KATIE'
Well, Katie, you have asked us
aquosClon' that we know to be
tact. Some years ago we told
girl she could not hit tree about
six feet in front of her with rock.
She doubted our assertion and of.
fsred to prove it by throwing the
rock. We were young, then, and
in' experienced, 80 we got behind
her. After going through soma
celisthenic EXERCISES, she turned
loose the rock. The result was,
we now carry Il email hole in the
back Of our head, the place where
the rock hiJ. But to answer your
question. The reason, in all prob.
ability, is. that while most girls
cau talk about dozen things at
the came time, few can think OF
two things at once; therefore she
cannot keep her mind on tho OBJ
jet thrown and the object aimed
at. But if a woman can't throw q
rock, she can throw man over as
quick as the next one.
"Will you tell me how to set a
hon? EvANGELINE"
Certainly we will, Evangeline.
BY the way. your name sounds ia.
miliar;;" we Lust have heard it
somewhere. But you didn't say
what kind of q hen. Some hens,
you know, have moro sense than
others. We once had an old hen
that once sat for three months on q
china door knob without any vis.
lble result SO far as Matching out
any little knobs was concerned,
and we think she would still bo
trying to hatch that knob If she
hadn't frozen to death. The way
to set a hen is to set her on abont
12 or II eggs. This years eggs are
best. Don't run the hen off the
Lest every fifteen minutes to see If
the eggs are hatched, but give her
about three weeks, and if the
weather is warm enough, your
eggs fresh, and the hen attends
strictly to business, she will very,
likely hatch some of the eggs.
"Wnll you tell me if it is easy to
fall in love? 1 am ii years old,
nnl think am in love.
SUSIE"
Well, Susie, you have certainly
came to II sleeps house to get wool.
Yes, for some peop.e, its easier
than Slipping down on banana
peeling, and it hurts about as bad
sometimes. When we were quite
young we used to fall in love on
an average Of abont once a mon tn;
now the average is greater. But
unfortunately, love is like the
easles-the older the subject the
more severe the case. But you
have started early, Susie, 80 we
advise you to 60 slow. The man
you "think" you are in love with
will probably be a grandfather b..
tore you are old enough to marry.
But don't lot this discourage you,
for you will "thlnk" you are in love
about two hundred and thirty.fve
times before you really are. Just
try and get your head, not your
heart, full, and when your time
for falling in love comes you will
know it, and not "think."

along smoothly with mother-in"
law? WILLIE"
That depends, Willie, my boy;
or, at least I suppose you, are q
boy, for girl wouldn't ask such q
question. say, that depends upon
what kind of q man you are, and
what kind Of a mother-in~law you
get. There are several kinds of
mothersin n-law, but any are nec.
essary evil to some men. If you
arc sober, industrious young man
and~,can secure a good -naturod
mother.in.]uw, by all means get
one; yes, get two. But if you are
one Of the sort who likes to "paint
the town red," and who five nights
