A FEW TIMELY DON'TS.
What the Farmer Should Remember
Not to Do.

Don't throw forks farelessly on the
floors OF passageways in barns. That
Is a sort of carelessness that may al
most be classed as criminal.
Don't neglect to keep all wheeled
vehicles we'll creased. A wheel that
cries out for lubricant is a good many
pounds added to the load of your
horse.
Don't throw forks carelessly on the
and other trimmings and refuse from
orchard, garden and truck patch, for
thereby you destroy many harmful
Insects and seeds.
Don't invest any money in gold
mines, coffee plantations, copper
works and the like, thousands of miles
from your home, and managed by
men you have never seen. By taking
this advice you may possibly miss the
opportunity. of getting enormously
rich, but it is altogether likely that by
needing itzyou will save money enough
to buy that piano your daughter has
been wanting or the new buggy you
promised your son if he would stick
to the farm: - ~: 80 g. I: =.
Don't allow any line fence squabble
or any family difference to come up to
spoil your Thanksgiving feast. It is
always q wise rule to think twice. be-
fore you speak once; and it you will
take the precaution to think three
times, you are pretty sure to get
through life without uttering any
harsh words, and that means a serene
and sweet existence which is, after
all, the only thing worth while.
Don't speak in sharp, peremptory
tones to: your children. You. won't al
low the hired man to use such tones
to the horses lest 1t makes them ner-
vous. nor to the COWS lest it interfere
with their: milk production. Your
sons and daughters are of more value
than many horses, or the cattle upon

Bril- A STO WAWA
T0BE WITH HUSBAND.

h: She turned her back: on social tri:
-umphs in Washington and became a
teacher: in the Philippines. It. was
while she was visiting her brother,
Captain :: James Mckinley, on the
Island OF Jolo, that she met Captain
Heidi: 1T was love at frst sight, but
the captain told the girl that she must
postpone the wedding until their re-.
turn to America. And so it was that
the wedding was solemnized at Fort
Des Moines. '
Hardly had the wedding bells been
ruhg when all their plans for honey
moon were spoiled. Captain Heidi re-,
ceiyed orders to go to the Philippines.
Miss Mckinley might have used her
influence to have the order changed,
but she was q soldiers wife and she
did not intend to use the prestige of
her name to influence the war depart,
ment. But she had plans of her own.
Though she remembered her hus.
bands opinion of the Philippines as a
place for women she secretly deter.
mined to accompany him.
Although she brought all the influ.
ence she was able to bear on the war
department to consent to her sailing
on the transport with her husband,
she was unsuccessful. Captain Heidi
accepted the inevitable and his bride
apparently did so also. He kissed her
goodbye on the day of sailing and
hnrri06 ohnQrS thu fro~ -
Seattle to escape breakdown.
An hour before sailing a. dashing
cavalry officer, slight of build, but
with military air, clambered aboard.
Three days later sailors and stokers
shoveling coal from the ships bunk
ers, discovered a bedraggled figure
hidden behind the biggest coal pile.
The figure wore a uniform and was
apparently a stowaway, who was anx.
ious to get to the Philippines. Up on
the deck the unwilling stowaway was
dragged into the presence of the trans.
port captain.
'"Of you go at the first port, Homo
lulu Numbered the captain.
At that moment Captain Heidi came
on deck. He looked at the sorry-look-
ing figure in a captains uniform for a
moment, but the glance was sufficient.
In moment the two were clasped
in a fond embrace.
Said the captain: "She's my wife
and / don't care VINO knows it."
Then the truth came out. Mrs.
Heidi, as soon as she had dotted the
old uniform and was more becomingly
attired in woman's toggery, told her
story. She was still weak from hun
ger, but happy. She confessed then
that when the president had refused
her: permission to accompany her hus-
band. she had determined to go any
way So she stole one of his uniforms.
In the meantime she visited him often
upon the transport, and at every visit
hid away TASKS of water, canned sal
mon, hard hard tack and other delica-
cies. She had just exhausted her sup
ply Of food when discovered.
The: war department has begun an
investigation, 1t is said, to find how
the girl managed to elude the guards
and stow away undetected in the
ships hold. But Mrs. Mckinley Heidi
is happy in her honeymoon, though
she does have to spend it in the Phil
ippines.

injected into holes where the insects
are at work. The best injector is a.
metal or small cheap glass syringe,

teaspoonful Of bisulphide OF carbon is
sufficient for each hole, If injected

IN A LIVELY CLASS BATTLE
Normal Juniors and Freshmen Strug
gle for Supremacy.

Town and school were interested
and amused Wednesday night by a
class fight between the Juniors and
Freshmen, says the Weston Leader.
The struggle lasted throughout the
entire night, almost, aud the yells of
the belligerent classes rang clear and
strong upon the frosty air. Towns
people nearby could scarcely sleep for
the tumult. but nobody was heard to
complain.
On the morning of Thanksgiving
day the Juniors emerged triumphant
from the battle. They had found and
bu, ned the Freshmen flag, and their
own fioated proudly from the top OF
the town flag pole. Having lost one
flag the Juniors put this one out of
reach Of the Freshmen, as they sup
posed, by slipping the pulley rope.
But the Freshmen had trick in
reserve. For several hours Thursday
morning the Juniors flag floated ont
upon the breezes. Finally by means
of long pole thrust out from the roof
of the Marshal House, the Freshmen
succeeded in capturing it. They then
made bonfire of il amid frantic
cheers. dancing about like lot of
Comanches on the warpath.
The goods contributed to this class
warfare. After Tuesday nights re-
ception the Freshman girls locked
the fair Freshmen ont Of the dormitory.
It was cold night, and the latter
would fain have retired to slumber
but wist not the way toward. Finally,
it is said, they secured ladders,
scaled the walls, and clambered in
at the windows.
