SISTER'S SABLE MUFF
By CLAUDINE SISSON.
X
"Good lands, but I've kicked a cat!"
Miss Lysle Teller, stenographer in
the city and living with her mother
in a suburban village, had been one
of the last to leave the electric car,
and in the gloom of a winter's evening
her foot had struck something soft
and furry and kicked it ahead of her.
"Here, pussy, pussy, pussy!"
But pussy did not respond with a
meow or reproach that she had been
kicked.
"My soul, but it's a muff!"
So it was, and of the latest style
and a very expensive one. Of course.
someone who had passed that way
had lost it ,
The next morning Miss Lyale asked
the car conductor, but he could not
help her out. She was carrying the
muff to the office with her, and on
the car with her was a hatchet-faced
young man who was given to induc
tion and inference. Here was a girl
whose outfit did not cost over $35,
and yet she was carrying a sable
muff that must have cost hundreds.
When Miss Lysle left the suburban
car in the city the young man crowd
ed forward and lifted his hat and
said:
It is about the muff I wish to speak
to you."
"O-h-h!"
"My sister will be so glad!"
"Then it was your sister who"
"I was about to advertise the loss
of the fur," suavely observed the
young man.
A young man who didn't like the
look of the hatchet-faced one at all
had halted within hearing distance,
and he now stepped forward and said
to Miss Lysle:
"I beg your pardon, but is that
young man annoying you?"
"He claims that his sister lost thl3
muff, and I don't believe him."
"You found it, did you?"
"Yes, sir."
"Better advertise for an owner. As
for this fellow here, if he doesn't take
himself off I'll call an officer. He's a
fraud and a swindle! Good morning."
The young man took himself off,
but he rode down town on' the same
car with Miss Lysle, just the same,
and followed her to the office where
she was employed. If he could get
hold of that muff it would be $50 in
his pocket.
Miss Lysle's brother Ben, the rising
young lawyer, had advised her to ad
vertise her find. At the office she was
advised to wait a day and let the loser
advertise. She adopted this plan.
When she started for home in the
evening she carried the muff with
her.
The hatchet-faced young man was
waiting to follow her. That sable
muff was a great temptation to him.
Mr. Clyde Melton, the young sculp
tor, came along just as the girl step
ped to the walk and he followed on
not because he was seeking a flirta
tion not because he identified her as
the girl of the morning whose part
he had taken against hatchet-face, but
because he had received a message
from his sister in the same suburb
Miss Lylse lived in stating that some
thing awful had happened and he
must come as soon as ever he could.
And so the trio rode on until the
"All out!" of the conductor was shout
ed. Then there was a scramble, and
Miss Lysle hurried away, the thief fol
lowed, and the sculptor almost ran.
The thief was too precipitate. He at
tacked the girl while the sculptor was
yet within hearing. Her screams as
she fought with one hand and held
on to the muff with the other brought
Mr. Melton back, and he recognized
the assailant at once.
Right and justice seldom triumph,
but this was one of the exceptions.
The thief was knocked down. He was
punched. He was battered. He was
choked. He had his eyes blacked and
his nose skinned. He was jerked to
his feet and kicked around the cor
ner, and the sculptor turned to re-
j v u u .1 u u v jl 1.. n 1,14 luu ,
sable muff.
She had disappeared!
Ten minutes later his sister was
weepingly saying to him:
"Oh, Clyde, its awful just awful!"
"Baby, dead?"
"No. I've lost that new sable muff
that I bought the other day!"
"Sable muff?"
"Yes. I lost it on the street com
ing from the car."
"But you have advertised it?"
"No. Fred is away, you know, and
I didn't know how to get an advertise- ! ,,,t" vt,dic,? RtlHi Monl-ville testi

Cease to weep and I'll find your
m 9t
muff."
The sculptor went back to the spot.
He didn't look for the girl's tracks.
He walked two blocks down a side
street and then rang a bell. Luck had
been a good guide. It was Miss Lysle
Teller that came to the door In an
swer. It took Just two hours to straighten
out the tangle of that sable muff, and
then followed another. Brother Ben,
the rising young lawyer, didn't have
anything to say about this latter tan
gle for several months, and then it
j was In a very serious tone that he
said:
J "Mother, didn't I say that unless
this cage was handled right there
i would be serious complications?"
"Mercy on me, but what's hap
pened?" "The hero and heroine are engaged

Long ago 1 laid i;iim to the deserts

woods and southern swamps, and the
best part of u),v life lias been spent in
making good these claims. They were
grants right royal grants-to all who
could prove themselves heirs before a
higher court. As a matter of fact, few
have qualitied. nnd while there hits
been a lot of squabbling in the lower
courts over titles, the laud has remain

persons a haudrul m each generation.
Of these lakes nnd hills in western
New York one is the proprietor to just
that extent that lie is able to respond
to their beauty and make thetu com
panionable. To this end he must see
them not only ns a naturalist bntus nn

of a poet nnd of n philosopher as well.

How to Make Frumenty.
One of the old time delicjicies iu Eng
land was furmnnte. frumenty or fur
menty. According to the most iimtioiit formu
la extant it was coii'x-t(d in the fol
lowing mitnner: "Take clean wheat
and bray it iu a mortar, that the hulls
be all gone off, and seethe it till it
burst, and take it up and let it cool:
and take clean fresh broth nnd sweet
milk of almonds or sweet milk of kine
and temper it all; and take the yolks
of eggs. Boil it a little nnd set it down
and mess it forth with fat venison or
fiesh mutton."
Venison whs seldom served without
this accompaniment, but frumenty,
sweetened with sugar, was a favorite
dish of itself, the 'clean broth" being
omitted when a lord was to be the pur
taker, i
"Mutton pies" was the name given to
the mince pie as early as 1."!)H. They
were also known as shred and Christ

SPECIAL VALUE OF

A First Prize
Successive drouths in the dairy
section of the Northwest have served
in a limited way to show the special
value of alfalfa. There are several
reasons why this fodder ought to be
generally extensively used by North
ern farmers.
Considered from any standpoint it
Is a protable hay crop. It can be de
pended upon to net the producer fully
50 per cent, more profit than either
timothy and red closer, whether dis
posed of in the market or fed out to
live stock on the place.
As there is a cutting of alfalfa about
the first of June in Northern states
the crop is of most importance in
keeping up milk contracts.
In the dry season the pastures give
out or at least run down seriously
during July while in August they may
be practically bare.
The early cuttings of alfaJfa is rea
sonably sure to be a heavy crop.
Usually it is the best of the season.
The yield may be depended upon to
exceed that of any other fodder on an
equal acreage.
Then it is three weeks or a month
earlier than timothy or red clover. It
comes in the right time to augment
METHOD OF CLEANING
A POULTRY HOUSE
Floor and Walls Should Be
Brushed and Cleaned Drop
pings Are Valuable.
Lime wash made from stone lime Is
the best purifier. Make the wash as
follows: Stone lump lime, ten
pounds; boiling water, two gallons,
and carbolic acid, one ounce. Put
lime in bucket, pour on the boiling
water, cover with cloth and allow it
to stand for one hour. The mixture
must be well stirred to prevent
scorching.
If there is not enough water not all
the lime will be slaked well. On the
other hand, too much water retards
the slaking by lowering the heat. Add
enough boiling water to make the
wash Just thick enough to spread
well. Mix one ounce of carbolic acid
in each bucket of wash. Carbolic
acid is poisonous and must be handled
with care. If the roosting poles and
nest boxes are movable take them out
of the house. Brush down the walls,
clean the floor; then apply the wash,
which should be put on hot. Take
time to get the wash Into the cracks.
The roosts and nest boxes should
bo brushed over with coal oil and
then given a thick coat of the hot
waeh. The floor should be well coat
ed with fresh alr-slaked lime. If the

Clean up the droppings every morn

rich sifted earth, spread one or two
handfuls of plaster over each layer
of manure; the plaster will prevent
loss of ammonia.
Keep the barrels of manure under
cover outside of the house. The drop

meat, ground bone, wheat bran, corn
chops and a little linseed meal prop

feeding is necessary.
If it can be spared from the farm
and is sent to market a good cash re
turn is obtained and it is well to note
that it is one of the first large items
of the crop season.
It comes in considerably ahead of
grain and the revenue' may do away
with the necessity of borrowing money
for carrying on the heavy operations
of the farming season.
Usually the dairy farmer will prefpr
to have the alfalfa crop consumed on
the place because it greatly increases
the flow of milk. The cash return is
thus likely to be larger than for mar
keting the hay and the midsummer
and fall cuttings are equally profitable
for winter feeding.
The crop will average three cuttings
each season in this latitude, 'although
it is commonly harvested five times in
Kansas, Oregon, Washington, and a
few other states.
In view of the difficulties which
Northern farmers have experienced in
keeping up their milk supply during
the summer months it Is worth while
to consider the special value of alfalfa
as a dairy fodder. r

The owner of the up-to-date sugar
camp takes care to have a good sup
ply of wood ready and all his supplies
on hand for catching the first run of
sap, which Is of the best quality and
commands the highest price.
The old-fashioned trough is seldom
seen these days, costing too much in
the manufacture and the waste of
time in the use. The pails are also
much more sanitary as well as more
easily handled. The cheapest grade
of tin soon wears out and it is more
economical In the end to buy a good
grade, painting them on the outside
and keeping them dry when na; In
use.
Syrup cans should never be washed
when emptied, as it is almost impos
sible to get them entirely dry and the
moisture soon induces rust. The lat
est and most satisfactory way is to
pack them away In a dry closet with
the syrup which naturally clings to
them undisturbed. When ready to re
fill rinse them out with hot water or
sap and they will keep sweet and
bright for several years.
Be careful not to select an evapor
ator too large for your camp. If yon

the contents will acquire a scorched
flavor and lead to a suspicion of pa

never again be depended upon for first

(By JAMES D. MARSHA 1,1 Colorado

The color of soils ia governed large

Iron may give fcoiU a red. blue, yel

upon texture, aeraii.m and moisture

comblnatloa of colors formed by the
iron compounds and organic matter
give rise to a great many interm-clate
tints.
As a rule the dark color of soils is
closely associated with the presence
of organic matter, while a I'ght color
