'Debritt would say that 1t was the

"And who is Mr.. Debritt?"
"He is the man I dined with on my

been joking me about my various
little smugnesses-good job, good
clothes, easy life, and all that, and he

"What is the Absolute Ego?" she
asked dutifully.
John Montague Smith, with his curl

part of a neglected camper, and with
q steel-jacketed bullet trying to encyst

Again the young woman laughed
happily. "If you are going to call me

1t up to me some other way" she said.
Whereupon, the moment being strict

DANUBE PORT OF BUCHAREST
Giuroevo Was Established by Genoese
Merchants on Site That
Is Historic.

Giurgevo, the Roumanian border city
from which the Bulgarian town of
Rutschuk, on the south bank of the
Danube, was bombarded not long ago,
is the center of trade between the two
countries in peace times and is the
southern terminus of the first railroad
built in Roumania. GS69), the line run
ming to the capital, Bucharest, 40 miles
to the north. With Smarda, two and a
half miles distant it is the Danube
port for Bucharest and for all the rich
corn land which lies between the two
cities, says bulletin of the National
Geographic society.
Occupying the site of ancient Theo-
dorapolis, founded by the Emperor JUS
tinian and named by him for his IA
nous actress wife, daughter of bear
feeder of the amphitheater at Constan-
tlnople, the present city of Giurgevo
was established by Genoese silk and
velvet merchants of the fourteenth
century, who enjoyed the highly profit
able patronage Of the finery-loving
mobiles of this rich agricultural dis
trict. The name Is derived from
Genoa's patron saint, San Giorgio.
short distance north of Giurgevo
there is narrow defile which tosRou-
manians is one of the most hallowed
spots In the kingdom, for here Michael
the Brave in 1895 made a stand which
native historians compare with Their
mopylae. A tiny band of patriots with
stood the onslaughts of Turkish army
overwhelmingly superior in numbers.
The Roumanians achieved notable
victory, their adversaries leaving three
pashas dead upon the field and the
grand vizier himself barely escaping
death in the neighboring marshes.
In the Turko-Russian war in It'll
the capture of Giurgevo was one of the
few successes of the decaying Ottoman
power.
Below this city the Danube widens
until it is three miles from bank to
bank, while in midstream are many
islets, overgrown with willow trees. In
early summer the adjacent plains, pre-
senting a most delightful prospect to
the eye, are described by one traveller
as "a never-endlng succession of pas
ture lands, SO rich, so verdant. SO Ink
urlant that one might fancy they were

paradise, where the green hunting

EGGS DURING WINTER
Early Hatched Pu||ets Must Be
Given Best of Care.
Select Most Desirable Fowls for Breed
Ing Purposes and Keep Only Few
Of Choicest CockereIs-Fur-
nish Green Feed.

There is no need Of farmers carry
ing flock of poultry all through the
winter without getting eggs. To Sc
cure plenty of eggs in winter the early
Matched pullets must have the best of
care from the beginning. That is,
they must be kept growing from the
time of Matching until fully matured,
which should be about the first Of
November.
SO far as facilities are concerned
the farmer has everything coming
his way" and there is no reason why
his flock of pullets should not produce
an abundance of eggs during the win
ter season. With but little attention
pullets which have free range where
they may CLEAN an endless variety of
seeds, bugs, worms and grain, sun
shine and fresh air, shade and pure
water than can be so easily provided,
will, without a doubt, make very rapid
development and mature much earlier
than pullets kept where these natural
surroundings are not to be had.
Another important point is the Gull
ing of the flock. The early Matched
chicks, when sufficiently developed to
distinguish the sex, should, if possible,
be separated, as the pullsts will grow
and thrive much better by themselves.
Select the most desirable pullets for
breeding purposes and keep only a
few of the choicest cockerels. The pull
let's are placed In their winter quarters
and fed as great variety of food as the
farm usually produces to get them in
a laying condition as soon as possible.
Feed them plenty of green food, such
as cabbage leaves, all small apples and
potatoes. turnip tops, In fact, anything

PRODUCTION OF BIGGER EGGS
Purdue Experiment Station Thinks Il
Possible to Produce Eggs OF Bet
ter Color and Shape.

Is 1T possible to produce bigger
eggs, or more uniformly colored eggs
or eggs with frmer white or yellower
yolk than we are at present produc-
ing? The Purdue experiment station
thinks it is, and the eighth annual
Purdue egg show last May had on
display 80 dozen eggs. There were
represented the commercial class, the
fanciers' class, the experiment station
class, the students class, the high
school class, the freak egg class, be-
sides several others The object of the
show is to encourage the production of
more and better eggs.
