for the entire twelve months being

SHE WAS CALLED "PooR THING"
Had a Way of Sitting Silently at
Her Work, Listening,

PITY is certainly a kindly senti-
ment; nevertheless 1t can be SO be-
slowed as to cast doubt upon its
right to place among the virtues.
There was an old-time seamstress of
East Hentley who, If words were all,
was beyond doubt the most tender
hearted person in the village; in
deed, her favorite expression Of COM
passion had finally passed into a
nickname for herself. She was
known behind her back as Poor
Thing"
Poor Thing was not much of a
talker. She had a way of sitting
silently bent over her work, always
with a mouth full of pins, listening
to what other people had to say.
Only at the end Of the converse
tion would she extract her pins long
enough to contribute her share. Per-
haps the speakers had been eulogiz-
ing the abilities of noted house
keeper.
"Yes, poor thing!" she would sigh.
Fortunate, now, isn't 1t, she can
turn her mind to preserves and
pickles and pie-baking, the way she
does. She couldn't take much COM
fort in her children, that's sure
forth-putting, rampageous creturs.
s'pose it's a compensation"
Or the beauty of some blooming
young girl would have received a
tribute of praise.
She's real pretty-appearing," the
seamstress would agree, mournfully,
"She certainly is-but then those
delicate-feSsur'd, light-complected
folks never keep their looks more'n
few years. She'll fade right out
before she's twenty-five, poor
thing!"
Again, the prosperity of neigh
boring farmer was discussed and
his ability admired.
DRIVERS, both of 'em-Mirandy
and he," she would agree, promptly.
"I don't doubt they've earned every
mite Of it. l never knew such folks
| for driving. There amt any loaf1ng
round their place, nor any resting
either. My land, but they keep
things moving! can tell you they
make the children step lively about
chores. I dare say it's good for 'em
or 1t would be If they weren't sc
little-but there, I can't help pity
'em, poor things!"
Poor Thing was a good worker
but she never became popular with
her fellow villagers, which, consid
ering her concern over all theil
woes and failings. was rather hart
on her-poor thing!

How to Make Them Eat from the
Hand and Sign Checks at viii.
Husbands are the natural product
of most civilized countries. They are
plentiful in most OF the United States
Of America, being scarcest in Utah
and Massachusetts, where each lady
Owns but a fraction of q husband, or
none a. all. Those owning no more
than a morbid interest in a husband
are called old maids.
Although the best husbands in this
country are acknowledged by experts
to be indigenous to the soil, those
commanding the highest market
prices are the imported varieties, be-
cause of their expensive labels. The
Crown brand rings the largest fig
ure.
The husband is q wary and elusive
animal, fleeing for safety at the first
noise like a skirt to his lair in clubs,
offices and other remote caves of
his habitat; but he may be cajoled
forth by an appearance of indiffer-
ennce on the part of the trapper, as
his curiosity can always be aroused
by the strange creature who could re-
main immune his charms; after
which he may be easily caught any
where in broad daylight (though a
white night-lignt of moon-calcium is
preferable), in trap composed OF
frou-frou, talcum, golden locks and
hattery.
There is a tradition to the effect
that the earliest Eusband-catcher was
clumsy contrivance made of fine
nand-sewing attached to a spinning
wheel, decorated with homemade pre-
serves put up in sirup Of sweet dis
position and sealed in common-sense
jars.
Once secured with a matrimonial

Feeding Young Chicks.

In the morning the chicks should
not be allowed to eat too much. They
should be kept somewhat hungry, so
that they will exercise during the
middle of the day by scratching for
the hard grain and seeds scattered In
the litter. For small chickens these
grains should be cracked very fine,
the pieces Of corn should not be any
larger than half a kernel Of wheat.
Egg and rolled oats makes an excel
lent food for chicks for the first three
weeks, and after that mash of corn
meal, wheat bran, wheat middlings
and beef scraps can be substituted
for the egg and rolled oats. The
eggs may be expensive unless there
are a number of infertile ones taken

Glover Hay for Poultry.

We wish to again impress the i'm
portance of laying in supply of hay
for the poultry this winter. OF all
hays clover is the best and is usually
the easiest to provide on the aver
age farm.
In the winter when 1t is fed, it
should be first cut in bits about an
inch in length, then placed in ves-
sci and hot water poured over It.
Leave in the water for an hour or
two, then add enough corn meal or
oats chop to absorb the water and
feed the mass to the chickens. The
feed is also good for birds which are
penned at this time of the year, If it
is not possible to supply them with
chopped green grass.-Farmer's

HAY FROM OATS.
Good Qualities of Feed From Sew
eral Crops.

Good Qualities Of Feed From Sew
eral Crops.
The practice of making hay from
oats and barley is becoming more
common, especially where these
crops are used as nurse crops for
clover. In order to get good quail
ity Of hay from these crops they must
be cut at the right stage. II they are
allowed to stand until the straw be-
gins to turn yellow their hay value is
practically lost. They should be
cut earlier. This is best for two
reasons: 1t gives good quality of
green, palatable feed, and early cut
ting must be done in order to give
the young clover plants a chance.
This grain hay should be carefully
cured and moved away, and while
do not consider it as good as timo-
thy, yet all stock except horses like
1t, and will thrive on it, When the
crop is grown principally for feed as
it does in the Western states, the
berry is allowed to mature Just to the
dough stage, and then straw with
grain makes fairly good feed. In
Washington, where not much corn it
grown, they feed wheat hay almost
exclusively, and / must say theil
horses look much better than oul
corn and oat fed horses.

The ventilation of barns is a mat
ter which deserves more attention
than it receives, but l will not take
time to go into details. There are
frequently cracks and open spaces
which serve the purpose of ventila-
tion, but which often cause drafts,
resulting in colds, rheumatism and
other ailments. In like manner, the
drainage around the barns should
be examined, as bad results often
come from imperfect drainage. Then
there is the watering arrangements.
All horses ought to be watered be-
fore and not after feeding. The
horses stomach is comparatively
small, it only contains from seven
to nine gallons, so If you feed him
heavily and then water him, the re-
suit will be that a certain
amount Of the food will be washed
down into the intestines in an undi-
gested condition. This is frequent
cause of collie and other troubles
and can easily be obviated by water
ing the horse when his stomach Is
comparatively empty.

INDIAN RUNS DOWN WOLVES.
On Overtaking His Tired Quarry Uses
Club to Kill Him.

Superior, Wis.-At Solon Springs,
near here, lives Charley Taylor, a
half-breed Indian, who might be a
good man to enter in some of the big
Marathon races.
Taylor is in the wolf hunting busi-
ness for the bounty there is in it and
catches the wolves by running them
down. He hit the hot trail of one of
the timber beasts recently, and over
took the exhausted animal three days
later. He killed it with a stout club
which he carries when hunting"
Taylor says that there is nothing re-
markable about hunting wolves in this
manner. With snow shoes man can
run down a wolf, whose pace is SLOW
er in snow, in from one and half to
two days, but Taylor was without
snowshoes. All one needs Is endur-
ance, patience and the ability to fol-
low the trail of the wolf after dark.
The indians usually hunt in pairs.

Testing Baby's Bath.

Theoretically every mother ought
IN have a thermometer to test the
baby's bath water; obviously every
ono docs not. However, it Is mani
festly unsafe to rely on the time
honored method of testing with the
hand, as much infantile discomfort,
even real injury, may result from the
practice. A good substitute for the
thermometer is the mothers barred
elbow applied to the water. Not be-
ing accustomed to extremes of heat
and cold, as is the hand, the flesh OF
the elbow responds quickly to the
slightest change of temperatures
from blood heat, thus indicating the
degree of warmth required.

that make it impossible to link the

something in the perfect holiness and
righteousness of God that leaps forth
to embrace the prayer of the righteous

is the same glad response to the mer-
ciful man and the loving man and the
unselfish, self-denying man that gives
himself to God to spend and be spent
for others. God feels akin to them;
his love bounds and leaps to respond
to their cry. He opens doors for them
that no man can open; he takes them
through furnace fires without a smell
of fire upon their garments; he or
ders everything and everybody out of

them into lions dens, but shuts the
