session of enough animals to start him
on the highway to success.
1t is always best to buy registered
animals for breeding, but If crosses
are used with registered stallion one
can in time breed up to very high
standard. Shetlands are very easily
kept. They require but little grain,
and will do very we'll on rocky hill
sides where there is fair pasturage.
They need shelter in bad weather,
of course, but an open shed, wind
tight on three sides, leaving the south
side open, will be all that is necessary.
A good wire fence is required to
keep them in bounds, as Shetlands are
extremely curious and somewhat rest
less, and will manage to get over, UNI
der, or through the average farm
fence.
If handled from birth they are very
easily broken, and at three years old
will be ready to ride or drive. Pure
bred Shetlands find ready sale at
prices ranging from SIPS to 5000, and
exceptionally fine specimens bring
even higher prices.

Getting Even.

asked, pointing to a small car.
Five hundred dollars" was the re-
ply.
And that?" pointing to better

Seven hundred and fifty dollars.
And that there one?" pointing to
a seven passenger, with jerk of his
thumb.
THAT is a fine car, and is worth
$1,000"
''I'll take it," said the farmer.
THE car is cash, you know" said
the salesman.
Yes, / got the money! said the
farmer, as he pulled roll of bills out
of his pocket, peeled off twelve 500
bills and paid for the car. Now you'll
show me how to drive the critter?"
Sure" said the salesman, that's q
part of the sale.'

ing three miles, overlook a man in a
wagon and honked and honked and

FOX TELLS ANOTHER STORY.

Il wish Mr.. Fox would tell another
story" said Jack Rabbit, as he pre-
pared to go again to the hillside and
consult the source of wisdom upon
which he had now come to depend
very much.
THAT story which he told me re-
Gently of the mouse and the frog was
very interesting, and it illustrated so
well the fact that so many of us seem
bound to make ourselves uncomfort-
able by binding ourselves to persons
and things unsuited to us. I shall
certainly try to make him tell an
other story today"
When Jack Rabbit got to Mr.. Fox's
house he did not find him at home;
but, knowing that unless something
very important detained him, he would
soon be there, he sat down to wait
And as he waited he saw on the
ground beside him great number of
ants, which were rushing about and
hurrying in all directions-at least
that was the way it seemed to Jack
Rabbit, although he thought they
must know what they were doing,
else they would not be working SO
hard.
He was busy watching the ants,
when, all at once, he was surprised to
find Mr.. Fox standing right beside
him and saying: How do you do this
morning?"
Jack Rabbit was rather ashamed to
be caught watching the ants, and
started to make some explanation OF
what he was doing, when he was
stopped by Mr.. Fox, who said: Don't
excuse yourself for watching the ants
who could not learn more than we al
ready know from these little insects
for they are very wise, and do many
things much better than even men dc
them. They are systematic and me
thodical; they know the rules of wal
and forms of government; they car
lift more than their own Weight and
carry it long way; they care fol
their sick, and provide for their fu
ture, and, above all, they have sense
Of gratitude, and after l have go

Jack Rabbit was delighted to thinl
that Mr.. Fox was going to tell him an
other story without his even having
to ask him, and he was very impatien
while Mr.. Fox was washing his paw
and face and getting off some of tn,
dirt, which, l fear, had got on then

HENS AS AERoPLANE SPIES
Work, According to an Eng
lIsh Writer.

The London Daily Chronicle repub-
odd article on the use Of animals TO
signify the approach of enemy aero
planes. The writer who is evidently
quite serious, has noticed that the
sight of certain animals is much keen
er than that of human beings, and in
a hasty view of the entire animal
kingdom he comes to the conclusion
that birds have the most alert vision
and that hens and pigeons are the
birds most get-at-able. most easily
trained and most reliable.
Hens will protect their chickens
against soaring birds of prey which
the sharpest human sight cannot
discover, and pigeons will fly In any
weather and are extraordinary doc
lie. The training of a hen or a
pigeon to announce the approach OF
an aeroplane is much easier than one
would think. They are to be placed
captured in the vicinity of a descend
ing air machine, and as soon as the
airman lands he Is to rush at the un-
fortunate fowls and belabor them with
a rod This practice is to be repeat
ed until the hen or pigeon believes its
life to be endangered by anything on
a large scale descending from the
skies. All day long these terrified
birds will strain their vision sky
ward, and the remotest speck in the
vault of heaven will fiutter the dove
cotes and hencoops as nothing else
would.
Another bird which adapts itself
to this military service is the com
mon crow He has the most extraordi
nary eyes, which enable him to see
in front of him and behind. An OBJ
! ject for which man requires
telescope is easily discovered by the
crow without any telescope. Grows
are very wise creatures, says the
Cologne writer, and once you catch
your crow, train him and whacl
him sufficiently, you will be sur
prised at the results when the enc
my aeroplanes come along.

TO FIGHT FATIGUE
Peculiar Organization That Has
Been Formed.
Society Believes That II Can DO Much
for the Elimination of THAT Tired
Feeling" on the Part Of tho
Workers.

In Providence. r. l., museum OF
devices for the elimination of un-
necessary fatigue has recently been
opened. Ten of thousands of letters
have been mailed calling for such de-
vices. but, strange to say, only half
a dozen have been sent. But several
colleges, whose professors have been
attending the course in scientific man.
agement, of which the museum is a
result, have taken up this matter &C
unnecessary fatigue and are trying to
devise means for it's elimination.
Frank B. Gilbreth, who is in charge
of this museum, says large amount
of the fatigue accumulated by workers
of all sorts is preventable, being

hunter. going through the WOOD, saw
the same dove sitting on the branch
of a tree, and determined to kill 1t.
The dove, intent upon watching ner
nest, did not see the hunter, and so
did not fly away; but the ant, watch
ing the hunter while he loaded his
gun, knew that the dove was in dan
ger, and determined. If possible, to
save her. He ran as fast as he could
toward the hunter, and reached him
just as he was making ready to fire.
"Scrambling as fast as he could up
the hunters leg, he reached bare
place above his stocking just as the
hunter aimed his gun, and, biting him
as hard as he could, he made the
hunter miss his aim, and the sound
Of the gun alarming the dove, she
few away to safe place."
WELL" said Jack Rabbit, that was
certainly fine thing for the ant to
do, and particularly as it is not likely
the dove ever knew why it was the
hunter missed his aim"
Indeed" said Mr.. Fox. ut was all
the more credit to the ant that he
performed the kindness without ex
pecting the whole world to know of it
And the whole story" continued Mr.
Fox, furnishes proof of the lessor
that even the smallest sort of kind
ness is profitable to the one who
does 1t.
And now 1 am going in to take &

caused by wrong lighting, vibration,
improper adjustment of chairs or
stools to benches or desks, standing
instead of sitting.
Naturally the first object of atten-
ton for the anti-fatigue crusaders was
the chair-or the lack of it. Conse-
quently several fatigue-saving chairs
have been designed and are now being
used in many factories at Providence,
where the rule has-become: "A chair
for every worker whether he needs it
or not" Some of the chairs already
in use are shown in the pictures
printed here with, which are taken
from photographs furnished by Mr..
Gilbreth.
That showing the man filing piece
of steel was specially designed for
such work as that, which has always
been done standing. The chair, which
can be made by any carpenter, has a
solid projecting foot rest which en-
ables the worker to push a file as
vigorously sitting as standing. The
chair is of such a height that the work
er can stand or sit with equal ease.
The chair in which the woman is
sitting at sewing machine is the re-
suit of experiments in eliminating vi
bration. In large factories where
much machinery is running, the vibra-
ton causes great fatigue. This chair
is set upon strong springs that take up
all the vibration.
The other chairs are ordinary chairs
raised to exactly the right height for
the particular work and the individual
worker by placing their legs in sock
cts in wood blocks. which, of course
can be removed and adjusted to any
height. Mr. Gilbreth is anxious to
hear from anyone who has devised OF
who can devise any object that will
eliminate any form of fatigue in any
Office or factory work.
