Porch dresses that bring you

nice things
That are sure to make you

Was there ever so great a
bazaar before?

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A.. Rad

H., and only inclose two-cent stamp for
reply.
Comparatively high prices for meat
animals and low prices for grain and
feed have made breeding and feeding
livestock a profitable business during
the last year. At least. farmers are
getting a great deal higher price for
the grain they produce by marketing
it on the hoof" than by selling it as
grain.
OF course, during the summer the
cattle or hogs are allowed to run In
the feed lots, where forage is plentiful
and the ~self-feeders supply the fat
making rations that the animals re-
quire in addition 10 the grass they get
from the pasture. But In winter a
weather-proof stable is necessary to
protect the animals from the cold
winds, which take their vitality and
force them to use up much of the
food they consume for bodily warmth.
That Is why successful cattle breed
ers and feeders have such a barn as is

WHERE PORTER GOT NAME
Latest Story Would Appear to Be tho
True One, and Destroys Old H.
fusion, Says Writer.

The origin of the pseudonym 20
Henry" signed to the w%ell-known sto-
ries of William Sydney Porter, Is
arousing no little excitement. The
sIntelligentsia'' are investigating. In
France. 1t is rumored, experts agreed
a long time ago that Porter found his
pen name in a medical book and re-
Gently, In America, a biographer OF
Porter's offered a very plausible
theory as to the source of the gifted
writer's non-de-p plume.
Back In 1858, a book for chemists
and druggists, signed by Ossian Henry,
pere, and Ossian Henry, fills. was a
common possession of country apoth-
ecary shops and 1t is known that Will
liam Sydney Porter began his literary
career as a drug clerk In the hinter-
land Of Texas, North Carolina and
ohio.
The deduction. then. Is just this:
Porter had occasion to use such a
book was struck by the brevity and
oddly Of the name of the authors !;
wanted a fictitious writing signature
and adopted that OF 20. Henry"
Too bad! Too bad! Such a solu-
ton skaters. completely. the rumor
that Porter cribbed the frontispiece OF

liked It with that popular alphabetical
exclamation. .O."-Washington Post.

TRAINING AGAINST DIZZINESS
Most Steeplejacks and 5ridge-Buitiers
Have to Become Educated to
Extreme Height.

There is nothing more curious IN
the makeup Of mankind than the mat
ter OF having a head for climbing
about at great heights Some children
are born with 1t, and are like monkeys
or squirrels, IN that they never know
what Ii is to be giddy.
But cases of this sort are very rare
md. as a rule a long apprenticeship is
required before anyone can stand or
work unconcernedly on tall buildings,
or climb high mountains. Edward
whymper, one Of the greatest moun
taineers who ever lived, and the lead
err OF the first party to ascend the
Matterhorn had. as a boy a wretched
head. He could not stand on a house
roof without holding m.
He cured himself by lying on the
ledge of the great tower of the cathe-
d-a. Of Notre Dame In Paris. and star
ing down into the street for an hour
at a time. Most s~teeplejacks and
bridge-buiIders have TO become edu-
Gated to heights In similar fashion.
Some people are affected by running
water as others are by heights. and
are moi to he trusted on the edge of
a swift river. Quite against their
win. they are forced to walk over the
edge.
The whole question of giddIness Is
a puzzle. The contributor. whose head
for heights Is so bad that he cannot
walk along q ledge thirty feet above
the street. has looked down from an
airpIane hundreds OF feet up. on Ia
pointed roofs far below. without the
slightest degree Of giddiness.
