RICH AND POOR GIRLS.

| 1t has been truly said that One-half
the world does not know how the other
half lives. The daughter of wealthy
parents has little if any conception of
how the girl who must toll for her
daily bread exists. She has read or
| heard that tenement homes consist Of
bnf few dreary rooms, with little to
brighten them.
A girl who will one day be a great
heiress confided to me recently that
she was just making up her Christmas
lists of presents to buy. She remarked
she had already made some of the pur-
chases.
'There is q girl who works in a
paper-box factory, living on the fifth
floor of a tenement, who will certainly
be surprised when she gets what / pur-
chased for her."
''How sweet and kind of yOu," / said,
impulsively. thinking she had made
wise purchase.
l was as much surprised as the poor
girl was when the maiden remarked,
l.
toilet set for her dresser, with her
initials on each piece, and cluny lace
centerpiece; also white satin bedroom
slippers with rhinestone buckles and
cute pink silk tasselS, and such a be-
witching lace breakfast cap. / paid
twelve dollars for that alone. What
do you think of that?"
81 think the very best thing you can
do is to take them right back to the
store where you bought them and Sc
lect a heavy bed blanket and warm
cloak for the girl, instead. Ten to one
she has no dresser. Her bedroom is
likely to be shared by all the younger
fry of the family. Girls like you need
to come into closer touch with poor
girls. See them in their homes and
the pinching poverty that surrounds
them. 1t would be an eye-opener to
you"
There's one multimillionaire's daugh-
ter living in New York, Miss Anne,
daughter of the late J. P. Morgan,
whose chief pleasure is calling upon
the poorest of girls in their homes.
She takes note of how they live and
betters their conditions. There's hard
" poor girl in the city who does not
speak of her as her friend. AS Miss
Helen Gould, this woman Of great
wealth had warm friends among her
poor tenants. She visited and aided
the longshoreman's sick wife when she
was ill, slipped an envelope containing
goOdly sum to a little dressmaker
out of work, whose last penny had
been paid for rent. She believed there
should be no barriers between the rich
and the poor. Rich girls would be
happier if they put aside self and set
forth to relieve the sorrow they might
find in the world for the looking. 1t
is a gross error to send box of bon
bons to a woman starving for bread,
with no coal in the scuttle to start a
fire.

Lightning Causes Forest Fires.

Records kept for many years show
that out of every 100 fires in the ma
tional forests of Arizona and New
Mexico, 40 originate from lightning. In
northern and central Arizona the pro-
portion of lightning fires runs up to
20 per cent, while in the Manzona for
est, near Albuquerque, only per cent
of the fires are started by lightning.
There is no satisfactory explanation Of
this condition. In general, these for
ests bearing big timber and lots OF
grass seem to suffer most, but a no
table exception occurs in southern Ari
IONA where the proportion runs from
40 per cent to 60 per cent in spite of
the timber averaging smaller and the
grass somewhat Sparser than else
where.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Used very
Much Until One Year Old-keeP
in Best Of Condition.

A boar should not be used very
much on sows until he is one year old,
nor for heavy service until two years
old. If one wants to develop boar
to the highest possibility it Is not
well to use him at all under one year
old.
One service per day is enough, but
in case two sows are to be served In
one day, breed one in the morning
and the other in the evening, and let
the boar rest day or so before using
him again. One service to SOW is
all that is necessary. With such
treatment O mature boar should be
able to handle so or 60 sows during a
breeding season.
The boar should be kept in good
condition all the year, but not so tat
as to be lazy and clumsy. His ration
should be increased before the breed
ing season, in order to have him gam
ing at the time he is being used. ms
keeps him in good condition, and Det-
ter results may be obtained.

that he is not experiencing the grand
Heart throns at meeting or parting
from her and is Indifferent as to
whether or not she entertainS other
callers, he is not in love. Then the
more quickly he ceases his attentions
to her the better for both it will be.
In breaking away. he is simply giving
else who may care for her
a chance. 1t is the man who continues
to call, even after he has won wom-
ans heart and knows her affection is
hopeless, who should be blamed.
Wake up, young men, think this
matter over, you who are backward in
declaring your intentions. The girl
you visit so constantly has a right TO
know why you are coming. The man
who wishes to be friend only should
limit his calls to one fortnight. 1t is
cruel to trifle with a wOman's affec-
tons.

this time following General Won Falken1
hayn himself on an inspection trip OF
this front. And pow it rained. The
gorgeous beauty Of these wild noun
tain crags, the purple mists that yelled
the garish colors of the peaks, the fas-
cination and the splendor of what
Americans call Indian summer were
gone. Everything had assumed, as IL
by magic, drab cOlorS. The misty rain
beat against us before an icy wind.
The steep roads became perilouS with
slippery mud. There was no song from
the soldiers that we passed. Dripping,
soaked, they plodded YEARLY and
slowly. The horses of the baggage
trains seemed to feel the same way
about it. The automobile trucks fioun7
dered in the mud and many had nar1
row escapes. 1t is no light task TO
navigate one Of these giant cars on a
crooked. slippery mountain road.
On little shelves Of the mountain SIDE
were smoky bivouac fires trying hard
to burn. About them were drenched
soldiers trying to dry their soaked
equipment and uniforms. Here ana
there tapped tiny dog tents into which
these soldiers would creep for the
night in the hope that tomorrow would
bring bit of sunshine.
Wounded Know No Hate.
Around a turn in the road came
slowly moving, weary OK train. The
oxen seemed to mind the rain less than
the horses. It was the contents OF the
wagons these oxen pulled slowly and
ponderously through the mud that
made our auto slow down as we passed
them. Each wagon contained a num-
Der of wounded lying in the straw
1t was in this section that the Rou-
manians had attempted to stop the
German advance by blowing up the
road at three abrupt curves. They
had done their work we'll. The exp!o-
sions tore off the whole shelf on which
the road was carried. But the Ger
man engineers had done their work
equally well. They hurriedly built up
q wall at about the middle of the de-
strOyed road, then dynamited away
big chunk of the overhanging noun
tain side. This fell against their new
abutment, and in three hours the Ger
mans were able to put artillery over
the new road.

The principal object In wintering
cattle is to bring them through the
the winter in such condition that they
will make the best returns the next
season. In days of unlimited range
and cheap beef, what would now be
considered a high death loss was TAX
en- as a matter of course. With
high beef prices, limited range, aAd
with feedstuffs more readily available
in case of need, it is not considered
economical to let stock cattle lose
flesh in wintering. They will be in
better shape to take advantage of the
next seasons grass if they gain lit
tie through the winter. 1t is not adj
visable, on the other hand, to let stock
cattle fatten much, unless they are to
be fed out for market before June, as
they are likely to lose this fat on
early spring grass, and will not make
such profitable gains through the fol-
lowing summer.
Under farm conditions, the greatest

DARING FEAT OF CUTTER RECALLED

the senior officer present hailed the
Manning, which was close by, through
the megaphone in the following lam
guage:
Manning, there!
"That fellow coming out of Havana
is probably the German warship Geier.
He must be overhauled at all hazards.
You have the only ship present that
can do it. Go in, and good luck to
you'll"
With a flash the Manning's engine
room indicator was whirled to full
speed ahead, the bugles sounded all
hands to quarters and in another in
slant the Manning was tearing through
the water at full speed. Steadily she
crawled up, and as she did so her Of
ficers could see the strangers hull
steadily rise on the horizon. Then the
gun Sponsors came in view; her flag
was showing, but it was now plain that
the vessel ahead was not only large
cruiser, but Enthusiastically the Geier. A
headline in the coast ahead compelled
the stranger to haul out more to sea,
and as she did so she slowed down,
then stopped, and slowly there fiut-
tered to the gait end the imperial flag
of Germany.
Cutter Circles Around Geier.
The Manning, without stopping her
great speed, tore under the Geier's
stern, put her helm hard-a-port and
made a full round of the German
cruiser, as much as to say, "Well, you
didn't get out without being spoken
to-" AS the Manning spun round the
German the officers of the Geier stood
at salute, which was CURLY acknowl-
edged from the Manning, and then as
the Manning headed back q great roar
of laughter burst from her men, for
there, coming down in the distance as
fast as they could steam, was every.
one of the eight little American guard
vessels, the fastest not able to make
more than ten knets, and not one carry
ing more than a few six-pound guns.
but they were all determined to be in.
that fight if it was possible to get
there.
The significance of the Geier's act
lay in the fact that if she had been
able to break through the American
Gordon without being spoken to she
could, on arrival at Vera Cruz, where
she put in few days later, have cabled
to Berlin that the American preten-
sions to a blockade before Havana
were unwarranted, and therefore the
alleged blockade was not recognizable.

Disabling of Geier at Honolulu
Brings Back Incident of

Interned Prussian Gunboat Makes
Dash From Havana Harbor, but is,
Rounded Up by Coast Guard
Cutter Manning.

New York.-The interned PrusSlan
gunboat Geier, which was reported IN
recent dispatches to have been dls-
abled at her pier in Honolulu, at the
outbreak of war in 1914 was cruising
in the Pacific and while en- route to the
California coast was pursued by three
Japanese armored cruisers. In order
TO escape, the German ship made her
way into Honolulu, but finding that
the japanese maintained blockade OH
the Hawaiian port the Geier. informed.
AS a precautionary measure, it is said.
the breech blocks of the Geier's guns
were removed and sent ashore, as were
also the main crankshafts and cylln-
der heads.
During the Spanish-American war
the Geier sprang into prominence by an
attemptsto demonstrate the inetfectlVe-
ness of the American blockade upon
Havana. The Geier had obtained per-
mission to pass through the American
blockade at an early period OF the war;
at time when strong American
naval force was present before the Gu
han mort. and she remained in Havana
until only few lightly armed cutters
and converted lighthouse tenders were
on guard, the heavy ships having peen
withdrawn under Admiral Sampson to
the eastward.
