THE FARMER MAKES FRIENDS
WITH BILLY MINK.

THE farmer under whose wood
L pile Billy Mink was living did
a lot of thinking after he guessed
that it was Billy Mink that had driv-
en- all the rats out of his barn into
his house. IF I could get that little
brown rascal over here to the
house," thought the farmer, Il
would soon be rid of those pesky
rats. But how am I going to do it?
If he doesn't know that those rats
are over here he certainly will not
venture any nearer to the house
than that woodpile. And If he cannot
get into the henhouse to steal my
chickens he won't stay around here
very long because he will have little
to eat. The thing for me to do is to
see that he has plenty to eat and
learns where it comes from"
So the very first thing the farmer
did the next morning was to put
some scraps Of fresh meat just
outside the woodpile. 1t didn't take
Billy Mink long to find them. OF
course the farmer was out of sight.
He was in the barn peeping through
a crack. He saw Billy come out
from under the wood and sniff at
the pieces of meat. It was clear

Our private fortunes. public veal.
In some swift movement Of the

Are swept away, and men declare
That fate has caught them unaware.
But nothing happens in a night,

It is announced, il far or near,

Some little fissure in the wall
Before the levee's ramparts fall,
And ev'ry nation that has been
First had its enemies within.
For be tomorrow what it may,
That was determined yesterday.

For nothing happens in an hour,
A revolution or fiow'r.

With admonitions of the rain.

THERE are, of course, some men
l. and women who are seemingly
incapable of manifesting warmth In
their affections. In fact such per-
sons seem singularly devoid OF abil'
ity to give or attract love. Luckily
they are few and far between, but
you may be called upon to analyze
hands in which this deficiency must
be included in your delineation OF
character.
The Thumb Of Little Affection
The thumb which indicates this is
usually inclined toward length rather
than shortness. The first or nan.
Joint is invariably stubbornly rigid
under backward pressure. And me
first and second joints are straign'
and of even lengths. Often the

The third, or palm, joint is

ing mark, however, which enables
one to place this type Of thumb UNI
besitatinply in the category OF the
'loveless," is the fiatness Of the I'm,

Joint. This is sure to be notable py

ate for most occasions, especially IL
the filings are novel and tasty. Here
are few suggestions which are cas-
lily prepared and may be used for
lunch box or party:
Put a dozen dates and one-fourth
pound of peanut brittle through a
food chopper, mix thoroughly and
spread on graham crackers. Cover
with another cracker and press firm
ly together.
Crush half a dozen chocolate
creams with a wooden spoon, add a
tablespoonful of cream or rich milk
and stir until well blended. Spread
on vanilla waters, cover with a layer
Of grape jelly and top with another
wafer.
Crush a dozen coconut bonbons in
a bowl, add two tablespoonfuls Of
orange marmalade and mix well.
Spread on soda crackers, cover
with another to form sandwich
and toast in a hot oven. Serve
hot and crisp with cupful Of tea.
Place large marshmallows on SAL
tine biscuits, put into the oven until
the marshmallow has melted. Re-
move from the oven and sprinkle
with finely chopped candied cher
ries and walnuts. This is an open
sandwich.
A most delicious filling for an aft
ernoon tea sandwich is grated maple
sugar, finely chopped blanched al
monds and cream to mix to the con-
sistency to spread.
Jellies of various kinds make most
delightful filings for tea sandwich.
Beat the jelly until smooth, then
spread very lightly on thinly but
tered bread.

cotton is harvested today ex-
~ actly as it was when Eli Whit
ney invented his cotton gin way
back in 1893. Negroes shuttle among
the cotton plants. plucking the fluffy
bolls. by hand and stuff them into
huge bags they drag behind them.
The ordinary worker picks about
a hundred pounds Of seed cotton
day, for which he receives about
60 cents.
Great strides have been made in
harvesting other crops. But in cot
ton little progress has been made
since Revolutionary times.
Now, John and Mack Rust, two
farmer boys from Texas, have just
brought out a machine to pick cotton
automatically. Engineers have
been trying to build such machine
for 30 years. The International Har-
vester company is supposed to have
spent $4,000, 900 on cotton-picking re-
search. If the Rust brothers sue
coed, it will be the greatest in
vention of this decade.
John Rust got his idea for the
picker watching his grandmother
at her spinning wheel. She moist
ened her wheel to make cotton stick
to it. Rust uses smooth, wet spind-
les to fan through the cotton plants,
picking clean each boil en- route.
In trial tests, the Rust machine
has picked as much in an eight-hour
day as diligent picker can gather
in an eleven-week season at about
half the cost. Cotton planters be-
.lieve that if the machine proves
practical, as they think it will, they
can grow cotton at a profit if the
price drops below five cents per
pound. a.

that Billy was suspicious. He went
all around those scraps of meat
and the farmer could tell by the
way he moved that Billy suspected
a trap.
But Billy found no trap. OF course
not, because there was no trap. At
last he ventured to seize one of
those scraps of meat and darted
back into the woodpile with it. A
few minutes later he was out again
just as cautious as before. So, one
by one, he took the scraps Of meat
under the woodpile. The farmer
smiled as he saw the last scrap dis
appear. He knew that Billy had
enough for a good meal and that
with a stomach well filled he would
probably take nap.
This is just what Billy did. Be-
fore he fell asleep he kept wonder
ing about those scraps of meat and
how they happened to be so handy.
Its funny" thought Billy, show
that meat happened to be right
there. I wonder If that farmer could
have dropped it. If he did, I hope
he'll do it again." With this, Billy
went to sleep.
Just at dusk Billy awoke. He was
hungry again. He began to think
of. those hens over in the henhouse.
Then he remembered the trap he
had found over there and decided
he would keep away from the hen
house. He decided that he would
60 over to the barn to see if any Of
those rats had returned; And then
all of a sudden he remembered that
easy breakfast he had had that
morning.
Instantly Billy popped his head
out from the woodpile. He didn't
really expect to find any more
scraps of meat and you can guess

Who Discovered America?

livery schoolboy is told that
IL Christopher Columbus discover
ed America. And every schoolboy
who believes that is wrong, for al
though Columbus was the first man
to set foot on the New World, he
did not touch the mainland of either
North or South America on his first
and second voyages Of discovery.
On his third voyage, in August.
1893, he discovered the South Ameri-
can continent in what is now Ven
ezuela. Little suspecting that this
was really the terra firma for which
he had searched SO long, he thought
it was only another island off the
coast of southern Asia. ma.
In his earlier voyage, Columbus
had touched at Cuba and other is
lands in the Caribbean sea. Before
he reached the mainland, however,
an Italian merchant in the service
of Henry VII of England named
John Cabot had explored along the
coast of Labrador and as far south
as Chesapeake bay or Maryland.
But neither Columbus nor Cabot
ever suspected that they had found
a new world. Both believed they had
merely opened up a new route to
western Asia and the Indies, and
that the land they had discovered
was a remote and wild part Of the
far East. That is why they called it
the West Indies.
Columbus even thought that Cuba
was a western tip of Asia. The is
land was not circumnavigated un-
til two years after his death. The
only bit of land now under the
American flag that Columbus ever
touched was Puerto Rico, which he
first named San Juan Bautista.

Ancient Machine Guns

MODERN machine guns are
AVA about the most destructive
weapons used in modern warfare.
Capable of firing 800 bullets min
ute, they can sweep an open field SO
fast that no human being could hope
to get across it alive.
The machine gun, invented by
Hiram Maxim, is usually thought
of as very recent invention. Act
ually, however, the Romans had
their ancient equivalent of it long
before gunpowder had even been
thought of. The polybolos, first built
by Dionysios Of Alexandria, was a
crossbow so constructed that it was
capable Of shooting 30 to 40 arrows
a minute. The tension string of the
bow was operated by crank. The
arrows came out Of funnel above
the arrow groove, and each time
one was fired, another slipped au-
tomatically into place. The machine
could be operated by one man.
Reconstructed models of the poly
bolos are surprisingly accurate in
their aim, the only defect being that
it had to be trained on one spot.
so there was no scattering" Under
certain circumstances this was an
advantage, like preventing the enc
my from climbing up scaling lad
ders or escaping through q gate.
This and other ancient weapons
such as the hurting" sling were
once considered so dangerous that
the church and the laws Of some
countries condemned their use.
Some Of these weapons were in
deed dangerous, such as the horn
bow which could shoot an arrow
1000 yards, an achievement which
cannot be equalled by the heavy
Colt revolver used in the American
army.
