IN THE MIDST OF LIFE

The jester won to the mountain peak
And turned to gaze behind
WAS that a path for a step so weak?
Thank God that l was blind.
THE sunlit stretch where I laughed SO
loud,
hid IL skirt that ~preciptce?
The bridge where l stood TO sketch the
cloud,
Did II spar that black abyss?
When I turned aside to the little stream,
Was the somber tarn so near?
Was the eagles swoop in the evening
CLEAN
On the bones I see from here?"
He faced to the front again; his sight
Could scarce discern the track:
The slope on the left with mist was
white,
And the wood below was black.
In a hollow just ahead
The pathway crept along
Enough Is hid for mirth," he said.
And the curlew heard his song.
-E. T.. Hopkins.

HOUSE POULTRY
COMFORTABLY

Comfortable quarters should be fur
nished the pullets as o o as they are
ready to start laying. The poultry
house Is both the home Of the hen and
the factory where winter eggs are pro-
duced. Unless it provides suitable liv-
ing and working conditions the hen
cannot accomplish satisfactory results,
says T. b. Townsley of the University
Of Missouri college of agriculture.
Comfort is the important essential of
a poultry house. To provide comfort
the house must be dry, well lighted
and we'll ventilated and have sufficient
floor space to furnish exercise by
scratching. 1t must also contain Sleep
ing quarters that are clean, well rel
tilated and yet free from drafts. All
these conditions can be met In one
room. thus economizing in the expense
Of building.
Ventilation in a poultry house Is Sc
cured by leaving the south side rela-
lively open and making the other sides
tight. This provides plenty Of fresh
air without drafts. Where possible,
light should be admitted from all
sides. This prevents dark and
eliminates the nuisance Of having the
litter all scratched to n side, which
occurs when light Is secured from only
one direction. Exercise Is insured by
keeping the floor covered with several
inches of straw, and feeding all grain
In this litter. The roosting quarters
should be compact and comfortable.
They car be made easy to clean by
placing all roosts on a level at the
north side Of the house and by arrang-
ing q platform underneath the roosts
to catch the night droppings.

Leaping Tuna, Dolphin and
Marlin Swordfish Plentiful
off the California Banks

Another world record in big game
fishing was shattered In the Catalina
island waters when James w. Jump
recently landed a 314-pound marlin
swordfsh In % minutes with light
tackle. Not only Is this unprecedent-
ed with light tackle, but the fish was
near the Tuna club record for a sword
fish on any tackle. The biggest n
ever caught was In 1916. which weigh
ed 362 pounds.
Not in many years have the deep-sea
fighters been so plentiful as recently
off the famous southern California
banks. Great swarms of yellow-tail
and other light tackle prizes have been
frequent. The leaping tuna, dolphin
and marlin swordfsh, varying In size
from so to over 100 pounds. have been
plentiful. w. G. Boschen Of New York
is credited with capturing 90 tuna and
8 swordfsh for the season. His near
est competitor Is James w. Jump
Of Los Angeles. with Sc tuna and IL
swordfish. Ralph Vandeni holds the
record for the season with the largest
tuna caught. 1t weighed 149h
pounds.
Prizes to be awarded by the Tuna
club for the largest yellow.tail, white

seq bass will go to novices in the big
game fishing sport from all parts of
the country. some of whom have
previously caught anything larger than
n fair-size trout.

Doughboy Thought He Saw
BOChe Haunting Him While
Washing His Stolen Shirt

Near q bridgehead on the Moselle
river, which marks the border Of Rhen-
ish Prussia and along the banks of
which the American army rested for
q few days preparatory TO It's peaceful
invasion of Germany. there sat a
doughboy on guard duty.
His assignment of two hours watch
the bank on the other side to glance
up the road to see whether the relief
squad was in sight. He muttered and
growled occasionally to himself and his
eyes took on a fierce CLEAN as he
watched the other side of the river.
His whole attention was focused on
a German soldier calmly washing an
undershirt al t. " river edge. The Ger
nan rubbed ant scrubbed. held the
shirt up, WI ing IT. out and then rubbed
some more. He paid not the slightest
attention to the tense American dough
boy on the other side.
The doughboy looked Over his rife
every few minutes and fingered the
trigger meditatively. Then along came
a Red Cross car with cigarettes and
other comforts following the troops
into invaded territory.
whats the trouble" inquired the
Red Cross man noting the d~oughboy's
effectiveness to the figure on the OPP
posite side.
swell l tell you" said the dough-
boy. "In the Chateau-Thierry fighting
| took off my undershirt during a
short rest to hunt for several coolies
that were bothering me. The Boche
made a counter-attack and took the
place before l had time to put on my
shirt. One Of the Germans stole 1t.
| just got a bunch that that guy on
the other side of the river was the bird
that took 1t, and / think he's washing
1t yer there to tease me. He's been
washing that shirt for half an hour
now. And here I stand with a loaded
gun and can't shoot. The war Is hell,
but this armistice stuff"

Alaska Has Proved a Good
Investment for the u. S. A.

Alaska has been worth much more
than its cost to the United States. A
half-century ago Alaska was purchased
at q cost of $7,2OO.0O0. and that orig
inal investment has been returned to
the nation more than seventy fold. for
from the products Of the land and sea
Alaska has added to the national
wealth upward Of $500.000,000. the
greater part Of which has been pro-
duced during the last 20 years. Two
,ources Of !erge and steady income are

Clothing Price and Style
to Remain Same for 1918

Conservative members Of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Clothiers,
who recently held a peace time read
justment conference in Chicago, de.
clared there will be no advance in the
price Of clothing for 1919. 1t was
said that the price levels Of the
fall Of 1913 might be expected to be
maintained. One prominent manufac.
turer said there is no demand for
new styles In mems clothing, and that
the numerous styles that have been In
use will be continued with the mill

from all the districts attached to or
controlled by the United States sent
to the minis during 1913 new gold to
