49, NE day Evelyn and Jack had been watching a mother hen take care
~ of her brood of chickens. They found it vey interesting and mus
~ Ing to see how well the big mamma hen looked after her little ones
scratching up worm for them to eat and calling them together under
her wings when any anima or person got too close to them. When night
time came the children were still talking of the mother hen and her chckens
and were eager to tell daddy all about them. That made daddy think of some
thing he had seen a mother hen do when he ws a boy and lived on a farm,
and this is hi story he told to Jack and Evelyn that evening:
The hen If which / ST going tot tell youp said daddy chad a large number
OF chicks. / do not remember just how many there were, but L think there
must have beer It least ten OF them The mother hen was very proud of her
chicks and would ciuek loudly when any one zane to look at them, but If any
one came nearer than she thought a safe for her little she would rufe
her feathers n try to peck, This hen and Der chickens weyea allowed to run
around a large yard where there were plenty of worusa and bugs and they had
plenty to eat.

the mother hen, which was very selfish, few at her, scolded her in the bird
language and tried to brighten her away .a. @
AT first the little bird was really frightened and few away, but after
awhile as lei little ons cried for food, she few back again into the yard and
again tried to pick up a nice fat worm. The mother hen say her again and

STOKES AND MIDDLESEX.

There is one thing that the repub-
iicans of Middlesex cannot forget in
connection with E. c. Stokes, who
has appealed to the people, through

nor he gave Dory Strong a new lease
on his political life by reappointing
him on the State Board of Assessors
when the progressive element in the
party had the boss on his knees
pleading for mercy. Had Mr., Stokes
allowed him to stay down when he

publican party in Middlesex would
be united today and would be In a
position to give four republican votes

ter. AS it is, there Is every reason
to believe that those four votes will

BY LAW.

Brand Whitlock. mayor of Toledo,
Ohio, gives us something to think
about in his recent article in the
Saturday Evening Post entitled,
tFoolish Faith in Reform by Law"
He says:
"It is, of course, ~inconvenient to
argue with a person who has the
supreme refuge of the irrelevant
conclusion; as jnconyenient as it
would be were one to be offered con-
centrated lye as q toilet article, and
upon refusal, be accused of not be-
lieving in cleanliness. This order of
mind imagines that every phase of
human conduct can be ordered and
regulated by the enactment of sta
tutes; that the industries, occupa-
lions, clothing, amusements, appe-
tiles, passions, prejudices, opinions,
ambitions, aspirations and devottons
of man can be changed, moulded and
regulated by city councils and state
legislatures. Every inconvenience,
every difficulty, every disagreeable
feature of modern life, is to be done
away by the passage of a law.
"The mental reactions of a large
portion of mankind against the irri-
tations of opposing opinion habitual-
ly express themselves in the phrase,
t'There should 'be "a law against IT."
and If the cats howl on the back
yard fence in the nighttime, If a
strike interrupts business, If the
sheets in a hotel bed are too short,
or the hatpin of the oma in the
crowded car is too long. if a new
trust is formed, or a waiter is imper-
tinent, or the cook leaves, all eyes
are lifted up hopefully toward the
annual session of the legislature...@..
is it permitted to inquire whether or
not, we, in our social development,
have arrived at the phase of the
apotheosis of the policeman. who is
to replace nurse and parent and
teacher and pastor, and, relieving all
these of their responsibilities. under
take to remoufd man into a being of
absolute perfection, In whom char
aeter may be dispensed with, since
-1fe is to dwell forever under the
chrystai dome of a moral vacuum
from which temptation has been
scientifically exhausted? And is the
lid to become the fetish of a race.
and is each to rush about trying to
adjust the lid of his fellow, forget
ting that the individual lid is the
one efficient lid, and that the world
would Improve more rapidly IL each
would only see to 1t that his W lid
IS at all times on straight" .

House gowns that are made in EN-
pire style are always graceful and
pretty and this one will be found avail
able for a great many different mater
ials. Embroidered muslin trimmed with
lace makes the model but lawns, ba-
tistes and the like afford infinite va
riety, the silk and cotton muslins, are
lovely for such gowns. India, silk is as
cool as muslin and if a trip either to
the mountains or the seashore is con
templated, challis and albatross are
to be included in appropriate materials.
For the trimming can be be used any
banding. Foulard is liked for gowns of
this kind, too, and spotted foulard trim
med with bands of plain color would be
exceedingly smart. Plain colored mes
saline with lace would be handsome
and challis trimmed with ribbon or with
silk would be exceedingly attractive and
practical. If preferred the gown can
be made in walking length and it can
be made high at the neck. The closing
is made invisibly at The left of the
front. The sleeves, cut IN one with the
body portion, are fashionable and grace
full.

Sand-clay roads are made of those
two materials. and in some parts OF the
south are held to be. for particular re.
gions at least, more practicable than
macadam. This construction is now
being introduced in the sand hill coun.
try of Kansas, where the sandy roads
have hindered agricultural develop,
ment by imposing great difficulty ON
the transportation of farm products.
Garden City, which is in the sandy
country, solved the transportation
problem by building a sand-clay road
through the hills south Of that city.
Before this road was built farmers had
TO haul their grain more than twenty,

Admiral Evans expresses the belief,
in a series Of articles he has recent
ly written, that the commercial value
of the Panama canal will be disap-
pointingly small. There is a great
difference of opinion on this point.
Some authorities believe it will pay
for itself in a comparatively short
time. Be this as it may the canal
was dug quite as much because of
our naval necessities as because of
its commercial benefits. 1t is a great
work which will benefit the whole
world and this is too great a nation
to count the cost too carefully on an
enterprise which promotes the general
welfare of humanity.
