was something on which the custom

it was an idea. She made a round OF
the New York rubber redeemers n
manufacturers and learned that old
rubber was in demand all the time.
She cabled the European merchant
with whom she had first talked to
send her all the old rubbers he could
get. She sold the shipment at a good
profit. For two years she did BUSH
ness in this way, depositing her pro-
fits always in the same bank. Finally
she found that she could get the
trade Of a number of the largest Eu-
ropean firms, and for this she needed
much more capital than she pos
sessed.> She went to the president OF
the bank with which she had done
business and asked for a large loan.
If the president had been at all skep-
ticaI as to her ability, the explanation
she gave him of the future of the old
rubber trade convinced him and she
got the loan. To-day she receives old

Training Yazoo Basin.

One Of the greatest undertakings
ever entered upon by the U. S. Geo.
logical Survey is the draining Of the
famous Yazee Basin-that portion OF
the State of Mississippi lying between
the Mississippi and the Yazoo Rivers
!. and commonly known as the delta.
The first project surveyed contains
500 square miles, and State and Ma
ton are cooperating in the work.
During the last tw~enty-four years,
s9,700,000 has been expended for the
building and maintenance Of the
levees of the delta region, about one
seventh Of this amount being con-
tributed by the Federal Government
and the balance by the State. These
levees are supposed to be fairly dura-
BILE, though the levee commission does
not trust the lordly Mississippi for a
second, and is ever on the watch.
This reclamation work is a tremen-
dpusly difficult task, however, and
the least of the troubles of the engi-
neers now at work there is battling
with snakes, mosquitoes and malaria.
It is generally believed by those hV-
ing remote from the delta that its
land is Of a swampy character. Tho
belief is unfounded. There are few,
if any, swamps, in the general accept
ance of the term, to be found. 1t is
an area of narrow lakes, bayous and
rivers with deep banks and tortuous
courses.-Van Norden's.

The Fourteen Errors of Life.

The fourteen mistakes of life Judge
Rentoul told the Bartholomew Club
are:
To attempt to set up our own STAN
dard Of right and wrong and expect
everybody to conform to it.
To try, to measure the enjoyment
of others by our.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and exper-
fence in youth.
To endeavor to mold all DISPOSE
lions alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifes.
To look for perfection in vi own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that
needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that We cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if the moment, the time,
the day were so important that it
would live forever.
To estimate people by some outside
| quality, for it is that within which
makes the man.-London Standard.

things in a low grumble, n with h1s
head down.
Exactly what happened within will
never be known, but it seemed as
though a young earthquake was re-
hearsing below in the darkness.
All at once Tickle shot forth into
the outer air as if propelled violently
from within, and bolted as though
| from a plague. After that the bad
| ger went to sleep, the fox returned to
his lodgings and peace reigned once
more.
If Tickle had known or understood
the meaning Of fox hunting he might
have been alive to this day. When
he was disturbed and hustled from a
! comfortable wood next morning by a
cloud of big parti-colored dogs, he
was at first angry and a little fright
ened.
But when these dogs threw them
| selves upon his trail with a clamor
of loud and terrible voices, and
pushed him to a gallop for his life in
the light of the day, he became terri
fed. In the sprinting line Tickle
was somewhat Of an expert - for
fifteen minutes he strung out the
fields behind him, d%eyouring space at
a pace that made hounds and hunters
wonder what manne of fox this could
be in front of them. When, however,
he tied his tail into knots on the dust
of the road, ran back upon his old
tracks, and then jumped a wall and
| generally played about with his scent
till it became a maze to those that
| followed, there al a lull. These
lulls became more frequent as time
went on, for, whenever Tickle became
tired he juggled with his own trail in
a manner which completely mystiied
these hunters Of mere foxes. The
| end came, however, from quite an un.
expected quarter.
With the instinct of his race the
| coyote had from the start been lead
ing the pack upward till they found
themselves at last high up in a land
Of mountains and snow and gloomy
woods of pine trees. Here, as evening
drew on, the huntsmen lost the pack,
but the pack did not lose Tickle. Such
hounds as Royal. the old and gaunt.
and Thor, the quick and cunning, are
not easily put off the trail of theiI
prey. Tickle got rid OF the other
hounds at last, but all his craft failed
in throwing off Royal and Thor. These
two were ever at his heels, perhaps.
indeed, they knew enough to. mark
his footprints in the snow.
Following e regular beaten game
track, all his attention fixed upon the
death that logged his steps, PICKLE
| sprang lightlyover atree felled across
across his path. Even as he did sc
he smelt the faint Of a mans hand,
but the warning came too late and he
landed clean upon a large trap. A
snap of steel jaws, a despairing howl
of anguish, a frenzied, useless strug-
gle on the soft white snow and then
silence. Tickle was caught at last.
Thus the two hounds found him cow
eripg and painting, held fast by a leg,
and there in the silence of the pine
woods they dealt with him after the
manner of their kind. - Pittsburg

How to Make q Farmer.

and by farming. o..

caced Dane, "the children are in

makes good Danes out Of the chill

more than ten minutes. At the ex-
piratfon of that time the meal should
be, served. This is only fair to your
punctual guests, who deserve to have
a good dinner, and not n that has
been spoiled by standing. In order to
get their guests together at just the
right time some hostesses resort to
the subterfuge Of naming a dinner
hour half an hour earlier than they
mean to have the meal served. This
gets the tardy ones there on time, but
is not quite fair to the punctual ones,
who are kept waiting. That old
adage, "Punctuality is the courtesy OF

Calls Not Prolonged.

When paying calls to ones frlenos'
whether formally or Informally, do
not utterly disregard the hours for
meals, for it is not good form to
linger until the lunch or the Inner
hour, when you have not been invited
for the meal. If you do you are likely
to place your friend in an awkward
position. Either she must ask you
to remain because she feels it neces-
sary, or she has the meal delayed,
waiting for you to take your de-
parture.
Do not put yourself in the position
of allowing either of these alterna-
tives to occur, for no housekeeper
likes the routine interfered with, and
uneypected guests are not. apt to be
popular, for in all we'll regulated
households the table is as conVen-
tionally laid for luncheon as for dan
ner, and to rearrange it at the last
moment necessitates considerable
change and special orders to the
kitchen. All of which many house
KEEPERS dislike, and therefore do not
feel obliged to invite callers at the
last moment.
If you are really wanted, you will
be asked during the early part OF
your call, for the hostess who wants
YOU will insist that you take off your
hat and stay for a long visit. If she
does not ask you in this spontaneous
way, do not embarrass her by remain
ing until the moment the meal is an
nounced.
No we'll hammered hostess allows
her maid to announce a meal while a
caller is present, and if the visitor is
thonghtless the lunch or dinner is
often delayed until it is almost
spelled, for cooked foods should be
eaten as soon as they are done. This
waiting is a trial to the ~housekeeper
and a cause of irritation to her hus-
band, if she has one, and the visitor
responsible for such a state is never
popular in that family.

Trade Developed by a Woman.

There may be a thousand and one
ways Of going into business for ones
self, but Mrs. Augusta Matzner, OF
New York City, seems to have found
the one thousand and second. 1t was
while she was on a trip to Europe a
number of years ago that a merchant
with whom she was talking at a re-
ception remarked casually that he
wondered whether there was Hny
market in America for old rubbers
and overshoes. Mrs. Matzner thought
this request strange, and on inquiring
found that many tons of worn out
rubber footgear were being thrown
away or used for small profit in Eu-
rope.i
When she returned to America
Mrs. Matzner had something more
valuable than Partisan frocks. II
