1t was at meeting of ST. Louis

smoking came up. The mothers were
taking time by the forelock, if it was the
interest of their sons they had in mind.
As a rule they discussed the best types

They were taking time by the "fetlock,"

In preference to a box of candy any

"Shocking!" all the mothers calculated
IN one breath. They had heard of swell
ladies In Spain-and New York for that
matter-who enjoyed their after-dinner
cigarette; but the suggestion of big
black cigar in the mouth of dainty lit
tie st. Louis woman was altogether alb
horrent.
Don't get excited" she said, her
bright face one mass of little wrinkles of
amusement. "The idea is this: / ent the

been plunged into humiliating oblivion

Arthur sounds well enough; but when
it fades into "Artie' at tender age

The Girls ~ caddo

Caddo has some real live girls. A
tenderfoot struck this town yesterday
and proceeded to accumulate an over.
stocked cargo of gayety. He selected
for his SUBJECTS a couple of girls with
quite as fervid an appreciation of fun
as he had himself. Stimulating anger
because of his advances, they took
after him and chased him across back
lots through a Mexican's tamale
patch and the last seen of him he
Jumped over wagonyard fence and
fell. He arose, and when he faced
his pursuers fell on his knees and
his prayer was: MY God. you don't

After having succeeded in landing
her son on the Wilden's front porch
and claiming Grace down to entertain

the seventh heaven. They were so ex-
actly suited to each other in her esti-
nation that she could not conceive it
possible for them not to see it them
selves and fall In love. 1t was simply
one of the things that were going to
be, and she did not worry. The fact
that they sat and glared at each other
and relapsed into sulky monosyllables

mercifully spared Mrs. Fulworth. She

According to her lights, everything
was going beautifully if she only could
bring Clarence and Grace within the

felt that Grace might show n trife

And you took the cigar in prefer
ence!" one of the mothers asked, her
countenance dimpling with amusement.
We'll, that was where you made your
first serious mistake. You should have
insisted on his smoking the pipe. Mind
you, not "a pipe, but that very one that
the negro janitor had used. That would
have cured him in less than n week, es-
pecially if you had pretended to like it."
well, am thankful to say there is
no duplicity in me. If l don't like n
thing, am honest enough to say so,
and in no uncertain language" the lady
replied, and she seemed to gather her
robes of righteousness about her lank
form. II put up with the cigars simply
because my husband is too selfish to re-
spect my wishes; but l never, for one
instant, gave him to understand that
approved"
You should have done as l did," an
other lean lady suggested. 81 told my
husband that if he insisted upon smok-
ing, he would have to go to the barn
to do it, and l made things SO warm
for him that now there is no question
about it. He picks himself up after
dinner and goes to the barn for his
smoke"
"Did you ever go out to the barn and
find him in the society of some more
humane lady?' the dimpled one asked
.Find some other s.cnan smoking
with him in the barn." the austere wife
screamed. I'D fix them both if ever
caught them. Who is she? Did you
ever see herr"
~ never saw any such person; but l
should think man who was not allowed
to smoke. or do any other reasonable
thing in his own house, in the presence
of his own wife, would find some other
woman to help him enjoy his after-din-
ner cigar"
That was bomb, hurled squarely into
the enemy's camp. In an instant the
Mothers Club was divided into smoke
phobes and smokophiles. After that they
did not mince words.

Through forest vast and sweet,
Whose shadowy glades / know no more
Because it is under my feet.
When was, oh, SO much smaller
And 80 much nearer the floor
The leagues of the carpet prairie!
The flowers that scattered it DER!
The house-what boundless kingdom.
What mysteries came and went!
Each chair was a wayside bowlder,
Each table spreading tent!
The lamps were moons hung in heaven
And the big folks giant high;
Away up on fathers shoulder,
could reach clear into the sky!
I am glad am coming up taller
We can't stay close to the ground
Yet 1 think-oh! often and often
OF the wonderful things l found;
OF the hills and the pleasant valleys;
OF the byways, memory sweet
The land that left behind me,
When grew away from my feet.

RAISE SOME SHEEP.


There is perhaps no farm animal
less known and appreciated by the
average farmer than the sheep, and
still there is scarcely farm where
some sheep could not be kept at a
good profit. Keeping sheep on small
farm means that the land must be
fenced, otherwise it is not a practi-
cal proposition, says Successful Farm
Ing. For that reason the majority of
renters are not in a position to avail
themselves of the services of a flock.
While 1t is true that sheep cannot be
raised to advantage on low and poorly
drained land still there are few farms
where a flock of lambs could not be
kept during the fall OF the year after
harvest to clean up the shelled grain
and consume a lot of weeds that are
sure to grow. A sheep will eat al
most any kind of weeds and apparent
ly thrive on them, and here is where
their great value lies; it is an animal
that is capable, of converting waste
products on the farm into a source OF
revenue.
Next spring it would be well to
seed some rape in the small grain
as this will produce a large amount
of feed by the time the grain is stack
ed. Rape may also be seeded in the
corn field just before the last cultiva-
tion, then when the proper time ar
rives have bunch of lambs ready,
turn them in the stubble fields and
let them clean up one field at a time,
thus going ahead of the plow. From
these fields they may be turned into
the corn field and into the meadow
and later on be finished for the mar
ket on grain. Oftentimes screenings
may be fed to advantage.
Those who practice buying lambs In
the fall and fesding them in the man
ner outlined declare they seldom fail
to get a good profit out of the invest
ment and besides get their farms
cleared Of weeds. Sheep feeding, es-
pecially where large gain is obtain
ed at practically no cost at all, is not
a hazardous business like cattle feed
ing and most any farmer in fair cir
cumstances can avail himself of the
extra profits as he can always bor-
row enough money on the flock to
make the original purchase. The in
vestmsnt is short one and the pro-
fits are realized in a few months. 1t
is a good way to pay for fencing the
farm. Two or three neighbors could
club together and buy carload at a
time so as to save freight charges.
The lambs may either be purchased
by the farmers themselves or through
commission firms at stock yards. A
farm of 100 acres is usually capable
of supporting 100 lambs in the manner
suggested. Think this matter OYER
and begin to prepare for a flock next
fall.

William Cornell Green is known as
"the largest landowner in America"
His holdings in Arizona and in the
State Of Sonora, Mexico, amount to
about 100000 acres, including some
of the most valuable copper-produclng
land on the continent. 1t was while
raising cattle in Arizona that he be-
came interested in some mines which
Senator Clark, Of Montana, and other
big copper men refused to purchase.
The properties turned out to be enor-
