"PRESTo, CHANGE"
BEFORE


They went to a swell restaurant
And ordered tender duck.
But when he went to carve the bird
He met with awful luck.
The oily duck slipped off the plate
And splashed into her lap.
The gravy bowl turned upside down
And covered her with pap.
But did that maiden jaw him good
And cry, "Oh, my new dressv'
And drop him like redhot cake
For making such a mess?
Oh, no! She whispered: "Lovey dove,
Don't mind. That's nothing, dear.
Just move that screen little bit
So we can spoon in here"
AFTER.
They went into their dining room.
Where fine feast was spread
She took her place down at the foot,
While he sat at the head
Again the duck skipped off the plate
And flew into her lap.
Her Paris silk was all smeared up
With oily juicy sap.
Then quick the table went slam, bang!
The dishes all broke up.
He lay beneath the whole shebang,
All smeared with red catchup.
And on the top there danced some one.
Is this that maiden sweet
Who called him lovey dove before,
But now kicks with both feet?

Woman Robbed of $4,000 In Gems.
Mrs. Maldwin Drummond, who was
formerly Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr, of
Chicago, was much perturbed after
she awoke in her suite ON board the
Hamburg American liner Amerika,
coming to New York from Hamburg,
when she discovered that her precious
white black and pink pearl jewelry,
valued at $4,000, had vanished over
night from the drawer of a writing ;
desk in the bedroom of her suite.
The police have little hope of get,
ting the thief, and the officials of the
Hamburg American line say that un-
less the police solve the mystery it is
likely to be forever unsolved.
The Hamburg-American line dis
claims all responsibility on the ground
that passengers leave jewels in their
staterooms at the owners risk. To
the police Mrs. Drummond describe |
the missing jewelry as follows;
Two strings of 273 pearls each.
One string of 2S3 pearls.
One large black pearl ring set with
diamonds
One large white pearl ring set with
diamonds
One pair large pearl earrings sci
with diamonds.
One black pearl brooch, set wi
diamonds, with black pearl, pea
shaped, pendant.
A wireless message sent from the
Amerika as size neared port summon
ed detectives down the bay in a tug
They learned from Mrs Drummond
details of the theft and began a comb
ing of the ship and search of the
crew. But not trace OF the jewels
was found
Mrs. Drummond explained that ex-
cept at night she had r5rn tne jewels
almost constantly on her person, but
had kept them under her waist and
had not displayed them at any time,
even while dining.
On retiring she placed them in a
cabinet drawer of the stateroom, IS
she had done each night during the
voyage. No one had access to the
stateroom, she added, beside her hus-
band, herself and her maid. The maid
she holds above suspicion.

kURIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

q. AS result of Matching Brown
Leghorns l find most of my young
stock is about perfect in plumage and
head points, but their legs are green.
Does this disqualify them? Would you
breed from them? How do you ac-
count for the leg color?
A. Yes; standard demands yellow,
We would not breed from them eycept
for utility. They seem to be crossed
with Game.
Q. l am building house 100 by II
and ask your advice in regard to par
titions. Should they be wire or solid
and how many?
A. You should put in two solid par
ttions with doors. A house so long
without them would have drafts and
the body warmth of the fowls would
be too much dissipated. Divide the
rest of space with wire to suit needs.
Q. How may l keep Leghorns from
freezing their combs in locality where
the temperature at night often drops to
30 degrees below?
n. You do not state size of your
house, as that has much to do with it.
Say your house is 20 by II, nine feet
high in front and seven in rear By
"unching thirty to thirty-fve on a roost
they would radiate enough body heat
to save their combs, though dirty drop
ping boards with frozen filth or drafty
ventilation might offset the natural
heat Many build a roosting closet or
closed roost, which when kept clean
