products of the country. The follow
ing is a copy OF the instructions he
gave me:
Place the beans in a tight bin or
box, put some carbon s~ulphide in a
saucer on top Of the beans, cover
tightly; keep fire and lights away.
The sulphide will evaporate and the
gas will penetrate the mass of beans;
the gas is HEAVIER than the air and will
settle to the bottom of the bin. This
can be used for wheat, dried fruit, etc.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPU0
JEANETTE
BY Farmer Smith

Billy didn't quite know where the voies
came from-he had TO look twice then he
saw the most beautiful little girl he hsd
ever seen
You dear kind Billy" she said a. she
came and put her arms around his neck and
hugGed him.
q don't know where we would have been
had II not been for you and your Kindness
in buttng down the door" tfa
1T must be Jeanette" the child rider,
thought Billy, peeklng out of one eye ct
her. He had seen her many times In the
circus but had never been so near her be-
fore.
II was but the work Of few hours b.
fore the circus train was once more on the
track and the signal was given 10 start
him bach into the sleeping car. The ring
master started TO count noses N
Some one was gone!
II was little Jeanette. The ringmastsy
discovered the fact when he asked her
parents how long she had been missing.
The train did not start and 30 Billy
Bumpus got out and started to walk
around. He knew something was the
matter
BY and by he got tired and etill no one
seemed to be ready TO 20.
Guess I'll slip under the train and eat
bolt when no one is looking" thought
Billy TO himself
No sooner had he gotten under the train
than he discovered Jeanette lying on the
track fast asleep.
Horrors" thought Billy to himself 10
he took her dress In his teeth and pulled her
70 safety.
a wild cry went up when the train crew
| saw jeanette pulled from underneath the
| train.
No one knew how she had gotten there: !:
| all they knew was that she had besn
| rescued by Billy Bumpus.
He was n hero once more
| The train started again. but as II had
been delayed It proceeded slowly.
BY and by It stopped and Billy walked
| out the door once more to see what was the
! matter. Right In front of him he saw the
| dearest, cutest little bar of iron he had
ever seen. II was between his car and the
next, but he reached over and nibbled It.
1t moved
He nibbed It some more and. strange
| to say, 1t moved some more and
Suddenly out came the coupling pin. But
how did Billy Bumpus know what It was?
How did he know II held his car to the
| next?
When the train started once more the
last car stood still Such a commotion
there was and all the while Jeanette was
rubbing Billy's head while he was nibblinS
at the coupling pin.
