Meager as was Jenny's salary, one
half of it had paid for the tiny room or
Mrs. Cady's third floor and furnished
Jenny's inadequate supply of food and
clothing. and the other half until the
last two months had gone regularly to
her mother on the little unproductive
Rhode Island farm.
But these last two months had made
a new division in the stipend. Now it
was in three parts, and the third went
to the fourth floor of Mrs. Cady's apart
ment house to a room even more tiny
and bare than her own. She had heard
a low moaning n day, apparently
from the room above, and had gone VI
and tapped anxiously on the door. Sew

heard n feeble step across the floor, and

old face she had ever seen, but, Oh, SO
wan and patient and hopeless.
No, nothing was wanted, the old wo,
man said. She had only lost control Of
herself for a moment; that was all. And
she smiled with pitiful c~heerfulncss as
she closed the door.
But Jenny had seen enough. That
face and one brief glimpse into the
room beyond sent her hurrying down
stairs after Ter own bowl of soup and
bit of bread and butter. And in spite of
the old woman's protests and entreaties
she had literally forced her to eat,
laughing. but u%nyielding and firm. AnG
with the first spoonful of soup there
had come n light into the woman's yes
which made Jenny turn abruptly and
walk to the one small window, choking
back something III her throat. 1t vas

old had been literally starving.

there should be no more question of
hunger. and the old woTnan deprecato-

Woodworking mother on the farm and
less for herself, but Jenny scarcely
thought of these things. Her mother
would have it so, she knew. The old
woman was in greater need than they
ana should be looked after first.
And now had come n promotion, and
with it she would have to leave the
apartment house and board in the fam
lily of her employer. But the old wom-

It has been discovered that soap,

poison to prairie dogs. The discovery
like most other big discoveries, was
made by accident. John F. Braun, .
farmer near Miltonville, Knn., must
be given credit for it. He lad about
100 prairie dogs on hix farm and
started to wipe them out. He used
traps. After he had caught about
thrifty the rest got wise and would
walk around his traps. Among the
thirty was one that the trap didn't
injure and he put II In cage for .
pet.
By mistake the children fed the
prairie dog small piece Of common
soap one day. Within flve minutes
the prairie dog was dead. Mr.. Braun
decided to experiment. He cut . bar
Of soap which cost him 8 cents, into
small pieces, about the sise Of .
haxelnat, and threw few pieces in
to each hole In dog town." The
next day there wasn't . solitary
prairie dog left to tell the story.
All were dead.
He used . brand Of sosp made in
Kansas City. Ten cents worth Of
soap will clear Large farm Of prairie
dogs. The results, as shown by Mr..
Braun, collapsed results from the
dope which the agricultural college
