Ii is not only the suffragettes that
have grievances. Married women now
are filling the London press with walls
that their better halves have no time
for love-making.
The chief mourners are Lady Cow

is the head of one of the greatest con-
tracing firms in the world, and Lady
Alexander. who is married to the actor
manager, Sir George Alexander.
Lady Cowdray admits the affection
of capable business man is of truer
worth than that of the lovelike hus-
band who loafs about the house all day
and requires more attention than six
children. Lady Alexander on the other
hand, claims that the business mans
quality as lover is in inverse ratio
to the magnitude of his business.

NOTHING TO SCARE HIM

II just got back from a big-game
hunt yesterday" said the young sports
man. There were six of us in the
party and we had lot of fuA."
did you bring back any tfophies?"
asked a fellow boarder.
We'll, no, but we had plenty of
sport. Two of us who had never killed
mountain lion and bear learned exact.
ly how to do it from the four sports
men on the train going up. The way
l do said one of the old hands, is to
shoot the bear under the fourth rib,
and l always like to get my mountain
lion with bullet just over the left
eye.'

pert. i shoot them in the neck
az like hand-to-hand encounters
said third expert. Especially when
it comes to bear. Let Mr.. Bear start
hugging me and he gets my hunting
knife right in the hearth
THE first night after we got to
camping one of the old hunters came
in and told how he had killed bear
with his hunting knife after a desper-
ate struggle, but the bear had fallen
into chasm where the hunter couldn't
get him.
another came in and said he had
killed the biggest mountain lion he
ever saw, but the lion had jumped
over a cliff.
"a third expert came in and said
that he had seen a bear carrying off
the other two members of the party
by the trousers. He said it was lucky
for me that had stayed in camp that
day.
while we were talking big storm
broke. There was flash of lightning
and clap of thunder. 1t scared the
hero whose bear had fallen into a
chasm and he said:
"'Boys, told lie. haven't killed
a bear or even seen one!
Then there came terrible clap of
thunder and the hunter who had
brought such sad tieings of our absent
friends said:

next flash of lightning came there
stood a bear about ten feet high, right
in the door of our tent!
Zone of the hunters who had
achieved such triumphs at various
times jumped up and dived into the
milk can and closed the top down
tight after him The others bolted un.
der the edge of the tent and escaped.
what did you do?"
ooh, killed the bear" said the
sportsman. las coon as saw how
badly scared the other fellows were ]

bear. 1t was funny, though, how
frightened those other fellows were!'

book of poems, entitled joaquin ct

fame.
How in the world" she asked him,
do you expect to climb Parnassus

is bad enough, but Cincinnatus Heine
is impossible!"
But what can do?" Miller asked.

CALIFORNIA CAT A WONDER
Fleet Pussy Ran Down Jaekrabblt and
Brought Its Carcass Home as
Evidence of Fact.

In western Colusa county, Cali
fornia, on the Jones ranch, is a cat
called Baby, which, according to
Frank NJ Woodson, humane officer,
surpasses all the cats he has killed
and the multitude of others he has
seen and heard of.
This cat, because of the admiration
shown by. Woodson, added another
record to his long list while the hunt
er visited his master. Woodson had
been out hunting rabbits and came
in with goodly bag. Baby was not
to be outdone by the visitor and went
on hunting trip all alone.
Woodson gives Baby's description as
follows Height, 141s inches; length
of front leg from toes to elbow joints,
seven inches: length from tip of nose
to tip of tail, 3S.4 inches. Outside of
this Baby is simply cat with a
beautiful disposition. and mezzoso-
prano voice.
To chase feet jackrabbit and
keep it in sight is some feat. But
Woodson's feline friend did not stop
at mere pursuit, He kept at its fly
ing hind legs for three miles, caught
and killed it. For absolute proof
Baby carried his prey clear back
home, over a six-foot fence, and left it
on the back porch.

com4atina the chiooer.

The chigger is red, six-legged mite
so small that it can scarcely be seen
with the naked eye. In certain locali-
ties all over the corn belt it is abun-
dant from the middle of June until late
in August. 1t seems to be especially
common in wood land and on berry
bushes. 1t is naturally vegetarian, and
when it causes pain to chickens and
children, it is not because it is search
ing for blood. In fact, entomologists
tell us that the chiggers which burrow
into the skin, causing red welts, be-
cause of the poison which they ex-
crete, by SO doing destroy themselves.
No very effective method of combat
ing the pest has yet been devised.
Washing in hot water and then apply
ing kerosene to the affected parts will
do some good. Another good wash is
one part of pure crystals of carholic
acid in fifty or one hundred parts of
water.--Wallaces Farmer.

WHERE THE EGG is USEFUL
Know, but Also Valuable In
Many Other Ways.

We know that eggs are almost in
dispensable for cooking, but they are
just as valuable for other things as
well.
A mustard plaster made with the
white of eggs will not blister the
tenderest skin.
The fragile white skin that lines
the shell of an egg is fine applica-
ton for a boil.
The white of an egg beaten with
loaf sugar and lemon juice relieves a
cough and hoarseness. A tablespoon
full every hour is the dose.
If fish bone lodges in the throat
beyond the reach of the fingers, raw
egg swallowed without being beaten)
will in most instances carry the bone
along
A good remedy for stomach and
bowel trouble is raw egg taken ev-
cry six hours. The eggs should be
partly beaten, though not to froth.
little white of an egg, spread
over a scald or burn will prevent the
air from getting to it and hastens
the healing.
For preserving jelly in glasses, pa
per should be cut to fit at the top
and smeared with the raw white of
eggs, the egg side down.
A little white of egg curdled with
bit of powdered alum will stop a
sty, if used as soon as the sty appears.

it stings and is npleasant-Journal
