franklin's Challenge.

Every boy should learn to do
something for himself in the
way o f trade or profession.
Then, whatever happens he will
be able to take care of himself
at least. The boy or girl who is
willing to do anything. genearl-
ly ends up by doing nothing very
well.
Benjamin Franklin knew how
to set type we'll. When a mere
youth he found himself in Lon

the necessity of earning his liv-

trade, and went into printers
shop to look for work.
Where are you from?" inquir-

The foreman looked doubtful,
but said, Can you set type?"
Franklin stepped to one of the
cases and set up accurately and
quickly this passage: Nathan

Come and see." It was a very
tactful way of accepting the
challenge and it won him a place

Lives off One Acre.

George Higgin b o t h a m, of
Mountain Home, Ark, says that
he will again make a living off
his acre of ground this season. if
a drouth does not strike his Sec
ton. This is an acre that ten
years ago grew nothing but hog
weeds and would hardly sprout
a grain of corn. Intensified
farming does it, and Mr.. Higgin-
botham is known as the most in
tensive farmer in the country.
His living is not meager one,
as one might suppose, either, for
it comes right fresh from moth
er earth, and he lives in about
the same style as the average
city man does on $75 a month
salary and has a family to sup
port.
There is nothing remarkable
about his miniature farm. At
first he made living off it be-
cause he had to, and now be-
cause he can. His secret is to
keep something growing on ev-
cry inch of it all the time and to
keep the soil both by working
and fertilization so that the stuff
will grow all The time. Not an
inch of the acre is wasted. AS
fast as one crop is taken off, an
other is put on.
In looking about for other ad-
ditions that would bring him a
profit on his miniature farm he
decided on cows and chickens.
The calves from the two cows
bring him $50 a year. There is
always a demand for good butter
in many instances above the
market price. and this end is
looked after by his wife with in
finite care, and brings in a tidy
sum weekly. He keeps but thir-
ty hens during the winter, which
gives him eggs to sell every day.
in the spring he raises young
spring chickens for the market
in large numbers.
Mr.. Higginbotham says that
any one can make living off
one acre of lard if they properly
tend and fertilizs it and keep
something growing on every inch
ali the time. 'All | will ever
want to farm will be five acres. "
said Higginbitham. Five acres
I tended right will make any FAM
lily a living and a a net profit of
$1,000 every year in an average
season.

Animals That Count.

Nearly everyone has seen
trained animals that count" or
at least give the impression".that
they can count. Most of this is
performed by means of signals
the trainer makes which are un-
derstood by the animals. The
gesture of a hand, the tone of
voice, the stamping of the foot,
and various other signals will en-
able horse or other animals to
pick out the number wanted, or
stop counting" at a given num-
Der, the counting being done by
taps of the hoof.
But there are unframed ami
mails that can count, and not up
to the ordinary six or 20 numbers
that about limit their ability in
shows. Rather, they can count
to 80 or 100.
| In some of the minds of Hahn
ault horses are used to haul loads
of ore over little roadway and
back by another route. as the
tunnels are narrow Thirty such
trips constitute a days work for
the horse, and without a word
from drivers, these horses will
start for the great incline that
leads to their stable at the end
the thirtieth trip. In fact, many
of the drivers doi not keep ac-
count of the trips at all, know
ing the horse will do so, and
when at the end of the thirtieth
trip the horses wheel suddenly
and make for the outlet, these
drivers have to jump and hold
them long enough to loosen the
catches that hold the tugs to the
little cars.
Bat even this is heated by oxen.
"The stupid OK" has become q
we'll known phrase the world
over, and yet, according to Mon
taigne, the oxen employed in the
royal gardens of Susa to turn
the wheels to which water pals
are attached absolutely refuse to
do more than 100 rounds, as that
was their days work.
This work consisted of having
the oxen travel in a circle, keep
ing the water-drowing wheel in
motion, and without fail on the
hundredth trip around the circle
the oxen would stop. Nor could
they be urged to make another
. round.
1t is said that wild apes can
count to four, and in order tc
hunt them at least five hunters
go out and four leave the place
in a manner that will attract the
: apes. After the fourth hunter
has gone the apes will come out,
and are thus secured, but they
, will never go out from their
cover until four hunteIs have
: been seen leaving the place. The
same is also claimed by natural,
, lists of rocks and magpies.

Former Governor to Urge Big
City Movement at.
Banquet.

The consolidation of the Oranges
as suggested by Mayor Gregory. of
East Orange. TO prevent annexation
to Newark because the tax rate is
expected to soar in the near future
on account of the many improve
ments to be made is being agitated
in other quarters.
Former Governor J. Franklin Fort
is the latest advocate of the scheme.
1t viii be his topic at the dinner of
the East Orange realty men at Eng
lishs on February y. When asked
by Eugene Kelly, president of the
Board of Real Estate Brokers, If he
would give an address, Mr.. Fort
readily consented and chose THE
Unity of the Oranges as his subject.
Mr. Fort takes the stand that any
official who seriously suggests that
it would be best for the Oranges to
unite as one municipality is to be
congratulated. He believes that the
four Oranges now have the same big
problems to face concerning the Sc
curing of additional water supply,
disposal of sewage and removal OF
grade crossings, and that much
would be saved by unity.
Several other well-known men will
address the diners. Those scheduled
to give talks besides Mr.. Fort are
Mayor Gregory. former Councilman

sioner George S. Hubert, the Rev
Edward NJ. Farrell. acting rector OF

ments is composed of James H

BOY MAKES PLEA
FOR PAS CHICKENS
OratoricaI Effort Lost on Court,
Who Summons Accused
Parent.

In the role of Demosthenes, Ed
ward Messenger, a boyish looking
chap in his teens. appeared before
Recorder Francis A. Mott, in the East
Orange Police Court today, in behalf
Of his father, Frederick. His elo-
quence was devoted 10 an inspiring
discourse on chickens.
my father has been summoned to
appear before you. your honor" he
began, TO answer to charge of
having allowed his chickens TO run
at large.
i am here TO plead in his stead.
and / want to ask your honor why
my father should be thus singled out
among the many chicken raisers in
Orange who let their fowls run loose =?
Why should this infamy be brought
upon him. Why should a license be
required In this town and not in
others? Is Orange so SUPERIOR"
Recorder Mott interrupted the ora
torical flow long enough to tell the
young advocate that ignorance of a
law was no excuse for violating il,
and to direct the elder Messenger TO
be summoned to appear on Thursday
Edward Messenger was primed on
the subject Of chickens He had pre-
viously sent to the Board of Health
a letter, which follows in part:
II would like TO see the law passed
at Trenton. What do you have to
secure a license for. anyhow Does
it make the chickens lay any bet
ter? Does it keep them from getting
sick?
II can show at least twenty-five
other places in the city where the
chickens can run at large. ! will
not stop my chickens from running
around until you stop everybody else,
and l will make it my business to
see that you stop the others.
How is 1t that East Orange is the
only place where you have to have
a license and where you cannot let
the chickens run? Are the people
in East Orange any better than the
people in Newark. Bloomfield or Or
ange? Who gave the Board of Health
the power to pass this rule? want
