Habitual idleness cannot be happi-
ness. If an intelligent human being
is content to live in idleness he has
sunk below the capacity for happiness.
Man was made for useful employment.

that self has become something enjoy

Those who always have leisure to do
exactly what they wish seldom feel
a very ardent wish to do anything II
is the labor of achieving that brings

has no share in it misses not only
his heritage of usefulness. but his

LAWYERS JUGGLING WORDS TO PROVE WHAT

:. BY N. ID. COCHRAN.

BY N. D. COCHRAN.
If there is anything that amuses
me more than lawyer, it is several
lawyers and the more there are of
them the funnier they are.
like to watch them do funny
tricks with words, and make Ian
guage mean what it doesn't say, and
say what it doesn't mean.
A corporation lawyer that is worth
his salt to his boss can pick a word
out of the dictionary, show it to you,
let you smell it, taste it and feel it
and then turn it inside out and show
you that it isn't, a word at all, but a
pink guinea pig or blue monkey.
1 have just waded through, fifty
pages of printed opinion in which
gang of corporation lawyers under
take to prove conclusively that by no
possible construction can certain
words in a franchise ordinance mean
what the men who hired the lawyers
don't want them to mean.
And if the same lawyers had been
hired by the city 1 have no doubt at
all that they would have proven just
as conclusively that the same words
have an entirely different meaning.
By this dexterity in juggling words
and making the law mean anything
or nothing, these learned gentry
known as lawyers have succeeded in
making the people of this country
laugh at both lawyers and the law.
The opinions have just been read
ing and laughing at purports to have

Chicago Tunnel Co., and one to Jos.
W. Harris, president of the Automatic
Electric Co.
Now I'm going to tell you what it's
all about.
In the ordinance passed by coun-
Gil Feb. 20, 1899, granting telephone
franchise to what is now known as
the tunnel company, this provision
for forfeiture was made:
And if said company, its success
ors and assigns, shall fail to con-
struct, equip and install telephone
system under the terms of the ordi-
nance to said company of February
20, 1899, adequate for the service of
10000 subscribers, prior to June 1,
1911, or, if at any time after said June
1, 1911, said company, its success
ors and assigns, shall not have in
operation or shall cease to operate a
telephone system serving 10000 bona
fide subscribers, than and in each
case said company, its successors and
assigns, shall also forfeit to the city,
or to any icensee or grantee of the
city designated or authorized by the
city for this purpose), all rights ac-
quired under said ordinance of Feb
ruary 20, 1899, together with its plant
and equipment for telephone pur-
poses, ETC."
Now, being human being and not
a lawyer, YOU would naturally think
that that provision in the ordinance
means what it says; and that if the
automatic wasn't actually serving
10000 bona fide subscribers at the
time required, the plant of the COM
pany, and all its rights under the
ordinance, were forfeited to the city,

WHO'S WHO IN POULTRY
Series of Articles Which Enthusiasts Describe the Fowls
They Raise and Tell Why They Like Them.
No. ai.-rHE SILVER wYANDoTTE.

Here is the way an enthusiastic
breeder of Silver Wyandottes writes
about this oldest of the Wyandotte
family: The Silvers are the original
variety of Wyandottes. Just as a.
stream cannot rise higher than it's
fount, so the Silvers are the oldest
and best of the Wyandottes, and
others cannot go higher. The Silvers
made the name "Wyandotte" famous.
While all varieties are of American
origin, yet they are just as popular
in England and Australia as they are
in America. Take them the world
over, the Wyandottes are the most
popular of all chickens. Their ster-
ling worth well justifies this popu-
larity, for whether they be bred for
beauty or for their flesh, or for egg
production, none can excel them.
The Silver Wyandottes are the
greatest foragers, sod viii gather for
themselves a large part of their food
if given an opportunity. They do not
spend all their time around the back
porch waiting for the scraps to be
thrown out as do the big, lazy breeds.
Docility is characteristic of the
Silver Wyandottes. They are ideal
sitters and mothers. Being of me-
dunn weight, they do not crush the
eggs or little chicks by stepping on
them as do the large and clumsy
breeds. They will not fight the chicks
Of other hens. Some years ago l had
a hen of another breed, and on a rainy
day, which caused several hens with
young chickens to congregate under
a shed, she killed some twenty-five
chicks. l have never known one of
my Silver Wyandotte hens to injure
in any way the chicks of another
hen On the other hand, they seem
to take special delight in adopting
any little chick which has gotten
lost from it's mother. even when their
own chicks are much larger.
The Silver Wyandottes mature very
rapidly, and will reach the broiler
stage quicker than most other breeds
The pullets often begin laying at five
and six months of age, and with
their rich yellow skin and legs, their
round. full breast and their fine
grained, tender flesh, are superior for
the home table and for market, where
they bring the tip-top price.
The acknowledged fowl which car
ries with 1t the yellow skin has al
ways been favored for the table in

Throughout the country an in
creasing interest is being shown IN
the mich goat. Keeping one or two
for a family milk supply is a popu-
lar practise especially where the
space available for pasturage is
limited. Probably the most satisfac-
tory goats for milking purposes are
those bred in Switzerland, and known
as Swiss mich goats, or Toggenburg
goats These goats are ideal for
suburban people. They can be kept
in a small space, and the feed bill is
hardly worth mentioning. Although
the amount of milk given is not
large. this milk is exceedingly rich
and nourishing. 1t has one remark
able quality; it is absolutely free
from tuberculosis germs. Moreover,
it is far better for infants and chill
dren than cows milk.
Most people who keep mich goats
feed just what they have on hand;
clover hay or alfalfa is the best fod-
der. Pumpkins, cowpeas, corn fod-
der, clean apple and potato Feelings,
oats and corn ground or whole),
bran, cabbage or turnips stale bread,
pie crust, biscuits, or any clean waste
food will be eaten readily. All the
feed must be placed off the ground in
clean receptacle. These animals will
eat nothing in which there is dirt,
no matter how hungry they may be.
1t is we'll to place a piece of rock
salt in boxes so that they will have
access to it at all times.
The goats drink very little water
if it is cold. If it is possible, it it
well to make the water lukewarm,
and give it once a day in clean YES
sells. In changing from one feed to
another, or changing from grass or
browse to alfalfa, or vice versa, care
must be taken to feed sparingly until
the animals become accustomed to
the change.
The goats drop from one to four
kids at birth, but usually two in the
case of thoroughbred does. When the
kids are born, it is well to see that
they are dry and take a little nurs-
ing. No further attention need be
given them. The foregoing precau-
tions apply to the more delicate ami
mails; hearty animals get along any
way, although much better if given
attention. The milk is used in the
same way as cows milk; in coffee it
has the same effect as pure cows
cream. The milk is from one-third
to one-half richer than cows milk.
In one case in a small city the goats
run loose in the back yard during the
day and are stabbed during the night
Two stalls being made in the old
fashioned way-a hay rack-above
and feed box below. The hay rack
is connected by chute to the hay
loft.
When milking time comes, one goat
is loosed from her stall, feed put in a
pan, put on milking stand, and the
goat mounts the stand voluntarily
and. is MIXED. Then the next goat is
