At recent dinner of the alumni
of the Chicago College of Law, C. e.
Kremer was the last speaker. The
preceding speakers had taken up a
great deal of time and it was near
midnight when Mr.. Kremer was intro
duced. He said:. at is now so late

the young man in Wisconsin, where

usual and proper thing for every
young man to do is to go on Sunday
night to call on his girl. Every

ing to the scarcity of chairs, or for
some other reason, it is quite usual
for young woman to sit on her young
mans lap. Dave, the young man,
weighed 100 pounds, and Kitty, his
girl, came up to $50 pounds, and one
evening, after Kitty had been sitting
on Dawes lap for about two hours,
she jumped up and said: why, Dave,

REMARKABLE BIRD WAS THIS
Perry Scott's Turkey Seemed to Have
Been Built In Manner Resembling
a centipede.

The story of Perry Scott's turkey
has come down from revolutionary
days In Carolina. Colonel Gordon was
accustomed to tell of the hasty march
which he made before Rudolph's le-
gions. He was Just sitting down to
dinner, when orders were given to
cross the Ashley river It was near
ly nightfall when he bivouacked IL
a valley in which the cavalry under
Wayne had just encamped, and, with
his officers, began to sup on dry bread
and potatoes. The infantry which he
commanded were in starving con-
dition, and the commissary was with
out money; but raiding upon the farm
ers was sternly made punishable by
death. Reports of the hungry con-
dition OF the newcomers had circulated
among Wayne's men. Just as the colo
mel began to eat his musty bread, a
private from the cavalry appeared,
and said respectfully: Perry Scott
had some money, colonel, and bought
a turkey. We have unfortunately eat
en- all but one leg. l took the liberty
Of bringing that to YOU" The colonel
took the leg gratefully, and had scarce
ly finished 1t when another of Wayne's
men appeared, with the same story Of
Perry Scott's turkey, and another leg.
The colonel congratulated himself on
his luck and handing the drum-stick
over to fellow officer, went out of
the tent. It was growing dark. An
other cayalryman came up. whispered
the story Of Perry Scott, and eau
tiously handed over a third leg. The
colonel continued his walk through the
camp, and before his return had been
secretly offered twenty legs and four
teen wings of Perry SCOTS turkey.
Wayne's men had raided a poultry
yard the previous night, and concoct-

TRAPPER MUST BE SKILLED
Farmer Boy, to Be Successful, Must
Acquire knowledge Of Habits
Of Different Animals.

Wild animals depend largely on
their scent to escape pitfalls and
traps. Consequently, any effort in
trapping must first of all eliminate
odors,. Therefore, to be most sue
cessful in capturing fur animals 70
quires knowledge of the habits of
each. The setting of traps requires
skill, not only in placing them in the
right spot, but in covering up odors
and the evidence of the presence of
human beings. The time of the year
and the character Of the weather have
much to do in finding prizes on max
ing the rounds in the morning. Ami
mails are governed largely by weather
conditions and when a severe snow
storm or cold snap approaches, re-
main close in their dens or holes. At
such times the trapper will not have
much luck Dry, cold, frosty nights
in winter are also not fruitful of
good results. But when the nights
are dark, rainy and cloudy the
chances for good catches are very
favorable.
Most game is usually found in
wild, rough, billy or swampy coun-
tries. Foxes and wolves are some
times seen on the open prairie. In
looking for signs of game observe
carefully the rocks and brush along
creeks, ponds and lakes. The paths
of beaver, muskrat, coon and mink
are evidences that fur-bearing game
travels in that vicinity These are
sure signs and are splendid places to
trap. For mink, which is one of the
most valuable fur animals, the trap
should be set near the den. Trap
ping for mink may begin in Novem-
Der and continue until April, between
which dates the fur is prime.
If a plain trail leads into and along
the edge Of the water, the trap may
be set in the water at the extreme
edge, so that it will not be conspicu.
Gus. The chain should be fastened
with a stake deep under the water
In open drifts and hollow logs the
trap is set at the entrance and GOV.
cred with leaves and the bait places
in the hole a few inches from the en-
trance. Traps should be handled
with gloves.

whether or not their surroundings
are kept absolutely clean. Pigeons
are very dainty birds. They detest
dirty food or water and they dislike
unclean surroundings. Their two
worst enemies are cold and rats.
Therefore, 1t will be seen that their
quarters should be well built so that
they will be warm and dry and yet
have plenty Of ventilation and light.
1t is not wise to keep pigeons in or
about barn because in such locality
they are almost sure to be assailed
by rats One of the best ways to keep
the rats out of pigeon coop is to sink
one-inch wire netting into the ground
along the coop foundation, lacking it
well up on the sides. This will keep
the rats from burrowing under the
stills or from making holes in the sides
above ground.
Pigeons eat a variety of grains, such
as Canadian peas, cracked corn, and
wheat, German millet and hempseed
They also need finely broken shell, and
ground rock salt and charcoal.

RAISE PIGEONS FOR PROFIT
Most Fanclers Take 10 Fantalls or
Pouters, but Homers Should Be
Selected for Money.

The boy or girl who lives where It
is possible to keep live stock will de-
rive a great deal of pleasure, as well
as considerable profit, from raising
pigeons If they are properly cared
for pigeons give their owners little
trouble and they more than repay for
the time spent upon them. The sale
of squads, which are the young birds,
nets goodly profit after the owner
has once started his pigeon loft.
Nearly all pigeon fanciers like to
own some fancy birds such as fantails,
pouters, or tumblers, but when it
comes to making money from the
birds, the homers should be chosen.
The full grown homers, properly mat
ed, should be bought only from re-
liable dealer, They may be a little
expensive but they pay in the end. A
pair of first class homers will cost
about two dollars. Every pair Of good
birds, we'll cared for, produce about
dozen squads year. In the whole
sale market the homer squads sell
for about 81 dozen. Private Gus
toners are willing to pay 40 and even
so cents a pair for them.
The old birds feed their young I'M
til they are about four weeks old,
when they are ready to be marketed.
If the boy or girl who owns the pig
cons has attended to the needs Of the
old birds in the morning, he or she
may go off to school feeling sure that
the young birds will be fed and cared
for by their parents. Food may be
left before the birds all the time, for
pigeons never eat too much.
OF course everything depends upon
the kind of house the pigeons live in.

Long screws are better than nails for
the purpose The arms should be
braced underneath by means of a pair
Of by inch iron angle brackets, as
shown in Fig. z
The back board e is 70 inch thick,
4 inches wide and feet long, while
the other two boards of the back,
shown in Fig /, are feet 81 inches
long, because they fit between up
rights A. The seat rails F are of 2
by 4 inch stuff and are of the same
length as the lower back boards;
fasten them between the end frames.
Fit the crosspieces G between these
rails.
Fit covering of boards upon the
top of the seat framework, bringing
them out to the outer face of each
member, as shown in Fig. /; then nail
4-inch strip of board around all four
sides to conceal the edges of the
boards.
Iron chain and eyes for suspending
the seat can be purchased u most
hardware stores, and will cost be-
tween 10 and Is cents foot, accord
ing to the size of the links. The low
er eyes should be long enough to ex-
tend about inches into the seat
ends, and the upper eyes should ex-
tend an equal distance into joist of
the porch ceiling.
The woodwork of the seat may be
finished either with a wood stain, var
nish or paint. If the wood is of oak,
a stain will bring out the marking Of
its grain best. Sbellac should be APP
piled after the stain has dried, to make
it permanent. All nail holes should
be driven below the surface of the
wood, and all holes should be puttied.

A SWINGING SEAT FOR THE
PORCH.

A swinging seat is much more com
Portable to sit in than hammock,
makes neater appearance upon q
porch, and with several pillows thrown
upon it, will be fully as satisfactory to
lie down upon. Fig. shows a seat
of an attractive design that can be
carried out with ease by any boy
who is handy with tools. Oak is the
best material to use, as it is strong
and easily worked; but If you can get
nothing but pine it will serve your
purpose provided the pieces are free
from knots and other defects.
The seat illustrated is feet long
and 20 inches wide. If you wish a
seat of different proportions, these
dimensions are readily varied, of
course. The two ends should be con-
structed first Material 2 inches
thick should be used; by As will do.
Cut the uprights A by the pattern
shown in Fig. 4, uprights B by the
pattern in Fig. s, the arm by the
pattern of Fig, s. and the bottom
crosspiece D IS inches long by ~
inches wide. The notch il the rear
edge Of uprights A is made to receive
the ends of the back strip E, and the
arms Care notched to fit around up
rights A. The dimensions for the
notch in G are not given, because the
notch much be beyeled to fit the slant
Of upright A, and for the sake of ac-
curacy the measurements are best
taken directly from that piece. The
members Of the end frames must be
fastened together very securely, mas
much as the entire weight Of the seat
and its occupants come upon them.

ALL DWELLINGS
NEARLY 100 NEW RESIDENCE
STRUCTURES STARTED DUR
ING PAST MONTH.
LARGE Demand FOR HOMES
Increased Activities Looked for During
Scheduled for Coming Summer.

Although nothing unusual occurred
during the month of January in Tulsa
building circles, there was "A steady
activity in the dwelling construction
line, which condition Of affairs has
prevailed for several months past.
New dwellings of "a substantial nature
are being built on every hand, and
especially in the outlying additions
which do not come under the jurisdic-
ton of the city building inspector, and
are therefore not officially recorded.
The building of scores of new dwell
ings indicates plainly that the city is
growing rapidly in population, thus
creating a demand for homes, and the
recent addition of several important
institutions to the city's industrial
population has brought factory men
and their families here who are ex-
perencing much trouble in some in
stances in procuring suitable homes
Every new dwelling is rented as soon
as it is ready for occupancy, and in a
good many cases long before that
time. The apartment houses are al
ways full, and there is not AN empty
house of any kind, with possibly two
or three exceptions, within twelve
blocks of the business district.
The report of Building ln/ /ector G..
Meacham for the month of January
shows that almost 100 new buildings
were started With two exceptions
each permit during the month was
for a dwelling Not one permit was
for building to cost over $4,000, thus
showing that there was an unusually
large number Of houses started. con-
sdering the total amount Of the per-
mits.
The building of residence houses
will continue with increased activity
for the next few months, but within
four months time several big office
buildings and other large structures
will have been started according to
persons who are in position to
know. BY fall this year, over five
eight and ten-story buildings Will be
under course Of construction. New
factories that will be operating in
Tulsa and surrounding suburbs before
July /, will demand over 900 dwell
ings for their employees, for which
there are no similar accommodations
to be had at present

MAY BEGIN ASSESSING
GOLD Teeth IN CITY
PROPERTY OWNERS PRONE TO
HAVE \ CROUCH, MAY BE
CAUSED TO FOMENT.

The assessors in Tulsa county are
meeting Old Man Crouch these days
on every hand. The high taxes last
last year have made every taxpayer
somewhat of Crouch when the sub
ject is mentioned.
When the assessor meets citizen
and introduces himself he must wait
until the taxpayer has "cussed" ev.
erything and everybody from Haskell
to kingdom come, and when the ora
tor has exhausted himself, he is
told quietly to divulge the place and
amount of every bit of his fortune.
The question has just been raised
as to whether all the assessors are
listing the gold teeth of the residents
of Tulsa county 1t is roughly estimat-
ed that there is over $25, 900 in gold in
the mouths of Tulsa county citizens
and If the usual per cent of taxation
was applied to this it would make a
sum sufficient to build several miles
of good roads.
The assessor takes an oath to assess
everything at its cash value. and as
gold teeth certainly have a cash value,
there is talk of peutioning the county
attorney TO mandamus the assessor
to take cognizance of this matter.
