Sam had worked on the farm for niue
years, and until his master took up poul-
try farming was quite satisfied with life.
But this poultry business was BIT too
much. He had TO take the eggs as they
were laid and write the date on them
with an indeIIbe pencil. And. worse
than that, he had also TO write on The
eggs the breed Of The hen that laid them.
So one day he marched up TO the farm
er.
'1'm about fed up" said he. "and I'm
going TO leave"
Surely, SAM" said he. "you're not
going TO leave me after all these years 2"
"Yes, but ! am" retorted Sam. "l'ye
done every kind of rotten job on this
here farm, but I'D rather starye than go
on being private secretary TO your old
hens :"

Bows, Iudging Contest.

At Morgan's Grove fair last week the
Jefferson County Farm Bureau added a
new feature for the boys. On Wednes-
day at 9 a. m. twelve boys between the
ages of twelve and eighteen met V.
Shipman, county agent. in the Farm Bu-
reau tent. AT this place the boys were
given instructions concerning "score
card" judging OF dairy cows. AT $50
five dairy cows OF various types were led
into the new show ring for the boys
first class of the contest. On Thursday
morning the boys were given lesson on
draft horses Judging by Morgan Lee,
who ju1ged the horses. Following this
the boys placed class OF draft horses,
The papers turned in the second morn
ing showed much improvement over the
first. The papers were corrected and
graded on the basis OF correct placement
OF animals in class, and the reason for so
placing the animals. Greater weight was
given TO the reason for so placing them
than to the placement, for, after all. il is
the reasons that a Judge must concern
himself with. The highest grade was
made by Bernard Whiting, west OF town,
who was awarded s. so dollars in gold.
The next three highest grades were hand
ed in by Robert L. Moore, Charles Town !;
Winters Folk, Shepherdstown and Phil
ip Campbell. Kearneysvile, in the order
mentioned. All the papers turned in
showed good work on the part OF the
boys.
1t is hoped that this contest will stimu-
late enough interest that boys judging
contests of cattle, horses, hogs aud corn
may be big feature ofthe 1915 Morgan's
Grove fair.

The Reckoning.

What dc they reck who sit aloof On thrones,
Or in the chambered chanceleries apart
Playing the game OF state.with subtle art.
II so be they may win, what wretched groans
Rise from red fields, what unrecorded bones
Bleach within shallow graves, what bitter smart
Pierces The widowed or the orphaned heart
The unhooded horror for which naught atones
A word. pen-stroke and this might not be
But vengance, power-lust fostering jealousy
Triumph. and grim carnage stalks abroad.
Hark Hear that ominous bugle on the wind
And they who might have stayed it. shall they find
No reckoning within the courts OF God2

A farmer spilled some whiskey on his
barn floor, so that little stream Of it ran
out. A certain mouse sailed forth from
his hole and being thirsty took sip. 1t
tasted strange and he went back in his
hole and thought. Then he came out and
took another sip and went back again and
thought. Then he came out and took
big drink. Then he jumped up on the
edge of a soapbox and stood upon his
hind legs, bristled his whiskers, and ex-
claimed:

Chapter Xxi.

We met Dick going in the hotel. He
seemed very glad to see his father,
and as he put his arms about his
mother and kissed her could see he
was very fond of her
Up to this time had been thinking
to myself that did not marry Dicks
family, but. it came to me all at once
that that was just what l had done.
No man or woman who marries can
help marrying the whole family.
Get room as near us as possible
for your father and mother, Dick"
said, for they are going to stay with
us all night"
"Goodw exclaimed Dick heartily.
By the time we were upstairs Dick
followed US with the keys to room
just across the hall, and in few mo-
ments the folks were settled, and
Dicks father came across and opened
the door
''Well, well, Margiep' he said, you
certainly have made a pretty place
of it."
do you think so, Dad?" asked
Dick proudly. 81 think myself it's
about the only thing in interior deco
ration, but, you see, l may be rather
prejudiced."
Just then his mother came in. l
could see by her face that she was
agreeably surprised by the rooms,
and she said: where did you learn
so much, Margie, about household
decoration? You have certainly made
as pleasant an abiding place for Dick
as anyone could wish
do you think so, Mother, dear?"
I questioned gayly. ITS awfully
sweet of you to say so.' l had never
seen Dick look happier since we were
married than he did as went over
and kissed his mother.
81 not only think it, but am going
to ask Margie to help me do over our
house next spring"

81 won't let you use any nudes,

ly as she stood before one of my pet

picture was chaste and beautiful
very rare expression of the famous
artist.
"Of, course, that is a matter of

plunge calling her mother comes
easy. Personally, can see nothing
wrong in the picture, but it is only a
question of taste-not morals
do you really think it is modesto"
she inquired.

what the word modest means to
YOU" answered. at seems to me
that every person, as we'll as every
country, has different definition. To
me what people call modesty is some
thing which most people cannot de-
fine, but which they make to cover a
certain prescribed standard of con-
duct which must not be deViated from
under any circumstances"
"And the deViations are much
worse If the other fellow does the de-
waiting" put in MoIlie.
81 am going to teach my children

that decency and indecency are con-
