George could stand 1t no longer. Up
went one hand in a savage sweep. It
missed the mosquito. Forgetting all
except his desire for vengeance,
George swung with the other hand.
And as the skeeter buzzed 'Ha, hal"

Perhaps the wind created by the speed
blew the mosquito off Gordon's nose.
At any rate the pest vanished. Juct
as Gordon grabbed the reins and
started to saw on the bit a wheel

landed bruised and stunned at the

emphasized its cheapness and its
good qualities, including flavor and
nutritious value. The farm may en-,
able many people to follow his advice.
The three owners will be the only
trappers on the land. They will pre-
vent poaching and will guard the rats
carefully that they may multiply as
rapidly as possible. In the fall they
will trap, and after the pelts of the
victims have been cured and sold the
meat will be taken to the market
Our first idea was just to trap for
the furs," said Gelder, "but knowing
muskrats were good to eat. we decided
to investigate conditions and try to
promote muskrats as a popular article
of diet. We have strong hopes of sue
cess, for trial. will convince people
that the meat of the muskrat is good"
The farm will be used also by mem
bers of the Sag Gun club of Worth,
ILL.,, as a hunting and fishing preserve.
The swamps embraced in the farm are
noted for duck hunting and fishing
and have been popular rendezvous
for sportsmen of the neighborhood and
of Chicago. but their pleasure has
ended with the conception Of the
muskrat farm.

Novel Announcement Dinner.

There was time but long since
gone when girl generally consid.
cred June and October as the choice
wedding month. They used to be
called brides months" but now
Cupid is certainly working overtime
for If letters are any indication there
are to be many July and August
brides. Weather does not seem to be
taken into consideration, time nor
season interferes with the busy little
god of love.
An innovation in announcements is
always welcome and am glad to tell
of this one. Instead of a luncheon
eight girls were asked to dinner, all
unsuspecting the denouement. On go
ing into the dining-room, though, the
Jig" was up, as one girl very inele-
gantly but forcefully expressed It, for
over the table hung wedding bell.
The table had been made from round
to long for this occasion and down
the aisle formed by wee artificial trees
in porcelain jars such as are found in
the favor department came complete
wedding party even to khe flower
girls, ring bearer, etc. The men Of
the party were in uniforms of cavalry
men of the "U. s." army and there
were silk flags festooned upon the
wall. The minister was in black with
surplice and stole, and even a tiny
gilt cross showed, while his open book
bore the date of the approaching nup-
tials in writing as perfect as copper
plate. The color scheme was yellow,
as befitted cavalryman's bride.
Every one was delighted. The dolls
costumes were carried out entirely in
crepe paper, except the brides veil OF
tulle. After dinner the bell rang and
"the man of the hour" appeared with
bunch of men who were to be in
the bridal party.

An excellent example of thick leaves

In the American century plant, Agave
Americana, found most abundantly in
the warm regions of southern United

they have successfully solved the prob

Their leaves are long and thick, ar
ranged in loose rosette and covered
with an exceedingly thick epidermis.
In these thick leaves large quantities
of sugar and mucilage are stored.
Century plants are long-lived but
seldom reach the hundred years that
their names would suggest The early
years of their life are devoted to the
