Cousin Mack
Mm, (iregg, who cultivated a breezy,

day of her nrrlval at her Kluter'a home,
of the necessity of her calling upon
her hiiHhnnd'H cousin, Colllo Mack.
So hIio, with a party of four or llvo
of her relatives In various degrees,
turned tho headlights of their auto
inohllu toward tho cxcIiihIvo vlllnge,

Klie was Htlll In the ceventh heaven

rudely recalled by the niundano curi

"Oh." she icplleil. alilly, "It's with
pome doctor, on Oak avenue, about
two blocks f i om tho car line." Then
file M'ttled back to her lancles onco
more.
The driver scowled and turned the
car nrouiid lie diovo slowly up and
down Oak avenue, scanning tile houses
on both sides of the street wllhlu a
i.-iilliis of two blocks or every car track,
hut to no effect. Finally he gave It up.

Cosl Gf Planting Dead
Ears A Tremenduous One
to
Do jmi leali" what it mean
plant a dead nir of e iru'.' Theaveragu
ear contains from SiM lo 1.000 kernels.
Kvery kernel meuis a stalk and every
an ear. A good ear planted means
from feoO to 1,000 eats, or about 10
bushels of corn.
Suppose one dead ear is planted,
Nothing is returned and a lots of tlve
dollars results.
Twelve good ears of average corn
will plant one acre. A loss of one ear
means a loss of one twelfth of the
rom crop. It can easily ho seen what
it means to plant corn that will not
xerminutc strongly.
Tests In Nebraska prove that most
of tho corn will not show germination
Vests of fifty percent. That means un
less tested corn is planted tho yield
will be out down In half. Lasl year
the corn yield amounted to 5-8r,000,000
A loss of one-fourth would practically
bankiupt all interests dependent, A
o-s of one-half will mean a calamity.
Don't fail to test your seed corn.
Do it mnv before it is too hito.

"Well, It ain't here," ho remarked
wltheilngly.
"Why, perhaps It Isn't," genially re
rponded Mrs. (iregg. "I forgot that It
must have been lirteen or twenty
years ago that ho lived hero. Oh.
and besides, It was his sister who
lived with the doctor, and she was a
trained nurse, so It might have been
that she Just had a case there. I don't
suppose Collie Mack lived there nt all.
Wasn't that runny?"
She thought a moment. "Haven't
you people some Iden of where to
look?" she asked, glancing about ex
pectantly. "We might look In the city dlrcc
toiy," volunteered her sister.
Ko the whole party got out nt tho
nearest drug stoic and pored over tho

Mis (iregg looked at him rcpronrh
fully and said nothing
"lleie It Is," cried her brother-in-law,
excitedly. "Hero's Martin Henry
Woithlngton Mack! That's all tho
Initials. They probably called him
Collie because he'd take a whole col
umn." They excitedly viewed tho name In
turn. Mrs. (iregg smiled In conscious
superiority. "Yes. of course, that's it, '
she exclaimed. "My mind rarely falls
to recall names."
ho they climbed back Into tho car
and broke tho speed regulations got-

At the door Mrs. (iregg took tho
lead. Sho shook hands with the young
ghi who opened the door, exclaiming
dellghtedfy: "Well, well! I'm Mrs.
Oreus, and these nro my sisters and
my brother-in-law and my baby and a
nephew Is your rather at home''"
Without waiting for n reply from the
stunned girl, she made for tho stairs,
followed by her train of rolntlves.
"I never ill earned that ho was mar
ried!" she exclaimed to the llttlo worn
an. who In n dazed way offered them
chairs "Mid this big ilrl Is your
daughter' Well, well'" And hIio smiled
with n titiiidl warmth which In ought
no i espouse from Hie hostess.
s-'uddonl the door opened and a

Rare Metal in Small GuantMu Usu
ally Is Associated With Gold
In Gravel Beds.
Platinum Is found associated with
gold, principally in gravel beds. Tlio
ordinary source Is accumulations ot
gravel which hnvu been eroded from
extcnslvo area and gradually concen
trated in one locality by the continued
action of water. It Is a raro metal
nnd tho accumulation must ho from a
great extent of country If a paying
deposit Is to ho developed.
Platinum is of a sliver gray color
which is rarely tarnished. Its devol
opmont is similar to gold, except that
whero gold Is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
inum will ho found more commonly
with dnrk colored rocks, and espe
cially those of a greenish shading.
It is found only In small quantities,
except at two or three localities. West
ern Colombia and eastern Russia havo
gravel beds which afford tho princi
pal supply of this metal. Klscwhero
It Is found over considerable ureas,
but not sulllclently concentrated to be
of Importance. It may be looked lor
among tho formations adjacent to le
gions of old volcanic activity.
The distribution Is principally in al
tered rocks, and segregation seems to
have been the principal cause con
tributing to Its collection In ore
bodies. The deposits found up to tho
present time have been of Irregular
mineralization nnd not of great ex
tciiK consequently all platinum de
posits must bo considered with cau
tion. Of tho rare metals associated wIMi
platinum, iridium, osmium, paladlum
and others, little need bo said because
of their rarity. If found they will ho
associated with platinum and will ho
known by the greater hardness,
brighter surfaco and greater speclllo
gravity. Moody's Magazine.
THREAD DOES SLEUTH WORK
a
Milwaukee Merchant Devises a Clever
Scheme to Get Rid of a Trouble
some Shoplifter.
Tho manager of a local department
storo took an cI1 'iHous method of
lidding himself of a Iroubksomo pet
ty shoplifter recently. 'I ho woman has
been coming into tho store ai.il pick
ing up a small rununnt, spool of
thrcid, thimble or other article that
happened to bo lying about, having
little Intrinsic value, but being never
theless a r.ouico of annoyance to both
the clerk and the maiuisrement. Ho
causo of the position of tho woman,
It was undesirable to institute an ac
tion. A few days ago tho manager took a
spool of silk from tho case, fastened
the loose end of tho thread with a
tack, and allowing a bit of slack, left
it upon tho counter. It was not long
before his party arrived, and deftly
dropping tho spool into her shopping
bag. started out. The manager de
tached tho loose end and followed her
up tho street, a few yards In tho rear.
He trailed her into another downtown
Btoro, nnd, as sho was standing besldo
a counter in tho midst of a crowded
nrrny of bargain seekers, approached
her, calmly winding b.ls thread and po
litely said:
"Mndatno, I'll troublo you for that
spool of thread."
What followed can bo moro easily
Imagined than described. Ho got tho
thread and has not been troubled with
losses since, nor have tho other stores,
bo far as may bo learned. Milwaukeo

"How nlco It Is to meet relatives!
Do sit down by mo hero nnd lot us
talk over old times!" Mrs. Gregg
smiled bewltchlngly up nt tho Scotch
man. "You know Oatherlno stayed
with us for some months, nnd I grow
to think so much of her. It was on
nccount of her that I was simply wild
10 meet you. Whero Is sho now?"
Tho face or the Scotchman wns full
of amazement. Mrs. Mack's eyes were
fastened upon her husband In horror.
Suddenly Mrs. Gregg's soaring spir
its came down to earth. Sho looked
searchlngly at her now cousin. Sho
also observed tho wife's wordless ac
cusations. "Why why " Bho began, "isn't
Catherlno your slstor? Don't you ro
member Dr. Gregg? I i think wo'vo
nmdo somo mlstako." Thon sho looked
reproachfully nt her brother-in-law
"I'm sorry to havo troubled you," she
added, "and I bollovo we'd better go
now."
Sho nroso and led a dignified re
treat. Mrs. Mack leaned over the rail
ing nnd gazed down suspiciously as
her husband opened the door for tho
Visitors.
Bearded "Ladles."
M. Brandt, a Danish professor,
comes to tho conclusion that bearded
ladies in time to como will bo tho or
der of tho day. Ladles with boards
who nro now to bo soon may bo re
garded as tho precursors of tho futuro
race, and tho professor comes to tho
conclusion that (he more masculiuo
woman becomes in Iter habits so much
tho moro will sho bo In appearance.
Ho does not think that bearded Indies
will becomo general until at least two
centuries havo elapsed. Ills Investi
gations show that tho number of wo
men with traces of mustaches, al
though clearly visible, increaaos but
Flowly. The Paris contemporary from
which wo tako tho foregoing suggests
that tho professor baa missed the
great point which he might havo made
and that Is that as tho number oi
men who shave Increases dally it
would follow that women would en
deavor to grow beards from sheer
perversity.
