wish:
'T think I'd like to have a brick Of
Ice cream"
As one the three men leaped up and
dashed away. Theirs not to reason
why, theirs not to make reply. The
witch Hazel desired brick Of ice

be first with the brick to win the ben

Nip and tuck they ran TO the soda

Kills Her Husband Trying to Keep Him

AYEW YORK.-A frail little woman in
IN her twenties sat in police head
quarters and sobbed out confession
that she had poured carbolic acid over
her husband as he slept. She was Mrs.
Alexandra Sokolowsky, widow of
Frank Sokolowsky, widely-known or
ganizer in the American Federation of
Labor, who was murdered on the morn
Ing of June 26. And she relates the
following remarkable story:
1--WE were married nine years ago
and were happy for three years. Al
dona, my daughter, came and we were
together and working for each other.
We lived most of the time in Brooklyn.
"He had been away two days and l
knew that he had been with another
woman. He was so good looking and
such a great admirer of women.
"He had come home a little after
midnight. and when 1 accused him OF
having been out with another woman
and told him / had found a love letter
In his pocket, he told me l must leave
him alone and that he was going out
again.

/ OS ANGELES.-This city invented

and is proud of It Now Los Angeles
has taken fall out of old d. G. L.
by inventing the barberia, which will
soon be as popular as other establish
ments whose principal feature is that
the customer waits on himself.
The barberia was conceived in the
brain of an old-time barber who began
to worry over his loss Of trade when
the increased prices went into eff
feet. Investigation showed him that
his old patrons were shaving them
selves, and 1t struck him that 1t would
be a good idea to establish a shop
where these new self-shavers could
be supplied with all the paraphernalia
necessary to do their own operating.
1t proved an instant success, and in
two or three months seven other bar
Der shops in the city had been convert
ed into barberias-or barberiae. To

Table Was Completely outeiasssd
BY Little lsabei.

To eight-year-old Isabel ever since
she has been able to lisp has fallen
the honor in her family Of saying the
blessing at meals. Consequently she
was indignant the other night when at
supper her father transferred this
privilege to a clergyman who was a
dinner guest.
Isabel had already clasped her hands
and was bowling her head preparatory
to starting the prayer when her father
took the fatal step:
'Mr. Finderkin," he said, will you
say the blessing?"
Isabel shot baleful look at the
guest, but warning expression of her
mothers face silenced the protest.
Apparently submitting. Isabel bowed
her head and her lips moved swiftly as
Mr.. Finderkin murmured the blessing.
The prayer completed, Isabel lifted
her head beaming triumphantly.
II said the blessing six times while
you were saying 1t once" she told Mr..
Finderkin.-New York Evening Sun.

when suddenly Soper gasped that he
had been struck by rattler.
The nearest town was 10 miles
away. Having had some training as
nurse, the girl knew that only by
sucking out the poison could she save
his life. She knew, too, that any
abrasion in her mouth, any decayed
tooth through which the venom might
enter her system. meant her own prob
able death.
She applied tourniquet below the
sufferers knee to prevent the poison
from spreading. Then she made cut
across the purple dots which marked
the entrance of the reptiles fangs to
give a larger bleeding surface. This
done she applied her lips to the wound.
When no more blood could be drawn
the party carried Mr.. Soper to their
automobiles and drove to Cocoanut
Grove. The physician there declared
that Miss Holstein's quick action saved
the clergyman's life. Although gan

This probably as much as anything
else will give some idea Of the state
OF mind Of the Western Canada farm
er, as he watches the tally from the
thrashing machine while his wheat IL
being carried to the elevator.
From all sections of the country,
the most optimistic reports are re-
ceived, the local and city papers are
filled with reports from twenty to thir-
ty bushels Of wheat to the acre, while
in some places oats are showing q rec
ord Of as high as 120 bushels to the
acre.
Referring to Saskatchewan, It Is con-
hdently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 125 million bushels.
Heavy rains which fell In districts that
did not promise so well In July, had
greatly improved the prospects there,
and there Is no question that paying
yields will be produced. The yields
in the eastern part of the province
may not show to the advantage that
will those of the western part, but
too much cannot be said Of this, for 1t
is the results as they come from the
machine, and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There is now every reason to believe
that the wheat crop Of the three prai-
rie provinces will approach 250 mill
lion bushels.
Alberta win exceed the 70 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably

in any Of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in a
recent report gave the opinion that 1t
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that 1t might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most of the wheat in the province
when the report was written, stood
well up to three feet high, and on
some fields was still higher The re-
port goes on that in parts Of South
ern Alberta forty and fifty bushelssto
the acre yields will not be uncommon,
while there will be a good many yields
of from thirty to thirty-five bushels
to the acre.
In the northwest part of the prov
ince, in the country surrounding Bat
tleford and adjacent to the Canadian
National Railway line to Lloydminster.
and south the crops are excellent and
the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
is being thrashed in Manitoba. 1t has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 225 5,OOO.0 600 bushels, and 1t may
be that somewhere between 250,OOO.-
900 and 300. 900, 900 bushels will be the
final figure.
Oats is a good crop In all three
provinces. This crop has also grown
rapidly during the last two or three
weeks. Excepting from those fields
which were sown late for green feed,
the yield will be heavy and the grain
excellent Barley and rye are above
the average. There was sufficient help
to harvest the crop.-Advertisemen
