WHY FEAR DEATHS CALL?
Philosopher Regards Passing Away as
Only Natural and Good-Fears
the Unnatural.

They were discussing death, a little
group of men, all Of them in the best
of health and the glory of living. Men
of the world, in q sense, and enjoying
life to it's utmost, the subject of death
was introduced by the announcement
that a widely-known man with whom
all of them had been acquainted had
passed away.
One of the party, according to the
Columbus (O) Dispatch, said he hated
to think of death, that he was actually
afraid to think of it. He so loved life
that death seemed terrible enemy
and he would like to escape it. But
the philosopher of the party-only he
was not known as a philosopher until
he delivered his little preachment-
said he could not understand such an
attitude toward death.
Il am not afraid of anything that is
natural he said. "It is the unnatural
to live forever, and l would hate to be
sentenced to such a punishment. But
death is natural; am not afraid of it.
Billions of people have died; they are
dying every day. Little children have
died and old men and women, and the
birds and beasts all pass away, and the
fishes in the streams, and every living
thing upon the earth is to die. Why
then, should great hulk of a chap
like myself, one who has had and is
| having his time, why should ! feal
! death?"
Not afraid of that which is natural
If only all of US could understand tha
the natural is good and the unnatura
bad, what a splendid world it would
be for everything and everybody.

WHY NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS
SoIace Was Found in the Gospel
Brought to Them by Missionaries
or Taught by Masters.

The negro sought a channel for
artistic solace, into which he could
throw the symbolism of his racial long
ing. He found it in the religion
brought to him by missionaries or
taught him by his masters. Here
he was free to dream his dreams
and create his visions of future happi-
ness, for no master could punish him
for praising God. Thus he found re-
Iigion," and in religion he found no
mood of his simple soul unnourished.
1t is, then. not so hard to under
stand why the negro's folksong is, in
its superficial form, so predominantly
religious The "spirituals" of the camp
meeting show a quite unecclesiastical
variety of style and mood, a variety,
in fact, co-extensive with the emotion
al range of simple peasant life. They
include lively dances, bitter laments,
paeans of joy and majestic, organlike
anthems. In the Bible stories which
are retold in ballad form in some of
the spirituals the negro found express
sion for his buoyant, genial humor.
Nearly all the familiar moods of folk
song, from the gayest to the most pro-
foundly tragic, are to be found under
the religious veil which permitted the
slave to live his own varied emotional
life without interference from his mas
ter.-New Republic.

The product is claimed to have the ad-

its inflammability and lack of rigidity.
The heat insulating effect of the cellu-
loid is said also to prevent clouding by
moisture.

Tappino a Submarine,

It's in the In and Out club, the
junior service club in London, where
tall yarns are spun by the fellows in
town on leave, and this one is the
best, but with it goes no guaranty or
refund money. But before shooting
my piece let me state that, no matter
how wild the lie may sound, truth at
least in this war is stranger than fic-
ton, writes q London correspondent.
In a cove on the east coast Of Ireland
Fritz submerges, thinking he could
escape his sole pursuer, an old-tiEe
gunboat on patrol, with busted wire
less, and without any way to call for
help. By means of a grapnel the gum
boat finally locates him lying still on
the shelving bottom. A diver is sent
down. He has a big hammer. he
knocks on the hull of the German sub,
and the taps of the hammer spell out,
in the Morse code: 'Wili you come

let brought down a shower of splint-
cred stone and stalactite and he
grinned as he watched the crowd dodge
to avoid 1t.
Instantly a hundred men rose from
different directions and raced for the
arena, each with a curved sword in
either hand. The yelling changed back
into the chant, only louder than before,
and by that much more terrible. Gym
bais crashed. The music box resumed
it's measured grinding of the "Marseil-
laise." And the hundred began an
Afridi sword dance, than which there
is nothing wilder in all the world Its
like can only be seen under the shadow
of the Hills"
Ismail seemed obsessed by the spirit
of hades let lOose-drawn by it, as by a
magnet, although subsequent events
proved him not to have been altogether
without plan. He got up, with his
eyes fixed on the dance, and thrust
himself and King next to some Orak-
zai Pathans, elbowing savagely to right
and left to make room. And patience
proved scarce. The nearest man
reached for the ever-ready Pathan
knife, but paused in the instant that
his knife licked clear. From a swift

PUT MACHINES UNDER COVER
Prices Have Advanced Greatly and
Proper Care of Farm lmple-
ments Will Pay Well.

Word is being sent out to farmers
over the country to take special pains
this fall and winter to protect their
ma chimes. Prices have advanced
greatly, and care of farm machinery
will pay doubly well this year. So the
word is going out:
To put machines under cover as
soon as the seasons work with them
is over.
To go over every machine carefully
as soon as opportunity will permit,
tightening bolts, replacing broken
parts, and oiling carefully to prevent
rusting.
To paint machines, as painting
lengthens the life of a machine.
Bridge paint is suggested as the best
for iron parts.

MEAT WASTED ON ALL HIDES
Faulty Butchering Also Results In
Considerable Loss of Edible Fats
Which Remain.

ment of Agriculture.)
According to reports received by the
meat-marketing specialists of the bu-
reau of markets, United States depart
ment of agriculture, Washington ID.
c. dealer states that nine steer hides
purchased by him carried 70 pounds
of waste meat. A Detroit dealer re-
ports that an average of six pounds
of waste meat was found on 40 COW
and steer hides received at his plant,
and that in ten days his men scraped
2,177 pounds of waste meat from hides,
or enough to supply low-grade meat to
about 5000 people for one day. Faulty
butchering, in addition to causing a
loss of the food value of the meat
which is wasted, results in a consid-
erable loss of edible fats which re-
main on the hides.

as desired.
Rabbit Fricassee-Brown some but
ter in hot iron skillet Then fry the
hare, previously cut up, brown on both
sides. Next cover the meat with hot
water and stew until it is thoroughly
tender, seasoning it to taste. At the
end of the stewing let the meat again
fry brown.
Rabbit Pot Pie.-Cut a dressed rab-
bit into small pieces; salt and let
stand overnight. Place the cut pieces
in a pot previously filed with warm
water enough to cover the meat. Put
in a medium-sized onion, sliced, and
stew over a medium fire until the meat
is tender. Prepare a rich pie-crust
dough in the proportions of one quart of
flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, and
tablespoonful of baking powder, with
enough water to give it proper con-
sistency. Roll out fiat as for pie crust,
spread lard over the surface; fold and
reroll twice, spreading lard each time.
Line the pan bottom and sides with
dough and fill with meat and alternate
layers of potato in small pieces and
few small onions. Use the thickened
broth from the stew pot as gravy,
pouring it into the pan over the con-
tents. Cover with dough, place in an
oven, and bake for an hour, or until
the whole upper crust is a light golden
brown; serve hot.
The above recipes are offered mere
ly as suggestions. The hind legs and

meat and may be cooked in many diff
ferent ways; boned; they make deli

King stared about him. He had not
realized until then that without aid of
the lamps he could not see his own
hand held out in front of him; his eyes
had grown used to the gloom, like
those of the surgeons in the sick-bays
below the waterline in Nelson's fleet.
"But who shoutedT
"Who knows? There is only one
here who gives orders. We be many
who obey" said Ismail.
"Whose men were the last ones?"
King asked him, trying a new line.
"Bull-with-a-beard'S."
"And whose man art thou, Ismail?"
The Afridi hesitated, and when he
spoke at last there was not quite the

there had been.

very bones were water. He appointed
two-hour watches, to relieve one an
other until dawn, and flung himself
on q clean bed. He was asleep before

Quaintance. A very fair acquaintance
with some phases of the East had
taught him that names such as Bull
with-a-beard are often almost photo
graphically descriptive. He rose to his
feet to look. A blind man can talk, but
it takes trained eyes to gather informa-

The din had increased, and it was
safe to stand up and stare, because all

to see between them.
'Tm not to doctor his men. There
fore it's a fair guess that he and 1 are
to be kept apart. Therefore he'll be as
far away from me now as possible,
supposing he's here"
Reasoning along that line, he tried
to see the faces on the far side, but the
problem was to see over the dancers
heads. He succeeded presently, for
the Orakzai Pathan saw what he want
ed, and in his anxiety to be agreeable,
reached forward to pull back a box
from between the ranks in front. Its
owners offered instant fight, but made
no further objection when they saw
who wanted it and why. King won
dered at their sudden change of mind.
He found man soon who was not
interested in the dancing, but who had
eyes and ears apparently for every
thing and everybody else. He watched
him for ten minutes, until at last their
eyes met. Then he sat down and
kicked the box back to its owners. He
touched the Pathan's broad shoulder.
The man smiled and bent his turbaned
head to listen.

he sits he hangs his head between

The Pathan got up and strobe for

the elbows that leaned on it and laugh
ing when the owners cursed him. H
stood on it and stared for five minutes

SCALES AND ACCOUNT BOOK
Demonstrate That Dairy Cows Are
Very Responsive to Neglect or
Shortage of Feed.

The scales and the account book
show that dairy COWS are very respon-
sive to neglect or shortage Of feed
during the changeable fall weather;
and that it is far more difficult to re-
turn them to a gaining basis than it is
during other seasons of the year. Cows
are naturally declining in milk yields
during the fall months, so it is i'm
portant that they have good care and
liberal feeding to counteract the nat
ural tendencies.
