Pieces of pork, beef, mutton and rind

seven inches in places. This should

William Sherring, the young Cana
dian who won the Marathon race at
Athens, gives the credit to his mother,
who. lie SAYS, supervised his training.
She decided what he should eat, and
would not cook anything else When
she was told that he had won, she re-
marked. 'Of course. knew he would.
That is what sent him over for"
This IS very pretty sentiment, re-
marks Youths Companion. but leaves
one in doubt as to what the other
young mems mothers said when told
that they had not won.

Dear Percy: While I am not on the
ground and cannot size up the present
situation with every confidence in my
judgment, l think. it would be wise to
clean up the yards and all the houses,
so as to be ready for any inspectors
or reporters who may ask to be shown
through the plant. l may be wrong,
but probably it wouldn't hurt any
thing if you were to do little clean
ing UP. You can get Thomas Jefferson
Jackson to do a weeks whitewashing.
He can daub up enough fences in that
time ito make the cattle and hog pens
look fairly clean, and possibly he
could finish in time to whiten up the

check fro the editor of the st. James
Gazette in payment for contribution
which he knew nothing about. He
promptly returned the check with

with note from the editor saying
that he had earned 1t and must keep

to have look at this mysterious ar

covered that 1t was on subject about

a vital connection between amiability

mirth and cheerfulness stimulate the

absorbed at the table as at funeral.
In many homes. scarcely word IL
spoken at meals. outside of requests
for an article of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying a mere animal
function. The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig
nal for good time generally. when all
cares should be thrown off and every
body appear at his best. 1t ought to
signalize the time for mirth and laugh.
