conversed with. in her out-of-the-way sphere, who executed the major portion of his dining by means of a fork, prop erly handled.
 Consequently the lighthouse keepers daughter promptly fell idolatrously in love with the young scientist.
 The young scientist coeldn't help it. He felt flattered that the young woman considered him possessed of the fatal gift of beauty, and all that, but inas- much as he was engaged to Washing ton young woman. who knew how to make honiton doylies and could play Monastery Bells" and 'The Maiden's Prayer" on the piano. he really felt very badly over the cascade of affection lav ished upon him by the Virginia sea nymph and daughter of nature.
 Moreover, the girl herself had . beau. He was rawboned young fish, erman. who combined business with pleasure by 'coteing" her while he greased his boots.
 This was, of course, a complication from the viewpoint of the young scientist. let alone all other considera- tions. The scientist had never seen the fisherman beau. and he didn't want to.
 After only half completing his work of gathering specimens. he packed up ard came back to Washington. glad to again find himself within the safe. en- folding embrace of pure. undiluted Science. with an upper-case s.
 Sadly enough, the lighthouse keepers daughter pursued him with more or less violently affectionate letters-none the less affectionate because they were one and all signed "yures verry respekfly"
 The guileless. conscientious young man of science was much perturbed after having received several dozens of these billet-doux. and he decided to ask the counsel of his immediate chief in the matter.
 When he did so. his immediate chief lay back in his chair and-well, hollered, He gave the embarrassed young scien- tist the loud and long laugh. Then, hrutaily enough. he related the story unto the delighted ears of the rest of the corps of scientists of the Smithsonian institution They. likewise. hollered.

n Lent she turns from gayeti9s
 And greets me with pensive air; She frowns on worldly revelries 3- And hunts out somber things to wear; Not that her faith enjoins her thus
 The righteous pathway to pursue, But merely (this between just us)
 It is ''the proper thing to do." In Lent there are no suppers
 Must pat for when the curtains fall; The cabbtes oft must wonder why
 I summon them no more at all; From worldly pleasures she withdraws Not that her creed coTppels her to. Or. that she's pious, but because
 It Is "the proper thing to do." In Lent bunch of yiolets
 Is all she costs me day by day; In Lent settle up the debts
 That I have long been urged to pay. She ceases for awhile to "pour,"
 She turns from teas and dances, too, Because, as has been said before,
 It Is "the proper thing to do." In Lent about three times week
 l sit alone with her at night And wonder If I ought to speak
 The words long have hoped might. ! rather like her pensiveness,
 Her coy, expectant manner, too; To speak or not-oh, well, guess
 It is the proper thing to do. -S. E. Riser, in Chicago Record Herald.

THE VALUE OF GOOD COWS
Few Farmers Realize the Income Which May Be Realized
 from Them.

Prof. Eckels, in charge of the depart ment of dairy husbandry at the Uni. versity of Missouri, says of the value of good COWS:
 "very few farmers realize the income that can be had from a good COW. The farmer who keeps a COW a year to raise a $15 or SEQ calf, usually thinks he has done we'll, but his profits do not compare with those of the dairyman. Except with the high priced registered cattle, the milk, not the calf, is the most valuable product of the COW.
 "The milk produced by the average Missouri COW in a year will sell for about $50 at the creamery or when made into irst-class butter. A good COW of the dairy breed will make at least $50 cash income every year. I have list of about 50 Missouri farm CTS who report a cash income of $50 to $l00 a COW every year. and these figures do not include the income from the sale of calves. and pigs fed on the skim milk. But says one, milking Is tremendous task As a matter of fact, it takes only 60 hours, worth Is cents an hour. to milk a COW twice day for ten months.
 Hast year the cash income from the kerd of cattle on the college farm was tS2.50 a COW for butter sold and s1250 . COW for milk. skinned milk and calves. making a total income from each COW of ss5- This year the average income per COW from the same source will be over s100 for the entire herd of 2s. These results do not come from expensive or excessive treatment of any kind But they are the result of do- ing the right things at the right time h the proper way

POLL. s
"THE TWO SISTERS"

A few years ago there was not a more popular play on the American stage than "The Two Sisters" a col laboration of Denman Thompson and George Byers. It ran with tremendous success for several seasons and was finally taken from the road to make way for new pieces, it's value as a money getter still undiminished. This season fine revival of the play has been made and it will be seen at Polls Saturday afternoon and evening. The company includes many of the original cast and has been adequately mount ed. Prices are 9, B and 50 cents; matinee, 15 and 25 cents.

 He was something short of seven feet in sheight; bony as the fossil Of mas- todon and considerably more angular. He was clad in withered suit of plain homespun, with his pants (they were pants. not trousers) tucked in his boots, and he shambled along as if he were at . deadly loss just what to do with his gigantic hands and fee. Nevertheless, he looked as if he might be able to hold his own in hand-to-paw encounter with Rocky mountain grizzly bear. One of the young scientists took him in hand and asked him his business, for the giant did not appear to have visited the institution merely for the purpose of inspecting the exhibits. The giant said that he was from the hereinbefore- mentioned island lying of the coast of Virginia, and that he was looking for the young scientist who had been there . few months before, having collected . number of specimens for him.
 The mischievous young man of science who had the giant in hand conceived an idea.
 "All right" he said. "I'll take you to him. By the way, do you know Miss Penelope Sadheart down your way?"
 "Ah sho'ly do, suh," was the giants reply.
 That so?" said the mischief-maker. "Well, I'll tell you. The gentleman you want to see met that young lady down at your island, and he'll be glad to know that you know her. Now, I'll show you where his desk is, and when you meet him it'll please him if you ask him if he knows Miss Penelope Sadheart."
 "Ve'y well, 'suh. Ahll ask him." said the giant.
 Then the mischief-maker went around and gathered together about dozen of the scientific corps on little gallery di- rectly overlooking the desk of the ob- ject of Miss Penelope Sadheart's affec- tion.
 Then he showed the giant where to
 
 engaged in sorting over some specimens on his desk.
 The giant from Virginia clomped up. stairs to the desk of the young scientist. for whom he had collected some speci- mems, and shambled up to where the young man sat.
 The young scientist looked up, and he went bit pale. Probably he had a sud- den glimmering idea of breakers ahead.
 "Suh," said the giant, solemnly ad- dressing the nervous young man of science at his desk, "Ah've come up this away from Browns island. Do you all know a Miss Penelope Sadheart?"
 The young scientist grabbed heavy paper weight in one hand and rubber ruler in the other and jumped up. He was game, all right. sarz,. .-%
 "Yes, do," he replied, with his face as chalky as mans face can get. "What of it?'
 The words that were probably thump- ing through his head just then were: Here's that girls fisherman beau, and he's going to make two bites of me; but I'm a-going to give him run for his money at that!" .. 5 "Oh, nuthin', suh," said the giant. "Ah jes' happened tuh mention huh. Ah've toted up heah some O them things you all was a-lookin' foh down owuh " way awhile back. ..andvs,,' ssi. aIisy li.Ai
 Then the young scientist fell back in his chair with the relaxation of pure joy, and his blood began to circulate again. Washington Star.

One of the oldest living Osages is Bare Legs, now about 80 years old, though he does not seem to be more than 50.

He takes his annuity, however, in the most approved style, and spends 1t with lavish Indian prodi- gality.-Kansas City Journal.
