smaller and smaller ribbons until at
last each ribbon begins TO look quite

may cause the farmer TO stop In the

to adjust the great harvester, when,
after all, it is really the fault of that
little piece of Irvine. Hence, although
there are from LOCO to 1900 spindles

drawn of from the spindles on big
machines, not unlike in general shape
the bobbins on a sewing machine. Each
bobbin is weighed and then whole

Age of Discretion.

People of mature years, not old people, understand but simply people out of the first flush of foolish youth, do occasionally get their innings. To be sure, they sometimes read in the public prints about ''an old lady of f1fty-five," which, though admittedly evidently absurd, is nevertheless dis turbing to the morals. And once in a while there is a manifestly erroneous head line about the e7death of an old man who turns out to be person just in his prime; sixty-two, say.
 But, as wesstarted to say, observes the Kansas City Star, there is balm in Gilead Pictures of A. J. Balfour, no Sir Arthur, no Earl Balfour, are now in circulation, showing him in an active game of tennis at Cannes. Ten his, as every one knows, is game for youngsters. No elderly person can cover a court. This gay young dog, shown chasing a ball with a racket, is seventy-four.
