BEST WAY OF
FEEDING GRIT
Hens are Best Judges of What
They Need and Should BIO
Allowed to Help
Themselves.

CBy ROBERT 5. GRAhD
A woman of western Pennsylvania
says that many of her young laying
hens died last winter and she attrib'
utes the trouble to mixing grit with
the feed as she had been told to do.
There is some difference of opinion
as to feeding grit. 1t is true that
when hens on a range pick up their
feed they always get with 1t con-
siderable amount Of grit. but we
doubt whether it is wise to force grit
upon them when I'm confinement.
II grit is provided in boxes. the
hens Will usually use as much as is
necessary for their health, and 1t ap'
pears to us that this is the natural
way OF taking grit.
1t might be well to mix grit with
the feed IL we knew exactly how
much would be needed for the health
of the birds; but as they are the best
judges OF this matter we think II
much better to provide grit in boxes
and allw them to help themselves.

Grimm. 1T doesn't happen that you
opened It and sealed 1t again?"
Senior Rodriguez stood staring at
him blankly for moment, then some
sudden apprehension was aroused, for
n startled look came into his eyes. and
again he reached for the packet.
"Dios mio!" he exclaimed. ''let me
see, Senor'
Going to open IT." asked Mr..
Grimm.
Yes. Senior. I had not thought Of 1t
before"
Mr.. Grimm rose and walked over to
the window where the light was bet
ter. He scrutinized the sealed packet
closely. There were three red
splotches of wax upon 1t, each i'm
pressed with the legation seal; the en-
velope was without marks otherwise.
He turned and twisted 1t aimlessly,
and peered curiously at the various
seals, after which he handed 1t to the
frankly impatient diplomatist.
Senior Rodriguez opened 1t. with
nervous, twitching fingers. Mr.. Grimm
had turned toward the safe again. but
he heard the crackle of parchment as
some document was drawn out of the
envelope, and then came a deep sigh
of relief. Having satisfied his sudden
fears for the safety Of the paper, what
ever 1t was, the senior placed It in an
other envelope and sealed 1t again
with elaborate care. Mr.. Grimm
dropped into the swivel chair at the
desk
"Senor," he inquired pleasantly.
your daughter and Miss Thorne were
in this room yesterday afternoon?
YES" replied the diplomatist as II
surprised at the question.
What time. please?"
About three o'clock. They were
going out driving. Why7"
And Just where, please. did you
find that handkerchief" continued
Mr.. Grimm.
Handkerchief" repeated the dip
lomatist. You mean Miss Thorne's
handkerchief" He paused and re-
garded Mr.. Grimm keenly. Senior.
what am l to understand from that
question:"
1T was plain enough" replied Mr..
Grimm. Where did you find that
handkerchief" There was silence for
an instant in this room?"
Yes" replied senor Rodriguez at
last.
Near the safe7" Mr.. Grimm per-
sisted.
Yes came the slow reply. again.
Just here" and he indicated spot
a little to the left Of the safe.
And when did you find It? Yester-
day afternoon? Last night? This morn
ing?"
This morning." and without any
apparent reason the diplomatist's face
turned deathly white.
But, Senor-Senor. you are mis-
taken, There can be nothing. A
woman. Two hundred pounds OF
gold! Senor!"
Mr.. Grimm was still pleasant about
it: his curiosity was absolutely imper-
sonal: his eyes. grown listless again.

face.

Rev, Nc Fadden of Western Nebraska
who has been visiting his nephew, j..
r. McFadden, pastor OF the M. e
church of Chanute, preached "a very
able sermon at McCabe Chapel, last
Sunday afternoon, TO the satisfaction
of everyone. We learn that he has
now returned to his home ia Western
Nebraska.
There has lately been considerable
talk of enlarging the McCabe Chapel
NJ. E church, on South Highland and
East Fourteenth Street. This is
greatly needed, as the growth of the
Sunday School has almost rendered IL
impossible for the building to accom-
modate the attendance.
Lester HurndeD, the young man
who was hurt In The runaway by the
delivery team of the Smith Grocery
wagon, is getting along very nicely but
is crippled so badly that it will be long
time before he will ever be able to do
any work or even TO walk.
A young man giving his name as
Tom Wendall, and claiming to live In
Missouri, was last Friday arrested on a

DR.. Crumbine and tn
Boy Scouts

A letter from boy scout in Weir
City to Dr., Crumbine Offering to form
an anti fly brigade has opened field
Of vast magnitude 10 the swat-the-hY
campaign. DR.. Crumblne at once
adopted the suggestion, following 1t
up with letter to the secretary at
New York of the national fly COM
mittee of the Civil league proposing
the enlistment Of the entire Boy
Scout forces of the United States 10
the anti-fy crusade. The Boy Scouts
will tackle something of their size
and worthy of their steel. The fly Is
small but numerous. A single ny
carries about with him capabilities OF
injury to the human family that are
appalling, when you hear the micro
scopist tell about it. Aud when it is
considered that the fly population of
this country exceeds the number OF
trees in Kansas, if not In the entire
Union, it follows that the human race
would he exterminated by the flies
within single generation, if 1t were
not for counter agencies which p e
serve 1t from annihilation.
DR.. Crumbine's suggestion puts up
to the Boy Scout movement an OppoI
tunity of real service to public health
They could not engage in better war
than for the determination Of the
pestiferous house fly by all means at
their command, and If they take ur
this challenge they will do something
for their country in good earnest.

Here and There

People who think are the ones who
act first.
No man works we'll who does not
work cheerfully.
You can never become contented
without being thankful.
When you have hard work to do,
sing while you are doing IL.
While few women are able to write
for magazines, all can write for cata-
logue.
Reputation is what men and women
think of us; character Is what God
knows of US.
1t is never hard to do the right
thing. 1t is deciding to do where the
tug comes in.
A lie travels by aeroplane, while
truth travels along with tagging step,
and yet it finally arrives.
One man may oe-as good as another,
but the world we live in don't believe
it. Money is what talks, and 1t is
the only thing that does talk above a
whisper. Moreover, when it talks,
everybody listens.
There are ten things for which no
one has ever been sorry. Tbese are:
For doing good to all; for speaking
evil of none; for hearing before
judging; for thinking before speaking;
for holding an angry tongue; for being
kind to the distressed; for asking
pardon for all wrongs; for being
patient toward everybody for stopping
the ears to a tale-bearer; for dis
believing most Of the i'll reports

Last Monday night the Chanute

annual banquet. An innovation was
adopted this year, that seemed good.
For the first time the ladies were
invited to participate, and there
.eemed to be about as many fair ones
present as there were men. The
banquet was held in the large skating
rink aud it was filled to capacity.
About 500 tickets were sold. Several
very appropriate and interesting talks

Girls

An exchange says: "Girls, don't
lower yourselves in the estimation of
the young men by being everybody's
girl. It's all right and natural that
the girls should have 'felow" but
don't 60 gaddIng about with every boy
that may ask you to 90 just because
he asks you: in SO doing YOU will

young men. us a young girls am

entitled to the best If she can get him,
and she is the right kind of a girl;
but it doesn't make any difference
how good she is, she loses the respect
ofeveryone when she ge s"ooy struck"
and goes gadding about with every
lobster that asks her to go. When
she cultivates such actions she loses
her dignity, and That is the most
important rudimentS of being a lady.
The average young man hasn't res
pect for the girl who goes gadding
about with every Tom, Dick and
Harry who will loosen up his purse
strings, and girl with that DISPOSE
ton will soon be marked for the bar
gain counter and when she marries,
If she ever does, it will invariably be
her last chance, for no young man
with ambition wants gadding, gos-
siping, giddy girl for life companion.
The same may be said of the young
men. No true young lady wants tc
marry a young man who wants to
make love to every piece OF calico he
meet. Such man is not worthy of
a>good woman. An honest and true
woman is the most beautiful creature
on the earth, but of every body's girl,
beware"
