LITTLE RUsE DIDN'T SUCCEED
Youngsters Scheme Was All Right,
but Economical Father Was a
Match for Him.

The proprietor of the most promi-
nent hotel in the town of s.. KY,
is man of a very economical ma
tqre. in fact he is an )extremist In
this feature. He has six-year-old
red-headed son that didn't inherit his
fother's economical disposition. Re-
Gently the son was very much in need
of five-cent piece for soda water
purposes. He went into the dining
room, where he was free from obser-
walton, and removed his shoe Strings
and placed them in his hip pocket for
future reference. Returning to the
office he approached his father and
said:
PA, give me nickel to get me a
pair of shoe strings"
His father glanced down at his
sons shoes, then turning around ap-
preached the Office safe and opened
it in silence. He took out the cash
box and raising the lid extracted a
pair of new shoe strings, which he
handed to his son without word.
The youngster took the strings with a
crestfallen air and then to the amuse-
ment of the onlookers, exclaimed:
-Stung again, by granny"

cerely and James now declared that
he hated the very smell of the stuff.
These two things stood to Genevieve
in the relation of cause and effect.
And this was the exact moment chos-
en- by James in which to ask her to
marry him.
When James and Genevieve came
back from their honeymoon, the happy
bridegroom was warmly congratulated
by his many friends. When he went
home to Genevieve the first evening
he said, "M'darling' assure you moth
ingwrong -hatetastestuff."
All the years that James was COM
ing home to Genevieve perfectly sober
-er-that is, sober at least three
evenings out Of the week, Genevieve
was thinking with some pride that if
he would only straighten up, he
would show those friends of his who
had so far outdistanced him in the
race-because, really, said Genevieve
to herself, James was far the ablest Of
them all. It was nothing but his dis
astrous habits that stood in his way.
And at last the day dawned when
ly looked like and decided that the
time had come when he must straight
en- UP and leave behind his boyish
ways. So he Strengthened up. Imme-
diately? Yes, Immediately. Was it an
awful struggle? No, it was not an
awful struggle
He was sick week or SO and felt
that was about all. Because the truth
is that it is not such an awful strug-
gle, as a rule The truth is that
James and John and William and
Charles are not often in earnest when
they say they want to stay on the wa
ter wagon, so they cheerfully fall of
again.
Their wives think they are? Yes,
but their wives only see them when
they are depressed and down in the
mouth. The minute James and the
rest of them get outdoors, they are
different men,
You don't believe it? Well, you ask
your brother about 1t. Genevieve, my
dear, and watch what he says.
Well, when James really made up
his mind to quit he just quit And
the saddest point of the story is right
here-he never did astonish the world.
He never set the river on fire, he
never did thing except to continue
to make rather a shabby living for
Genevieve.
She had reformed him, but the re-
form was about all there was left. AS
Genevieve sometimes said to herself,
TT seems rs If he were only a ghost
only ghost"
AS he was a perfectly commonplace
ghost at that, perhaps Genevieve did
not have much Of a run for her money
after all.

The Genevieve Who Married
to Reform Him

When a. woman marries a man to re-
form him she fails to take into con-
sideration that by the time she has
got 1t done there will be nothing left
but reform-the man will be entirely
rotted away.
James was a delightful man with
only one bad habit. 1t was the habit
which most women call bad habits"
He was a real estate man, was James,
and his bad habits were very active
right after he had cinched deal. He
cinchsd deal rather so often-per-
haps-
Genevieve met James at a club
party, according to the commonplace
wont Of things, and he was very nice
to her. She was nice little thing,
and he got into the habit of driving
out rather often to her fathers home
on the very edge of the town. It is
not too much to say that Genevieve
fell in love with him. James fell in
love with her, too. Then he went
driving out to see Genevieve very
often and was allowed to stay to sup
per, and he and Genevieve had q love
~ time on the veranda in the moon
light.
Then, as cool weather came on, he
was rather busy and fell from grace,
as usual, when he cinched deal And
at last, at party. Genevieve saw him
when he had fallen from grace. He
was bit above himself, and, besides.
she danced with him and noticed
something about his breath.
Next morning big brother said, "Jim
had lovely souse on last night, didn't
he? But he certainly had nerve to
dance with you. You should have
turned him down"
Genevieve gasped bit. Then she
said, 'He was nothing Of the kind,
and 1 don't thank you" And then she
ran to her big, pretty, pink and white
room and got down upon her knees
and cried and cried. Then, when she
could get her breath, she remembered
his; and then she prayed for Jim very
sincerely and very girlishly, and felt
better.
She entirely failed to pray for her
self, because she had not yet found out

that she was the person who really
needed that attention.
James came out in a. few days,
sober and in his right mind. He knew
how bad he had been, and he sup
posed she did, too, so he told her ne
was not fit to speak to her, but he was
going ITO be a man now, and would
she forgive him? And Genevieve said
he must be a man for her sake, and
she would forgive him, because she
was sure he was repentant and would
never fall again.
When James went back to the club
the next night he lifted restraining
palm to his friends and said: Never
again! I'm on the water wagon Tor
keeps" And his friends laughed, be-
cause they had climbed on the water
wagon themselves at the bidding OF
nice girl.
About Christmas Genevieve had
shock. James was doing great bust
ness and, besides, it was the blessed
holiday season. He was to dine with
them on christmas, and when he ar
rived rather late In the afternoon, ne

Genevieve cried her eyes out that
night down on the floor beside her

Value of Alr-SIsked Lime.

Not enough Importance is placed on
the value of good air-slaked lime fol
use in the poultry house and on the
runs. Properly used, the lime is OF
great sanitary value. It will counter
act disagreeable odors. A free use
of air-slaked lime ON chicken runs
where gaps prevail is exceedingly
beneficial. It's use no doubt also de-
stroys other germs and bacilli. The
