When Life Grows Broader.

God does not count prosperity as
we count it. Our sense of proportion
is largely shaped by our experiences.
When life is quiet and sheltered, and
the stream runs smoothly, we notice
every ripple and magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work. OUT small worries.
Then comes some grief. calamity, or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes everything. Our old interests
are dwarfcd and look so petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
trifes to burden our souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values. We
have new standards Of measurement
for our fellow men as we'll as our
selves

became despondent and hopeless when
he heard about the lmdeveloped Col

Wolcott began to curtail his calls
upon Mrs. Burrows and the latter in
fluenced by this and realization of
the vast gulf between them, tried to
root out the love that might bring only
disaDoointment and sorrow. They had

Judge was not in evidence, but they

"You do not seem as we'll as when
I last saw YOU Mr.. Wolcott," she said.

much of you,' replied Wolcott
bluntly.
'Is not that your own fault?' softly

Hens Go to College
To Support Students

WINSTED, Conn.-Garry Miles.
Sherman Ives, Clarence Vail and
their hens are attending Connecticut
Agricultural college together this
year. The boys are studying the
higher and more abstruse phases OF
farming, and the hens are devoting
their entire attention to the subject
of egg laying.
Their owners expect them to lay
enough eggs to provide funds for
four years of board and tuition. They
know the hens can do it. More than
that, they say, if the fowls will only
keep their minds on their work it
will be possible to send little
money home in the bargain.
Recently Garry and Sherman and
Clarence talked matters over with
their hens and decided to go forth in
search of higher education. They
visited the institution and before en-
gaging rooms for themselves hired
comfortable quarters for their fowls
Hens and students are installed at
the college, and all are doing salts
factory work The students believe
that in the academic atmosphere the
chickens will be inspired to greater
effort even than they showed on the
farm.
If they only do as well the trio Of
hen owners will live in comfort.
cSarry's 10 hens earned for him
$275 over all expenses in the last
eight months; Sherman's fifty-isX
birds gave him profit of 1904, and
Clarence, with 104 hens, cleared
$28574 in the same period. With
eggs at 81 a dozen, the college au-
thorities are confidently expecting an
endowment fund from the hen-sup-
ported students.

viii Ask Commission
To Issue Order Against
Whipping Of Convicts

At a meeting held Tuesday after
noon in the Chamber of Commerce
assembly hall, the Atlanta Humane
society decided to request the prison
commission to issue an order against
the whipping of convicts, and u
take steps to obtain the Introduction
in the Legislature of a bill prohibit
ing corporal punishment of con-
victS.
This action followed the reading
of a report of a special committee,
composed of r. f. White, Mrs. Ger
trude Y. Kelley and Mrs. Katherine
WeatherSbee, who have recently
made an investigation of the whip
ping of convicts, and who discussed
the matter with members of the
prison commission.
Under the rules of the commits
sion the wardens are allowed to whip
convicts as a last resort, and then
only ten ticks are allowed. Members
of the prison commission believe
corporal punishment is the only
method of dealing with incorrigible
convicts of a certain type. They DC
not sanction it except as a last re-
sort and are watchful to prevent eX.
cessive punishment.
The Humane society probably will
recommend that there be provided
a place for solitary confinement OF
incorri@ible prisoners.

Great Gathering of the
Wolves AuuurS Bad Winter

THE PAS, Man.-Large packs OF
wolves are rowing throughout the
northern wastes in search of the
cariboo herds and other sources of
food Although not ravenous the
packs follow dog trains for long
distances without offering serious
menace to the teams.
The huge number of wolves traV-
cling in the packs has surprised eX-
perienced trappers and hunters, who
say they never have seen anything
to equal it.
A few small packs have been seen.
At Herb Lake thirty-five wolves
were seen on the trail of herd of
moose and trappers gave chase, kill
ing seven of them. At Slit Lake.
the Indians have killed more than
sixty.
On the outskirts of The Pas, packs
have been seen, and the Indians and
old-time trappers declare that the
presence of so many wolves so close
to the settlements indicates long
and bitter winter in the North.
For the first time since the. year
1915 ptarmigan are seen about The
Pas, and the presence of this bird
convinces even the experienced set
tier that extremely cold weather is
in store. In 1915. the thermometer
descended to 81 below zero.

Road of EPSON Salts
Beinu Made in Texas

AUSTIN; TeX.--A road of Epson
salts is an attraction Texas can soon
hold out to tourists, according to the
state highway department.
Ten miles of road out of ROckport
are being surfaced with a. material
which analyzes more than one-fourth
EPSON salts. The material is OBJ
tanned from flats where constant
evaporation of gulf water has left
silt strongly impregnated with salts,
among which the Epson variety pre-
dominates.
Highway engineers say the mixture
forms an excellent road Surfacing
material. The salts abso,b enough
moisture from the air to keep the
roads damp, free from dust and firm
on the driest days. One trouble, how
ever, is that the road becomes very
slippery during wet weather, but this
is overcome by adding a small pro-
portion of shell and regulating the
slope of the surface

Goldfish and Salaman der Are

The opening of the vault is closed by
a black marble slab, upon which in
letters of gold are inscribed the
words, 'Beatae salamandrae sacrum.

horses in Florence. One of the
strangest of his pets. however. is
goldfish on which he has bestowed

these are the following, published by

eff the artistic temperament is the
hallmark of the self-conscious show

in many ways. He is the pOssessor.
for instance, of a wardrobe which
might make a Brummell envious.
Like the elder Dumas, he is a
rapid worker. On one occasion he
completed a play containing 5000
verses in seventeen days. He finds
that he works best at night, and his
usual procedure is to start after dim

on steadily until the following

fast, he retires to bed-for the re-
