largest record for one year was the
enormous yield of 5000 pounds butter
fat-677.3 pounds,s or more than one
third of a ton Of butter This was
worth, at % cents per pound, $14e.
In the same herd is another cow
bearing the unearned title of Queen.
and she has another record-a six
years record Of 1872 pounds butter fat,
or 1T pounds butter per year. While
this is almost fourth better than the
average cow In the United States, yet
Rose produced two and a half times
as much butter fat as Queen for that
long period. And in an exact CON-
parison for one year, Rose made more
than three: times@a much butter fat
as Queen from exactly the same breed,
both in kinds and amount, and with
the same care.

A Faithful Nurse.

Pats wife was very ill and the doc.
tor, who was about to leave the house,
was giving Pat implicit directions as
to the way of giving some medicine
that he was leaving.
Now" he said, as final injunction,
"you must be very careful in giving
the medicine, because it is very dan.
gerous, and an over quantity is liable
to kill her. You must not give her a
particle more than will go on dime
Do you see?" After being satisfied
that Pat understood, he left the house
In a few hours he returned to find
the woman dead. Much astonished, he
asked Pat what sudden change had
taken place. Imagine his : feelings

IN DEFENSE OF THE AMERICAN GIRL
One Of Them Gipes Her Vie.us in the Discussion Con-
corning American Us. British Husbands. =

you, it's because she's amusing herself
at the same time, and usually at your
expense, my friend. OF course, you
don't know it, but you're amused, as
a rule, because, she furnishes you with
q constant series Of surprises.
Your countrymen excuse her orig
inality and the proof she gives you OF
her independence with the plea that
she's just "a little American GIRL" and
that should, of course, cover multi
tude of sins. They are pleased to
patronize her, to let her cakewalk in
their bathrooms and sing coon songs in
their drawing rooms; but what they
don't seem to comprehend is that in
the serious matters of life she pulls
the strings while the men do the dane
ing.
The American man is conscious OF
this, however, and loves her for it. He
neither claims, in supreme masculine
egotism, that he knows her like a
book nor does he hope to conquer her
with a word or the emphasis of his
own superiority. He merely under
stands her better day by day, worships
her to the exclusion of self because
she battles him, and is proud of her
because she belongs to hints his by
all the laws of nature and of mutual
appreciation.
And he wins, MILFORD. Don't deceive
yourself there. He wins invariably
with the girl who knows what is good
for her-and the really clever Ameri-
can damsel usually does. I don't know
who furnished you with the valuable
information that tine American girl
who through choice and of her own vo-
lition marries the American is so
singularly rare that she needs be
publicly commended for her noble
act," but, my word for it, it must have
been an Englishman. No other in
formant would have been so sweeping
