GOOD WORK DONE
BY ~" ORGANIZATION
Annual Report of Association Is Full
of Data Showing Its
Activities

The figures of the new Y. M. C. A.
year book now being issued give far
more satisfactory showing than has
been expected by association men.
The report shows an increase in the
number of organizations by eight. OF
the 1888 now existing, $50 are rail
road, 81 army and navy, 675 college,
LAT colored and ga Indian. OF the
620,79 members, more than half are
boys and young men under twenty;
96,760 are in industrial vocations;
447 1861 take physical training in TBS
gynasiums and 276 athletic fields. The
1862 athletic teams or clubs have
106,733 members, an increase of 26,-
400.
The report is full of encourage
ment. Among other things it shows
great volume of activities. In the
past year there were 13,131,7 meals
served in restaurants by the "Y'
members. Employment was found
for 53,217. No account is given OF
the daily interviews given tens of
thousands of young men in reference
to every possible question concerning
life and living.

the meat being left clean and stain
less. OF course, if several blows are
struck about the animals head with
the axe before it is killed; then its
neck all haggled up in an attempt to
stick and bleed it, results will be un-
satisfactory, clots of blood being left
at various points in the body, and the
meat thus having more of tendency
to spoil than where it is handled cor
rectly.
Another excellent way to kill hog
is to shoot it with a small calibre
rifle (22 or 80 balD, aiming for the
shot to take affect at the same point
as when the animal is struck with an
axe. The admirable part of this
method, is, that it is more certain,
consequently quicker and more hu-
name than by the axe if one is a
good shot. Also, there is no crushing
of the bones nor bruising of the flesh
as with an axe. Again, we have seen
the man with the axe miss the vital
spot; then comes the unpleasant task
of chasing the half-killed animal
which, being alarmed at the pain of
the attack, often will not cease
struggling and squealing till silenced
by succession of blows, aimed while
the poor brute is on the move, or
while someone holds it still.

The Appetizing Apple

In spite of the fact that the apple
was the downfall of our ancestors, we
still enjoy the forbidden fruit, and
without doubt it has a large place in
our affections. There are apples of
some variety in the market the year
round, but the winter apple is the
favorite. 1t would almost seem that
there had been everything said about
serving apples, but some new COM
bination or arrangement is springing
up each day. For the common baked
apple, to add to it's attracticeness a
marshmallow placed on top while
they are still hot, or even before they
come from the oven, makes a pretty
garnish. Serve them with whipped
cream. Whipped cream with cube
of jelly or a sprinkling of nuts on
baked apples affords pleasing
change. Filings for cored apples
that are to be baked are many. Nuts,
raisins, candied cherries or dates and

Foley Kidney Pills are tonic,

and to a disordered and painful blad-
der. They act quickly and contain
no dangerous or harmful drugs.

Little girl, the wind is blowing
Mighty chilly from the north;
Leaves are flying, summers dying
Winters coming, etc.
Seems TO me the changing seasons
Ought to work a change in you,
And you'd really feel much better
Ii you'd don a coat or two.
Little girl, if you can stand it,
III admit that you look sweet,
Still, | think a wooley sweater
Sure would give your chest treat,
Don't you think the time is nearing
When its best to give up style,
Give your health little coddling
And take comfort for awhile?
Little girl the wind is blowing
Mighty chilly from the north,
Summers dying, leaves are flying,
Winters coming, etc,
And across my vagrant fancy
Runs this fact that's all too true;
If the leaves don't haste their falling,
They'll be fluttering down on you.

Simple Methods of Killing Hogs

For the benefit of a subscriber who
recently inquired about killing hogs
and in the interest Of our large fam
lily of readers, we wish to state that
killing by striking the animals in the
head with an axe has been practiced
by US for years with good results and
never a failure.
The blow should be given as nearly
in the center of the head as possible,
slightly above the eyes. A little prac-
tice will enable one to kill a hog
stone-dead at a single blow, when it
can be stuck with a knife in the usual
way, severing the main artery in the
neck, so the ANIMAL will bleed quick
ly and well.
Killing in this manner admits of
profuse and thorough bleeding, so
that all the blood-vessels of the body
are completely drained of their fluid,

Today's Poem
| FRIEND OR TWO

A FRIEND OR TWO
There's all Of pleasure and all of
peace
With friend or two,
And all our troubles will find release
With a friend or two,
There's friendly trust in the clasp
ing hand
On native soil or in alien land;
The world is made-can't YOU under
stand,
OF friend or two.
A little laughter, perhaps some tears,
With a friend or two,
The days, the weeks, the months, the
years,
A vale to cross, hill to climb,
A mock at age-a jeer at time,
The prose of life takes the lit of
rhyme
With friend or two.
Let's fill the goblet and quaff the
toast,
With friend or two,
Proud is the man who can honestly
boast
OF friend or two.
The blithest tread is friendly
pace
And heaven-'twill be better
place
With friend or two.

Her Objection

Cured to the small hostess that some
thing to eat would be an agreeable
novelty.
The mother demurred and the faith
er emphatically objected. The dis
cussion ended when a modest supply
of food was carried to the bedroom.
The next night the little maid call
ed her mother to the bedside.
"Stoop down, mamma" she said
Then she added, in a loud whisper,
"Im hungry, and want something to
eat, but ! don't want it in the same
spirit you showed last night"

Strict Neutrality

Little Betty was in the habit of
Playing for her naughty playmate
Tommy. One evening she omitted to
mention him. Asked by her mother
why she did so, the child replied: He
was howwid to me today. He frew
mud in my face. So | won't ask God
To bless him."
Her mother tucked her bed, and
then went into the next room, leav-
inc the door open.
She heard Betty toss restlessly
about for five or ten minutes. Then
there was a sniffe; then a sound of
getting up, and finally, furtive
voice Please, God, you en- bless
Tommy if you want to-but you
needn't do it on my account"

Unseen Spirits


The shadows lay along Broadway
Twas near the twilight tide
And slowly there lady fair
Was walking in her pride.
Alone walked she; but viewlessly
Walked spirits at her side.
Peace charmed the street beneath her
feet,
And all stir looked kind on her,
And called her good and fair;
For all God ever gave to her
She kept with chary care.
She kept with care her beauties rare
From lovers warm and true;
For her heart was cold to all but gold,
And the rich came not to WOO
But honored well are charms to sell
If priests the selling do.
Now walking there was one more
fair
A slight girl, lily-pale;
And she had unseen company
To make the spirit quail
'Twixt Want and Scorn she walked
forlorn,
And nothing could avail.
No mercy now can clear her brow
For this worlds peace to pray;
For as loves wild prayer dissolved in
air,
Her woman's heart gave way;
But the sin forgiven by Christ In
| Heaven
| By man is cursed Away
