THE FOOL AND THE WISE MAN
A Little Story With Any Moral You
Choose To Put To 1t.

Once upon a time, a Fool started out
on journey. At first be was very
happy and sang merrily as he skipped
along, rejoicing with the birds and
butter files that flew among the flowers
that bordered the way. Much to his
surprise as he journeyed farther and
farther, the flowers and trees gave way
to rocks and thorns, the bre, zes were
no longer cooling, and the sun beat
down mercilessly upon him. The Fool
Was hungry, thirsty, and tired. The
suaIp sUoues cut his feet and he Was
very miserable.
AS he Was plodding along with hang
iIg head be heard welcome sound of
falling water. and turning his head TO
see whence it came, be saw not far
from the road a spacious garden full
OF trees and fountains. He turned
from the hard path, and going to the
gate of the garden pressed bis face
against the bars and peered in. Seat
si in the midst Of the garden, upon q
mar BILE bench was beautiful woman,
who beckoned with her hand, and call
ed to him, bidding him enter.
The weary Fool placed his hand up
| on the latch and was about to obey
her summons, when Wise Man ap
psared upon the road, who called to
the Fool and said, Friend. do you
know where you are going?" The
Fool replied that he did not, whereupon
the w ise Man spoke as follows; That
igarden, which you are about to enter,
is the home of the Beautiful Woman
whom you see seated upon the bench
Her name il Sin. She offers you rest
and refreshment. If you enter, she
will show you pleasures Of which you
lhave never dreamed. but beware, al
she will take your soul rs payment fol
her services"
Now his soul was something that th'

NEW YORK MAN BUILDS
GREATEST INCUBATOR
Wonderful Matching Machine That Does
the Work Of One Thousand Hens.

Inc W OTk VI UU6 ! IHUuSduu O0hos
The largest incubator in the world,
with a capacity Of Is, 900 eggs, has just
been completed by W. P. Hall, OF
Penn broke, N. Y. 1t Is 102 feet long
and feet inches wide. Partitions
divide it into 100 compartments, each
accommodating two trays. The trays
have wire bottoms and held seventy
five eggs each. To fill the incubator
single time with common-not thor
oughbred-egss would require an ex'
penditure of $6 900, for eggs of the re-
ouisite freshness would cost forty cents
dozen. As one hen covers fifteen
eggs for Matching, the incubator does
the work of one thousand fowls, or
has the capacity OF one hen sitting
constantly for nearly ten years.
The incub bator Is heated by means OF
= cell of eight steam pipes passing over
the top of the egg cnamber on ono side
and returning on the other. These
pipes are connected, at one end OF the
structure, to a water tank and heater.
The water flowing through the pipes
is heated to exactly the right empsra-
ture, a thermostat attached to the
stove opening and closing the draughts
to make this possible. The only at
tention required by tho heater 10 sup
plying it with coal night and morning.
The thermostat is an expansion tank,
10 by IS inches. which stands over the
heater. The tank is filled with oil. in
which is float. As the heat OF the
furnace warns the water, the water
in the jacket surrounding the heater
expands, and the float in the oil rises.
This movement closes a Throttle at
tached to the tiat-arm, and shuts the
draft Of the heater; ano ther lever at the
same time opens the cold air draft Of
tho furnace. In this way the tempera-
ture is regulated automatically, with
extremely little variation, the eggs be
ing kept at lO2 degrees Farenheit.
A second novel feature is that the
heat of the eggs is regulated in raising
or lowering them in the egg chamber.
which is nearly a foot high inside, bur-
lap separating it from the pipes. The
egg trays rest on double frames hing
ed by galvanized arms or levers. As
the chicks develop the trays are lower
ed on these supports. the first drop be-
ing made in six days. and others at in.
tervals, until. on the twenty first day.
the trays are resting on the bottoms Of
the chambers. All infertile eggs are
tested out on the seventh day.
Mr.. Hill built small incubators at
first, but the oil bill for forty OF his
small incu bators. with 8, 600 eggs Ca
pacity. was $3.50 for a season, while a
large incubator was run three months
at an expense OF less than S. for coal.

Special Invitation Extended Their Citi-
zens to be Present on Jamestown Day.

Norfolk, Va, April 17.-On the 18th
day of May. 1907, ON the waters of
Hampton Roads and on Its shores in
Norfolk county. the three hundredth
Anniversary of the first permanent set
tlement of English speaking people in
America will be memorialized by the
jamestown Exposition.
This date will be Jamestown Day.
There were Spanish settlers in Amer
lea before Jamestown, and the French
had established some villages along
the Canadian coast, but the palisades
on Powhatans River which were
named after the reigning monarch of
England formed the first village in
the western world where English was
spoken.
The descendants of the original set
tiers are scattered throughout the Uni
ted States.
Recently when the Daughter of the
American Revolution visited James.
town Island, it was found that not less
than fifteen visiting members Of the
society traced their ancestry directly
to some inhabitant of Jamestown.
The Exposition management have
discovered many Jamestowns and
have invited them to participate in
the celebration on the 18th day of
May.
Recently it has been suggested that
inhabitants Of other Jamestowns and
descendants of past inha bitants should
be included in the general invitation,
and, ramifying this thought, take in
the people of all the cities named after
James the First.
The Postal Guide of the United States
gives Jamestown in the following
States: Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Colorado. Georgia, Illinois, Indiana.
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michigan, Missouri, New York. North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio. Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island. Tennessee and
Wisconsin, besides Virginia's settle
ment.
Three of these alnestOwns are cOun-
ty seats; one the capital Of Russell
county, Kentucky; another of Stuts-
man county, North Dakota; and the
third of Fentresss county. Tennessee.
Jamestown, New Y ork, is the largest
OF the cOterie twith a population of
about %, 600; Virginia is the smallest,
having only ten inhabitants.
There are seven postoffices called
James. three Jamesburgs, one James
City, one James Creek, one James Is
land, two Jamesports, one James River,
one James Store, five Jamesvilles.
Both Of the transports are fairly
sizeable places and three of the James
villes have money order stations and
are places of considerable consequence.
Twenty-Five States have within their
borders one or more towns named af-
ter James the First, who, if he could
return to earth. would probably per-
petrate some wonderful epigram on the
su bject, since while living be was
known as 1.-THE wisest fool in Christen-
DOM
