Joyce, whose home was near
a pond about a mile in length
and half a mile in width, went
to Boston when she was four
years old.
The aunt she was visiting
said, Il will take you to see the
ocean"
Il will look at your ocean,"
replied Joyce in a very conde-
scending manner, "but we have
a pond at home" Every Week.
The abuse of wealth causes

liquor, the killing of blind pigs
should be easy sport.

Suddenly Ruth heard n famflinr

Suddenly Pell started 20 roll over to

John after him. This new danger ap-
palled the girl She watched with FMS
cinated eyes.
John Dorr was well out Of breath by
this time and knew his man. Il was
a desperate struggle, for the thief was
fighting for his freedom and possibly
his life SO Dorr settled down TO hold
him until his wild strength ebbed and
he could handle him.
Henry Pell, on the other hand. knew
precisely his plight and saw with ex-
actness what would happen to him I'M

tied him down. Like all men OF his
class. he was averse TO carrying weap-

planned another mode Of getting away.
In pursuance OF It, he gradually work

escape ladder. II he could once get
his hands on those iron rails and swing
himself over, his assailant must in
evitably either let go or drop over.
Pel knew the steel strength of his
own arms, practiced for years in just
such tricks.
But the presence Of n second man
right in front of the ladder, as he
perceived through his blurred eyes,
rendered that hope out Of the ques-
ton. In desperate fury he kicked
DOrr violently, tore one arm loose and
drove his bony fist like a bullet into
Johns throat.
This forced Dorr for the moment 70

the ladder He was halted by the
sight of a perfectly level gun held IN
the hand Of a man who evidently knew
how to use It, He darted back. and
John caught him again, this time with
well directed blow that felled him.
A second later the thief was helpless.
lying almost at the very edge OF the
roof He was trapped and he knew IT.
There was but one thing to do, get
rid of the evidence that he had been
thieving. With a dirt of his elbow. he
managed to send the bundle of papers
which had fallen out of his pocket
over the coping and into the air Then
he choked up to DOrr.

Rats as Plaque Transmitters.

In view of the admitted importance of the rat in the transmission of plague, the study of this disease among rodents has become as neees- 5ary from the point of view of pre- ventiYe hygiene as is the management of the human cases when they arise. In a report to the local government board of England, on rat plague in East Anglia during the period from July to October. 1911, the magnitude of single campaign is shown. Dur ng four months 15.332 rats were ex- amined for plague infection. Thirty five of the rats were found to be plague infected. Twenty-seyen premi- ses were found to harbor plague-in- fected rats. The places were all with in an area previously pronounced to be infected The rat destruction, which has been maintained by local enterprise for somewhat more than a year, had, in many localities, appre- ciably diminished the rat population.

 Cowpeas make nutritious hay rel ished by nearly all live stock, but the plant is a rank grower and the hay is a little difficult to cure
 Planted with corn. cowpeas make silage richer in protein than corn alone and produce as much silage
 Planted with corn at last cultivation cowpeas have increased the yield of corn more than 3112 bushels an acre, the average for five years
 Cowpeas planted as catch crop be- tween crops of wheat have increased wheat yield l-3 bushels an acre the average for five years
 Used as a catch crop after wheat in rotation of wheat and corn, the yield of corn was increased more than nine bushels an acre. the average for four years.
 For hay the varieties of cowpeas giving best results are whippoorwin, mount olive, new era and gray goose; for ensilage. whippoorwill for a catch crop after wheat. new era; for early maturity new era.
