MRS. RYE FINDS 1T
HARD TO QUIT HOME.
lRr Kate parkhill.l

Paris, Tenn, Nov. Sat the hour
of the evening meal Wednesday
dropped into the Rye home-this a
way the people of Paris have of doing,
as the latchstring hangs on the out
side at the Ryes'.
Mrs. Rye was gowned in gray
skirt and a simple waist, and had a
checked Bingham apron tucked under
her arm. She explained the presence
of the bit bingham by saying that
she is the head cook" in the Rye
establishment, and found such an ar
ticle of wearing apparel splendid
adjunct when manipulating the grid
die and the other accoutrements Of
the cook room.
Mrs. Rye looked little tired, and
confessed to being so, stating that in
the absence of cook or housemald,
the extra effort of answering the door
bell, the telephone and the numerous
other household duties had increased
her labors on this day, when the
town, county, state, and surprisingly
large part of the nation were taking
upon themselves the pleasant task OF
congratulating the man of the house
and his lady fair, now the first lady
and gentleman of the state, upon his
election as Tennessee's chief execu-
tive.
Mrs. Rye was asked if she had made
any preparations or arrangements for
moving to Nashville, which will occur
not later than early in January. She
replied, after moments pause:
mo, | have made no preparations
at all. l have been in serious doubts
as to whether Tom would be elected,
as the Republicans seemed to have
such strong hold on the state. Fact
of the matter is, l didn't want Tom
to make the race, and only consented
when it seemed that his friends and
much of the public believed him the
strongest man to carry the standard
of democracy.
while / shall enjoy the distinction
of the position made possible by his
election, l will frankly state that I
am very happy in my present coy
home, and although it does not in
any manner compare in splendor or
surroundings with the governors
mansion, / do not believe it possible
for me to be any more happy in the
new place created for me by the
friends of Tom"
Mrs. Rye" | asked what will you
do with your home now?"
well, l hardly know" she replied,
reflectively. II suppose we will rent
or lease it to some one, If suitable
person comes along. Under no cir
cumstances would l consent to selling
it, and when Tom shall have laid
down the duties of state and retired
to private life, expect to come back
to my little Paris home and again be
happy in surroundings which l have
already found to be almost ideal.
Don't think for one minute that |
am not pleased over my husbands
election, for l ana. believe he will
prove to his friends all they expect
him to be as a governor. know
that it shall be hard work for Tom,
and | am afraid the constant labors
and worries of the office will be a
severe tax upon him. 1t is my inter-
est in him which made me hesitate.
Somehow, l am so constituted that
l like the quietude of such home life
as this, in contradistinction to the life
of the wife of public official, but
no doubt that when shall have made
the change ] shall be well pleased"

Have thimble which easily fits
your fore finger. Show the thimble
on the fore finger of your right hand
and lay the finger with thimble on
the palm of your left hand, which
you then close. Now withdraw the
finger minus the thimble. The COM
pany will naturally imagine that it
is in the left hand, but on opening it
they are astonished to see it empty.
The secret is that you do not place
the thimble in the left hand at all, but
in the act of laying the fore finger
CT the right hand on the left quickly
Lend the finger and leave the thimble
secreted between the ball of your
thumb and the root of the fore finger
only placing the bare finger in the
left. This you instantly close and
then withdraw the fore fingel. You
can eventually produce the thimble
from your pocket or show i! again On
the tip of the fore finger by reverse
movement.-NewY York Herald.

The invention here illustrated shows
an improved apparatus for altering SUI

The apparatus consists Of a filter box
which delivers the juice to a set Of
open filter frames. By lnterposing
the evaporation the necessity of skim

WHEAT VERSUS CORN
FOR HORSES AND HOGS
(By C. A. Wilson, Tennessee Expert
ment Station.)

(By C. A. Wilson, Tennessee Expert
ment Station.)
i Wheat has a very similar compost.
ton to that of corn, as the following
table will show:
100 pounds corn-Protein, 10: Carlo
hydrates, 66.7; fat, 4.3.
100 pounds wheat-Proteln, 11.2;
Carbohydrates. 81; fat, 2.
When wheat is worth rs cents per
bushel, one can obtain pound of the
nutrients in wheat at cost of 1.6
cents per pound When corn is worth
80 cents per bushel, pound of these
nutrients costs 90 cents per pound.
One can readily see, then, that the
digestible nutrients in wheat at pres.
emit market prices cost much less than
they do In corn.
Practical feeding trials show that
for hogs wheat is a little more valu
able than corn; that when combined
with corn the combination is much
more efficient than when fed alone.
Corn, when fed alone, requires sc
pounds to make one pound of pork.
Wheat when fed alone, requires As
pounds to make one pound OF pork.
When the two are mixed In equal pro
portions only 81 pounds are required
to make pound Of pork. These two
grains when combined make quite an
ideal. feed for hogs Should it be the
intention to feed wheat and no corn,
we woald advise that one make up a
ration for hogs of five parts wheat
and one part cottonseed meal. To neu
tFalize the detrimental results that are
sometimes caused by the feeding OF
cottonseed meal to hogs, we would
also advise that one make up solu
ten OF copperas in the proportion OF
two pounds OF copperas to fifty pounds
OF water, then feed two quarts Of the
solution for every pound Of cotton
seed meal fed. These two feeds are
the cheapest that are obtainable for
hogs at the present time, emitting
from consideration, of course, the use
OF succulent forage crops.
Wheat may also be substituted for
corn in the horses ration. However,
care must be taken in its use, for new
wheat is apt to produce collie. We
would advise that the ration be cheap
ened through the use of wheat with
corn and cottonseed meal. A very ex.
cellent ration for horses and mules
would be equal parts of corn and
wheat, and then mix with them one
part cottonseed meal for every six
parts of the mixture Of equal parts Of
corn and wheat.
For feeding purposes wheat should
not be ground too fine. as 1t may then
produce too pasty and sticky mass
in the animals stomach.
With the low prices for wheat that
are likely to prevail this fall, this feed
may be probably used tor hogs. cattle
and horses. ..-...--.-----4s

A little thought will show you how
vastly your own happiness depends on
the way other people bear themselves
toward you. The looks and tones at
your breakfast table, the conduct Of
your fellow-workers or employers, the
faithful or unreliable men you deal
with, what people say to you on the
street, the way your cook and house.
maid do their work, the letters you
get, the friends or foes you meet
these things make up very much Of
the pleasure or misery of your day.
Turn the idea around, and remember
that just 80 much are you adding to
to the pleasure or the misery Of other
peoples days. And this is the half of
the matter which you can control.
Whether any particular day shall
bring to you more Of happiness or Of
suffering is largely beyond your power
to determine, Whether each ray OF
your life shall give happiness or SUI.

from its anchorage and toppled down
upon the buildings. Three men were
In them at the time. Two were never

There is one chance in a Dozen"
said the mine doctor, after examining
him. He must be kept absolutely
quiet, and his father had better be no
haed to start for Mexico at once"
They telegraphed to Dicks father,
but to keep him quiet was not so
easy. All day and night in his de-
lirium he called for Dolores. To pac-
ify him, they sent for her. Under the
doctors supervision she glided in and
out, her presence only bringing mo-
mentary rest to the sick mans tor

Pedro was not 50 glad then. He

DICK AND DOLORES
By J. 3. GRANT.


Dolores Garcia sat on the step Of
her adobe hut and looked out across
ne hills. Her slim. brown hands
we're clasped tightly in those of Dick
Chaplin, the manager of the Oswego
mine. Dick was only tw~enty.four, but
his father had the controlling interest
h the property. Dick had been sent

Bcrapes as that into which he was
running.

married next week" Dick was saying,
1And ! will take you back to New
York with me. The old man? Well,
he will kick, of course, but he'll soon
Quiet down. Nobody could see you
without falling in love with you"
Dolores was seventeen, which is a
manageable age for a Mexican girl
with Indian blood in her veins. At
least Pedro, the foreman, thought 30.
He had handled his knife for several
days past whenever he saw Dick
riding past. Pedro and Dolores had
been sweethearts once; but Pedro's
lOVe-makng was not like Dicks.
will you marry me?" Dick asked
for the twentieth time. And for the
nrst time Dolores answered yes"
She turned and kissed him on the
lips and fed into her hut, while Dick
rode home in the moonlight, smiling
fOolishly and dreaming, as youth will.
He did not see the gun that Pedro
leveled at him as he rode past the
fOreman's house. Pedro's finger trem-
bled on the trigger. But while he hes
stated Dick rode out OF gunshot

Dolores nodded. She was wiser
than Dick, though her years we're
fewer. He will take me to New
York" she said. His father is rich.
He has a castle there"
Listen to me, child" exclaimed
the older woman, beating her breast
passionately. Before thy father
courted me l had a Gringo lover. Thou
hadnst not known that? Would l had
not, too, for the first love is the
strongest, and even now, wrinkled as
