LITTLE KNOWN OF ST. MARK
Facts as to History Of Evangelist Have
Been Lost In the Passage
of Years.

st. Mark, the evangelist, is believed
to have been born of Jewish parents.
deriving their origin from the tribe Of
Levi. He is also thought to have been
sisters son" to the apostle st. Peter,
though some have confounded him
with John, surnamed Mark, Sisters
son" to st. Barnabas. He was prob
ably converted by st. Peter, and was
his constant attendant in his travels.
He is traditionally said to have found
ed the church in Aquileia, and there
to have written the gospel which bears
his name. st. Mark suffered on April

tyrdom is not precisely determined by
the ancients. st. Marks symbol is the

dignity of Christ; or, according to
other writer's, on account of his begin

POULTRY POINTERS

In the matter of selecting and car
ing for your breeding pens, it's i'm
portance should not be overlooked
as we take up our spring work with
poultry. The average poultry raiser
is careless in selecting his birds for
the breeding pen. 1t is too easy to
breed from the f1ocks as we have
them in the yards without selecting
the choicest birds and mating them
for best results. This haphazard
ways of caring for f1ocks do not OBJ
tain the best results
The correct selecting of breeding
pens is one of the most interesting
studies in the poultry business. 1t
is very essential if you would prove
your strain in standards and in egg
laying qualities and the selection of
your birds must be very carefully
made Healthy vigorous birds must
be chosen if you wish results. Never
use male bird that is too young or
old; one to three years are the best
ages and be sure he is we'll up to
standard in weight and full of vim.
The male bird is one half of your pen
as far as results are concerned
Again, don't use undersized females ;
be sure that they are good layers,
standard weight and we'll developed.
Study each situation carefully and
don't be in a big hurry in making
your selection. Work out each de-
tail and you will be better satisfied.
Your parent stock is the foundation
of your stock.
A few pointers for your considera-
ton may be worth money to you be-
fore The end of the Matching season.
Don't neglect mating early and get
them acquainted with their pens.
Don't fail to select your very best
hens.
Lon't overlook choosing your we'll
developed vigorous male birds.
Don't place more than eight females
with one male. This especially ap-
plies to larger varieties.
Don't overfeed them. Let them
rustic for their feed. You will get
poor results from over fat stock.
Don't neglect the water fountain.
Keep plenty of fresh water before
them at all times.
Don't let the eggs chill in the nest.
Gather them often if you want them
to hatch.
Don't keep eggs too long. Never
more than ten days and turn them
often. If left unturned too long they
will stick to the shell.
Don't place the eggs under the
hen until you are sure she is ready
to sit.
Don't allow laying hens free access
to the nests Of your sitting hens.
There are hundreds of other point
ers that should be remembered but
space will not permit at this time.
Begin now and don't neglect the es-
sential matters mentioned, and above
all, don't forget to boost for a poultry
club in Winslow or Navajo county.

SEES PICKWICK AS JOHNSON
Canadian Writer Believes Dickens
Famous Character Was Sketch
of the Great photographer.

2 A discussion has arisen between
E. R. Thompson In the Nineteenth Cen
tury and a writer in the Toronto Mail
and Empire as to whether Dickens
famous character of "Mr. Pickwick"
Is an adaptation Of the personality Of
DR.. Samuel johnson. The magazine
writer holds that this is the case: that
the novelist was inspired by James
Boswell's life of Johnson" and that
the alleged plagiarism is proved by
certain characterization of Pickwick
which comedies almost to word with
one of Boswell's descriptions of John
son.
The Toronto writer believes II
Dickens did copy his character from
the noted photographer he did 1t un-
consciously and without any attempt
to steal the fruits of Boswell's writing.
1t Is admitted that there are many
points of resemblance between Pick
wick and Johnson. Both were rather
portly, burly men. They had COM
mon weakness for the use of resound-
ing and dignified speech; both had
little difficulty in summoning immense
reserves of dignity to suppress the i'm
pudent or the fippant, and both had
great hearts.
'But," says the Mail and Empire
writer, 1--WE have not the imagination
to picture Doctor, Johnson disporting
himself on skates after the fashion of
Mr.. Pickwick, and there is sort Of
kindly credulity about the latter that
I'VE find distinctly lacking in Johnson.
Moreover, we never suspect Mr.. Pick
wick Of being a bully, although it is
to be admitted that when he orders
the skates of Mr.. Winkle to be re-
moved he shows a Johnsonian stern
ness and impatience with pretense."
