approximately 91eo greater than those
Of the corresponding period OF 1884,
according to figures made public by
the Seattle branch Of the Ford Motor
company yesterday.
However, more significant is the
record this branch established on July
10th. On that date sales for 1885 had
exceeded those for the entire year OF
1884; noteworthy record inasmuch as
1884 volumes were the greatest in
several years.
Sales for this half year period, Of
ficials believe, is indicative OF the
countrywide trend toward lighter cars
and particularly toward the new 1885
Ford VS.
1t is expected that during the month
Of July another 100000 units would be
sold throughout the country, marking
the fifth consecutive month in which
sales have exceeded that figure. The
July figures locally promise to be bet
ter than those of June and it is antici-
pated that August will produce results
greater than either of these two months
Ford sales this year clearly substanti-
ate the opinion expressed by Henry
Ford early last December that his COM
pany would build more than one mil
| lion cars during 1895.

Flip Gets a Sore Nose.

that Chuck hurt. They hurt a lot
But this didn't stop Flip. No, sir, it
didn't stop him. Back he went, deter
mined to get that Chuck, drag him
out and shake him to death. He
didn't stop to consider that the ad-
vantage was all with the Chuck, but
it wouldn't have made any difference
if he had Failure just made him all
the more anxious to succeed. It
seemed to Flip just then that there
was nothing in all the Great World
he wanted so much as to triumph
over that Chuck.
Now, as have told you before. that
Chuck was big, strong and young.
Moreover, he was no more of coward
than was Flip. At first he merely re-
sented being attacked by Flip and
was content to be on the defensive,
nipping Flip sharply when he could.
But as Flip persisted the Chuck grew
angrier and angrier. What business
had this fellow to be trying to kill
him? 1t wasn't for food, as was the
case with Reddy Fox That he could
understand. but not killing just for

this Dog lesson. Yes, sir, he would
so. He would teach him that he
couldn't go about annoying other
people without paying for it.
So the next time Flip entered he
was met halfway, and that Chuck
didn't retreat one step. Instead he
began TO force Flip back wee bit at
a time Such snarling and growing
and swapping together of teeth as
there was in that hole! And some
how, it was Flip who seemed to be
getting the worst of it. You see, that
Chuck had a thick skin, and now that
he was so thin it was very loose. 1t
afforded Flip very little chance to get
hold where it really hurt On the
other hand. his own skin was some
what tender and not at all thick.
Finally the Chuck got him by the
nose and held on. Flip hurriedly
backed out, yelping. The Chuck held
on and was dragged to the very en-
trance. There he let go. Flip backed
away several feet, barking, and in
between barks whining. He had a
sore nose, very sore nose.

the mattress. There are from three to
four eggs, blush or greenish-White,
we'll bespeckled with grayish brown.
The nest is built before the snow Is
out of sight and the young birds are
soon capable of taking care of them
selves. BY Winter, they have the
same plumage as their parents, and
almost as large.
The tuft of feathers on either side
of the head may be erect and is found
only on the males. There is a patch
of black on the breast and a horn
shaped one under the eye. The fore
head, eye and ear region are yellow,
as is the throat. The back of the
head, rump and back are a grayish
brown. Tips Of tail feathers are black.
The under parts are soiled white,
with dusky spots.
AS soon as domestic duties are over
the horned larks gather and with a
thoroughness hard to SurpaSs they
clear the area of weed seeds, waste
grain and insects. Vegetable food is
preferred, about 80 per cent. The 20
per cent is a meat diet that consists
of May beetles and their plump larvae
(juicy white grubs) leaf beetles, chlnch
bugs, clQyer-root weevils, pill bugs,
cutwormS and grasshoppers. Glancing
over this list you can see what an
asset these horned larks are and they
should have protection.
