William Henry Schult, better known. as Bill Hen Schult. who has abandoned hardware to take up fowl cultivation. contributed to the literary archives of the board d unique warn ing entitled: Never Set Hens On Brass Door Knobe"
 The moment Chairman Silas Per kins eyes fell on this title his hair bristled, the color fled from his checks and his lips trembled-. When he could recover lie bounced from his chair and addressed the new applicant for membership.
 Bill Hen Schult," cried Chairman Perkins, 'I reckon from glancin' over this here paper of yours that you take us fur lot of imc- be clcs. It is writ in the bylaws of this organization that if you can't Furnish hen with sure enough truly settin of really eggs an she is brcakin' her heart for lack O setting activity. you got to furnish her with china egg of the first magnitude. Door knobs has been barred often our henneries for eleven years. Door knobs is a cruel an in- human delusion no matter what they is made out of"
 Who says they isn't?" snapped Bill Hen Schult, whose ire had been aroused at the fierce manner in.which Perkins addressed him. "The intire purpose of that there paper O mine is to prove them words that is jest of fen your lips. Bnterin into this here poultry raisin' business, l got to get ups an downs like other folks.

Then" ran on he new applicant for membership triumphantly. it ain't never been your experience te set hen on q brass door knob an have that there hen catch fire often the heat that goes out of that into the brass door knob an then out of the door knob into the feathers of that
 hen.
 | Il got all o' the facts down in that
 paper, as well as their figgers, show in my total loss from settin' one hen on one brass door knob I bought that hen out of Rcllo Rollins hennery with thirteen other hens an two roos- ters. He guarantees 'em as layin' an settin' hens. which they are, so far as settin inclinations is concerned As fur layin' I only got one egg from them fourteen hens in seven weeks
 There is one brown hen in that bunch that is mad fur settin'. on sum thin. She goes round wild settin' on rocks an Jumps Q coal. She gets inter the house and tries settin' on the knobs of bedposts. She tries set tin on apples an pumpkins, till the missus is near losin' her wits an tells me l got to get her d settin' O eggs or sunthin'
 'I inquiries of Rollo Rollins what the price o' settin' eggs is. and he says he doesn't tell me Cold storage eggs, he say. are cents each, but he ad- vises agin' them fur settin on the ground that if they hatches out the chicks I'll be a couple of years old an only good as second class leather fur cheap pocketbooks.
 Well l goes home desperate and find that brown hen settin on the brass door knob of the front door. She was cold and shivery and tears was drainin' from her eyes Gents of i the Cedar Grove board of poultry l trade, my heart was touched fur that ! old hen, an l instant an forthwith i takes off that brass door knob an | fixes it cozy in d nest in the hem nery.
 That old hen thanks me with a [ smile an I leave her there in the hennery all night. Come mornin', | looks out the back window and mo- | tices that the hennery is smokin'. The | minute it's open that brown hen comes | out, all on fire. All the other hens is | overcome by smoke After putin out | the blaze I trace it to that brass door knob, which I notice is red hot.
 '1 picked that fiery knob out of the nest with pail of well water But that icy water don't cool it. That water boils an so does eleven other pails of water boil in the same man. ner. It takes me eighty days to cool of that door knob. e
 Tt costs me $1 each for an animal doctor to bring them smoked, sense less hens back to life. an after I paid him he told me them hens was no good fur layin or killin', more espe- cially, not for kiIlin'. as smoked chick ems didn't have no market value
 That is all l got to say on this brass door knob business, but reckon my experience ain't been duplicatedP
 Correct" calculated Smith. hear tily, and I move that we admit Mir. Schult to the membership of the board without further parley.'
 Schult was admitted by a rising vote of vociferous unanimity=New York Sun,

'Is it any worse than the way wom-

G|GGEO BACK ON
AO," IS CHARGED
Odd Suit in Which Breach of Faith
By Manufacturers Piano Co. Is
Alleged, Comes Up Monday.

How the Salvation Army accepted
the widely-heralded challenge OF the
Manufacturers Piano Co., and how the
latter is alleged TO have funked, will
be aired In Justice DeGaw's court.
Monday, In the suit brought by the
piano concern to regain title TO a
piano, sold the Army under the terms
OF their advertisements. which, by the
way, The Times did not publish.
Several weeks ago there appeared
In the other Detroit newspapers, ad-
vertisements announcing the sale OF
a piano for $179, by the Manufacture
ers Piano Co.. in which II was stated
that the concern would give one OF
these pianos absolutely free TO any
one producing better instrument
made in the state of Michigan, regard
less of the price. Charitable institu-
lions were urged TO take up the orer,
as well as private citizens.
About this time the Salvation Army
decided It needed a piano In the cita'
del. and took up the challenge. IL
made the necessary payment OF $5
down and the instrument was placed
In the citadel. The Army was given
an agreement, signed by the COM
pany's officers, in which II was
agreed that the Army was to have
the Liano free and Its first payment
would be returned II II could produce
an instrument as good made In the
state. Then the Army people went
to Grinnell Bros. and asked them to
take up the challenge, and this Arm
readily agreed. Grinnells sent up
one OF their pianos and then notified
the Manufacturers Piano Co. of their
action, stating they were ready for
the contest. Grinnell Bros. proposed
that they choose one expert, the 9TH
er concern another. and these two Sc
lect q third disinterested party to
make the test. but the Manufacturers
Company refused to go into any such
contest, and began to make excuses
claiming first that the wrong piano
had been installed, and again declar
ing that the contest should be held
under the terms Of an lad" which
appeared Feb. %, while the piano IN
question was sold and delivered on
Feb 81.
When the Manufacturers Company
saw II was In for a contest II took ou'
writ of replevin and sent cons
table after their instrument, notwith
standing that the Army had made the
necessary payment. The question o.
the ownership of the instrument VIII
be put up to Justice DeGaw, Mon
day.

one to several hours each, day,
while we are asleep: and is rap
idly nearing the horizon when
We reach home after the work
of the day Is over. Now, II some
OF the hours of wasted sunlight
could be Withdrawn from the be-
and added TO the end c
the day, how many advantages
would be gained by all, and in
particular by those who spend in
the open air when light permits
them 10 do 80, whatever time
they have at their command, al
ter the duties OF the day have
been discharged.
Under Central Standard time
many men, especially profess
sional and clerical men, live one
hour more daily under artificial
light than they would under
Eastern Standard time. This
amounts TO 500 hours in the
course OF year or, incredible as
IL may seem, 80 days OF IL hours
each, or 90 days or two months
of hours each that our over
worked vision organs are un-
necessarily exposed to the de-
leterious action OF unusually
strong artificial illuminants. The
harmful effects OF this cannot be
stated too strongly. So we'll
known Is this fact that many
means of mitigating these harm
full effects are proposed. When
one considers how unnecessary is
a great part Of such exposure, it
seems incredible that We should
pay so dearly for such doubt
full privilege. To the thousands
of citizens suffering from weak
eyes no greater blessing could be
conferred than the simple expedi-
ent of taking them out OF the
night and into the daytime for
two months OF the year. Sir
William Ramsay, the greatest
eye specialist of the British
Isles, says In commenting upon
the daylight movement over
there: The advantage TO eye
sight Of more daylight and less
artificial light can hardly be
overestimated."
