Paris, Feb. 15.-That quotation from
James w. Gcrard's reply to the Ger
man hostage threat was all wrong.
Mr.. Gerard did not say he would
"sit here until kingdom come"
What he really said-and this comes
from an unassaiabic source, indeed
from one who heard him say 1t, was:
Then I'll stay here until hell
freezes over"
1t was this typically American an
swer, 1t now develops, given with an
earnestness that left no room for
doubt, that convinced Count Montge-
las, of the American department OF
the imperial German foreign office,
that Mr.. Gerard would "call" any
hand.
Wherefore Count Montgelas prompt
ly threw into the riscard his threat to
hold American newspapermen as host
ages if Gerard persisted in his re-
fusal to sign the amendment to the
treaty Of 1879, guaranteeing safe CON
duct to all German ships from Amer

This much, however is beyond any

must roll out of the shell the latter
part of next month. That means the
eggs must be in the incubator in
about two weeks. Remember you
can't depend on the sitting hen. She's
utterly irresponsible. She will sit just
when you do not desire chicks, and
will refuse to sit when you must have
chicks or fail in business. If you
want success in poultry culture "cut
out" the sitting hen. She is an un-
considerable nuisance. The down-to-
date incubator is your best hope. If
you haven't any, let your first busi-
ness be to get one. If you have never
used one, you have fine fun in store.
Just the experience with the first
hatch is worth the price of the ma
chine.
The breeders must be skillfully
handled now. The environment must
be as ideal as possible. They must be
kept in the pink of condition. Every
thing that they would get in May or
