 Miss Mary Ogilvie Douglas. whose violin playing always delights her audience was never heard to better ad . vantage. She played the first move ment of the Brahms A Major Sonata and a group of effective numbers by Fibich, Cui and Wieniawsl<i.

 Saturday evening the club parlors were the scene of a. lovely reception rendered several of the captains and cadets of the Marion institute and a few of the young men from town by the senior class. The class was as sisted in receiving by Dr. and Mrs Paul " Bomar and Miss Kirtley. Quantities of golden hued chrysanthe- mums and ferns were used throughout the rooms, and the golden glow of the yellow lamps enhanced the beauty or the scene. The evening was spent in formally in progressive conversation Refreshments of yellow and blue cream and yellow cakes tied with blue rib- bons carried out the colors of the class.

All persons are educated who have so developed the powers and abilities that are within them. individually, that they | can each do well the things they under take to do.'
 Dr. William Hawley Smith says he gave this definition once to an audience,
 and it later elicited a. remark from one of his hearers which is worth recording. The night before he had spoken in an- other town some 250 miles away. As the trains then ran he had to make a night
 ride between the two towns. It was about
 midnight when he went down to board his train, and it happened when he alighted from the bus the engineer was just
 climbing down from his cab opposite him to oil up. Tn the engineer he recognized
 an old friend, an Irishman, who flashed
 his torch in his face and gave him
 hearty handshake for old-times sake. Put yer grip on the box and ride wid
 me- he said.
 And so Dr. Smith did as he was bid, put his grip on the front end of the seat on the firemans side of the cab, and rode with old Ne 150 miles that night. It was ride through wild and stormy darkness never to be forgotten. The wind was blowing and bowling out Of the nortn- west, and the snow had piled in huge drifts all over the track and surround ing country.
 It was a ponderous engine Mike drove, said Dr. Smith. The six drivers under her were each a full seven feet in diame- ter, and four revolutions of her wheels sent her nearly 100 feet along the track. Continuing in pr. Smiths worlds It
 was night express. There were Il cars behind us, carrying hundreds of men. women and children and thousands of
 dollars worth of merchandise. In the Pullmans scores of people were sleeping
 as safely as though they had been at
 home in their beds.
 And the way old Mike sat on that box
 and whirled that train along at the rate
 of 50 miles an hour almost took the doc tors breath away. That old engineer knew every rail- almost every railroad te Sometimes deep into a snowdrift filling. the snow-banked cut ahead he plunged, and after a minutes burial, out

, and the tempest-fury of the winds through it all old Mike sat with his hand on the lever, and without single false move, or the loss of a wink of sleep of
 a single passenger, he drove his train
 safely to it's destination, and then in a quiet unassuming way, entered his re- port of "on time" in the office. Says Dr. Smith: T watched him in the most tense moments of that run, and
 there was a radiance shining through the wrinkles of his old face that almost
 made the darkness light about him. His eye gleamed and spoke hundred things
 that tongue of man can never tell. His hand held the lever with a touch that was as delicate and as sensitive to what it was controlling as is the finger tip of the most skillful violinist to the vigra- tions of the string it presses down. I was in the presence of an artist in his line"
 I have related almost all of the story in the words of pr. Smith, and he con tinues by saying that the next night this old engineer came to hear him talk, and in his talk he gave the definition of an educated man which is given in the first paragraph of this article. After the audi
 ence was dismissed and had gone away, old Mike waited for the doctor at the door, and after a complimentary word or two, he said to him:
 'But I can bate you all out of the face in giving definition of an educated man.
 Said pr. Smith, Let it come.'' Whereupon he replied: "Why, don't you
 know that any man is an iducated man when he's on to his job,' I am leaving it for the reader to de- termine the worth of old Miffe's definition
 and in the meantime will add pr. Smith S comment:
 Ministers are counted educated men, anywhere and everywhere. But did you ever see a clergyman who was not onto his job?' Were you ever forced to sit
 under the droppings of a sanctuary whose overflow was a total stranger tc the river of the water of life? Lawyers are counted as educated men Did you ever know a lawyer who was not onto his job?' If the empty pocket books that have been made void by in- competent counsel could set up a wall there would be noise.
 Doctors are coutned as educated men Did you ever see doctor who was not onto his job?' And if Dr. Smith an ] swered the question it would be to say;

DRESSING TURKEYS AND
 GEESE FOR FANCY MARKET
Preparations Required to Suit a Discriminating Trade-Fine Points to Be Observed and Some Domi- nant 'DOn'ts"
By MIRA KELSEY COX Esxperfenced PoultryvvOman

Only plump, well grown fowls can be converted into fancy-dressed stock. Fast ing. killing and chilling are of great eonseouence. We'll dressed turkeys can be ruined by careless handling. Turkeys are dry-picked, geese scalded. An un- derstanding of the stages of feathering aids good goose dressing. Snug packing of perfectly cold fowls insures perfect condition.
 Fancy dressed poultry is not fad but a practical reality. Careless dress in is an actual waste. The fetish or the ordinary raiser is "how to raise rather than "how to market" Of such are the dsgruntled ones who mourn fully wonder why their poultry failed to return highest quotations.
 Whether one sends directly to the com mission man, sells to local shipper, or collects stock to furnish a stipulated de- mand, special attention to the appear ance of dressed poultry certainly en- hances it's worth.
 THREE GARAGES OF DRESSING
 Three essentials embracing condition, temperament, and treatment contribute to a fancy dressed fowl. To begin with, it must be shapely, plump. and reason- ably well developed. Skinny, gawky, .crooked breast turkeys and flat breasted geese are undesirable in any market. Minimum weight for turkeys should be 10 pounds for outlets, 12 pounds for gobblers and 14 pounds for geese. The Hebrew, who is particularly partial &o tho latter desires 1t fat as a but ter ball. The rendered surplus oil Is indispensable in his cuisine.
 The experienced raiser meets the specification of fat by sorting his flock. Discarded fowls are later forwarded to the large city markets. which accept them at good prices at any time during the season. Two killings are time eat CTS, but excuse themselves financially
 All dressed stock must be thoroughly chilled Veteran shippers recall that markets of 30 years ago demanded the removal of the viscera. Modern eff ciency declares that the undrawn turkey or goose from which all animal heat has been completely expelled is more sani' tary. Perfect chilling is absolutely requi site. All handling of slaughtered flow must cooperate with that aim. The day selected should be cold to expedite refrireration. This Is accomplished by hanging the fowls as soon as dressed 1T q shady, cool place. A shed or room with raised windows Is handy
 A precaution particularly helpful and necessary to preserving stock is atten ton to emptying the food-tract. Foot must be denied fowls long enough fol crop and intestines to be well emptiet otherwise keeping qualities are endan gered. An amateur who with true be-

 The evening gown illustrated shows an

Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes are bred throughout the world, and both are famous utility fowls but the Wyan- dottes seem to lead as table poultry. Their close, compact formation makes them valuable for the growing of broilers, roasters and smaller sized poultry. They mature quickly and are always plump and ready for the mar ket, and will produce a profitable num- Der of eggs throughout the year.
 Following the introduction of Buff Plymouth Rocks, Wyandotte breeders produced Buff Wyandottes. In some instances these were the offspring of Golden Wyandottes, Buff Cochins and White Wyandotte crosses. In others they were selected light -colored Rhode

On theoretical grounds, one electrical horse power per annum should bring about the fixaton of 14S4 pounds of nitrogen; in practice, an average of 705 pounds have been attained. On such basis, the Muscle Shoals development means the possibility of the fixation Of 45S, 25o, ,O00 pounds of nitrogen a year.
 During a portion of the year the river at Keokuk freezes and a plant located there would have idle periods; while the river at Muscle Shoals never freezes and a plant at that site could be operated continuously throughout the year.

Today it not only rivals the White Wyandotte for shape and type, but it equals the Buff Ply mouth Rock in color, and both of these in turn are better in color than the Buff Cochin, to which each is indebted for it's color. True golden buff is the accepted shade.
 The Buff Wyandotte has never at tained the immense popularity of it's white cousin although it possesses the same utility qualities. It deserves to be more widely bred and will give ex- cellent results

PACKING FOR SHIPMENT

Barrels are preferable to boxes for carving poultry, since they are tight' and easily procured, handled ana packed. The shipper first assures himsef that ms fowls are absolutely cold; aiso' ne has taken care that his shipment shall not encounter a halt on account of the Sab bath intervening or reach market on holiday. He has no infallible weather forecast and 1t is to his advantage to see that his poultry travels to US market in quickest possible time. All ralsers within a days freight of the best mar kets are advised to have their poultry in the hands of their merchants seven days hefore a holiday to avoid a belated arrival
 The shipper has two definite aims: To put as many in a barrel as possible, and to pack so firmly that no chafng takes place in transit. Straw tucked between the fowls makes good packing me- dium.
 A turkey with wings locked. head bent around upon the wing, and knees flexed occupies least space. Geese pack more easily because of their short legs. Wrap ping the heads with paper assists in pre- serving their looks.
 Conscientious shippers sort their fowls, putting poorly dressed, torn or deformed
 ones in separate barrel, so designated.
 This stimulates good treatment upon the part Of the merchants anu les sales
 The methods described in the foregoing paragraphs have been practiced for many | years in certain sections noted for their
 fine poultry, and are largely responsible for that reputation. There is really no
 reason why anyone so disposed may not
