Loud sobbing was heard behind the
closed doors, and from each interview
Miss Harold emerged with eyes red from
weeping. The major would only say:

It was reported on Ellis Island that
he is eager to marry Miss Harold, but
that he has not so many worldly goods

Feeding Bees in Winter.

The proper time to feed for winter is
before winter has set in. If, however
from some unavoidable cause you have
bees in starving condition, feed with
no regard to the temperature. Frames
hlled with honey are the thing to give
colonies lacking in stores at a time when
the snow is flying 1t is not bad plan
to warm these up somewhat before Civ
Ing them to the bees. If frames OF honey
cannot be given, candy made from pure,
white sugar will answer first-rate, says
Farm and Home. Break this up in
chunks and lay on top of the frames.
During warm days, sugar strip may be
led, and is much more easily prepared.
Make this half sugar and half water.

LIVED TWENTY YEARS
WITHOUT BEING KISSED
This Tennesseean Boosted That He

In explaining how he happened t.

q very bashful boy. At a party before

which the young women had to forfeit a
kiss to her captor
Young Richardson's timidity being
known. plan was formed to get him to
kiss girl. She placed a pin in her
mouth, and when Ellis bashful lips were
to press hers she was TO prick his lfps
with the pin. The fateful moment came.
ELI demurred. but was prevailed upon to
take the kiss from the maiden. He
started to implant the kiss, but his eve

fused. From that day until his death he
never kissed woman.

Stats, except the ends. The Stats are
usually ia inches wide and nve-eighths
of an inch thick. The Stats in front are
run up and down and are two inches
apart to allow the chickens to put their
heads through for feeding. The Stats
on the bottom are three-fourths of an
inch apart, so as TO admit of the drop
pings passing through to the ground.
Care should be taken not to have the
first bottom Stat at the back fit closely
against the back, as this will hold the
droppings. The feeding and watering
are done by means of a trough in front
running the entire length of che coop.
This trough is from two to three inches
deep and is made of three-quarter inch
lumber.

without any sign of packing. To make
shaper, first build a frame and then
in this frame construct two troughs,
each ten feet long. These troughs are
constructed by mailing together two
boards, seven-eighths of an inch thick
and six inches wide, at right angles.
After plucking the fowls, says the
Indianapolis News, lay the carcasses
in the trough with the heads hanging
down, the legs alongside the breast
and the breast downward. By gentle
pressure force the carcass down into
the angle of the trough. Cover each
carcass with oiled paper; then have an
inch board six inches wide to lay on
the carcasses and weight this board
down with brick or heavy stone at
either end. AS the carcass Of the bird
is slipped under the board, move the
lower brick or stone to obtain the
weight. The carcasses should be kept
in this position for six or seven hours,
and they will then be shaped and ready
for packing in crates. The illustration
shows the construction of this shaper
in detail, and, as will ne seen, any
handy man can construct it readily.

PARROT ON STEAMER
GIVES AWAY ROMANCE
His Endearing Cries Cause Bushes
Among Passengers and Furnish
Food for Thought.

New York.-A big green parrot was
second-class passenger on the steamer
st. Paul when it arrived here the other
day. All the way over the parrot
amused the storm-tossed passengers by
crying most agreeably: Hello, major!
How are you, major! Glad to see you,
major!" Sometimes the parrot became
more affectionate and exclaimed. invit-
ingly: Kiss me, major!"
The parrot belongs to Miss Margaret
Harold, an attractive young English
woman. who smiled when the bird said:
Hello, major" ana frowned modestly
when the parrot said: kiss me, major"
So the second cabin whispered that Miss
Harold was crossing to keep her promise
to marry a certain major, formerly Of
his majesty's army, now engaged in
peaceful pursuits in this land of the
free. But what the majors name was.
neither Miss Harold nor the green par
rot would tell
Sure enough, the major met Miss
Harold at the pier. Hello, MAORI"
yelled the parrot. joyously But after
a few minutes talk with the major.

Lieut.. c. A. Coryell, formerly OF the

swamp. There was a truce between the
pickets and everything wore Sabbath
like stiffness.
Coryeu had nothing to do and was
out OF tobacco. How to get chew was
the question. Finally a handsome
young officer from the confederate side
strolled out between the lines. Coryeu
hailed him at once:
