and gallant part.
In the United States there is prob
ably not a city which cannot boast Of
racing-pigeon faEciers, while clubs and
associations for the advancement and
enjoyment Of the facinating sport of
racing the birds are being constantly
formed in Eastern Western, and To
some extent in Southern cities. Lofts
Of homing pigeons are maintained by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture at the government poultry
farm at Beltsville. Md. and the de-
partment holds membership in the
Washington Racing Pigeon club. a
branch of the American Racing Pigeon
union. Many of the Washington club
races flown during the past summer
and fall have been won by Department
of Agriculture birds. which number
about $50.

long flights. The young birds are
usually Matched I'm February and
March. During the time when the eggs
are being incubated and the young
cared for. only one of pair is trained
each day. On alternate days the other
IS shipped to the training station. In |
this way the breeding Is not interfered |
with. and the eggs or young are never |
left without one or the other of the /
old birds.
In the beginning of the training the /
birds are conveyed in n basket not
more than six or eight blocks from
their lofts to an open spot away from
buildings. The basket is faced toward I
the loft and the birds liberated at
nnce. At this distance pigeon spe-
cialiSts advise practicing them from

step is to select the route over which

FALSE vANITVs FORTUNES.

Master Thoughtfulness knew quite
well that the boy and the grill adven-

what a joke it would De. She would

| She stopped looking at herself in
the pool and looked at the girl, reach
ing out for her hand.
The girl gave Madame False Vanity
her hand and looked at her She
| seemed TO look more artificial than
ever, her hair looked as though she
had dyed it, and her face looked as
though she had painted it with a
brush. 1t seemed to the girl that
Madame False Vanity was unattrac-
tive because she was so unnatural.
Gaze into the pool" said Madame
False Vanity
The girl gazed into the pool and she
looked quite different.
Hear what she has to say" wills
pered Master ThOughtfulness rbut
don't believe any Of it. for she is a
dreadful creature for not telling the
truth. She likes everything that is
false. And she does a great deal of
harm. You'll see"
Are YOU talking about me?' asked
Madame False Vanity of Master
Thoughtfulness. You're such
thoughtful soul that you are probably
warning this boy and girl not to be-
lieve me.
Nov, what is the use of that, Mas
ter ThOughtfulness?
"Why not let them get all the fun
they can by believing they're beauti-
full and lovely and fine and that they
will be rich and splendid and noble.
"Ah," said Master Thoughtfuness
you have seen that you couldn't fool
this boy and this girl, and so for one
of the few times in your fortune-tell-
ing life you've been quite honest.
You tell fortunes to people, and

Isn't it fine" said Master Thought
fulness to himself, that this boy and
this girl can't be influenced by False
Vanity: Sometimes. no matter what
l say. her manner and her way makes
folks do as she says, and then they
go on through their days and nights
natting themselves on the back and
saying that they're wonderful, when
they're not in the least, and when
they're making no effort to improve
themselves"
