eisor's Revenge.

An old Indian named Neyharper,
who lived in that part Of Oklahoma
that used to be called the Indian Ter
ritory, used to tell his white friends
this story Of the strange but terrible
revenge that bison once took on the
hunter who had wounded it in the
chase:
when l was a boy most of our food
was brought in by the buffalo hunters.
Killing these large beasts was hard
and dangerous work, but it was very
exciting. Once tine hunters went out
after herd, each riding his best pony.
One, who had attacked large bull,
failed to strike a vital part with his
arrows, and pursued the beast across
the prairie.
suddenly in the mad race hunter
and prey came to buffalo path that
had been washed down by the heavy
rains till it was two or three feet deep.
The horse stumbled, threw the man
into the ditch, and then. dashed off,
leaving him helpless. The buffalo
saw the accident, turned, and tried
desperately to gore the hunter. But
the ditch was too narrow, and so the
buffalo reached down and with it's long
tongue began to lick the mans bare
back. Every stroke of that rough
tongue tore the skin and flesh pain
fully. The Indian could only bear it,
for If he tried to escape he would
meet death at the horns of the en-
ragged beast. Before his companions
found him and killed the buffalo, it
had licked the flesh from his back
down to the bone, and the poor man
bore the scars of that terrible revenge
to his grave.-Youth's Companion.

English Sixpenny Cottages.

In connection with the shortage of
cottage accommodation which is occu-
plying the minds of the authorities, it
is interesting TO know that cheap and
lasting cottages have been erected, for
ut TheydOn Garnon, Near Epping, Es-
sex, there still stands, in fine preserva
ton, row of cottages built over 400
years since from the surplus bricks
of the village church tower, these being
let at a very low rent, remarks Lon
don Answers.
At Lavendon, near Olney, in Buck
inghamshire, the majority of the cot
tages, built of stone from a local quar-
ry, cost the tenants from one shilling
to two shillings weekly.
But the cheapest abodes in the coun-
try are at Bishops Stortford, Herts,
where "A cottages, erected by the late
Admiral f. Van der Meulen and Sir
Walter Gilbey, are let at ninepence
weekly for married couples and six
pence for single persons, and are fully
furnished at that.

FRANCE KEPT FAMOUS CLOCK
Not Even to ObIige Lord Kitchener
Would BRAND Give Up Timepiece
That Was Historic.

1t is a Well-known fact that Lord
Kitchener was an enthusiastic col
lector and that he rarely lost an occa-
sion Of adding TO his treasures and
his trophies, says the Boston Evening
Transcript.
The Paris Temps sustains that
BRAND had a hard struggle to keep
the famous clock that hangs in the
sale de rhorloge at the foreign office.
The clock in question had been sent
by a king of France to an Indian
prince who had rendered noteworthy
service in a struggle between England
and France.
The ship that contained the royal
gift was sunk by the English and for
many years the famous timepiece re-
manned ut the bottom of the sea in
territorial Indian waters.
"Then," said Kitchener, when he
heard the story, the clock really be-
longs to England, since it remained
SO long Il time in our waters"
Aristide BRAND, who was well ac-
quainted with the mania of his distin-
guished guest, made such u brilliant
legal defense of the right of the
French TO retain the historic clock
that Kitchener taking leave of him
laughingly said: AT least you might
send it to me ut the close of the war
us a souvenir of our victory"

Aid to Reforestation,

The work of reforestation will be
greatly facilitated by the recent inven-
ton of Il machine by which seedlings
may be placed in the ground with
great rapidity. The new machine has
been in use by the United States gov
eminent engaged in the work of plant
ing some deforestated regions in the
far West, and SO far it has every indi-
cation of proving a success. 1t is
drawn by two horses and operated by
three men, one driving while the other
two handle the plants, seeing that they
are properly fed into the machine. \
furrow is made as the machine passes
along and there is an indicator which
may be set according to the character
of the trees being planted, and it accu-
rately gauges the distance between
the paintings. After the plant has
been placed in the ground by the ma
chine, the roots are thoroughly COW
cred by the passage of two broad-tired
wheels. In this manner from 10000
to $1,000 have been planted in a day,
,hereas the capacity of the human
planter is from 1900 to $500 per day.

them this year expect to have some
next season.
it is interesting to. note that some
of the varieties on the plot yielded over
200 pounds of protein per acre, and
that it would take approximately five
tons of red clover hay per acre to give
the same amount of total protein. This
does not discredit red clover, but EN-
phasizes the value of the SOY bean crop
in the rotation along with the clover,
thus giving more homegrown protein.
l9l6-l9l7 fertilizer situation.-Wnd-
ham county farmers may well follow
the example of the farmers in Franklin
Orleans and Caledonia counties, where
chemicals are largely bought for home
mixing instead OF the readymiXed com
mercial fertilizers. More than 90 ear
loads of chemicals were bought last
year in these three counties; and those
| who buy one year buy again. Chemicals
have been sold from four to ten or more
/ years in these counties. The university
| farm at Burlington always uses chemi-
Gals instead of commercial fertilizers.
| The state purchasing agent buys chemi-
Gals for the insane asylum, the indus
! trial school, the state prison, the house
of correction, the state schools of agri-
/ culture; and the field service they rem
der is entirely satisfactory.

be no secret about the matter-that he
won his earliest races in England with
so little difficulty. In those days, how
ever, the art OF riding races at a true
pace throughout was not nearly so we'll
understood as it is now, and by de-
grees Maher found the home jockeys
less easy to beat than during his early
experiences Of English racing.
His greatest rival, of course, was
Frank Wootton, and one wonders when
again we shall see two such excellent
jockeys in regular opposition. Even be
tween them, however, there was little
in common in method or style. but |
imagine that the majority Of people I'M
hesitatinglv accepted Maher as the
greatest master Of his art-and that
without III the slightest degree dis
paraging Wootton s undoubtedly great
ability. 1t has been pointed out that
neither Maher nor Wootton ever at
tanned the degree of success-as judged
simply by the number of races won
each season-acc accomplished by Archer,
Momv Cannon, Tommy Loates, and
other Jockeys before their day, but
| the conditions-fa versus gate start
ing-were so totally different that no
reasonable comparison can be institute

FOOLISH TO LOSE TEMPER
New York Newspaper Gives Some
Good Advice to Girls Who Must
Work for a Living.

A great many persons are given to
bewailng the fact that so many girls
go out into the world of business to
earn their living these days. But why
isn't this business life good train
ing in character as well as help to-
ward financial independence?
You who are at work in an office
or shop or a wholesale house or wher-
ever you may be engaged in capturing
ii weekly salary know very well that
you cannot give way to your faults
as easily or with the same impunity
as at home.
That's the question of temper. IF
you are quick-tempered and apt to fly
out when you are crossed or opposed
you will find it difficult to keep q good
job You must learn to keep your tenn
per, and to keep it under considerable
provocation at times.
The girl who flies into rage or
who turns sulky when she is repri-
mandcC or when the work piles UP on
her, or when she falls out with some
other employee; the girl who runs to
the manager with constant complaints,
is under Il handicap. If she has any
gumption she will soon realize the fact
and set herself to cure it. Her posi-
ton is of too great Importance to her
to throw it away because of Il hasty
temper. At home she knows that home
remains no matter bow much she gives
way, but her place at desk or counter
or showroom can be filled very soon
with another and wiser woman if she
does not learn TO manage herself prop
erly.-New York Telegram.
