PUT A KINK IN HIS PLANS
Awful Contingency Youth Had Not
Foreseen in His Laying Out Of
the Future.

Eleven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties OF
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and we'll, my boys1l have lots
of fun"
Tommy's mother with twinkle in
her eye said: "But, Tommy, what il
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what if your children are all girls!"
Such possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look of blank dismay
passed over the child's face.
Gee! that would be the dickens!''

CHOSE LESSER OF TWO EVILS
Theatrical Manager, Cornered, Yield
ed Passes When Threatened With
Distressing Affection.

A poet with a precious scrap-book
of his own writings under his arm
wandered by a theater, when suddenly
the idea struck him that he would
like to see play that night, go enter
ing the place he asked for the press
agent. That gentleman was out, but
the manager was in. He was ushered
in, and the deus ex machina inquired
his business. Il would like two seats
for tonight" faltered the man of verse.
AN who might you be?" asked the
manager. The poet mentioned his
name. ''Um, yes" smiled the other,
I've heard of you, but why should |
give you seats?" The bard murmured
something about courtesy to the press,
and added that probably Identified
ton might be necessary, SO, as he had
a scrap-book of his published poems,
he would be glad if But the mana
ger cut him short, and calling out to
his secretary to make out couple Of
passes for that night, said: my dear
sir, I'd rather give you the whole
house than read your poems!"

from Bideford, England, and is told
by the Pail Mall Gazette. During
sheep shearing operations on Gourn-
wood farm one of the shearers cut into
q feshy substance, and examination
showed that he had cut in half young
starting, which was in nest that had
been built in the sleeps wool, and
which contained two other fiedglings
still alive. The nest was composed of
moss and twigs. For some weeks
previous to the shearing the sheep,
with the others, had the run of three

wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show thatE
in the Province of Manitoba, whichE
stands out as one of great wealth an0s

under wheat increased from 1865 200

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie a year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to a normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was large area which 1t was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as a general
thing seeding was later than usual. A

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.

RELIC OF HEATHENISM
6ELfEF IN VAMPIRES is MANY
CENTURIES OLD.
As Strong Today in Russia and the
Balkan States as 1t Ever Was
Superstition Leads Frequently
to Violation of Graves.

Proofs of the persistence of the
belief in the reality of vampires are
to hand from a small Russian village.
Some three years ago the head of a
family resident there died, and since
that date nine other members of the
family have also died.
Believing that their deaths were the
result Of the rowing spirit of their
chief, the remaining surviving mem
bers Of the family assembled together
a few evening since, disinterred the
remains, and cut Off the head, again
burying the body. They hope by this
means to prevent any further evil
happening to the family
The belief in vampires can be
traced back for more than two thou
sand years, yet there is not on record
a single authenticated instance of a
vampire having been seen by a hui
man being, and there are no data
available by means of which the orr
gin of the belief can be ascertained
with any degree of certainty.
These blood-sucking apparitions, or
living, mischievous, murderous dead
bodies," as one writer quantity term
ed them, were common to all coun-
tries, whether Occident or Oriental,
but it was generally agreed that the
phenomena of vampirism were to be
seen only in persons cursed by their
parents, communicated by the
church, the illegitimate offspring of
parents themselves illegtimate or
people attacked by vampires after
death
Quite recently there was reported
IN the daily press the story of Hun
garian farmer who had dug up the
corpse of supposed vampire, stuffed
three pieces Of garlic and three
stones in the mouth and then driven
a stake through the body. Servia and
Bulgaria follow closely in the wake
of Hungary, and in the eighteenth
century an official examination Of
many graves was made, and the re-
port of such examination embodied in
public document. 1t states that a
large number of undecomposed bod
les, undoubtedly those of vampires,
were discovered. In 1863 there was
an epidemic of vampirism in a Bull
garian village.
The inhabitants became SO fright
ened that when night set in instead of
retiring to rest in the usual manner,
they all assembled together in one
central hall to pass the night in COM
pany. While they We're away from
their houses, however, the enraged
vampires entered them, turned every
thing topsyturvy and smeared all the
pictures, ornaments and furniture
with blood and dirt.
The Russians hold tenaciously to a
belief in the reality of vampires, but
they attribute the birth of a vampire
as due to an unholy union between
a witch and werewolf, or devil. In
many parts of Russia watchers re-
main by the dead right through every
night until burial.
