Don't Keen Scrub Poultry.

The successful poultry breeder
whether he breeds for market or
for fancy purposes, keeps purebred
fowls is proud Of them. He takes
delight in caring for them and
grows familiar with their needs. He
succeeds 80 well because he has
become a real poultry fancier to
the extent that he has conceived a
liking for his stock beyond its IN
trlnsic value as maker of dollars
for him. Ills enthusiasm leads him
to give his fowls the best of care
and attention, and as a result his
busine So grows Tremendously. Such
poultry breeders iuduct into the
miads of others some of their own
earnestnt So OF purpose and create
an intere: in poultry raising among
them. This is Que OF the causes of
the increased demand for pure
bred poultry.
If you visit the owner of a flock
of m 'ngiel fowls # many colors,
shapes and sizes you will find a
| man who is not enthusiastic about
the poultry business. It will serve
as an illustration Of the fact that
the scrub fowl cannot arouse per-
manent and abiding inteIes.

Didn't DISCHARGE Him.

In the financial district they tell
story of bank that was in difficulties
several years ago and how the clearing
house happened to learn of the situa-
ton. One Of the big national banks
was clearing for u certain other bank
that was in trouble and every day the
president of the clearing house bank
would certify 100000 worth of
checks for the other. Finally the pay
ing teller called the attention to the
fact that he was taking mighty long
chance. but the president paid no at
tention to the hint Then the teller in
formed the clearing house OF the situa-
ton. and the president was called to
look. Did my paying teller tell you
you that:" demanded the president
He did" replied the chairman Of the

Round ShouTdered Bows.

Head up. ctiin III. chest out and

One can scarcely think OF a round
shouldered scout. Yet there are such
among the boys who desire to be
scouts.
There Is no particular exercise that
q boy can take to cure round Shout
ders. The thing to remember is that
all exercise that is taken should be
done in the erect position, then the
muscles will hold the body there.
An erect body means deeper chest
room for the important organs to
work and thus affords them the best
chance to act.

In the erect position will help greatly

Beiqium's Postmen.

A Belgian who has money owing to
him often hands the account to his
postman. who passes it through the of
fee, to be presented to the debtor in
whatever locality the latter may re-
side. and if payment be made the
creditor receives 1t from his postman
on the following day. with but a tri-
fling deduction for commission.
AS to newspapers, almost all regular
subscribers to journal pay their
money to a postman, and two or three
days before the subscription expires
that official presents the notice for the
renewal Of the subscription during q
fresh term.
All this makes of the Belgian post
man a kind of ambulating general

in front of him and to carry a locked
and chained portfolio under his arm
