What fine time I will have. 1 hope there is no brush, or weeds, in the river to get my fishhook caught, and not many branches over head for l always get the hook caught one way or another. You will know me when you see me coming, for will have a string of acorns round my neck and a fishpole over my shoulder. Do have one of your nice Johnnycakes baked, for l love them; and some nice pork fried. and I'll cook the fish. l roll the fish in fiouP-it is better than meal

I have heard say the woodbox was always empty, How is 1t at your house2 suppose there is plenty of wood; but the Idea is to keep the box full.

 We can't do too much good. I want to tell about my setting hens. I make nest for them and put 16 eggs under them. Under the hay 1 put cedar shavings or little tips of cedar boughs. If can set three at same time.
 When I feed my hens in the morning I throw eff all that's setting. Then they can waller, eat or drink In that way I am sure they get feed, Then l watch and see they are all in their places, and nine times out of ten they hatch every egg, and as soon as part are matched I take the rest and put in a basket of feathers and cloth over them until all are hatched Then l give them to the hen. In this way she won't leave the nest when half are out. Of course I feed them several times a day until l give them to their mother. As l take each chick I pick off a little tiny piece on end of bill. learned this from an old Scotch lady. She says they will not have gapes if you do it and t44tbl VI d4o AlAO4C l4AGtu Gu edAS dEO anu q havo never had one with gapes since tried it,
 A few years since I set a hen and when three weeks were up not one egg even pipped. They were due on Sun day. Tuesday was called out of town and l was so busy getting ready l for got my hen (of course I thought the eggs were N. O.. got back late Sat urday and heard a peep. 1 lifted BiddV and every egg was pipped and Sunday Gust four weeks from setting) every egg matched. If I had not made that trip l should have taken Biddy of and shut her up, thinking the eggf were N. c. Since then I have saved three broods of choice birds by letting them remain the four weeks.
 Why this was, 1 don't know, as they were all fresh eggs of my own saving This prize money, 50 cents I spent 1T Easter cards and stamps which I senG to old ladies and shut-ins and the bal ance will go in some way to make others cheery. Rest assured I shal pass it on for good.

cRUsoE SEES THINGS WHILE
 ABROAD.
WHILE

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Sp- cial Corner: After bidding my English friend 8 goodbye I took stroll down Broadway, New York, and was very strangely impressed with the chang es since my visit to the great metropolis four years ago. We have signs that will lead us either right or wrong-it depends much upon the fellow:
 Here are a few signs Crusoe saw at different stages of the rounds:
 Over a moving picture show: Young children must have parents"
 Tn 8 barber's shop window: During alterations patrons will be shaved in the back"
 Sign in Twenty third street store. Empty boxes-suitable for Easter gifts"
 In a tailor shop: I've dye for others. Why not dye for you?"
 At a foundry: Cast Iron Sinksi"
 Then I strolled into proof reom-by commissioned The Outlook, and there l saw a little of the up-to- date polit- ical dictionary. One could find enough there to entertain and make a horse laugh.
 More signs, of course. One item which amused Crusoe much was an up-to-d date definition of Roosevelt;
 EVELT-Common noun; first person-third term; masculine gender; plural number. (a) Co-discoverer with W. J. Bryan of the laws of perpetual candidacy. (b) A close first to George Washington in popularizing the lie. (c) Inventor of the famous political slogan of again. on again, run again, win again" (d) A modern prophet as usual. without honor among his own people,
 I had the pleasure-after leaving this part of the clty-to drift into the residential districts, where I discover ed an avenue leading off 12@th street to be the stronghold district of wom- ans rights. I had been presented with the daily paper, after arriving at a friends house. and almost the first thing I discovered in it was an adv. Ca sign). It read thus:
