it, had corraled wife within his
house. The first had been the love of
his childhood; the wooing of the sec

in the fact that he had been a good
husband to three good women. He
lamented that all were dead. Now

particular, that contemplated and

Chickens Ruined by Overcrowding.
By Cockspm:

Chickens packed in coops, like children
In tenement, cannot thrive half as
well as those that have plenty of room
and all the fresh air they can breathe.
Thousands of men, women and even
children are making money with poultry.
But they are maintaining focks in
size proportionate to their accommoda-
tions. 1t is on the growing chicks that
we are depending for our egg supply this
fall, while the older hens are moltlng,
and we want them to do the best pos
sble work next year and the year alter
To do these things they must grow up
and gather more strength each DAY.
Days of checked growth are never re-
gained. And, as any poultry man VIII
understand If he stops a minute to thlnk,
each day chick needs more room. more
fresh air, more space to exercise in.
The benefit of wedding out or culling

The President has issued an executive

Anderson formerly of Houston, Tex. In
the bureau OF pensions lie was chief OF
the law division OF the pension Office, and
although he was under the civil service
law. was removed from office three weeks
after Mr. Mckinley became President.
President Wilson's executive order
states. in regard to Mr.. Anderson, the
official who recommended his dismissal
subsequently recommended his reinstate-
ment by executive order. but il was not
accomplished. The civil service commits
sion reviewed his case and considered II
To- be most deserving. President Roose-
Welt EXPRESSED the desire that the rein
statement be made
The Secretary of the Interior recon-
rnends the issuance of this order on &C
count of Mr.. Andersons demonstrated ef-
ficiency and extended experience in the
work of the pension bureau. and in view
OF the foregoing facts the civil service
commission concurs, as the order merely
valves the year limit under the rein
statement rule"
Mr.. Andersons dismissal, il is charged
in the Endorsements on the papers In his
case, was for political reasons. In the
campaign of 1S,6 he "stumped two
states for Mr.. Bryan when the latter
was a candidate for the presidency. Since
then he has from time to time endeav-
ored TO be reinstated. his present sue

Virginia. lie entered the classified serv-
lee through competitive examination and
was assigned place at $1,000. He re-
ceived promotions until he reached the
grade of principal examiner on the board
Of review, at 5000 per annum. On the
accession of Mr.. Harrison to the presi-
dency the then republican administra-
ton reduced his salary to $1,000, and in
the whirligig of time, when Cleveland

tsry of the Interior, Senator Hoke Smith.

per annum.
On the election OF Mckinley Mr.. An

FOR NAVAL STIMULUS.
Silver Trophy Cup Offered for An
nual Battleship Competition.

In order to stimulate interest in the
navy in the practice OF swimming Acting
Secretary Roosevelt has offered a silver
trophy cup to be competed for annually
by the personnel OF the battleships Of the
Atlantic fleet. The cup will be held for
one year by the battleship Of the fleet
which during the year has qualified the
largest percentage of its entire personnel
as swimmers.
The competition will apply to every per-
son on board from the commanding of1cer
to the newest enlisted man, and the mark
ing will be done on the simple percentage
basis. Secretary Roosevelt's idea In pre-
senting this cup is to increase the per-
centage Of men who can pass q simple
test in staying afloat a reasonable length
of time. He believes that every man on
board ship should know how to swim.

moreover, the inevitable result OF over
crowding is overheattng. which weakens
not only the fraiI birds. but the strong
ones as well. Colds and incipient roup
make their appearance. and the entire
flock may be injured and deaths may fol-
low. If the young birds get Ill now or
in the fall their egg-laying ability will
be retarded.
Another thing that must be done Is to
separate the cockerels and the pullets.
Cockerels are not as gallant as full
grown roosters. On the contrary, they
will crowd the pullets away from the
feed. and in that way retard the growth
of the future egg layers The few
cockerels that are to be kept for breed
Ing should have pen to themselves. The
others should be fattened and either eaten
or sold.
These are the fine points OF profitable
poultry keeping. They help along the
road to success. Reverse methods lead
to extra work, to worry and to failure.

The Lure Of the Roof Garden.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The development of new uses for the
roofs of buildings has been so remarkable
during the past decade that the root
garden has come to play an important
part in the summer life of the dwellers
in every large American city. Instead or
the street cafes and open-air restaurants
scattered along the thoroughfares of Eu-
ropean cities. Americans are growing
more into the habit of climbing to the
roofs of high buildings for their refresh
ment and entertainment. In most cases,
however. the climb is made an easy one
BY the perfect working of the modern
elevator. The elaborate arrangements OF
some of these roof garden resorts seem
almost incredible when it is considered
that they are used only for the summer
season, averaging about four months IN
duration
The first roof gardens of the world are
lost in antiquity. Even before the Ia
nous hanging gardens OF NepuchadheI-
Ear in Babylon the people used the roofs
of their houses for sleeping ana Tecre-
alton purposes in warm weather. In oiu
oriental cities iat-roof houses are sun
found, which have stood Tor centuries
Upon these roofs the women OF the ram
lily have always been accustomed 10 take
their airings since the customs or their
race did not permit them to go INTO the
street.

day the little folks do not lose their out

being planned in connection with at least
two great American hostelries. This can
only be possible upon a roof covering a
large area of space on building of ex-
ceptional strength. At least one large
hotel already has provided an incline and
huge elevator by means of which a
large automobile may be raised to the
roof garden, giving its occupants an op-
portunity to see the view and obtain re-
freshments without getting out of their
machine
The use of the roof is not only for the
rich. The elaborate equipment of the
hotel is designed chiefly for the well-to-
do. but the cool air of house roof may
be free to thousands of unfortunates in
tenement districts who fine their close
rooms unbearable. Before roof gardens
were thought of as commercial institu-
ton tenement women took their babies
on the roofs. No arrangements existed
then for safety and the death of a child
from rolling off roof was not infrequent
NOW rev houses having a fiat roof, which
can be reached from the inside, are left
without some railing or protection which
would make such a fall impossible.
The roof gardens have developed other
uses than mere pleasure. The air at the
top of building from ten to twenty
stories high is purer and dryer than the
atmosphere OF the street below The loca-
ton of hospital in midair for 'lungers,
which kipling exploited as a possible de-
veiopment of the airship. is made feasible
now by utilizing the roof. A young man
IN New York developed symptoms Of
tuberculosis several years ago. He was
ordered to Arizona by his physician, who
said he could not live six months unless
ne kept absolutely out of doors. Instead
OF going to Arizona. the young man took
careful account of his resources. lie
found that he could provide himself with
necessities for year. A friend was in
charge of one of the largest office build
ines in the city. Arrangements were
made for the invalid to have the ex-
elusive use of the roof. He provided
himself with a small tent, an oil stove,
fuel and food supplies for a year His
food included a large portion of con-
densed milk. desiccated eggs and other
nutrients which could be preserved in
definitely.
He took up his residence on the roof

When 1t became known that Rev. Mr.
Miller was about 10 so on a vacation and
Miss Roy began wearing a large solitaire
diamond ring, il began TO be whispered
among some members of the congrega-
ton that he might not go alone.
Rev. Mr.. Miller is forty-nine years old
and is widower. and his bride Is twenty
two years old. They expect to return to

Dancing also is provided upon many

moonlight dancing, but when Lunas rays
are insufficient they are supplemented by
softly shaded electric lights not less
romantic in appearance. Plenty of
shadowy corners are to be found, but
