The Zeppe1ins
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF AT Good Old siWaHh.'

~ VAR is a terrible thing and we
w should be glad that the Yep
pelins are not aiding greatly
to its horrors.
For several years the world has shud-
dered when fl thought Of these giant
war craft rolling silently through the
heavens and dropping bundles OF dyna-
mite as big as haystacks upon their
enemies. It was felt on all sides that
when a Zeppelin got peevish at q nation
and began blowing large, three-cornered
holes in IA. that nation would have 70
surrender before the overture was com
pleted It was believed that one Yep
pelin with a few stern officers aboard
could reduce a fleet TO unidentified re-
mains. blow the dome off OF St Paufs,
and make a noise Ike the Nihilist con-
ventiAns in the vicinity OF the cars
palace.
Happily these fears seem to have
been greatly exaggerated The Zeppe-
lin has been maligned- It may be large
and stern looking. but II is not canni-
balistic. Next to soaring aloft with
full charge OF gas and Pilsener, the
Zeppelin seems TO like best to come
down to earth with hollow thump
and remain there permanently.
The Zeppelin Is as long as a steam
ship. but when II IS shot in the thoraN
Il has no more vitality than duck
Europe seems to be full OF marksmen
who can take a small but vehement
cannon and get enough Zeppelins for
mess with a few well directed shots
The horror OF the dirigible seems TO
be visited strictly upon the heroes who
have 10 20 pokfng around the zenith IN
them without q parachute

Tessie Tabby Runs Away
d FLORENCE .. YnDER.


"ESSIE TABBY was not usually
bad little kitty girl but some
times she had spells Of being
Aaughty. Then it really seemed impos-
sible for her TO do anything right
One morning by 10 o'clock she had
been spanked twice and scolded any
number OF times. So she went and sat
on the steps that led upstairs, to think.
Mother don't care for me at all"
she mumbled to herself. That is the
real trouble She likes the other kitties
better than she does me. am going
70 run away from home Then she VIII
be sorry that she mistreated me"
So in the dark Of the stairway Tessie
grumbled. She did not seem TO think
mat the trouble was with her at all
and blamed everything on her mother
She tiptoed to the hat rack and got
not her hat but TOttie's, for she liked
II better; ran upstairs and got small
basket and then crept down the stairs
again. No one was about so she
packed a little food in the bottom OF
the basket, placed her dolly on top and
started off She did not know where
she was going, but she was going as
far away from home as she could get
that was certain
At first she hurried. but after she
was out Of sight OF all OF the familiar
places in Tabbyland she began to lOlter
on the way It was not very long be-
70
on the roadside with her back TO a tree
and ate her small lunch. Some OF it
she gave to her dolly, who was small
and stupid, and who did not seem to
care much for food.
By this time IL was noon, Eut the sky
did not seem very bright
Big. black clouds hid the face Of the
sun now and then, and scarry, timid
little breeze sprang up and famed her
hot face. She trudged steadily on. but
her mind was very busy. The farther
she got away from home, the more shs
began 10 see how naughty she had been
and how gentle Mrs. Tabby had really
been with her.
1t must have been 2 o'clock when she
looked up and saw with a little thrill
Of fear how dark It had become. The
little breeze had turned into strong
wind which whipped her skirts about
her and twisted her hat almost off OF
her head.
Her mouth began to tremble and she
began to look about for house, for It
certainly did look like rain Her feet
seemed to get in her way at every step,
and when a big raindrOp hit her in the
face she almost cried with fright HOr-
rible lightning and thunder followed
and in a moment the sky was dark and
the storm had broken in earnest She
turned about and started back. but the
wind pushed and buffeted her, the rain
blinded her, and she wished that she
had never left her warm home. How

others interested in the latest inven-
tons in the mechanical world will have
more to attract them than ever. Easier
ways of doing things are often learned
by an examination Of the newest con-
trivances, and manufacturers find it 70
their interest to display goods at the

JERSEY FARMERS Give
LIVE STOCK ATTENTION
Achieving Better Results In Pro-
duction Through Greater Care.
To Exhibit at Trenton Fair.

Farmers throughout the east and
those of New Jersey in particular are
paying more attention to live stock
production than formerly and are
achieving better results. In recogni-
ton of the advancement that is being
made additional classes have been ar
ranged at Trenton Interstate Fair, and
prizes have been offered for the stock.
This department at the Fair which is
to be held from Sept % to Oct. 2, is
in charge of Professor F. c. Minkler
of the New Jersey agricultural expert
ment station.
AT the earnest solicitation of the
Shorthorn Breeders association" Pro
fessor Minkler said, "a class has been
added for this breed. further divi-
sion Of the under two-year- groups
has been made, designated as senior
and Junior classes in order that ami
mails in competition might be more un-
form as to size and age.
with the recognition of the four
leading dairy breeds that prevail in
this state, as well as the addition of
that competition in the dairy classes
will be very keen and that large per-
centage of exhibitors will come from
within the state. 1t is reasonable to
believe that the New Jersey breeder
will soon attain the recognition that
he Is justly entitled to, that will stand
him in the front rank among breed
organizations.
'The use of hog cholera serum has
revolutionized the swine industry, and
1t is now known that by the use of
immuniZing serum animals can be safe
ly exhibited at the various shows
without danger from loss or infection.
1T is interesting to note that New
Jersey is holding it's own in its horse
breeding work. With twelve stations
in service owned by the state and of
fered through the live stock commits
sion to the mare owners in various
parts of the state, it is gratifying to
note that mare owners are taking ad-
vantage of this Offering and are add
ing materially to the number of draft
horses that are being produced in the
state. New Jersey is one of the few
states that are maintaining their pro-
duction of work horses. A number of
foals from such mating will be on ex-
hibition at the Fair this year and will
be well worth seeing"
