such high praise that decided to try

Over and over we hear women saw:

The catarrh may be all in the ab-

WHY POULTRY WILL PAY
Eight Important Points Which En-
courage Every Farmer to Keep
Hens for Profit. 8

Prof. Gilbert, of Ottawa. Can, gives
the following reasons why poultry is
valuable to the farmer:
Because he ought, by their means,
to convert q great deal of the waste of
his farm into money in the shape of
eggs and chickens for market. 5S
Because, with Intelligent manage
ment, they ought to be all year revenue
producers, with the exception of per.
haps two months during the molting
season.
Because poultry will yield him a
quicker return for the capital invested
than any other department of agricul.
ture.
because the manure from the poul-
try house will make valuable compost
for use in either vegetable garden or
orchard. The birds themselves, if al
lowed to run in plum or apple orchard,
will destroy all injurious insect life. !
Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised in
all parts of the country.
because poultry raising is an EN-.
ployment in which the farmers wife and
daughters can engage, and leave him
free to attend other departments.
Because it will bring him the best
results in the shape of new-laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has time on his hands.
because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital
BY good management poultry can be
made with little costa valuable adjunct
to the farm"

Miss Betty was slender young per-

stout man quickly and couple OF by
ISLANDERS joined in his laugh.
A delicate flush rose in the girls
cheeks, but she answered coolly:
why do you suppose he is excep-
tional?"
''Oh. he's a man of the world he
is" answered the stout man, jovially.
And he's a swell-not like us poor
city Johnnies-had lots of experience,
he added. with a laugh. Come, now,
you look so jolly confident, what IL
you bet on it? You must bet or I'll
believe you're climbing down"
Il don't care if do," she returned,
with look of savage yelled contempt
at the laughing group of men. What
will you go?"
The fat man pulled himself up in
his chair and his eyes twinkled. He
knew Ralph Pyne pretty we'll and he
knew he would not easily be made

Well, I'll go as far as a pin

'Hum-yes-hauged if I wont stand

Done, Mr.. Juarez," answered Betty
as she moved away.
Ralph Pyne mad already spent two
days in Betty's company and had en-
joyed himself as most men did under
the circumstances, and he was not at
all loath to escort her home by the
short cut through the covert after she
had superintended the shooters tea at
the gamekeeper's cottage.

Betty suddenly grew scarlet from an
ger.
Miss Elizabeth Langley, l lay my
hand and heart at your feet"
Declined with thanks" cried Betty
with a peal OF laughter. Now shake
hands," and they shook hands.
The shower mad ceased and Betty
rose to her feet and shook the dead
leaves from her skirts
For awhile Ralph Pyne walked on
in deep meditation. Suddenly he
spoke. Miss Betty, what assurance
have you that Juarez will admit you
have won your bet?"
What assurances! Isn't my word
enough?" she returned.
1T would make it a good deal surer
if you told him you are engaged to
me- he answered calmly.
Betty sprang back, her face pale and
her eyes blazing.
'How dare you! How dare you!
And l thought we were friends she
ended with a snlothered sob and van
ished among the trees.
An hour later very pale and sub"
dued Betty came gliding through The
strawberries. AS she put her foot on
the veranda Mr.. Juarez strolled OUT
of the open billiard-room window.
"Hullo, Miss Bet," he shouted

continued, changing his tone to one
of maudlin tenderness, you shan't be
a loser by him. You shall have your
pin all the same. Now doesn't that de-
serve kiss for thanks?'
His odious arm was round her. Bet
ty gave cry Of disgust and twisted
herself away. At the same moment an
ungentle push sent Nir. Juarez stagsef-
ing to the end of the veranda and a
cool voice said: "Pll thank you to
treat this lady with little more re-
spect."
"What the dickens have you got TO
say to it," shouted Juarez, VINO was

end of the yerauda and stood leaning
against it's friendly support.

A RoMTo WITH DYNAMITE.

There are those who believe that love was stronger and truer in the pre- historic days when young Romeo, clad only in sunlight, batted his Juliet uover the head with the thigh bone of a dinosaur and carried her to his cave, where theiy lived happily ever after. So far as is known, there were no di- vorces in those days. Strength, aggressiveness, adring, brute force count with women to-day. A Rome dispatch tells of young Italian who loved flower girl intensely. She wouldn't have him. She laughed at him publicly and he stabbed her in the neck He wore ball and chain tempt at matrimony he used stiletto and had the lady pretty well carved when the, police came. He served a year for assault and again came to the front with protestations of undying love. The lady said no, and he blew up her house with dynamite. The kitchen flew over the barn and the parlor disappeared in the celler, while the girl was taken to the hospital and her lover went to pail.
 Now. you would naturally think that the young woman would have cheer fully seen her assailant boiled in oil or drawn and quartered, all of which shows how little you know of a wo- mans heart. On her knees she went before the judge and begged the law to excuse the man who loved her so well. The judge couldn't quite excuse the dynamiting, but he made the sen- tence as light as possible and later the couple were married, a Id are said to be living happily. Of course, it wouldn't be wise to advise lovers to go a-woo- ing with Gatling guns or dynamite, but certain it is that he strong man, the fellow who does things, can com n1and respect of Adam, and it pro- bably always will be.--Atlanta Journal.
