UNLOAD.


 Few people do ALL that it is pos sible for them to do. One reason is that some people attempt to do too much ALONE or too soon Work done shoddily or with little thinking back of it is almost valueless-some- times worse than no work at all. If this truth ever fits your case, here's save suggestion-before you go ahead with too much work-Unload. The Executive and Leader is the man who knows how and when to Unload and distribute the affairs that he desires accomplished
 The Clerk who climbs is the Clerk who is able to pass to an assistant work that can be done better than he could do It. Everyone has his place, and if it is filled honorably and we'll the credit given for Ser vice is as great proportionately in one place as another. Learn to Unload. and you will have learned how to rise in the world.
 Carry Equipment into each Task sufficient but for that Task.

The develcpemtn is plausible. the actino of uniformly high order, and the photography excellent. The Photo graphy, in fact, deserves more than
 he conventional word of praise, for it has been made a notable feature Of the production. Some of the interior night effects reveal extra ordinary camera work even in this day of photographic achievement

All-Night Theaters.

Many Indian theaters keep their
performances going until four or five
in the morning. These dramatic or
gies are not, says the Times, of India,
however, due to the length of the
plays, as in Chinese theaters, but to
the fact that the tramcars do not be-
gin running till Ave o'clock. AS the
spectators gather from distant viii
lagos and have strong objections to
paying gharry hire, they expect to be
entertained until the trans start. One
can scarcely wonder that theaters in
which the actors and actresses are on
the stage from eight in the evening
till five in the morning do not display
much histrionic excellence. OF course,
the system would be impossible If the
theaters were open every night of the
week, but the strain on the players
must be cruel, though it is confined to
Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday
nights. One has often been struck In
an Indian theater by the leisurely
manner in which everything is done.
Now we have the explanation.

INSPECT YOUR ROSES DAILY

The familiar old rose bug is ever

Look out for the rogue. Hand pick
ing is as good as any remedy.
Rose slugs arrive during June and
also later on. Whale oil soap keeps
them down.
Aphis are deadly enemies to roses
right along They thrive by sucking
the rose juice. Kerosene is effective
for house roses.
In putting out roses remember to
prepare much larger opening than
the pot. Mix SCOT and trife of lime
in luke warm water and pour into
the hole Shake the earth away and
set the roots carefully into the hole,
closing quickly and patting gently
down.
When first put down allow only one
main stem to grow. Remove all
shoots starting from near the leaves.
Never put roses on the north side
of the house, because they need all
the sun they can get every day they
live.

Ships 100000 cucumbers.

This town claims to be the cucum-

soil about that section has been found
to be suited to the culture of the
vines.
Some 100000 of the cucumbers are
shipped daily to other places for sale
and to pickle factories, the prices
ranging around $1.35 thousand. But
that is only the summer cucumber
business, and does not compare with
the winter industry of Worcester
county, where the cucumbers are
raised in hothouses and sold for five

are luxuries for the tables of the rich,

ADMITTED DEBTS TO WIVES
Statesmen Acknowledge Benefits of
Better Halves.


Compliments have frequently been
paid by famous statesmen to their
wives. 1t will be remembered how
Disraeli dedicated "SybiP' "to the
most severeNof critics, but a perfect
Wife" and when certain wit, who
never allowed good taste to wait on
his humor, was rallying Disraeli on
his marriage he received the cutting
reply:
ri married from motive which
do not expect you to understand
gratitude"
Mr.. Gladstone, in old age, said to a
friend: "My wife has known every
political secret l have ever had, and
has never betrayed my confidence, "
and others have borne tribute to "the
tender viligance which sustained and
prolonged his years.
Lady Salisbury, with no aptitude or
inclination for public life, was the
stay, confidante and social helpmeet
of her husband.
At dinner to Mrs. Lloyd George in
London, at which she was presented
with replica of portrait of her
husband, letter was read from Mr..
Lloyd George expressing deep appre-
citation of the "great kindness which
prompts my friends to present to the
brave little woman who is my wife a
portrait of the troublesome person
whom she has stood by through good
and evil report.

than those laid by hens. No one
disputes the fact that the pullets lay
more eggs than hens, but their eggs
are never SO large.
Leghorn pullets commence to lay
when about six months of age, while
many of them start at five months.
Therefore, 1t Is very easy matter to
raise pullets so that they will be lay
ing the winter after they are Matched.
Pullet eggs do not hatch as well as
those of hens. Not only that, but the
chicks do not seem nearly so strong
and lively as those hatched from
hens eggs. For this reason, the writer
would advise pullets for market eggs
and hens for breeders. The question
of which is the better, depends upon
whether you are using your eggs for
market or for breeding purpose.-Bet-
