"And L am shaking my paw at YOU"
said Gyp. 81 would like to play with
you just as much as you would like to
play with me-"
"Good-good-good," barked Pat.
And Gyp danced around very hap
PLY. They were both young dogs and
they loved to play and frisk about.
1t was snowy day, and the snow
was soft and light. Gyp and Pat were
both white fox terriers; Pat had one
black spot on his back, and Gyp had a
snow they looked almost as white as
the snow did.
Lets play snowballs," said Pat.
"Do you mean throw snowballsT
said Gyp.
''That's just what I mean," said Pat.
SO they began lifting the soft snow
with their paws and throwing it at
each other. Such fun as they had !
They frolicked in the snow, and they
put their heads right into the snow
banks.
Then they would take turns in play
Ing Dead Dog and one would lie down
while the other covered him up with
a little snow.
Then he would stay quite still until
the dog who had covered him up would
bark,
"Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
"We're all through playing that you
are dead"
With bound they'd both start play
Ing and frisking in the snow again.

little girls came walking by. They
were both carrying books and pencil
boxes, for they had been to school.
There's Pat" said the little girl,
named Helen.
And there's my Gyp," said the sec
Ond little girl, whose name was Doro-
thy.
How did they ever happen to be
together l wonder?" asked Helen.
For while Helen and Dorothy were
the very best of friends, and their
dogs loved to play with each other,
still they lived quite far apart. They
didn't usually go to each others homes
unless Dorothy and Helen were going
to play together.
"Well," said Helen, II say Wen have a
tea party. I'm sure mother will be
willing. She said / could ask you

"All right" said Dorothy, I'D love

"And of course the Dogs will play

POULTRY POINTERS

Sudden fright and excitement at
once tells on the egg crop. Never
allow strange dogs about where the
hens are.
Don't relax the care of the chicks.
They will become inactive and dis
eased.
Market the broilers and all the roost-
ers that you don't want to keep for
breeding purposes.
Uniform products command the best
prices. Purebred fowls produce uni
form products.
When selling the eggs to the coun-
try merchant or cash buyer, insist that
the transaction be on O quality basis.
After one Got of chickens is re-
thoroughly and spray with a disin-
fectant.
Clean up the incubator; use a good
disinfectant; empty the oil and throw
the wick away. Allow the machine to
dry thoroughly before closing the
door up tight.
Regularity of feeding means much.
Those who feed spasmodically are
likely either to injure the fowls by
overlooking or not give enough, per-
haps both. The birds should have their
feed regularly.
Eggs are easily affected by bad
odors. Do not keep in a musty grain
bin, or in the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the odors Of
kerosene and gasoline.
Marketing must be done at the right
time and in the right manner. This
is very important for it will be the
final test of profitable poultry raising.
There should be method in marketing.
Not only should feeding he regular,
but the quantity should be ample. 1t
would be waste of feed to give too
much, but enough should be given and
just enough. Surely this requires
method.
Method has much to do with pOul-
/ try raising even where farmers have
small fiocks. Just as method is re-
| sponsible for much in general farm
ing so is 1t important in raising poul-
try.

wild animals are killed yearly for the
sake of their fur.
Electrical machinery has been in

which is in Lapland.
Il. e. Wilson, once an Office boy,
now draws 100000 year as head of
a New York corporation.
A calculator that shows the money
values of one country in the terms of
several others and applies the values
to various weights and measures has
been invented by an Englishman.
The records of the American con-
sulate at Grenoble, France, show ship
ments of women's gloves to the United
States during 1915 to the value of
81 ,16S,S19, compared with $1,S75, 1S5 in

WAR WRECKS ARE MADE OVER
Remarkable Operations Being Per
formed on Wounded Soldiers Of
European BattIefieIds.

Operations by which important and
even vital parts of the human body,
shattered or completely shot away,
have been rebuilt or replaced are now
among the commonplace events of the
military hospitals of Europe. In the
hospitals in England the science of sur
gerry has reached heights heretofore
undreamed of, thanks largely to the
efficient direction of Sir Alfred Keogh,
director general of the British army
medical service. From the beginning
of the war Sir Alfred has impressed
upon his subordinates the necessity Of
the saving of the limbs of wounded SOL
diers when 1t Is at all possible, in order
that the patients may remain useful
members of the community and not be-
come public charges.
Amputations are now avoided in
thousands of cases where two years
ago they would have been considered
absolutely necessary. Marvels have
also been accomplished in the new
nerve surgery, which has been devel-
oped as a result of the vast multitude
of cases in which the nerves have been
severed.
Sir Alfred Keogh, the director of the
army medical service of Great Britain,
is in his sixtieth year, and is the son
of Roscommon barrister. He gained
his first experience in wartime surgery
during the South African conflict, when
he was in charge of general hospital.
His work was so efficient that he was
awarded several medals, and In 1904
became director general of the service.
He retired in 1909, but returned to the
head OF the medical service when he
war broke out. Sir Alfred has been the
recipient of many honors from medical
and scientific organizations.

The Elusive Nickel.

Every boy knows how annoying 1t is
TO drop something into a sidewalk
grating or between the cracks of a
sidewalk. And nearly all boys have
had such an experience at some time
or other. A simple remedy is general
ly at hand in the form of a stick and a
piece of chewing gum or tar. Smear
the gum on the end of the stick and
then lower it into the hole or grating.
When the gum adheres TO the lost ar
ticle all that is left to do is to lift
1t out. 1 have had several occasions
TO use this idea and it has always
worked fine.--AmericaV Boy.

Had Suffered Enough

An old American revolutionary SOL
der was a candidate for congress, and
his opponent was a young man who

the custom of the old soldier to tell of
the hardships he had endured. Said
he:

bled for my country. have helped to
whip the British and the Indians. |
have slept on the field of battle with
no other covering than the canopy of
heaven. have walked over the frozen
ground till every footstep was marked
with blood"
Just about this time one of the vot-
ers, who had become greatly interested
in his tale of suffering, walked up in
front of the speaker, wiped the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of his
coat-tail, and interrupted him with
Did you say you had fought the Brit
ish and Ingins?"
Yes, sir"
did you say you had slept on the
ground while serving your country
