SANDMAN STORY
BY Mrs. r. A. Walker.
Protected By George Matthsw Adams.
BRAGGrNG LITTLE ROOSTER.

Mrs. Henny Hen had largo family Of
chickens and am sorry to tell you
that sometimes they did not behave, but
pecked and flew at each other, quarreling
Just as some little children do, bothering
their mother very much.
Little Rooster Chick thought because
he was the brother that he was Drawer
than the sister chicks, and he also thought
they should mind him and do just as he
told them.
of course, this made sister chicks very
angry and caused many quarrels, but
one day something happened which
changed al this and made little Rooster
feel very foolish.
One warm day Mrs. Henny Han took
her family under the bushes out OF the
heat and told them to keep quiet, but
little Rooster began to brag that the
was very brave and that some day he
would be the cock of the yard and that all
the Others would have to obey him.
II shall drive out all tho other rooeters
and shall have all the com want to eat
before let any of the hens eat q bit.
said little Rooster.
II guess you will have to be Drawer than
you are now" said one sister chick. 81

the other day and Mother had 10 drive her
away"
'1 wasn't afraid of that old puss,

WHY?
Why Does an Egg Get Hard When Boiled?
Copsrig 1910. by
wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

II we drop an egg, the inside OF which il
viscous semiliquid substance, and {
potato-a finn, hard vegetable product
into the same kettle of boiling water
everyone knows what will happen. The
white and yolk OF the egg will harden and
the potato will get soft and mealy. The
reason for this apparent phenomenon lies
In the difference of the structure Of the
two objects. The potato contains q large
amount OF starch, which abeorbs the
water, and. aided by the action Of the
heat, finally burste the jacket. The ex.
panding of the starchy articles coupled
with other chemical reactions, results IN
the softenIng of the fibre.
An egg, on the other hand. is lacking in
starch. One of its principal ingredients is
albumin, which, when heated TO the TEN
perature of boiling water, becomes a solid,
Just as would the albumin IL our own
blood which is closely allied to the white
of an egg. It's owing to the difference
ID chemical construction, therefore, that
an egg is an exception to the general rule
that boiling will soften things or make
them tender

LETTERS OF TEssTE AND JOE
Desr Tessie

Dear IeSsle:
The crime wave that il waving over the
country reached this neck of the woods
yesterday. The litney bus that / was
riding In was held up by bird with re-
volver and pair OF automobile goggles,
and | was relieved OF SD In money and a
wrist watch In jewelry. In speaking of
being separated forever from that wrist
watch you gave me when they took me 10
camp to manicure potatoes and massage
pots and otherwise teach me to be a
the case mo relation to the watch case,
Joke because of all the things ever pos
sessed In this world that I'd be glad TO get
rid OF, that wrist watch would only come
second TO my rheumatic knee, and even
with theS22 that went with it / consider the
whole transaction a bargsih.
Not that 1t wasn't all right - wrist
watches go, but they don't. And besides.
now that the war is over and ali the hard
boiled birds In the world have taken off
their wrist watches, this is again free
country and every man is entitled to do
Just as he chooses, SO If he chooses to wear
a wrist watch he brands himself as hu-
man ladyfinger aud is liable to stop half
brick with the back Of his head. think
I've told you enough to make IL plain
to you that I'm not hinti ng for you to send
me another wrist watch to take the place
of the late unlamented one that's now
floating on the crime wave.
Speaking Of the crime wave / hope and
pray that no part Of il will be traced to
recklessness brought on by general indiges-
ton caused by eating Daisy Canned
Soups. OF course there are those who
think anybody reckless enough 10 expose
themselves to D. e. Soups would be reck-
cheered on by Indigestion, but anyway,
that would be the last straw. It's got so
now that instead of placing more orders
my customers are asking me to take back
ID. G. Soups at discount. 1t is aIeat life
if you keep your health
Well. kind thoughts and give the baby
rough kiss from me.
Joe.
