To Consider Himself Dead

Mr. l.. good natured German. was
the proprietor Of a clothing business
In a country town. He had in his en-
ploy one John S. whom he had ad-
vauced from cash boy to head clerk.
Since his promotion John had several
times asked for an increase of salary,
and each time his request had been
granted. one morning he again ap
pearel at the old merchants desk with
another request for an increase of $40
q month.
Wy, Shon." said Mr.. L., Il dink

bays you any more"

The old Teuton took several whiffs
from his big pipe and finally said:

Some animals have wonderful! pow
ers of imitation. Dogs brought ap in
the company of cats have been known
to acquire the trick of licking the paws
and then washing the face When a
cat has been taught to sit up for her
food her kittens have been known to
initiate her action. Darwin tells of a
cat that was in the habit of putting
her paw into the mouth Of narrow
milk pitcher every time she got the
chance and then licking the cream Oft
her paw. Her kitten soon learned the
same trick. A lady tells of rabbit
that she keeps in a cage with a mon
key and says that Bunnie has caught
many of the monkeys ways. 1t is said
that starving pigeons that have been
brought up on grain will not eat peas
to save their lives. but that if pea eat.
ing pigeons are put with them they
follow their example and eat peas.

'I've just learned a new charm to tell
whether or not man loves you" said
the girl with golden hair.
What is it;" asked the girl with the
new diamond ring.
Why. you take four or FIVE apple
seeds and name each of them for par
ticular man and place them-the ap
pie seeds. mean-on the stove. and the
first one that pops is the one that loves
you"
"Humph" unused the girl with the
new diamond ring. absentmindedly
twisting that piece of jewelry about
her finger. 81 know surer way than
that"
You do?"
Yes, indeed. You take one particular
man and place him on the sofa in the
drawing room and sit close to him
with the light a little low, and look up
TO him very attentively. and if he
doesn't pop you know it's time 10 put
another man on the sofa"

Where ave Country Laes Behind.

One Of the chief cornerstones upon
which every great city is founded is
cheap transportation not only for long
distances over both land and water,
but also in the city itself by reason Of
paved streets and vehicles propelled by
inanimate power.
The country lacks that important ele-
ment cheap traS deportation. The vehi.
Gle propelled by animal power. pro-
eeeding over a common country road,
is about as expensive as it was fifty or
a hundred years ago 1t still costs by
that means 10 cents for passengers per
mile and % cents ton for freight
1t is the lack of cheap transportation
mainly for which country people suf-
fer. The remedy for this is to improve
public highways at public expense

Potato Bugs Immune to Poison.

AT meeting of the Somerset county
On j. board of agriculture the state
entomologist in speaking of fighting in
sects with paris green and similar
stomach poisons said there was wide
spread complaint that the former was
not as effective as it used to be. He
believed this to be due in part to a diff
ference in the making of the material.

Farm Wages Are Not So Bad.

Farm wages are not so bad after all
when compared Oh a fair basis with
We pay sof city help. Thus, according
to statistics quoted by Superintendent
]. ]. Linsley of the New Haven Conn
state employment bureau. the average
factory hand in the cities gets S12 a
month after paying for board and
washing. while the average farm hand
gets S14 month including board and
washing. the comparison showing
balance of 50 per month in favor of the
farm laborer. In this part of the coun-
try most farm hands earn more than
$14 net and are correspondingly better
off. but they do not handle quite so
much cash as does the mill hand. and
they do not feel as flush on pay day.
AS a matter of fact. their chances to
get ahead in the world are in nearly
every way much better. - American

hog loses about 20 per cent. or 10
pounds. leaving 100 pounds edible por-

be: Two hams. thirty pounds: two
shoulders. twenty-four pounds; four
strips bacon, twenty-eight pounds;
spareribs. head, feet and backbone,
thirty-five pounds. leaving about forty
five pounds for sausage and lard. The
meats TO be smoked will increase about
10 per cent in weight in the pickle, but
lose about the same in smoking, so the
selling weight is the same as the
dressing weight The following are
very conservative prices for coun
try dressed hog: Thirty pounds ham
at II cents $40; twenty eight pounds
bacon at - cents. $500; twenty
four pounds shoulder at cents. S2.16,
forty-fve pounds lard or sausage

Thursday night awakened his former
employer, Barber Charles Grishley, in
Braintree, and asked him to give him
the key to the Barber shop that he
might get his tools and some other
belongings. Schidlosska seemed
greatly excited as he talked. with
Grishley. He got the keys, secured
his belongings, and when he returned
the keys said: Good bye, am going
to California" ..
schidloscka left Grlshley's employ
last Saturday night, Saying he was
going to California within few days.
Schidlosska for long time, had talk.
ed with his employer regarding his
i:tention of going to California as
soon as he was able to do so. Although

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE
IS "A WESTERN TRICK

ordinary range tile scientist says that
about So per cent OF the heat gener.
ated is either wasted in the room or
by passing up the chimney, and that
less than five per cent. is actually util,
ICED because 1t cannot be kept in the
right place.
The percentage Of waste where oil,
Or even gas Is used is enormous. In
electric cooking the current is carried
directly beneath the dish holding the
food by means of wires. It's heat being
applied to pieces of metal on which
the dish rests. Even here from 10 to
20 per cent. of the electricity is sheer
waste.
Consequently, the hay box leads
every other appliance when 1t comes
TO preparing meal. Getting down TO
the matter OF dollars and cents, the
experiments which have been made
at the Western army posts, especially
ut Fort Riley, show that, where a
dollars worth Ct wood or coal may be
required to get dinner for a certain
number OF men, actually the same
work can be done for nickle with the
hay box.
