know where most of them were. Only
his youngest visited them occasion

One evening the generaHforem in
the shed informed Oscar that he would
have to go on the night shift or get
back on the truck, with day gang.
He was not as accurate as he used to
he and there was not so much rush at
night. Oscar was fiabbergasted.

all my years of service to the COM

'Is isn't my fault, Oscar" replied
the foreman. Il am pushed for results
and unless push somebody else get
pushed out. Anyhow" he said, try
ing to be funny, you are now an old
man and you might as well work
nights as be home" jabbing Oscar in
the ribs with pencil.
Oscar had to take the night job.
But he caught cold and almost died
When he was able to leave, the house
again, Oscar was a wreck of his for
mer self. He went to the company's
office and reported for work. The
boss informed him that his place was
filled, but if he waited while there
might be something for him.
Oscar haunted the company's en-
ployment Office, but there was nothing
doing. Strong young men, full of en-
ergy, laughing and joking, stood with
hooks on their shoulders waiting for
the Z o'clock whistle to blow every
morning, as old Oscar made his daily
application for work. But why should
the company hire an old man when
young blood was available?
Unless you get job soon," said
Molly to Oscar one morning after he
returned from a fruitless quest for
employment, 81 don't know what we
will do"
Tears came from Oscars eyes. He
thought of the distant days when he

And how she admired him What

care of itself. They lived good lives.

Oscar McNapp was as hne speci-
men of Scotch-Irish-Americ human
ity as ever slung a hook over his
shoulder on dock or tipped roll of
print paper on hand truck.
At the age of 26 Oscar looked for
ward to a long and happy life for no
reason whatever. He was in good
health and his unusual strength made
him popular with every gang fore
man in the freight sheds where he
worked.
Up at six in the morning, with an
hour for lunch, home at six in the
evening, stopping for beer on the
way-that was Oscars daily schedule,
And when he had his supper in the
clearinghouse and washed himself, he
was off with the lads FOR an evenings
quiet drinking or perhaps he would
visit Molly Anderson, the Swedish
living-out girl that Oscar met one day
at the beach and got to know, as
young people will.
There was nothing Oscar liked bet
ter in the line of work these days
than to tackle a carload of hay with
good gang and empty 1t in jig time.
In the freight sheds the hay gang was
envied. But it was no job for weak
lings. There were five in the gang.
and they had four cars to unload be-
/ fore noon. One man breaking out the
hay-sometimes it is packed so tight
and swollen with moisture that it is
almost impossible to open the doors.
Another man at the pile on the shed
floor and three men on the trucks.
With a good bunch of lads the four
cars could be emptied by II a. m. and
the boys could adjourn to MacHooli-
gan's pub and have the dust in their
threats washed away by ~ noon when
the whistles blew for lunch.
Oscar got tired Of the boarding
house grub and it's social atmosphere
after his nineteenth visit to Molly. He
was a rather devil-may-care fellow
and hated the idea of getting married.
But he changed his mind Indeed, it
was Molly's charming society rather
than what she served Oscar from her
employers larder that urged him to
put a ring on her finger. Which he
finally did.
The boys from the shed were at
the wedding and Oscar was wished all
kinds of good luck, including unlim-
tied progeny. Oscar did not disap-
point his friends What could a poor
fellow do? Neither one had heard of
Nautilus and both were catholics.
Settled down in tenement fiat
within a ten-minute walk from the
freight shed, Oscar started the second
lap of his life. Things seemed much
better now. The work was just as
hard. The pay was just as small.
1T is as easy to feed two mouths as
one" Tim Mulligan used to say, but
Oscar did not think so, after what

Journalists Enthusiastic.
New York journalists who saw the

Arts Guild, were enthusiastic, but did
not put their opinions into print to
help batter down the censorship.

graphically and beautifully presented.
The armed cruiser Prince Potemkin
lay off Odessa when the 1905 revolu-
ton was attempted in Russia against
the car. The sailors heard of the
stirring ashore and rebelled against
their harsh officers, bad conditions
and particularly the maggoty meat
which the ships doctor passed as fit
food.
When the officers ordered the shoot
ing down of disconnected ones, one
sailor cried out to the firing squad not
to shoot their brothers and the fight
was on. The sailors seized the ship
from their officers and threw them
overheard along with the wormy meat.
They elected a committee of 26 to
take charge.
Revolt at Odessa.
But the sailor who had cried
Brothers, had been shot dead by the
chief officer before the latter was
seized. The sailors body was taken
ashore at night--one of the finest
pieces of Photographic artistry in the
film--and left on the fsherman's dock
with an explanatory note pinned to
his breast. All day long lines Of work
ers, men and women, filed down the
seemingly endless steps and out the
breakwater to view the body.
Then the cossacks came and all
night there was firing in the town.
Workers were shot down in cold
blood-helpless mothers and children.

ever Molly had saved was gone. Not
that Oscar was spendthrift, but what
could fellow save out of SO week?
He had his schooner of beer as usual
but he missed the weekly trips to the
burlesque show. 1t was not the right
kind of place to take decent woman
to. So Oscar and Molly began to go
to church on Saturday nights. 1t was
a cheap way of killing time.
Molly often suggested to Oscar that
other men were getting along and
making money. Oscar was not dumb.
He secured a job as freight clerk,
but the company did not raise his
salary.
The boss said: "Oh, hell; anybody
who can write his name can do this
ok" "a
1t was a cleaner job and Oscar did
not have to wear his overalls. He
would stick his pencil behind his ear
and swagger home So the wives of
other freight handlers could see him.
Molly was proud of this for while.
1t was nice to have, a clerk" for a
husband while the other women had
just laborers.
Pretty soon Molly began to get dis
satisfied. She was going to have a
baby and increasing the population is
costly luxury. The priest told Molly
that god was kind toIhRr. Oscar was
rather proud of himself, tho there
vas nothing unusuallabout being the
father of a child
The baby came along. 1t was bap-
tized. This cost money. The priest
got his and Oscar had to celebrate.
Yet everything was still good. Be-
cause Oscar was young and Molly
was, still desirable. She would meet
ter husband at the door when he came
from work and skip into the kitchen
from whence came an agreeable odor
of roast beef, or bacon and cabbage.
Oscar would then feel that he amount
ed to something, tho he often felt
like knocking the boss head off when
he bawled him out because the gang
did not empty the car on time.
Oscar would tell those things to
his wife sometimes. II am no slave
driver and nobody will ever see me
rushing the gang" Oscar would say
proudly. Molly would say nothing,
but she thought much, Another child
was coming, but Oscars pay remained
stationary.
~
Year followed yes and Oscar and
Molly grew old.i Seven children were
born to them. The four eldest were
now working. The girls were stenog-
raphers and the boys worked in gro
Gerry stores. Oscar, thought one Of
the boys should be a priest and the
other a doctor. He thought the girls
should become nuns or marry business
men. Whatever they did was little
good to Oscar, because they had their
own troubles. Oscar was still working
in the freight shed when he was So.

DIFFERENT CAUSES
FOR POOR MATCHES

Many small factors In the manage
ment Of the flock can often AFFECT the
results which are attained In Matching
eggs. With the present development
Of the incubators the expert operator
Is usually able TO secure good results
II the original Matching quality Of the
eggs Is satisfactory. In the large
hatcheries It Is often observed that
different trays Of eggs run side by side
will show a marked difference In the
number Of chicks Matched. The rea-
son for this difference lies In the orig
inal eggs.
Some OF the factors that help 70
secure satisfactory eggs for Matching
are as follows:
Mature breeding stock The usual
age agreed upon is nine months. Many
prefer females in their second year.
Plenty of male birds. Many sup
ply one cockerel to ten hens. but the
majority agree that one cockerel to
fifteen hens is sufficient with the light
breeds
Remove diseased birds from the
heck.
Birds which are otherwise confined
should be given an outside runway
when it is possible to do so without
endangering the health of the birds
Direct sunlight should strike the
birds.
Birds should be comfortably housed,
Floors should be covered with a lit
ter OF straw and changed whenever It
shows any indication OF dampness.
mustiness or filth.
Artificial light should not be used
to stimulate laying for go days pre-
vious to date of saving first eggs for
Matching.
A balanced ration of approximately
equal portions OF scratch feed and
mash should be furnished
The hens should be supplied with
some type Of green feed such as man
gels or spreuted oats as well as hop
pers filed with oyster shell and grit.
Regularity and good care for q
month or six weeks prior to saving
of eggs as well as during the period
OF saving of eggs for Matching. COM
bined with the above essentials
should produce eggs which will h0tch
a high per cent of live chicks.

Big Value of Soy Beans
for Production of Milk

In some OF the recent experiments
reported from the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station. ground soy beans
were found to be similar IN effect
in the ration to linseed meni, and Of
somewhat greater value for milk
production. Soy-bean hay was found
to be more valuable for milk pro
duction than alfalfa hay. The ground
soy beans do not appear to have any
effect on the quality Of butter when
fed In reasonable quantities, al
though with some cows they tended to
increase the percentage OF butter fat.
Since the development Of oil fac
tories in Illinois. the feeding OF soy
bean cake from which the oil has been
extracted is likely TO be considered
more practicable than the feeding OF
the whole ground soy bean.

Turkeys With Diarrhea

DIarrhea is one of the prominent
symptoms of blackhead In turkeys,
though IT may also occur from other
causes. 1t is pretty safe guess that
blackhead is present when diarrhea
appears and the turkeys begin to drop

crosses. No remedy Of any consider.

trouble. Each turkey may be given
a dose Of castor oil. one to two tea
spoonfuls, when any looseness OF the
