poration's own bonds took $29,651, 914

OF the corporation that has any basis in
tangible values. After paying the stip-

have committed the folly of paying a

would have seriously embarrassed its .

A Rejected Claim.

An insurance broker got request a
few days ago for an immediate call
upon one of his wealthy women GUS
toners.

want you to make my claim at once
1t is very imperative and is embarrass-
ing to me until it is settled. You see,
my false teeth-such beautiful set
they cost me $25-I laid them on the
dining table. My servant girl. sc
careless, picked up some papers, my
teeth among them, and tossed all into
the fire. And such lovely teeth, and
I'd had them so long they just had
become set to my palate perfectly and
were worth to me twice what they
cost, so think you ought to get me
$50 for them.'

Steerino a Bio Ship,

The work of steering big ship, even
with the aid of all it's machinery, is
much more delicate than one would
imagine. The larger and faster the
ship the greater the difficulty. 1t Is not
enough to hold the wheel in the same
position to keep the ship on her course,
for the wind and waves and the cur
rents of the ocean tend constantly to
knock her off, The great wall of steel
offers a broad target for the wind and
the waves. The art in steering is to
adapt the ship to these forces and
when she is DETECTED to bring her back
quickly to her course. If you could
watch the pinnacle, especially in bad
weather, you would see the needle Of
the compass constantly shifting from
side to side, which means that the
great steel Prov is not going forward
in a perfectly straight line.-Chicago

Penalties of Being a Bachelor.

The ancient Romans were severe
with their bachelors. who were made
to pay heavy fines, and, worse than
that, Camillus, after the siege of Veil,
is recorded to have compelled them to
marry the widows of the soldiers who
had fallen in war. In the time Of
Augustus married men were preferred
for public Office. The Romans who
had three children were exempted
from personal taxes. and the bachelors
had to pay them. Plato condemned
single men to fine. and at Sparta
they were driven at certain times to
the temple of Hercules by the wo-
men, who castigated them in true mil
itary style. In the French settlements
Of Canada women were sent over after
the men, and the single men, that they
might be forced to marry, were sub
jected to heavy tax and to restric
tons on their business and their move.

Arabic Numerals.

There is widespread misapprehen-
sion about the figures that we use as
numerals, says the Chicago News.
They are not Arabic, as is generally
believed, but are the first ten letters,
with two exceptions, of the Egyptian
alphabet. They are found on the mum
ny bandages almost Identical in form,
with the exception of and s, with the
figures now in common use. The true
Arabic numerals are totally unlike.
The figures we use appeared for the
first time in Europe in 1910. Alphon-
SO, son Of Ferdinand, king of CASTLE,
ordered table to be prepared and
employed for the purpose Isaac Ha-
zan, a Jew singer of the synagogue of
Toledo, and Aben Ragel, an Arabian,

ures were first given.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Hunt the SIipper.

The players seat themselves in cir.
Gle on the floor. having chosen one of
their number to remain outside the cir
Gle. The children seated on the floor
are supposed to be cobblers. and the
one outside is the customer who has
brought his shoe to be mended He
hands it to one of them, saying:
Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe;
Get it done by half past two.
The cobblers pass the shoe round to
each other as quickly as they can, TAX
ing care that the customer does not see
which of them has it. When the Gus
toner comes to get it he is told that it
is not ready He pretends to get angry
and says he will take it as it is. He
must then try to find it, and the cob
bier who has it must try to pass it to
his neighbor without it's being seen by
the customer. The one upon whom the
shoe is found must become the Gus
toner, while the customer takes his
place in the circle on the floor

The best method of killing poultry is
to dislocate the necks. and once the
knack is acquired it is simple meth
cd. The legs are held in one hand ana
the birds neck is taken in the other,
and by quick movement this Is
elongated so that it is quite dislocated.
After this a sharp penknife is inserted
through the roof of the mouth to allow
the blood to pass away freely. 1t is
best to pluck Immediately.

Wild Tribe of Poets.

Among the wild tribes to be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos.
the most picturesque people in the
tropics. Their origin is unknown and
all sorts of opinions have been ex-
pressed concerning them. One tale
told of them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians and
that the dislike for the practical which
is always noticeable among them has
come down through the generations.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given song or a
poem to learn they will study and
dream over it for hours, but give the
Bogobo problem in arithmetic and

The full dress life wanes in this
country. Those who came before us
and had the necessary disposition and
means, in their manners, conversation
and dress, led, from birth to death,
this full dress life. and even in their
last moments endeavored to close the
term of their existence with fun dress
behavior and a full dress epigram.
The notes OF restraint, dignity and eff
fort in this direction are seldom sound

Keep the Hoqpen Clean.

Filth breeds disease in the hogpen
the same as in the poultry lot. If dirt
and trash are allowed to accumulate,
disease is sure to be the result. When
there is an outbreak of disease one of
the very first things to do is to clean
things in general. The small hogpen
should be cleaned out every week The
pigs cannot remain healthy if they
have to eat their feed in their own
filth When the weather is dry scrape
the trash together with scoop and
throw it out of the pen. Nothing is
lost by occasionally giving the pen a
sweeping with a coarse broom. This
should especially be done if the pigs
ar expensive full bloods.-Chicago In

The Woodland Feast.

Young gray squirrel stopped to think:
What do like best to eat and drink?
Now is the season of nuts galore
But other dainties are held in store.
Down in the woods are mushrooms sweet.
Tender and ready for me to eat;
There are spicy berries of partridge vine
And the frost touched grapes have taste
that's fine,
And here. just over the orchard wall,
Grows a pear with a seed that is tooth
some, though small
All of these things are ready for me-"

cheer'
And for mel! chirped the catbird
"And met called the grouse.
And for mel" came the voice of the lit
tie wood mouse.
And Sir Fox listened with nod and
smile
And said, "All for me in a little while"
