A woman's Letter.

Women, 1t is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into q woman's letter
There is always yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of letter Just
as she employs glance or smile.
In a way that is carefully thought out.
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does woman's parasol
keep of the sun? Why, then, should
. woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed, just like the letters of some
honest grocer, who writes, I send you
five pounds Of Coffee because he
really does send you five pounds Of
coffee"

floor will give the animals greater
comfort and save much labor In

Theory Of Breeding.

The theory of breeding at Fillmore
Farm is very simple. Select the best
type of heifers and cows. and mate
them with the best bull of the breed
that money will buy; then give the
offspring the fullest opportunity to de-
velop in size and vigor, says the Bal
timore American. This simple plan
has resulted very satisfactorily up to
this time. and some Of the young
stock now coming forward, seem GER
tain to still further emphasize the
value of these simple ideas.

pa.teur,zsd Cream for Butter.

During recent years the pasteuriza-
tion Of cream for butter making seems
to be gaining favor in our best cream
cries. In fact. this practice has be-
come almost necessity in those To-
calities where cream of all kinds is
gathered from various sources. The
butter maker has come to realize that
II he Is to have control over his f1n-
ished product, SO that he shall have
some assurance 'of the constant and
uniform quality Of the output, he must
resort to means by which he can elm
mate the variable factors in his
cream, namely, those undesirable bac-
teria and disagreeable f1avors which
will develop later on and make their
presence manifest in the finished arti-
Gle. BY heating the cream from 40
degrees to 1S0 degrees F. and cooling

are destroyed and many OF the objec-

Feeding Helfers.

When heifers have reached an age
when they will thrive without milk,
they should have the best hay that
the farm affords, and some form of
succulent food such as ensilage or
roots. Oats are the best grain food to
use as party ration in feeding young
heifers from the time they are taken
from the skim-milk ration until they
are to be bred. There is no other
grain food superior to ground oats for

A typical old-time Circuit rider"
died recently in Alabama man
whose godly unselflsh life will long
be remembered. Many were the 60
centricities of this rugged old man,
and many anecdotes are current
among the Methodist ministers Of the
state concerning him. He was noted
for two things-his denunciation oe
sin in no uncertain tones. and tho
familiarity with which he addressed
the Lord in prayer.
On one occasion he had been preach
ing in log meeting house in the psny
woods Of north Alabama. There were
several young fellows on hand who
had been celebrating by patronizing
still hard by. After a long, fiery ser
mon. the preacher made call for
mourners, and soon the rude altar
was filled mostly by the afore-men-
toned young fellows. The old man
looked them over for a moment, and
with keen intuition felt that It was

Want New Bounty Law.

At meeting of the fish and game
commission In the House chamber at
the capitol. it was decided to have
Commissioner Thomas Holland draw
up draft Of a bounty bill and sub
NIT it to the Legislature in preference
to the measure already introduced by
Representative Mann. Mr.. Mann's
bill does not provide for the repeal
ing of the bounty law. in effect since
1898. Should Mann's measure pass
and become law, and the old law
still remain in force, it would enable
killers of predatory animals to col
lect double bounty-one bounty for
each law. It was also advocated to
make the fishing season from May 1st
to December 31st, instead Of as at
present, May 25th to November 30th.
Close season on ducks will be advised
and continuance of the present seas
ons on deer, except to shorten the
spring shooting season fifteen days.
1t was decided to bring these points
to the attention Of the Legislature and
ask for favorable action.

tigate the State Board of Stock Inspec-

passed In number of states and is in
tended to be uniform law in all

companies in Denver, was read by
Senator Hits urging the passage Of
the bill. The other bill makes changes

faltered, 1t is true, and his knees
trembled beneath him, and yet, slow
ly and with many pauses he made his
way forward.
He was horribly afraid all the time,
but curiosity was all the while over
towering fear. He was not more than
200 yards way when Csyley alighted
beside the girl.
At what he saw then, Roscoe
dropped his rife on the beach, with a
whispered oath, and rubbed his eyes.
The light which ditdsed itself from
the open window OF the hut vas not
much, but it was enough to reveal the
fact that this great man-bird, this
golden-winged spirit which had kept
him in terror for his own sanity all
these months, was taking off his wings
and folding them up into a bundle, in
as matter-of-fact a way as If he were
| furling an umbrella. He stood there
now, just an ordinary human figure
Of a man; the very man, in fact, that
he had seer before and would have
killed long ago had It not been for his
over-mastering terror Of the thing
with wings.
He presented a fair mark now, and
was In easy range. but Roscoe was too
thoroughly astonished to seize the op-
portunity, and In a moment 1t was
gone again, The two figures shrank
into the shadow of the hut, and the
next moment the light disappeared.

ly clear perception Of Roscoe's plan.
"The other way! The other way!"
he cried, motioning Jeanne back
through the storeroom. Into the
cave. He is waiting for us outside.
That's why he fired the hut. Quick.
We must save all we can"
And SO 1t happened that Roscoe
waited in vain. He saw the blaze he
had kindled reach its fiery climax,
and then in spite of the icy gale which
was tanning 1t, die down into an
angry, %sullen, smouldering glow. But
no man appeared to furnish a mark
for his waiting rife, and no woman
was delivered d~efenseless, shelterless,
into his british hands.
The failure Of his plan brought
back a moment or two Of the old sup
erstitious horror, but his mind was
braced against 1t now and did not
readily give way, Somehow, the fail
ure must be accountable-humanly ac-
countable.
At last he solved this mystery, too,
partly solved 1t, at least, for he re.
membered the ice cave back of the
hut His first impulse, when he
thought Of 1t, was to attack them
there and now, to charge in over the
red hot Goals Of the hut and settle
matters once and for all.

advantage would be all against him

Philip had been enjoying, he was,
again, the very man who, during those

He was returning from the ledge
along the crown Of the glacier, when,
on the day Of this discovery, he found
that his accustomed path a inter
rupted by a new assure in the ice; it
had occurred since he had come that
way In the morning, and was too
broad to leap across So he was forced
to descend by the rougher and more
difficult track which lay along the
moraine.
Before he had gone three PAGES

something, Just off his patch and a lit

to utter a snarl Of anger, but led him
the next moment to give a wild bias

in the ice had done, in an instant,

shoulders, just where he had carried

ing over the body, Jerking savagely
at the frozen buckles which resisted
his impatient fingers. But they were
not to be denied. If they were clum'
sy, the hands were strong.
It was not i've minutes later when
