DO You HAVE HAY FEVER?
Then Doubtless You Suffer Also From
the Solicitors Friend-cures
by Hearsay.

friends are never at loss for a mer-
ry laugh or jocund remark about
my appearance. l am not a proud
man. but | have sensibilities. there
fore have personal interest in all
alleged hay fever reliefs.
But hay fever cures always come
secondhand = by hearsay. Someone
snuggles up to you and says: "Oh. do
you have hay fever?' Ito which the
Goldbergian answer would be, mo, l
paint my nose and eyes red every day
to brighten the gypsy moths away")
and then, with an air of purveying
diplomatic secrets they confde that
they nave "a friend who used to have
hay fever, oh, terribly; couldn't
breathe, and all that sort of thing,
you know; and someone told him of
this kind of powder arrangement
which you snuff up your nose and then
hold your head under water for a
minute or two, and, do you know, he's
never had touch of hay fever since
he tried it." And if you'd like, they'll
ask their friend where to send for it,
and they take your telephone number
so that they can let you know all
about it. Only If you are hardened to
the type, you give them the number
of the ZOO, or the aquarium, or some
thing impersonal like that, for the
chances are that when they do call
you up it will be to suggest an addi-
ton to your life insurance policy.
It's mighty funny that you never
run across the original friend in the
first place. No one ever steps right
up to you like man says in so many
words, This has cured me of hay
fever" pointing the while at a clearly
labeled bottle.

SNOWFALL WINS NINA KITTEN.


Snowfall. Puff and Kit were doing
in the sun-that is, Kit and Snowfall
were. Every once in a while Puff
would open one eye and look at Kit
and Snowfall to see if they we're
asleep.
By and by he crept very carefully
out of the barn and went down the
road. SNOWFALL opened his eyes just
in time to see him go through the gate
way.
Where is Puff going?" he asked
Kit. Il have noticed lately that he
runs down the road very often and
he does not ask either of US to go
with him"
Kit licked his paws before he an
swered, and then he looked at Snow
ball. with your knowledge of the
world he said, 81 should think you
would know where he goes, and why
He is in love. Have you not noticed
how he sits around and dreams? He
never runs about with us any more"
Yes said Snowfall. 81 have no
ticed that, but l thought it was be-
cause he was so tired; he is out so
late at night hunting rats
Rats said Kit; che isn't hunting
rats; he is out walking with Gray
Tables daughter, Nina. They sit on
the fence and talk and look ait the
moon all night. That is the reason
he sleeps so much days"

ball. 81 never thought of love af-
fair. Well, Nina is a very sleek-look-
ing kitten" he said; very sleek, in
deed"
1t was some time after Snowfall
learned of Puff's love affair that he
was walking down the road one after
noon and heard a dog barking. The
dog was dancing around tree and
seemed to be barking at something in
the tree. On the fence sat Nina Kit
tea with her back bumped up and
Looking very fierce, but the dog did
not look at her
SNOWFALL hurried to the tree, for he
half suspected what had happened,
and there sat Puff on a limb looking
very much frightened. Snowfall flew
at the dog and drove him away, for all
the dogs in the neighborhood stood in
fear of him. Then he jumped to the
fence beside Nina Kitten.
Miss Nina" he said, very sweetly
come with me; I'll see you safely
home"
Nina Kitten hung her head and
looked very shy. Then she smiled and
said: "Oh. thank you so much, Mr..
SNOWFALL, l was so frightened"
Snowfall helped her to the ground
and then he said: at is such lovely
day. don't you think we might hunt
for catnip? l can assure you that no
dog will modest you while l am here"
Nina Kitten said she should feel
quite safe anywhere with Snowfall,
and off they walked leaving poor Puff

Poetry and Noses.

1 have read that no poem was ever
written to nose. Can you, offhand,
recall single rapturous or even ad-
miring description of one? l search
my memory in vain, but produce in
stead one instance that has always in
terested me by its neglect. You recall
that little poem of Browning's, "A
Face" the brief and charming descrip-
ton of a girls profile against a back
ground of gold. The "matchless mold"
of softly parted lips, the neck three
fingers might surround" and the
'fruit-shaped perfect chin" all receive
their due of praise; the nose, a seem
ing necessity in any profile, is not
even mentioned. 1t may be as well;
each reader supplies, in the lovely
face, the line that suits him best. The
poet may have feared that by it's mere
mention he would produce the effect
too often given by the nose in real
life-a heaviness that mars an other
wise charming face.-Atlantic Month

Curious Indian Game Traps.

The discovery of the manner i'll
which the prehistoric Indians of the
southwest obtained their meat supply
was made recently by Washington
scientists during an investigation
around the plateau of the Pajarika
park, near Santa Fe, where a number
of game traps were found.
1t is believed that the discovery of
these traps indicates that the south
western Indian of prehistoric times
was far more intelligent than his
brother of the North.
The traps are holes cut in lava rock
at places where the poisonous gases
make their way through to the sur
face They are ingeniously arranged
to suggest a cavern in which an ami
NAL may hide.
Animals running from their foes see
one of these traps and dive into it.
Almost instantly they are suffocated
by the gas This manner of death
does not destroy their value as food.

GET RID OF WORMS IN HOGS
Salt, Coal, copperas and Sulphur Are
Beneficial If Given to Animals
in Proper Amount.

Every hog raiser has more or less
trouble in keeping his herd free from
worms. Salt, coal, copperas and sui
phur are beneficial if properly fed.
About half pound of copperas to a
hundred pounds of slack coal makes
a good mixture. If they have never
eaten coal in any great quantity, care
must be taken in feeding it because
they may eat too much. 1t is a good
plan to give the hogs about all they
will eat up clean. This can be done
twice week. increasing the amount
at each time. and when they become
accustomed to this feed it can be given
more regularly, until in short time
it will be safe to let them eat as much
as they want.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Tweiye
years ago farewell dinner was
given in the old Lambs Club in
Thirty sixth street for man who
was going West to die. The guest at
this strange dinner sat at the end of
the table very pale and thin, but
cheerful and jocose. But the hard,
racking cough rose ever deep in his
chest.
The strange guests name was Nc
Kenzie Gordon. Among the guests
We're Wilton Lackaye, Tom Oberly
and Pete Daley, with the eyerlast-
ing JUNCTION. Gordon was popular
singer and often sang at the White
House in Cleveland's day. a.

getic man Of forty walked in the
lobby of the Empire theater. No one
seemed to know him. Several nights
later he went to the Beaux Arte for
dinner. OF one. table was party

My God, Gordon!" said one. II
have just been telling these fellows
of your death. The robust. ener-
geuc man was Gordon. He has re-
turned completely well after twelve
years camp in desert near Phoenix.
In the autumn woods, up above the
Hudson, the lifeless bodies Of Kathia
Landress and Yarsha Liberoff were
found-a double suicide The young
couple had handed back to life their
unscarred arms-their winged caps
and sandals-their opportunity to
live and love.
Kathia Landress was 10 years old
and Russian Jewess who had writ
ten poems that sowed promise. Var
sha Lieberoff was 10 and a Russian
Jew. He was a writer on the Rus
sian paper. Novy Mir, which means
New World. Both came across the
ocean to America some two years
ago. Now they have slipped off to-
gether into the ocean of eternity.
1t was little story Of impatience
and distrust, commonplace of city
life. Lieberoff was disguised with
the world and wanted to pass on, His
