and kissed me three times while her
soft hair threw it's golden veil over
our faces.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you," she
said as she drew away from me and
shook back her hair.
"Golly this is fun!" 1 said.
''Now go to sleep and I'll tell you
a story" said she.
Then she told pretty tales of fair
les and of grand ladies and noble gen.
tlemen who wore gold coats and
swords and diamonds and silks, and
said wonderful words In such a won
derful way. I dare say it prospered
all the better in my ears because of
the mystery by which it's meanings
were partly hidden. l had many
questions to ask and she told me what
were fairies and silks and diamonds
and grand ladies and noble gentlemen.
We sat down to one of our familiar
dinners of salt pork and milk gravy
and apple pie now enriched by sweet
pickles and preserves and frosted
cake.
A query had entered my mind and
soon after we had begun eating
asked:
"Aunt Deel, what is the difference
between a boy and a grip
There was a little silence in which
my aunt drew in her breath and ex-
claimed, "W'yi" and turned very red
and covered her face with her nap
kin. Uncle Peabody laughed so loud
ly that the chickens began to cackle
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunkelberg also covered
their faces. Aunt Deel rose and went
to the stove and showed the teapot
along, eXclaiming:
Goodness gracious sakes alivei"
The tea stopped over on the stove.
Uncle Peabody laughed louder and
Mr.. Dunkelberg's face was purple.
Shep came running into the house
just as / ran out of it. 1 had made
up my mind that 1 had done some
thing worse than tipping over what
not. Thoroughly frightened l fled and
took refuge behind the ash-house,
where Sally found me. I knew of
one thing 1 would never do again. She
coaXed me into the grove where we
had another play spell.
I needed just that kind of thing,
and what time it was for me! A
pleasant sadness comes when / think
of that day-it was so long ago. AS
the Dunkelbergs left US l stood look
ing down the road on which they
were disappearing. That evening my
ears caught a note of sadness in the
voice of the katydids, and memory
began to play its part with me. Best
of all remembered the kisses and
the bright blue eyes and the soft curly
hair with the smell of roses in it.

New York, Sept. 0.--Amerlca well
coined General Pershing home. Hon
orednsby foreign rulers and govern
ments, the commander-ln. n.chief of the
mightiest army that ever fought itS
way to victory under the Stars and
Stripes, returned To his own folk to
meet greater honor than any for
eign potentate or power could confer
the thanks of the worlds greatest
democracy to the man who had
planned the decisive blow In democ-
racy's supreme fight against tyranny.
The stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron self-control amid
the slambles of the Meuse and the
blood-dreDched forest Of Argonne was
not proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roarcd from
hundreds of thousands OF throats and
the hearts of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion as
he responded to the greetings extend
ed by Secretary of War Baker In his
own behalf and that Of the President
as well as the welcoming addresses OF
House, the state and city.
As his ear passed slowly through
the cheering multitudes which jammed
the roadway from the Battery TO the
city hall, Pershing attempted in vain
to mniniain his composure. AT first
he replied to the cheers with the stiff
salute which military etiquette de-
mands but he was soon carried away
by the storm of applause which swept
IN great gusts about him. Rising to
his feet, he waved his cap above his
head with n boyish gesture which told
how deeply he wis stirred, while the
grim lines OF his bronzed fuce broke
lnfo a smile which was as infectious
as II was rare.
"The American 'doughboy' is the
finest soldier In the world, and II
didn't take the Germans long to find
II out declared General Pcrshing In
an Interview granted newspaper men.
"Wr boasted little probably of the
peculiar qualities Of the American
fighting man. hut his nggrcssiveness.
initiative and devotion ms member
Of the American cSpediiionnry forces
gives us every right to boast and to be
proud of him." the commander said.
Il suppose II is because Of the way
the American boy Is raised. due to the
fact that he is encouraged to develop
his initiative and that he feels nt any
crisis OF his life that he Is mnster OF
his own destiny"

Eggs Travel 5000 Miles
From China to New York
BY the Way Of Vancouver

Eight thousand miles to market is
a long way for even staple foods to
travel. but when eggs make such
long trip 1t Is 'going some" These
eggs. $500 cases Of them, came NIL the
way from China to New York city, via
Vancouver. and travelled slowly by
boat and train.
When they arrived at New York they
were examined by representative of
the bureau Of markets, department Of
agriculture. who reports that the eggs
were packed In cases similar TO the
ones used In domestic trade but made
Of heavier material, resembling pine,
of about the same thickness as is
used In domestic export cases. The
average net weight Of eggs per case
was about 40 pounds.
The Chinese eggs were Of deep
brown color and slightly smaller than
the average domestic egg. The ship
ment showed losses of from 12 to 18
eggs per case. Under the light, some
Of the eggs showed quite heavy
shrlnkage, while others were very full.
The whites were weak In number of
eggs. and when they were broken show
ed very watery, though the eggs were
sweet, and the yolks stood up well.
The shells Of these eggs are much
thicker than the average American egg
and the yolk is of n somewhat deeper
color. When candled these eggs are
said to make first-class cheap eggs for
the use Of bakers and hotels md for
cooking purposes. As received, before
Gambling and repacking, they sold at
about 3 cents below the quotation for
firsts.
China is one Of the principal sources
Of dried and powdered eggs. Manu-
facturers Of prepared products In this
country are said to be Interested in the
possibilities of dried and powdered
eggs, especially in view Of the increas-
ed use Of such products In ready-mixed
fiours and in bakeries.

Atlantis. the island once great and
populous that was overwhelmed by the
sea because the people Of II had an
gered the gods. There may have been
such an island lost In seismic con-

ingenious Farmer Devises
Fly Trap to Brush Pests
of Herd Of Dairy Cows

A fact not fully appreciated even
among farmers Is the economic loss In
milk production caused by mosquitoes
and files. An Ohio dalryman owning
20 cows devised home-built fly trap.
and after II had been In operation a
week calculated the difference In milk
production. He was obtaining II gnl-

quito scourge Is sometimes so bad as
TO destroy the profits In milk produc-
tion. Some farmers use home-devised
trnps. as did the Ohio dalryman. Some
wash their herds with preparations.
manufactured commercially. which ef-
fectively reduce the pest. But the
great majority OF herds continue to go
through the fly season protected
against flies only by the weapon with
which nature equips them-the tall
