Not for Donald.


Sandy and Donald were discussing
the domestic infelicities of a mutual
friend.
"Ay, ay," said Sandy. "Jamies
Thompson has a sair time wi that
wife O. his. They say they're quar-
reling"
What else can ye expect?" was
Donald's scornful retort. "The puir
feckless creature marit after courtin'
for only seven years. Man, he had
no chance to ken the woman in sich
a short time. When was coortin', l
coorted for 20 years"
This little dialogue took place on
a railway journey, and In the further
corner of the compartment sat an
Englishman, listening and much
amused.
And may l ask he inquired, "if
connubial bliss followed this long
courtship?"
Il tell ye I coorted for 20 year" "
he said, "and in that time kent what
woman was, and so didna marry. ="

the new schoolmistress. with some
apprehension in her voice. 'I ask be-
cause l wanted to cross the pasture
last night, and l was afraid he might
be ugly"
Mr.. Peaslee surveyed the young
lady with kindly eyes, and hesitated
before he replied.
"W-well,' he conceded, at length,
"it might be a mite resly-you with
that red sweater on, and ALTO un-
dertake to cross that pasture when
he's right handy. He might take a

when Lathrop fust got that ami
NAL, he had a Swede workin' for
him. and he had the care of the bull
bout all the time while he stayed
here. That Swede was kind of
stupid critter, and l guess he got
careless. It any rate, one day we
heard bellerin' goin on up there in
the pasture, and the Swede hollerin
at the top of his voice, so we all
grabbed pitchforks and put up there
as hard as we could pelt, and we
didn't any more'n get there in time,
as twas.
After we men-there was five of
US, with pitchforks-had braided the
bull away from the man, we got
him-the man, | mean-oyer the
fence, and kinder went over him for
injuries. He had one broken arm
and two broken legs and besides that
he was trod up consid able. And
while We was sortin him over, it
took three men to keep the bull from
gettin over the fence and havin' an
other go at him.
"And ever since that time" con-
cluded Mr.. Peaslee, judicially, "I've
sort of had my doubts about that ami
NAL. In fact, I can't hAlp thinkin
that he's a kind Of unruly beast"

telling people to protect their horses
from cold and storm, paying dog
taxes, etc., and he explained that he
charged ten cents line for the first
insertion and five cents line for
the second week. That this was
about the equivalent of what is
known as the legal rate charging by
the inch.
Mr.. Dooley explained that his bill
for ten dollars was for the publica-
ton of the financial report of ten
inches. That it was what is called
tabular matter, and is charged for at
a higher rate than straight matter"
The committee looked rather in
quiringly at Mr.. Trego, and he ex-
planned that the rule is that where
there is reading matter and figure
work, and the figures must be ar
ranged in columns, it takes a CLASH
fication of rate and half, and that
makes it dollar and half an inch.
Mr.. Peck smiled and said, "And
this is ten inches?"
Mr.. Dooley: Eyes, that is ten
inches"
Mr.. Peck: "Tell me, just what is
ten inches in this work."
Mr.. Trego: 1T seems to be five
inches deep and it is two columns
wide. A column wide and an inch
deep is the measure, and this will
be ten inches"
Mr.. Dooley: ooh, I didn't charge
enough did I! 1 ought to nave made
that SIS instead of So" And he
blushingly seized the bill, and added,
"By your permission l will raise it
to $15."
There were no objections, so Mr..
Dooley received his money.

hour, the session having cost In

councilman, D. L. O'Neal, declines to
accept his share, and in that event ii

ing little alteration about it the
train got under way, and he was
permitted to- get off at Ft. Hall.
When the train returned in the after
noon he went to board it, and was
asked if he had ticket. Replying
that he had not, he was advised to
buy one, which he did in time to ride
out on it. When he fusssed about
being kidnapped at Blackfot he was
informed that he was tresspasser
on the train when he boarded it
without a ticket, and that 1t would
be his duty to take the matter kindly.
He had pleasant day at Fl. Hall,
viewing the campas and public build

great expanse of space to the west

on that old equation, IF there is no
end to space, about how far must it

of the coaches of number IA south,
and went in to greet him. When the
train began to move he walked out,
but the brakeman stood on the steps
and delayed him. Seeming surprised
that man should want to get off

and it would be better to stop it for
him to alight, and he glanced sig

will get when the cows are all wrought

COLLEGE TRAINING

Pennsylvania Woman Well Paid

A woman who had sent her farm
hand to state college got the expense
money back in one year. She tells
me that his knowledge of COWS has
worked a small miracle.
He tests the milk, makes formula
for the feed each cow should have
and weighs and measures results In a
fashion that fairly startled the neigh
bors.
Once a COW was COW, but now a
poor COW very quickly becomes beef.
writes Girard in Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t was formerly the fashion
to give the entire herd the same guam
tity as we'll as the same kind of feed,
regardless of what was best for each
Now that's changed.
This college-educated farm hand has
proved that it pays best to own only
good COWS. The neighbors soor
caught that idea, and that neighbor
hood has been revolutionized in the
milk business by this one person.
I know another woman who keeps
chickens, and she has told me that sht
earns 40 per cent a year on her invest

The pulling of the crop is not an

hand and deposited in windows con-
tanning the onions from three OF four
rows.
They should be left in these wind
rows until fully cured which will re-
quire about one week. On bright
days the curing will be fastened by
stirring with wooden rake, being
careful not to bruise them.
II there Is danger OF rainy season
the crop may be cured in open sheds
or on barn floor. II the rays Of the
sun are very hot, the onions should
be gathered in small piles containing

After the crop is cured the bulbs
should be sorted, topped II desired
