Johnny was a city boy, and knew
very little about the country One
summer he went to visit some cousins
who lived on farm. He started out
for 4 walk one morning, and was
crossing little field behind the house
when his heart suddenly seemed to

straight up into his throat and stick
there!
He was being chased by a mad
bull
Johnny had read stories about mad
bulls He ran--mercy me how he ran
His feet just fairly flew over each
other until he got to a tree, and he
went up so fast II made his head

A BIT OF SHOPPING.
BY stuart 8. Stone.

When young Mrs. Palmer went
forth 10 buy Friday specials ami rem
nants OF things. she invariably had
her husband to accompany her. Pal
mer did not like TO go and always had
some futile excuse about a lame an
kle, business engagement or The
double-header with Chicago. But just
as invariably the excuse was declared
invalid and poor Palmer walked Tor
three hours through the fashion marts
carrying dozens OF packages and pray
ing that his friends might not see.
Consequently Mrs. Palmer was al
most shocked when her husband calm
ly announced at the breakfast table
that she must go shopping with him.
Mrs. Palmer's curiosity was arous-
ed and 1t required very little effort
TO induce her TO make the trip.
The first place where they stopped
was the Owl cigar store. II want a
dozen cigar boxes" announced Pal
mer.
When the clerk brought the boxes
tied into cumbrous bundle. Palmer
handed them To his wife. You may
carry these, please, dear he said.
The next stop was at the Queen de-
partment store. Palmer made for the
toilet.gooGs counter. Il want to look
at some soap" he directed.
What kind of soapg asked the
salesgirl.
Every kind you have, please. an
swered Palmer.
The girl stacked % kinds upon The
glass case.
Il see three more kinds behind the
counter" indicated Palmer. Bring
those out, too. please"
Wonderingly, the young lady plac
ed the three additional brands upon
the counter, while Palmer eagerly
| fumbled and messed them about. Mrs
Palmer looked at him as If he were
/ insane.
What is the price of the scent
kinds?" asked Palmer.
Five cents" informed the girl.
Not on Friday surely, objected
Palmer. do you mind my biting one
OF the cakes?"
The girl giggled
Il don't think any of these will do
said Palmer. You see / want a tint
that will match my right little finger
With that he raced madly over 10
the grocery department and purchas
ed 8 boxes OF matches, which, by lib
eral tipping, he succeeded In having
wrapped into Is separate packages.
Il believe you're crazy" declared
pretty Mrs. Palmer,
"Oh, no, indeed" denied Palmer

general thing. Ii is possible and desir-
able In the average family to save ex-
pense where IL may be done without
serious loss.
I'wish TO say right here that the
housewife Is not always to blame for
buying the higher priced meats. as We
often hear this said What shall /
do? My husband will not eat stews
OF any kind, or made-oyer or chopped
meat dishes
Wishing 10 please her husband. she
can only buy chops, steaks and roasts.
which, after buying these. leaves only
a small portion of her allowance fot
other necessities.
With wise buying and careful cook
ing il is possible to change the hus-
bands taste. Perhaps If stews were
more tasty they would like them.
At any rate, the one who does the
marketing must have some intelligent
knowledge OF how To 60 TO market and
buy meat which is not interior in
quality but cheaper in price. This
practical knowledge of marketing on
the part OF the housewife affects 20
a marked degree both the comfort and
expense book OF the family. lnteli-
gence and skill In buying are only Sc
cured by careful practice. and the
purchaser must not be afraid to ask
questions or show her ignorance when
necessary Most men in the markets
will be found courteous and helpful
II YOU will only let your wants be
known. II your meals are planned
ahead-and they should be-more than
n single days orders may be purchaser
ahead. This saves time ard energy.
Know How to Cook
With the buying you must know how
10 cook these cuts. This would mean

they could be taught how to get the
most meat value from the very cheap
est meat they buy. II is not how
much or little we can live on. but how

Origin of Old Glory.

In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Cover is found story of the origin Of
the stars and stripes.
The 'star spangled banner Of the
American republic had it's origin from
an old brass on the floor Of an ancient
church Ia Nofthamptonshire. The brass
covers the tomb of one Robert Wash
ington and is dated 1922 On it ap
pears the Washington coat Of arms
consisting Of three stars, with bars OF
stripes beneath them. On the first day
Of the new year, 1776, the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard al
Washfngton's headquarters
This introduced the stripes OF the
present, but retained the crosses Of St
George and st. Andrew on a blue
ground in the corner In 1777 the
crosses were replaced by stars. as the
Declaration of Independence rendered
the retention Of the English element
unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus
adopting the arms of his ancestors as
his own distinctive badge Washington
no doubt intended the flag merely as a
private signal for his own personal fol-
lowing, but it was at once adopted as
national emblem. Probably there Ia
not another case in the worlds history
in which the private arms Of an OBJ
scure family have attained such world
wide eminence and repute.
