WHEN THE SAND MAN COMES
How One Mother Does Away With
the FretfuIness That Sometimes
Precedes Bedtime.

About half an hour before nap-time
Junior is washed and given a cup of
milk. Then l set him in his high
chair and give him something that he
can play with quietly for some time
If he still seems hungry, give him a
piece of zweiback or a crust of toast
that will keep him busy for a long
season. Then, he has a music box
and some cards and disreputable
clothespin doll, that we call his Quiet
time Playthings," and do not let him
see at any other time. II he is very
restless and l have the time, we go
into the sitting-room, darken it, and
play softly and sing the dear old mel
odies, that make my voice tremulous
with memories of my childhood.
Sometimes we put rug in daddy's
big chair, and Junior rocks slowly and
croons sleepy song" with me.
When nap-time comes, l take off his
shoes and prepare him for bed in the
usual way, lay him down in the quiet
room, shut the door, and if he is not
already asleep, he calls happily after
me-
"Byeby."
Do you see the principle Of the
thing? But of course you do. From
the time he wakes in the morning I'M
til nap-time, the child grows more and
more tired if left to himself; and when
it finally comes time for his nap, he is
too excited and weary to want it. The
old way of rocking the baby to sleep,
Objectionable as it was in many re-
spects, had this very important virtue,
that it soothed and prepared the tired
little brain and nerves for the coming

Tam O'Shanter Shape.

ManyGwomen have already taken to
the Tam O. Shanter, which has been
lowering on the brink of popularity
since the beginning of the season, and
in it's winter form it is likely to be
much in vogue. The stage often, if
not always, leads the way, and one OF
the prettiest black velvet hats of this
shape is worn in play recently pro.
duced. This is quite unrelieved black.
A pretty variant of the Tam O. Shan.
ter style is in blue felt with black
taffeta crown and black aigrette at
the side.
The fashion of having color and
material combinations is going to b.
very general this season. Silk ant
felt, silk and velvet, silk and plus
will be artistically combined, and tn
black underbrim with white CROW
will be feature in modish MILNE
Gor the autumn season.

NAMED THE FIRST REQUISITE
Bright Boy May Have Lacked Orig
inality. but He Surely Had
Correct Answer.

This brave man, beloved by all
France. was then buried with full
military honors." a Baltimore boy
read from the lesson, when his name
had been called.
What are military hOnors' in this
Connection" the teacher asked. and
several boys seemed to be possessed
of the right idea.
And what must one be to receive
such honors?" was the next question.
"a general?" "A hero?" "A cap
tain?" we're a few of the tentative re-
plies. Only the bright boy" of the
class remained silent.
Have you no answer, james," the
teacher suggested, what must one
be?"
why, l should say dead, Miss
Mary" was the reply.

Stringy Milk.

Stringy milk sometimes makes its
appearance early in the summer. The
trouble is usually caused by allowing
the cows to drink from filthy pools or
to lie down in filth filed with germs
or to wade through mud that comes in
contact with the openings of the
teats. Prevention is the best remedy
Keep the animals in clean quarters
and allow them to drink only clear
water, preferably from deep we'll

is not more than offset by the labor
they save on the summer fallow in
the way of soil packing, weed eradica-
ton and the spreading of manure
Another fact worth considering is
that the presence of flock of sheep
on a grain farm does not necessitate
. material reduction in the area de-
voted to grain growing, but on the
other hand 1t never fails to insuES a
larger yield of better grain, and it
makes possible the growing of grain
for a longer period of years than can
be done without them, or some other
kind of livestock.
A certain amount of technical
knowledge regarding sheep, their
habits, etc, is necessary to success,
but the same is equally true of all
classes of animals, and amateurs
should acquire this knowledge with a
small flock in order that their mis-.
takes do not cost them too dearly.
The first step to be taken when
embarking in the business of sheep
raising is to enclose at least one field
with a coyote-proof fence. Additional
fields similarly enclosed should be
provided as occasion requires, or ones
means permit. An effective dog and
coyote-proof fence can be made by US

high and attached to the inside of the

Final and Fatal Question.

Bobby was in an especially trying
mood, and had asked so many ques-
tions as to bring upon himself stern
parental command to be silent. By
and by, however, he so humbly solicit
ed permission to speak that this was
reluctantly granted And this was the
time when poor Bobby put his foot
into it with vengeance.
Il only wanted to ask" he said
meekly, what made your hair all
come out, papa? Will lose mine,
too, when it's ripe?"
