Hot One from Our Kxfiinngea
Man's Utile Day
First thing a fellow knows at morn
He's born;
Then, say, at ten o'clock, the next
He's vexed
By readin', 'rltin', 'rlthmetlc,
Till sick.
At noon he has to go to work,
Or Bbirk.
Then, 'round 'bout two, he takes
for
life"
I A wife.
From two till time to bring In lights
He fights
And struggles with his fellowmen,
Adn then
He sits around a while and thinks.
And blinks.
j And when at last It's time for bed.
He's dead.
W. W. Whltelock.
Smile a Few
Here, you discontented knocker,
Growlin' 'bout the country's ilia,
Chloroform your dismal talker
Take a course of liver pills.
Stop yer durn eternal howlin'.
Chaw some sand and git some grit,
Don't sit In th edumps agrowlin'.
Smile a few
And boost a bit.
Fall In while the band's aplayin',
Ketch the step and march along.
Stead of pessimistic brayln',
Jlne the halleluiah song.
Drop your hammer do some root in,
Grab a horn, you cuss, an' split
Cvery echo with your tootln',
Smile a few
And boost a bit.

He Stuck to the Claim
A homestead shack on the dreary
plain.
Shaken and pelted by wind and rain.
Deserted and wlndowless; gone the
door,
Thru which glad voices will never
more
Be wafted out to the rose-decked
plain.
For the homesteader folk will not
come again.
Poverty, drouth, and much ill luck
Killed their gladness and sapped
their pluck.
So the old shack stands on the drea
ry plain.
Shaken and pelted by wind and rain.
A neighbor who lived Just over the
line
Almost starved in the homesteader
time.
But be stuck to his claim thru thick
and thin,
And, Behold! Great riches have
come to him.
His shack Is a farm house large and
wide.
With a huge red barn that stands be
side,
His granaries full; and the town
folks flock
To see his place and his pedigreed
stock.
He looks sometimes at the lonely
snack
Across the line of the railway track
And wonders what became of the
poor old duck
Who might have been rich had he
only stuck.
Sintehla.
"Now," said the farmer to the new
hand from the city, "I want you to
clean up the pigsty and the stable
and the henhouse and all the other
houses of the stock."
The new hand worked vigorously
for a couple of days. Then he ap
peared before his employer with both
eyes nearly closed, bis mouth swol
ten and red lumps all over his face
and neck and hands.
"Gimme my money," he said, "I'm
a-goin to quit."
"What's the matter?" said the
farmer.
"I don't know what's the matter,
said the victim, "but It happened
when I started to clean the beehive.
"Yes," said Uncle Eben. Just
turned from a trip to California.

Breathlessly he rushed Into the
barber shop. His hat, collar and
necktie were off In a trice, and he
sprang Into the chair over which old
Frlti presided.
"I want a shave and a hair cut,
and I have only fifteen minutes," he
said.
Old Frlti stopped to consider. Af
ter a few seconds, he asked:
"Vltch do you vant the most?"
"A shave."
The shave took about eleven min
utes. As Frits removed the towel from
his customer's neck, he said:
"Mine friend, don't nefer again
ask a barber to cut your hairs and
shafe you In fifteen minutes, pecause
some time you might find a barber
vat would do It."

Vaccine FurnKbwd) to Cattlemen
Persons who graze eattle on the
national forests are daily making a
large number of requests of forest
officers for blackleg vaccine, which
la supplied free of cost to those who
have cattle grating permits. The
vaccine is furnished by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
For several years past the depart
ment has furnished free to cattlemen
who are permittees on the forests
this blackleg vaccine. In order that
they may protect their herds from
the losses caused by the disease.
Before vaccination against black
leg was introduced the annual loss
es to the stockmen were very heavy
In some cases running as high aa 60
per cent of an owner's calf crop. The
disease is confined principally to an
lmals between the ages of 6 and 18
months, comparatively few being at
tacked after they are a year and
half old. Calves vaccinated before
they are 6 months old are not ren
dered Immune for more than a few
months and must be re vaccinated
hence stockmen wait until their
calves are past that age before vac
clnating. A better practice is to
vaccinate the calves at the age of , 4
to 6 montns, again at 1 year of age
and still again one year later.
Vaccination., however, is not
