Now, 1t was the custom in those
parts to gather themselves together on
the fourth day Of the seventh month
and to make much noise, and go on a
picnic and have a high old time. Ac-
cordingly James Dunstan Dasho arose
about, the first watch of the morning,
and went into an inner court Of his
house, where slept his sons and his
daughters and his bird dog. And when
he found them slumbering he cried:
ARISE, We young coyotes! This is
the Fourth, and man must needs get
up early and chase himself, lest the
night come and find him sober and UNI
mutilated."
50 they all got busy. And James and
his sons straightway yoked up his
mules and attached them to the
springless wagon. And they all got
in and went a long journey into a far
country, where there was a lake no
larger than d mans hand. And with
them also was a small key which
contained neither niolasses nor nails.

Milk in the Udder.

There are four compartments in the
udder Of a COW. One would naturally
suppose that the milk in n would
have the same richness as the milk in
the other. Whether this is so would
require a great many experiments to
determine. Some German investi-
gators have been looking up the mat
ter and have made analyses of the milk
of Is cows. 1t is found that the hind
quarters yielded more than the fore
quarters, and that the two quarters
on the right side Of the COW yielded
more than on the left. Marked differ
ences were observed in the compost
ton of the milk of, the same milking,
but there was no consistency in Its rich
ness from milking to milking. If the
hind quarters produced a richer milk
than the fore quarters at n milking,
the case was frequently reversed at
the next.

Pitied Pitcoe.

A man who had started with q
friend on a weeks automobile tour
stayed away two weeks. When finally
they got back to town, he went home,
and his wife received him coldly,
What he dreaded was a scolding and
an upbraiding. 81 am so glad to be
back with you here, DEAR" he said;
but I pity Pitcoe. Poor old Pitcoe?'

Near the close of what had been a
delightful June day, in the memorable
year of IT'S, two children were seated
at an upper window Of a two-story
frame house on a quiet street in Phil
adelphia. They were brother and sis
ter, Johnny and Prudence Phillips,
children of Capt. Phillips. then with
Gen. Washington at Valley Forge, and
the topic of their conversation was the
all-prevailing one of the war.
Il met the big grenadier again to-
day." suddenly exclaimed the boy.
"He was taking a stroll along the river
front, and did not have his musket.
When he saw mt he cried: Here we
are again, boys!' and then l had a long
talk with him about many things"
"Of course he told you when the
troops are going away" smiled Pru-
dence. 81 have no doubt you asked
him."
"Of course I asked him! There is
no harm in that, I'm sure. He told
mi that he did not know anything
about the rumored evacuation--that
would have to ask Gen. Howe; and
from the way he smiled as he said
this, l knew he thought his general
would tell the SOL of Capt. Phillips
nothing. But Toby has promised to
find out for us, you know; but, really,
l can't see how he is to obtain the
secret"

Master Walters" said Prudence, sober
