into the room and shook Horatio's S
hand vigorously and greeted him eff
fusively, and wound up by joining
hands and circling about him in time
to barbaric chant. They they
stopped breathless and laughed mer-
rily.
"That makes you one of the tribe,
cousin" cried the tailest girl. "It's
the Pawnee adoption song-at least
it's all we know of 1t, Isn't he chic,
girls?"6
They laughed again.
"This is Jane, cousin" said the
other girls. Then Jane and Susan in
troduced Ann, and Ann and Jane in
troduced Susan. And they shook
hands again, and tea being announced
by the maid the three girls with much
laughter drew Horatio to the dining
room.
1t was not until they were seated
at the table that Horatio had time
to look at his cousins. His first i'm
preston was that he had never seen
such hair. Jane wore curls that
draped her face, Ann had pulled her
heavy tresses over her forehead and
ears, and Susan-Susan was the
youngest-had the most disordered
coiffure Horatio thought he had ever
seen. AS far as the faces of the girls
were concerned, he didn't feel quail
fed to judge-all he could see was
their hair.
He was dimly conscious that the
girls were not tastefully dressed, at
least there was a Haunting of bright
ribbons ON their gowns that he didn't
like.
Ever West, cousin?" Jane sudden
ly demanded.
"West OF Hoboken?" Ann added.
."No," Horatio admitted.
"Noo Yawkers never dare go
West" said Susan, who had funny
little lisp. They might like 1t too
well.
I'VE have planned to take you
home with u.s." said Jane. I'VE want
you to see the country just as God
made It,"
"You can't see any OF It here, y
chimed In Ann. There's nothing
In New York but rocks and elevators

folks round up when they saw us
leading Horatio down the trail!"
"Sussn!" cried Jane. "You mustn I
mind Susan. cousin. She's as wild az
q Siwash colt"
Horatio stirred himself uneasily.
"Then you don't like New York;"
he managed to return. a
I'VE like New York well enough, "
said Jane. -but OF course It isn't like

Then he made a formal acknowl-
eedgement of the invitation of the
hostess, and called messenger boy.
Jane and Ann and Susan!" he
muttered as the boy turned away.
"Sir?" said the boy.
Nothing" replied Horatio.
At o'clock he presented himself
at the substantial home on West
Eighty-sixth street. AS the maid
opened the door he heard gust of
hastily-checked laughter. The maid
took his card and his hat and coat,
and ushered him into the little re-
ception room. Here the hostess, with
a delightfully."- cordial manner, met
him and bade him welcome.
Your cousins will be down in a
moment or two," she explained. "If
they were not so mischievous they
would be more prompt. l understand
you have never met them?"
No, Horatio had never met them.
81 think you will be surprised. ("
Horatio felt sure of it. "They are
charmingly unaffected" This, of
course, was neat way of character
izing their disregard of decorum.
"I've known them since they were lit
tie girls. All, / think they are COM
ing!"
Horatio thought so too. There was
a scramble and a wild rlaftar IN the
stairs, and three young women rushed

The man who needs a rest cure
should have thought of that before

Keep Better Cows.

AS cities increase in population
there is an annual expansion in the
demand for dairy products. The mere
fact that In 1908 there was an in
crease of $4,000 milch cows report
ed in the United States indicates a
wonderful broadening of the dairy
industry. Railway transportation ia
cilities are improved. traffic rates are
more reasonable and the city supply
OF milk and dairy products is ex-
tending farther into the country,
says Drovers' Journal.
Where help can be obtained to op-
crate the dairy milk production is
one OF the best paying branches of
animal husbandry. The farmers op-
Grating their holdings with milch
cows are enabled TO market all the
roughage and grain produced on the
farm in milk, butter, cream or cheese.
The dairy industry is especially
adapted to build up and increase the
fertility OF the farm. II is popular
among farmers. because the farmer
realizes monthly income on his in
vestment. As a rule dairymen are
thrifty and prosperous agriculturists.
The profits OF dairy husbandry all
depend on the productive ability of
the cows. Unquestionably many
cows are In dairy herds that do not
more than pay the expense of keep,
leaving no profit TO the dairyman. II

Cows and What They Earn.

The returns from cows, when en-
pressed in dollars and cents, stand
out much more vividly than they do
when expressed in pounds of milk
and butter fat. Therefore, il every
dairyman would keep a yearly record
of the amount of milk and butter fat
produced by his individual cows, and
from this calculate, according to this
table. the profit or loss on the indi-
viduals, he would be astonished at
the wide variation in earning capacity
of the different cows in his own herd
and the results would be of untold
value TO him.--Illinois Farmers In
