Quite Correct.

A smooth-looking stranger recently

machines in certain town. The ma.
chimes bore the following inscription:
"The greatest aid known to diges-

then pull"
At the top Of the machine was a
handle TO be pushed, then pulled, and
many townspeople who could not re-
sist the temptation Of trying some
new device, for the same reason that
Timothy took the wine-"for his
stomach's sake"-dropped in their
pennies and took a push and pull out
OF the machine. But that was all No

explaining that exercise was the

that the agent escaped unharmed.

Composite Beauty.

The classical face, which is the
model in art, is, according to the analy.
sis of a recent writer, an ideal concep
tion combining the largest number OF
good proportions. 1t is a composite OF
perfect individual features. Uzeuxis'
"Helen of Argos is depletion of per
sonal beauty in which are combined
the charms of five beautiful virgins OF
tkat time. Cornovas Venus" unites
the beauty Of 60 different women
Annie Wolf in her work, THE Truth
About Beauty" says: The best recipe
l have ever seen for complete bodily
splendor is to study Greek models for
the head, English for the complexion,
Irish for the hands, American for the
finger nails, Hindostanee for the feet,
and Spanish for the gait" Now, the
same composite principle obtains in
the classical face.

RIGHT ONCE IN TEN ATTEMPTS
Bad Speller Did Get 1t Correctly
Though He Wabbed Badly.

Some bad spoilers hit on a phonetic
version of difficult word and stick
to it; others are of the wabbly kind.
One of these latter is an inspector for
fire insurance agency. He was or
dered to visit certain premises daily
and report the amount Of inflammable
material stored there. In his first
list he mentioned certain number of
gallons of "kereosine."
Funny that he always gets these
words wrong" said man in the Of
fee, you'd think that he'd get them
right once in a while under the law
of chances"
'Oh, he does hit the nail on the
head sometimes" declared another
man. Thereupon a bet of cigars was
made that in his next ten reports the
inspector would not spell Kerosene"
correctly.
This unique spelling bee, in which
there was only one contestent, and
ne unconscious of the match aroused
keen daily interest Here is his exact
list:
"Karosene, Coresene, Caresean
three times), Careosean, Kerosene,
Careasean, Kareasean and Kearie-
sepe."
Thus on the seventh shot he hit
the bullseye and the bet was won by
the man who didn't believe that the
devil was as black as he was painted

STUCK TO THE PIGS AND HENS
Good Thing About Artist Was That
He Knew His Limitations.

When any one asked Mr.. Hobart
about the New York painter who spent
one summer at the Hill Crest farm
Mr.. Hobart's reply always held a mix
ture Of liking and contempt
Il proph'sied he'd make living.
Mr.. Hobart would say, because he
knew what he could do, little as twas
and didnt try to fly too high.
Yes" Mr.. Hobart would continue,
with thoughtful smile, you couldn't
get him to attempt any foolish flights
All that summer he set out in the hen
yard, painting hens, or else out back
O. the barn, painting pigs. And when
| said to him, Look a-here, when Abe
Fowler comes to paint the house, I'll
get him to show you how, and let you
take so much, and allow it on your
board he Just shook his head and
smiled that kind O. gentle sorrowful
smile O. his, and says he, I couldn't
think Of it, Mr.. Hobart. / should just
ruin the looks O. the house. he said.
TIL keep to the pigs and the hens,
for l know my limitations
well, twas a real relief to me,
for l suppose likely he would have
botched the job considerable and I
said to him then, real hearty; Young
man, you'll earn your living yet, for

ambition, and my words have come

Farmers who have visited the de-
partment of agriculture, do not realize
the scientific effort that is being made
in their interest Every phase of farm
life and farm difficulties receive theo-
retic consideration, but every PROPOSE
tion receives practical demonstration
by practical farmers.
The corporation commission has Sc
cured from the NJ, X e. T. railroad a
refund Of $685. for Jim Finley of
Guthrie, this being an oyercharge on
a ticket from Kansas City to Vinita.
A refund was also secured from the
Rock Island for w. G. Crawford,
prominent farmer union man. This
oyercharge was occasioned by the
washout last spring wherein the rail
roads refused to sell through tickets
and compelled Mr. Crawford to buy
local tickets The refund is the diff
terence between the total of the local
tickets and of through ticket.
