BENEATH THIS MANS DIGNITY
Was Willing to Do Much, but Drew
the Line at Acting as Secretary
to Barnyard Fowl.

A farmer in one of the neighboring
townships, who had gone into sclen-
tiic poultry raising, hit upon the
scheme of marking each egg with GER
tain data in indelible ink. His idea
was to find which variety of chickens
laid best, and then, when the eggs
were Matched, attach a tag to the
chickens legs He soon found that
his hired man was negligent about
properly inscribing the eggs. One day
not an egg was marked, and the farm
er read him the riot act.
The hired man, listened in sullen
silence until the boss finished. Then
he said:
See here. You'll have to get an
other man."
why, Jim, you're not going to leave
me, after working for me for six
years."
Eyes, l am" returned the hired
man. I've done all sorts of odd
chores for you without a whimper, but
Pm burned if I'm going to stay here
and be secretary to any burned hen!"

TAKING a Chance.

Senator Lee S. Overman of North
Carolina, when a young man, was
private secretary to Gov. Vance Of
that state. The governor was a can
didate for election to the United
States senate, and his most formida-
BILE opponent was Senator Merriman.
at that time the incumbent.
In the heat of the campaign young
Overman fell in love with Merriman's
daughter, and prosecuted his suit with
all the ardor of southern wooer. At
length things reached stage where
he felt that he could no longer con-
tinue to hold his position as secre-
tary to the opponent of the father Of
his lady-love.
So, in a heart-to-heart talk with
Gov. Vance he confided the true state
of affairs, setting forth that while his
position as secretary was highly ad-
vantageous to him from sordid,
worldly point of view, it was well
sacrificed on the altar Of love, etc.
Don't be fool, son." interrupt
ed the governor. IF Merriman can
stand you for a son-in-law, ] reckon
/ can stand you for secretary"
Overman held down both jobs.

Queen Mary's Dress Eclipsed others

Queen Mary's Dress Ectipsed Others.
It appears that among all the elab-
crate dresses worn at the wedding of
the kaiser's daughter that of her maj
esty, Queen Mary, was singled out for
special admiration. Magnificent as
was the green jeweled brocade and
velvet of the German empress, the sill
yer brocade and pink velvet of the
crown princess, the cloth of gold and
train of Irish lace worn by Queen
Mary eclipsed them. The gown was
worked with design of flowers in
colored diamante, and the lace train
was lined with cloth of gold and had
a deep embroidery in leaf design. Her
jewels were magnificent, comprising
the diamond crown, the lesser Star of
Africa and deep collar, also dia-
monds.

MAKING Boiled Milk PalatabIe.

Everybody knows that boiled milk
keeps much more satisfactorily in
warm weather than raw milk-in fact,
boiling milk Is the one sure way Of
keeping it on sultry day. But to
many persons the taste of boiled milk
is unpalatable, and to others even its
odor Is unpleasant.
To overcome these two faults, try
boiling the milk in a tightly-closed,
double boiler. Do not remove the
cover, but allow the milk to stay over
the fire in the double boiler for ten
minutes after the water has begun to
boil Then put the milk, still tightly
covered Immediately on the ice and
cool it quickly.

Art and Common Sense.

It Is of no use to spend money by
the handful on the arts unless it Is
done with common sense and a love
of those arts. The arts are stronger
than ourselves. We must serve them
faithfully. If we talk in an impudent
manner about "elevating" an art we
are only giving ourselves away and
showing our ignorance. No one can
elevate" the dramatic art unless he
can and will write play higher than
Hamlet" or Faust" and surprising
the Greek dramatists.-A. e. F. Horni-

AT PIE COUNTER.
The Hungry Ones Wait While Wilson
Watches Tariff.

Washington, D. c., May 17.-More
than two months and a half have
fluttered off the calendar since the
new chief was installed at the national
pie counter. Despite the enormous
stock on hand, fewer than 200 of the
$4,000 or 40, 900 slices of government
patronage have been distributed by
President Wilson.
All of these lean years, the hungry
Democratic patriots who arrived here
something like a month before in
auguration see little hopes in sight
President Wilson is engaged in far
more important work just now than
dispensing patronage. There are still
two or three months left of tariff
work-and the president is most
careful not to complicate that situa-
ton by getting it tangled up with any
patronage rows with senators. In
other words he wants to see what the
senators will do with the Underwood
bill, which he approves from one end
to the other, before he hands out the
much anticipated juicy slices of pa
tronaee. The tariff bill is his club.

Started Glass Fifteen Years Ago.
Fifteen years ago Mrs. Menninger
began her teaching of the Bible. Al
ways a fine student she wanted to
make an exhaustive study of the Scrip
, lures. DIR. J. D. Countermine, then
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, suggested to Mrs. Menninger
that she organize a Bible class and
teach it. She did and right from the
start it was a success, but she found
that the time to teach in Sunday
| school was too limited. So week day
| classes We're organized and they We're
a success at once, due as much to Mrs
| Menningers personality as to any 9TH
! er single factor. She is a brilliant
woman, intensely in earnest, and ex-
| ceptionally capable. Indefatigably
| she has worked in behalf of her
chosen field. She has put her whole
| self into it, has made an exhaustive
study of the Scriptures has worked
| out a course of study which is dis
| tinct success, and has the necessary
| qualification in work of this kind to
| inspire others with her own enthusi-
| asm. Her students have been faithful
| in the highest degree. She has gradu-
| ated eight different classes which
