nothing was more incongruous for Or

Among the definite fashions for the
fall and winter season are. longer
sleeves and shorter skirts, with coats
tending towards greater length. In
graceful garments, and especially in
furs, the kimono sleeve is giving place
to what is known as the bat" sleeve,

Although a great many long, tight,

some people they do not suit, and

to be future vogue. The Empire Duff

Though there is no very startling
change to chronicle in the general
fashioning of furs this season, there
are any number of distinctive details

MISTAKE IN BUILDING.
Poultry House Should Not Be Too
Wide-A Case in Point.

tearing down an apparently good
poultry house. The house was built
on the style of a semi-monitor top
house (the kind that looks like a shed
facing a shed, the front shed being
lower than the back, which, as ordi.
narily built, has two or more windows
across the top). The house in ques-
ton had no windows in the back part,
however, the owner thinking that a
row of windows across the entire
front Of the first pen gave light enough
to the back. The house dimensions
were 30x40 feet. 1t was built double
originally to save floor space, but after
several years trial, says Wallace's
Farmer, the owner found it cheaper to
tear down the house, leaving only a
single house, than to continue winter
ing his hens in it, for the following
reasons: A house 80 feet wide is too
wide to allow the sunlight to pene-
trate to the back walls, as it must If
the fowls are to be in perfect health.
A house of this kind unless well-light-'
ed in both parts of the house by a row
of top windows is hard to ventilate.
If the roof leaks, as it will at times
as the house grows older, the back
part of the house becomes saturated
with dampness and has not sufficient
air and light to dry it thoroughly. A
damp house smells bad, and will en-
courage tuberculosis. With the extra
row of windows conditions would have
been bettered, but this plan of house
is not the best for permanent house.
ing of poultry. It does for temporary
quarters for stock, but should not be
built for the farm flock if best results
are desired, because of the difficulty
of ventilating and lighting.

1907, Little Hubert Ball, aged three years.
 "And Oh, when aweary, may we
 be so blest,
 And sink like the innocent child
 to rest, And feel ourselves clasped to the
 Infinite breast"
 Thus over a happy home the shadow of a little grave has fallen : and as another has said, it is won- derful how long a shadow a little grave can throw.
 This beautiful baby life was so precious, so drought with blessing to his parents that he seemed a flower of paradise permitted to bloom for a brief season by their side, then recalled to its nature skies, leaving the earth road for them dark and lonely indeed.

The funeral services were held at the Odd Fellows cemetery Fri day evening, conducted by Rev. H. T. Raney. Many of the relatives and friends of the sorrowing fami- ly were present, and as they look ed upon the sweet, placid little body in it's casket and surrounded by beautiful and fragrant flowers yet not more beautiful or pure than the little face within-their hearts swelled in sympathy for the bereaved family. But let us not think of Little Hubert as dead, but as living; not as flower that has withered, but as one that transplanted, and touched by a Divine hand, is blooming in richer color and sweeter fragrance than those of earth.

 If the people would assess their property at a full market value, the rates of taxation would be a good advertisement for our county. We doubt, very much, if there is a tract of land in Wood ruff county that is assessed at one half its real value. We know of land in this township that is not assessed at more than one fourth of what 1t can be cashed for, and personal property is being assess ed at still lower margin. Give us the law that will allow a mans property to be sold at its assessed amount and this state of affairs will not be.

Cat Fondled a Rattlesnake

The following story is not told by Rev. Long, Jack London, MT. Roose- welt, or others who have written nature studies, but by Dr. Mcconnell of Tulsa who knows snakes and cats when he sees them.
 Dr. Mcconnell was sitting on his porch when he saw a cat coming up the lawn dragging a rattlesnake about three feet long.
 The eat had the snake by the nape of the neck, if it had such thing, and apparently was experiencing no trouble in "toting" it's load.
 The feline carried his snakeship under the porch, and there, for fifteen min- utes, she lovingly fondled it with her paws. Dr. Mcconnell called the mem bers of Dr. Harrison s family to watch the performance.
 Finally disagreement arose and the serpent was seen to strike wickedly at the cat. Tabby liked this phase of the situation fully as well as the amorous stunts and fought back with zest.
 The snake and the cat kept the duel up for probably five minutes, when the spectators thought it was time to inter- fere, and the snake was kiled.-Tulsa, I. T., dispatch to New York World.
