nv Motor Girl.

Horace DOdd GAstit. In Harper's Weekly.
MY motor girl. my motor girl, how
she doth set my heart awhirl as, with
a rush, she madly hikes along the over
pixies! Her silvery laughter
is the horn she sounds pedestrians to
warn that II is coming at full speed,
and hat they'd better give her heed.
The wheels that whirl her on her
way are made Of human hearts. they
say. She runs along right gracefully,
no matter what the traffic be: and
every heart along the road takes glad
~ on the loving load. and with a WHIT
and lively whirl obeys the slightest
whim of her.
Her clutch is light. but oh, how firm!
Away from 1t ne wight could souirm.
howevcr hard he'd strain or scrape in
the mad effort to escape. Her gear
is high and ne'er a cop along the line
would dare to stop her in the pace
that she doth choose on lanes and
streets and
Her motor lights are deeply blue an
are the heavens fairest hue. and dan
ger fash to all who dare to brave their
self-reliant stare. Her hood, ah, what
a thing o. grace. of feathers made and
lights fash forth like the Aurora OF the
north!
All. motor girl-would thou vert
mine! A day with thee would be di-
vine-a life with thee could only be
one mad joy ride Of ecstacy! But sad
my fate-and hence my groan-she
ever a be quite my own, for though
heart doth call her queen she'd bust
me buying gasoline!

Boy Eisctroe..sd BY Kite.

Is years old, was electrOcuted on
the outskirts of the city while
sailing "A kite with picture wire
substituted for the cord generally used
in such pustimes. A high wind was
blowing when the boy went out with
his kite. and fearing thai the cord
woul not hold 1t. he procured 200 feet
of picture wire. which he attached to
the kite.
He succeeded in raising 1t in the air
with the wire attached in spite of it's
weight. III was running across a rain
soaked field with the wire in his hand
when the kite dipped and the wire lay
across a service line running from an
electric substation carrying 1000 volts.
The current was transmitted into the
boys body by the picture wire as a
conductor. He was frightfully burned
and died instantly.

Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as I'M
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year. The tanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Eeonom,

Have you ever stopped to think just
what Economy in baking really means
Some folks seem to have the idea tina,
saving little on the cost of the mate.
rals-the -four eggs, etc.-is economy
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder. and save l0c to Csc
But both are wrong. For the real econ
omy-the economy that counts-consists in
doing away with the failures that SO
often waste far more than is saved in
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond a doubt is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
lite of millions of cooks. 1t absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-which in the end Is the same thing
as economy.
Calumet is unfailing-it makes every

URGES ASSEMBLY TO HURRY
Governor Asks That More Attention
Be Given General Bills.

western Newspaper Union News Service
Little Rock.-The short time remain
ing OF the legislative session last week
caused Governor Robinson to send a
SPECIAL message to the Legislature urg-
ing them to cease consideration of so
many local bills and turn their atten.
ton to general legislation. The gov
ernor makes several recommendation
that in his opinion are important and
should receive consideration.
Among his recommendation are the
passage of appropriation bills, the
adoption of joint resolutions and sub
hitting amendments for the creation
OF pardon board and placing mem
bers of the general assembly on a
salary.
Mr.. Robinson says in the opening Of
his message:
lhasmuch as the present session of
the general assembly will expire on
the 18th day of March and no extern
sion or special session is probable,
your chief executive respectfully sug
gests that consideration of all local
and special bills be henceforth dis
pensed with and that your deliber
atoms be confined exclusively to the
necessary appropriation bills and such
other measures OF general Importance
to the state as may, in your judgment,
merit consideration.
In speaking OF the state financial
need he says:
Your attention already mas been di-
rected to the condition of the general
revenue fund. 1t was exhausted when
this legislature convened and YOU were
compelled TO make available other
funds to defray the expenses of the
present session In addition to this,
deficiency appropriation bills amount
ing 10 more than $350,000 are contem-
plated, and this sum does not include
the necessary improvements at the va
rious state institutions which should
have been made heretofore and which
seem unavoidable now.
Mr.. Robinson urges that the bill be
passed abolishing the capitol rate and
establishing the educational rate.
