I were walking and We met the room

town in the afternoon while the other
girls were iu class. When I told my
sister about il she said must not go.

the other girls at their recitation han

MANY READY FOR THE JOB
Advertisement That Might Seem Be-
You'd Reason Evidently Found
Considerable Readers.

There is accommodating evidence that
people read the advertising columns.
The other night a man telephoned an
advertisement for a man ID drive q
car to the coast, says the Phoenix
(Afiz.) Republican. Though there is
an easily recognizable difference be-
tween a car and COW. it is not so
distinguishable by telephone, and the
young man in the office understood
that the customer wanted cow driv-
en- to Los Angeles. II did not occur
to him that there was anything un-
usual in that means OF transporting .
cow so long a distance across the Cal
ifornia desert.
1t struck the linotype operator that
this was little out Of the ordinary.
but the operator, having not yet taken
out his annual city and county license
to change advertising copy. followed 1t.
Two days later the advertiser tele-
phoned again. this time for emenda-
ton, correction and relief. He said
that since the appearance of the ad-
vertisement thirty men had called on
him to get the job of driving that COW.
Many offered to back themselves with
testimonials as to their proficiency in
the art of handling cattle. Some Of
fered to furnish guarantees that they
would land the cow in Los Angeles
some time before Christmas.

The Unframed Soldier.

An interesting view of the status of
the British army at the front is con-
tanned in a letter from a university
man serving in France:

erful French army. No British
general, however much he may have
studied. has ever had so great a mass
OF men to deal with. To me the won.
der is not that we did so badly, but
that We did so remarkably well, in the
circumstances. To place the blame
on Kitchener for not providing suffi-
cient high explosive shells is a criti.
cism so highly fatuous that / should

thirty odd miles OF British front, and

PUREBRED SHEEP
BEST FOR MUTTON
Animals of Medium Grade Lack
Condition and Quality NeCeS-
sary for Best Prices.

Why are purebred sheep the best
for mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep of the medium grades lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Medium grade sheep as a rule have
long, loosely coupled bodies with little
spring of rib and rough outline and
coarse and often paunchy. Animals OF
this class are not desirable and mar
ket buyers make the most of their bad
points.
A good thing to remember when
lambing time comes on. A lamb that
is SO badly chilled it appears to be
dead may be revived by pouring down
its throat half pint of warm milk
into which a tablespoonful of gin has
been poured.
If there is no gin in the house dip
the lamb In a tubful of warm water,
dry it off with a rough cloth and place
IL near the stove. Get some warm
milk into its stomach If possible and
in few minutes it will be as risky
as ever.

PRACTICAL STORAGE HOUSE FOR APPLES
Floor and Foundation of Storage Plant.

The storage OF fruit on the farm
is a problem which confronts many
growers. The delay in getting fruit
into storage after picking is the cause
OF much loss through rapid deteriora-
ton. The experiment station at Ur-
bana, Ill, undertook work along this
line some time ago. and one OF the
experiments conducted on the farm OF
L. r. Bryant, near Princeton, has
proved successful in every way.
This storage room is in the north
end OF the basement Of a barn, hav-
ing inside dimensions of feet high.
10 feet inches wide, and 81 feet 1
inches long. The ice chamber is at
the east end and occupies an addi-
tional width of 5 feet inches The
floor foundation is made of six inches
of gravel and cinders, on which is
laid 2x4 inch scantling, layer of tar
paper, matched flooring, a layer Of
building paper, Turing strips, another
layer Of building paper and one-inch
boards, the latter forming the surface
Of the floor.

Women and Law.

'In their passionate desire for the
public good" says Margaret Deland,
the novelist, women seem to have
more heart and less head than men.
They seem to be more single minded.
but with all their earnestness there is
a sentimentality, a lawlessness. an
emotional shallowness, lack OF thor
oughness in the way in which they
approach public questions which, quite
apart from the question Of doubling
the irresponsible vote, makes the mat
ter OF their exercising the suffrage
alarming
"And in nothing is their shallow
ness more alarming than in their in
difference to law The most majestic
thing humanity has evolved is surely
the abstraction called law.
THAT the administration OF law Is
defective is neither here nor there.
OF course it is defective. but the idea
itself, law itself, terrible and giori-
Gus, is the wonder OF time
That we, poor 'agglutinations OF
dust, as Stevenson calls US. that we
should have evolved law surely shows
US to be part of the Eternal Law that

Hymn Books Rout Mad Doo

A mad dog broke up the services
and put to flight the congregation in
st. Johns Episcopal church In West
Hoboken. In the middle of the ser.
mon the huge mongrel dashed through
the open door and down the center
aisle. The terrified congregation
scrambled over seats, huddled In cor
ners and tried TO escape from the
building. One little girl was bitten in
the leg. She was hurried away by her
parents.
Then the dog made for the minis.

pulpit. Mr. Cleveland met the dogs
attack with a volley OF hymn books,
and managed TO drive it into a vestry

locked Ii in.
The church had been emptied by
this time, and the services were not
resumed. A policeman shot the dog

ALL ARE WELCOME TO CLUB
Doors Of London institution Open -
Methodists Of Every coun-
try In the World.

A unique club has Just been launched
in London. II Is called the Wesley
club. and it's headquarters are In .he
great Wesleyan Central hall near the
houses OF parliament. says the Chris
tian Herald. II Is the first club to be
formed solely in connection with some
religious body, and owes its inception
to Sir Robert Perkes. who among
other things revolutionized the I'M
derground railways OF London. organ
lied the Million Guineas fund which
the Wesleyan Methodists raised some
years ago. and made possible the erec-
tior OF the magnificent hall which
houses the new club.
The club is open to all Methodists-
Wesleyan. Primitive. United and OF
both sexes-and whether they come
from England or other parts or the
globe. Indeed, one OF its aims Is to
make the hall even more Of a gather
ing place than IL has been for all mem
bers of the great Methodist family.
numbers of whom come to London
from al parts of the earth and visit
the hall. The visitors book shows
many names from New York, Phila-
delphia and other American cities. as
we'll as those of callers from Australia,
Africa and even from Asia.
Politics will be barred in the Wes-
ley club. and in the first line of MEM
bers names prominent in all the Brit
ish political parties appear. The club.
in short, is intended to be a place
where members OF the Methodist body
can indulge in that free-and-easy social
intercourse which has been one of the
good results of that outstanding Meth
odist characteristic-broth
