The most permanently uncomfort
able man in Betxville-hv Rocco Mack
latest, and it is all due to his two na
tures, which he inherited from his
parents. From his mother, who was
GaEucci. he inherited the hot-
mature of Italy, and from his
father, Sandy Mackintosh, he inher
ited the cautious nature of a Scot,
and while hoth 'these natures are ex
cellent, they do not mix well, and in
Kocce Mackintosh they did not mix:
at alL They remained at all times
distinctly separate, like the streaks
of fat and lean in a piece of bacon.
Three weeks ago last Wednesday
Bocce woke with his hot Italian na
ture hi the saddle, so to speak, and an
overpowering desire came upon him
to write a -Black Hand letter, so he sat
down and began to write one. but
whew he was about half through his
cautious Scotch nature warned him
that he was doing a very dangerous
thing, and that if he was discovered
he aaight be taken to court and made
to pay a fine. But when he decided

to placate both his natures he wrote
the letter and addressed it to himself.

be prepared for the worst, and that
he had a cruel Italian nature to deal
with. So he took his shotgun in the
other hand and' sallied forth, bound,
at all costs, to protect himself.
But hardly had he stepped outside
the door than he weakened. What,
after all, was $100 as compared with
his life? He went back 'into the
house and took ten ten-dollar bills from
his sock,, and went out again. He
walked to the crossroads and tucked
the money under the stone, and then
stood back behind a tree to see what
would happen. In a minuto or so he
laid his shotgun on the ground and
stole slowly toward- the flat stone.
Glancing cautiously around, he lifted
the stone, picked up the $100 and
slipped it into his pocket, with a
cruel Italian chuckle of glee.
At that moment his stanch Scotch
nature rebelled. Never would he be
robbed in this manner! With a cry of
anger he dashed for the shotgun, and
at the very moment that he laid his
hand upon it his left hand drew the trig
ger. Then ensued a terrific struggle,
in which his Italian nature had all
the advantage. Try as he would he
was always too close to himself to
use the shotgun, while the dagger was
Just the weapon to use at close quar
ters. With a groan he dashed the
shotgun from him, and closed in
upon himself. Again and again he
wrested the dagger from himself, only
to have it wrested away again. At
length he put his knee upon his chest,
and pinned himself down thus, he
seized his ear in his teeth, and bit un
til he cried for mercy. Then, putting
his hand in his pocket he pulled out
the ten bills and put them in his pock
et He had triumphed.
All the way home his proud Scotch
nature gloated on this unequaled
achievement and he took his seat at
his dinner table with a feeling of
great content He felt in his pocket
to see that the $100 was still there,
and it was.
"That for the Black Hand!" he cried,
snapping his fingers, and he set to
work devouring his'-meal.
Suddenly he paused and a look of
fright and amazement came over his
face. He paused with his fork half
way to his face, and stared at it He
was eating spaghetti! Instantly he
knew what had happened. In his ter
rific struggle with himself he had
mixed his two natures, and the Ital
ian nature had triumphed after all!
He had allowed himself to take the
$100 away from himself. He had al
lowed himself to black-hand him
self. As he finished his meal he laughed
merrily to think how-he had carried
out his threat and at the same time
the tears ran down his cheeks as he
thought how he had been victimized.

READY TO FIGHT.
The big man with the fiery look oa
his face had been struggling with the
car window for 20 minutes. Suddenly
it came down on him and held him
a prisoner. With much fuming and
wriggling he finally released himself.
"Confound that blasted window!"
he thundered, almost exploding with
rage. "I feel like I could chew it up
in bits, glass and all."
It was then that the humorous little
man in the next seat touched him on
the arm.
"My friend," he said, with a merry
twinkle in his eyes, "don't be so an
gry with the window. Why, that win
dow likes you. In fact it is really
affectionate."
"What!t Are you joshing me? The
window affectionate?" r
"Certainly, sir. Didn't it fall on your
Beck?"
And then the humorous little
vanished toward the smoker.
Unusual Luck.
"So you've rented that haunted
house which was on 'your hands so
long?"
"Yes; rented It to -an actor." , ""
"Did he find out its reputation?'
"That's the very thing which de
cided him to take the house."
"Rather surprising!"
"He said it would be such a com
fort for him to get inside of a house
where the ghost walked every night"

.It is not so expensive to start a pure

Keep the cows clean; keep the barn

There Is no possession, more desir

Rain and snow bring some five

Iowa ships approximately 100,000,

Ground oats and peas make a fine
feed for any stock. It pays better,
though, to cut the oats and peas early
and make them into green feed or

Long ago. in Holy Writ, were set

Don't let cold weather catch you

done before winter; then see that you
do that In good season.

Neatness in all departments of the
farm life ought to be the farmer's
motto, but especially in the .dairy.
In any part of the country the more
we use our crops to produce some
thing of greater value, the more we
will have.

Feed is too expensive to use spar

you feed above that that really makes
money for you.
The business of the strawberry

A large number of farmers from

A newly stirred soil admits the ab

Those who "work out of doors, "next

When animals get sick on the farm,

The hostess asked them all to meet
at her house Informally at two
o'clock, the bride-elect was asked to
come at three, hrthls way the host

as follows. She had material for each
one to make the following articles:

and a case to wind linen doilies oa
The entire cost was added and divided
equally and then teach article was
wrapped in tissue paper, tied with rib
bon and hidden throughout the rooms.

chatted awhile, then the hostess an

confided to her that there were pack
ages of value concealed within the
portals of the room, to be discovered
only by a bride-elect and to the tune
of bridal music. Wherenpon the host-,

wedding marches while the merry lit

guided by the loud or soft tones on
the piano. All the packages being dis
covered, they were opened and the
girls all set to work on which ever
piece they chose. They pronounced
this a utility "shower," and it certain

said her mind was so in the clouds
that she had never even dreamed "of

an' he said he'd Invite me. An' I got

that for?" "It's for Johnny's birth
day. All tke kids take presents."
Things hadn't gone just right during
the day with -the -boy's father. He
was not in an agreeable humor.
"That's all nonsense." he declared.
"Every day or two it's a present here
or a present there. If you can't go
to a party without taking a present
you might as well stay at home." Thu
boy's lip trembled, but he made no re
ply. The next day the father regret
ted his hasty words and that night
turned to the boy. "George." he said,
"there are a couple of new books
in my overcoat pocket. You can take
them to your friend Johnny's party."
"It's too late," said George, gloomily.
"I licked him to-day so that he

As to the Hessian Fly.
The Hessian fly is a German product
which waa conceived In iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. It is a long, rangy
fly with a bite like a steel trap, and it
lays a pale blue, oblong egg at the
rate of 30,000 an hour. The Hessian
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to a glass inkwell, but its
favorite dish Is the double neck of a
fat gent This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fly paper without
crooking its toes, and Is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a8trychnlne hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age. which accounts for the
color of its whiskers. If it ever fas

closet
Just a pair of tablecloths will go
farther If they are kept well flattened

should be spread flat to a full-Used
box or a ltoea-covered portfolio. The
portfolio is a reliable saaitlon to the
dining room or paatry, aad It may be
made at home by covertog two pieces
of pasteboard with tea-colored linen,
or crash, hinging them together with
coarse linen thread or with aarrow
ribbon strips an inch to length, so
that the portfolio will hold more flat
linen pieces. This, when filled,- Is
tied together with ribbons and kept ia
a napkin drawer, .where even the sud
den rush for napkins can no longer
wrinkle the embroidered liaens.
