Cracked Furniture.

Ugly marks caused by slIts or
cracked places on furniture are easily
filled in with beeswax and the mark
Is never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blomishes,
First slightly soften the beeswax until
1t Is like putty, then press firmly into
the c%racits, and smooth evenly with a
thin steel knife. OF course a putty
knife Is best for the purpose. but a dull
case knife will do. S%andpaper over
the surrounding wood and work the
dust into tho beeswax. This gives a
wood finish, or color. and when the fur.
niture Is vanished you will look In
vain for the blemishes. Often this de-
feet occurs in the panels Of furniture,
~headboards or beds and tables, so try
this method Of mending and you will
be delighted with the result. 1t is bet.
ter than putty, since putty soon dries,
crumbles and falls out, while beeswax
remains forever just where 1t is
placed.

to try for turkeys, Doc had been
taking lessons from an artist In tur.
key-calling, and by means of scraping
n small cedar box on the barrels Of
his gun, after having previously rub.
bed a quantity of common chalk on
the barrels, he had managed to learn
n call that sounded quite natural to
the uninitiated, even II 1t didn't fool
the turkeys.
But Doc had run across a tur.
key by accident in tho brush, the bird
having been scared up by the dogs
while running q deer, and when II flew
right into Doc" he. bowied II over
as easy ~ he would a quail, 1t was
a fine, big gobbler, and filled Docs"
breast with q desire to get some more
of them.
So In about half an hour the camp
was deserted b. all save the cook.
who roamed about among the tents
and leisurely made his arrangements
for getting supper,
II took us abost two hours to start
u deer, aud when we did. we reused
out two Of them. The dogs trailed
n 10 the cypress swamps and lost
him there, but the other ono WI
turned and drove back towards the
ridges and through the cane, and
old Emory Waite got a shot at him
from behind a blue gum stump and
killed him clean with n single bullet.
by the time we got him dressed and
d horse out TO bring him into camp
through the awful going, II was long
past noon. by the time we reached
camp 1t was two o'clock, and
we laid around and planned a wild.
cat hunt with the dogs the next day
for the sake Of a little variety.
Along about five, when II was get
ting dark rapidly. we saw Doc Sim
mons coming down the trail, headed
for camp. He didn't have any gun
with him but he appeared to be per.
fectly serene about IL. He came up
Just as though nothing had happened,
and says, How soon'll supper be
ready His clothing was pretty bad
ly torn up, as though he had been
wallowing through about a thousand
acres OF green. brier thickets, and he
was a little pale, too.
What's the matter, Doc, said EN-
DRY, anything happen to you? Didn't
