home somewhere else?"
1T had to come some time" he
argued, defensively. "You see, Beth's
aunt will have to go back West
shortly and that will leave the poor
child without any protection"
"You can't expect me to remain
bachelor all my life," he added,
with trace of irritation. II think
we have all been very patient with
your whims, Stella. Kiss me like a
good sister and wish me JOY"
81 hope you will be very happy"
said Stella duly, but she did not offer
to kiss him and she slowly left the
room.
Bert watched her go with the sense
of helpless irritation man feels
when he has unwittingly hurt wo-
man and knows that really he Is not
to blame. He made no effort to stop
her, and Stella slipped off to her
own room to fight out her battle
alone.
But here fresh shock awaited
her, for as she curled up in the win
dow seat she glanced across the
street and was Mortified to see two
heavy trucks piled high with ropes
and tackle stop before the house
across the way. Gilt lettering pro-
claimed them the property of the
Metropolitan House Wrecking Com
pany, but Stella did not need the
signs to tell her their purpose.
Stella hurried down the stairs and
burst into the library.
Bert" she cried, there are the
house wreckers in front of the old
Balm place. We must send Robert
over to tell them that they are max
ing a mistake"
There is no mistake" said Bert
gently. "There was a decision in the
Court Of Appeals last month. Frank
and | did not tell you because we did
not want you to worry about 1t until
you had to. They are going to put
up a row of fiat houses"
For a moment Stella was stunned
by the announcement, then she went
over to her brothers chair.
Lets ask Beth out to dinner to-
night" she said as she kissed him.
We'll plan for double wedding,
dear"
Bert reached up and drew her
down to the comfort and protection
of his strong arms.
I'm glad you're going to give in
and marry Frank, even II he does
insist upon running away from the
house wreckers," he whispered.
But it's the first time I ever saw
the house wreckers act as Cupids. -

Millions from Hunters.

A deer in the bush is worth moro
than deer dn the hand, for the live
deer attracts tourists and the sports
men, who leave money behind, money
found because it costs the state moth
ing. This is borne out by Germany,
where 100000 people yearly pay for
hunting in the forests. The returns
from hunting licenses and rentals
amount to $32,500,000 yearly for Ger
many. Germany is ahead of the Unit
ed States in this respect. Only one
State approaches Germany in reve-
nues from hunting and tourists.
Names 25e,000 tourists yearly leave
$25, 100000 behind in hunters fees

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

|
A mans better half often sees his
worst side.
Freezing psliteness never makes
warm friends.
Don't sing your own praise II you
want an encore.
1t seems the natural bent of some
men to be broke.
To run through a fortune a fellow
must be pretty rapid.
The biggest fish and the best hus.
bands are hard to catch.
It's when he is up against it that q
man really feels downcast.
People who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw mud, either.
It's the easiest thing in the world
to make a bad matter worse.
There is always room at the top Of
the barrel for the big apples.
The more conceit a woman has the
less room she has for jealousy.
1t sometimes happens that even the
man who is his own best friends gets
left.
To say that all is not gold that gilt
tiers isn't necessarily an admission of
guilt.
Time may be money, but it is cas-.
Ter to make up lost time than lost
money.
1t requires no knowledge OF botany
to recognize blooming idiot when
you see one.
Unfortunately the things worth do
Ing are the things some other fellow
has done first.
We should all strive to love our
neighbors. We can get more out of
them that way.
When fellow begins to feel that
he couldn't live without a certain girl,
he ought to marry her and see.-From

Picking Cherries During a Battle.

I'VE took shelter in the cellar and
for two days the bullets were contin-
ually flying across our yard, so that
none of us dared to go to the barn.
AS we had a number of pet rabbits
there we were very much exercised
about feeding them. A Confederate
soldier offered to feed them for US
and did cross the yard, with bullets
whizzing around him. remember
how brave we thought him.
Speaking of bravery, there was
another Confederate soldier who was
so fearless that he climbed cherry
tree in the center of the yard and sat
eating cherries in most uncon-
cerned manner, although the bullets
were cutting through the leaves con-
tinually. or course, these were
stray bullets, for he could not be
seen, but his position was tsst as
dangerous. There was a lne Of
sharp-shooters just beyond us."-Ai'

A Collier Epigram.

The late P. F. Collier, the noted
publisher and horseman, once dis
cussed at publishers convention the
odd case of Ambrose Bierce, who in
England is regarded as an author of
genius-whose "Chickamauga" is
said to be the finest short story ever
written in English-while here at
at home Mr.. Bierce is not half so re-
nowned as others.
Mr.. Collier ended with an epigram
at once true and sad.
"Mr. Bierce is fortunate, for 1t fre-
quently happens" he said, "that the
prophet who is without honor in his
own country can't afford to go
abroad. Washington Star.

The Hair of the Horse.

The hair of the horse counts for
much in determining the condition of
an animal that is little known to the
man who Is buying him. Even though
horse may be fed up to a degree of
fatness the process may not entirely
eliminate all signs of previous bad
feeding. The horse that from colt
hood had had well-balanced ration
will have had all the constituents out
of which to make the various things
required In the elaboration of his
frame. The hair of horse that has
been well fed from birth should be
finer and softer than the hair of a
horse that has not been so fed. This
will be due to the fact that the lawer
of muscle and fat under the skin has
always been in good condition and the
roots of the hair and the hair follicles
have had healthy growth. The min
ute vessels also that supply the oil
to the hair will be in good condition
and will keep the hair soft and CLOS
sy and the skin soft.
So it is common to hear the express
sion that the coat of half starved
horse is staring" 1t is inclined to
stand out and is harsh denoting an
absence of the things that make II
soft and glossy. To some extent the
tendency In either direction is inherit
ed, but 1t is probable that in the be-
ginning the conditions were brought
about by the good or poor feed given
to the animals.
Therefore the way horse feels"
counts for much to the expert horse
man. The amateurs frequently won
der at the amount of importance the
horseman seems to attach to the con-
dition of the hair of the horse, but to
the expert the condition of the hair is
an index of other things.
The man that is raising colt for
the market or for himself must take
into mind the condition of his hair,
and to make this an index Of thrift re-
quires proper feeding from the first.
1t cannot be done by forced feeding
just before the time of sale.-W. H.
Underwood, in the Indiana Farmer.

THE NEW WOMAN
Made Over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater
percentage of Southerners than Of
Northern people. for Southerners use
1t more freely.
The work it does is distressing
enough in some instances; as an IL
lustration, a woman of Richmond,
Va, writes:
Il was coffee drinker for years.
and for about six years my health
was completely shattered. l suffered
fearfully with headaches and nerv-
BUSINESS, also palpitation of the heart
and loss of appetite
my sight gradually began to fail.
and finally lost the sight Of one eye
altogether. The eye was operated
upon, and the sight partially re-
stored, then I became totally blind In
the other eye.
my doctor used to urge me to give
up coffee, but was wilful, and con-
tinued to drink it until finally In a
case of severe illness the doctor in
sisted that must give up coffee, SO
began using Postum, and in a month
/ felt like new creature.
Il steadily gained In health and
strength. About a month ago be-
gan using Grape-Nuts food, and the
effect has been wonderful. / really
feel like a new woman, and have
gained about 25 pounds.
Il am quite an elderly lady, and
before using Postum and Grape-Nuts
l could not walk square without
exceeding fatigue: now I walk TEN or
twelve without feeling it. Formerly
IN reading could remember but Ht-
ue, but now my memory holds fast
what read.
Several friends who have seen the
remarkable effects of Postum and
Grape-Nuts on me have urged that I
give the facts tc the public for the
sake of suffering humanity, so, al
though dislike publicity, you can

Save the Horse.

Don't stay in the field too late. A
man never makes anything by over
working his horse. He is certain to
lose somewhere. The strain may put
him off his feed, and you will be out
Of horse for several days. A horse
is worth from five to ten dollars day
to the farmer during cropping-time,
and 1t pays to conserve his energies,
that he may always be ready for the
task in hand. A sick or dead horse
can never aid the farmer at cropping
time.-Farmers' Home Journal.

Aid of the Birds.

Encourage the birds. The farmer or
fruitgrower can not possibly reach
the highest success in his business
without the aid of the birds Except,
perhaps, the English sparrow, and
yet they are often very annoying dur
ing the ripening season of the early
fruits. Various methods have been
tried to prevent their ravages on the
early fruit crop with more or less sue
cess.-Farmers Home journal.

also quite likely true that good many
animals are kept at trifiing gain or
dead loss simply because they are not

SHAPING the Tree,

The shaping of tree should be
done when it is young. The practice
of allowing useless limbs to grow only
to be sawed or chopped off when the
tree is large is mistake, as every
undesirable limb grown deprives the
other limbs of so much nourishment.
Begin with the first year and train the
tree to the shape desired, leaving only
such branches as will be retained lat
or on.-Farmers' Home Journal.
