Grocer chickens - grocer = chick

"Why-why-yes," replied an as

Sewing Made Easy.

Persons. with the store window habit
have found something to stare at in a
little notion store. Stretching across
the window are three strands of No.
40 white thread still attached to the
spools. Suspended from each thread
are twenty-five needles.
"My little daughter threaded them"
the storekeeper said. "They are a
wonderful convenience for people with
such poor eyes that they can't see to
thread their own needles. Here is a
whole bunch of them already threaded
and all the sewer has to do Is to un-
wind the thread until she has the de-
sired length for the first needle, then
slip the other needles along until 1t
comes their turn. Maybe in some
neighborhoods that contrivance
wouldn't be appreciated very highly,
but here 1t is a real blessing. Within
a few blocks Of the store are three
old ladies' homes. The old ladies like
to sew, but they have found 1t impos-
sible to keep their needles threaded.
Now that Job is already done fo:
them for the original cost Of the
needles and thread. New York

Spanish Soil Yields 1856 an Acre.


The most intensively cultivated re-
gion in Europe is that part OF the
province of Valencia, Spain, which
lies between the mountains and the
Mediterranean. 1t has rainfall Of
only about seventeen inches a year.
but SO fertile is the soil and so skilled
are its workers that it produces crops
worth an average of $656 an acre, ac-
cording to a report sent to Washing
ton by Consul Robert Frazer, Jr.
There are districts, he says, where
100 acres support 160 families, and
where single families live on the prod
uct of four-tenths of an acre. Farms
are rented for $3.50 an acre, and the
tenant pays as cents an hour for
pumped water, which flows in a
stream of 200 gallons per minute.
Almost all farming is done by hand,
as minute attention is given to crops
and even to individual plants. The av-
erage production of the principal
crops is as follows, in metric tons of
1904 pounds Oranges, 100000 tons |;
olives, $4,000; carob beans, $4,000;
peanuts, 1880; melons, $4,000;
grapes, $1,000; peppers, 10000; toma.
toes, $4,000; wheat, $4,000; barley, 49,.
900; corn. $4,000; rice. 100000.

ADVICE MANY MIGHT FOLLOW
"Live Suddenly" Said Mrs. Brown to
Friend, and Results Amply
Justified the Counsel.

Mrs. Brown went in to see Mrs
Smith. whom she found, tired and
pale, trying to sew with the baby on
her lap.
life does seem hard" Mrs. Smith
said, after a little ordinary conversa-
ton; i've just had letter from my
sister wanting me to come there for
fortnight and bring the baby. 1t
looks like heaven to only think of 1t,
but, of course, I can't CO."
"Why not 7" asked Mrs. Brown.
"Oh, 1t would be perfectly impos-
sible There's the sewing and the
cleaning, besides everything else.
I've got to stay here
Suppose you died suddenly-what
then2"
20, then, of course they'd just have
to get along somehow"
"Then why not live suddenly, and
let them get along somehow, just the
same?"
Mrs. Smith stared.
Give suddenly" she said. "Why, I
never heard Of such thing!"
But, nevertheless, Mrs Brown man.
aged to get her to do it, and the next
week she went off for fortnight and
didn't come back for month.
What happened at home was like a
miracle.
Elsie and Amy, whom their mother
never allowed to take the least care,
took all the care and made father and
the boys have a regular picnic. The
boys turned in and helped clean the
house. Mrs. Brown cut out the sew
ing and showed the girls how to
do 1t.
Tho whole family took hold exactly
as they would have done had the
wife and mother been suddenly
snatched away.
Only, as she wass just suddenly
alive" instead, there was Joy instead
of sorrow, looking ahead, instead of
looking backward.
And then what Homecoming, with
the baby rosy and all its back teeth
out and mother not tired, not pale
not fidgety, not nervous.
Really and truly alive for the first
time in years. What a stupid lot OF
bigs children we are, anyway, fumbline
over dirty old methods, when the new
ones are showing clean, smiling
faces everywhere! Here's to no more
necessary people dying suddenly
Let's all Give suddenly" and be hap
by forever after.-The Nautilus.

They Look at the Boys Hands

The boy in search of a job turned
up at suppertime at his sisters
house, looking rather disconsolate
"I didn't get nothing to do" he
said shortly.
II don't wonder, if you used that
kind of grammer," said his sister.
"That wasn't it; / had my COM
pany grammer on all right; twas

about it after supper. You'd spring

was beckoned into the sitting room
Immediately after rising from the
table, and once there the door was
shut by his wife's youthful brother
who turned and said: II went to
fourteen different places to-day,
Jim, and was turned down at every
shot. I've read about such things
in the Sunday-school books and in
the funny papers, but thought it
was all CAB. The guys I applied to

first thing four of them says was,

others says, please let us look at
your hands. There was one look
and four of them says, Cit, and
the rest says, polite like, "we don t
think we require your service.
"What was the matter?" asked
the sisters husband.
The boy held up the forefnger Of
his left hand, along the inner side
of which yellow stain showed as
far as the second knuckle. "That, )"
he said simply.
"Hum," said the brother-in-law,

II have. I quit last night. One
of the guys that said git called
me back just as l got to the eleva-

"There's some things worse than
cigarette smokin," he says.

Then he grinned a little, and said l
might not be such a liar after all,
but it was a fact that many men
had quit hiring cigarett kids. Then
he says, You're sure you quit last
night, are you? Well you come
back again in a week and show me
