 whats that, MT. Caudle? Poor thing did you say? You didn't say that? We'll It sounded very much like 1t. I suppose though with your advanced views on matrimony, love affairs and things in general, since you've been running with that Tattletale girl, you'd pity any man or woman, married or single, who didn't grasp every opportunity that came their way. Really, MT. Caudle, when I think of the devoted Christian character that you used to be; superintendent of the Sunday school, leader of the midweek prayer meeting; taker-up of the collec- ton on Sundays, and all the other noble, virtuous things that you did in the early days of our married life I can't realize that you have changed so. Why, In those days you never looked at another lady; you never heard of hghball you never belonged to a club; you never rode on the street cars; you walked home in the evenings from your office; in other words, you were a good, poor,

You've Never seen one yet that didn't say something about everything? Now that will do, Mr. Caudle; few remarks like that from you are quite sufficient and, besides the question of woman talking or keeping quiet is not the Issue now. Whats that? It's always the ls- sue with you; because there never is a time that I'm not talking about some thing? Now, Mir. Caudle, that Is great injustice to mo, sir, and resent It; everybody who knows me knows that I am the most suffering wife that ever lived; it's seldom that l ever speak to you about anything. sir; but when such outrageous conversations as I heard be- tween you and Miss Tattletale the other evening at the party take place between my husband and any woman, am going to inquire into the why's and wheretores of it, and understand, if l can the views that you entertain

 T never could understand man want Ing to mix up his affairs of the heart anyway; it's like eating several courses at dinner, all at the same time. or look ing at two beautiful paintings at once; 1t occurs to be that in either case one misses the best points of each game. What did you say MT. Caudle? You imagine that even an Indian wants more than one scalp to his belt? Why, cer- tainly, an Indian does. but he's a sav- age; he doesn't appreciate anything from love to murder But I suppose that's the answer, because a man Is sav- age in everything from food to flirtations, and most of them, like an Indian, pre- fer a string of gaily colored glass beads to one genuine jewel. But let me tell you,, MT. Caudle, it takes all the edge off of love affair for woman when she knows she's travelling in a bunch; that she's one of a crowd; she doesn't enjoy travelling in the ranks, if you know what I mean!"

 Selecting the Show Birds
 Where one has a large number Of birds from which to choose, there ought to be little difficulty in selecting show pens even for such shows as New York and Chicago. The breeder, of course, knows recognized by poultry judges. The Standard of Perfection sets forth the points and one should be familiar with them.
 Let it first be seen that the color of the legs, eyes and plumage are up to standard. Next see that combs, wattles, beak and general proportion are alike, so that the birds will be fairly uniform. Then let every part of each bird be ex- amined in detail. See that the neck, hackle,' back and tail are the same in color, marking and carriage; also the breast and wings. These rules apply even where individual male or female birds are selected for exhibition.
 The fancier should not be too criti- cal. Experience proves that few birds are absolutely perfect. One of the chief characteristics of breeding Is variation,

lA h1 R. CAUDLE, I never have un- lIWII derstood how a man can want SVS to be carrying on with more than one woman at time. What's thatf What do I mean by carrying on?' You know perfectly well what I mean; heard you talking to that little Tattletale mink the other evening at the Gottrox's party and she said that identical thing to you, and I heard you say: Oh, that's easy,' and she replied: Not if both of the women know It. That rather raised that silly little hussy In my estimation; I didn't know before that she had as much sense as you could put in a thim ble, but I believe now that she is really a clever sort of person in spite of her blonde hair and pink cheeks and come hither' eyes. Whats that? You've aI- ways told me she had sense, and that if I knew her I'd feel the same way about her that you dor That's enough Of that, MT. Caudle; I shall continue to think about Miss Tattletale just as I've always thought of her, and this Is no oc- casion for a stump speech from you on the subject of her charms and beauty and attractions"
 ''But what l do want to know, MT. Caudle, Is not so much what you meant when you told that TattIetale girl that carrying on with two women at the same time was easy, but why man should want to do such thing. Now, why does he? Please explain that to me, sir. How's that? He doesn't always want to? Sometimes it's an accident?- a temptation-that sort of thing? No; can't understand your explanation, SIT; please be more definite I never could know what it means to feel tempted

Rockefeller at Close Ranr.

b. C. Forbes, in Ieslie's
 What has given you the greatest sat-
 isfaction in having been able to do?" I asked.
 We were playing golf, and MT. Rockefel-
 Ter played one of his characteristically
 straight iron shots before replying. Then
 he replied only Indirectly
 IT III all our giving we had never
 done more than has been achieved by the fine, able, modest men of the Medical
 institute, 1t would have justified all the money and all the effort we have spent. only day or two ago I received a re-
 port that we have discovered a cure for
 the terrible war condition known as gas gangrene. The tests convince these sci ent'sts that the new serum will prevent in large measure that destructive disease which has already maimed for life or
 killed thousands of young men, Isn't that
 splendid and timely work these men
 have just done?"
 MT. Rockefeller will converse a whole | day without using the work 1T" half a dozen times. He always says "We''-un- less telling a joke at his own expense. Once before knew MT. Rockefeller well.
 when he said "we' in reply to ques- ton asked about an early incident ot his career, l was puzzled as to whom he ] meant But who were the 'we'?" l
 asked He was embarrassed He alone had done It. I had gathered from the records. "Oh-well-my brother William came in with us-later," was the halting evasive reply born of modesty. Another time had cornered him into admitting that it was he and not any i've" that had done certain thing. MT Rockefeller didn't quite like it. You must be careful he cautioned If you write anything about me, not to make me out as having done anythine
 more than the other men you write about.
 I mention these incidents to illustrate the trait that first strikes one in MT. Rockefeller. his innate, unassumed mod esty. his unobtrusiveness, his utter lack of ostentatious self-assertion. Pressure was brought to bear upon MT. Rockefel- Ter several years ago to have him assist in preparing full biography of his life and work "No,'' said Mir Rockefeller, in all sin cerity.

CHOOSING AND CONDITIONING

 Poultry keepers who send fowls to exhibitions do so to- win recognition. In order to win the fowls should Le properly conditioned. Conditioning in- cludes earlier feeding, systematic care. preparation for exhibition, shipping the birds. and subsequent management. This article will briefly describe these preparations.
 Chickens are seldom fit for tho show room until they are six months of age. Pullets should be separated from tho cockerels as early as possible. Stimu- latins food may Do given to cockerels longer than to bullets when tho latter are intended for exhibition. Tho fan cier and the utility poultry keeper pro- ceed along different lines after pull lets have reached the age of about six months. Tho latter aims to got his bullets laying as soon as possible. while tho former should delay laying in or der to put his birds In prime condi- ton for the show room.
 Basis of Good Condition
 For the preparation of bullets or hens stimulating food should be re- duced to retard the biological process of reproduction. Whom laying com- Inences. the outlets growth practical 1y stops. Where chickens have been properly fed after being matched. they will be in as good condition for show ing as they ought to be without the need of stimulating food. Cockerels may bs fed . rich wet mash once or twice . day to render them plump and fleshy: but this would be ruinous to bullets. especially if they were to be used for breeding purposes after hav- ing been exhibited. If bullets are over fat few chickens will be matched from their eggs. and those few will be like ly to inherit low vitality. Therefore when buying eggs from prize winning fowls, knowledge of the condition of the layers as to this point Is very i'm portant. This is the conviction of the best breeders and judges as 1t bears on fecundity and vitality.

be large enough for the birds to stand or sit side by side without crowding.
 Whether the birds require special care after their return from the show de- peuds upon the feeding and care they have had during the exhibition. If they have been improperly fed or unduly agitated, the birds may need little corrective. If they seem languid or few erish, give each one 8 scanty meal of bread soaked in milk, a few sips only of clean water, and tablespoonful of castor oil. The latter should be given at night. Next day feed them moderately on soft food, do not give them too much water, and only a small quantity of green food. The following day, if the birds seem all right, they may be placed on their regular diet. In all cases it is safest not to give show birds any green and to limit their water allowance the sday after their return. If these directions are followed closely. there will be little injury from exhibi- ton, and the same pens may be shown many times without losses.
 Pullets do not always mature unf- formly. Often there are deIinouents. Sometimes this is due to poor stam ina. wrong feeding methods or im- proper care. In either case it should pc corrected, and next weeks article has to do with this important s11biect
