SIMPLE EXPLANATION.

'Frost year, fruit year; year Of
snow, fruit will grow" "a year of
snow, a year of plenty" and "A late
spring never deceives," all three of
which mean the same thing, are very
easily explained. If the winter is a
normal one, with plenty of frost and
snow, and spring comes at the right
time, it is not possible for the fruit
trees to blossom prematurely and be
later killed by hard frost or de-
stroyed by alternate thawing and
freezing. Consequently, all this
proyerb means, and its meaning, is
quite obvious, is that normal sea-
sons mean normal fruit crops.

"A Clay Center man who lives
on the hill was nearly dead with the
heat one evening recently when bed
time came, so he opened the window
wide and pulled his bed right up
against the open place." writes i. +.
Valentine. "Ie went to sleep.
Along in the night he awakened with
start. My goodness, it was raining
to beat the band. He was soaked,
the bed was soaked and dripping
wetness, a pool of water stood in
the middle of the floor, the curtains
were as wet rags and little streams
of water were running down them
onto the floor. The room was almost
like swimming pool. Up jumped
Mr.. Man and slammed down the
windows, and after fixing up the
room a little (his wife was away
from home and he was the only per-
son in the house) he retired again,
rejoicing in the thought that the
drought was broken. But was it?
Well, only in spots. Here's the de-
nouement There are so many water
users these days that residents in
the north part Of town get little wa
ter during the sprinkling hours Of
the evening. Our friend had ar
ranged the lawn sprinkler to give the
yard a wetting, but only little wa
ter dribbled out. The sprinkler was
close to the window, but that fact
was not noticed. Then Mr.. Man,
not getting any water, forgot about
1t and went to bed. But along in
the night other water users cut of
and the pressure came again to the
hill tribes. Gradually the pressure
became stronger, until water was be-
ing thrown clear across the room.
The man is wondering what his wife
will say when she comes home"-

Probability That Western Man 10 En-
titled to the Championship
Of tipe World.

Reference was made TO the optim-
ism of a certain party in the lobby
of a Washington hotel the other
night when Congressman Willis C.
Hawley of Oregon broadly smiled
and said the party in question would
have to go some TO beat the record
Of Jim Jones.
Jim Jones, so related the con-
gresham, lives in an eastern subur-
ban town. Some time ago a friend,
in passing Jim's house, noticed a
hole in the ground and a pile of
bricks close by. He wondered, but
there was nobody at hand TO explain.
Further down the street he met an
other friend of Jim's.
"Say, jake" queried the first,
"what in the deuce is going on down
at Jim'sH His place is mussed up
like building operation!"
"That's what's coming off," an
swered Jake. ~He Is building a
garage"

exclaimed the other. what for?

LAND or WINGED CREATURES
6orneo Unique IN the Number OF AD&
maIs, Fish and Reptiles That
Navigate tho Ala

In Borneo winged creatures are
encountered where one would least
expect them. Flying fish the size Of
behring's are found in all the waters,
and there is the flying fox, the we'll
known fruit-eating bat which the
Malays call 'kruang." They may be
seen almost any evening winging
their steady flight, often at a great
elevation well out Of range Of a shot
gun The flying squirrel, as evening
twilight comes, is also seen. They
glide down from one lofty tree to the
base of another, up which they
scramble to the level they started
from. Wide expansions Of skin be-
tween the fore and hind limbs act in
parachute fashion and sustain them
in their glide. They are of some
size, but are quite harmless. The fly
ing lizard is seen in the heat of the
day in the jungle gliding down with
a flash in much the same manner as
the squirrel. But he is much smaller
and it requires a quick eye to detect
him. The natives kill him with a
clay ball shot from their blowpipes

Women. are regarded as some
thing of a novelty in modern ag-

help is usually conceded to be the
most serious one that is encounter

of course, is doubly difficult for
the average woman farmer. Indeed
most farmers regard il as almost
u ,ohibitive to woman's entering that
field of work. NY own convictions
are that ii is useless for a woman

FIRE CAUTIONS

Any splits or cracks. however
small. below the fire line in the
stove. are dangerous. Ashes al
ways should be put out in a metal
vessel-2ever in a wooden receipt
acle of any kind.
Never throw out hot ashes while
the wind is blowing hard, for you
may set fire to some building.
Stovepipe joints should be rivet-
ed together to prevent their slip
ping apart and allowing sparks to
fly out.
Ashes taken directly from the
stove and thrown out at evening
are apt TO contain sparks that may
be Ca rried by the wind to some
building before morning.
SCOT that collects in the Chin
ney often catches fire and sparks
settling on the house roof set 1t
ON fire. Clean out the chimney &C.
casionally.
Never set a lantern down around
the barn. as there are too many
chances of it's being knocked over
and setting a fire. Always have
pegs or hooks to hang the lantern
on in places where it is used most
After you have used match
throw the burned stub into the swill
pail, stove or where il will be de-
stroyed or extinguished immediate
ly. If used out of doors place your
foot on it to make sure it goes out.
Where the stovepipe enters the
chimney is a connection that will
require constant attention. Ii the
pipe slips in too far the draft will
be poor; il it pulls out it is apt to
set the house Attire. A wire wrap
ed around the elbow and fastened
firmly to the wall on each side OF
where it enters the chimney. will
hold il in place.

Justice.
However inexplicable may seem
Events and circumstances upon
this earth,
Though favogs fall on those whom
none esteem,
And insult and indifference greet
worth;
Though poverty repays the life of
toll,
And riches spring where Idle
feet have trod,
And storms lay waste the patient
ly titled soil
Yet justice sways the universe of
God.
As undsturbed the stately stars
remain
Beyond the glare OF days OBJ
scuring light.
So Justice dwells. though mortal
eyes in vain
Seek ii persistently by reasons
sight.
But when, once freed, the illumin-
ed soul looks out,
