THE LEMUR A CHARMING PET
Eha In His "NaturaIist on the ProwI"
Describes Little Animal-Serv-
ants Afraid Of Him.

Pets are of all sorts. One Of the
most amusing and attractive is de-
scribed by Eha in his Naturalist on
the Prowl." This little animal WAS a
lemur, and besides many gentle and
caressing ways, It seemed as II 1t
possessed certain sense of humor.
Says Eha:
II used to take its soft hand and
examine its pretty nails. Each hand
had one long. sharp claw. Such q
curious arrangement puzzled me, un-
til one day hea showed me the use
of that claw 1t bit the lemur under
the ribs. expect the little beast had
reason to be thankful that nature had
spared one toe when it promoted 1t to
the order Of four-handed animals.
There. never was a more charming
pet He took life SO gayly. and the
antics wore SO original. When my man
let him out Of his cage in the morn

bedroom. look round with large eyes
brimming over with mild curiosity,
and, lightly as rubber ball. spring to
my dressing table. where he would e1-
anime everything. Then he would
bound across the bed and land on my
shoulders, handle my ears gently, won
dering what was in the hole, and
thrusting In his long tongue to md
out.
That was beyond human endurance,
and I would roll the little fellow into
. ball, wind his long. fully tail about
him, and fing him into the bed. He
would be unwound in a moment, and
would skip away to explore some
more.

fore, he walked slowly, with his head
down; but when in q hurry he would

THE RIGHT WAY

Many a man would be
on the high road to fortune
who is now pegging along
three miles behind the band
wagon, if there were not so
much painful ignorance as
to the adaptabi|ity Of ad-
vertising. 81 can't adver-
tise the way other manu.
facturers do, my business
is PECULIAR" says the man
who has never tried. Ev-
cry line of business Is
peculiar - different from
other lines. But there is
some way to advertise ev-
cry business profitabIy and
successfully. The big win
ners, in all advertised lines,
are the men who determined
to find the right way to ad-
vertise their wares to the
people who ought to buy
them, and went ahead In
supreme disregard Of the
fact that nobody had ever
successfully turned the trick
before.
Anything that can be sold
can be advertised in a
profitable way.

There was also an experiment on

BY planting in rows feet apart and

Every year, besides paying his own
