HOW TO TELL FORTUNES
One Formula Can Be Made to Fit Almost
Everybody.

The way to tell peoples fortunes is to have
one list of characteristics and to use it for every
one without the slightest variation. It is bound
to succeed. For instance, surprising Falstaff and
Hamlet had their fortunes told by the same
soothsayer. l imagine he would have told Ham
let's character as follows, Maurice Barring writes
in the Metropolitan:
you are not SO fortunate as you seem. You
have a great deal of sense, but more sense than
knowledge. You can give admirable advice to
other people. Your judgment is excellent as re-
CARDS others, but bad as regards yourself. You
never value your own good advice. You are
fond of your friends. You prefer talk to action.
You suffer from indecision. You are fond of the
stage. You are susceptible to female beauty.
You are witty, amiable and well educated, but
you like coarse jokes. You are superstitious and
believe in ghosts. You can make people laugh.
You often pretend to be more foolish than you
are. At other times you will surprise people by
your power of apt repartee. Your bane will be
your inclination to fat, which will hamper you in
fighting. You are unsuccessful as a soldier, but
unrivaled as a companion and philosopher. You
will mix in high society, have friends at court.
You will come off badly in personal encounter,
and your final enemy will be a king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the same
thing to Falstaf. Doesn't it fit him just as we'll?
Can't you imagine Falstaff saying: He has hit
me off to a T." and Hamlet murmuring, MY
prophetic SOUL" In fact, l believe fortune tell
ing. after that of medicine, to be the finest pro-
fession in the world and the easiest.

Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1879, has been used to sentence the
owner of a vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers, France, to a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in the vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her hat she was committing an
offense against the law. as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property Of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion. and the woman was
convicted.

original inadequate foundation. To what an ex-
tent the resting place of the shaft was expanded
may be surmised from the fact that the original
foundation had an area Of only 6,40O square feet.
whereas the enlarged foundation covered 10000
square feet, in addition to being of better mate

crete is in effect a single block Of solid stone.
With the new foundation in place the erection
of the shaft went on apace and the task was

Idaho alfalfa hay worth $500 per
ton on the farm is worth $14.00 per
ton when fed to Idaho lambs and thus
sold.
At the western stock show at Dem
yer, Idaho grown lambs have won
the champion for carload prize four
times in succession over lambs from
many other state. At the three last
international live stock shows at Chi
cago, Idaho lambs, taken to the corn
belt for finishing" have won the
championship for fat carloads.
Although alfalfa hay in southern
Idaho is produced in great quantities
and in some districts is hard to mar
ket at any price and, when sold,
brings $3.50 to 81 per ton, Idaho
feeder lambs are shipped to Colo
RADIO, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa and
as far east as Michigan and Ohio, to
be finished, in most cases on much
higher-priced hays.
What is the answer?
That the Idaho farmers are losing
a big opportunity and the University

a feeding experiment which has just
been completed by the university at
the Caldwell experiment station. Pro-
