AFFLICTED Relatives, In the First Throes
of Distress, Induced to Assume
Pecuniary Burdens That Lat

One cannot go among the poor very
much without hearing more or less cir
cumstantial stories of how the I'M
scrupulous undertaken fieeces them,
writes Arthur B. Reeves in Harper's
Weekly. In fact, nothing less than
ghoulish are some of the stories that
are related to show how pressure is
brought to bear on distracted people
to cause them excessive expense in
burying their dead. A dying husband
begged his wife that she give him
only a plain funeral. She promised,
but when the undertaken came the
relatives were present. AS soon as
she said she wanted only a modest
funeral the undertaken sneered. SIS
that all you thought of your husband
to bury him like that?" She was
shamed into spending not only more
than she had promised, but more than
the insurance he had asked her to
save.
"This is the last thing you can do
for your wife," one undertaken urged
q poor porter, "and you don't want to
be haunted by the thought that you
were mean" Then the crafty trades
man in death pointed to the children
and cruelty wrung the mans heart by
adding: "If you don't do the right
thing by their mother they will curse
you to your dying day" 1t is hardly
necessary to say that this distracted

to actual hunger and want.
Another undertaken refused to go to
Bellevue for the body of child until
the mother gave him golden cruel
fix, an heirloom, as security. Such
cases could be multiplied If 1t were
of any use, for cases of this kind are
so common among the very poor as to
be almost proverbial. That is not tc
say that all undertakers, or even 9
majority of them, are rogues. They
are precisely like every other body o.

A RESUME ON RoosTs.

Poultry house furniture should be
cheap, simple, take up little room, Just
fit the flock and be movable for quick
cleaning and transfer.
Roosts should have these character
istics. We present two for inspection:
The first shows n set with dropping
boards nailed up in a corner. This
roost Is too heavy, costly, it cannot be
moved for cleaning and red mites or
ticks will hide and breed behind it like
bedbugs In the cracks of bughouse
building, and If these poultry pests
once get a hold a continuous fight
must be kept up and often the roost
be torn out to get at them. Same with
stationary nests.
The second Is a cheap, simple affair

DON'TS.

Don't try to raise poultry in town
without fence or your neighbors will
quickly take offense.
Don't work with one eye on the clock
and the other on the boss You'll get
caught In the cogs and go to the dogs.
Don't bite off more chicklets than
you can chew. Better hatch reason
able number and raise them than to
hatch lot and raise them not.
Don't forget that every egg that
doesn't hatch and every chick that dies
is so much off the profit The fnan-
cial finale depends on the detail.
Don't over the first matches go crazy
ana over the others get lazy. Be en-
thusiastic, optimistic and industrious
all the way through in what you do
and providence will favor you.
Don't waste time arguing about
breeds and methods. If you're sure
you're right then go ahead. but don't
be a bullhead
Don't expect your wife to make
much on mOngrel hens. Thoroughbred
strains for beauty and gains
Don't sell preserved eggs for fresh.
Some customer slick will see through
your trick you'll be jerked up quick
and then what a shame for few pen
nice gain you've lost your good name
