Mistakes will happen in the best

the number Is slightly deaf, so while
1t sounds rather cruel to print, the
following incident wasn't nearly as
funny as 1t sounds:
The slightly deaf person met an old
acquaintance OH the street. This old
friend was always making big deals
and telling Of them. When he stopped
his deaf acquaintance he began talk
ing excitedly. The slightly deaf man
listened, but didn't understand word.
When the acquaintance had finished
he said:
Congratulations. That's fine.
Mighty glad to hear it," supposing. of
course that his friend was telling him
of the successful consummation of
a big deal. The acquaintance slight
ly taken back by this, shouted that
perhaps he didn't get him. With n
rather long look upon his face the
slightly deaf man replied that maybe
he didn't. The acquaintance shouted
as he started away: II sny I buried

TO REST IN SEA.
Peculiar Rites at Burial of Jap
anese Sailor.
Impressive and pisnified, Though to
Western Minds the Ceremony
Seems Rather Theatrical.

The poop deck in the rear of the
ship was cast In mysterious shadows.
The big wheel, the edge of the deck
above, and the forms of men and
women made sharp silhouettes against
the sea. shimmering under the tropical
moon. A long line of black clouds
could be seen in the blue-black sky
Just above the almost invisible horizon.
The throb, throb Of the ships heart
and the swishing of the water past
the stern were the only sounds, save
an occasional whisper as passengers
and crew quietly assembled to pay
their respects to the dead.
Above the propellers, narrow
white-draped platform had been
raised. slanting over the rails toward
the water.
In front of this was white-covered
table on which, barely distinguishable,
were rice with chopsticks, Il dish OF
fruit, dish of almonds (the favorite
food Of the deceased) and vase con-
tanning scent sticks, which glowed in
the darkness like group Of tiny red
stars, throwing off wonderful fra
grnnce on the torpid atmosphere.
Suddenly Il sharp wind swept the
deck, sending the white cloths Tapping
as though anxious to break the un-
canny silence.
From the deck above came the voices
OF Japanese sailors, and shufiling of
feet down the steps.

white sail-cloth, heavily weighted.
After placing the corpse on the plat
form they fell into their places in the
long white lines of passengers and sail
ors, leaving narrow passage in front
of the table.
A bell tinkled, the engines stopped,
and the captain, grayhaired man,
walked slowly forward. Bowing low
before the body he chanted the speech
to the dead In a choking voice.
His voice rose and fell, now almost
wall, now dropping to low sulien notes,
now soft, comforting tone. The line
of figures. on either side, swaying
backward and forward In balance with
the ships motion. seemed to keep time
to the cadence.
The captain then reverently placed
glowing scent stick In the vase as
sign of his affection. The remainder of
the officers slowly approached in pairs

of the crew stepped forward and

TAMPER FOR FILLING sILoS
Automatic Device Installed at Oregon
College Does Work in Sue
cessfui Manner.

An automatic tamper used in filling
silos has proved successful at the
Oregon Agricultural college. The
tamper is the first one used in the
state. 1t is said to increase the Ca
pacity of silos packed In the ordinary
way so per cent. Not only does 1t
pack uniformly, but 1t Increases the
keeping qualities through closer pack
ing.
II works as small steam roller
which runs around on top of the en-.
silage as 1t is fed into the silo. The
operator handles the tamper and the
feeder at the same time, therefore
cost Of operation is not increased.
The capacity of the silos at Oregon
Agricultural college was increased
80 1-3 per cent over the previous rec
ord of close packing.

Neglect of harness results in injury

more than one-third of the arabic
lands of the nation. Before buying
farm it would be well to inquire of
the department whether or not 1t had
made survey of the locality. If so,
and the report has been published. it
may be had for the asking.
1t may be that in deciding to buy n
farm definite type of agriculture has
been determined upon. Some ques-
tions will arise. Where can land best
suited for that type be found? Upon
what soils can rice growing be safely
and profitably undertaken, or the pro-
duction of tobacco of the various kinds
be followed, or the raising of hogs
with alfalfa pasture as a feature in
their management be engaged in?
Perhaps you would establish COM

bark upon the growing of long-staple
cotton In South Carolina, or specialize
In the production Of asparagus. pep
pers, tomatoes for canning, or lima
beans in New Jersey. The results Of

About 10 80 p. m. he rose from the
table murmuring something about
sending message to his wife to the
effect that he would not be home that
night.
An hour later, as he had not re-
turned, some of his friends went in
search of him. They looked in the
lounge. the conservatory. and all over
the place until someone remembered
his remark about q message.
Lets look In the phone box" he
suggested.
They looked-and there he was in a
heap in the corner. They woke him
up.
"Thank heaven!" he sighed as he
opened his eyes. "Some one has come
to bail me out at last"
