Dreams.
"Oh, I had a beautiful dream last
night," said Mrs. Peckham. "I dream
ed that you had done something heroic
for which the people were all praising
you; but instead of permitting your
nelf to bo carried away by success you
took me in your arms, before the mul
titude, and kissed me, and cried aloud
eo all might hear, that you had had
but one thought in accomplishing your
glorious achievement, and that was
my happiness."
"That was quite a dream." Mr. Peek,
ham answered, "but I had a nicer one.
1 dreamed that you and I had Btarted
alone through a great forest, where
there were many wild beasts. We hat'
gone for miles into the depths. I fully
armed and prepared to protect you
with my life. We were like anothci
Adam and Eve, the only human be
ings there. On and on we went, you
clinging to me and assuring me oi
your faith In me, until finally-"
"Yes, dear," ehe urged, when he
hesitated, "until finally"
"Until finally you let go of my arrr
for a moment and got lost."

"What," asked the teacher, "does
anthracite mean?"
"That's a kind of coal," said little
Willie.
"Yes. Anthracite coal Is what we
call hard coal. So anthracite must
mean hard. Now can you tell me what
bituminous means?"
"That's coal, too," Willie replied.
"13ut it isn't the same kind of coal
that anthracite is, is it? Bituminous
coal is what wo commonly refer to as
soft coal. Now, Willie, let us see if
you can form a sentence containing
the words anthracite and bituminous."
Willie thought the matter over for
a minute and then said:
"Here's one. This morning before
pa started downtown ma wanted $5
for groceries and things, and she tried
to get it by saying bituminous words,
but pa gave her an anthracite look,
and when he disappeared around the
corner she was weeping bituminously."
Their Little Weaknesses.
"Nations and women are a gocd deal
alike."
"In what way?"
"Well, when one woman gets a new
hat her neighbor wants to go right
away and get a better one, and when
one nation builds a new war ship all
the others start right out to get bigger
ones."

Arthur Shafer, Clever New York Shcrt3iop.
Arthur Shafer spoiled a romance? and made a good baseball item when
he reported to the Giants at Mariiu thi3 spring. The romance concerned his
aversion to playing Joseph to Potiphar's wife. The public prints last winter
printed the story that Shafer had decided to quit the game because he ob
jected to so many mash notes. Shafer says the man who sent out the story
exaggerated it, to say the least. He admits he did say that a ball player
was burdened with a lot of scented missives from love-t-kk girls and that
they got mighty tirfsome, but he denies that he ever said a thing like that
would mako him quit baseball. He will play the game, he says and throw
the notes in the waste basket. The Item of Interest to the fans on his report
ing to McGraw was that the leader of the Giants would make him the regular
6hortstop this year in pla.ee of Fletcher. Shafer accepts the job with all its
responsibilities and says he will play out the string. If the girls like him. let
em write, but they must read their answers in the stars; he positively will
aot waste postage making dates.

Tho upper windows are hinged so
they may be swung open at any de

tho weather demands. The lower
front is covered with one-Inch mesh

north wall. A Blngle roost running

A roost shield for cold weather can
be made of a frame the length of the

SULPHURING, THE HEN HOUSE

Once Every Month First Re
move All Combustibles.
To burn sulphur in a poultry house
first remove all combustible matter.
Then put an old Iron kettle Into
dishpan and place cn four bricks In
the middle of the house. In the ket
tie put some cobs which have been
toaked in a solution of one part of
piuo tar to four parts of kerosene,
sprinkle the sulphur over the cobs
and set on fire.
Be sure to have everything arranged
so as to beat a hasty retreat from
the room and close the door quickly
as the sulphur fumes are suffocating.
Sulphur burned in this manner will
penetrate every crevice as well as
covering tho surface and aid3 won

in destroying poultry vermin.
One pint of turpentine may be add
ed to the half gallon of kerosene a3
well as the pine tar with beneficial
results. Once a month is none too
often to burn sulphur in every poultry
house.
