WANTED NO MORE INSURANCE
Would Follow the Method Of
Fire Underwriters.

Judge Lawrence W. Halsey recently
told the following story:
speaking Of insurance, that re-
minds me of an old Dutch farmer
it's true story, too. The man had
his barn insured for $500, and one day
1t burned down., When the insurance
agent came around, and our friend. the
Dutch farmer, expected to get the
$500 in cold cash, he was disappoint-
ed by the announcement of the agent,
who said that his company would build
new barn, instead of paying the
money to him.
"Of course, the old man was sore;
he would much rather have had the
money; but he couldn't do anything
and SO he became resigned to his
fate.
Several months after that an am.
bilious life insurance agent came
around to the Dutch farmer and told
him all about the advantages of hav-
Ing ones life insured. The agent
proposed that the man insure the life
of his wife.
"But our friend, the Dutchman,
didn't reflect long before he said:
"No, stree, nothing doing on insur.
Ing any more. I would look fine insur.
ing my wife's life for couple of thou
sand dollars, and then afterwards,
when she has died--which God forbid
then you come around and tell me
you can find another wife for me at
much less expense"

INDIAN GIRLS AS SERVANTS
In Arizona They Have Been Found to
Be Fairly Skillful and Undue
trious Domestics.

"The best domestic servants that
We can get in our isolated region are
Indian girls" said Mr.. George A. Hur.
ley of Flagstaff, Ariz. These girls,
fairly skillful and moderately indus.
trious. could scarcely be rated ideal,
but on 1.-The whole, they are satisfac-
tory, and In the absence of other help
we are extremely glad to get them.
Their efficiency is the result of train
ing in the Indian schools of the reser.
vatiOns, and when one stops to con-
slider their native environment and
semi-savage rearing it is rather extra
ordinary that they should be as clever
and valuable as they are. 49,. +.
by temperament these Indian girls
are inclined to reticence. They do
what is asked of them uncomplain.
tngly, but they rarely smile and never
joke and are not demonstrative In any
way, with one exception. This is when
the woman in Uncle Sans employ
who was their school superintendent
or teacher, comes around to make her
periodical visits in order to see how
the girls who are at service are get
ting on. Whenever this visitor arrives
the particular Indian maid who greets
her gives her welcome that for an
Indian is exceedingly cordial and ef-
1usive. The girls, indeed, seem to
cherish real sentiment of deep graft
tude for the one who first taught them
the elements of English education
and gave them their first lessons in
domestic science.*-Baltimore Ameri-

OF houses and nests of lice and vermin
liquid spray or paint is probably the
most desirable form of application.
A splendid lice powder may be made
at a cost of only a few cents a pound
in the following way: Take three
parts of gasoline and one part of crude
carbolic acid; mix these together and
add gradually with stirring, enough
plaster of Paris to take up all the
moisture. The liquid and the dry
plaster should be thoroughly mixed
and stirred so that the liquid will be
uniformly distributed through the
mass of plaster. When enough plaster
has been added the resulting mixture
should be a dry pinkish brown pow
der having a fairly strong carbolic
odor and a rather less pronounced gas
oline odor.
Do not use more plaster in mixing
than is necessary to blot up the liquid.
This powder is to be worked into the
feathers of the birds affected with YER
min. The bulk of the application
should be in the fluff around the vent
and on the ventral side of the body
and in the fluff under the wings. Its
efficiency, which is greater than that
of any other lice powder known to
the writer, can be very easily demon
strated by anyone to his own salts
faction. Take a bird that is covered
with lice and apply the powder in the
manner just described. After a lapse
of about a minute, shake the bird,
loosening its feathers with the fingers
at the same time, over a clean piece
of paper. Dead and dying lice will
drop on the paper in great numbers.
Anyone who will try this experiment
will have no further doubt of the won
derful efficiency and value Of this
powder.
For a spray or paint to be applied
to Toosting boards, nest boxes or walls
and floor of the hen houses the follow
ing preparation is used:-3 parts of
kerosene and 1 part crude carbolic
acid. This is stirred up vixen used
and may be applied with any Of the
hand spray pumps or with brush.
In both of these formulae it is highly
important that crude carbolic acid
be used instead of the purified product.
Be sure and insist to the druggist on
getting crude carbolic acid. 1t is a
dark brown, dirty looking liquid, and
its value depends on the fact that it
contains tar oil and tar bases in adj
dition to the pure phenol (carbolic
acid).

warm countries and has a natural fear
of snow, so in tho north when gum
cas- are caught out IN a snowstorm
there is a good chance for trouble. If

through snow to the poultry house.
The g,dneas will take to flight rath-

light on the ground when covered
with snow they will light in trees, or
If there are no trees they will light

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
PETTY CRIMES PUNISHABLE
BY DEATH.
BY A. w. MACY.

In 1906 an English writer
published list of flfty-six
crimes that we're punishable by
death In that country. A large
percentage of them were what
are now considered minor Of
lenses; yet upon conviction Of
the offenders the judges we're
obliged to pass sentence Of
death. At one session of the
Old Bailey court, in London, the
term ending September 4, 1901,
the following convictions were
made: Two men for entering a
dwelling house In the daytime
and stealing a cotton counter
pane; one man for stealing a
linen cloth; two men for burg
larry; one man for stealing a
pair of stockings; another for
stealing six silver spoons; an
other for returning from trans
portatIon; anothe for ste ing a
horse; another for stealing
blue coat; two men for stealing
four teaspoons and a gold snuff
box; one man for stealing
lamb, and another for stealing
two lambs. 1t is not recorded
that all these were hanged, but
some Of them undoubtedly we're.
Probably the most extraordinary
case on record is that of an
English boy who was sentenced
to death for polishing six
pence and trying to pass II for
a shilling.

TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY
Confronts Chicken Fancier-
Proper Procedure.
By r. G.. wEATHERsToNE.)

10y IT. VI. w OINE.D
One of the most difficult problems
which the poultry keeper has to meet
is that Of keeping his poultry houses
and stock reasonably free from lice,
mites and other external parasites.
In keeping a poultry plant free
from lice there are two points Of
attack: One, the birds themselves;
the other, the houses, nest boxes,
roosting boards, etc.
In using any kind Of lice powder on
the birds themselves, it should always
be remembered that single appli-
cation of powder is not sufficient.
When there are lice present on a bird
there are always unmatched eggs Of
lice ('nits') present, too. The proper
procedure is to follow up first appli-
cation of powder with a second at an
interval of four days to a week. IL
the birds are badly infested at the
beginning it may be necessary to make
still third application. To clean the
cracks and crevices of the woodwork
