The meaning of it all came to him,
with the force of a blow. Mechanic
ally he brushed away the insects that
gathered about the wound in the
birds back. He stroked the soi.ed
plumage tenderly. He found himself
calculating the hours that the grouse
had lain there suffering. 1t had hap
pened Wednesday and this was Sun
day--twenty-four, seventy-two, about
ninety hours; yes, fully ninety. What
cruel stretch of torture! The youth
recalled an occasion when he had had
toothache for two hours that had
seemed interminable; and the mean
ing ofthat ninet hours of pain came
home to him yet more wildly. In
an agony of remorse he knelt there,
thinking, thinking. He closed his
eyes; and when he opened them a
few minutes later, the grouse had
ceased to breathe.
.'The youth rose suddenly and walk.
ed to the verge of the cornfield. He
selected spot in fence corner, and
began to dig hole. The ground was
hard, and he had nothing but his
knife and piece of stick to aid
him; but he persevered the more
stubbornly as his fingers became sore
from digging. When the grave was
deep enough, the youth went after the
body of the grouse and took it up
very tenderly, as If so much of suf-
fering had given 1t sacredness. He
laid the poor thing carefully in the
ground, smoothing its every feather.
Then he resolutely scooped in the dirt
till the grave was filled.
1T was a thoughtful youth who
walked slowly homeward across the
fields that autumn day. He was ask.
ing himself what right he had to in
flict such suffering as that. What
manner of friend to the birds was he
that could wish only tto kill them?
What pleasure could he get in future
in shooting always with the posi-
bility of reenacting the tragedy of the
cornfeld?
Long before he reached home the
youth had made up his mind. He knew
that he should never shoot his gun
again. He had entered new phase
Of life. The desire to kill was no
longer. strong within him The in-
stinct Nof the hunter had left him for
ever. "LCalifornia News.

Child's Dress.

This simple little frock has a great
many advantages to recommend it.
1t Is dainty and attractive and child
ish in effect. yet it is very easily made
and easily Numbered. The front and
back panels are cut in one piece each,
but at the sides the pleated skirt and
body portion are joined beneath the
belt. If the Dutch neck is not liked
the dress can be cut high and finished
with standing collar, and the sleeves
can be extended to the wrists. In the
illustration rose colored linen is en-
broidered with white, and colored
linens so treated are essentially smart
this season.
The dress is made with front and
back panels, the side portions Of the
body and the skirt, which are pleated
and jointed to the body and to the
front and back panels below the belt.
The sleeves are just comfortably full,
and whatever their length are gath

Stale Of MARYLAND
FIGHT WITH OFFERS.

Snow Hill.-Stewart Purnell and
Thomas Martin. two colored men OF
this town, who have been cutting
wood in the dense swamp along the
Pocomoke River. in the vicinity Of
Porters Bridge, had narrow escape
from being killed by offers. There
is no doubt that they received the
greatest scare of their lives, and
both declare they will not venture
in that vicinity again unless they go
heavily armed.
The attack occurred in dense
place, and it was impossible to put
up an effective fight, as the vicious
animals had the advantage of being
able to attack from points of van
tage not possessed by man. Pnr.
nell and Martin had not been at
work long, but had entered. the
swamp several rods. When they
first approached the place they heard
peculiar noises, but attributed them
to a stray hog or wild duck. They
continued their work, unconscious of
their danger, until seven large OF
tiers attacked them in the densest
part of the underground. They tried
to retreat to their boat, but were
cut off by the largest and fiercest
of the seven offers, which. Purnell
says, got so close that he could see
right into his eyes. 1t was some
time before the men could reach
their boat, andN even then the ami
mails continued the fight. following
the boat until it reached deep wa
ter, but managed to keep out of reach
Of the mems oars.
The men declare some of the OF.
tiers were five or six feet long and
that they heard more of them back
in the swamp. The place where the
attack occurred is well known as
the haunt of offers, and each year
several are killed for their valuable
fur, but they have never been known
to attack people before, although
they have been known to kill dogs.

Automobile MIX Wagons Plentiful
Among the Dairymen Out West.
There was dairyman's convention
recently that brought to Chicago milk
producers from the i've States i'm.
mediately tributary to the great Ell.
gin and Wisconsin creamery districts.
OF those attending 112 were asked as
to the use and value Of the automo-
bile to them.
Thirty-eight of them own automo.
biles and use them constantly in BUSH
ness Eleven own more than one, ac-
cording to Golfers They are used
in marketing butter fats mainly, but
several utilized the power to oper-
ate separators, one to flush his dairy
barn, another to operate his bottle
washer.
The roads in the creamery district
are better than the average country
roads, and the automobile most used
is late type. with a tonneau that
can be removed, leaving a fiat plat
form for freight. But that is not all.
Lastly, yet perhaps as important rs
anything, is the effect already felt
and increasing constantly of the in
fiuence of the farmers who own auto
mobiles upon the character of the
roads.
Reports from nineteen agricultural
schools, covering practically the en-
tire country, prove the interest of
farmers in good roads is increased
and increasing greatly because OF the
automobile.

woMAN's TRAVELS in PERSIA.
Ten Days Ride at Hard Gallop on q
Gun CARRIAGE,

Gun carriage.
In times of peril in Persia the medi-
cal missions have proved to be the
safest places not only for Europeans
but also for the Persians themselves.
Emmeline Stuart, niece of the veteran
Bishop Stuart, had remarkable
story to tell other own experiences
when preparing to leave the country.
The only escort available through
the disturbed country from Ispahan to
Teheran was offered to her by the
military authorities, and she accepted
it, to find that it entailed travelling
on a gun carriage harnessed six in
hand and that for ten days double
stages were effected at hard gal
lop, while the shelter of the car
riage formed her canopy at night.
DIR. Stuart testified to the unfail.
ing courtesy and kindness of the
Officers to the traveller placed in their
charge and treasured the committee
as to the absolute safety Of the mis-
sionaries during this period of unrest
by saying that the mission compound
at Ispahan was one of the safest
places in the city. In fact members
of the families Of officers OF the
Shah have in the last few months re-
sorted to 1t as an asylum. Mall

and put it in a stewpan. fry gently
for 10 or Is minutes. in the mean.
time cut the meat in small pieces
and season well with salt and pep
per, and then sprinkle over 1t tive
tablespoons Of -four. Cut the vege-
tables in very small pieces and put
in the pot with the fat. Fry them
five minutes, stirring well to pre-
vent burning. Now put in the meat
and move it about in the pot until
it begins to brown, then add the.
quart of boiling water. Cover, let
it boil UP once, skim, and set back
where it will just bubble for IL
hours. Add the potatoes, cut in thin
slices, and one tablespoon of -four,
mixed smooth with half cupful OF
cold water, pouring about oneIthird
of the water on the -four at first and
adding the rest when perfectly
smooth. Taste to see if the stew is
seasoned enough, and If 1t is not add
more salt and pepper. Let the stew
come to a boil again and cook 10
minutes, then add dumplings. Cover
tightly and boil rapidly 10 minutes
longer. Mutton, lamb or veal can be
cooked in this manner. When veal
is used fry out two slices Of pork, as
there will not be much fat on the
meat. Lamb and mutton should have
some of the fat put aside as there is
so much on these meats that 1t makes
them too rich.-Bcston Post.

Jamestown Wants The Money.

Hagerstown.-The residents of
Funkstown held town meeting in
the Junior Hall and decided by
vote of 81 to 10 to reorganize the
municipal corporation. For the last
six or eight years no municipal
election has been held in the town
and no taxes have been collected or
improvements to streets made. Since
the new high liquor license law has
gone into effect all incorporated
towns in Washington County have
received part of the revenue. There
is nice sum standing to the credit
of Funkstown, but there are no off,
GERS to receive or expend the funds.
