~Cift Day, Brinas Business.

One storekeeper has adopted a plan
which is said to draw trade from re-
mote parts of his town as well as slim
ulate interest among his regular Gus
toners. Once a week he distributes
%handbills which are numbered consec-
utively. On Saturdays he numbers
various articles shown on his shelves,
and these are given TO the people pre-
senting handbills showing the CORE
spending numbers. Although the plan
is somewhat expensive, the dealer says
that few people are willing to accept
a present and leave the store without
making at least N purchase and that
the publicity gained by the gift days
more than offsets the cost of the free
goods.

"HE Y son." said the old civil wal
veteran, II do not wish you
to follow in my footsteps in
the matter of war. War

But, father, think of the glory"
'The glory often falls where 1t does
not belong and is usually overrated. l
will tell you a story to illustrate my
point. Two young men went from u
town to the civil war. They were
friends and had been schoolmates. We
will call them Tom Ford and Billy
C~hamberlin.
Tom Ford was a tall, handsome fell
low in his uniform. and n of the
girls suddenly discovered that she
loved him. And she did.
"Well, Tom and Billy marched away.
They did nothing but march and lie
in camp for awhile and began to wish
they could get into a fight. When
they did get into a fight 1t had hardly
begun before they wished it were over.
After a charge by the enemy Billy was
trying to find the remains of the regi-
men that had gone in under a perfect
alignment with flags flying. but all he
could find were dead and wounded.

him groan and. picking him up. was
about to carry him away when a vol

didn't write Billy's name at all, for
Billy gave him another one, and this
is how that happened:
after getting the officer to cover the
poor fellows groans were heartrend-
ing and his cries for water worse than
his groans. To get the horrible sound
out of his ears Billy said he'd 90 and
find some water. He crossed the field
where his regiment had been cut up

straight up at the peaceful heavens.

Along q Different Line.

Another letter advises a different line of work altogether:
 If I had to earn my own living with a small stock of money and experience I would at once go in for raising spring chickens and squabs. It is the best sort of work for a woman to undertake. You will need an incubator to start with Of course. but chicken houses are easily built and when once you have your poul- try they do a good deal of the care of themselves. Don't go ie for a large va riety at first, but get good line of Rhode Island Reds or Plymouth Rocks or Wyan- dottes and stick to them. There are loads of good poultry magazines published and been studied out and brought to a science. In little while you will have more eggs and chickens than you need for your family and can sell them at good prizes. Begin small and let your work grow as it will. Of course the care of the chickens will take your time and attention. for the chickens must be kept clean, well fed, and watched against diseases of differ ent kinds, but I don't suppose you are looking for work which is sitting on cushion with your hands folded. If had time I could tell you long stories of men and women who have made a good living out of chickens, and even better when once they undertook to raise squabs.
