Not the Queen of sheba.

The teacher was going over the
good old story of King Solomon ana
his wisdom.
Now, dears, who was the great
queen who travelled so many miles
and miles to see the king?"
Silence prevailed in the class.

queen who came to see the king?"
The name had been forgotten by
the class. In order to help them.

very great queen"
Just then up shot little hand, and

little, authenticated girl. She trans
fixed the listening schoolroom with
the following brief statement:
Il know; it was the Queen of
Spades!"

Simple Exclamation.

An old man wandered into one of
the hospitals of an Eastern city. His
eyesight was rather bad, and he had
come in the hope of securing relief.
He was turned over to a young doc
tor, who adjusted a large frame in
front of the patients eyes and placed
in 1t a couple of strong magnifying
glasses He then held printed card
some distance away.
Can you read that?" he asked.
"No, sir" replied the old man.
The doctor then put in stronger
glasses and brought the card nearer.
We'll" he inquired, can you read
it now?"
The old fellow shook his head, say
ing, "No, not word"
After repeating this performance
several times the doctor was about to
turn him over in despair to his more
experienced superior, when the old
man quietly explained:
You see, doctor, never learned to
read"

Quain, In his Medical Dictionary, ar
bitrarily defines advanced life as the
period between sixty-two and eighty
two. and the time of old age beyond
that period. But the inhrmities of
age are measured, not so much by
length of days as by the integrity of
the bodily functions. and the sound
ness of the organic structures
The question. How much work Is
normal and rational for each? must
be answered according to the past life
and present condition of each indi-
vidual old man or woman. For most
old people, however, there is no en-
ployment better than work in gar
den in which they have some CONNER
cial interest. Money, honestly earned
and wisely spent, promotes health.

Shut Your Mouth.

quite essential before the air is drawn
into the lungs.

the next inquiry, accompanied by
comprehensive sweep of the hand.

His visitor expressed approval of
his surroundings. which certainly were
well worthy of the appellation Snug"
bestowed upon them by their owner.
At the same time there was an air of
compactness. of severe attention to
detail, which was suggestive of the
fact that the present occupant had, at
one time or other, been restricted in
the matter of elbow room.
Yes, I'm pretty comfortable" the
doctor went on. I've got very
good housekeeper, on the whole. Her
chief fault is that she's so confound-
eddy suspclous!"
Suspicious" re-echoed the other.
We'll | thought she looked at me
rather strangely when she let me in"
The little doctor chuckled, and
showed symptoms of great inward en-
joyment. "Ah! you thought so, did
you? The fact is, she's in mortal
terror of my getting married."
We'll, but that wouldn't make her
suspicious of mel"
MY dear fellow, she's suspicious of
everybody. She's jealous of every
woman, single or married, because
the single ones, being single, are open
to offers, while the married ones are
liable to lose their husbands at mo-
ments notice, and, as widows, would
be more to be feared than the others
But belong to neither category"
said the young man. Surely"
MY dear boy" cut in the other, "as
young man you are likely to pos
sess female relatives-a sister or q
cousin or an aunt, either of whom
might eventually prove dangerous to
my peace of mind"
Ted Burritt actually laughed to the
little mans great satisfaction, as the
idea presented itself to him of his
sister May as possible aspirant to
the position of Mrs. jeremiah Cart

He took him out through the sur
gerry, and showed him neat little
domain, which was divided into por-
tions, in which grew, respectively,
flowers, fruit and vegetables. At the
bottom was a fowl run and very
small circular pond, about the size of
an ordinary wash-hand basin. in which

There was a nose of something me-

"Hullo!" cried the doctor. What's
that?"
And, regardless of the consequences
to his clothes, he began to grope
among the shattered remains of the
flooring.
In few seconds he looked up again,
flushed and grimp, but triumphant.

with the advent of the cold wealth
err the doors and windows are closed,
largely shutting out the purifying in
fluences Of the fresh air which has so
freely circulated through the house
during the warmer season.
The rude habitations of our pioneer
ancestors, with their capacious open
freplaces, were superior to our mod
ern palatial dwellings in that there
was always possible an abundant sup
ply of fresh air. Houses of the pres
ent day in our civilized land are made
as nearly alright as architectural
skill can secure, and unless provided
with some systematic mechanical
means of ventilating, the indoor air Is
constantly contaminated with breath
poisons and other impurities resulting
from the heating and lighting and
cooking within the house, so as to
be constant menace to the health Of
the inmates.
Probably the best means of provid-
ing the needed supply of fresh air, Is
the open fire with wide-mouth chin
ney to act as ventilator. The open
crate is likewise the most healthful
means Of heating a house; although
so far as fuel alone is concerned, 1t Is
not the most economical. Weighed In

top Of which should extend above the
roof like chimney. The ventilating
shaft should always be located in an
inside wall, and, If possible, should
be placed next to n chimney which Is

pure air should be at the bottom of
the room when the house is heated
by furnace or by other means which
warns the fresh air before 1t is adj
mitted to the rooms. If the fresh air
is admitted cold, the foul-air outlet
should be at higher level The best
point Is perhaps at about four feet
from the floor. This will secure a
thorough admixture of the air. If the
outlet is at the floor, the cold fresh
air admitted to the room will pass
out before it has been warmed and
used, while the hot foul air Will &C

room, and thus the change of air will
be imperfect.
1.-TWO openings must be provided to
secure proper ventilation, one for the
entrance of fresh air, the other for
the exit of foul air It is in every
way better that the air should be
heated, at least partially, before II

RAISES TWO CROPS.
Burlington Man Plants Corn When
Wheat Is Harvested.

w. B. Mather, living on the river
just northeast of town, has utilized
about twenty acres of his ground in
good shape this year. July IL he
harvested a crop of wheat off the
ground that went only about 25 BUSH
els to the acre owing to the seed
planted being poor. Mr.. Mather was
not satisfied with the return from this
land so Immediately planted it in corn.
August 81 he had laid the corn by and
part of it is beginning to tassel. If the
weather is good and the cold weather
holds off he has a mighty good chance
to get a good crop off the ground and
even if the corn is not extra large it
will make a lot of feed for his stock
and give him a chance to sell his good
corn.
1t has been suggested that the farm
ers might always do this and get two
crops off the same ground in one sea-
son, but some contend that it wears
out the ground and both the crops are
sighted If a few of the farmers had
done it this year they would have Sc
cured four crops instead of two.-Bur-

of enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady in Florida writes:

good coffee, and for years drank it at
least three times a day. At last, how
ever, I found that it was injuring me.
"I became bilious, subject to fire.

very nervous. that I could not lift a
spoon to my mouth without splitting a

'rickety' and beat SO fast and SO hard
that I could scarcely breathe, while my
skin got thick and dingy, with yellow
bIotches on my face, caused by the
condition Of my liver and blood I
made up my mind that all these affilc-
lions came from the coffee, and de-
ter1nined to experiment and see.

THYME PLANT TO OPEN.
Has Been Closed Several Weeks for
Needed Repairs.

Leavenworth, Aug. 25.-The Irvine
plant of the Kansas state prison, which
has been closed down for the past
three weeks. will start again some
time next week. The factory was not
closed down owing to a shortage in
sisal, but because a great many repairs
be made before the work could be
carried on any further. The roof on
the Irvine plant has been in bad con-
dition for some time and prisoners
were put to work repairing it. The
machinery is to undergo a thorough
overhauling and when the plant re-
sumes, everything will be in the best
of condition. Some of the machinery
had got out of shape during the past
few weeks and some additional parts
had to be sent for and these arrived
yesterday. The officials have on hand
about 1000 bales of sisal and this will
last for some time. Another large
supply is expected from the south
within a short time.
