If he had rendered a similar service
for my mail order house he would
have been handed pocketful of ad-

Price of Democracy,

The price that Harold pays for de-
mocracy is in slovenliness of speech
which | find offensive and Emmeline
finds utterly distracting. 1t seems a
pity to have his school drill in pho
netics and the memorizing of good lit
erature vitiated by the slurred and
clipped syllables of the street. Har-
old says, 1T is me-" and frequently he
says, 1T is nuttin'." The final of the
participle has virtually disappeared
from his vocabulary. He sometimes
says, Il amt got nuttin'." While EN-
incline is distracted ! am merely Of
Tended, because | recall that there is
great body of linguistic authority
growing up in favor of Harolds demo
cratic practices in phonetics and gram
mar. When Harold says, 1T is me"
Professor Lunsbury should worry BY
the time Harold grows up it will prob
ably be good grammar to say, Il ain
got nothing" BY the time Harold
grows up, the Decalogue, in its latest
recension, will read, Thou shalt not
have none other gods before l." and,
Thou shalt not bear no false witness
against none of thy neighbors. -
Simeon Strunsky, in Atlantic.

.BROODINESS OF HEN
CAN BE BROKEN UP
Sitting Fever Grows in Intensity
Each Day After 1t Has Be-
gun-Separate Fowls.

The quickest way to break up
broodness is to remove the hen from
her nest the very first evening she de-
serts her roost. The sitting fever
grows in intensity each day after it
has fairly begun. Obstinate cases will
require a week or more to cure, but
when taken in time a few days will
suffice.
Broody hens should be penned in a
pen that is light and the front Of
which has wire netting, so that plenty
of air can be admitted. Feed them
regularly and have fresh water con
stantly before them BE sure that no
nests are in the building.

Marie Proves Herself.

Marie i.indsay's mother was a foolish
and ambitious woman From the moment
Marie was born she had been looked upon
as an asset-as something that could be
turned into money. The Lindsays were
poor. ANA Mrs. Lindsay craved money
She made up her mind that her dau lighter
snoItd marry wealth And as wealth
seemed TO be embodied in the person of
Young Sam Fravers she decided that he
SH"uid b. the husband of Marie.
Marie was trained carefully to this end
As tiny girl She had worn the hand
soonest white dresses and pink hair rib
oons To lie seen in Westmore. As a
matter of fact the dresses and ribbons
were not always paid for. But debt was
no buSbear to the Lindsays They thrived
under its shadow. Never would they in
convenience themselves in order to pay
a bill. Marie enjoyed her frocks and
ribbons Just as much as if they were
honestly accounted for. ..
When she Was twelve Years old her
mother gave her d birthday party and
invited the children oil all the best fam
lilies IN town. Thus was Maric's social
status established She danced with Sam
ray erS- But il was not until long after
ware that her mother delicately but
HFiil!S conveyed to her the IDEA that she
was To capture him for a husband.
Mari" Lindsay was not more than ten
when all Westmore knew that she was
not going to be handsome. She was
small and dark. and all the white en-
hroidcred dresses and pink ribbons i'll the
world could not make beauty of her.
But her mother still hoped. Hope was
Mrs. Lindsays strong point.
Some six years later Marie began TO
suspect what WeStmore knew-that Alice
Bryan looked better in plain ginsham
than Marie could ever look in silk. She
felt almost as If her mother had de-
ceivcd her. Surely the mirror would not
lie. Was ii possible that her mother did?
Mrs. Lindsay managed SO cleverly that
Sam Travers really began to pay Marie
some attention. For even if she was
not pretty she had her attractions, and
her mothers training had taught her to
make the most of them. She had dis
carded pink and white and taken to soft
reds that We're kinder to her dull skin
and dark eyes. Her vivacity made UP
for the lack of other things. She was
always fresh and full of vim. Her per-
feet health was the most genuine thing
about her.
The crisis came when she was twenty.
