THE FAITHFUL WHEEL HOE

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee.)
The wheel hoe is to the garden what
the sewing machine is to the house;
it will not do away with hand labor,
but it will save sight of it.
In small gardens, or where the rows
are too short to use a horse-cultivator
proftably, the wheel hoe is a great
labor saver. And the kinds that have
big wheels work the best One may
almost pillow the garden with a wheel
hoe. In loamy gardens that have been
well MANFRED from year to year
wheel hoe is really means of grace.
For even the man who loves exercise
and is skillful with the hand hoe will
welcome device that saves backache
as well as time and labor

Nashville, the chairman of the cleo

seeking to recall Commissioner Paul

has been on hand and pressed for quite
while. 1t has the ear marks of being
a political move rather than for a

CONGRESS TO ADJOURN

The news from Washington is that
the leaders in Congress are busy on a
plan to have adjournment of the ses-

is meeting with the supnort of both
Democrats and Republicans.

friends of Congressman Houston.

Claiborne county, of this State, had
a cloud burst last week that wrought
devastation in its path. These things
are attributed, largely, to deforesta-

things may be expected to occur more
frequently in the future.

This Really Happened.

Not one woman in a dozen will be-
lieve this story, although it Is true.
Every other week Bill Smith can prove
1t by rolling up his left pants leg. The
alternate week the proof is In the
laundry basket.
Bill works in a shop where a man
must have forearms. He has solved
the underwear-sleeve problem by hav-
ing them cut OF above the elbow.
The other day he bought new union
suits, and showed Mrs. Smith on one
arm how much he wanted cut off. The
next Sunday morning he donned the
suit and found she had cut off the
right arm and left leg. He apprised
Mrs. Smith, but she retorted such a
blunder was impossible"
But Bill had the proof, and he still
has it; for on the union suit there is a
seam around the left leg just below
the knee, where the cutoff has been
put back.
Bill says: "As we sew we rip, and
if we snip, inadvisedly, it's best to sew
it on again"

American Hardware the Best

manufacturers can compete with all

BILE and experienced representatives,
whose duty 1t should be to demonstrate

superiority of their tools. A shortage
of hardware supplies exists all over
the world. Wherever people SOW and

SLEEPING IN QUEER PLACES
EngIishman Chooses Narrow Plank
100 Feet Above the Ground
for a Siesta.

A short time ago a man was dis
covered in the lunch hour fast asleep
on a plank. His arms were hanging
down, one on each side of the board
which was about foot wide. He was
snoring gloriously, and quite careless
of the fasat that If he turned over for
greater comfort he would tumble out
of bed" 120 feet, for that plank was
part of the scaffolding erected for the
repair of a church spire.
similar disregard for danger was
reported lately during the erection of
an electrical plant. One of the men,
engaged on the tall chimney, missing
his mate at the lunch hour, went up
the half-finished chimney to find him.
He discovered him fast asleep on a
narrow ledge of brick inside the shaft,
fall from which meant drop of 80
feet
The other week a circus arrived In
certain town, not a hundred miles
from London, at an early hour after
long journey and a performance the
previous night. AS consequence few
of the company got any sleep. That
day there was the usual procession and
the afternoon performance. The lion
tanner had had a very rough time be-
cause of the illness of one of his
beasts.
The evening performance arrived,
and the man had to pretend to go to
sleep with his head on the body of a
couchant lion, finishing up the per-
Torrance by springing up and put
ting his head In another lions mouth.
But when the jumping-up time came
gentle snore was heard. The man
was fast asleep with his head pillowed
on a lion.

Once-Overs.

The wife who is plainly dressed and
does not have the luxuries you en-
joy is not necessarily unhappy, and
she may be getting much more out of
life than you are getting.
1t may be that she and her husband
are laying up money for their old
age, while you and your husband are
spending all you earn.
When the time comes that you
should be taking comfort and be free
from worry, you may find yourself
worried because of your scanty saw
ings, while the woman you pity to-
day may then be secure in the
thought That she has enough to sup
port her to the end of her days.
So do not waste your pity on the
woman who is so plainly dressed.
She may have more sense than you
ut the present time and more COM
fort in the years to come.

his own strength was gone. This was
the end. He smiled grimly to himself.

A shout reached him. As the dark
swift-moving line OF his pursuers broke
out from the lingering shadows he
turned. Two horsemen raced toward

Their heads were lowered. There was

Colonel Destinn had ridden out of Sidi-

The air is exhilarating as cham
payne; though the heat in summer
time is very great during the noontide
hours, at shutdown a refreshingly cool
breeze invariably springs up and
heavy dew begins to fall. 1t is a most
delightful experience to roam then
through the beautiful forest, listen
ing to the tinkle of the bells as the
herds of sheep, cattle, pigs buffaloes
wander down the magnificent aisles-
to the flute of the shepherd and the
horn of the guardian Of the swine
Equally pleasing 1t Is, during the heat
of the day, to spend long hours of
dolce far niente on a springy bed of
wild thyme by the side of brawling
streamlet-I may add that for the in
veterate angler it is an even more en-
joyable experience to extract from Its
dark pools and alluring stickles many
lusty trout. For almost all of these
forest "bufns" abound In fish-not
very large, 1t is true, but vigorous
fighters, giving excellent sport.
Big Landowners the Rule.
There are very few tenant farmers
in the country; immensely big land
owners are the rule and these, with
the aid of host of bailiffs, manage
their own estates. They devote each
, farm to some special object; one, for
instance. is the OK farm, another the
sheep farm, third Is set aside for
for poultry, another for pigs, and yet
another is the dairy farm.
1t is, by the way, rather a curious
| fact that cows milk is despised by all,
rich man and peasant alike. 1t is
looked upon as only At for pigs and
calves, or to be mixed with other milk
in the making Of cheese. Only buffalo
milk is considered at for human con-
SUMPTION this is, however, to an Eng
fish palate, far too rich, both In quail
ity and flavor.

Pennsylvania is the gypsy quarter

Tzigany is never allowed to dwell
among the villagers or to mix with
them on equal terms. He Is the basket
maker, occasionally the brickmaker,
of the neighborhood-bu always and
everywhere he is the music-mnker. The
gypsies are the orchestra Of every
town and village, at every fiesta they
play untiringly, hour after hour, while.
the peasants dance. Men and women
alike are lowered with the gift of mu-
sic and the wild Czardas crashed out
by a Tzigany band makes even the
cool blood of Northerner tingle In his
veins.
But fiddling is not the gypsy's only
accomplishment; he is also most ex-
pert thief. In fact legend of the
country says that when a Tzigany
baby makes its entrance into this vale
of tears 1t is laid on its back upon the

GENERAL AGENT VISIT
 IN TOWN FOR FEW HOURS

MT. F. F. w. Lowle, general agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway for Alaska and the Yukon Territory was a local visitor in Ketchikan for short time, arriving on the City of Seattle last night and reutrnig to Juneau on the Jefferson this morning.
 MT Lowle has just completed the opening of a modern up-to-date city ticket office in Juneau, which will also be his headquarters in his capacity as general agent. He reports a splendid business over the Canadian Pacific, both boat and rail lines, and says that as people are learning that they can now make complete arrangements and purchase their tickets and sleeping car accommodations in Alaska, with out waiting to reach the cities on the Sound that they are taking advantage of it.
 MT. Lowle will leave the early part of the week for the Yukon and lower river points on an extended trip in the interests he represents. He eX- poets to be in Ketchikan again later in the year, but in the meantime he states that the local office of the Can adian Pacific has been provided with tariffs and full information for those contemplating a trip east, which in formation will be gladly supplied to all inquirers.

VERY LITTLE FISH COMING IN.

Contrary to the Icy otraights report, tl cannerymen hereabouts are not receiving fish in large quantities yet. According to one of the local cannery- men. while his company has a few thousand cases put up, the fish cannot be said to be running much. At the Smiley cannery at Charcoal Point, MT. A. w. Hawkins, accountant for the company, who was in town this morn ing reports that some fifteen thous- and cases have been put up thus far, but expects a big run shortly.
