WHAT TIE REALLY WANTED
Mans Encouragement Of His
Companions Singing.

Two men were seated AZ table In
a saloon. one of them annoying the
other customer. by his maudin at
tempts TO sing something that had n
strong German air. although the words
We're apparently English. The pro-
prietor approached.
Cut out that singing in here" he
demonstrated. This amt no ANA
teur night for cabsrets."
The singer subsidized and took an
other drink, but his companion urged
him to continue. expressing great ad-
miration for the air.
What do you mind the likes Of
him forT' he asked. Sure, it's fine
song. Go ahead with it."
The resumption Of the disjointed
notes brought the proprietor TO the
table again.
See here. you" he began. with
rap Of his knuckles on the table, 'cut
that singing right now, or I'll have you
thrown out"
Standing not far off to be sure that
the selection was not continued the
proprietor overheard the second man
urging the singer to go ahead and after
another drink the song was resumed.
Stepping up to the table with fire in
his eye the boss addressed himself to
the second man.
why do you keep asking him to
sing?" he demanded. III you are
so stuck on his singing take him some
where else and listen to 1t all you
like"
Singing" retorted the other. 81

Gold once Little Valued,

Rev. DR.. w. =. .Griffis says that 1t Is
historically true that In early japan
there were houses rooted with gold.
For centuries, he says, gold had little
more value in Japan than in South
America when Balboa sought the Pa

only four times - much as silver.

Az present it would ae futile for any
one to present either the bonds or the
coupons for payment il was pointed
ont for tellers have the serial num-
bors firmly in mind.
However. as time passes and the
rumlsrs are forgotten, one of tn"
$4,000 bonds may he given as col
lateral for a loan on margin when
would cause no hesitanCy on the part
Of a broker or banker. In this way
az much as s2G0,0 900 may be realized
on the bonds. OF course, the treasury
department would refuse payment
eventually.
Neither the Pinke-ton nor Burns De-
-ective agency had been advised OF
the loss at a late hour last night.
The Seventh federal reserve district
comprises all Of Iowa, the northern part
OF Illinois. southern part OF Wisconsin
and Michigan and part of Indiana.
Company Believed Loser.
As the bonds were of such a large
denomination. OF consecutive serial

lieved in financial circles the loser
was either a bank or trust company.

livery on the final payment.
II. c. Burnett of the bond Depart

say that the loss occurred on the ar
ternuOn of Jan. I.
IF the bonds are presented for sale,

wired other banks.
The bank each month prepares
large list Of bonds reported lost or
stolen. but the present loss represents
the largest reported in this district.

The boy denied that he read and as
serted that when he was off alone that

The best and most efficient way to
get ideas is by reading-and it makes

Town Has Long History.

Mannheim isn't an old town. The
village that preceded it dated back a
thousand years, but the real Mann
helm has just entered it's fourth CEN
fury. 1t was founded by Protestant
refugees from Holland, who gave it
a strongly fortified castle and brought
no end of trouble on the place. . Dur
ing the Thirty Years war that castle
and the town were taken and retaken
no less than five times. In 1894 it was
in the hands Of the French and then
an Austrian army bombarded it so
severely that scarcely building was
left unframed. In 1903 a grand duke
had the Notifications RACED and Mann

FOWLS IN WINTER QUARTERS
Careful Handling While Moving Will
Prevent Setback in Proper
Production of Eggs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The ideal way to manage laying
hens is to have suitable houses at
maturity, with other yards or ranges
suited to the flock while growing, and
have each flock of layers occupy the
same quarters all their lives. If pull
lets must be moved from the quarters
they have occupied during the grow
ing season every effort should be made
to make the change as little disturb
ing to them as possible. The method
OF removal will not be the same for
all cases and conditions. Each poul-
try keeper must consider the situation
as it exists for his stock and adapt his
treatment to the circumstances.
Make the Change Early
In general it is desirable that pull
let's be in the houses they are to oc-
cupy during the winter three or four
weeks before they are expected to lay !;
but IT the pullets are on a good range,
and placing them in winter quarters
would deprive them of this and make
it necessary to put them on winter
ratfOns several months earlier than if
they remain on the range, it may be
better to leave them in the small cOOps
in which they were grown until win
ter. Then, if they are moved gently
and carefully, and special attention is
