A charming young gentleman,
about 4 years of age, used to pass
a certain lady's house every day
on his way to kindergarten. In
the course of time she made his
acquaintance and gave him a
penny each morning.
Eventually his mother request
ed her not to give him any more
money and the next morning she
did not present the usual penny.
He did not seem to notice the
omission. The succeeding day,
when the penny was not given to
him, he said nothing. But on the
morning of the third day, when
the penny was not forthcoming,
he sided up to her andwhispered:
Say, Mrs. Jones, what's the
matter?' Is your husband out of
work."

SIMPLE SOLUTION

~ SIMPLE SOLUTION
The story is told of an army
examiner who once had before
him a stupid candidate. The can
didate being, apparently, unable
to answer the simplest questions,
the examiner finally grew most
impatient, and in a burst of sar-
casm demanded:
Let it be supposed, sir, that
you were captain in command
of infantry; that in your rear was
an impossible abyss; that on both
sides of you there rose perpendic-
ular rocks of tremendous height;
that in front of you lay the enemy
outnumbering you ten to one.
What, sir, in such an emergency
would you do?"
Sir" responded the applicant
for military distinction, 81 should
resign"

ly imported from Europe to be sold
for several times the price they bring
in European countries. The demand
for pheasants is Increasing.
= Ringnecl1 pheasants have long been
established n Oregon, Washington
ana British Columbia, and are less
common in the wild state in Massachu-
sets, New York, Indiana and Kansas.
Efforts to accllmatize pheasants in
the United States are of comparative
ly recent origin. though earlier than
is popularity supposed.
The few pheasant stomachs ex-
amined Indicate that these birds are
very fond of grain. Oats and wheat
composed about3 per cent. OF the food
Of 10 ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and S2.5 per
cent. Of the stomach contents of two
English pheasahts from British Co.
lumbia. But all of these birds We're
taken in September, October and De-
cember; hence it is probable that all
of this grain was waste The next
largest item Of food in these stomachs
was insects, consisting entirely of lar.
vac of March. flies. One stomach con.
tanned no fewer than $50 of these lar
vac and another 4S2 Tie remainder
OF the food Rludcd acorns, pine seeds,
I browse, pc rose hips, lupine, bur
clover, blaNS mustard and chick
weed.
1 From 200 TO $50 kernels of wheat
and oats were taken by various birds;
about 200 peas wero found in one
stomach, but 1t was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
! refuse of the harvest. Twenty-three
.acorns and 200 pine seeds were taken
| by the birds which ate the largest
!! amount of mast, and about 500 cap
sules of chitkweed, containing more
than 5000 seeds, were in,the stomach
of the best Weed seed eater.

NEW INDUSTRY IN PHEAsANTs
Interest Becoming Widespread and
Thousands Of Birds Now Scattered
Throughout Country.
By w. L. M,ArEE.)

Conservation Of the fauna including
the game birds of the United States
requires the strict enforcement OF
laws intended to control the shooting
and marketing Of wild birds, and nee
essarily limits both the period during
which they may be hunted and the
number available to supply the in
creasing demands of those who desire
hose table luxuries.
This lack may be remedied by the
product of aviaries, preserves, and
private parks, devoted to rearing of
domesticated game, the marketing OF
which under suitable safeguards is
already permitted in several Of the
states, indicating that American mar
kets will open more and more to
these domesticated substitutes to the
fast disappearing wild game.
| At present there is no lack Of de-
mand for pheasants for various pur-
poses. Owners Of private preserves,
and state game officials, pay profitable
| prices for certain species for stocking
their covers, geological and city parks
and owners of private aviaries are
ready purchasers of the rarer and
more beautiful species, and large

Wheat Production.

According to the Crop Reports
every state west Of the Mississip-
piexcept California, Iowa, Louis
lana, Arkansas and Texas, pro-
dnces more wheat than it con.
sumes. On the other hand,
every state east Of the MISSISSIPPI
pi, save Delaware, will this year
consume more wheat than it pro
duces. The surplus wheat croE
for the whole country amounts
to 1874 LIZ million bushels. Las
!. year the surplus was only 45 mil
lion bushels.

The Camels REGULARITY.

The camel alone among ami
mails does not perspire with its
entire skin. 1t perspires only in
the back of the neck and so when
travelling in extreme heat does
not rexuire a continual supply of
water in order to replace the
moisture evaporated through the
pores. A curious consequence
of this sigularity is the fuctua-
ton within four degrees of the
blood temperature of a healthy
camel that is, a rise of temper
allure of four degrees, which in
a human being and in other
mammals would be the sign of
fever, is a normal function with
the camel. New York Sun.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. Every
business man in the country, and
many in foreign countries, are
taking stock Of the probabilities
Of democratic legislation.
Farmers and fruit growers are
essentially business men, and the
action of Congress IS likely,t az:
feet them in a marked degree.
They showed that they had a
lively idea of the importance sof
natural legislation at the time the
Canadian reciprocity treaty was
under discussion. Now the tariff
issue has a much broader as
pect.
Each farmer will, it is assum-
ed, settle for himself the ques.
ton whether he wants the tariff
reduced, and if SO, on what ar
ticles. 1t is time that he should
make sure of his position on this
matter, and having done.so, com.
municate his ideas to his Congress
man and Senator. Congress, it is
to be presumed, is going to do as
nearly as possible what the peo-
pie want If you think the cleo
ton of a democratic administers
ton means the cuttingof thetar-
iif on grain, fruits and yege-
tables, on cattle pigs and wool,
and all the other things that are
produced by the farmer, then
write to our Congressman. and
say son If you think otherwise
write and tell what you really
want. Your Representatives in
Congress will be better able Il
legislate for you if they. know
where you stand. =

MOTHER

nal Within his heart.
From that moment when he lay
upon her breast and his heart
begin its beating next her own
a moment when the depths Of
human feelings are touched and
awakened and the heights of hui
man possibilities disclosed, she
loved him, lived for him toiled
for him, felt for him, saw,
for him, went. hungry for him
and died for him,
He did not understand then
the great, almost superhuman
task asked of her by the Creator;
nor could he see then that the
heart breaking load she carried
would have crushed the strongest
Of men; he only knew then that
she was both father and mother
to him.
And yet she bore her burden
with a sanity smile and a patient
soul that makes her now appear
as a heavenly angle temporarily
placed here by the Divine Maker
TO guide through the terrible
meshes Of an earthly life the be-
ling she had crossed the darkened
valley of death to bring into ex-
istence.
He sees her now. With eyes
Of memory he watches her pass
to and fro by his darkened bed,
smoothing his aching brow, hold
ing his feeble hand, murmuring
my boy!'
He sees her with frail, tired
arms and worn out body bending
over her daily tasks while he,
unmindful and unheeding romp-
ed in the mud in childish play.
He sees her toiling, toiling,
. throughout her never ending days
and he didn't understand.
Her wan face greeted him when
he tumbled from slumber's arm
Z and he remembers now that
mother gave him the choicest bits
from their scanty loaf. He sees
her from his little bed sewing
and darning and ironing for my
boy"
And then there grew a time
when she was too weak to long
er struggle with the burden thai
wrote the deep wrinkles upon hel
face and marked her body will
!, wearied seams of pain and life
: lessness.
Then when her work was done
-when that tiny baby had bee
