Bile. MY insldes bear startling testi-
mony to the presence OF pepper"
And be roared again, while Prudence
began q critical examination of the
oysters. She found them literally
stuffed with pepper; there was no
doubt of 1t: The twins had done dead
iy work
Revenge, ye gods, how sweet"
chanted Fairy. 1.-THE twins are get
ting even with a vengeance-the same
twins you said were adorable, Babbie.n
1t must be said for Fairy that her
good nature could stand almost any
thing. Even this did not seriously
disturb her. ."Do you suppose you can
find us some milk, Prue? And crack
ersi I'm so fond Of crackers and
milk, aren't you, Babbie?
"0h, | adore 1t. But serve a micro
scope with 1t, please. / want to ex-
anime 1t for microbes before / taste"
But Prudence did better than that.
She made some delicious cocoa, and
opened a can Of pear preserves, donat-
ed to the parsonage by the amiable
Mrs. Adams. The twins were very
fond of pear preserves, and had been
looking forward to eating these on
their approaching birthday. They
were doomed to disappointment The
three had a merry little feast, after
all, and their laughter rang out so
often and so unrestrainedly that the
twins shook In their beds with rage
and disappointment.
1t speaks well for the courage of
Babbie, and the attractions Of Fairy,
that he came to the parsonage again
and again. In time he became the
selves, but he always called them "the
~adorables," and they never asked him
why. The punishment inflicted upon
them by Prudence ranked In their
memories for many months.
"The offense was against Fairy
said Prudence, with a solemnsty she
did not feel, "and the reparation must
be done to her. For three weeks you
must do all of her bedroom work., and
run every errand she requires. More
over, you must keep her shoes well
cleaned and nicely polished, and must
do every bit of her darningl"
The twins would have preferred
whipping a thousand times. They felt
they had got a whipplng's worth of
pleasure out of their mischief But a
punishment like this sat heavily upon
their proud young shoulders, and from
that time ON they held Fairy practi-
cally immune from their pranks.
Prudence did not bother her head
about etiquette after that experience.
I'm strong for comfort" she declared.
"and since the two cannot live together
in mi family, l say we do without ETH
Quette."
And Fairy nodded in agreement,
smiling good-naturedly.

STERN CALL ON ENGINEERS.
Well as the Forces to Which 1t
Was Opposed.

A recent message from the field
headquarters of the Italian army says
that the transportation romano of this
45O-mfle mountain front, set down in
cold, hard figures, reads thus: 2,44S
miles of railroad rebuilt or repaired:
500 miles of new railroad built: $50
miles Of airline cables stretched for
the teleferica system 10000 miles of
telephone wire put up; 10000 new
troop, hospital and freight buildings
erected; 200 miles of narrow gauge
railroad laid in or behind the trenches;
10 new bridges thrown across rivers
and precipices to accommodate 2,O40
miles of operating road.
The work is credited to 120 civil en-
gineers of the government department
of public works, aided by army en-
gineers proper; likewise by 100000
workmen and 100000 army mules,
hitched to $4,000 wagons.
The foregoing is the first official rec
ord of the exact extent of the con-
struction work on this front, carried
on steadily for Is months, despite enc
my artillery, avalanches, snowfalls,
rains, floods, frost, lack of material
and all of the other Ills by which en-
gineerS are beset,

TREES PROTECT FARM FOWLS
In Summer They Afford Shade and In
Winter Some Protection From
Wind and SIeet.

Those who live near a forest where
the chickens, turkeys and guineas may
have the range of the forest axe for
tunate. In the summer the trees af-
ford shade, in the winter some pro-
lection from the chilling winds and
driving sleet. Besides trees protect
the soil keep 1t from washing or blow
ing !: they shed their leaves, making a
covering to hold moisture, protect in
sects, etc.
Fowls delight to scratch among
leaves under trees and in a little for
est. Turkeys will eat acorns and find
many insects in such places as the
forest or grove.
Where n lives on a prairie or on
the plains it would be well worth
while to plant a few trees near the
home to protect 1t from the bleak
windss add to its setting and at the
same time give the fowls a place to
grange" Even on the plains such
quick growth as black locust or ca
talpa could be planted and it. would
not be long till a nice little grove
would be had. There are other trees
that grow fast and would soon make
sufficient growth to be of use to the
poultry. The trees need not waste,
for when large enough for posts or
other useful purposes they could be
thinned and younger growth left to
take the place of the older.
Even where n has but a city lot
or a small poultry yard on the farm
a few shrubs could be used to advan-
tage for shade in summer and for win
ter protection. Figs, privet, grape
vines, Japonica, Deutzia, spirea. lilac
and other shrubs or vines might be
used for this purpose.

1t was a dull day early In Decem-

room.

is true. And l made this fudge on pur-
pose to distract her attention. Poor

cally. Her heart is Just set on a brand

So Fairy returned once more, and
soon after Prudence tapped on the
door. Then she opened II, and thrust

she chirped methodically. And Fairy
said. "oh, yes, indeed. Pr~udence--this

The three gathered socially about
the table. Babble was first to taste
the steamlng stew. He gasped, and
| gulped, and swallowed some water
with more haste than grace. Then he
toyed idly with spoon and wafer until
Prudence tasted also. Prudence did
not gasp. She did not cry out. She
looked up at her sister with wide eyes

But Fairy did not notice.
"Now, please do not ask me to talk

was saying brightly.

WINTER CARE FOR CHICKENS
Every Preparation Made to lnsure
Fowls With Proper Supply Of
Food Will Be Repaid.

In the winter the care of poultry Is
quite a task and every preparation
that IS made to reduce work and in
sure the birds with a proper supply OF
clean food will be well repaid. On
the general farm the cattle, sheep and
hogs will doubtless come first and too
often the hens are neglected. The
only way to insure proper treatment
for the poultry flock is to equip the
house with feeding appliances that
will enable the farmer to care for the
flock without wasting time. All of the
hoppers can be made on the farm
from packing boxes or scrap lumber
and when once constructed the job is
done and the hens will pay for the
labor many times.

DAY or REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place Of tho
Anticipated Methods of Making
Changes In Government.

The machine gun and the high ex-
plosive shell have ended the days of
successful revolutions, according to
Stanley J. Weyman, the English au-
thor of "The House of the Wolf" "a
Gentleman of France" and "Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-
mans view no rebellion by the peo-
pie can ever hope to be successful In
the larger nations now.
Against the muskets and cannon Of
old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail If fury lent
strength and numbers were sufficient.
But today, when half a dozen machine
guns, handled by twice as many ex-
perts, can NOW down hundreds in a
plosive shell can wreck half a village,
when everything that has to do with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them, and the airplanes that
guide them, Is technical to a degree,
of what avail are the scattered rifles
and barricades Of the people, the regi-
ments hastily levied and scantily
armed? OF none. Before the muzzles
of a few machine guns the tofIers OF
Client and Liege and Antwerp, cities
famed in the past for their turbulence,
are hurried into slavery well-nigh un-
resisting.
"For they know resistance to be
hopeless. And so 1t is, and must be.
As long as a mere handful of men
trained in the use of these engines
remains faithful, despotism may sit
secure, be the people never so impa-
tient. Only from outside, only by the
use of equal weapons, only by other
nations, can the yoke be broken and
the people be freed"

GOOD HENHoUsE EQUIPMENT
Low Table for Water and Milk is
Handy-Hopper for Dry Mash 10
OF Much Importance.

Keeping the flock in good condition
Is more easily accomplished If the
house is furnished with good equip
'ment. An oblong table about two feet
high and long enough for the water
pail and a crock of sour milk will be
useful in protecting the recepfacles
from the litter ON the floor.
A large feed hopper which will hold
a weeks supply of dry mash is Inn
portant. Small hoppers for feeding
grit, oyster shell and charcoal are nee
essary.
An effort to get along without the
hoppers will always result in wasted
feed or a poor condition of the flock
If any of the necessary ingredients are
not furnished

lFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture1
An insect destructive to the peach
and kindred fruits, believed to be new
In the United States, has been discov-
cred by e~ntomologists of the United
States department Of agriculture in the
District of Columbia and its environs.
This insect, which In its adult form is
a brownish moth and in Its larval stage
a small white and pink caterpillar, at
tacks both the tender shoots and fruit,
causing serious losses.
Because of the habits of the worm,
the usual control measures such as
spraying with certain %arsenates will

of developing control measures.
What the Insect is.
The insect, known to science as Lass
peyresia molesta, is believed to have
been introduced from Japan. SO far as
the departments ~entomologists know,
1t has not been found in America other
than in the District of Columbia and
In the adjoining territory in Maryland
and Virginia. The specialists are de-
sirous of knowing If the insect has at
tackled peach, plum, or cherry trees
elsewhere in the United States.
The presence of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the ma
ture Of its injury to peach trees. 1t
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at
tackled In turn, the abnormal stipula-
ton of lateral growth producing a
much branched and bushy plant. A CO.
pious flow of gum from the twig ends
often follows the attack Of the cater.
pillars.
Injury to Fruit.
In attacking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat through the skin
at or near the point of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larva, as it grows,
makes its way to the pit, where it
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discolored and more or less
Shiny. Larvae entering at the side of
the fruit are more likely to eat out
pockets or cavities in the flesh.
The %full-grown caterpillar spins a
whitish silk cocoon in which to pupate.
Moths emerge in the spring for egg
laying by the time the shoots are well
out.
The bureau of entomology, United
States department of agriculture, es-
pecially requests owners of peach or
other fruit trees to report the presence,
of this new pest in their orchards.
Specimens Of twigs may be mailed
wrapped in paper or, preferably, in a
! suitable box.

RAISING MUTTON AND WOOL
Marketable Lambs Can Be Produced
by Crossing Western Ewes With
Good Mutton Ram.

Native or western ewes crossed with
a good mutton ram produce good mar
ketable lambs and with present prices
of wool, the fleece will more than pay
the cost of keeping the ewes. Native
ewes will be high In price.
Western breeding ewes can be pur-
chased In carload lots at any of the
stockyards. One hundred and thirty
to one hundred and forty Will be re-
quired to make up a carload.
