Bird Was Removed.

4 woman rushed into a fashionable
millinery establishment which she had
left only an hour before with a new
hat that cost her SIS. She had re-
turned to discard the elaborate head.
gear.
why, madam, what is the trouble
with this hat?" the. milliner asked.
What is the matter?" gasped the
purchaser. There is much the mat
ter. Why, 1 would not wear that
again until that bird with the big wing
is removed or set in a different posi-
ton"
but that is the STYLE" said the mil
liner.
"Style or no style it has got to CO.
said the purchaser. 81 will Eve wear
that hat until | can go about without
the wings of birds sticking in the eyes
of men, and especially horrid men like
the horrid one that told me that 'one
bird in the bush is worth two in a
hat"
The bird in the hat was removed.

Around the fireside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and
grown-ups can play with their wits and
see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive a little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive a box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
grape and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
together and those beginning with E to
come under e, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A. e,
and other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you, for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con-
festants will tie with others. In such
.ases a prize identical in value and
haracter with that offered in that
lass shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape

They were talking about instinct In

greediness and cunning by a horse"
said one of them. "There were two
old dirt wagon horses that had

a wheelbarrow set at the head of the
two horses, who still remained in the
traces. The horses were to eat out of

"Old Mr.. Bay Horse, who evidently
was a veteran in the dirt wagon line
and possessor of a good appetite,
would grab a mouthful of oats and
splutter them out on the ground on
his side of the w~heelbarrow. After
he had collected quite a pile on the
ground he commenced on the common
stock, and when he and his compan-

They attacked cattle and live stock
and would drive them frantic. At n
place a farmer was burning brush In
the field, and I noticed a dozen COW

smoke made by the burning brush.
They would move around as the wind
shifted, always keeping in the smoke

could live. And the animals stood

Seedtlme and Harvest.

AS Ger his furrowed fields, which lie
Beneath a coldly dropping sky,
Yet chill with Winters melted snow,
The husbandman goes forth to SOW;
Thus, Freedom, on the bitter blast
The ventures of thy seed we cast,
And trust to warmer sun and rain
To swell the germ, and fill the grain.
Who calls thy glorious service hard?
Who deems 1t not its own reward?
Who, for it's trials, counts it less
A cause of praise and thankfulness?
It may not be our lot to WELD
The sickle in the ripened field;
Nor ours to hear, on summer ewes,
The reaper's song among the sheaves;
Yet where our duty's task is wrought
In unison with Gods great thought,
The near and future blend in one,
And whatso'er is willed is donei

one Smith to Be Remembered.

John S. Wise of Virginia said of
Fitzhugh Lee when the latter was run
ming for governor of that state that
he V would have been heard of
had he been named Smith instead of
Lee. The general in his campaign
speeches combated that idea and
pointed out that a great many noted
men had borne the name of Smith.
One day he was addressing a large
crowd and as usual spoke of great
citizens who had worn the despised
cognomen. An inebriated citizen
waited until the orator had finished
his list. Then he rose and said with
tipsy gravity: Say (hic), gent, don't
