PRAISE FOR THE MALlGNED
One Man, at Least, Who Has Use for
the Fellow Who Is Fond of
Telling His Troubles.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses
was standing in front Of the Harvard
club talking to three or four mem
bers.
by Jove." he said. 1T IS a common
saying that people should not go
around telling their troubles. but l
want to say that it's me for the man
with the troubles every 'ime. When
meet that sort and he pours out a
stream of hard-luck stories on to me
listen and try to cheer him up. but all
the ~ l feel rather good because
my luck isn't so hard as his, and
leave him feeling better than II
hadn't seen him.
"On the other hand. Just before l
Joined you chaps / was inside there
talking to a fellow who was class
mate of mine and after graduating
went to South America. He's been
down there IS years and has cleaned
up a million dollars in mines and Is
home now with the money to have a
good time.
HE was telling me about all the
things he had bought and was going
to buy, the trips he proposed taking
and all these other things that money
will get, and the splendid health he
had to enjoy everything until simply
couldn't stand it any longer and had to
get out. All / could think about while
he was taking was the hard work ]
had to do every day and the little
made out OF it. and | felt II | didn't get
to the open air I'd smother.

everybody. Of course, but I'D rather

to effect Joan's release. 1t was now
night. They worked by moonlight.
Plenty of food and water they then
placed in Joan's cage, making her in
every way comfortable for the night
with fresh grass for bedding and a
clod OF moss for a pillow.
AS for me, instead of taking me to
the hut, as l supposed they would, they
dashed me to Joan's cage. They first
tied my feet together at the ankles.
then chained me to one Of the ears q
Joans prison.
You seem to like my specimen IN
that cage well enough to take it away
from me" the old scientist said. laugh
ing his mad laugh. We'll, you shall
remain within sight Of that excellent
specimen till morning.
And so they left. l found l could
souirm around so as to look into Joan's
cage. She put her arms through her
bars and stroked my head tenderly,
saying:
poor John. What fate! If only
we had not taken such long rest at
that stream we would not now be here.
1t is all my fault 1t was l who in
duced you to rest there"
No, dear" said. they would
probably have found US anyway. They
know the forest better than We do.
And. mad though they are, still they
are cunning enough TO track down two
such tenderfeet as you and /"
shall We dine?" she asked, and she
smiled. a forlorn. hopeless sort OF
smile.
She thrust through the bars some
wild honey-using leaf as plate.
Ind then she gave me some berries
and a chunk OF meat. Lastly she
handed out her water jar from which
I drank. Thus we dined.
The night was beautiful The moon
light nads the scene Of rapturous de-
light to the senses. And yet-it all
seemed like a stage setdug-iike a
horrible nightmare.

SOLVING THE MEAT PROBLEM
eraI Agricultural lnterests-keep
All Breeding Cows.

If the government can take up the
statute, then the meat shortage is
solved, If not, we must aid and depend
upon the citizenship Of the nation. The
cattle must not be thought of as some
thing apart from. but considered rath-
er with the general agricultural inter-
ests Of the country.
Stock farming should be encouraged
everywhere. The calves and yearlings
will be needed at the silos and on the
farms and ranches.
There is no reason for antagonism
between the stockman and the farmer.
and when conditions admit of it, one
should be both, says a writer in Den
yer Field and Farm, They need the
same protective legislation for their
premises. for the health of their stock.
preservation of bird life and the de-
struction of predatory wild animals
We would advise every man who can
do so to hold his good breeding cows
off the market, because there is good
grass on the range. and roughness on
the farms going to waste while mil
lions OF people in the United States
will go without beef in the next ten
years.
The COW in the hands of the man
now able to hold her is the only source
of relief in sight and she will return
her owner a good profit.

Presently Joan regained conscious
ness-and slipped some waser-and
then put her face between the bars

your life. For they will keep you now

here in my own cage, And to live so

She understood. And-yes. l kissed
her square on the lips.
For two long years we remained
thus, cellmates, all but for those in
tercepting bars. Night and day we
would hold each others hands and
keep each other from going mad. BY
day we would tell each other stories OF
our past lives. BY night we would lie
close together by the bars, still hold
ing hands. Strangest wooing, strangest
love under the strangest conditions
ever man experienced
And so passed the two years-two
long years of torture.

old scientist and the black man quar-.

madmen came to blows. What If they

that the same thought was in Joan's

thought of what would happen to us
If those two madmen should destroy

Came then the great day when, al

tore frantically at the bars of my
cage, And what happened? To my
amazement and JOY | felt one of the
bars yielding to my tugging grasp.

SEVERAL USES FOR SPRAYER
Among Other Things 1t May Be Used
for Spraying Hen House With
Insecticides or Whitewash.

Sometimes the investment in a GER
tain article for use on the farm may
not seem worth while because the serv-
ice it can perform is limited tc
brief period during the year By he
exercise of little ingenuity, however,
an outfit supposed to serve a given
purpose can be turned to account in
other ways
Take a sprayer, for instance; it can
be used In many ways besides the
one for which it was made. Did
you ever try spraying the chicken
house with insecticides, or white
wash properly strained and thinned?
have found another use for the
sprayer that has added much to the
practical value of the outfit, says q
writer in Successful Farming. Wall
paper needs to be replaced from time
to time and 1t is unsanitary to place
a new paper on an old one. A spray
er is fine as a helper In removing
the old paper. Fill the tank half fun
OF hot water, then create enough air
pressure to produce a fine misty
spray. Apply this to the paper in two
applications, the first one Just enough
to damper the paper. If the water is
applied freely at first it will run down
too quickly from the surface of the
dry paper. But If it is first damp
ened the second application will re
quickly absorbed. The paper will then
peal off easily and the saving in time
and money ought to pay for an auto
spray and a good nozzle.

"Tbat night ! decided to take heroic
MEASURES to free myself from the old
man. In the dead OF night l arose,
dressed and began stealing softly out
Of the house. But suddenly, in the
darkness, strong arms seized me and
a horrible hand was clapped over my
mouth to keep me from screaming.
And out Of the hut and into the night
l was carried-and away from the vii
lage. Into the forest l vas dragged
and by now ! knew that was in the
clutches of the black man, Chacha,
while the old mailman followed us.
They tied me to tree in the for
est and the mailman said to his serv-
ant:
"Chacha, she was going to run away
tonight with a man. Do you hear?
She was going to elope with rascal
who would never let me see her again
But mo- l. you see, Chacha, am a man
OF action and resource and divination.

male of the species. Yes, / am de
termined that she shall never run off
With man. / shall keep her beauti-
fully secure-in a place where man
cannot release her to carry her away
from me. She is very dear to me,
Chacha; don't forget that-she is very
dear to me. We must take excellent
care of her forever and forever
Il slept-tied to the tree. When /
awoke | was alone But not for long.
FL Toro and Chacha returned with sew
eral burros and pack mules on which
were loaded all the household goods
which you yourself saw at the old
mans hut
And now they released me and
dragged me through the forest. For
days we marched on and on, ever
farther into the interior, till at last
they reached the clearing where the
hut and cages now stand.
That we had every convenience in
the way Of utensils for cooking and
working, and so on, you already know
All those useful things we're brought
on the backs of the burros and mules,
which Chacha later took back to the
village. They built the hut first. Then
they built the cage in which you found
me You did not see-but at the back
OF the cage the old man constructed
wooden pit. This pit served as
Funken bath. They would fill it daily
with water for me to battle and refresh
myself And the old man supplied me
with combs and brushes and all toilet
conVeniences-and-oh, yes, he took
excellent care Of his specimen just
as he had promised.
In time they built more cages. I
wondered what for. And soon I learned
mat these new cages were for wild
beasts. They dug a pit in the forest
put a rope net in it and then covered
up the pit with leaves and limbs of
saphngs and twigs and grass. And the
leopard and lion and all the other ami
mas which you saw in the cages fell
INTO the pit and thus were taken alive
and put into the cages.
