GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE.
Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

There was a travelling man." said
the night operator, whose wife pre-.
sented him with a son while he was
out drumming up trade. The doctor
got the mans address, and, since his
wife was doing none too well, wrote
out a message giving him the news
and telling him to return.
"The doctor gave the message to
the cook, who couldn't read. She
forgot to send it, and the next day the
drummer came home Of his own &C.
cord.
"He stayed a day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing, as it hap
pened, was said about the forgotten
telegram.
"And at the end of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation Of horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the Office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got 1t that hight he was terrified.
What he read was this:
Another %addition-a son; your
wife very i'll; return at once
"He took the midnight train for
home. He was like a man in a trance.
Another? he kept muttering in a
dazed voice. 'Impossible!'
"On getting home he was so reliev-
ed when everything was explained to
him that he decided not to fire the
cook, after all"

B~URNT-cLAY ROADS.
Experiment Being Tried by AgricuI.
tural Department.

The public roads Office of the United
States department Of agriculture Is ex.
p~erimenting with a novel method of
making roads. The experiments have
SO far been confined to the clay or
"gumbo" roads in Mississippi, and the
experiments are altogether new. The
roadway selected for treatment is
graded to an even width between
bitches and then plowed as deeply as
possible. Burrows are then dug across
the road from ditch to ditch, four feet
apart. Cordwood is then placed in
the ridges thus formed, the plowed
clay Is laid thereon in layers, care be.
ing taken to provide fues in order that
the wood will readily burn and bake
the clay. When the firing is completed
the treated clay is rolled and com.
pacted to eight inches in thickness.
The clay has been changed by the
burning into clinkers, which compact
into a solid roadbed, which will not
form mud. The cost Of such road in
a country where wood sells at $1.3O a
cord was $1,478 per mile, and while the
wearing qualities Of the road have not
been ascertained, it is believed that 1t
will wear as well as other made roads.
In many sections, says Farm Journal.
the drawback would doubtless be in
the difficulty in obtaining wood. Per.
haps petroleum might be introduced
as a substitute.

FARM IMPLEMENTS.
A Large Investment That Should Be
Well Looked After.

If you have not gathered up, clean
ed and properly housed your farm
ing implements, and protected them
from rust and weather, do so at once,
before the SHOWS and rains come on.
The total amount Of the farmers in
vestment in machinery is necessarily
large, and it is the part of prudence
for him to take good care of it. In
a machine shop or factory, every piece
of machinery is in use day after day.
The farmer is obliged to buy and
keep in repair a dozen machines
which he has use for only a few days
out Of the year. He runs his moving
machine perhaps two weeks altogeth-
err; his binder half that time, and
his hay tedder perhaps not three days
all told. The wheat and corr drills
come in for only a few days use, and
the potato planter and digger for no
longer period. During the remainder
of the year it is necessary to care for
and properly house these machines in
order to keep them in good condition.
A few years ago an ingenious Yam
kee invented what is called a uni
versal Tool" consisting of a hollow
handle with a screw top and holding
a chisel, screw-driver, gimlet, tack
puller and many other small handy
tools which may be clamped in the
small end Of the handle as needed,
Perhaps, says the Farm Journal, an
equally ingenious person will some
day. invent a universal machine"
which, by an exchange of parts and
attachments, may serve the combined
purposes which now make necessary
many implements. Such an inven-
ton would prove a great benefaction
to agriculture.

WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.
Spread Rapidly Over Body-Llmbs
and Arms Had to Be Bandaged-
Marvellous Cure by C~uticura.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years Of age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around US, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said 1t was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. I had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was just dreadful. A friend
leased me to try C%uticura, and ! be-
gan to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; and in six months he was
well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont,

Green Manure for Wheat.

For an economical and cheap fer.
tilizer for wheat there is nothing, in
my opinion, equal to a crop Of cow
peas plowed under In the green state
late In the fall just before the heavy
frosts come to injure the foliage. The
cowpea as q fertilizer gives almost as
good results on a crop Of wheat as
stable manure, but the effects are not
SO lasting in the soil for future crops.
A piece Of land where cowpeas have
been turned over in the fall, topped
with q good dressing in the winter
makes an ideal piece Of land on which
to grow q good crop Of fine potatoes.

DIsobedlence Brought Death.

An Italian prince had strictly for

but SO great a hold had the habit OBJ
tanned over her that she secretly en-
gagged in the practice at every oppor-
tunity. One day she was INDUCING in
a cigarette as she reclined on a bal
cony attired in a dress of the lightest
muslin. Suddenly her father appeared
on the scene. In the hurry to hide the
evidence of her disobedience the
princess placed her hand with the
burning cigarette behind her back.
The result was startling and tragic

RATTLE OF THE RIvETER.
The Mar from Oklahoma Thought II
Was a Woodpecker.

Charley's uncle from Oklahoma was
up town being shown the sights, he
having come in the day before with
a few loads of steers, and Charley was
doing the honors.
They were walking along on Grand
avenue discussing the tail buildings,
when all Of a sudden n of those
racl1ety riveting machines began ham
mering away at high speed on a top
story of a steel s%kyscraper building.
The old man stopped as If he'd run
against something. He turned his eyes
in the direction Of the sound but
could make out nothing. When he
turned to his bewildered nephew his
eyes were fairly popping.
Great Scott" he exclaimed. But
I'd like to see that woodpecker. 1t
must be a whopper."-Kansas City

MINK.

Artificial milk is sometimes heard Of
but seldom seen. In Europe such milks
are being sold In some localities in a
small way. These contain no real milk
ingredients. An examination Of one
kind sold In Germany showed It to be
q mixture Of syrup and sesame oil
emulsifed with some proteid sub
stance. This was to be diluted with
nine parts Of water before being used.
The chief demand for such artificial
milk is said to be In bakeries. For
cooking purposes It is possible that
ONE Of these substitutes might prove
useful, but why call them artificial
milk?
