When you hear of a gossip you
naturally think of woman; but
IT statistics were possible, it
would be discovered that the ma
jority of the gossips belong to
the tothermost sex, says the
Brown County World. Every
town is literally supplied with
be whispered gossipS who are
happiest when relating with en-
belliShments the sickening de-
tails of family scandals, and they
are the cause of a good deal of
trouble in the world Some of
the institutions of the old days
were not so bad, after all; long
ago, the rude forefathers of the
hamlet had the ducking stool
and the pillory, the latter for
gossiping gentlemen In all
probability if the male gossip
were confined to the pillory for
half a day while the people he
maligned pelted him with hen
fruit and dead cats, he would
experience a change of heart and
take his tongue out of training
Today there is no imprisonment
for the gossip, but the terrorS of
the law confront the pedestrian
who inadvertently expectorates
upon the sidewalk or commits
some other comparative innocent
NffenSe.

In looking back over today you
will recall many annoyances.
Your back ached, your shoes
pinched, someone hurt your feel
ings; you lost money when you
expected to make it, or friend
turned you down You hope to-
morrow will be better. but when
tomorrow and other tomorrows
have come and gone, you will
look back upon the present as
the best days of your life. What
a roseate hue time throws over
the past. Perhaps you are seeing
your best days now, but looking
at them from such a near view
you will not believe it.-Atchison

A tramp raped at the door of
a farm house in Cloud county
and demanded admittance. The
lady of the house was alone and
closed the door in his face When
the fellow insisted on coming in,
the woman got a revolver and
fired through the door-and then
promptly tainted. They had to
telephone to town after the doc

When God gives man wife

when He gives him a society wo-

Not every boy can be a great
man, or a rich man, but every
boy can be a gentleman. A boy
with gentlemanly manners who
is honest and trusty and does his
very best every day, will gain
the confidence and attention of
men and will be given paying po-
sitions as soon as he is old enough
to fill them. Boys like to have
fun, and it is right they should,
for they will never be boys but
once, but to have fun is not alto
gether what they are made for.
Boys are of value chiefly to
make men, good for something
in this world. Character like a
house must have the right kind
of foundation, and stones of a
good character are reverence for
God, respect and obedience to
parents, reverence for old peo-

Chickens Without A Brooder.
Mrs. S. T. LamOreaux,
Wa-Keeney, Kans.
written for Farmers Mail and Breeze

My cOOpS are made out of
large dry goods boxes. I make
a hover by taclxing strips of old
flannel onto a framework of lath
and fastening it in one corner of
the coop. The floor of coop is
covered with a thick layer of
wheat chaff
When the chicks are several
days old, if the weather is not
/ too cold, [ fill a jug with hot
water. slip a cover over it, place
it in the coop near the hover,
sprinkle some dry feed and grit
over the chaff, then put so or 90
little chickens into each coop.
They'll get busy right away,
scratching among the chaff and
thus get the exercise so neces-
sary for their health and rapid
growth
On pleasant days [ let them
run out into a little yard formed
by setting the top box of a wagon
so the door of the coop will open
into it. A coop can be placed at
each end of box, so the chicks
from both coops can use the
same yard. The coops and yard
are moved frequently that the
chicks may have fresh grass to
pick.
l turn them out and give them
free range when they are about
2 weeks old. When the weather
is cold, l do not leave them in
their coopS over night, until they
are at least 2 weeks old but
gather them up and put them
into boxes which are brought in
to the house. After they are 2
weeks old | leave. them in their
coops. Before time for them to
go to roost put jugs of hot water
in the coops and when they are
all in and settled for the night,
throw a large cloth over them,
resting the center of cloth on the
jug. If they seem huddled up
too close together [ pass my
hand in among them and gently
push them toward the edges of
the cloth
L keep an extra coop or two
ready and on cold rainy days
wheE they cannot be turned out,
| take some from each coop and
place in the extra coop, thus Civ
ing them all more room and a
better chance for exercise than
they would have if all were kept
in the same coop. At night they
are put back where they belong.
I make covers for the jugs by
tacking several thickneSSeS of
cloth together, fasten the ends
so as to form a roll just large
enough to slip over the jug. The
jugs with the corks removed are
placed on the kitchen range and
the water heats while / am pre-
pairing breakfast or supper, as
the case may be, then it is the
work of but a moment to slip on
the covers and take them to the
coops where they are wanted.

Western Kansas world., 1908-02-01

If a cough once gets into your
system it acts on every muscle
and fibre of the body and makes
you ache all over. 1t especially
affects the intestineS and makes
you constipated, so in order to
get rid of cold thoroughly and
without delay you should not
take anything that will tend to
constipate. Kennedy's Laxa-
tive Cough Syrup acts upon the
bowels and thereby drives the
cold out of the system. 1t con-
tains no opiates-it is pleasant
to take and is highly recommend
ed for children. Sold by w. w.
