CATCHING Monkeys.

The well-knOwn habit of monkeys to
initiate the actions Of man is cleverly
utilized by wild-animal catchers in TAX
ing the agile, climbing creatures cap
tive, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The hunters method is to walk
about for some time within sight Of
the wild monkeys, wearing short boots.
Then the boots are taken off and gum
is placed in their bottoms, after which
the men withdraw from the scene. Be
fore long the curiosity Of the initiative
watchers In the trees gets the better of
their caution and they descend and
start to try on the boots, whereupon
they discover that the footwear cannot
be removed and. being unable to climb,
are easily captured.

PIONEER LIFE IN MISSOURI
Was "Fine for Men and Dogs" but
Undoubtedly Also Hard on
the Women.

! "In Pioneer Families of Missouri"
is printed a letter written by woman
to her sister in Kentucky, the Kansas
City Star says:
"The men and dogs have fine time,
but we poor women have to suffer. We
pack water from one-haf mile to one
mile for cooking and washing. My adj
vice is stay where you are. But If you
see anyone coming to this country,
send plank cradle for poor little Pat

hard bumps, lying in a cradle George

Of wood for pillow. George and at

preacher, a hard-shell Baptist, had q
long buckskin overcoat. The groom
was in his shirt sleeves, with white
cotton pants that came just below his
knees, and white cotton socks and
buckskin slippers ON his feet. The
wasted, short-sleeved white cotton
dress that was monstrous short for
girl like her. She had on buckskin
slippers and her hair was tied with
buckskin string, which is all the go
here. And when the preacher was
spelling and reading the ceremony
from the book, the girl commenced
sneezing and the buckskin string
slipped off her hair, which fell all over
her face. and everybody laughed"
An early marriage ceremony in Liv-

Strono NEGATIVES.

: There is one great advantage about
keeping both glass and film negatives
In envelopes made of transparent pa
per-that the negative can be look ed
at and identified without taking 1t
out of It's envelope. More negatives
are damaged by being turned over to
find some particular one than by the
lapse of time, and the transparent en-
velope protects them from injury from
this source. A system Of filing and
cataloging, by which any negative re-
quired can be found with minimum
of disturbance of the others, also tends
to prevent damage.

SAVE THE HENS.

Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first of May means
a loss of about 80 eggs to the food
supply of the Nation. These eggs
are valuable food, manufactured
largely from insects, weeds and
grass, garbage and waste. The eggs,
therefore, are almost wholly a net
gain in human food. Moreover, the
hen is just as good meat after she
has laid these eggs as before.
Save the hens is the message that
the United States Department OF
Agriculture is sending broadcast
through press notices and posters
and through its county agents, espe-
cially in the Southern poultry-rais-
ing sections.

I is always uplifting and wholesome. as
can be fully attested by those who saw
"Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" and
some others OF the kind in seasons past.
In Mother Careys Chickens one finds
a character study Of the ideal American
mother, in much the same manner as Re-
becca was the portrayal Of ideal child
hood. So many have read and enjoyed
the original book, the basis ofsthe COM

The daughter Nancy discovers in an oven
an old letter which leaves the house as

his father. from whom the Carey's have
purchased. So at one time it seems as
II the house was not their own, as they
expected. John Hamilton, who is % the
day that the house warming occurs, ar
rives there from China. He looks for
the letter he is advised to seek, which,
unknowingly he picks up and destroys IN
the fire. Finally all find out how matters
stand. Hamilton becomes engaged to
Nancy Carey. and all, as usual, ends in
happiness.
The story is a wholesome human ap-

ways has an uplifting influence Such
plays are delight and serve to relax
the mind and furnish food for the hes,

The cast was an admirable one through
