 rederick's Reply.

Frederick Wallace Grayston, age four, astounded and delighted his parents Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Grayson. of Huntington, one morning recently when he quoted Scripture to them.
 The family was having pancakes for breakfast and Frederick Wallace's plate was empty. His mother had two cakes, and was going to share with him, when his father suggested that he wait for the cook to bring in the warm cakes.
 Daddy" the small son questioned, do you remember what they told us at Sunday schoolfn
 Of course daddy wanted to know what was in the youthful mind, SO he professed ignorance.
 "Be thou kind, one to another" was the astonishing rejoinder.
 Dr. Grayson hastened to assure r. W. Jr., that he was not scolding, and got this answer:
 ''Yes, l know, daddy, but mother was going to be kind to me."-Indlan- apolis News.

 Ward glanced at Rattler standing half asleep with reins dropped to the ground. He reached out, took the reins and led the horse farther down under the shelter of the ledge. Rat. tier pricked up his ears at the sound of those other riders, but he did not show enough interest to nicker a greet. ing.

For that contingency he kept his fingers close to his gun. l He heard their scrambling progress. l Now and then one of the horses sent little rock bounding down into the canyon, whereat the cattle in the corral moved restlessly around the small in- closure
 They came closer after they had gained the top.

 l They went on, and presently Ward was looking at their backs as they rode over the ridge. He stood for some time staring after them with what Billy Louise called his gimlet look. He was breathing shortly from the pressure he had put upon his self control, and he was thinking, thinking
 The silence came creeping in on the heels of the faint, interrupted sound of their voices. Ward took a long breath, discovered that he was grip ping his gun as though his life depend ed on hanging to it and rubbed his numbed fingers absently After min ute or so he mounted and rode down to the corral.

Algerian Wines Taken for Army

In conformity with the instructions of the minister of general supplies, third of the wine crop of Algeria has been requisitioned for military pur- poses, says Consul Arthur C. Frost, Aleiers. Each wine producer is re- quired to turn one-third of his vintage into table wine for army consumption. The wine furnished must be of good quality and equal at least to the aver age quality of each producers vintage.

 Buck don't want to drag me up be- fore jury" he reasoned further. He d a heap rather pack me in all wrapped up in tarp and say how he'd caught me with the goods and 1 resisted ar rest"
 The assurance he felt as to what Buck Olney would do did not particu- larly frighten Ward even if he did neg feet to go to bed in his cabin during the next few days That was common sense born of his knowledge of the man he was dealing with. He went to the cabin warily, just often enough to give it an air of occupancy. He ire quently sat upon some hilltop and watched lazy thread of smoke weave upward from his rusty stovepipe, but he slept out under the stars rolled in his heavy blanket, and he never cross ed a ridge if he could make his way through hollow. It. Is not always cowardice which makes man ex- tremely careful not to fall into the hands of his enemy. There is a small matter of pride involved. Ward would have died almost any death rather than give Buck Olney the satisfaction of getting him. For a few days he was cautious as an Indian on the war trail, and then his patience frazzled out under the strain.
 At sunrise one morning, after night of shivering in his blanket, he hunehed his shoulders in disgust of his caution If Buck Olney wanted anything of him he was certainly taking his time about coming after it. Yard rubbed his fingers over his stubbly jaw, and the uncomfortable prickling was the last small detail of discomfort that de- cided him He was going to have q shave and decent cup of coffee and eat off his own table or know the req. son why. he promised himself while he slapped the saddle on Rattler.
 He was camped m sheltered little hollow in the hills. where the grass was good and there was q spring. It was d mile and more to his claim. straight across the upland, and 1t was his habit to leave Rattler there and walk over to the ridge, where he could watch his claim. Frequently. as 1 have said, he stole down before daylight and lighted fire in the stove just to make it look as if he lived there There was q risk in that. of course. granting that the stock inspector was the kind to lie in wait for him.
 Ward rode to the ridge with his blan- ket rolled and tied behind the canfle. His frying pan hung behind his leg. and his rifle lay across the saddle in

FOWLS EAT WASTE MATERIAL
On Some Farms Chickens Pay for Themselves by Destruction of ln-
 furious Insects.

CFrom the United States Department oi
 Agrtculture.)
 Chickens as q by-product of general farming find much of their feed in the waste materials that otherwise would serve no useful purpose. The atten- ton and labor they require can be giv- en largely even by children. and should not require the employment of addi- tlonal hired workers. On some farms the chickens practically pay for them- selves by their destruction of orchard and vegetable insects. On others they help to pay for themselves by their production of manure, which when properly used largely increases the value of the land. Fifty fowls will an- nually produce at least ton of ma- nure that can be made as valuable as commercial fertilizer.

LIMBER NECK IN CHICKENS

Llmber neck in chickens Is caused by

Limber neck in chickens Is caused by ptomalne poisoning from eating de- caying flesh. Where fowls run at large they frequently pick up dead rats. mice or other animals and in this way become affected with the germs, which quickly cause death. Whole fiocks are sometimes wiped out in the course of few weeks.
 Prevention is the best remedy. If you are losing chickens from this cause shut up the flock and feed them on sound, sweet grain and feed. A simple effective treatment Is to use permanganate of potash. Put an
