expressions of appreciation for the
service of the company were made by
those who were thus enabled to re-

hours.
The first precinct to be heard from
was that of Gambler which came IN

Household Freight-eayer Tells His
Better Half Of Fairy Tale Related
by Grandmother.

The tea things had been cleared
away and the household freight-payer
was trying to read the evening paper
: while his better half busted herself
with some fancy work. and at the
same time cndeavored to interest him
in the neighborhood gossip.
"%Cordelia." said he. glancing up from
his paper, did you eve hear the story
of the precious gemS?"
why. no." she replied. What is
it,"
IT'S an old fairy legend that my
grandmother told me when | was a

from whose lips there fell either a dia-
monl or a ruby every time she spoke

he replied. But | was just thinking If
such things happened nowadays Id
open a wholesale jewclry store the

Then for thirteen consecutive sec.

PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS
Haphazard Method Will Never Get the
Results That Are to Be
Desired.

Avoid haphaZard planting Of trees
and shrubs. Many planters make the
mistake Of thinking that the chief
thing is to get certain trees or shurbs
on to the lawn. This is a great mis-.
take, ever at the first. and the mis-.
take grows more apparent as the years
go by and the different things become
of various sizes till there is a Yer.
table chaos in the arrangement. with
little and big things intermingled.
The house should have an absolutely
clear lawn in front of it except in
cases where native trees have been
left in the clearing away Of the ar
horeal growths. The fact that such
trees are already in existence when
the house was built is often a reason
for keeping them. But when the
builder has a clear field in the first no
tree should be allowed to stand in
front Of the house. The desire should
be to produce a picture. with he trees
and shrubs arranged along the sides
of the lawn. with the tallest growing
trees and shrubs farthest back. Such
an arrangement greatly increases the
appearance of sp%aciousness. for the
eve naturally uses the things nearest
as a measure of distances. This is OF
Importance when the area that can be
devoted to ornamentation is rather
limited.

WINTER CARE OF THE SHEEP
Fleece Of Good Quality Cannot Be Sc
cured From Half-Starved Animal
Give Sueculent Food.

II the sheep are neglected and al
lowed to run down in flesh when the
winter sets in the fleece will be in
iured in both weight and quality.
A fleece of good quality cannot be-
grown m a poor half-starved sheep.
If the ewes are allowed to get poor
during the winter the chances are that
the lambs will be weak anl will per-
ish for lack Of Luurishrient and from
cold. while the lambs from 4 we'll
cared for eve will be much ADLER to
stand the Geld if they sh ,uld happen
to be dropped when the weather is
cold.
The dams will have rcre milk for
their young, too, if they are well cared
for.
Sheep need some succulent food dur
ing the winter. They should have
some rough feed such as cora slower
or clover hay. and. above all. they
should have a ration rich in both pro-
TEN and mineral matter.

Oeep.Sea Divino Hard Work,

YES. sir; it seems simple enough
to put on a diving dress and go down
into the sea. but | can assure you
that it is not quite so easy as 1t
looks" said a deep.sea diver. The
farther ones goes down below the wa
ter, the greater the pressure. and. con-
seQuently. the labor and exhaustion Of
working is greater. You would prob
ably find 70 feet quite deep enough
for your first dive. The pressure on
your head would be so great that.
not being used to it. your ears and
nos might bleed. In diving the rate
of ascent is important. Ii the diver
is less than so feet below the surface
he can be pulled up two feet a second
with safety; for greater depths the
rate Of ascent must be slower"

Putt,no a Kick in Cider,

Farmers in a western section Of the
country have found a way to beat"
the local option laws. Thousands of
gallons of cider were made in that sec
ton last fall. and the farmers have
discovered that by running it through
a cream separator the water is en-
tracted. leaving little but the pure al
cohol remaining.
Its got an awful kick declared
one farmer. who allowed his barrel Of
cider to sit in the warm November
sun for two weeks before giving It the
cream separator test.
Since his discovery others are filling
their cellars with jugs of the extracted
Juice to tide EN- yer the winter

An electric furnace for the heat
treatment Of steel used in automobile
construction has been introduced. Its
method of producing uniform. depend
able heat that is so urgently sought
by automobile manufacturers is quite
novel in electric furnace practice. al.
though its principle is comparable to
that OF the well.known Nernst lamp.
Both the floor and the domelike GOV.
ers of this furnace are of a refractory
material which is practically noncon-
Quoting at ordinary temperatures. To
start the furnace. a current is passed
through a bed of coke laid on its floor.
On being sufficiently heated the floor
becomes a conductor and in turn heats
the walls and top, rendering them
conductive. until finally the entire fur
mace becomes incandescent. 1t is
stated by those who have tried the
furnace that its use in the heat treat
ment of automobile parts promises TO
be extensive in the future.

AUTHOR NOT WISELY GUIDED
Book May Have oeplorabIe Effect on
Humanity, in the Possible Passing
of the Fat Man.

An American author who has made
a name for himself in American letters
threatens to nullify his good work by
standing sponsor for a volume entitled
Eat and Grow Thin" In this book
he liberalizes to the proportions OF
an epicurean dream the food a fat
person may indulge in and yet melt
his TOO. too, solid flesh" Fat men
there are, Of course. no fat women
who have adopted the generous
Thompson regimen assert that they
are steadily decreasing in a%voirdupois
and yet are enjoying bountiful repasts.
1t is to weep.
The fat man is the delight OF the
world. This is universally conceded.
The fat man is a philosopher, despite
by inference, in his expressed desire
to have about him fat, sleek-headed
men," complaining that the lean and
hungry Cassius thinks too much The
fat man exudes a joyous, %unctuous OPP
timism that inspires and cheers all
about him. He thinks, however, that
he would prefer to be thin. not really
ing the origin of his blessings. The
only thing that has prevented his be-
coming thin is the fact that most sys.
tens Of diet require a sort of starva.
tion-and his %provender is more dear
70 him than a sylph-like form.
But now that he may eat luxurious.
ly and grow thin he is likely to desert
the society that has profited by his
beneticent spirit and become skinny,
unimpressive and pessimistic. Then
in time Of stress and trial thin, wor.
ried people will have no billowy Shout
der upon which to weep. no fat phi.
losopher to encourage. sustain and
soothe. In time of trouble a fat
friend is in the shadow OF a great rock
in a weary land. He is a fortress
against the sings and arrows of out
rageous fortune-though Falstaff. fat
and scant Of breath. strangely failed to
take advantage of his obesity.
One trembles to think what the
world will be when the fat man be-
m extinct. Yet the facts must be
faced in all their horrors. When the
fat mar has grown lean this will be
a waste and desert world. given over
to bony cynics who will howl in the
high places and preach the gospel OF
despair. Therefore. the rash author
is entreated to take his baleful book
off the market.-Chicago News.
