WHEN WILD ANIMALS LOSE FEAR

The fear wild animals have of man

Contagious.

An artist whose summers, spent
in out of the way places, have
brought, him a rich reward OF ex-
perience as well as of success tells
many stories of the unlimited guests
who have gathered about his easel
on different occasions.
In one little Connecticut village
freckled faced boy appeared as il
by magic at his side one morning
and gazed at the artist and at the
picture then in progress with an
'intentness which was almost discon-
certing.
'Did. you ever try to paint?" the
artist asked him at last, and he was
startled at the sudden illumination
of the sober little face.
81 kin paint some," announced
the boy, with certainty. "My fa-
ther could paint, and l ketched it
from him. But he's dead now, and

some from you, mistcr."-Youth's

Tending the Shrubbery.

People often imagine that q
shrubbery or bed of shrubs, once
planted, will go on of itself for
good. In fact, a shrubbery which
may appear neat, tidy and cared for
to the last degree may also be very
much neglected. In the course OF a
little time the stronger and more
pushing plants will have completely
overgrown and ousted the more del
icate ones. The lady of the garden
wonders why the pretty guelder
rose and brilliant diervilla have dis
appeared, the answer being simply
that some great hearty laurel has
deprived them of light and air and
f"1d till the struggle has been too
hard for them. The careful gardsp-
er is therefore continually watchf6
fof the well being of these more
tender and beautiful plants.-Lon-
don Taller.

the people who are thus robbed

THE DRuMMER's ERROR.
Il Turned q Cry Into Laugh and
Spelled the Scene.


It might have happened over on
Staten Island. Anyhow, it occurred
in Greater New York and at stock
company house. The company put
on ar uproarious farce one week,
during the course of which the lead
ing lady made several burlesque
falls. In order to accentuate the
comedy of these the stage manager
directed the drummer in the or
chestra to give the bass drum a re-
sounding whack every time the lead
ing lady fell to the stage. He fol-
lowed instructions faithfully atsev-
ery fall except one at the opening
performance. The ssege manager
was furious. After the show ne
had heart to heart talk with the
drummer in his dressing room.
"That was the place where the
boom would have got the biggest
laugh, and you let it pass!" he roar
ed.
The drummer scratched his Teu-
tonic head. "Vell, it LOGGED serious
dere," be answered. ;, ;, ;,
~No, that's burlesque," said the
manager. 'eNow, every time you
see her fall don't think anything
but just wallop that drum. See"
aChess," said the drummer, and
at every performance thereafter the
boom Of the drum never failed.
The following week the bill wa
asapho." The leading lady tool
her part seriously and. studied grea'
effects in business for the "bit
scene" at the close of the third ac'
when Jean leaves her. 1t would b
her great personal triumph, SIT
thought, and truly her work was !
triumph, and the audience though
so, too, as the play proceeded. No
an eve in the house was dry whel
the leading lady threw he,se,
against the door through Whlcl
Jean had just passed with his an
grv farewell. Her form shook wit
sobs, and the very atmosphere wa
tense with emotion. Slowly sh
staggered from the door, then, WIT
a great cry Of agony, threw up he
hands and as the curtain descende
fell prone to the floor while burl
boom came from the bass drum.
Tears fled from the eyes OF IN
audience, the roar Of applause wa
stopped as it began, and only laugh
ter, wild and long, went up at "a
pho's agony to the accompanmen
of bass drum, while on the stas
the leading lady bit a great pee
out of The Hoor rug and hoarsely dt
manded to be led to that drumme
that she might wall0w in his gore

To those who do not care to
sell their seed for cash we are
offering strictly high grade
meal inexchange. Our rate of
exchange at the mills 1900 lbs.
of meal for one ton of seed. 1t
is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of. each 1856
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 1000 pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition Of meal, it is safe. to
assume that 300 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
of cotton seed, therefore, what
ever excess above 500 pounds of
meal the.farmer gets in exchange
for a ton of seed is so much clear
profit to him in comparison with
using the ton of seed directly as .
a fertilizer. You can readily see
that by exchanging your seed
with us you realize nearly 100
per cent on the transaction.
Bring your seed to us and not
make the mistake of getting
inferior meal elsewhere in ex-
change.
