The homemade raft was float
ing nicely on the little stream. and
the pirate sign, made by dipping
a dish towel in black paint, waved
|triumphantly from the broomhan-
die mast. Jack-the-Bold and Dead
Shot-Snaggsy sat in blissful con-
temptation OF the foes they expect
ed to rob and vanquish. The foes
were sitting on the bank eating
cookies, and consisted of Anna
Ruth. Baby Betty and Paul. Paul
was to defend the-women from the
attack of the bold, bad pirates.
1t might be great fun for the
pirates, but Nero, their big dog,
had been left behind and he want
ed to be on board the raft, too.
Up and down the bank he raced,
madly barking and yelping, and he
wagged his tail for joy when they
finally landed. He was used to
their sham battles, and always
helped Paul defend the girls.
The pirates had triumphantly
taken the captives, Anna Ruth and
Baby Betty, on their craft and
started away after driving the per-
sistent Nero back. But where
Baby Betty went, Nero intended to
go, too, and unseen by the pirates
had scampered beyond the turn of
land and swan out to meet them.
The pirates saw him too late. 1t
was hard work to keep their raft

Fifth avenue was literally fuzzy
that first wintry day of this season
in New York. 1t was one of those
snappy days when cheeks are red
and everybody moves briskly.
There were furs from every
corner of the world and from every
sort of an animal from a house
dog to leopard.
Fur is the rage this season I;
not fine, little furs, but huge
ones; the more massive the bet
ter. It's a fine style for a tiny,
little woman. OF course, it's a
different matter for a large one;

Animal heads decorated both
the muffs and the neck pieces,
and it wasn't an uncommon thing
to see a mink's head resting on
the bare throat of the wearer.
The high but openwork strap
shoes, and the pumps, worn with
verythin silk stockings, looked
more suitable for a summers day,
but majority of the women wore
them.
Summing 1t all up, there were
plenty of furs, but. nevertheless,
there must have been some cold
ankles and cold necks.

who in his efforts to climb aboard
upset the raft and spilled them all
into the water.
The stream was shallow there,
else their adventure might have
ended seriously. AS it was, every
body climbed out none the worse
for the ducking save wet and mud
dy clothes which a hurried trip
home to mother soon remedied.
And Paul declares he and Baby
Betty and Anna Ruth won the
fight, for Nero vanquished all the
foes.

it's too easy for her appearance
to suggest to your mind a bear or
a buffalo.
But the furs, huge as they
are, are not worn to keep one
warm. They're worn to afford
contrasts in colors for white
necks.
The ultra fashionable women
did not have the furs fastened
at the neck; instead they wore
dresses cut low in the neck, af-
fording a white background for
the edges of the furs. 1t is very
pneumoniacal, but it is the rage.

How Mind Makes Body Sick

Mind and body" is such a COM

to think that mind and body"
means two separate things. AS a

body are not two separate things

closely connected. Mind and body
are one thing, one entity.

WHY CHICKENS DO NOT PAY
Because They Receive scant

We often hear farmers say: my

all during the winter" If you take the
trouble to investigate this farmers
flock Of poultry you will say at once:
Its no wonder that his flock does
not pay"
1t seems strange that the average
farmer, who will take good care of
his cows, horses. pigs and sheep. will
let the poultry shift for themselves
and not furnish them much to shift on.

shed in too poor a condition to keep
anything else in, with leaky roof,
cracks in the side for ventilation,
some old poles for perches, perhaps
not cleaned out more than once a year,
a good breeding place for lice, but a
poor place for poultry if you expect 1t
to pay.
