GEORGES FINISH WAS PLAIN
jewelers. Clerk Pessimistic over Fu-
ture of 6ashfuI Swain Who Was
Led to the slaughter"

A young couple, evidently from the
country, were walking down Market
street the other day apparently look
ing for something very much in par
ticular. At last they stopped at a
large jewelers. window in which were
displayed a number of wedding-rings.
They stood by the window a few mo-
ments discussing some urgent question,
the big, clumsy-looking fellow, who
measured about six feet, apparently
hesitating, says Tit-Bits.
'Go on, George" said the girl, who
scarcely reached his elbows; whats
the use of backing Glt, now you've
gone so far"
81 don't half like to, Mary" he re-
piled; ''that sleek-looking fellow in
there is sure to grin at me, and say
l ought to be in the army"
"What difference does 1t make
whether he laughs or cries !" exclaimed
the girl. eff you haven't the pluck, I'll
go myself"
"That's it, Mary" was the response; ;
'if you'll do the asking, I'll come with
you and look on"
Followed by her bashful lover, the
little woman marched boldly in and
chose the wedding-ring, while her
swain twirled his hat, blushed and
looked on.
AS they left, the assistant gazed
after them with a thoughtful air, and
remarked: 81 admire Mary's pluck,
but 1 would hate to be George ten
years from now."

Dangerous Ignorance.
LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so It lifts out
without pain.

! Let folks step on your feet hereafter ;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
q tender, aching corn, instantly re-
heves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

GARDEN WORK IN SEASON
BY |. M. BENNINGTON.

The best way to secure very early
plants is to start them in the seedbox
or hotbed, or other protected quarter,
soon as the seedlings are large enough.
If necessary they may be grown sew
eral weeks in the small pots. There
is no check in the growth of potted
plant at the time of transplanting and
the work may be done at any time
morning or evening, wet or dry wealth
er. The ball of earth holds the feed
ing roots together and prevents them
from becoming broken.
Several weeks may be gained by
starting many Of the flower and vege-
table seeds in boxes in the house.
Glass is the best protection, however,
for plants; but when a glass is not
procurable, thin white cheesecloth
makes a fairly good substitute. 1t ad-
mits both light and air. Why not try
some this spring?
Try some new vegetables and flow
ers this spring. There are many good
things that we have not seen or tast-
ed. Try them and see. There Is moth
ing like trying. Many a man made
his fortune by trying. Get the seeds
of dozen new things and begin.
Asparagus may be grown from seed.
The seed may be sown at any time
during spring and summer, yet 1t
ought to be done fairly early as 1t
takes them about six weeks to come
up. Plant in straight rows and keep
the young plants free Of weeds. The
young plants may be reset to perma-
nent beds or rows In the fall or follow
Ing spring where they will be ready to
use the second spring after seeding.

PLANT GRAPEVINES FOR
BEAUTY

To me the wild grapevine produces
the sweetest odor of any plant in ex-
Istence. The wild grape is a handy
vine, growing with scarcely any at
tention. 1t can be made to cover
side fence as dense hedge, or trained
over a trelIis or up shade trees.
Young plants may be secured In al
most any wood or along bushy fence
rows. They. are transplanted in late
fall or winter. Grapevines Of every de-
scriptIon are attractive, however. The
blue grape with it's wealth Of luscious
fruit should find place on the home
grounds.

GRAYFISH.

= Under a new name the long despiscd dogfsh at last finds
himself officially welcomed as a nutritious article of diet and
a first-rate ally in the fight against the rising cost Of living.
Last spring the Bureau Of Fisheries tactfully introduced .Me|
vagabond OF the seas whose scientific applications even, Squalls
acanthias and Acanthias vulgaris, kept him out Of favor, under the
more engaging title Of grayfsh. Since then the packers, the retail
trade and the public have treated him with increasing respect, until
Secretary Redfield of the Department of Commerce now announces
that packers of grayfish estimate the present demand to be tenfod
the available supply, and that one large jobber in the Middle West
has just placed his fourth order since the fish was put on the market
in Novembr.
The Bureau Of Fisheries asks American consumers to believe
that in the grayfish they have another plentiful and low-priced
article Of good food. Experiments have already been conducted far
enough to show that "a can of grayfish provides about the same guam
ty OF nutrment as a can of medium-grade salmon, containing a
little less protein and a little more fat"
The fats ire dgsSed In about the same proportion as those
OF other animal foods. while the incomplete analyses show that
the digested poreins will at least exceed 30 per cent
This is pretty good for the old dogish that for generations has
been cursed by fishermen for chewing their lines and nets and biting
holes in the strings of fish they prepared for market. The dogtsn
is nothing more or less than a small sized shark and swims to make
trouble. Thousands Of fishermen on the American coasts will be
amazed and delighted to hear that he has become a real member Of
sea society with a value that makes him worth going after.
Already the grayfish has proved a godsend to the Pacific Coast
canneries. The catch Of other kinds of Pacific fish has been poor this
season, but the Puget Sound packers are canning so many grayfsh
that they had difficulty in obtaining enough cans.
Mediterranean countries have eaten dogfsh, or the Mediter.
ranean cousins Of the family, since the days Of Rome. Fishermen
OF the British Isles have also long eaten them, both fresh and sailed.
Smoked they are said to be excellent.
American housekeepers have bad no dealings with the dogfish.
But as the ~grayish, pleasant of name, tasty, nourishing and cheap, he
bids fair to become a table commodity of Importance.

CROPPING ITS WAY BACK?

~OINCIDENT with the official announcement that Gen.
Persh;ng has been ordered to march his expeditionary force
out Of Mexico comes news from Mexico itself of a call for the
election Of a Mexican Congress to be held the last Sunday of nest
month. 1t is hoped that a Presidential election can be held in March
end 9 constitutional Mexican President installed by May /.
Nobody pretends that Mexico has been made over. Carranza is
still Carranza. He has not captured or even weakened Villa. He
has continued foolishly dstrustful of every effort made in his behalf
by the most powerful and disinterested friend his country ever had.
Nevertheless, in its own fitful, jealous way, Mexico may be struggling
back toward something approaching orderly and responsible self-gov-
ernment-which is the only thing the United States ever asked OF it,
In spite of all that Carranza has left undone or bungled through MS
stnfnecked pride and his ridiculous resentment, he has, nevertheless,
managed to restore a certain amount of law and administrative ma
chinery in places where they we're desperately needed.
So far, however, as better feeling toward America goes, the Juarcz
riots of last Saturday show that popular hostility toward "Gringoes"
10 still as intense al the ignorance that begets it.
And there, so far as the United States is concerned, is the crux
Of the whole Mexican problem. The only e1peditionary moves that
can ever fully solve it must be those Of education.

Charles !, was beheaded on a scat
