and anybody" he went on, "and
nobody can buy him until my wife
has gone out to their house and
seen what kind of a home he would
have.
You see," he explained, and his
voice trembled bit as he said it,
Bunny belonged to our little girl,
and she's dead now. Died three
weeks ago. Scarlet fever. She
thought the world of him, ard now
that she's gone we want him in
a home where there will be another
little girl to love him as she did
why don't you keep him if he
belonged to wour little girl?'
asked an inquisitive one.
Well replied the would-be dog
selled, II want to, but every time
my wife sees him it makes her
think of baby and she cries all the
time. He reminds her so much Of
the little one that she can't bear
to have him around any more, SO
we're going to sell him, and we're
going east. 1t isn't the money we
want, though it's a good home,
where there will be some little
girl to love him as our grille did"
Then he suddenly turned away
from the, admiring crowd and
gazed intently at the goods dis.
played in the show window, while
the curious ones drifted away with
a peculiar choking feeling in their
thrOats.

LOTS OF
BOGUS COIN

Numismatists will find a fertile
field in Spokane these days. All
sorts of strange coins are floating
around the market, some bogus
and others good. One Howard
street bar man took in half-dol-
lar from Ecuador. a dime from Peru
and a dollar from Brazil the othGS'
day and in addition all sorts OF
Canadian money is making the
rounds. A good radiance is being
made of spurious coins these days
by foisting them off on walters and
mattresses. 1t looks good for you
to give a half-dollar or dollar to
waitrer, but when the poor man
finds out that it is counterfeit he
thinks OTHERWISE.

Darn AFE[L0W WHO CAN'T
Make UP HIS MIND

I'll flip and see which way it goes.
Heads, the drink; ills, the smoke. :"
And the coin was sent spinning
into the air that chance might de.
eide the momentous question. But
as the young man reached for 1t as
it fell, the tips of his fingers barely
touched the whirling coin, and 1t
struck the sidewalk on edge, rolled
gently over the curD and disap-
peared through the barred grating
of sewer intake in the gutter.
"Just my luck" muttered the
young fellow in deep disgust. No
drink now, and no smoke either.
Darn a fellow who can't make up
his mind!"
And he wandered disconsolately
down the street, thinking dolefully
of the three long hours until the
pay envelope came around.

WHEN VOTED FOR ANDREW JACKSON

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 3.-(Spe-
cial. )-As we walked slowly up
stairs to the photographers he re-
marked with a quaint smile, my
legs are beginning to fell kind of
old"
No wonder, since those legs have
been in commission 101 years, come
next March. But he stands as
straight as an arrow, his hearing is
unimpaired and his eyesight so good
that he only puts on glasses when
he reads fine print.
Charles Carroll Clusker is the old
est living Elk, and proud of the dis
tinction. His hundredth birthday
was celebrated with enthusiasm
last March. He began the day by
running several blocks and ended
1t with a reception and dinner at a
hotel, where he received the greet
ings of many prominent people. He
was certainly the liveliest man who
ever basked in the sunshine of a
hundred years.
Mr.. Clusker was born on farm
in Madison county. Kentucky,
March q, 1910. He remained there
for 20 years, then went to Cincin-
natl to learn the jewelr's trade.
He fought at Vera Cruz, Sierra Cor
do, Buena Vista and other battles
in the Mexican war, under Zachary
Taylor, and come to California in
1S4S.
When he first saw Los Angeles it
was a rancheria with a few adobe
buildings. He has seen it's rise
from that condition to a famous
city of 100000 people. He lived 4S
years in San Bernardino, Cal, and
came to San Diego to grow up
with the country" five years ago.
During most of his active life in
California he has been mining gold
with varying results-sometime
rich, sometimes poor.
When a fellow is over a hun
bred, does he feel like living light
along?" he was asked.
"Why, yes" he answered. Life

Mr.. Clusker lives alone in COM
Portable quarters in the heart of the

mentioned to him.

A young man stood on a down.
town street corner this morning
and gazed intently at a bright, shin
ing little disk of metal which he
held in his hand. The shining OBJ
ject was a bright new five-cent
piece. Also it was the only coin
disclosed by careful search of the
young mans pockets.
And as the young fellow stood
there he communed with himself
aloud. and thusly:
my last nickel, and l don't get
paid until o'clock. Just enough
for glass of beer or a smoke.
Now which shall do, buy drink

The whole fuss arose from some

two sharply differentiating stories
as to just what happened. Deitz
claims that he shot purely in self

aggressor.
Deitz retired to his citadel and

Undoubtedly theatrical realism
should be the real thing. The New
York Sun notes how effects may be
queered: The moving picture repre-
sentation Of an Indian attack upon the
cabin Of a New England settler was
thrilling until you noticed that the set
tier was knocking over the redskins
with quick-nring from his repeating
rife. and then you wondered what was
the matter with history" said a thea
tergoer. There was another thriller
in which child was knocked down by
au auto. A physician appeared and he
felt of the child's pulse without taking
on his glove. He was wonder. He
inclined his head to listen to the heart
beats. but in his hurry put his ear to
the right side. Then he shook his head
in sorrow that he could not hear any
heartbeats. and the child must be
dead. The scene shifted, and there
was a snowstorm. while in the back
ground could be seen hardwood trees
with green leaves a-plenty."

Have you ever thought how much
more rapidly you could improve your
dairy herd II you could plan to make
an exchange OF calves with some
neighbor dairyman who has good
cows but does not have the taste and
facilities for raising his best heifer
calves from his high-producing cows.
II always seemed almost sin to see
nice promising heifer calves sold for
bob-veal when some neighbor dairy
man was raising all Of his calves with
out regard to dairy promise for future
use In his herd. Try and make some
sort of an exchange with your neigh
Dor and see how rapidly you will be
able to improve your herd. II is folly
to feed inferior calves when good
ones can be purchased for practically
nothing. excepting the trouble OF TAX
ing them home.

1t is called the yarn" test:
At the stroke of midnight the girls
must all go upstairs. the men remain
ing in the hall below. Then each maid
in turn drops a ball of light yarn over
the banisters. or course. she must
hold tightly to one end of the yarn and
remain unseen when she throws 1t
down.
The men scramble for the ball. and
the one who gets it. when the yarn Is
drawn taut by the girl above, must re-
ply by giving his true name when the
unseen holder says who holds?"
II he recognizes her voice. SO much
in their favor: II the girl drops the end
she holds. she will remain unmarried:
II tho yarn breaks she will not marry

sion.

also a means of pairing the guests for
refreshments or for any game where It
is necessary to choose partners.

We sometimes hear complaints that
silagc gives an unpleasant flavor to
milk. but we believe II is due almost
entirely to bad silage. II corn is cut
at Just the right time and put up as 1t
should be there can be no bad flavor.
II corn Is cut too green II will make
a very sour silage and II this is fed
only an hour or two before milking 1t
may affect the milk. But II the corn
is cut Just when the grains are well
glazed and fed soon after milking 1t
will produce no unpleasant results.
Milk will absorb the flavor Of silage
II 1t is allowed to stand in uncovered
pals near the silo or where loose
silage is exposed and that is why milk
should never be taken from cows
where silage is fed.
