Somehow Gertie could find no an

the street. Helen went on: did
you notice Sadie Burns, the little
brown-eyed thing with the blue veins
on her forehead?"
"The one that clung to your dress

Eyes, that was Sadie. The matron
told me that one day when Sadie was
sick a lady who is very fond of her.
and who often visits at the asylum,
came to see her, and brought her a
little puppy, which she thought would
anuse her. Of course, the child was
delighted with the puppy, and at last
the lady said to her: IF you could
shave just what you want most of all
for yourself. Sadie. what would it
be?' She thought the little thing
would like the puppy, and she meant
to give it to her, if the matron was
Willing; but Sadie put the dog down
at once, and, stepping close to the
up at her with those big, solemn
brown eyes, she said: I'D like most
of anything to sit in your lap few
minutes just as if I was your own
little girl
Gertie turned impusively to her
friend. II never imagined they felt
so, Helen," she said, remorsefully.
They don't all, of course" Helen
answered.; "but I know that some do.
and I cannot bear to think of little
children going hungry for kisses. I
can't give them mother kisses, but I
do the best can. even if my dress
does suffer little."

"Afraid!" he exclaimed. "Why

Really, don't know" she replied;
"but it's usual, you know"

For the Askinu.

Thirty-five years ago a man sold
over 100000 cardboard hangers thus
inscribed: IF You Don't See What
You Want, Ask For It." They were
suspended in conspicuous places in
stores all over the United States, and
customers were tickled by the compli-
ment. Any merchant could have had
the cards put to press by the local
printer, but few thought of it. Besides
to print two or three was expensive.
In this lackadaisical world of ours it
is necessary to tell the great majority
of people what to do even in their
own lines of business. Initiative is
the gift which the gods most grudg-
ingly bestow.-New York Press.

THE cow WAS CURIOUS.
She Visited Saloon, a Store and :
Hotel During Her Promenade,


Z Hotel During Her Promenade.
The proverbial bull in the china
shop was literally outclassed last
night by a rebellious cow that broke
away from it's herd and raided two
stores and a hotel near Sixteenth and
Market streets. $50.
The COW belonged to herd which
was being driven east on Market
street.. When the animal reached
Seventeenth and Market streets, the
COW became stubborn and refused to
follow it's companions. It trotted away
and before the drovers could stop it
entered the saloon of Edward Cronin
at 1913 Market street.
There were sixteen or eighteen men
fined up around the bar, and when
"Sookie'' strolled calmly in many of
them imagined that friend of the
neither regions had taken new form.
There was wild scamper and the
place was deserted in minute. After
knocking few glasses from the bar
the COW left the place.
1t then calmly strolled into the dry
goods store at 1916 Market street. A
number of women were in the store
shopping, and those that wore red
lodged out of sight in the twinkling
OF an eye. Then the others followed
within minute later.
Then the COW left the store and
sauntered into the woman's entrance
to the Keystone hotel, few doors
away. Night Clerk Hoff threw up
his hands and fed. The animal walk.
ed through the hallway and then
scattered the guests in the dinina
room. In the kitchen three women
cooks dropped pans and dishes and
skipped out of ''Sookie's' way.
Then the COW tried to go upstairs;
The staircase was narrow, howeveri
and it became fast about halfway up.
With the help of several men the cow
was pulled downstairs by it's tail.
1t rejoined the rest of the herd and
later tried to ascend the steps of the
Arcade building, but the drovers head.

MOTOR MADE BY sAvAGEs.
Natives Of Tahiti Used It Hundreds Of
Years Ago.. -

Years Ago.. 81
Mortar was made by the people of
Tahiti when our ancestors were shiv-
ering in holes in the rocks. They
dived into the sea, brought up great
Jumps Of coral, burned them in pits,
using wood as fuel, and mixed the
lime they got in this fashion with
sharp sand and water. With this
mixture the ingenious savage plas-
tered the walls and floors of his
house, and a better mortar could not
be obtained.
Another purely savage invention
which is perhaps the most familiar
object of modern life is the tobacco
pipe-not only the common clay,
which the North American Indians
:molded centuries ago out of the red
sandstone of Colorado, but the wood
en- pipe, the prototype of the every
day briar. The bowl was followed
out of any well-seasoned piece of hard
wood, but the stem rather puzzled
people who had no augurs. In some
savage pipes which have crooked
stems the wood Of which the latter
was composed has been split, each
piece followed separately and the
two pieces spliced together again.
The great steam plow that tills with
steel point ten acres of land in a day
is the direct descendant of the saw
ages wooden plow which oxen pulled,
or, before oxen were domesticated, a
team of women hauled through the
soil.

Why Brady Prefers Fiction.

If Cyrus Townsend Brady is ever
'lured into writing plays or even
adapting his own numerous novels.
he will certainly rival every other
writer in productivity. AS novel
ist who hands out a book a month
with high-class short stories sand
wiched in between, Mr.. Brady is we'll
known, but he is also Philadelphia
minister and writes Sunday sermons
with equal facility.
While over in New York yesterday
to see his publishers, he was button
holed by theatrical manager. who
bubbled over with desire to handle
"a play of the Rev. Brady's
Its flattering and tempting, my
dear sir, but, really-now, really-I
think I'll stick to story writing just
|yet a while," objected the novelist.
'But think of the superior profits
on successful play"
II know, I know. But when you
write serial story for, a magazine,
no matter how bad it is, they can't
stop running it until you write
'Finis.' But sometimes a play sees
it's end before the second act on the
opening night. Boston Post.

THE VALUE OF OATS.
a Grain That Makes Fine Feed for
Every Animal Found
On the Farm.

It is hard to estimate the value OF
oats on the farm. They make fine feed
for every animal found on the farm. In
short, no farmer ,'ught to think of be-
ing without them each year. In some
countries cats do not grow as we'll as
in others, but where they will grow
fairly well think every farmer should
grow at least a few acres each year.
There is no animal but that will relish
oats and get much good from them. II
all farm animals had a few more oats
mixed with their corn they would
thrive much better.
The main use of oats on the farm Is
for horse-feeding, and no feed will take
the place of them for this purpose. The
practice of feeding corn, and corn only,
to work-horses has ruined more than
one horse, and it is high time that the
American farmer finds and adopts a
better method of taking care ff his
horses. Until our horses are fed bet
ter we will have to do with second
class horse. 1t is the rule in many
parts Of the country where corn is the
principal crop to feed corn exclusively
as a grain ration. This is wrong; corn
is far from the proper food. For this
purpose no grain exceeds oats and ev-
cry horse should have them # posi-
BILE. They give the horse jslst the
needed vitality for the work. Raise
oats, if for nothing more than horse
feed. The horse needs the best iced.
What is better for COWS ttan few
oats? | am sure / can not tell, and
surely would be pleased 60 know.
Sheaf-oats are fine for milk. cows, and
threshed oats will keep up their yitali-
ty as no other grain will dc. And what
pleases cow better than to run to the
straw-stack? A straw-stack is worth
quite sum for this purpose. Feed the
COWS some good hay in the morning
and at night, but make them run to the
straw during the day, and you will get
several dollars out Of it. If you keep
nothing but COWS you had better have
some oats.
And for the poultry yard oats should
form an important part of the ration.
Soaked oats are SCOu. 1 dlSO linz "
give sheaf-oats, and let the hens
scratch out the grain For young
chickens oats and corn ground together
and baked into cake make a good
feed. And cats are fine for hogs, too;
corn is not the only feed for them. Last
summer l had some pigs which did not
grow just right, but al soon as l had
threshed my oats I began feeding a few
by scattering over the ground, and
that gave those pigs start which they
never forgot More Ga IS should lie fed
with corn to the young and growing
animals.
would advise to stack some OF them
near the barn or in the barn, and feed
them in the sheaf during the winter;
there is no better winter feed for
horses. They make a special feed for
horses. See that the horses have tbs
first chance at them; ,hey need them
most.-E. J. Waterstripe, in Farm and
Fireside.

HERE AND THERE.

The well-fed sheep always produce
the most and best wool, for the med
ern mutton sheep is also a wool pro-
Queer. This stands to reason.
-Cheapness is the only virtue of the
mongrel fowl, and even that is imagi-
nary, for, like all cheap articles, near
ly all the desirable qualities have been
sacrificed in its production.
The crop-reporting year for cotton
begins with the special schedule sor
May 25, which is one of great i'm
portance. This schedule largely .le-
termines the acreage Of this crop.
-Fifty-one million ene hundred and
eight thousand one hundred and sixty
nine bushels of corn of the value OF
$27,O2O,061 were exported from this
country during the period Of eight
months beginning with July l, 1904.
The amount OF maple syrup ESQ
called eaten by the people is nearly
seven times as great as the actual pro-
duction in the maple-sugar orchards.
These statistics show the magnitude Of
the imposition practised upon the con-
sumers.
No animals are more dependent
on intelligent care than are sheep.
First-class sheep never come by
chance: they are the result of skilled
and intelligent care, and they give am
pie return for that care in both wool
and mutton.
-Post1nasters are requested to post
conspicuously in their Offices, the crop
report cards sent to them each month
for the information of the public. Crop
correspondents are requested to call
the attention of their pcstmasters to
this matter.
The Lancet, the English surgical
authority, says that the flesh OF the
turkey is more nourishing than beef.
The moisture in beef, however, exceeds
the moisture n turkey, while the lat

ted, or flesh-forming substance.

Italian immigration southwark on to

litical aspects are said not to interest
him. The plan, however, is one that
concerns all the inhabitants of the

hundred thousand Italians annually
