LOVERS REFUSE TO PART
Pennsylvania Girl Burns Self to Death
as Sweetheart Dies by
Bullet.

Northampton, Pa.-Two lovers. Nava
Newhard, sixteen years old, and Pal
mer Lilly, nineteen years old of North
alnpton. Pa, died in tragic manner
as the result, it is asserted. of q sui
eide pact. The parents of the girl had
refused to permit her to accept the
attention of Lilly.
The young people walked to Hover
town. a mile away from their home,
where they sat down by the roadside
and ended their lives. The girl, with
the assistance of her lover. it is
thought, set fire to her dress and was
burned to death. Then young Lilly,
according to the theory of the coroner,
shot himself several times through the
head. dying few minutes later.
The pair left note on the ground
in which they told of their purpose to
die. as they could not live apart.

Farmer Of Today
Hs Opinion l. Sought and
Respected

Urban sophisticatiOn in the cities
poked fun. before the war. at the
farmer. He was supposed to be un-
couth and gullible-a child Of nature.
He chewed straw and pulled his
beard and creased his boots and rose
by lamplight, and was man with a
hoe among the herds and orchards, a
man to whom the great round world
was a blank page or a distant myth.
Now that is changed. says a writer
in the Philadelphia Ledger. The far
mer is an applied scientist. whose opin-
ion is sought and respected, with
whose hand, as it is busy or idle, is
the feeding or starving of the nations.
For millions during the war life has
been grim, unmitigated quest of
food. The farm has had to yield by
intensive cultivation many times its
former produce, and marketing in hap
hazard ways has had to yield to me-
.hodic and speedy transportation.
Farm work and farm life today utilize
every last development of engineering.
The machinery has revolutionized
farm labor, and electricity and gaso-
line are the greatest Of all hired
hands. The motorcar, the tractor, the
dairy machinery. the telephone are
commonplaces where once they were
unknown.
The demobilized fighter no longer
regards indifferently or scornfully the
chance the farm holds out to him.
The fields are clamoring for him
fields where the battle is for life and
not for destruction.

Rubies and Sapphires Are
the "JeweIs" in Watches
Higher Value Than Diamond

There are in every good watch from
Z to q "jewels." Some of them are
rubies, others sapphires-two kinds
of gem stones rated much higher in
market value than the diamond. These
sapphires and rubies, furthermore,
must, to serve the matchmaking pur.
pose, be flawless.
The watchmakers get them cheap.
because the gem stones used for this
purpose are Of inferior color and bril-
liancy-useless even II they were big
ger. for jewelry.
A watch is said to ''run' on so
many stones. The more valuable the
timepiece the greater the number of
stones used in its makeup. The tiny
gems, pierced to receive the axles of
wheels, offer a minimum of friction,
and do not wear out easily.
Enormous quantities of these watch.
jewels are cut in Switzerland. To
each stone is given a rounded form
with q hole through the center.

Great Scientist, Scholar,
Thinker, Usually Not an
An Around Good Fellow

There is always danger when any
one concentrates that the concentra.
ton will be carried too far-so far
that 1t produces narrow, one-sided
and warped point of view. observes
IA writer. The great scientist, the
great scholar and great thinker in any
line. is usually not an all around
good fellow" Grabbed" "queer,"
peculiar" ''odd." ''funny," and
''warped"-are these not the adjec-
tives that generally describe the ge-
muses. of the world?
The very effort to concentrate on
the one subject which has brought
success has made it impossible to
keep in touch with the thousand and
one currents of thoughts and topics
of conversation which go to make up
comfortable and easy-going life.
Like the old sea captain, these &c.
muses. miss something in their effort
to fix their attention on one thing.
In spite of this danger, 1t is a good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood of becoming one.sided is big
where genius is concerned, but then
1t can be excused. Most of us can
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep in
touch with the world about us.

So everyone listened to the story the
African porcupine had to tell; 1t was
little story Of his own ideas and so

African porcupine to himself, us very

HE doesn't care for the zoo. He
says it is so very fine where he comes

MY home is in Africa, as anyone

"They name me well-the African
porcupine. It's good name. a good.

about me.
Now. little girls and little BOYS are
often so foolshly named. If they were
just called North American tall thin
boy. or South American short fat girl,
1t would he SO much easier.
"How is one to know anything from
the name Of Sally. or Susie, or Kitty or
Jane. or Donald. or John, or James

one speaks of friend named Jack

A new series Of experiments, which

The work, which is being done by

Antipathy Shown to Kings

Early American playing cards, &C.
cording to an article in the American
Printer. showed the national antipathy
to kings and queens by presenting, in.
stead of the conventional figures with
which playing cards are now adorned,
the following pictures: "President of
hearts, George Washington; of dia-
monds, John Adams; Of clubs, Benja-
min Franklin; Of spades. Lafayette.

Ceres and Minerva. The knaves were
represented, appropriately rejecting
the general feeling among the whites,
by pictures of Indian chiefs.

HINTS FOR POULTRY

Tenants and other persons desiring
temporary shelter for poultry would
do well to consider a straw shed
house. according to T. s. Townsley of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture. Such house is very
simple to make and will serve as ex-
cellent quarters for poultry during at
least one winter. If supporting
frame is built before thrashing time it
Is no extra trouble to blow the straw
from the thrashing machine over and
around this frame to form a shed
completely closed in with straw on all
sides excepting the south. A support
ing frame can be easily made by set.
ting post for each corner of the pro.
posed shed and placing across the top
of these posts heavy poles to form the
supports for the framework of rails
boards or light poles, which will hold
up the straw. After the straw has
been thrown over this frame front
such as Is used on any modern poul-
try house can be built on the south
side. This front should include some
open space and some windows to pro-
vide ventilation and furnish light. The
inside of the house may be equipped
with dropping boards, rOosts and
nests, just the same as any other poul-
try house. A straw shed house of this
type 20 feet square on farm near st.
Peters. Mo-. furnished shelter for 1875
hens. These birds came through with
out frozen comb and laid all winter.
II such house becomes infested
with mites during warm weather the
birds can be allowed to rOost outside
during the summer months and a new
house can be built each thrashing
time.
