FOR THE CHILDREN
The Newcomer.

Oh. never mind if your clothes aren't so fine As the rest of the boysl You can have some of mine 1T you want them to wear. I'll just lend some, you see, And any time you can return them to me. I'll be your friend if you want me for one, So never you mind what the boys may have done. Shey're pretty good boys. and they 1oked you, it's true, But they never have thought how 1t sounded to you
 So I wouldn't care. Oh, never mind when they laugh at your Boys laugh so easy and don't seem to care Till somebody thinks how it feels when you're new To have other old boys all laughing at you. My hair was red nce-almost-and you When I first came here they made fun of me, But now they don't care any more, and they call Me "Reddy." But it's only nickname; that's all,
 So wouldn't care. Oh, never mind if you didn't know what To answer the teacher right there on the spot! ! was so scared on the first day I came l hardly was able to tell her my name. And all the boys laughed when I tried and I tried To answer and couldn't and sat down and cried. But they came at recess, and they said not to mind, Because they'd not meant to be really un- kind.
 So I wouldn't care. Oh, never mind if 1t seems kind of blue! l was new once, and 1 felt just like you. All the boys do on the very first day, But they don't keep it up, for it soon wears away. One of these days you will think with a smile Just how bad you have felt You don't after awhile. I have an apple if you want a bite. Why, everything's going to come out all right,
 So I wouldn't care.

Cableqrams.

This is how to play cablegrams:
 A certain man went to Europe leav- ing his family at home. He was either too indolent or too busy to write often But he could not afford to cable lengthy dispatches, and so he wrote his Wlte that he could condense each cable gram into a single word by using only initial letters. The first message he sent was "B R O w N"
 While he was congratulating h1mse1 upon outwitting the cable company Dy sending five words in one the family at home were distracted over thelr varying interpretations of the message His daughter thought it meant Bought ring on Wednesday night" and began guessing just what kind of ring 1t was. His wife in her anxiety read 1t, Big rain out wet neuralgia" Other guess es at the intended meaning differed quite as widely.
 In playing the game any word may be used instead of Brown" Let the leader, who is supposed to be the tray eler, announce the word, keeping the meaning to himself, and let each play CT write his guess of the intended meaning on slip of paper. 1T there are prizes the one who offers the near est guess wins.

WHAT CLOVER WILL DO.

A Canadian bulletin issued last year contains details of an interesting ex- pertinent in the growing of clover for the distinct purpose of increasing the nitrogen content in a tract of land. Clover was grown on this tract con- tinuously for nine year period. The ground was dug over every second year and the plot reseeded. the hay that was cut each season being allow ed to rot on the ground. The soil was analysed at the beginning of the ex- pertinent and at intervals later. At the end of nine years 1t was found that each acre of soil to a depth of four inches contained 472 pounds more nitrates than at the beginning, worth on an average $9.36 per acre each year, or SS496 for the nine year pc riod. If this clover had been fed to stock instead of being allowed to rot it is admitted that nearly as large an amount of nitrogen would have been contributed to the soil.

A VERY SIMPLE PROBLEM

Some pretty bright and wide awake farmers that the writer is acquainted with continue from month to month milking the same old "star border'
 cows that are barely paying their cost of keep when one-third or one fourth as many good cows would give them many times the yield in milk and cream with far less work than they are now giving to these low yield animals Of course one can guess roughly as to the milk capacity of a dairy COW, but an investment of s or $4 in a simple Babcock tester will enable him to de- termine exactly what each COW is doing. Measuring the quantity of the milk and at the same time testing the percentage of butter fat it contains give absolute proof of each cows per formance. Multiplying the number of pounds of butter fat indicated for the month or year and making an allow skimmilk will give the income. If this total does not exceed from $35 to $40 per year Ghe yearly feed bilD it can be taken for granted that she is no good as a dairy COW and should be sent to the butcher It is as clear as the nose on body's face. that a COW that will show a net yearly profit of SSO is just as good an asset as-in fact good deal better one than-eight cows that give net revenue of but S10 each. But, notwithstanding the simplicity of the arithmetic of this problem, thousands of farmers don't seem to have sense enough to see it.

DRESS REFORM DOES NO GOOD.
A Woman Who Wore Modest Clothes
 Was Pointed Out as a Freak.

The women crusaders against the mad tyranny of fashion and the un hvgienic character of the latest styles in woman's dress have at last found a proselyte in Mrs Nina Wilcox Put nam. a magazine writer of note who is brave enough to act in accordance with her beliefs instead of merely giv ing literary expression to them.
 X few months aga Mrs. Putnam, who is 23 years old, designed dress in harmony with the ideas of the cru saders. and she has now written let ter to Miss Ida Tarbell describing the social martVrdom she has since sui fered.
 'sIn my new dress" says Mrs. Put nam, q am covered from head to foot without the use of the ten to twenty hideous, uncomfortable and unnecessa- rv garments, and without vulgarizing the shapes of modern fashions. It is an extremely becoming dress, yet, be- cause it does not conform with the prevailing unhealthy and restricting styles, I am stared at and jeered at wherever I appear.
 At the opera, where I am surely the most fully covered female present, peo- ple gaze at me as if 1 am a wild ami maj. and the air resounds with remarks such as How peculiar and How shock ing Several dear, prim old ladies have cut my acquaintance because they find my dress indecent. My gentlemen friends have taken me severely to task for being eccentric, though they know that my dress is beneficial to health. Everywhere I am made to feel like a pariah, and am regarded as a curios- itv."-From the London Mail

The Lonu Way Around.

There were two barges that were to be taken to a point forty-seven miles away. but it took them a long time to get there They had to go 10,500 miles in order to get to that nearby point You see. they were down at the lstn- mus of Panama. at the Atlantic end or the new canal. and they were to De taken to the Pacific end. But the canal is not finished, and so it could not car ry the boats, which were too big to go by railroad without being taken to pieces. So they had to be lowed all the way around the end of South Amerlca the south end, that is-and come up the other side.

A Hidden Danger

It is a duty of the kid neys to rid the blood of uric acid, an irritating poison that is constantly forming inside.
 When the kidneys fail, uric acid causes rheumatic attacks, headache, dizziness, gravel, urinary troubles, weak eyes, dropsy or heart disease.
 Doan's Kidney Pills help the kidneys fight off uric acid-bringing new strength to weak kidneys and relief from backache and urinary ills.

MARCH METHOD OF GRAPHING.

There has been discovered and is be- ing used in the government hothouses at Washington the march method of grating, which makes it possible to shorten the fruiting period of trees rom eight to two years This was very desirable in horticultural experi- ment work ill order to ascertain the fruiting habits of imported new varie- lies Of fruit bearing plants and in the cases or hybrlds secured by crossing known and standard varieties. Briefly the march method consists in taking up the seeding of the plant to be test cd at the age of about four weeks witli a ball of earth surrounding the roots sufficient to keep the plant alive for few weeks. This is transferred to a vigorous tree of a kindred species whose root system is well established. The outer bark is scraped from the Hlde Of the nurse tree about a foot aDoVe the ground, and the bark is also scraped from one side of the seedling The two wounds are bound together with soft cloth bands, the ball of earth DelnS Dound to the side of the nurse tree. In two or three weeks the two have grown together, when the root and ball of earth of the seeding may be removed. In order to still further force growth the top of the nurse tree Is cut off, the entire nOurishment of it's root system being thus diverted to the adopted seedling which makes a pro- diGious growth and vents some of its surplus energy in fruiting before it's usual time. The march system has been used in the case of citrus and other fruits and it is evident may be similarly used in hastening to fruiting practically all varieties of tree and bush fruits where such a union as that described can be effected

BEHOLD THE PRINCE OF WALES.

An English actor was a member of a company snowbound in the Sierras while on the way from California to the east so that they all had a mag nificent hunger when the train reached a small station at which there was a restaurant, and the Englishman was the first to find seat at a table.
 Bring me in a hurry" he said to the landlord, a burly western man, "a porterhouse steak, some deviled kid neys and a brace of chops, plenty of vegetables and two bottles of Bass S bitter beer"
 The landlord stuck his head out of the dining room and yelled to some body in the rear apartment:

HAYDEN

HAYDEN, Sept. 3.-On Friday even ing of last week there was an import ant meeting of the Nocyar club at which permanent organization was ef- fected and a constitution and bylaws adopted. Since the club first came in to existence about a year ago it has been conducted under the original tenn porary organization, steps looking to the permanent organization having been somewhat neglected. At last Fridays meeting permanent officers were elected as follows: Erie V. Dave Ter, presideet; B. F. BIackman, vice president; F. Kennedy Poe, treasurer; and P. Charles F'eldkamp, secretary.
 Deputy County Attorney c. H. Stud ley, Jr went to Globe early Sunday morning in the interest of his official duties. He is expected back about the middle of the week.
 On our local hase ball field Sunday afternoon there was a most exciting game between the rival teams of Hay den and San Pedro. The contest was the best exhibition we have had rec ently and a number of brilliant plays were made. The tense moment came in the ninth when the Hayden boys held the lead by three scores and the San Pedro team was at bat. With two men out and the bases full Martinez sent a long drive to left field that gave every promise of being home run and would have given the game to San Pedro but fielder FOrbach made a sen sational running catch, retiring the side and winning the game for the Haydenites.
 The teams lined up as follows:

The Auctioneer.

TIC AUCLfOHcCf.
 This game is played by any number of persons, one of whom acts as auc- tioneer. Each of the other players writes on a slip of paper the name of some article and folds it over to hide what he has written. The auctioneer then marks one of the slips and adds blank one, making one more slip than there are persons playing, and mixes them all together in hat.
 Each of the company in turn draws a slip, and he who gets the blank is put up at auction by the auctioneer, each player bidding the article on his sip. The holder of the marked slip gets the person knocked down to him. He may then require his purchase to perform some trick or feat. and after that the game is repeated.
 The auctioneer. instead of marking a slip. may simply open one and look at it. afterward accepting the bid of the person who draws whenever 1t may be offered. One slip always re- mains in the hat The auctiCneer should look at it, and if 1t be the blank or the marked slip all must be shuf- fed over and the players draw again.
 The auctioneer should give a com ical description of the person to be sold. praising his appearance and good qualities. and may also be required to give reason for accepting the bid which buys him.
