HALLEYS COMET
LATTER PART OF FEBRUARY, SAYSPRO-
FESSOR FROST.

Chicago, Feb. l5.-While Halley's
comet may not come any nearer the
earth than 1900, 900 miles on May
IS, on which date the contact is ex-
pected, it will be visible to the naked
eye the latter part of February, ac-
cording to statement made by Pro-
fessor F.. B. Frost of Yerkes observa-
tory today.
THE approach of the comet will
be followed by meteoric showers"
said Professor Frost. "At present
the comet appears ike fuzzy ball,
but this will disappear near the slst
of February, and it will be easy for
any person to see it with the naked
eye"
In speaking of the johannesburg
comet, the professor said it is dis
appearing. He says it is identical
with the comet A of 1910 and has
not been visible for three days.
The johannesburg comet is los
ing its brightness" said Professor
Frost, because of its rapid travel
away from the sun, but splitting of
its tail would not be surprising,
as this often happens"

NEIGHB0RLY.

HarkinS had lived in his new home
but few weeks and scarcely knew
his neighbors by sight at the time of
his fire. On rushing out of the front
door he found two of his neighbors
already on the scene.
Il say" Harkins cried excitedly,
will you run to the corner and give
the alarm:''
Very sorry, :" explained the man,
but l have wooden leg and can't
run"
The other neighbor pressed for
ward.

his new ally, while l am getting
the things out run over to the corner
of the street and hallow FIRE.
I'm suffering from laryngitis and
can't halloa,' said the other neigh
Dor in a stage whisper.
There was not a moment to spare,
but Harkins found time to turn to
them and say politely:
Suppose both of you go into the
house and bring out easy chairs and
sit down here and enjoy the blaze. =

WHERE He SLEPT.

A prosperous farmer sent his son
to New York to begin life as a clerk.
After he had been in the metropolis
for six months the farmer wrote to
the merchant to ascertain how his
son was getting along and where he
spent his nights. In due time tue
merchant sent a reply to the farmer
which read;
Your son sleeps in the store in
the daytime. l don't know where
he spends his nights. Circle.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.


This is the latest about the tele-
phone girl from an unknown writer
The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from every
where. She gets on to the gossip,
she hears all the news; she knows
who is happy, and who has the blues.
She knows of our troubles, she knows
of our strife, she knows every man
who is mean to his wife. She knows
every time we were out with the
boys, she hears the excuses each fell
low employs. In fact, there's Sc
cret meath each saucy curl of the
quiet, demure little telephone girl.
If the telephone girl told all that she
knows, it would turn our friends into
bitterest foes. She could get all our
churches mixed up in a fight, and
turn our bright days into sorrowing
nights; in fact, she could keep the
whole town in a stew, if she'd tell a
tenth part of the things that she
knew"

PRISONERS FARE
EXCEEDINGLY WELL AT STATE PENI-
TENTIARY.

Warden ]. E. Matthews has made
good at the West Virginia peniten-
tiary and a full stomach among
the prisoners has been largely re-
sponsible for the result he has OBJ
tanned at the Moundsyille penal in
stitution. The enormous amount of
provisions necessary for the feeding
ofthe conyicts at the penitentiary is
almost startling to outsiders who do
not realize the vast quantities of
food that would be consumed by that
number of men.
One of the common daily breakfast
bills of fare demands the following
portions of the various dishes; Rice
IS pounds; sugar 60 pounds; butter,
so pounds; coffee IS pounds, and
syrup, 1e gallons. For common
dinner the following is required:
Beef, 500 pounds: kraut, barrel;
butter, 60 pounds; potatoes, u bar
rels. Seventy to seyenty-fve bush
els of green beans are consumed at
one meal, while an average of six
and one-half barrels of -four, making
about 800 loaves of bread, are used
per day, with loayes about FIVE times
the size of the ordinary loaf. About
$50 bushels of potatoes are used per
week, while l6 bushels of these are
boiled when cabbage is used, with
about 900 pounds of the latter.
One hundred pounds of lard is used
for frying IS bushels Of potatoes for
one meal.
As result of the past seasons
gardening at the state farm 900
bushels of tomatoes were secured for
prison consumption, and 5000 cans,
of a gallon each, were preserved.
The culinary department of the
West Virginia prison is doubtless
able to rank with the best. 1t is
councillors. and consists of two
kitchens, the old and the new san
itary one. The latter is not entire
" equipped as vet, but is now in use.
1t IS of white cement inside, perfect
ly drained, and contains tables. one
i6O-gallon coffee urn and two cook
ing kettles of the same capacity.
Only the frying and cutting are done
in the old kitchen.
There has been no great changes
in the dining room for some years,
the tables being merely high bench
es, while in place of the former mo-
yable and troublesome seats, station
airy ones have been installed recent
". Catsup and salt and pepper has
been added to the table under War
den J. E. Mathews, who has also
made other important and needed
alterations in other departments of
thellGg institution.

These are some OF the things he did

He made a tour of the world as

ton concerning the whole United
States, her colonies and her Internal

the same policy of finding things out
