the middle of last winter instead OF tho
first of May" said a farmer from the town
of Greenville, it may seem that the nature
Of such critters is being turned upside
down. but it's a good sign. =
What's it a sign Of? It's a sign that
you needn't have any fear of a drought
this summer. Not because them snakes
were out skirmishing in a snowstorfn but
because up to that day there hadn't been
any snakes at all on the warpath this
spring nor any toads out yet looking for
the early worm.
8 IT'S q sure sign of a dry summer when
snakes begin to forage too early in the
spring. I've noticed it for years and
years. Look at the year 1896. n,
a went out to my woodpile one day in
March that year. q nice, warm day, and
had to kill a big rattlesnake. Before the
first Of April that year I killed more than
thirty snakes of different kinds. Maybe

ever had.
Same in 1900. One of nv boys killed
three watersnakes on st. Patrick's day
that year and the day was as cold al
Greenland too. The crops suffered for
want of water that year.
You surely do remember 1908 last
year? | don't think you've quite for
gotten how your crops burned up-no
rain from Decoration Day until Thanks
giving, The snakes began to show up
last year the first week in April.
THE summer of 1908 was the driest
we've had since 1857, and that year
my father lost a COW that was bitten by a
rattlesnake on March 4 and our neighbors
tell to this day of a traveller who came
along and said he had been chased a Inils
or more down the ~Shawangunk Mountain
by a hoopsnake that same day.
We'll we won have any dry summer
this year. The trouble may be. though.
that those snakes I overlook tho other

little too strong by opening up their sea-

MEN EASILY UPSET AT HOME,
How Mrs. BiiItOps Dusts Mr.. BIS Desk
without Touching Anything.


Il think the attitude OF men toward
housekeeping said Mrs. Billtops, lis
the most remarkable thing
Mrs. Billtops was at that moment en-
gagged in tearing the parlor apart and
moving everything out into the adjofn-
ing dining room, preparatory to what
she calls a thorough sweeping and dust
ing, and her remark had been prompted
by MIR. Billtops's exclaiming, when he
looked into the room and saw what she
was doing:
Heavens! What are you up TO now?"
Mrs. Billtops continued, as she tilted
up a chair and wiped its legs gently but
firmly with a dust cloth: .4n.
"You men are 30 easily upset. / sup
pose o like things clean, but it always
upsets you completely to have any clean
ing done. IL men could have their way
! o suppose there'd ever he a carpet
taken up or u rug shaken. You'd just
wallow in the dust. and I'm not certain
either that you'd even know it was there,
but you would rather have it there than
have it taken up. Now, wouldn't you
really, Ezra?
"Youdo 80 dislike to be disturbed i don't
suppose that men would ever clean house,
but that is that women are doing all the
ime. sort of a house do YOU sup
pose it would be to live in If it wasn't
busted and cleaned? . es
Il guess it would be something like
your desk used to be before I got at, ".
Why. Ezra. your desk used to have dust
on it an inch thick, and | don't believe
you even knew it; and then you usedsto
say to me, Elizabeth, whatever else you
do around here don't evertouch my desk,'
and l never did till the dust got SO thick
on it that l couldn't stand it any longer:
and then oh, you needn't start like that

weights on them, and then l blew tho
dust of with the bellows; and I've been
busting it that way ever since
"You like things better that way, don't
you-clean? Why, of cours you do; and
still it always drives you distracted when
you see me doing any housecieanihg.
/ do NOT. Ezra, said Mrs. Billtops. as sts
picked up another chair and lugged IL
into the dining room, Il do not understand

ing. They may like to see things clean

far as the ENJOYMENT Of the little folks
was concerned were lunches with u single
menu followed by games. Children arc
fond Of games provided they have q per
son who will o them into losing their
self-consciousness.
MY ability to paint and make little
pen and ink sketches adds much to the
earning capacity of my tideover work
For simple affairs | usually supply the
menus and favors. The most successful
thing in this line l ever attempted was the
portrait Of the little host in water colors.
He was a beautiful child. great blue
eyes. golden brown curls and a complexion
or milk and rosas the very subject for
water colors. Oh, no, those were not

as easy as rolling of the proverbial log.

They were 80 pretty that everybody
was begging for one.
Every few days the balance Of the
season he would make his appearance
with his nurse and gravely ask me to nuke
him a few more portraits. ! did them at
odd moments. SO he was always able to

at a given time.

tainment, l also talk over the color to

The great trou bic is to get the woman's

have.
"One Of the least successful entertain

her birthday had been spoiled.
The mother was as much astonished

did not enjoy the romping and shouting
that entertained them so thoroughly.

in February. but that didn't prevent her
celebrating her seventh birthday in
August.
Il had managed a simple little lawn
party given by two small friends of Miss
Seven-year-old, and her mother was SO
pleased with what she heard of 1t that
she came TO me. She explained that she
wished something gorgeously unique and
was willing to spend any amount.
"She was not without ideas of her own.
but OF course hadn't the time to see to
details. Together We mapped out the
entertainment and ! set to work to see
that everything wal as ii should be. The
invitations were sent out for a avn party.
1t took two weeks of hard work by me and
my assistant TO get things ready. 1t
was undoubtedly a lawn party. but it
included outdoor theatricals by a troupe
Of professionals and a water festival on a
lake on the grounds besides all sorts OF
ter shows and refreshments.
Having been told that the object was
to surpass anything ever given in the way
OF a child's party | wa careful TO let just
enough OF my plans leak out to arouse
curiosity. The result Of that manoauvre
was that every invitation was accepted
and several married people who had been
left out hecause they had no children
limited their desire so strongly to attend
it that they were urged to waive ceremony
and come. II is needless to say that the
majority OF these were the very persons
who had overlooked my employer me
her husband in various small affairs they
had given.
THE weather was undoubtedly perfect
and everybody agreed in thinking the
entertainment without fault. My re-
muncration was n check four times as
large as my charges with the undar-
standing that this coming summer was
to be prepared to undertake an eighth
birthday celebration yet more astonish-
ing.

entertainments are on such an elaborate
scale. Alany OF the most successful 90

none OF them were gold paved and while
it is true that a dollar is twice as big as

to get the dollar and it goes twice as
