tu12y~ight, by Shortstory Pub. Coz
The miserable-looking creature
must have fallen asleep as he sat by
the mile stone on the edge of the road.
Culberson, in fact, did not see him
until he uncoiled his slim figure and
rose like a specter above the low
tangle of vine and bramble. The
sound of Culberson's footsteps must
have startled him greatly, for as soon
as he gained his feet he fell again upon
his knees, his hands lifted in mute ap-
peal
Scarcely more than half clad in
shreds and patches, he looked the
image of adversely The attire pro-
claimed the tramp, yet surely the
meekest of the rowing fraternity, and
the face-sun- burnt, thickly bearded,
full of dust and grime-had yet
scholarly cast. 1t was pinched and
pathetic, and the tears and the wofully
hungry look proved irresistible to Cul-
berson, who put his hand in the back
pocket where he carried his loose
coin.
AS though that hand had touched
spring somewhere in the tramp, he
made most extraordinary movement
"a movement that raised him at once
in his observers esteem to the rank
of an unrivaled mime
1t was a movement of the head
glancing backward, sidewise and for
ward again-swiftly and eagerly, while
the body and limbs, meanwhile, re-
mained completely at rest. Only the
head moved, but that seemed to turn
around a dozen times in as many Sec
Onds, twirling like ball on we'll
oiled socket.
The performance would have aston
ished its beholder, even in side show,
and on a quiet country road it was
more than astonishing. Culberson
stepped back a few PAGES and caught
his breath. He had seen an owl

THE eventful night came-the night
of nights. My wife's kinsfo-k, of
course, were always with us. A chosen
for the occasion. But the artist didn't
arrive. However, that was simply his
wayne was always late. But when
an hour passed, two hours, an1 he
was still absent, l was much an
noyed l felt that he had forfeited the
privilege for which he had stipula' ed
as l could not keep the invited
guests waiting all night in ignorance
of the delayed surprise.
$50, dropping a hint of what was co
come, led the way into the-yes, the
fatal-chamber, drew the drape, y from
der that stood beside it, and prepared
to uncover the picture. Not for years
had | appeared more fully myself My
eyes and toned by long
practice to act independently, almost
with contrariety, in watching the
trajectory of flying ornament or cal
culating the angle of incidence of g
bursting vase-had never seemed more
unanimous or more obedient to my
will. AS l stood on the top step Of
that library ladder, 1 felt myself com
plete master of the situation.
Il clipped the threads, beginning a
the top, and gradually revealed he
beauties of Bradford's Juno.
Il can't conceive of such anothe1
glad chirping cry of surprise as Wen
up when the picture was but half il
sight. But it was as nothing to h
yell that arose, or the scene that FOL
lowed, when the burlap cover dropped
to the carpet. The artist had EN-
ployed his cOnsummate skill-he ha(
surpassed himself-in the drawing ant
coloring of the figure, from the dia
demed hair to the gem-encircled girdl'
but there the figure ended-endel il
something worse than deformity-fo
the neither limbs were clad not in h,
drapery of a godd SIS, not in Grecial
raiment at all, but in ordinary, every
day, masculine trousers even il
pants sand conspicuous pair, of th'
very pattern l most affected!
You know, there's one thing a
least, that a married woman can mere
be told-a truth that's a jest every
where except at home-and when
great artist tells it in a bold way, b
telling of it stings sharper than a sci
pent's tooth.
Excuse me. | was saying that from
the picture | looked below VIA
facec! What a glare of eyes. A
then what a bedlam! Every hir
swan before me and around me- |
was some dis ance to the foor-per
haps that alone was sufficient to &C
count for the fracture of the skul
which kept me for many days in
hosrita lowering bctween life an,
,eath. Perhaps
However, as soon as | could craw
1nce more, | escaped from the nurs 2
nd drowsy watchers, and went fort
ato the world and the night And "
ince followed obscure paths, as "a
S possible. Years have gone by, bu
emory endures, and the horror of ii
nd the dread of a similar ingloriou
cmmeling

well have chosen him. He was ex-

mark in that. He was uncommonly &C.

to the point of grotesqueness, but his
great gifts none could deny.
Il retained my liking for him for 20
years, during which my wife lost moth

was to be her home companion in my

intended to discourage the practice of kicking the ball across the line on a windy day, thus forcing the defenders to punt out in the face of strong wind, making it possible to take a fair catch and free chance at a goal.
 The forward pass has not been tink- srsd materially, the principal change be- ing i'll the way of designating the play CTS who may receive the ball This season a man must be clearly one yard back of the neutral zone or at the end of the scrimmage line before he can take part ln the play.
 Also the rule regarding an effort to put the defense off side by false motions has been amended to include the center himself. The center has often been used to coax a five-yard penalty out of the officials by coaching him to make some move with his arms which would bring the opponents across the scrim, mage line before the ball was passed.

This astonished MT. Brown, and he be- gan to ask questions. A farmer with two big cans of cream in the tonneau of his automobile explained that he used the car as matter of economy.
 My place is thirteen miles out" he said. ''I have to go to town every other day with cream and to do my trading Before bought an automobile it took a day for myself and team of horses to make the trip. Now I am in town i'll forty-f1ve minutes from the time leave. can get back in time to do a day s work and have fresh team.
 Before the farmers began to use au- tomobiles, there were bad places in the road between my place and town. In rainy weather loaded wagon coRldn t be hauled through them with a single team-it had to be draSged out by doub- ling up. Now, with automobiles in use, these bad places are fixed up as soon as they devslop-even if they have to put plank bridges across. So heavy hauling has been made easier.'
 According to the fairly recent census. Clarinda, Iowa, is town of S,O24 popu. lation. There are in use in the United States about 22O,OO0 automobiles. Ob- viously, Clarinda has more than her share. Also, it seems obvious that other farming communities will discover their economic value.-Collier'

FOOTBALL SEASON NEAR
Guidebook, Just Issued, Shows the
 Changes Made in Game.

Guidebook, Just Issued, Shows the
 Changes Made in Game.
 Fall is at hand. The football guide is out. It shows few changes in the rules that governed the game last year. Those who control the destinies of the game have been content to olarify the existing rules and have made few actual changes. The phraseology has been al- tered in many cases where last year's s rules were ambiguous.
 The field goal hereafter will count only three points instead of four. This change will meet with the approval of all professional coaches except those who depend for their team strength on one man with highly educated toe. It was to protect otherwise stronger teams against the weak teams with the strong kickers that this rule was passed.
 It is expected this change will make the field goal play less popular. Here after two goals from the field will not be superior to a hard learned touchdown and goal from touchdown. The board when it makes this rule had no desire to en- courage the old concentration of attack, but simply wanted to let the teams win or lose on their merits.
 Last fall it was mandatory for the de- lending side after a touchback to punt out from inside the 25-yard line. In the future it will be optional with the de lending side to punt out or put the bal in play by 8 scrimmage. This rule is

 The third method of dealing with the liquor traffic is prohibition or no license. Here hear a chorus of objections. One says, "No-license interiors with ones personal liberty" I take physical exer. oises every day, but if I stood within thret feet of one of you men and began them and smashed your nose, I would quickly learn that my personal liberty  to do even the harmless thing of taking exercise ends where your nose begins.
 So the liquor business InterfereS with the other fellow, and the law steps in and protects him.
 "There is more drunkenness under no license than license" How can 6 sane man believe this? The liquor men themselves don't believe it. Their frantic efforts to defeat no-license proves this. But there are plenty of good people whom they succeed in getting to believe it.

The bill does not apply to seeds which were sold for this year's crop. as the supplies Of seeds were in stock before the measure was enact ed, but does include those anered for sale for sowing purposes after July l. Steps are being taken to equip a seed laboratory where samples gathered by inspectors and sent in may be analysed The chief requirements of the new law are that persons selling or exposing seeds for sale shall at- tach a label showing the napLe of the person or firm responsible for the sale of the seeds: also the name of the kind of seed offered. 1t prohibits the sale of seeds containing the seeds of quack grass, SOW thistle, Canada this tie and dodder, and demands that varieties of seeds shall be reasonably true to name. The new law does not interfere with seeds fin transit or with seeds being sold for food, manufac- ture or cleaning. Uncleaned seeds offered for sowing purposes must be plainly Lbeled 'uncleaned," sc that the buyer will know just what he is getting.

A Wisconsin poultryman recon mends placing chickens afflicted with gapes in barrel in which a quantity of slacked lime has been scattered, his contention being that. in its efforts to fly out, the chicken will stir up and breathe in enough lime dust to kill the gape worms, which may then be sneezed out. Care should be used that the chickens treated do not get too much lime, and the remedy should not be used with chicks less than half grown.

Once ill a while there is an orchard which is too thrifty to bear fruit, the case being analogous to the farm ami nal which gets so fat that it will not breed satisfactorily. This difficulty with the orchard may be helped some by removing mulch if there is any. blowing the orchard and growing some crop which will remove surplus moist ure and energy from the soil. Another way of toning the trees down is to prune heavily or to remove narrow strips of bark running parallel with the trunk. This last expedient should only be tried as a last resort and then only by one whs understands the job and will not overdo it.
