When Ingenuity Takes Place Of Money.

When Ingenuity Takes Place Of Money.
The girl had no writing desk in her
room and no money to buy the ex-
Quisite mahogany one for which she
yearned. But she had ingenuity and
she had determination and she made
up her mind that somehow she
must repair this lack. She did
so by buying q kitchen table.
q small one. for the large sum Of SO
cents. She painted the legs of this
white, covered the top of 1t with green
denim. placed q fascinating blotter
framed in cretonne and some pretty
brass desk things on 1t and the desk
was finished. Then she had two book
shelves fassened on the wall above it.
On these sic placed bronze bust Of
Dante and some Of her favorite vol.
umes, and 10, at q trifling expense had
made a very pretty and convenient
corner for her den.

GET MORE VIGOROUS HORSES
Stallion Should Be In Good Physical
Condition Before Beginning Of
Breeding Season.

A stallion that is not fit to work IL
not fit to sire work horses, is the opin.
ion of ]. s. Montgomery of the animal
husbandry division of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture. The horse
should be in good physician condition
before the beginning of the breeding
season." he says. "Plenty Of exercise
should be provided. II 1t is impossible
to work the horse. a large paddock
should be arranged where he may play
in all kinds of weather.
"A clean. roomy, light and well-ven-
tilated boxstall should be used for him.

When tails are taken from late
lambs, the stub should be well girdled
with pine tar to prevent the work Of

A pretty young thing entered re-

she evidently knew, lisped timidly:

shoes you sent on approval for me. I

heels, but the dear old lady across the
street. who was calling when they
came. fell in love with them at once,
declaring they would just fit her and

A New York woman. fair, fat and
forty, was making the rounds of the
shops in search of street costume for
her twenty-year-old daughter, whose
betrothal had just been announced in
the papers. At last she came upon a
stunning creation that took her eye
on sight. That would hardly suit

come far enough below the knees, and
she's so old-fashioned and finicky about
the length of her dresses. But could

all the Stars have to say.
AT this Banquet they had two very,

they were that they could have two
such fine personages at their banquet.

was enough of an honor.

night-usually some are of on trips

fire every Star is ready to give all the
light 1t can.
And then the Milky Way helps
along the Bonfire, too. and when all
the fires or lights are sparkling and
burning very, very brightly. then their
first noted guest of the Banquet ar
rived.
1T was the Moon King. Now, when
the Old Man in the Moon wears his
robes Of silver-gray and around his
head golden crown, then he calls him
self the Moon King. 1t is only when
he is going to . splendid Banquet
that he does that, as usually he en-
joys being the Old Man in the Moon
much more.
And the Moon King looked very
bright and dazzling and handsome. He
didn't grin as much as he usually
does-but looked very solemn and as
he thought King ought to look.
Then the Banquet began. They all
sat at a long table along the Milky
Way and the Fairies, dressed In
golden wands and crowns, arrived
Just as the Banquet was commencing.
They came up in their chariots of
clouds which were driven by four
bright Stars. They looked so bright
that real people could never have
looked at them at all.
After the Banquet had lasted some
time their other fine guest arrived
but their first noted guest left before
hand, for the two noted guests didn't
get along so well together.
Away hurried the Moon King, and
in his place came Prince Red Sun.
