THE EXPERIENCE OF A POULTRY
DEALER.

Only in recent years has poultry
keeping taken a place among recogniz-
ed industries. Many Of the successful
poultry men of today were not experts
when they began, but had to learn by
experience.
I'm regard to Sloan's Liniment fol
poultry diseases" writes E. r. Spauld-
ing, of Jaffrey, N. H., "a disease callet
rOup is one of the greatest drawbacks
in raising poultry. 1t is somewhat
similar to distemper in horse. After
trying and experimenting with about
everything recommended. 1 found thai
Sloan's Liniment was the speediest and
surest remedy for roup, and l can es-
pecially recommend it for canker ir

a Happy Solution.

There had been a long-standing
difference of opinion in the Plunkett
family concerning the dining table.
Mrs Plunkett maintained that its legs
were too short and ought to be length
ened at least half an inch.
1T doesn't fit our chairs, Jared, and
you know it," she contended. When
we sit down to this table were too
high above it. You could have pieces
of wood glued on the ends Of the legs.
That would be easier than to saw off
the ends of all the chairlegs."
# don't agree with your PROPOSE
ton at all, Cordelia," said Mr.. Punk
ett. Il think the table is just right.
But I'm willing to compromise the
mutter You have been wanting a
hardwood floor in the dining room for
long time, haven't you?"
Yes"
We'll. we can have that kind of
hardwood flooring that is laid on top
of the old floor. That will raise the
entire surface three-eighths of an inch
or more, and that will raise the table,
of course. just 50 much. How will
that do?"
This seemed to be a fair proposition
and without a moments hesitation
Mrs. Plunkett accepted it as a salts
factory compromise.-Yout Com

The Noise of One Hired.

Jacob H. Schiff, on the way to
Egypt on the Caronia, was criticising
in the smoking room the tenor sing
ing of a young man who gave, all by
himself, a little musicale every night
after dinner.
with a voice like that" said Mr..
Schiff, "one is apt to meet with extra
the hymns and responses with fer
ordinary experiences.
"I have a friend with voice like
that, young broker. For his Christ
mas holidays my friend made a little
tour of New England, visiting many
quaint old houses. many picturesque
churches.
"One Sunday he went to church in
Salem or Gloucester or some such
place and lifted up his tenor voice in
fervor and force that made the congre-
cation stare.
pleased with the attention he at
tracted, my friend threw back his
head, puffed out his chest, and, aban-
doning the last vestige of restraint,
sang with all his might and main. A
high note was approaching. He COL
lected his powers to meet it. They
were staring now-well, he would give
them something to stare for. What
q glorious thing this congregational
singing was! He must have more of
it every Sunday on his return to New
York.
"A heavy hand fell on his shoulder.
He turned with a start and saw the
sexton, an old, bent man, glowering
at him.
Here. young feller, hold your
noise!' said the sexton in a wheezy
whisper, audible all over the building.
We pay people to do that here -

life histories of the seven sisters.
When the clerk had at length writ

Now, look here, young man. I'm a
busy woman and you've kept me here
half an hour answering your questions
before your bank would cOndescend
to take my money. Now I'll ask you
a few. How many times has the
president of this bank failed to be in

The clerk dropped his pen. dumb

How many times has he been in

The bank clerk still stared in amaze
ment.
How long is it since the last cash
ier absconded? Here the woman
flung her questions so rapidly that the
clerk could not get in a word edge

The inquisitor paused a moment for
breath, and the clerk pulled himself
together. Madam, assure you,. our
cashier is a Sunday school superin-

Millions gained in any way nearly
always cost too much, but what the
millions made dishonesty cost the
men who make them God only

cheaply. But they cannot under

to understand 1t. For. In mildel
