sRAvED ANGER OF KING.
Lafayette Flaunted Liberty Medal ih
Face of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return %
France from his second sojourn IN
America, he was at Versailles, where
the king was about to review a divi.
sion of troops. Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American unt
form, and was standing by the side Of
the Prince de Conde, when the king,
in his tour Of conversation with the
officers. came to him, and, after
speaking on several topics, asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume Of the United
States. The kings attention was at.
tracted by little medal attached to
the generals coat, and he asked what
It was.
Lafayette replied that 1t was a sym.
boil which it was the custom OF for
eign officers in American service to
wear, and that it bore a device.
"And what is the device upon
yours?" asked the king.
"My DEVICE" said the young gen
eral, pointing to his medal, "is a lib
erty pole standing on broken crown
and scepter."
The king smiled, and with some
pleasantly upon the republican pro-
pensities of a French Marquis in
American uniform, turned the conver-
sation into other channels. Conde
looked grave, but was silent.-The

PRETTY PASTlMES.
DEVICES BY WHICH HOSTESS MAY
AMusE GUESTS.
Portrait Party Easily Arranged and
Very EnjoyabIe-Setting for a u
Harvest Home FroIic in
Barn or Parlor.

The hostess who enjoys a social at.
fair entailing no brain fag should is.
sue invitations for portrait party.
The only apparatus necessary is a
quantity of blank cards or squares OF
pasteboard, say about five inches
square, and pencils. =
Each gentleman on arriving receives
slip of paper on which is written
the name of some lady in the company,
and when the fun is in readiness the
partners thus appointed must sit op.
posite each other and draw each 9TH
er''s nkenesses.
At the end of ten minutes the por-
traits are collected by the hostess,
numbered and pinned up on the wall.
The men then choose new partners
and the game proceeds as before.
Each player before the drawing
stops must draw three members of the
opposite sex in rounds of ten minutes
each. -
When the drawing is at an end the
company, furnished with slips of paper
and pencils, guesses or tries to guess
the subjects of the different like
nesses.
A prize, which might be an order
for pictures on some Photographic es-
tablishment of the neighborhood, Is
awarded for the best set of guesses.
Another prize could be given for the
sketch pronounced cleverest by a con.
sensus of opinion. A framed photo
graph Of some portrait masterpiece
would make a good choice.
Harvest Home Party.
The harvest home idea is splendid
one for an evening indoors, and can be
made extremely picturesque as well
as amusing.
A barn is an ideal setting for such
a frolic,. but when this is not avail
able the parlor can be trimmed to
meet the requirements Of the festival.
Festoon the ceiling with ears OF
corn wired together to form ropes.
II given in the house, bank the cor.
ners of the room and the fireplace Ut

tissue paper poppies.
Have for the mantel or some other
prominent position large, prettily
arranged basket of fruit and vines, or
fruit and vegetables.
The hostess and other girls Of the
party should wear gingham aprons
and sun bonnets.

games is in order, such as race,
pushing apples with match sticks, or
the game where those present are di-
vided into two sides and outvie each
other in filing two baskets with the
fruit, which is carried on teaspoons.
Or introduce a corn shelling contest,
with prize for the person shelline
his or her ear in the shortest time.
Or have list OF names of fruit and
vegetables in which the letters are
jumbled, and let the men and girls
work these out, with gift for the one
setting most words to rights.
The supper should be of the good
old-fashioned country type. Corn meal
porridge, with maple syrup, fried chick
en-, waffles, baked apples, milk, tea,
preserves and plain cake.
A barn dance, or parlor imitation
Of It, should round out very pleasant

BEES CLOSED A MINE.
owarmed in Millions and Men Were
Unable to Work.

j
There are instances in great number
where mining operations were tenn
porarily suspended by shortage OF
funds or by water flooding the proper
ty, but it remained for Mohawk, q
small station along the Southern Pa
cific, to furnish a new cause which is
unique in the history of mining. The
company affected owns the Red Cross
mines in the Mohawk mountains.
Millions of bees. attracted by the
water at these mines and forced from
their hives in the mountains by the
drought, took possession of the water
supply, and their numbers were SO
great that it was found impossible to
drive the swarms away. Consequently
the mines have been shut down until
the rainy season sets in, when 1t Is
hoped the bees will return to their
mountain homes.-Sacramento Bee.

Strange World rour.

y A story Is told in Paris of 4 titled
painters pilgrimage. Ten years ago
Viscomte jacques de Gruart laid q
wager of 100000 that he and his bride,
% De married in the day of departure,
could make tour of the world, living
on the earnings of the vicomte's brush.
Ihere was no stipulation as to time.
The pair have just reached Paris on
their return, after successfully ac-
complishing their undertaking and
winning their bet. They have trav-
ersed Euroupe, America, Africa and
Australia, living on nothing but the
meager profits of the vicomte's brush.

Air All Linens. Often.

Linens should be given a thorough
airing every now and then-most
thorough of all, Of course, just after
they have come upstairs from the
laundress.
Plenty of light and air, as well as
soap and water, are necessary to
keep them In spotless condition, for
what occult reason only some one
wise in the laws of physics can tell.
But the results will tell their own
tale-airings are the best preventives
of "freckles,' and mold and mildew.

The advice given the farmers, if
advice must be given them, is that
they should put in plenty of corn
to teed their stock and fatten hogs,
plenty of sorghum or other fodder
for the cattle and horses and sheep,
plenty of vegetables to help along
during the year, plenty of potatoes
to supply the family for the year
and some to sell plant other things
in plenty, raise poultry and then
plant the rest in cotton. For il the
crib and the larder are full enough
to last the entire year, with chick
ems and other things running
around the premises, the cotton
crop will bring good price. For
the price of cotton is not solely de-
pendent on the size of the cotton
crop but largely on the ability Of
the man who raises it to hold it till
he gets the right price. Without
ability to hold the crop, the short
est one of them will be gobbled up
at low price by the buyers in the
worlds market. Dallas News.

CULTURAL METHOD.

DR.. Knapp, special agent of the
government in charge of Farmers
Cooperative Work, has issued a
circular to the cotton farmers, in
which he urges the necessity of a
change in the system of farming
heretofore practiced in the boil
weevil region. He gives it as his
conviction that il what is known
as the cultural method had been
adopted in Texas last fall very few
'weevils would have been found 10
that state this year. Briefly stated,
the governments plan consists in
destroying the cotton stalks in the
fall, getting cotton land into good
tillable condition by fall blowing,
planting an early maturing variety
of cotton, using reasonable amount
of fertilizer where lands are poor
and cultivating the crop thoroughly
and frequently in order to produce
a crop early in the season. Prof.
Knapp emphasizes the great i'm
portance Of fall blowing, and places
to the credit of such work the fol
lowing points:
l. 1t aerates the land and pre-
pares plant food.
2. The termination Of the seed
at the next planting is better
plants are more vigorous and the
crop greatly benefited.
3. 1t destroys weeds and in
sects. Both will be injurious to
the future crop.
4. 1t advances the work Of the
farm, lengthens the working sea-
son and enables the farmer to plant
promptly at the right time.

Not every boy can be a rich man
or a great man, but avery boy can
be gentleman. A boy with gen.
tlemanly manners, who is trusty
and honest and does his very best
every day, will gain the attention
and confidence of men will be given
paying and responsible positions
as soon as he is old enough to fill
them. Boys like to have fun and
a good time. 1t is right they
should. They will never be boys
but once, but to have fun is not al
together what they are made for.
Boys are of value chiefly to make
men of. Character is what makes
boys, as well IA men, good for
something in the world. Char
acter, like II house must have the
right kind of Il foundation. The
foundation stones of good char
acter are reverence for God, re-
spect and obedience to parents de-
ference for old people. A boy who
calls his mother the "old woman"
or his father "the governor" is
building upon the sand. Do You
want to be power among men7 to

temper, to master yourself. a boy
who does not control his tongue
and his temper will never become
a master Of men. Do not initiate
the vices of fast young men, think

not swear; no gentleman swears.
No good girl, and you do not want
to have anything to do with
any other, respects a boy who
swears. Do you want to be healthy
and strongi to be a man that your

Never, never touch liquor or to-
bacco; shun them both as you
would a venomous snake or dead
ly poison. Be prompt at meal
time and at school. Don't eat in

your food, pigs do both. Don't
put your elbows on the table or

Don't slam doors, nor talk loud as
