sIamsd the Architect.

An architect who had business at the
criminal courts building saw an old
private pupil of his on trial for bur
giary. He waited around until the man
was convicted; then he spoke to him.
How did you happen to 60 t the
dogs, Jim7' he said. II expected bet
ter things from a man who pegged
away at architecture v earnestly as
you did"
81 pegged away because I needed a
knowledge OF architecture In my bust
pess," said the burglar. II was a bad
one then, but I wasn't proficient. I
found I could accomplish much more
II I knew how houses ought to be
built. Suppose I wanted to tackle a
strange house and had no way Of ex-
aiming the interior beforehand. H I
knew the rules Of architecture I could
reconnoiter and get q good idea from
the outside Of the house how It was
planned on the inside and 80 move
about much more safely than a dun
derhead who knew nothing about
building. What ! learned from you
helped me through many a tight place.
I wouldn't have been caught this time

been planned by u bum architect

Sir Ar".~. ~~4.,.an's rever'es.

Sir Art...s ~G..,saHS H0S0rSeo.
Twice In his career Sir Arthur Sullf
van. after building up a small fortune,
was placed in the same uuenviabie po-
sition as was Mark Twain when In
1896 his "rainy day" balance disap-
peared in the failure Of q concern in
which he was Interested. And the ia
nous composer met financial disaster
with the same equnninity az did the
author. By far the greater OF the two
financial disasters which overlook Sui
Ivan happened In 1882. and the new
reached him under very dramatic cir
cumstances. In that year "Iolanthe"
was produced at the Savoy. and as
usual its composer conducted the first
performance. On the day fixed for
the production the bankruptcy was an
nounced Of the firm in whose keeping
Sir Arthur had intrusted all his Sc
curities. and the news Of the crash
reached the composer Just as he was
setting out for the Savoy theater. "1n
a moment" says Mr.. Lawrence. his
biographer. "the result Of the work Of
a lifetime and of economy had been
swept away. From the monetary
point of view he bad to make a be-
ginning all over again; but. unmoved
by his Ill fortune. he conducted the
first performance OF Iolanthe' that
nisht."-London News.

It IS really wonderful how much can
be gained by improving odds and ends
Of time In keen analytical observing.
thinking, reading. studying. Think OF
the untold wealth locked up in the
spare moments and long winter even
ings Of every life. 1t IS possible to
pick up an education IN tho odds and
ends Of time which most people throw
away. If those who have been depYtv-
ed Of q college education would only
make up their minds to get a substi>
tute for it they would be amazed to
see what even the evenings Of a few
weeks devoted conscienticusly to the
college studies would accomplish.
When a noted literary man was asked
how he managed to accomplish 20
much with so little friction or -apparent
effort he replied, by organizing my
time-to every hour its appointed
task or duty. with no overlapping or,
infringements." There Is n great deal
Of time wasted. even In the busiest

There are no figures available for
Wholesale milk prices In Des Motnss In
years past, a there lie 40 estab-
lished market, but this Is what the fig
ures for the Chicago n Now York
markets show: In the vicinity Of New
York the producer of milk received an
average price Of 3.013 cents per quart
al ms station in 1905. 3.35 cents In 1907.
3.2S7 cents in 1908. and 3.37 cents In
1909. The Borden prices to
for the present year have averaged
3.34 cents. In the Chicago market the
average annual price to ~onsuufe at
their stations was 2.65 cents In 1906, 3
cents in 1907, 3.2S cents in 1908. and
81 cents in 1909. With the producer
getting almost the same average price
in the past few years. the consumer
has been subjected to several increases
and he now pays in Chicago and New
York several cents more per quart
than he did three or four years ago.
In Chicago and New York and Bos-
ton and other cities 1t is known that
the increased prices for milk have pro-
flied the producer but little: the mid
dleman who retails 1t in these cities
has absorbed practically all of the in
crease. In Des Moines the excuse is
that milk production costs more than
it did a few years ago, but it Is CUB

share of the benefit of the boosting of
prices to the unless it hap

that IN a dry season with a shortage
of good pasture 1t should cost more to
produce a quart of milk. but it is not
logical that the retailer should get

A Good insectieide.

In recommending treatment for de-

ate of lead as an efficient insecticide.

amount Of lead required. Pour a gal
lon or so of the water on the lead and
stir the substance very thoroughly
