Chair Hitchind.

"The chair hitcher," says a business
man, "is the greatest nuisance that an
office man is compelled to endure.
1.-THE hitcher is always deeply inter-
ested in the matter he has come to
talk over, and the more he talks the
closer he draws his chair, and with
every additional point he makes he
gives his chair another bunch in your
direction, and by the time he has fair
ly entered on his subject he has his
feet on the rounds Of your chair, his
elbow on your desk and is dropping
the ashes from his cigar on your coat
sleeve. 1t would be just as easy for
him to make his speech or preach his
sermon three or four feet away, but
he never learns that fact and damages
his own cause by dragging his chair
over your carpet and putting his breath
in your face.
II know one Office man in town who
got so tired Of having cigar ashes on
his clothes and smoke poured into his
face that he called a carpenter, took
the rollers Off one chair, placed it in
a convenient position at the end of his
desk, then had the man nail It to the
floor. But it didn't do a particle of
good. The first hitcher that came in
was a big, strong 200 FOUNDER, who
began his talk and, growing earnest,
just pulled the chair up by the roots.

noticed that anything was wrong

can be raised from very few to begin
with. II one does not care for eggs
later than the summer months the
ducks may be picked. the feathers be-
ing a source of considerable profit,
whether kept for ones own use or sold.
but the ducks must not be picked dur
ing the period eggs are wanted.
While ducks will usually commence
to lay in February, it is not advisa-
BILE to begin Matching too soon. Damp
ness is more fatal to young ducks than
anything else, and early in the spring
1t requires considerably more work to
look after them than later on, after the
weather becomes more settled. For the
reason that they make better mothers
and bear the necessary confinement
better than ducks it is best to hatch
the first brood under hens. Fear keeps
them confined until the ducks are well
fedged. There need be but little, II
any, loss, and after the ducklings get
well started to feathering they are
quite hardy and can be turned out to
look out for themselves. If given good
care for the first ten days, there are
few fowls that can be raised with less
trouble.

Of rainfall during the winter the

the ground will freeze during the win

path Of the coming cyclone came a
rafting farm wagon, driven by old
Mrs. Clark, who was as deaf as post
The girl covered her eyes and scream
ed. There were wild yell. the sound
Of splintered wood and a terrific grind

When Margaret looked again the
wagon alone was in the road. The au-
tomobile, turned on its side, lay against
the shattered fence. In the field beyond
lay two huddled figures.
In a moment the girl was running in
that direction with all the speed she
could summon. AS she reached the
scene Of the accident one of the two
figures scrambled Imply to his feet
The other painfully propped itself
upon an elbow. Then she saw that the
man who stood erect was the doctor.
Even as she came running into the
field she heard Graham's voice, rather
faint, 1T is true, but perfectly calm.
How badly are you hurt, doc" it
inquired.
"Only a Bit" was the response, "a
few bruises and scratch or two"
"Then get up to the Copley place as
fast as you can"
But you?" the doctor demurred.
'T'm all right. Never mind me. I'll
be fresh as lark when you get back.
Hurry on now"
Margaret ran to his side and, kneel-
ing down, began to wipe the blood
from his face. Already the doctor was
making hurried examination, while
Graham fumed and fretted and babe

BY Jove, the way he swung that car
out of the way was magnificent. Never
a thought for himself nor me either,
I'm convinced" he ended.
He pulled roll of bandages from his
case and handed them to the girl. "Just
do up his head and stop the flow of
blood as best you can. If you will. Miss
West" he commanded. I'll go up to
Copley's and fix Tim up. Then III
come back here and set Grahams frac-

He went limping up the road. and
the girl bent closer to Graham.

A STIRRING MES SAGE.

President Roosevelt last week submit
ted to Congress one Of the most remark
able aoruments ever given ont by a cine
executive Of this republic. 1t is spec
Ial mes age dealing os'ensibly with the
employers liability act, interstate com
merce laws, the abuse Of the injunction,
the regulation of trusts and railroad cor
porations. In reality 1t is defense OF
the administrations course, ~ denial OF
responsibility for the recent banking
troubles, n demand for aid in the presi.
dents tisht against the trusts and saw
ago attack upon as well as complete
defiance of John u. Rockefeller and the
whole Standard Oil system.
The presidents attitude is made plain
in the following excerpts from his nes-
sage:
"The methods by which the Standard
Oil peop'e and those engaged in the other
combinations OF which | have spoken
above have achieved great fortunes can
only be justified by the advocacy Of a
system OF morality which would also
Justify every form of criminali.y on the
part OF labor union, and every form Of
violence, corruption and fraud. from
murder to bribery and ballot box stuff
ing in politics.
IL do not believe that the actions OF
this administration have BROUGHT on
business distress. So far as this is due
to local and not worldwide causes. and
70 the actions OF any particular indi
viduals, it issdue tosthe speculative
folly and dasrant dishonesty OF few
men of great wealth. who seek To shield
Themselves from The etf, cts OF their own
wrongdoing. But ii it were true that TO
cut out rottenness from the body polite
meant q mpmeutary hull to an unhealthy
seeming prosperity, could. not for one
moment hesitate to put the knife to cor.
ruption. On behalf OF all our people. on
behalf no less OF the honest man OF means
than the honest man who earns each
days livelihood oy that days sweat Of
his brow, il is necessary to Insist upon
honesty in business and politics alike. in
all walks Of life, in big things and little
things, upon just and fair dealing AS be
tween man and man.
