Master Sparrow's Breakfast

How warm they'll be- said Dor othy to herself. with their eiderdown covers.
 Just then a. little sparrow flew down on the walk and looked up at the vvindo ow .sHelloiss said Dorothy, eswllat do you want?,' The little bird turned his head first to one side and then the other. as if he didn't quite hear what Dorothy was saying behind the pane of glass Don't you hear me 2's she called ont, bat he turned his head, as if to say .Nots' Dor othy pushed up the window and call ed out, What do you want, birdie r but he flew away just across the. walk to the maple trees whefe he sat look ing at her with his queer little eyes. Every now and then he would turn his head this way and that way. as if so Dorothy thought, trying to hear what she was saying But Dorothy wasn't saying anything now She was so disappointed that her little friend had flown. off and that he should be afraid of her, just because she had opened the window, that she turned to Mother who came into the room at that moment and said; Mother just look at that. cute little bird; only just minute ago he was hopping on

TO-DAY'S POEM
DIsILLUsIoN.

E It was love that made him do it,
 Well, at least he thought it was: Though to-day if you should ask him, He'd deny he knew the cause. He was young and she was pretty.
 An! when youth and beauty meet, Youth its all at once surrender
 Places it at beauty's feet. Soon his fancy painted pictures
 Pictures that were all the same, Of a wife and home and children.
 So husband he became. He had pictured him at evening.
 Tired with his day Of toll: Coming home where wife sat waiting, With. the kettle all aboil. He had thought of nifty suppers.
 Served by wife so prin and neat, And of evenings spent together.
 No more roaming on the street. oh the visions that his fancy,
 Ever brought before his mind; He was sure that sa.tisfaction,
 In nought else could be e'er found. Now he's married, like a mirage,
 Have those visions faded now; Wife though looking quite as pretty, Doesn't seem the same somehow. Maybe it's because of knowledge.
 He has famed of recent dates, That you can't judge any person
 By what their appearance states. Maybe since he's learnt peroxide
 Helps to make the pretty blonde, And that rats and pads and switches. Make the beauty when they're don
 ned.
 Maybe since he's learnt that powder
 Helps to tighten up the cheek, And that when it comes to houseworlk Wifey finds she is tpo weak Maybe it's because since marriage,
 Wife has joined the suffragettes, Or because for pocket money,
 Fifty cents week he gets. Maybe he finds too much worry
 In the care of children four Or perhaps the cost of living. Knocks too loudly at his door. Maybe it's because his wife does
 Know far more about slit skirgs Than she does about the kitchen
 Darning socks or rnending shirts. Maybe it's because he's tired,
 Of the same old hash or stew; Or because there's no more kisses
 And each week a quarrel or two Maybe this all helped to teach him, Beauty 1snft every thing Anyway he tells me sadly,
 Home sweet home is no real thing. W. B. D.-Nfagara Falls Gazette. | E

MILK BOTTLES LOST,
 SPRAYED OR STOLEN
Estinnated to Cost Dealer Over
 S5, 900 Year.

A
 washington, Aug. 25.-According to figures furnished by forty dealers to the U & Department of Agricultures a. milk bottle will last for from 6 to. 50 trips the average being 22 1-z trips. If these estimates represent average conditions, the average dea1- CT would have to obtain a new sup ply of bottles every 22 1-2 days. II he delivers 10, ,OoO bottles a day and they cost him 1-2 cents each, his daily expense for bottles would be S1555 or $g,575. 5 a year
 These bottles are not all lost or bro- ken: many of them are merely stray ed. Some of the bottles get into the hands of other dealers and some are dumped into the ash barrel by per sons ignorant of their value.
 One million. five hundred thousand bottles were rescued from the city dumps during three years by a milk bottle clearing house in one city.
 Mflk-bottIe clearing houses,s estab- lished in many cities. have done afgood deal to reduce the losses in bottles. The clearing house helps the dealer to recover his own bottles. Ashnen and others are paid from 1-4 to 1-2 cent for each bottle returned The usual charge for bottles returned to the owner is from to 1-2 cents each. Employees of the exchanges visit the establishments of different dealers regularly and return bottles not be- longing to the dealers to the exchange headquarters, where they were wash ed sterilized and sorted.

4 CORNER FOR COOKS
Potato Fingers.


 These are to serve with chope Take freshly mashed potato. add cup Of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, one small grated onion. a lump of butter and enough milk to soften, and one egg to bind the mixture which is then formed into fingers three inches long and an inch through.

Mash at once, either through the potato ricer or with a. masher If the Inasher is used stir the potato from the edge of the dish and continue nnashfng until there are no small humps. Have at hand hot milk and melted butter. For 9 quart of potatoes when mashed aI- low about a half cup of milk and four level tablespoons of butter Add this to the mashed potatoes and beat with a spoon until light and creamy More or less milk may be added to suit the taste and less butter when it is high in price Mashed potatoes may be beaten with a wire whisk egg beater, place them lightly in q serving dish be salted sparingly
 Mashed potatoes keep better than boiled or baked potatoes, and for that reason are desirable to serve when the dinner hour is indefinite. Put them in a double boiler and cover I1r til needed. Beat them just before serving.

Dear Mass Liba7ey:
 am a young girl nearly sixteen years of age. I met a young man at a friends house who is educated and comes from a good family. Wouldn't 1t be araiss to go to places of amuse- ment with him would like him to show me a brothers love and kind ness. My home life is unusually deg olate, and am very unhappy.
 ANNA M. rents, see. no reason why you should not accept the young mans attenuons. DO not leave home in anger. There will come a, change. You will not have your mother always.

NO CRIBS FOR CORN CROP.
oklahoma Worries Over Care of uu-
 usually Heavy Harvest.

Tulsa, Okla. Aug. 25.-where to put the bumper corn crop is worry ing grain dealers and buyers. Many farms are not equipped with sufficient cribs, and the elevators will be unable to store but a part of the enormous crop.
 Years ago when Oklahoma made big corn crops year after year, it was no uncommon sight to see great piles of corn in fields and beside rail- road tracks waiting transportation, and very likely this scene will be re- enacted this year.
 The advocates of better farming are urging farmers to hold as much of their corn as possible, and if not al- ready at it, to make start at live stock raising.

YoBR DAYTIME GARMENTS SHOULD BE WE'LL AIRED
 DURING THE NIGHT

It is as important to wear well aired under garments and frocks as it is to keep the body clean Do you not think 90 For this reason I deprecate the practice Iof hanging one's frock and underwear in a closet as soon as they are discarded, as this means that while they will harbor no ugly creases they will not get the benefit of a Hesh current of air.
 Many women think that they have done all that could possibly be expect ed when they hang their daytime clothes neatly on hangers in their closets and hie them off to bed. They evidently do not stop to think fhat this is a most unhyEiendc proceeding, as the avera ge closet has no windows aDd ventilation is consequently nile

 And his voice rang free and glad, fsAn idle man has so much to do
 That he never has time to be sad
 Youthful maidens who look out upon the world through young eyes take no heed of the responsibility of life, nor should they It is apt to be the same with their choice of friends. especially young men. Girls are looking eagerly about to see what joy and udrth they can ind. Life would be nothing to them without 1t.
 5 The young man who Is in excellent company knows how to get up the laughs and to turn even the most commonplace conversations into mer- ry q1dps; to carry feminine hearts by storm C6 course, he must be good looking, and dress nattily. Girls do not look below the surface. If he's jolly good company. al hail fellow well met, they are not only satisfied, but well pleased with him. He can have his pick from any number of girls who have turned down beaux for more worth from every standpoint than he.
 It's great asset for a poor, but ann- bilious, young man to have a glib tongue and be- proficient in the use of dt. He's invited here and there; brought in contact with people he would never meet but for his delight ful personality It attracts people to him where money would not

 much unless backed by many other good qualities.
 = He who boasts to a girl Of what d brilliant record he intends for him self in the future is usually making these remarks to fill in time and hear himself salk. If girls are foolish enough to place eredenee in these bril- liant bubbles they have only them selves to blame. It must not be con sidered that all brilliant young men are hippant. for this Is not a fact. There's always one woman who con siders every man the best Of com pany, whether he talks or not; which proves he does not need to take wit and hurnor and a ready tongue to woo and win Being affa.b1e and the life of the company do not prove that one young man is superior to his compan- ions Girls should give the bashful young man. the poor taIker an equal chance in enjoying their society.
