The recent death in Havana Of Gen.
Maxine Gomez removed one of the
most picturesque figures that has ever
appeared upon the pages Of Cuba's
thrilling history. In the smaller sphere
to which fate confined him. Gomez
showed the great qualities that place
his name fifty with those of Washing

the field that he won the title of the
Liberator of Cuba, but especially in
the troubled times following the inter-
vention of the United States, when his
disinterestedness and craftsmanship
helped to bring about settlement.
Though Santo Domingo holds his
birthplace, Gomez's life was given to
Cuba and was spent OIL the island, ex-

A PEANUT GAME.

An amusing game, with prizes at
tached, is played by spreading a pile
of peanuts upon table and placing
two empty deep dishes upon another
table at the opposite end of the room.
A table knife is given to the first
player, who must take up as many
peanuts upon its blade as 1t will holo
and carry them across the room to
the deep dish without splitting the
nuts off, if possible.
Each player is timed, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. If any of the pea
nuts are spilled from the knife, the
player must take them up again on
it and deposit them in the dish. AS
each player finishes the nuts are
turned from the first dish into the
second one, which serves as reser-
voir for all the nuts carried across
by the players. Each players nuts
are counted, and at the end of the
game the person who has carried
over the greatest number of them
wins the first prize The BOBBY
prize is given to the one landing the
smallest number of peanuts in the
reservoir. Fifteen is a large number
to carry across in three trips, con.
Stunning in all two minutes. Only the
knife can be used in taking up the
peanuts.

Who could guess that the dande.
lion was the "dent-de-lion," or lions

looks like turban, and tulip was an

An Aneodote Of Gorky.

Anecdotes of Maxim Gorky are on
the wing. Here is one they tell in

should keep on staring. We have come
here to see charming play. Be good
enough to attend to that, and leave

the audience shouted with joy. Per-
haps they thought they would get an
other speech, but Gorky jumped out of

Just Meanderina.

A city girl writes: at is a fond
dream of mine to become farmers
wife and meander with him down
life's pathway"
All, yes. that is nice thing; but
when your husband meanders off and
leaves you without wood and you have
to meander up and down the lane
pulling splinters off the fence to cook
dinner, and when you meander along
in the wet grass in search of the cows
till your shoes are the color of raw
hide and your stockings soaked, and
when you meander out across twenty
acres of ploughed ground with a club
to drive the hogs out of the cornfield
and tear your dress on the barb-wire
fence. when you meander back home
to the house, find that the billy goat
has butted the stuffin' out of your
child and find the old hen with forty
chickens in the parlor, you'll put your
hands on your hips and realize that
meandering is not what it is cracked
up to be.-Osborne (Kan.) News.

Mamma, want some green pups
for my birthday partly" was the odd
declaration made by a bright little
girl whose mother was preparing to
celebrate the fourth anniversary Of
the child's birth. The mother was
puzzled, but the child insisted that
she knew what would make her
happy and that it was nothing more
or less than green pups" All the
various kinds of dogs known to the
parent were suggested to the child,
but she shook her head. Green
pups" were none of those. Then the
little one explained that green pups
were something to eat, and the
mother was more mystified than
ever. She had heard of chocolate
dogs and yellow ducks, but a confec.
ton known as green dogs" was be.

After much questioning the mother
learned that the strange things for
which the girl longed could be found
in the bakery to which the child had

was taken there by her mother and
asked to point out her green pups,
which turned out to be-"cream
puffs."

For Fatteninr Fowls.

In fattening poultry for market be
sure and produce, as nearly as is pos
sible, the color of flesh desired. II
the market demands fowls with white
flesh, feed during the fattening period
n mixture composed of two pounds
of ground oats, two pounds Of ground
buckwheat and one pound OF ground
corn. Use skim milk for mixing, and
mako to the consistency of thin por-
ridge. If yellow flesh is wanted.
feed rations Of two pounds of ground
corn, one pound Of ground oats and
one pound of ground buckwheat. In
either ration small quantity of salt
should be added to give flavor.
In the absence of skim milk for
mixing the ration. use water, but in
clude with the ground food little
meat and few finely chopped vege-
tables. No matter what the breed
of fowl to be fattened, care should
be used not to feed too much corn,
for 1t will not be possible for the
birds to relish 1t long, hence they will
not eat greedily enough to fatten
them quickly and prolitably.

THE RATS sTRATAGEM.

/ was spending holiday with a
farmer friend. and one day he and l
were looking from IA window into the
farmyard. Several rats were scurry-
Ing about, when suddenly one of my
friends dogs appeared and cut off the
rats from all means of escape save
one. The dog was young, and al
though intensely keen on rats. was,
owing to ineXperience, rather fright
ened to tackle them. A small drain
ran through the yard, and at the end
of it was the one hole of escape left
to the rats.
The hole was very small, but they
all got in smartly enough except one
large powerful rodent, who had diff
Guilty in squeezing in. He got the
forepart of his body through; but
just as he was half way the pup
made snap at him. The rat turned
and snarled, and the pup retreated.
The rat then tried again, but when
he got into his former position the
pup was biting him severely in the
back. He had to come out again and
face the pup, but the pup was at a
distance waiting for another chance
This was repeated again and again.
The rat was getting exhausted, and
would certainly have been killed had
it not been for wonderful display oil
courage and cunning. While the
large rat was looking hopelessly
round two smaller rats emerged from
the ho.e and pluckily faced the pup
who. however, was quite cowed By
the sight of two of them. Meantime
the large rat, by dint of much strug
Cling, passed into the hole. Then the
other two turned about and Slipped
into the hole while the pup was still
