FATHER QUIETS THE FLUTE
And Horace's Musical Ambition is Nip
ped in the Bud.

1t was an evil day when Horace finish
ed getting enough subscriptions to the
Boys Companion by working his rab-
bit foot on the neighbors, for as soon as
he had secured five subscriptions Horace
added 40 cents to the collections, per ad
vertisement, and got flute.
1t was never intended either by Ma
ture or the Goddess of Music that Horace
and a flute should be combined.
They mixed and mingled and accord
ed about as nicely as lead bullet dis
integrates and dissolves in skim milk.
But for many weeks Horace had
dreamed of that flute with all the feryor
of dreams that inhabit the somnolent
brainpan of 15-year-old boy with must
cal aspirations.
Horace wouldn t have admitted it for
the world, but within his narrow chest
his heart beat high with hopes, born of
visions of himself, clad in irreproach-
able evening dress, standing on a stage
brilliantly lighted and playing to a
crowded house that applauded until the
canvas flies tapped in the breeze of
their approval. The flute was included
in the picture.
1t was fine flute, worth probably
rs cents. The pasteboard box said it
was made of cocobolo wood, but you
could take a pin and scratch through
the cocobolo to the yellow poplar be-
meath. Also it was bound with massive
German silver bands.
Horace tried the flute at once. His
mother, who was in the act of lifting
the lid off the soup kettle, forgot what
she was doing and dropped the lid with
a crash as the steam rose and scalded
her.
She descended upon Horace, her fin
gers wrapped in her apron, which, as
any woman knows, is the remedy for in
jury.
"What-in-th name all-that -good-and
wonderful she said, care you making
that awful noise abouta And what's
that you we got in your hand?'
1t s my flute, " said Horace proudly.
"Well, take it and flute somewhere
else," said Horace S mother with de-
cision. Horace went sorrowfully toward
the barn and sat upon key. He essay
ed Coming Thro' the Rye
Old Sam, the faithful family horse,
had been doing in his stall. He had
been dreaming of days gone by. Then
it happened.
With a snort Sam arose, trembling in
every limb, and with one leap broke
his halter rope, dashed through the
stable, smashed across the wood pile,
and breaking through wire fence, dis
appeared with supplemental snorts down
the road.
Horace looked about him guiltily.
Clearly the old horse was getting ner-
vous. But sturdily he set to work to
learn "Coming Thro' the Rye
The sound brought Horace S father
out of the lot where he was setting fence
posts The echoes of Coming Thro'
The Rye died away. Horace's father
approached with steady step.
His extended hand was steady. His
eyes were steady. His jaw was steady,

He took the flute, walked to the door,

the girls must be led to constantly APP

by ANALYSIS All the refuse is collected
weighed, analysed, and the amount OF
the several nutrients which It is found
to contain is subtracted from the amount
Of the corresponding nutrients fed.
A good idea Of the stalls used IN these
experiments may be obtained from the
illustration, They are made OF proper
length and breadth, so that the animals
may lie down comfortably, but not wide
enough to permit hem to turn around
The experiments developed the fact
that animals scour badly when fed
prickly pear alone: besides, other feeds
are needed to supply the proper amount
of proteids. For these reasons 1t is
better not to feed II alone.
When prickly pear is fed with cured
folders or grains the digestibiIity OF
both Is increased. In feeding a mixed
ration of prickly pear and alfalfa, or
prickly pear and cotton seed meal. the
general effect is to increase the dfgesti-
bility Of all three feeds.
If the ration of prIckly pear will in
crease the digestibility of all feeding
Stunts. as 1t apparently does that of al
falfa and cotton seed meal then this
feed has greater value than is shown
by its own digestible nutriments. The
probabilities are that the addition Of
this green and sCSculent feed to any
dry feeding stun will increase the diges-
tibility OF both.
During the experiments the animals
being tested. when fed prickly pear alone,
seldom drank water. In fact, In feed
ing q ration of 100 pounds Of this feed
per day the animal obtained frona the
feed over eight gallons of water, which
Is more than was usually drunk by
them when fed cured folders alone
A ration for a 1.0OO-pound mich cow
of 80 pounds of prickly pear, 10 pounds
of wheat bran. and 10 pounds OF alfai-
IA, would furnish about the correct theo-
retical amount of nutriments.
In the prickly pear region OF Texas a
ration consisting of this feeding stun
with cotton seed meal is very common.
It Is customary and better to give the
cattle either the run of dry grass
pasture or some coarse fec in connec-
ton with this ration. as IT will serve
the double purpose of widening the too
narrow ration produced from too much
cotton, seed meal and tend to check the
securing which results from the use OF
these two alone.

In order to determine the digestioility
of the priclxly pear and thus guide the
feeder in the preparation of rations from
this plant, extensive Investigations have
recently been made in Texas, New
Mexico and other southwestern states
The principle of conducting diges-
ton experiment is very simple. First,
the animal is fed the feeding stuff the

1851, when q young man named Cla-

declaration Of Holy Writ" The young
woman was a school teacher, and left
her country home to go to the school
where she was engaged. good many
days elapsed before her people became
uneasy as TO her absence without any
letter from her. She was traced to the
city of Richmond. and to a boarding
house where young man. afterwards
identified as Cluvenius, was seen to
leave the boarding house with her.
Among her effects at home were found
some letters from him to her. and il
was evident from the letters that she
had compromised herself-and the search
for him was as persistent as in other
directions.
The body was dragged from deep
reservoir, and II was evident that she
had been choked and flung in-before
she was dead. In her corpse hand there
were tufts of grass and mud-that
showed she had been drowned as well
as choked.
There had been violent struggle on
the rim of the reservoir, and there was
found watch charm which had been
recognized as worn by Cluverius. That
watch charm and those letters convinced
the jury that Cluverius had a motive
for numbering the young woman-who
was before long to become a mother.
The watch charm had been wrung on
by some one in the scuffle on the spot
where the Madison girl was pushed into
the reservoir. Everything else was cir
