The Farmers Dog and the Farmers

The next morning when I went after
the milk a farmers shepherd dog
chased me around the smokehouse
seven times. I hit the dog with a
bucket and he tore my trousers and a
fat woman came to the rescue. Rus

the subject of fishing, and they cast
on until the little frogs were gone.
But the bass in Fox river were not
eating frogs that day.
Boyles called on all the German and
British gods of the Druid days to wit
ness that he had caught fish by the
car load in that river. In his dis
course he ranged from descriptive to
emphatic to earnestness to pathos.

me that the story would never end. 1

QUICKER CURE OF WOUNDS
Physicians Experiments Give Inspir

Victories Over Pain.

DR.. Carrels experiments in stimula-

the growth of tissue presents inspir-
ing prospects Of fresh victories over
pain.
The theory of the tests which may
lead to the cure Of a broken leg in
four or five days is based upon the
possibility Of accelerating the pro-
cesses whereby nature repairs In
1uries to its organisms by the replac-
Ing Of diseased or broken tissues with
strong and healthy ones. In other
words. 1t indicates the possibility Of
the growth Of tissues at much faster
rate than is the case in the ordinary
course Of events. Wonders have been
accomplished in this direction In ex-
periments with plant life, and even
with animal life in its lower forms.
The achievements of a dollhouse or Of
an incubator are merely incidents In

impulses Of nature. Bees are aided in

HER COLLEGE CAREER
BY HELEN DEAN.

1t was something unusual in our vii
lage for a girl to have aspirations for
a college career, and then, too, that 1t
should be Joe Miller's plain, freckle-
faced little Maggie, who had gradu-
ated from high school with honors.
but no flowers. Indeed, flowers had
not entered largely into Maggie's life.
After her mothers death she kept
house for her crippled father until
he died.
II Maggie heard how she was criti-
cised for thinking of spending her lit
tie inheritance so foolishly, she did
rot let it affect her. She went TO
college. and we did not see anything
of her for four years. When she came
back, We scarcely recognized Joe's
girl in the TALL beautiful young lady
who was so kind and sweet to all
of US, that we began to think college
might be pretty good thing for girl,
after all. But it was as we feared,
Maggie-Margaret, as she called her
self-had ideas; she couldn't settle
down.
Mrs Stover said she came to her
house one evening and told her that
she was interested in domestic SCI
ence. and that after having given the
servant-girl problem much study, she
had come TO the conclusion that II
good, capable girls would take up the
work, the standard would be raised
and this noble profession lifted from
the depths to which it had fallen. She
then asked Mrs. Slower point blank
whether she would let her daughters
go out with her to service. Mrs.
Stover has a weak heart, and she had
a spell right there.
Maggie was not easily discouraged.
She visited all her girl friends, but
not one was sufficiently interested In
the good work to sacrifice precon-
ceived ideas. Mrs. Ivan. however, said
that she had presented the matter to
her in such an attractive light that
she really thought of encouraging her
Anna Belle, but, as she argued, it
might ruin her future prospects,
young man fraom Spring Dale was
calling at the Ivan home-and that
Joe Miller's Maggie had nothing to
lose in that way. We really felt
sorry for Maggie. II she had stayed
at home, she might have eventually
married some plain, honest man, but
now. We agreed, she was matrimo-
nially dead. No man would stand for
Maggie succeeded in getting a posi-
tion as cook with the Van Skiver's
down on the River road. We heard
through their nurse that when the
eldest son came home for vacation he
spent too much time in the kitchen to
suit his mother, so she told her cook
she didn't need her services longer.
She went to the city in the fall and
secured employment with a college
professors family. We heard nothing
of her for about two years, then Lit
tleton had a sensation. A marked
copy Of city paper was sent on.
Van uett-MiIIer.
Rather unique wedding took place
on the 3Oth, at Hall Crest, the summer
home of Prof. Andrew Arlington. Miss
Margaret Miller and DR.. Henry Van
Huett were united in marriage.
Mrs. Van Huett is interested in So
cial work. and was employed as a do
mestice in the Arlington home, where
nestle in the Arlington home, where
marriage ceremony took place in the
kitchen, according to the wishes of
the bride.
