TATTING.

TATTING.
Did you ever tat? Do you know
what tatting is?
Tatting is the art of tangling up
thread in a long, continuous strip
and in such manner that it will not
unravel. This is accomplished with
some thread, sort of shuttle-bobbin
affair, and lot of time. A nickel's
worth of thread is sufficient to kill
several hours time-even days, if
you are just learning, and passing
time is, of course, the object of tat
ting. Embroidering and crocheting
are still used as excuses for afternoon
teas by old-fashion ladies, but the
younger set this year will demand
that tatting be the diversion at such
functions.
Many family tie has been strain
ed almost to the breaking point be-
cause friend husband could not, at
first, see the beauty in yard of
this new art. Of course it looks diff
ferent after Mrs, explains that it
has taken two hours of hard work
to produce three inches of it, but
he secretly feels that he could have
wasted just as much thread in much
less time. There's consolation in a
man having to his own opinion in
such matters, even though he has to
keep them to himself.
AS a preventative of homework,
tatting has everything else skinned
that has been invented to give this
protection to our daughters. The
piano or a novel isn't in it with tat
ting. What has girl to show after
an hour at the piano? What re-
mains of story after it is read?
With tatting, she gets tangible, and
tangled, results. And then the art
is so fascinating. A girl absorbed
in her tatting does not worry and be-
come nervous about her mother, less
absorbed and less fascinated in the
kitchen. 1t is said that a cookbook
ing young man is the only thing
that can induse a good-looking young
girl to forget her tatting-
that is, while the housework is 60
ing on. OF course, after the mother
has finished this, the daughters
mad desire to complete her piece is
considerably abated

All of them were men of ability and
had at various times been elected

whom proved 10 be strong candi-

Raising Wolves For Bounty.

The industry of raising wolves for
the bounty paid thrives we'll in
O'Brien County, says the Primghar
Democrat. There has been two lit
tiers brought in so far this spring for
which the county has been bled to
the tune of $50. Under the law
the bounty on an adult wolf is $40
but the killing of the adult would in
jure the business. No attempt is
made to catch the old wolves, instead
they are fed and watched and when
a litter of pups arrive the den is
robbed and the county pays the
freight. Another law that should
be repealed, and when the farmers
chickens, young pigs and sheep be-
gin to disappear there will be gen.
eral roundup and the whole pack
slaughtered without any expense to
the county. The payment of a
bounty only paves the way for a
little easy graft.

Pull Up The Awnings.

1t is mighty good thing to turn
up the awnings of a night whether
the heavens look serene or other
wise. Not doing so entailed loss
of $500 or $500 worth of plate glass
during the recent storm in Oelwein.
1t also entailed loss on awnings
where the glass was not effected. An
awning is fine article to keep out
the glare of the sun but it is bad
business when a gale is blowing.

To Prevent Colts From Choking.

Valentine Barth, one Of our good
farmer friends has handed us the
following receipt, to prevent colts
from choking.
Take an iron rod, about $s of an
inch thick and two feet long; bend
a ring on each end the size of a
dollar, and then slip the halter tie
threw the rings, which will leave
the little rod b4geen the halter
and hanger, thus preventing the colt
from getting the rope around its
neck. 1t is simple; it takes about
ten minutes to make one, and may
be worth dollars to you.
