When l realized what happened
yesterday, Pa butting into the kaiser's
private grounds in his confounded run
about airship, which was treason pun
ishab!e with death, it made me sick,
cause Pa has no more respect for roy

the silk airbag for horse blankets,

stalls in the barn under guard, and
every German around the place looked
as though they would murder the in

and that Pa and the cowboy would be
buried in Mr. Potter's field, and l
would be left without friend. l cried
some at the joke on Pa, but when the

San Juan hill, by drinking the Task
of whiskey himself that had been in
tended for the colonel of his regiment,
he would tell all, and throw himself
on the mercy of the emperor.
He said he had been in good many
big game hunts, and he knew the dan
ger to the hunters, so he had invented
a concrete sort of patrol box, big
enough for few men to get inside Of,
with port holes to shoot out of, build
ings that were elephant proof, for
whole drove of elephants could not tip
one over any more than they could
a steel sky scraper, and he had spent
year building these concrete patrol
boxes all over Africa where Mr.. Roose-
welt was to kill big game. Not only
that, but he knew how difficult 1t was
for a near-sighted hunter to locate a
vital spot on an elephant or tiger,
when he was suffering from Buck
fever, so he had taken along about a
hundred of these ring targets, such as
are used at Schultzenfests, and had
caused them to be placed on elephants,
tigers, lions, zebras and hippopota-
muses., so that the bulls eye inside the
rings on the white target would be
right over the heart of the animals,
and any man that could hit a target
with a bean shooter, could kill the
largest animal in Africa, if he held
right. Pa said he had hired hum
bred natives to herd the wild animals,
and put the white targets on them
when they rubbed them off against the
trees, and that he was on his way
back to the United States to report to
the president, and he should no doubt
accompany Mr. Roosevelt to Africa
after the 4th of March, and he would
now take the liberty of inviting the
kaiser to accompany them to Africa.
Pa sat down on a lawn chair, and
the kaiser asked the cowboy if he
had anything to say, and he said he
could only indorse all that the old
man had said as being gospel truth.
The kaiser wept, for moment, and
then said, "Gentlemen, you are free to
go home, with my blessing, and if you
| like | will send you on German bat
tleship, and you may give by best love
| to your president and say l will &C
company him to Africa, and show him
how to shoot and try those targets

Hoq Cholera.

The Kansas experiment station has
carried out an extensive series of ex
periments along the line of hog chol
era and it's prevention. The method
of rendering hogs immune to the dis
ease was by vaccination. A virus
was introduced into the system which
reacted upon possible contagion, thus
protecting the animal against the dis
ease for period of several months
The experiment showed that through
this process the successfully vaccin
ated hog is immunized and can bt
kept with no risk of infection for {
period long enough to fatten and pre-
pare for market.

NEEDLE and THREAD


The girl whose turnover collars are
worn out can make new ones on the
same foundations, which will probably
prove prettier than the original ones.
Irish lace, imitation and real, is not
new for turnover collars. although it is
always good looking. The newer thing
is Venise 1let with a slightly scalloH>d
edge. 1t can be bought at the shops by
the yard, and is easily attached to the
top of a linen foundation. The net of
the filet should be coarse and in color
lead white, unless it is to be worn with
a colored blouse. While imitation hlet
can be easily picked up, it takes such a
scrap for a collar that it is worth while
buying the real in two-inch width.
When it comes to the problem of fin
ishing the front edges. which, of course
have no scallop, there are two ways OF
solving it. The first is to use heavy
silk. and overcast the raw edge. using
a cord for padding. Another way is to
buy the strip a little longer than is
needed, then cut off all except the edge.
This is then turned UP and applied to
the raw edge of the fronts.

Dear Margery Doom.
MARGERY doom

Dear Margery Doom;
/ am 19, and have been going with a
young man the same age for two
months. He asked for my company
when he had known me a month. Now
he says he does not want to keep
steady company, but that he cares for
me just the same. He Is very good to
me, and says he will go nowhere with
out me, but that he does not want TO
come to see me three times a week. Do
you think he want to go where there
are other girls? l hope he is not false
to me. Please answer. ANXIOUS.
At nineteen a young man is hardly
bic enough to know his own mind. I
think that the prospect of STEADY
company" with a view to marriage
probably appals this young man, even
though he loves you very much. Girls
OF nineteen are always a great deal
older than young men of the same age.
The next time he discusses the matter
heartily agree with him. If he imagines
that perhaps you do not care so very
much he may become only too anxious
to renew his former proposition.

Only one man stood in the way--Gil-
bert Dorrison. He believed himself the
heir to Broadstone, and was not the
man to step aside without compensa-
ton. At the worst, he must be told
the truth and be bought off. He was
the kind of creature who could be
bought. luckily; and as Sadie knew the
secret of Gladys Llewellyn, she did not
doubt that she could manage him.
Even the wrong done to the Llewellyns
must at need be condoned rather than
that Eva's life happiness should be
wrecked.
This decision was not arrived at with
out days of anxious deliberations; and
in the meanwhile she watched Eva with
the care of a mother.
The two or three days that followed
the chocolate incident saw a marked
Improvement in Eva. All the disquiet-
ing symptoms left her; her spirits re-
vivcd, and her strength returned.

Eva to write on the box MY very

to him with the assurance that she
would eat none but those he had given
her and that no one else, except him
self, should have any. But his taste
for chocolates had passed away, he
said.
Another change was showing in him,
too-a genuine one. He was growing
very weary of the make-believe of af-
lection. AS Eva gained in strength he
lost inttemper. And Sadie did her ut
most to make him uncomfortable.
Now that she courted recognition in
stead of shrinking from it, she W
