Poor Mrs. Smith,

A minister was recounting some Of
his amusing experiences in marrying
people. There's an old CUSTOM"
said he, that the bridegroom shall
kiss the bride Immediately after the
marriage ceremony is over. It's a
good, practical custom, for it serves
more handily than anything else that
l know of to dissipate the awkward
pause that almost always follows a
simple, informal ceremony. For this
reason I keep the custom alive.
"One day a man whom l shall call
Smith came to the parsonage to be
married. Mr.. Smith was pompous,
consequential little man. The pros
pective Mrs. Smith was a fine, win
some girl. After the ceremony, Mr..
Smith. in spite of his pomposity, did
not seem to know just what was the
next thing to do, SO, as is my prac-
tice in such emergencies, said: My
dear sir, it is your privilege to salute
the BRIDE He turned around and ex-
tending his hand formally, said: Mrs.
Smith, congratulate you

Stransky was thinking that they
had to do more than hold the Graye.
Before he should see his girl they had
to take back the lost territory. He
carried two pictures Of Minna in his
mind: one when she had struck him

encouragement in either.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Ram,

The Ram.
In the closet off the Galland library,
where the Iong-distance telephone was
installed, WesterIing was talking
with the premier in the Gray capital.
Your total casualties are eight hun
dred thousand. That is terrific, Wes-
terling!" the premier was saying.
only two hundred thousand of
those are dead" replied Westerlfng
Many with only slight wounds are
already returning to the front. Ter
rife, do you say? Two hundred thou
sand in i've millions is one man out
Of twenty-five. That wouldn't have
worried Frederick the Great or Napo-
leon much. Eight hundred thousand is
one out of six. The trouble is that
such vast armies have never been en-
gagged before. You must consider the
percentages, not the totals"
yet, eight hundred thousand! II
the public knew!" exclaimed the pre-
mier.
THE public does not know!" said
Westerling.
They guess. They realize that we
stopped the soldiers letters because
they told bad news. The situation is
serious.
Why not give the public something
to think about ?" WesteTIing demanded.

Another Guess.

Zone good, hope, will come from
this terrible European catacIysm,"
said F. E. Spaulding, treasurer of the
American School Peace league. War
will be taken cut of the hands of the
autocrats and put into the hands of
the people-the people, who, anyway,
are the ones who really have to do
the fighting.
'These heaven-born autocrats may
really desire peace, but they go
about maintaining it in such war
like way. Take, for example, the
kaiser's peace kilograms to the czar.
Why, they remind me of Shronk.
"Shronk stopped his motor car at
a desolate crossroads and yelled to a
farmer who lay on cart of fertilizer:
Hey, CornsiIk, is this the way to
CROYDON
'The farmer raised himself from the
fertilizer in establishment
By heck, stranger, how did you
know my name was Cornsilk?' he
asked

DELAYED Last Moments"

In the battle Of Friedland, on June
IA, 1907, there was young lieuten@
ant in Napoleon's army named
Schramm. When the victorious gen.
eral was riding over the battlefield
that evening he came upon the
eighteen-year-old officer lying on the
ground, mortally wounded, and weep
ing bitterly.
why do you weep?" asked Napo-
leon as he rode by.
Because | must die before I can
become a captain" the youth com
planned
The words oe the dying lieutenant
softened the emperor's heart. my
son, / shall gladly fulfill your wish"
he said. 81 hereby advance you to
the rank of captain"
The unexpected promotion actually
saved the boys life; he recovered.
Later on he fought most valiantly for
the cause of Napoleon, and by the
time of the battle of Waterloo he had
already become general. He out
lived his last moments" on the field
of Friedland by more than seventy
years.-Youth's Companion.

some select their larger squads for
market and keep the smaller birds,
which would sell for a much lower
figure as market squads, let them
grow and sell them later as breeders.
Great care should be taken in the
purchase of stock to know that it is
from lofts where there is no vermin.
1t is next to impossible to get lice out
of the loft when the flock once gets
thoroughly infested, and the introduce
ton of one or two dirty pigeons will
very soon cause such a condition.
Flocks will be found where there is
tendency toward roup, canker, and
other diseases, and these must be
avoided if success is to be secured.
Owners of flocks that have been in
tested are generally anxious to dis
pose of them, and dealers have been
known to purchase these goods, and
after little doctoring, offer them for
sale, being careful to say, They are
mated birds and in the prime of con-
dition as far as age, weight, etc, are
concerned" It is such experiences as
these that cause many to have i'll
luck from the beginning; in fact, they
failed before they had really begun.

Changing a Names Spelling.

Many have changed their names of.
late, but no surname probably has un-
dergone SO many alterations as that
of Sir Harry Stapleton Mainwaring
At Power hall, his Cheshire home,
there is record showing the differ
ent ways in which the name has been
spelled in the course of the centuries.
They number 1894, says the London
Chronicle. Shakespeare car beat the
394 different ways Of spelling Main
waring, and quite easily, too. In 1869
diligent American published a vol
ume showing that the poets name
could be spelled in 1000 different ways.
And the name of his father actually
appears under 16 different spellings
in the council books of Stratford, and
Shakespeare himself had no settled
convictions on the subject.

that they must have good, clean, pure

For while after he had hung up
the receiver Westerling's head
dropped, his muscles relaxed, giving
mind and body a release from tension.
But his spine was as stiff as ever as
he left the closet, and he was even
smiling to give the impression that
the news from the capital was favor

When he called his chiefs of divi-
sion it was hardly for staff council.

agement. 1t must be noted, however,
that certain breeds have a wider
range of adaptability and are more
popular than others. The number of
pure-bred fiocks is increasing every
year and the demand for good breed
ing stock is more than keeping pace
with the increase. Pure-bred stock
has number OF advantages over
grades. The natural or inherent ad-
vantages of pure-bred stock arise
from the fact that there has been a
concerted effort in the development of
the better breeds to establish, inten-
sify, and perpetuate their superior
qualities by using only the best ami
mails for breeding purposes. There
have been some exceptions to this,
some inferior animals have been en-
tered, but the formation of a breed
has in general been based upon SUI
periority in some form. Nevertheless,
owing to the temperance of inferior
individuals, not all pure-bred sheep
are suitable to retain in the flock =:
A breeder of pure-bred sheep can
develop reputation that never could
be acquired with grades. The sales of
pedigree breeding stock extend over
a much wider range of territory than
those of market stock. The show
ring also spreads abroad the fame of
the breeder of pure bred stock. Larg-
er prices are obtained for pure-bred
ewes and rams when sold for breeding
purposes, although it costs little more
to produce them after the flock is
once established. There is also more
stability in their values than in those
of market stock.
With a commercial flock there are
several phases that are worthy of con-
sideration. Early spring lambs is one
of the most important, while late
spring or early fall lambs should re-
ceive due consideration. The produc-
ton of winter or so-called dollhouse"

AGE OF PIGEONS IMPORTANT
Essential to Have Nothnc but Mated
Birds in Loft and Those From
Guaranteed Hardy Stock.
CIV c. GRAHAMN


Pigeons are considered to be at their
prime when three years old, and there
are very few pairs that pay for their
feed after they are seven years old.
They depreciate in value with age
The females are, as rule, more
delicate than the males in both old and
young pigeons, and when buying young
birds the purchaser is quite likely to
find among them many more males
than females. Not only is it essential
to- have nothing but mated birds in the
loft, but they should be from good
hardy stock. Some breeders have been
known to force their stock to such an
extent that they have lowered it's
vitality. Others are surrounded by
such conditions that it is impossible
to produce good, vigorous birds. while
