And most to dreamy lands.

And left me still and white

And peep out in the night

BY the sparkles In my eyes.
When she comes to take me with her
Up in the far-on skies.
Oh, do you think she's lost the way?
Or could she have forgot?
Sometimes these big, black questions
Almost smother out my heart,

the Baker came home they were al,
all gone.
The next day the Fool got up very
early in the morning, and he mixed
up the dough without asking anyone
any questions. He made some nice
little fat turtles, and some ferocious
little tigers, and he put them in the
window. He baked and baked until
the window was so full it could not
hold any more-all full Of turtles and
tigers. And then he packed his things
and ran away very far-very far in

And when the Baker and his wife
got up, there were a long line Of peo-

buy tigers and turtles.

before he could put them in the win

he was very dreadfully angry (the Fool

Only a small quantity Of fish should be

DEMOCRATIC CLUB
OF WOMEN WORKERS
Founded Eight Years Ago; Now Has
Membership of Two Hundred.

OF the women's Democratic organiza-
tons that are working for the election
of woodrow Wilson, most have been or
ganized for the specific purpose of help
ing to elect the Governor to the Presi-
dency. But there is one that counts his
election as but one number on . pro-
to 1904, and 1t is expected will extend
into the future indefinitely. This is the
Woman's Democratic Club of the City of
New York, founded eight years ago by
Mrs John Sherwin Crosby, having now
membership OF 200 women, and holding
the record for permanency of organiza-
ton among women's Democratic associa-
tons. Since its organization 1t has as
sisted in furthering Democratic principles
wherever and whenever its services could
be used. 1t played its part in the cam
paigns that brought George B. Mcclellan
to the Mayoralty for his second term,
and took an active interest in the Pres
idential campaign Of 1908.
Works for Principles.
1t will be seen. therefore, that 1t Is
not Wilson club primarily, but Dem
ocratic club that works for the princi-
pies Of Democracy. The club Is in a
tional Democratic League. which It moth
cred. Yet it may be said to be daughter
of the national body in the sense that
local organization stands in more or
less flial attitude toward the national
body that associates the sister locals.
The national league was organized in
June, Mrs Crosby being the prime mover
in that enterprise. too. The Dolly Mad
ison breakfast held in this city last
spring provided the opportunity for
prominent Democratic women from all
over the country to consider the national
phase Of the question in conclave, and
Mrs. Crosby, at the request of the Wash
ington women. promptly brought about
an organization. She was elected presi-
dent Of the national league.
The vice presidents elected were Mrs.

PORTABLE POULTRY HOUSES
SAVE LABOR AND COST

In the last few years quite a number
Of women have started to raise chick
ems; some have been successful and
some have not been, but in most cases
the failure to make money in this bust
ness has come from the use of old
fashioned appliances and supplies.
If. however, one of the latest modern
portable poultry houses is used. all that
was once difficult and costly in raising
chickens is avoided. The first cost Of
one of these laying houses is more than
repaid in a few months, as they insure
clean sanitary quarters and bring pay
ing results in healthy hens and a full
egg basket.
A fine little house OF sixteen layers Is
seven feet high in front. five feet in
rear, and six feet square. 1t has an
eight-light 10x12 double window in front
and small door for hens below, is paint
ed with two coats Of white lead and lin
seed oil. in either drab or slate color
with white trimmings.
An automatic feed hopper is another
thing which the woman who is raising
chickens should buy. These hoppers
have separate compartments for FIVE
different feeds. charcoal. grit, shells,
ground bone. dry mash. or beef scraps.
