the side of the infected field he plowed
a lister furrow with the subsoiler re-
moved, making a ditch with perfectly
sm Doth bottom Where any dirt fell in
on his hard floor he threw it out. On
this smooth floor he laid his line of oil
soaked binding Irvine. Very few bugs
crossed it, and 1t is probable that the
few that did cross were so oiled they
died After laying down his oiled Irvine
he took a coal oil can with a small
spout and poured a thin line of oil on
his Irvine, soaking the ground under
it. 1t remained in good condition for a
couple of weeks without renewing.

doned his seat. Jimmie Fargo dashed
forward to do or die, but the vehicle
suddenly decided to be good and stop
ped, and Miss Mildred stepped to the
sidewalk calmly.

was Jimmie Fargo down that way
in about ten days? He was! Jim
mie was feeling blue for a week after
that taxi farce. Two adventures and
no COMMUNICATING to count for
him. Then he suddenly frightened
up. The country was the place for
adventures-mad dogs-fierce bulls
vicious tramps-outlaws and horse
thieves. Yes, he would go down, and
he would depend upon Jimmie Fargo

to work up the good will of the sister

meadow he caught sight of a figure.
1t was that of Miss Mildred. A mo-
! ment later he caught sight of another.
That was Farmer Taylor's bull that
had jumped the fence. The bull
started for the girl and Jimmie start
ed for the bull. He shouted. He
waved his arms. He called to Miss
Mildred to make for the fence-to
climb tree-to fly away in an aero
plane.
And then his foot struck a hidden
stone and he fell forward with a
crash that dislocated his shoulder and
rendered him unconscious for many
minutes. 1t was the voice of the girl
calling to a farmer in the next field
that seemed to arouse him.
Mr.. Fargo, what on earth were you
trying to do?" she asked, as she
turned to the victim.
ITO save you" was the reply.
ITO save me? Why, didn't you see
that the bull fell and broke his neck,
before he was half way to me?"

with tears.

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

We'll, you know there is always
a fly in the ointment" concluded the
authorman's wife with bromide phil
osophy, as she finished telling US why
| she had not had quite as good a time
as she might have had on a recent
pleasure excursion.
There certainly always IS a fly in
the ointment to that woman.
And from the attention which she
bestows upon it and the certainty
with which she remembers to men
ton it, it can't be any ordinary house
hold pest; it must be a horsef1y at
the very Ieast-something larger If
that be possible.
Nor is the authorman'S wife eccen-
trio in this ability of hers to find flies
in the ointment of all her pleasures.
On the contrary she is merely one of
sort of person. everywhere, and she
always has substantially the same
story to tell.
A neighbor in the kindness of his
heart takes her out autoing some
evening, and when you ask her if she
had a good time she says reluctantly,
Yes, 1 enjoyed it, but / did wish lie
had come last week when it was so
much hotter
She goes to the theater and admits
grudgingly that the seats, the play
and the acting were all that could be
desired, but the orchestra really spoil
eQ the WnOlo lnlnSs IL was so wretch
ed. She simply cannot see why a
first class theater should tolerate such
q miserable performance.
She goes away on a vacation and
you find her delightfully."- situated in
a large and desirable room in the
pleasantest wing of the house, and
you feel sure she must be satisfied at
last. OF course you are foredoomed 10
disappointment Yes" she acknow-
lodges, ut IS a good room, but it
has the early morning sun in one
window and 1 do dislike that because
it's so apt to wake me up. Shut the
blinds? I suppose could, but that's
so much bother. Besides it shuts out
some of the air.
Now I suppose if we are to be
perfectly honest, optimists though
we are, we must admit that there al
as the lady says. The happiest and
most fortunate of US coald probably
find out something which might have
been improved even in our happiest
day. But here is the difference oe-
tween the authorman's wife and her
class and the kind of people who US
ually come back from the littlest
pleasure saying they have had a per-
feet time-one always sees the fly, the
other, the ointment.
And this is the difference not only
between these two but between the
two great classes that make up the
whole world.
To which class do YOU belong?
Some people are grieved because
roses have thorns," says Mrs. Whit
ney: "I am glad because thorns have
roses"
Which are YOU?

The old police reporter contributes:
The popular fallacy to the effect that

jokes. A professional tramp carries
bar of soap, and if he hasn't a razor,
will shave with a piece of broken bot
tie or a piece of tin sharpened on a
brick rather than wear whiskers. He
does not wear ragged clothes, because,
