JOHN HENRY
OW THE
BY GEO. V. HOBART, (“HUGH M'HUGH.”)
Dear Hunch: Your letter from Her
ein is here, ami after nicking; all the
“Hochs!” and “Gesundlicits!” out of it
we’re hep to the fact that you're both
having a swell time among the Ger
mans.
Tell Alice to bring me home a stein
—empty. 1 can get the beer and the
“Proslts!" over here.
Your German letter having created
an atmosphere, it’s up to me to tell
you about old Elsie Shulz, who is
spending a few days at Uncle Peter’s
home across the road.
Elsie is a sort of a privileged char
acter in our family, having lived with
Aunt Martha for over 20 years as a
sort of housekeeper.
Yesterday morning, while Peaches
and 1 were at breakfast. Elsie mean
“I Got k."
dered in. bearing in her hand a wed
ding invitation which Herman had for
warded to her from Plainfield.
Elsie read the invitation. “Mr. and
Mrs. Rudolph Ganderkurds request der
honor of your presence at der mar
riage of deir daughter, Verbena, to
Galahad Schmalzenberger, at der
home of der pride's parents, Plainfield.
N. J.. May first. R. S. V. P."
■‘Veil,” said Elsie. “I know der Gan
derkurds und I know deir daughter
Verbena, und I know Galahad Schmal
zenberger; he’s a floorwalker in
Bauerhaupt's grocery store, but I
doan'd know vot is dot R. S. V. P.
yet!”
i gently kicked Peaches on the in
step under the table, and said to
Elsie: “Well, that's a new one on me,
also. Are you sure it isn’t B. & O.
or the C. R. R. of N. J.? Those are
a couple of railroads in New Jersey,
but I never heard of the R. S. V. P..“
For the first time in her life since
she's been able to grab a sentence be
tween her teeth and shake the pro
nouns out of it Elsie was amazed.
She kept looking at the invitation
and saying to herself; “R. S. V. P. t
"Vot is it? 1 know der honor of your
presence; I know der pride's parents,
but. I don’t know R. S. V. P.”
All that day Elsie wandered through
the house muttering to herself "R. S.
V. P.! Vot is it? Is it some secret
between der pride und groom? R. S.
V. P.! It ain’d my initials, because dey !
begin mit E. S. Vot is dot R. S. V, P.?
Vot is it? Vot is it?”
That evening we were all at dinner
when Elsie rushed in with a cry of
joy. “I got it!” she said. “I have
nntied der meaning of dot R. S. V. P.
It means Real Silver Vedding Pres
ents!”
I was just about to drink a glass of
water, so I changed my mind and near
ly choked to death.
Peaches tried to say something,
which resulted in a gurgle in her
“Herman Would Yell Whoa!”
throat; the Swede servant girl rushed
out in the kitchen and broke a couide
of dishes, while Uncle Peter, who was
dining with us, fell off his chair on
the cat which had never done him any
harm.
Elsie's interpretation of that wed
ding present is going to set Herman
Shulz back several dollars, or I'm not
a foot high.
This same Herman is a character,
by the way, Bunch.
He's a horse trader by profession
and a con thrower by nature.
1 must tell you, Bunch, about Her
man when he lived and flourished in
Rochester, N. Y.
A friend of ours named Will Hodge
also lived in Rochester at that time,
and Will went to Herman to buy a
horse.
Herman had at this time an old sor
rel horse which would never travel
over half a mile without balking.
At some remote period of its life
the sorrel had been docked, but Her
man decided he could sell the horse
quicker if it had a long tall, so he
glued on a tail which he kept in the
barn for this purpose.
One of the peculiar features about
this old sorrel was the fact that just
before he would begin to balk and stop
dead in his tracks the right ear wouid
fly back and stay there.
And just before he intended to start
again the left ear would fly back and
join the right ear.
Then as the old sorrel went joyously
on Uis way once more both ears would
stand out straight, and all would be
well.
The old sorrel always made these
signals, rain or shine.
Another peculiar fact was this, that
once the old sorrel's nose was pointed
for home lie never stopped, but went
like the wind—when it isn’t blowing
very hard.
Well, ofl' goes Will Hodge to Her
man Shtilz to inquire about a horse,
and Herman hitches up the old sorrel.
While hitching Herman starts in to
explain what a clever old beast the
sorrel is. and by the time they get
started out of the barn in the buggy
Hodge has an idea that he is riding
behind Sysonby's stepbrother.
When they got out about half a mile
back went the sorrel's right ear. and
Herman said quickly: “Whoa, whoa,
boy! Whoa! ”
Of course, the old sorrel intended
to whoa anyway, but Hodge didn’t
know that.
Then Herman would point at the
scenery with the whip and describe
it. all the time watching the old sor
rel’s left ear for the starting signal.
Presently hack went the left ear,
and then Herman would stop describ
ing the scenery, and with a loud "Ged
dap!" the old sorrel would start off
once more.
At the end of another half mile
hack would go the sorrel’s right ear.
and Herman would yell “Whoa!” and
then say: “Here on the right I
would like to point out to you the
Methodist orphan asylum, and over
there is Chase & Pendleton's cele
brated sash factory. Over there on
the left—” Hut just then the sorrel's
left ear would fly back, and Herman
would bave'to say “Ged-dap!” right in
‘‘Saw a Man Running.”
Ihe midst of his description of the
scenery.
This was kept up about four times,
and then all of a sudden Hodge let
out a roar.
“For the love of a kind Heaven!"
yelled Will, “don’t you know that I
came out here to see this horse go
and not to listen to your lectures on
this bum scenery? Why, man, I have
lived in Rochester all my life and I
know all about the sash factories and
the orphan asylums, and I am on fa
miliar terms with every bit of scenery
you can shake a whip at, so now I
will thank you kindly to point the
reins of this horse and make him
commence.”
“Aeh! oxcoos. oxcoos;" said Her
man. “You vish to see him trafel, is
it? So! I show you!”
Then Herman turned the old sor
rel around, pointing his nose at the
oats in the barn, and the wise old
bonerack never stopped running until
they were back home.
Hodge bought the horse on the
strength of that return trip.
That afternoon Hodge took the sor
rel out for a little exercise. Pretty
soon it began to rain, the glue melted,
and when Will saw his horse’s tail
drop off he nearly fell out of the
wagon.
An hour later Herman was sitting
in his barn door, when he saw a man
running towards him who looked
something like Hodge and something
like a vigilance committee.
The man had a buggy whip in one
hand and a horse’s tail in the other,
and he was traveling hell bent for
election.
Herman took one peep at him, then
he fell sideways out of the barn win
dow and hid for three days in his
cellar.
I don't think Will and Herman ever
meet, because both of them are still
alive and uninjured.
Yours for the Germans,
JOHN.

Grecian Women Advance a Step.
The chamber of deputies of Greece
has passed a law by which, for the
first time in modern Greece, women
are admitted in the public service. In
accordance with this law, the director
of posts and telegraphs is authorized
to employ 50 women, to be used main
ly in the telephone service. They are
to be between 21 and 35 years old, and
are to receive 70 drachmas (about
$13.50) a month, for six hours’ work a
day.
Babylon.
Like magic architects the winds have
made
Of radiant clouds a city in the air.
Temples and citadels and gardens fair.
With all the show of pompous art dis
played ;
Burnished and dyed with every fleeting
shade
Of sunset—gold and rose and emerald
rare—
Until a phantom Babiyon is there.
A crown of blooming stars upon her
head.
The tangled constellations wane and die.
The witchery of waking dawn en
twines
A wreath of primrose glory In the sky
Ami all the orient incarnadines—
I.o, Babylon has vanished with the night
And whither have the builders taken
flight:
—William F. McCormack.
Still Anxious.
“So your financial apprehensions are
over?”
“Not entirely,” answered the man
who is never satisfied to be happy.
“1 have quit fretting about getting any
money out of the bank, and am now
worrying about how to get more in.”
TWO LATE MODES !
i
The gown at the left is of black crepe de chine. The half-empire skirt
is trimmed lengthwise with tucked bands of taffeta and is finished at the
bottom with a wide band of lace re-embroidered with jet paillettes.
The corsage and little sleeves are trimmed to correspond, and also with
a jet fringe. The tucked guimpe and the undersleeves are of white tulle.
The other gown is of black chiffon-mouseline. Undulating bands of taf
feta and panels of filet guipure trim the skirt.
The prettily draped corsage is of the filet guipure trimmed around the
neck with the taffeta bands. The yoke and undersleeves are of white lace;
the girdle with pretty knot, is of black taffeta.
FROCKS FOR THE TUB.
Blue and Brown Galatea Among the
Best of Materials.
Among the cheapest of the good
looking tub juniper frocks are those
made of blue and brown galatea. The
material sells at a very small price
everywhere and washes like a collar.
It comes in good tones that do not
show soil and comes out of the tub
without being faded.
Linen makes charming ones, but
every woman does not care to afford
many linen frocks. The good quality
is the only one worth buying, and a
frock of it amounts up.
When a girl feels she can afford
only one. she should get it in rose
pink or nile green in order that it may
be dressy enough for afternoon wear.
This is the ideal costume for church
this summer, at home or on a vaca
tion.
The reason most of these materials
were not comfortable before for sum
mer frocks was because of their heat
around the neck and arms.
TWO SMART LITTLE DRESSES.
Both Suitable for Girls from Eight to
Ten Years of Age.
The first costume pictured is a smart
iittle dress in blue checked zephyr.
The skirt Is trimmed with a band of
plain blue zephyr, the pinafore-bodice
being bound with the same, and the
shoulders and fronts connected by
straps of zephyr fixed under tiny but
tons. A blouse of white muslin print
ed lightly with blue is worn with it.
The second is another pretty wash
ing-dress of pink zephyr. The skirt
has a shaped piece turned up at the
foot and stitched on the outside.
The bodice has a small yoke of piece
lace set into a shaped yoke and platron
of zephyr, the sides being plaited and
laid under it. The tight-fitting lower
part of sleeve is of piece lace.
A Belting Jumper.
Embroidered linen belting, in white
and color, may be bought by the yard,
and a very clever little lady has used
it to make herself a jumper. A double
thickness over each shoulder, from the
waist line in the front to the waist line
in the back, is the foundation of the
garment, while a few strips across the
back and front give the whole a very
jumper-like appearance.
The four loops at tfie waist line
formed by the shoulder straps are used
to slip the belt through, so, when it is
worn with a white skirt and blouse,
the effect Is of one of the popular one
piece dresses.
It is just such an arrangement that
makes it possible to wear a blouse and
skirt without a coat.
English Dress for Indians.
It seems not improbable that the
dress adopted by educated India,
which is more or less of the western
type, will also be adopted by the peo
ple at large in the future. The fond
ness of the orientals for bright colors
may give rise to gorgeous neckties
and gold-laced collars—Hindustan Re
view, Allahabad.
WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM.
Accomplishment Few Women Seem to
Have at Command.
It is really surprising how few wo
men know how to make a neat hem,
although this was considered a neces
sary accomplishment in the days of
our grandmothers. It is used to finish
the raw edges of goods and it is most
important that it be evenly and neatly
turned down; always turn it toward
you. To do this, turn down one-quar
ter of an inch all t^Iong the edge and
baste it on the crease w’ith even bast
ing stitches.
Take a stiff piece of cardboard and
mark on it the exact width of the !
hem. Place the edge of the creased
cardboard at the creased edge of the
goods and mark the desired width
with a thread, using the short and
long basting stitch. Fold the hem on
this line of thread and baste to the
material along the upper edge with an
even basting. In hemming do not use
a knot. Hold the hem across the end
of the forefinger of the left hand.
Point the needle toward you, to the
right, and insert it under the edge of '
the hem close to the right hand. Draw !
the needle through, leaving an end
of the thread to be tucked under the
edge.
To begin the hemming stitch, point
the needle toward the middle of the
left thumb and take up one thread of
the cloth and the same of the fold. To
have the thread slant in the right di
rection, see that each time a stitch is
taken that the needle points directly
across the middle of the left thumb.
To have the hem appear well when
finished care must be taken to have
the distance between each stitch ex
actly the same.—Exchange.
Old Idea Revived.
A pretty way of trimming a muslin
and lace frock is by heading the deep
insertion of lace on the skirt (the band
of dentelle so beloved of Paris) with a
beading wide enough to admit a soft
satin ribbon, some two or three inches
in width, this ribbon being threaded
through it at intervals of about a foot,
tied into prettv bows, but these are
not left on a level with the beading.
They are pulled through so that the
bow hangs down over the lace, the lit
tle ends having a ball of floas silk to
finish them off, with a bunch of fringe
falling from the center of each ball.
These loosely hanging bows look very
quaint against the lace background.
Dressy Robes of'Marquisette.
The very dressy robes for afternoon
or evening wear are now composed of
marquisette. This is so very fine that
it looks like organdie or mousseline
from a distance. It comes in all col
ors, too, and the colors are very dainty
and delicate. Of course the mar
quisette is flimsy, but everything this
season is the same. Drapers declared
that goods were to have more body a
year or two ago, but heavy goods have
not yet made an appearance.
Chiffon on Summer Frocks.
No summer frock is complete with
out its yard or two of superfluous chif
fon. It is a fad presenting such allur
ing possibilities to the feminine mind
that it cannot be ignored.
Novelty in Skirts.
The “really new’’ skirt, which we
find in silk cachemire, in heavy crepe
de chine, in thick eastern silks of all
kinds, as in supple light cloths, is
made with folds dragged across the
front from bust to ankles, the ten
dency of the lines being to mount
toward the back, perhaps crossing
over obliquely there and ending under
a buckle on one hip, or at the shoulder
blade. Fancy this in dead leaf color, j
meager as to underskirt, slightly
trailing, and worn with a taffeta coat
in light jade green, w’hich, short-waist
ed and tailless behind, has two long
side pieces that almost reach the
ankles, fringed and embroidered in
soutache. There is a soft sash of
black liberty satin, which is carried
across the bust under the coat, high
enough behind to just show under the
short coat back, and crossing there,
returning to droop in front and knot
at the bend of the legs.
Her Last Hope.
After a man’s wife finds that it is
useless to try to convince him that
smoking is an expensive habit she be
gins to be afraid that it hurts the
baby’s throat.
FENCING FIELDS FOR THE
PASTURING OF LIVE STOCK
What It Costs and Why It Pays —By D. A. Gaumnltz, M. S.,
Agr., Minnesota.
It Is generally conceded that good
pastures furnish liy far the cheapest
icku iur growing
animals on land
not exceeding $100
per acre in value.
The truth of this
argument is quite
evident when it Is
considered that
the feed as ob
tained by the ani
mal is in the very
best condition.That
is, it is succulent,
contains all the
nutrients. in an
easily digestible
form and is ob
tained by the ani
mal under very
healthful condi
tions. In addition
to this the cost of
harvesting, curing,
stackiug and feed
ing is eliminated, j

while at the present price of grain and
(he fence. It Is much easier to fence
hogs into a cornfield than to fence
them out. and, as a rule, they do not
make much effort to get out. In case
they do attempt to get out, a barbed
wire stretched along the bottom, pr
stakes one or two feet long driven
between posts and left just enough
above the ground so that the bottom of
the wire ribbon may be stapled to
them will keep them on the right side.
Such fencing will cost from 30 to 40
cents per rod. The amount of fencing
used and the methods employed in
handling it (see accompanying table)
will make the cost vary from $1.50 to
three dollars per acre. This will un-,
doubtedly prove more profitable fn
many cases than husking the corn
and feeding in the yard, especially if
there is a good growth of rape or other
catch crop that the hogs can get at
the same time they ar getting the ;
corn. In case this is nec done, it is :
more economical to snap corn tha
is to be fed at once than to carefully
husk it.
Fencing intelligently done offers cne
of the safest investments of any ot

Note.—The last three columns of figures
in the above table are offered for the eon
venienoo of those who wish to know the
approximate annual cost of any given
fence. The figures tire obtained by divid
ing the cost p* r rod of the fence by the
number of years it is expected to last and
adding to this the interest on the aver
fctiy it costs 0:1 the average farm from
S to 12 cents per day to feed the same
cow in the barn.
Experiments show that as much
pork can be made from one acre of
good pasture as from one ton of shorts
or corn. The cost of these feeds
varies from $15 to $20 per ton. An
acre of pasture will save. then, from
$15 to $20 worth of feed. It is quite
evident that in the economical pro
duction of animal products good pas
tures are an important factor.
The reason mere and better hog
pastures are not used is chiefly due
to the fact that hog fences are quite
expensive. The advent of the woven
wire fence is overcoming this feature
and now land may be fenced hog tight

these figures may be used, let us consider
the fencing required per acre to inclose
the hog paddocks on farm shown in Fig.

vesting, thus saving from ten cents to
five dollars an acre, which would oth
erwise be wasted. However, like any
other investment, it should be made
only when careful reasoning shows it
to be advisable.

at an annual cost of from $1 to $2.50
per acre, depending on the size and
shape of fields fenced and cost of
posts.
For temporary fences for hogs many
farmers use only a plain woven wire
ribhon 24 or 26 inches high, put up on
small posts or stakes set from one to
rods apart. The best kind of posts to
use for such work are about three
inch posts, six feet long, well shar
pened, and the corners rounded off on
the upper end so they will not split
in driving. Holes may be made rap
idly with a crowbar and then two or
three good blows with a post maul will
make the posts solid enough for tem

farmer served by rural delivery may l
be just as much interested in its de *
livery as the one who receives it.
Mail delivery is a public service per
formed, over public property. Good
roads help the farmer more than any
one else, but they are not the only
ones benefited. The country mer '

farm products gain by good roads. The *
fair way, the equitable way and the t
only successful way to get good roads t
is by state aid, 1. e., the state from the -
general tax levy or a bond issue to pay *
half the cost and tax everybody for it.
Clean Out the Weeds.—Do not put
aff the task of cleaning out the weeds
between the rows and in the fence
corners, whether it be a field, a gar
den, a little grass plot, or a walk or
driveway. Those left will go to seed
and as a stitch in time saves nine, so
ane year's seeding makes seven years’
weeding.
Hoe Out Dairy Weeds.—There is
>uch a thing as keeping the hoe going
n the dairy. Many of the animals are
ittle if any better than "dairy weeds”
ind they will prove death to profits if
they are not hoed out. One cow that -
pays a profit takes less care and pays I
as much profit as three cows, two of 1
which “break even” so far as the ex- 1
pense account is concerned. Hoe out i
everything that does not pay a good
profit. .
Costly Pests.—It is estimated that K
the orchard pests do over $30,000,000
worth of damage to the fruit of the 1
country every year. A little money l

in using them would save most of this |
great loss.
