mad, and they got ready to roast pa;
and guess they would have eaten
him half cooked, If it hadn't been for
the performers and freaks who had
missed their pet dogs, and the circus
hands told them the cann1bals had
just gone to the woods with a mess of
dogs to roast for dog, feast.
Well, they were just getting a fire
around pa, and he was giving the
grand hailing sigh of distress, when
the performers, headed by the fat
woman, whose peeled Mexican dog
was lost in the shuttle, came in
amongst the cannibals, and pa and the
other dogs were rescued, in the
darnedest fight ever saw. The per.
formers just walked right over tho
cannibals, and mauled them with
stakes, and al the dogs that had not
been killed were pulled away from
the heather, and saved. The fat
woman got her dog all right, and
when pa came up from the stake
where they were going to burn him.
and congratulated her on recovering
her dog, she turned on pa and accused
him of being the leading cannibal,
and that he was the one who put up
the whole job to steal the dogs. She
jabbed him with a paras0l, but pa
was innocent.
The Indians got back to the tent
along towards morning, and the can.
nibals went back with us, and we had
to feed them on weiners, which was
the nearest to roast cog we could get
for them at that time of night.
Pa seems to get it in the neck tn
this show, cause everything that goes
| wrong is laid to him, and if anything
goes right, somebody else gets the
credit, and think he would resign il
it was not for his pride. After the
trouble about the Indians and the
cannibals the manager called pa ur
and reprimanded him for INDUCING
the tribes in their wild orgies, and
said we couldn't maintain discipline
as long as pa mixed up with them and
encouraged them in such things.
Pa tried to explain that he was the
victim instead of being the cause Of
the dog roast, but the manager dis
missed pa by telling him not to let il
occur again. Then to show the incon
sistency of the manager. he ordered
pa to go on ahead of the show to New
York, and advertise that the cannibals
in our show would give an exhibition
OF roasting and eating human being
and to offer reward for anybody that
would consent to be roasted and eat
en- in public.
Pa has gone to New York to look
for somebody who will take the posi-
ton OF meat for the cannibals, and he
is instructed to spare no expense t.
find such man. He thinks he may
find somebody connected with thu
Equitable Life insurance scandal, who
has lost all desire to live any longer
and who will gladly go into this "mu
tual" scheme. I don't know.
This circus business is too much fol
me, cause I am losing friends all thu
time. Even the monkeys have got 81
they seem to be ashamed to be seer
talking to me, and when L pass thu

set. When fellow gets so low thai

MAKING THE FARM PAY.
It Can Be Done If the Farmer Is
Thoughtful and Careful
Enough.

Keep the outgoes less than the in
comes. Any Ounce knows that? All
right, but it takes a smart man to do
it: If you do not believe it, try it,
challenges the Farm Journal.
And then, don't make mistake
about what it really means to make
the farm pay. Some folks have Won
derfully queer notions about that.
They think if they can get $1,000 or
$1,000 in the bank, that is all there is
to it. They are quite apt to be mis-
taken. Do you know any poor rich
men? We do. More of them than you
can count. Takes more than money
to make farm pay.
How then shall we be sure that we
are making the farm pay?
Do we have enough to eat three
times day? Are our children all well,
strong and happy? Are we bringing
them up so that they will love us when
we are old, and do all they can to
make the: world happier for their hav-
ing lived in it?
Do the horses, COWS and other dumb
animals on the farm love us? When
we get home from town, is there
dear little woman standing In the door
to greet us? Do the little folks come
running down the walk and reach up
their arms to give us a mighty hug?
is our breath pure and sweet as the
morning dew every time we come from
the village? Is our life clean in every
way? Do our neighbors tell us their
little troubles, and come over to sit up
with us at night when we are not very
well? Are we filling our place just
the best we can, always and every
where?
+ If :hese things are true, the farm
pays, and pays big, whether there is a
dollar in our pockets or not. But there
will be. God has promised it, and Hs
keeps His word. -.

melted ice. The next essential is to
keep all heat out that can be kept

such precautions much heat will CONS

THREE-WIRE GRAPE TRELLlS
An Arrangement Which Greatly Re-
duces the Tendency to Mildew
on the Vines.

A very useful trellis for certain To-
calities where grapes are liable to
mildew is that designed and used by
L. V. Munson, OF Texas, says the
Farm and Home. A picture or it is
shown in the cut. The posts are four
feet high and TO the top of these are
nailed crosspieces two feet long. On
the posts below the crosspiece is
strung wire, and other wires on top
of the crosspieces at each end. This
makes three wires one foot apart The
vine is trained straight up until it
reaches the middle wire and no shoots
are allowed to form between it and
the ground. The vine is tied to this

Memorial to Gen. Gansevoort

Rome, N. Y, is to have fine statue
Of Gen. Peter Gansevoort, who was
in command of Fort Stanwix at it's
siege during the early and troublous
days in the Mohawk, valley. The
statue is to be placed in East park,
because the site Of that old fort which
never surrendered is now private
ground. It is the gift Of Mrs. Abram
Lansing, OF Albany, who is grand
daughter Of Gen. Gansevoorl. II.

BURNING CHARCOAL.
What Is Necessary to Secure an Ex-

Fuel

Wood used In making charcoal must
be quite dry. 1t is better if cut in the
winter and allowed to dry until late sum-
mer before burning. Although almost
any good wood will make some charcoal,
hardwoods will turn out better prod
uct, says the Farm and Home.
Split the blocks about six feet long
into quarters and place in the pile with
the bark side out until dry. The wood
is placed in a conical pile about IL feet
high and 8 to 40>feet Il diameter. 2ouz
