Force of Habit,

The editor Is reminded OF an Incl
dent that happened a week ago. Two
nice girls, out for early bargains, met
in front of store on the avenue.
Il saw you in church yesterday
dear" gurgled one.
"Oh! were you in church," gurgled
the other.
"Yes, love. And noticed that you
had at last made your husband &C,
company you to divine worship"
"Of course he went with me. He'd
rather go to the theater, but the thea.
ters aren't showing anything on Sun
days now. But he disgraced me-"
I'm church? How?"
"The rector read four chapters from
The Acts of the Apostles. And my
husband insisted on getting up and
going out after every act."-Cleveland

The farmers flock should be pro-

ties. They should be good table fowls.
To satisfy ,nis requirement they must
be of good size, plump and of good ap-
pearance when dressed. They must
be hardy and good foragers, as there
Is much waste food on the farm that
can be converted into cash returns
by the fowls. The hens must be good
sitters and mothers, as many farmers
are not ready to buy incubators-al-
though they should do so at once.
These are questions that are being
studied by the careful, and each in
diyidual will have to determine the
matter for himself. An old farmer
who is now off the active list, but still
lives on the farm and raises poultry
as a diversion says he visited many
poultry shows just to inspect some
of the best birds of the new varieties,
and he says that he has never seen
anything better than the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandotte varieties for real
business stock. He said: you can
tell inquirers that these two breeds
are still at the top. and there are
enough varieties of them to please
any sensible person. AS to individual
taste, the old Indian said If men were
all alike they would all want his
squaw."
So many varieties Of chickens have
been evolved that 1t seems as If there
should be nothing left to be sought
or desired in the way of beauty or
utility.

OF course, we've got to keep on
working, said Captain Storen last
night. But it looks more like a
hoax to me than anything else. If
real kidnapers had planned the
thing why should they use an ex-
press wagon to carry the trunk to
an automobile instead of using the
automobile from the start? why
would they carry two license mum
bers and display both at once? All
these things a group OF jokers might
do for the fun of eousing confusion
but real kidnapers would consider
such things too risky"
