chagrined young men on an Eighth
avenue car Wednesday evening, says
the New York Times. They rode UP

an. The woman was old-fashioned
enough to wear dress with a pocket
in it. Some time during the trip from
Thirty-fourth street to F'ifty-ninth one
of the men found the pocket and ex,
tracted its contents.
AT the Circle the woman, unaware
of her loss, pushed into the car and
found seat. Presently the solemnity
of the tired crowd was disturbed by
burst of hilarity ON the platform
The two young fellows were chatting
each other in boisterous tones.
You're a jay, you are," said one,
"Anybody'd think you had spent all
your life rolling over plowed ground.
What you going to do with It? Keep
it?"
NO." was the reply. What's the
use? 1t amt no good"
The woman listened inattentively to
the loud remarks and wondered, in a
listless way, what they had reference
to. She nearly collapsed when she
found out. At Eighty-sixth street the
conductor came through the car hold
ing out small leather-bound prayer
book, which, when folded, might have
been easily mistaken for a pocket
book.

Words were not required to tell
what 1t was she wanted to see. The
pause was filled up eloquently by her
actions. Rapidly she turned the
leaves till she came to a kind OF
pocket fastened between the pages
at the back. From this she drew two
$40 bills.

The two hoodlums on the platform

GOOD DEACON A POOR GUIDE
Let Alone Directing Small Boys
on Their Way to Heaven.

They were speaking Of the import
ance of always being well qualified foR
the work in hand, recently, when
George Fred Williams of Boston, the
new minister to Greece, recalled the
experience of a certain good deacon.
One afternoon the deacon happened
In town with which he wasn't IA
miliar, and wishing to go to the post
office he approached a crowd Of small
boys for information.
Boys" said he, in a kind and gem
tie voice, can you tell me where the
postoffice is?'
Yes, sir" answered one of the boys.
Turn to the left two squares down.
It's in the middle of the block on the
right-hand side"
The deacon was about to rambleon,
when he suddenly noticed that the
boys were pitching pennies. Natural
ly the good man was shocked like
stepping on live wire.
Boys" severely cried the deacon,
Il am surprised and hurt to see that
you are pitching pennies. 1t is a wick
ed form of gambling. Come here
while l speak to you, and l will show
you the way to heaven"
Forget it," was the prompt re-
jointer of the boy who had first spo
ken. you don't even know the way
to the postofice!" -Philadelp Tele-

GOOD HOMEMADE IMPLEMENT

the best implement that | ever saw.

first place. IL has been some twelve

roller attachment. The roller was

conclusion that the drag, when proper

Gave Himself Away.

The old man who acts as postmas-
ter in small village likewise keeps
a general merchants shop. He is
often accused of reading the postcards
that pass through his hands, but this
he strongly denies. A lady called at
the shop and ordered. among other
goods, ham and cheese. Two days
later the lady called again and asked
why these two articles had not been
sent with the other goods.
"Oh." replied the merchant, calmly.

SO nachelly thought yo' wouldn't

Burglars Use Microphone.

The microphone is now used by
burglars for picking combination
locks On turning the lock a slight
sound is made when the proper num-
Der comes opposite the working point.
and this can even be heard by sem
sitfve ear. However, it Is impercept-
ible to most persons. but by using a
microphone 1t is an easy matter to
hear the sounds. A suitable form of
fiat telephone receiver is employed.
and it is applied against the safe next
the lock. A pair of rubber ear tubes
are used with the telephone. In this
way the sounds are heard which allow
of opening the lock.

WATER FOR THE DAIRY cow

1t Is very important that the water

more gallons of milk daily be warn Z.

wise the COWS will not drink as much
as they need to keep up a good milk
flow. 1t does not take much ice water
to chill thin-feshed dairy COW
through and through on a cold winter
day, especially when she is compelled
to walk some distance through the
snow or cutting wind to get to the
tank or pond.
Experiments made at the Missouri
station show that drinking water is
needed In proportion to the milk yield.
That Is, cow giving six gallons OF
milk a day needs about twice as much
water as COW giving three gallons a
day. If the water is too cold to be
comfortable ii drunk in large quaint.
ties, the COW will not drink enough,
and as result will drop considerably
in her milk yield.

day last winter she drunk daily about
81 gallons of water. Imagine how she

Then the sharp teeth of the harrow
left the soil in the finest condition
possible.
With the accompanying pen draw
ing, 1t will hardly be necessary to go
into details in regard to making one
of these. Although I will give the di-
mansions of the timbers. For ordi.
nary use, a width of six feet is suffi-
cient. But, on perfectly level, or land
that is practically free of trash and
stumps or stones, one as long as eight
feet can be used to an advantage.
Material required:
Six pieces 1x10-inch plank, 6 feet
long, planker.
Two pieces 3x3-inch hard wood,
feet long, beams for harrow.
Two pieces 2x6-inch cross beam for
harrow, to planker.
Two pieces 2x6-inch cleats to which
planker is made.
Twenty-three pieces flve-eighths-
inch square harrow teeth, IL inches
long.
Eight one-half-inch bolts, 10 inches
long,
Two one-half-inch bolts inches
long.
Two one-half-inch bolts Z inches long,
Two 4-inch clevices.
Two pounds 10 penny nails.
The beams that connect the harrow
with the planker is worked on bolt
at (x. x.) which permits the harrow
being raised to remove trash.
