take moro than any little o5 menRly million to keep him from helping to get
tho best paper over out on time a statement Indorsed by applause.
All day Exception had snipped lllmsles with tho relcntlessncss of that
other fato who does business" with shears. And now ho was scanning a first
issue, hot-caked from tho press which wns what the others wero doing also,
because confidentially If your own stuff gets by all right It doesn't matter
about tho rest of tho paper really.
And, as Exception read, it needed no seventh daughter of n seventh

humanely they stood for.
Tor that mntter, even tho one insignificant side comb in tho crowd whose
imagination wasn't elastic enough to picture a raise In salary and who dldn t

If ho had a million dollars ho would buy n bean orchard and hoard it

Which shows that It Is always desirable to bo prepared for tho best.

I cither a bright, successful man or a clover crook, it Is hard to tell which,
but you may .form your own opinion after I tell you what ho did the other
day. Educators have n theory that
"badness" is often n species of pent
up energy, and that tho samo talent for
mischief shown by many boys, if
turned to good channels, is tho very
talent that will mako tho boy suc
cessful in after life.
Itemember that In considering tho
following: ' ;
This young fellow delivered n spe
cial delivery letter, with tho familiar
bluo stamp showing a boy riding on
a blcyclo on it, to a certain residence
Id the northwest section. It was an apartment house. Tho boy rang the bell
In tho downstairs hall, but, receiving no answer, mounted tho steps to the
apartment in question.
Still no answer. So tho boy rang the bell In tho next apartment, and
when a womnn answered tho bell ho asked if sho would take tho letter for
tho absentee.
"Wly, you had bettor tnko that letter down to Mr. So-and-So's office,"
eald tho woman. 4
"Yes, mam," said tho boy, and departed.
When ho came to tho row of mall boxes, ho stopped, looked around, and
acted. Ho did not hcsltato In tho least. ,nis power of decision was very
good. Power of decision is a fine tiling, too.
He calmly toro tho special delivery stamp off tho letter, and dropped the
missive into tho proper mail box, making it appear as if tho regular mailman
had delivered it
Advisable for Novices to Make Sure
That Flock Is Free From Insects
by Giving Each Fowl Individ
ual Treatment,
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment ot Agriculture)
Fowls aro infested by two kinds of
body parasites lice and mites. Lice
Hvo continuously upon the birds. Tho
common mlto feeds upon them on the
roosts at night, and" nf ter feeding so-
crctes itself In the crucks nnd crevices
about the roosts.
Thoro uto many different kinds of
poultry lice. Thono most common on
fowls am tho bbdy louso, yellowish In
color nnd about one-tenth of tin inch
In length, which remains on tho skin
of tho fowl ; tho shaft louse, somewhat
smaller and very pale In color, which
Is usually seen on tho shafts of the
feathers, nud the head louse, n largo
gray spedes which Is most frequently
observed on the heads of young chick
ens.
Lice Multiply Rapidly.
Llco are not usually very abundant
on healthy fowls which are kept under
sanitary conditions und provided wlyi
dust baths. They multiply rapidly up
on birds of low vitality nnd sluggish
temperament, and aro quickly distrib
uted through flocks upon premises
where attention to cleanliness Is Indif
ferent.
For novices in poultry keeping, and
with small flocks geuernlly, It Is ad
visable to make suro that the flock is
free from llco by giving the birds In
dividual treatment which will secure
that result. The most universally pro
curable article for this purpose is poW'
dered sudphur. The method of apply
ing this is to hold tho bird by the feet,
head down, nnd dust tho sulphur free-

small insect-powder gun or n can with

Real Estate Man Thinks Women Talk Too Much h i
yWO women were being shown an apartment by an agent. Sure, it Is

The real estate agent had stopped,

about that apartment," eald Mrs. Smith, falling utterly to see tho agent
And, what wns worso, it wouldn't have made any difference if sho had seen
that gentleman, because It happened that she had never laid eyes on said
agent in nil her life. Sho always paid by check.

Pet Polly Went to Gladden More Lonesome Person
A MAN in search of congenial companionship went to a bird store to buy
a narrot that could talk. There wero no conversationalists in stock, ec
ho tacked off In nnothor direction for a specially suggested Polly, but, disap
pointed, returned to first baso. Tho
ownor of tho store, always ready to
please a customer, considered the case
apart from Its financial aspect:
"Como back later, colonel, and
I'll sco if I can't find a talker for you."
. So tho colonol man went off and
returned at tho tlmo set, to find a
knowing green polly posed near tho
counter on a porch. And of course
the man extended social greetings.
VHello, Polly 1"
Tho narrot rcspondod with tho
earns Jovial spbntaneousness. "Hello', colonel I" That settled tho deal.
And for a long time tharo lived In this town a lonesome man person nnd a
knowing parrot who called out to each other nt every coming and going:
"Hello; Polly!"
"Hello. Colonel!"
It wasn't much, of courso, but It wns something. And tho colonel was old-
enough to have learned that overy littlo counts. And ho was entirely satisfied
with tho Boclal gifts of his two-worded friend until just a littlo whllo ago he
found a lonesomer person thnn himself, who was blind and wanted a parrot
that could talk. So, after a battle that would havo mude tho Medcs and
Persians look silly, ho turned tho bird over to a new owner and now la this
own thero is a lonesome old woman who calls out to nor companion:

vals, as may appear necessary.
Sodium Fluorld Favored.
By using commercial sodium fluorld
In tho form of powder, or ns a dip, all
species of poultry llco may be de
stroyed at one application. As the high
efficiency of sodium fluorld In destroy
ing lice on poultry Is of recent discov
ery tho material Is not ordinarily
found in all drug stores. With a de
mand for it, however, local druggists
will secure supplies. Poultry keepers
who desire to thoroughly eradicate
llco from their flocks should write tho
United States department of agricul
ture, Washington, for Farmers' Bul
letin 801, which gives, with full details
of tho use of sodium fluorld, complete
Information on the control of mites
and lice.
Tho common chicken mlto Is a very
small gray insect which, when It has
filled Itself with blood, becomes bright
red, hence tho namo "red mite" by
which It is often called. It may be dis
covered, If present, by looking on the
under sides of the roosts nnd nest
supports, and In tho wall crevices
near them. Where, the mites nre very
abundant they may be found in largo
masses in bucIi places, Thoy also fre
quent tho nests of sitting hens. With
reasonable attention to tho cleanliness
of poultry houses, mites are not like
ly to be troublesomo except in warm
weather.
Treatment for mites consists in ap
plications of liquid insecticides or dis
infectants to them and to tho places
whero thoy harbor, repeating the ap
plications at Intervals of about a week
until nil aro destroyed. Any of tho
petroleum products commonly used
for disinfectant purposes will bo fonnd
effective for the destruction of mites.

As to the use of women on tha
farms, the department recog
nizes that they can be of great
value In certain minor tasks, but
the department believes that if
men of farm experience In tho
towns nnd cities can bo released
by the substitution of woman la
bor temporarily, the needs of
farmers will be supplied and
thero will bo littlo demand for
womnn labor on tho farm except
