A gentleman whose appare

alighted from a train at a railway
station and leaving his belong
ings, set out on a road leading tc
an attractive country place. Oh
reaching the gateway, aanket
by stone pillars, he noticed OF
one of them a sign. No Tres
passing.
He proceeded up the wall
toward the house and, reaching
a terrace where through trees he
could see an attractive vista, sat
down on the grass took out g
cigarette and began to smoke
He was aroused by a feminine
voice behind him.
Did you not see the notice thai
no trespassing is allowed on
these groundsF
The gentleman arose and IN
covered with ceremonious polite
ness.
I did, he said.
Then I do not understand why
you should avail yourself OF the
place for loafing'
To tell the truth, I have a
strong prejudice such notices
Why so?1
For several reasons. Firstly,
/ question the natural right OF
any one to appropriate to his or
her exclusive use any portion OF
the planet. But this is based on
philosophic principles too deep
to enter upon just now. Second
ly, there is, I think, selfshness
in refusing others the enjoyment
of attractive and restful grounds.
Perhaps if you owned a place
like this and saw persons camp
ing on it and injuring things you
would feel differently.
That wonld not alter the case,
as / have stated it. I am capable
of putting myself in your place
and can appreciate you feeling:
Oh, we don't own the place;
we merely rentit.
What kind Of a person is the
owner?
I don't know, never having
seen him, He is a noble, good
man.
Is he handsome.
Why do you ask that?
A Woman's idea of q man is
often Influenced by such matters.
A trife of indignation flashed in
her eye: I assure you, she said,
that it is a very much more
valuable trait than physical
beauty that has prejudiced me
in favor of Mr.. Chenowoth.
ChenoWoth! That's an uncom.
mon name. I am in very close
touch with a man of that name.
Our Mr.. ChenoWoth is abroad.
That's where I met my Mr..
Chenoworth.
He's been travelling in Switzer-
land. We had a letter from him
dated Geneva yesterday. He
was to sail Immediately for
America.
I made an ascent of Mont
Blanc with my Mr.. Chenowoth
not a month ago.
What's your friends first
name?
Bert.
Albert9 Our landlord is
Albert B.
That's it-Albert Borland
ChenoWoth.
Isn't that strange that you
should know him so wellP Now,
are you surprised that I have
spoken so highly Of him?
I certainly am surprised. I
never saw anything in him to
warrant such an encomium.
You dldntf You are not very
loyal to your friend.
/ didnot say he was any
especial friend of mine.
You said you are in very close

sarily mean that I admire him.
But I am open to conviction. If
you viii give me your reasons
for your own admiration you
succeed in planting it in me.
Perhaps we had better 60 up

Dangers From Barley.

In some of the western states, and
particularly in Colorado. barley is
raised to considerable extent
From the standpoint of food value,
barley contains trifle less nitro
genous or muscle building material
than oats and trifle more. than
corn.
The grain is fed either whole or
ground. In some localities this
ground barley is called barley chop.
Barley chop, when fed to grow
ing and fattening pigs, usually COM
bined with ground corn and milk,
proves very excellent feed.
Ground barley combined with
other feed has been reported as ex-
cellent feed for the dairy COW.
To horses it is sometimes fed
whole or ground alone or mixed
with oats or wheat bran. While from
a nutritive standpoint we must COM
mend it, yet there is danger in feed
ing 1t to work horses.
If through some cause normal di-
gestion, either in the stomach or
large intestines, stops an unnatural
fermentation takes place. Gases are
sometimes formed in the stomach
which SO distend that organ that
rupture may take place before
the veterinarian can use a
stomach tube. Belching indicates
that the stomach is greatly distended
with gas. In the large intestines this
same process may go on. Tapping
to allow the escape of gas and
drugs to stop the fermentation often
does not act quickly enough. There is
also another phase, and that is in
the process of splitting up the food
substances, Gn addition to gas
formed), which when absorbed poi
sons the tissuse, weakens the heart.
and death follows. The gasses are
likewise absorbed, and also do dam
age which may be irreparable.
Only quick action can save these
cases, and then not all. In addition
to ruptured stomach often inflamma-
tion of The bowel is noted Other
changes in the vital organs are also
noted

Lo! The cantaloupe!

Basking in it's bed of gauzy tissue,
or lolling indolently in pyramids of
it's own kith and kin, the lying, de-
ceitful cantaloupe is again in our
midst. says the Cincinnatti Enquirer.
Seductively it flaunts it's crinkled
surface mottled in green, olive and
yellow, and hidden wealth of flavor
and fragrance.
Trust her not. She is fooling
thee
No such extravaganza of deceit and
untruth was ever encompassed in SO
small space. 1t is a lure of lies
and unfulfilled promises, driving man
kind to wrath and dire expletive.
Man goes forth to buy joyously and
in hopeful expectation of gustatory
delight, only to consume in despair
and sorrow The cantaloupe is ever
an unfulfilled promise.
And yet, if perchance, as the dusky
diamond digger ,once in a generation
or lifetime, unearths from the blue
greatly favored by fortune, a child
of destiny, luckily plucks from the
sordid piles of promise a melon in
which the elements have mingled and
blended sweetness and fragrance and
perfection, he forgives and forgets
and becomes again slave to the
lure of the cantaloupe.
And SO he will go on through all
his years. The remembrance of that
morning, when, in the midst of snowy
linens and sparkling silver he
breathed for a moment the exotic fra
GRANGE of pale green fruit embrac-

so often denouctd that lis eveils are
well known. The present criticism
is directed against tight neckwear.
LIZ shiA- reaard men are as often at
fault as woman-in summer, indeed,
more often. Actual compression of
the windpipe is not the only way in
which death by strangulauon may
be caused. The immediate cause
may be congestion of the brain and
perhaps apoplexy, the result OF cut
ting off the return circulation of the
blood in the veins of the neck.
But man need not die In order 70
experience the evil effect of tight
collars. the bad effects come much
sooner and much more readily than
death. Many persons suffer from
more or less frequent headaches,
disturbances of vision, attacks of
dizziness, and other disagreeable all
ments due entirely to the construction
of the neck by collars that are too
small or stocks that bind.
The veins of the neck are near the
surface, and it takes little force to
compress them enough to interfere
with the current OF blood.
In men, the trouble occurs more
often in those with short necks, for
it IS the pressure of the lower edge
of the collar that interiors most with
the blood stream. Obviously, there-
fore, the nan with the "giraffe" neck
will suffer least. However, any
tightness is bad. Not infrequenllv
the tight neck band of the pajamas
or the nightshirt may do almost as
much harm as the stiff collar.
Some cases of persistent insomnia
have been due to congestion of the
brain from this cause, and have
been promptly relieved by leaving
the top button of the night dres!
