Puts Red Paint on Hens.


Mrs Chas, Rounds. the wife OF q
farmer 81 Wildwood Harbor, Mich,
has just proven that as a detective
and clever thief catcher she ranks
among the best IN the land
For some time thieves have been
raiding her chicken coop and those
OF her neighbors. and though repeat
ed efforts were made to locate the
stolen fowls and catch the thieves,
they were without avail Finally,
Mrs. Rounds, believing that the
thieying would continue SO long as
chickens were left. thought out a
plan which she put into execution.
She secured some red paint and
brush and gave each OF her chickens
a coat OF paint. The expected raid
on the hennery took place and Mrs.
Rounds kept close tab on the mar
ket. She was not long In discovering
the poultry with painted legs and the
identity of the fellow who sold the
poultry was easily ascertained.-Na-

s. s. clam Of salyersville, KY.
stopped here today on the way 20
Monticello. Prof ELAN brought with
him and loaned 20 the Lexington Pub
lie Library a block OF wood which Is
considered Of great historical interest
and value. Il Is a block cut from a
beech tree which stood on high
point Of hin near salyersville and
bears the following lettering cut IN

Instead OF curves the b has tri.
angles, the O's are open at the bot
tom and the rs are OF an old style.
The letters are identical with those
cut on the stone at the Richmond
Court House. The point on which tho
tree stood is on the route which Dan
lei Boone took when coming to this
section OF Kentucky from Virginia.
Mr. ELAN secured the block from
the Rev. George Willis. who discov.
cred the cutting while hunting in
1890 on his farm two miles from
Salyersville The greater portions OF
the letters were overgrown by moss.
Mr.. Willis thought but little OF this
tree until he began to clear the
woodland in 1894, when he cut the
block out and kept II until recently.

State for Washington. AS II would
not be of as much historical value
there as in Kentucky. Mr.. ELAN pre-

Beth"
Tbe two sat up late that evening
making plans for the future, and
when they retired at last Il was the
elder woman who fell asleep first.
Elizabeth, with a sinking heart, faced
the situation fairly for the first
time.
"She doesn't dream I'm only get

look ont for it's different thing. But
how selfish / am. I'm sure that ey-
erything will be all fight, and that
shan't regret It."
With this comforting thought Beth
soon fell asleep.
The days that followed proved TO
be trying ones for Beth. At first
It was not SO hard to manage, for
she had the s15 to help her out, but
when that was gone, she found Il al
most impossible to make both ends
meet To be sure there was $15
more in the bank, but she was de-
teqmined that she would not draw
1t until the last moment. She
never limited to her Aunt Mary OF the
struggle she was having, but that
lady after four months began to no
tice that something was wrong and
inspected the truth.
I'm mean old thing" she whis-
pered to herself, "but just had to
find out"
That night Beth came home from
work very tired indeed, and almost
discouraged; for It had come TO the
point where the money would GER
tainly have to be drawn from the
bank that very week. She called
smile to her face as she opened the
door: but she stopped on the TIRES
hold, astonished beyond measure.
The most appetizlng doors greeted
her nostrils, and for an instant she
was sure that she had stepped into |
someone else's room by mistake. |
But no. there was her Aunt Mary |
coming forward, her face wreathed in
smiles.
Hurry up, dear, and take off your
things" she said gayly. Were goIn'
to have a feast fit for a queen-or
rather two queens"
Beth's bewildered gcze was now
taking in the table which had been
pulled out into the middle OF the
floor. and on which was spread ev-
orythlng that was good to eat in the
world, according to the girls
thoughts.
You set right down here" went
on her aunt. This steak Is Just as
tender as any you ever eat in your

posed Beth, weakly. Il don't under

IF youll set down and eat your
supper like a good girl and not ask
a single question I'll tell you all
about everything the minute we're
through"
Beth obeyed, although she could
hardly wait to hear what her aunt
had to tell. But finally the meal
was over and then she listened to
4 story that seemed more like a
airy tale to her than anything real.
Her Aunt told how her son had
gone West when a mere lad, being
