-And the suddenness OF it. will as
tonish him again! don't know Mr.
Folkstone from a bean-pole, but Tr
down on him. He's evidently come
to town to swell around and be a top
bud on a tree. When he came along
yesterday he was mincing like a
schoolgirl, and i hate a sissy man.
Get the hose ready and then find
something to do at the barn. That
plug hat is in for another ducking!"
Perhaps Mr.. Folkstone had two silk
nats-perhaps he had got the drenched
one ironed. At any rate, within half
an hour after Miss June was on
watch she saw 1t bobbing along above
the hedge again, and once more a
stream of water shot into the branch
es of a tree to come down like April
drops.
No threats from Mr.. Folkstone this
time. He simply opened the gate and
walked In, carrying his soaking hat In
mis- hand. He was smiling as he bowed
to the astonished girl
"You-you-" she began, but could
not finish. Mr.. Folkstone was no
swell. He was no cry-baby-no sissy.
He was a fine-figured, athletic young
man, and his face and voice showed
character.
Excuse me, please" he said with
a half-laugh and another bow, "but do
l speak to Miss June Freeman"
YES, sir"
II have letters of introduction to
YOU from several of your girl friends
in Boston. and others to your father
from business men. They are a bit
damp, and you must excuse it. I had
the misfortune to be caught In the
late shower!"
Miss June Freeman was called an
odd girl. She had done one odd thing
IN drenching stranger and believing
she disliked him, and now she did an
other by holding out one hand for the
letters and another for a shake and
saying:
II ought to be awfully ashamed OF
myself. and I am, but l am going to
face the music. beg thousand par
dons for my silly conduct, and II you
will call this afternoon I will make
further apologies"
He called and perhaps that was the
very best way the acquaintance could
have come about.

Licking the Wound.

Charles II. Duncan, New York, adj.
vances the view that in cases of sep
sis, vaccination can be accomplished
by administering by mouth to the pa
tient small amount of the dis
charge from his own wound. The
author cites as an example of nature
working by this method the fact that
animals lick their wounds and that
they never have septic wounds ex.
cept on the head. where they cannot
lick them. Autogenous vaccination by
the mouth tends to be curative in all
stages Of sepsis. but is especially
prompt in the earliest stages, when
the germs have not become virulent,
and In the later stages when the in.
fected area has been well walled of.
The author has used this method for
two and half years with good re.
suits He believes it is the simplest,
oldest and most natural method Of
curing wounds.-Medical Record.

WHAT We OWE TO WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makers
Of tho Home and Providers
Of Comfort.

Social progress with primitive wom-
en- was stimulated and encouraged by
their relation to home life, to dress
and to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
of the home or shelter. It Is the fe-
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that digs the burrow
FOR her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as a home for
hers. The human female more than
all the rest created her home. But
not only is this true, but she differen-
tiated the home, and all parts of the
most elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account.
The first homes were cheerless
caves. Fire could not be made IN
them because of the smoke, 50 wom-
en- sought out q cave with an opening
IN the rear, or rock shelter with a
high curved roof. When she became
q dweller in a tent she searched for
the oldest wood, learned the myste.
ries of the fuel problem and even in
vented the coral to induce the wind
to draw little Of the smoke there
from and to increase her comfort.
To the women of the household We
are indebted for the oven, the Chin
ney and the chimney corner, the
Kitchen. the dining room, the family
room, the separate bed chamber. II
has been a wonderful evolution, re-
sulting in comfort, taste and morality.

WORTHY OF HIS REPUTATION
Farmer Willing to Allow Cider to BE
Tested, But Only in Way He
Approved.

In all glorious New Jersey 1t is gen.
orally admitted there is no cider to
equal that of Farmer Marshall. But
he is notable for other things besides.
1t is said that he would very much
rather receive than give-in short,
that he is a stingy old rascal.
Young Peterson had heard this, but
he was young man who had consid-
cradle faith in his own powers Of pass
ing on the gentle hint, and to some
sportive companions he had boosted
that he would get a drink of cider out
of the old man without asking for 1t.
AS such a thing had never been known
TO happen in living memory there were
plenty OF takers and the next day Pc
terson drove over
Morning. farmer!" said he. Fine
orchard yoa have here"
''Ay." said the farmer.
They tell Inc, too, that you have a

Pretty good cider you get, sup

Not in your born days. Tom
ihis to his son--"get an draw a mug
o cider"
The luscious beverage was brought
and with smile of triumph young
Peterson held forth hfs hand to take

But the farmers hand got there
first. He drained the mug and then
handed 1t to the visitor.
"There!" he remarked. IF you think
you've ever met the like of that cider,
inst smell the mug!"

Great Britain Reviews Pro-

HER ATTITUDE UNCHANGED
State Department Informed That II
No Satisfactory Agreement Can Be
Reached With the United States
Arbitration VIII Be Asked.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Great Britain
has reaffirmed its protest against the
Panama canal bill. In a note filed
with the state department by A.
Mitchell Innes, charge of the British
embassy here, 1t was stated that il a
satisfactory agreement could not be
reached Great Britain would appeal
to The Hague tribunal for arbitration.
The note just submitted says Great
Britain will give careful consideration
to both the bill and the message Pres
ident Taft sent to congress relating to
discrimination in favor of American
coastwlse shipping. If, after due con-
sideration, 1t is found that no satis-
factory agreement can be reached in
the matter Great Britain declares that
1t will be necessary to appeal to arbi-
tration.
Mr.. Innes was instructed by his gov
ernment to file the protest 1t is a
brief note, stating merely that Great
Britain still stands in her previously
explained attitude in regard to the
Panama bill. The tone of the note
makes 1T appear that Great Britain
believes ii will be necessary to sub
NIT the question to arbitration.
One state department official de
clared he did not believe Great Brit
