POINTS FOR CHICKEN RAISERS Evidently Written by One Who Has No Particular Liking for the ! Humble “Biddy.” Chickens are the most dad-busted, uncertainest creatures that walk the family acre. Not the kind of chick- | ens this lady who is wearing O. Hen- ry's kimono—beg pardon, mantle— | writes about, but our old, familiar, feathered friends. Never raised any? Well, you will, | all right. Most universal pursuit in | this whole wide world, outside of pay- ing bills. Merchant, banker, broker, farmer, city man, commuter—almost everybody tries to raise chickens at some time or another. Looks easy— that's the deceiving part of it. ! And it is easy, after you learn one | thing: Little chickens don't know | anything, medium-sized chickens don’t | know anything, big chickens don't | know anything. If there is any change | of an intellectual nature as the size | increases, the big ones know less, if | possible, than the little ones. If there is a wire partition in your | pen, with an open door at one end, the chickens will try to plunge | through the wire instead of going | round and walking through the door. | In the course of time, when the birds | get heavy, they will hang themselves | trying to do this if you don’t watch them. i Hen chickens are more valuable than roosters, because they can lay | eggs if they will. But if you take | a dozen small chickens and raise them carefully, it is always surprising | how many of them turn out to be | roosters. Sometimes they will sprout | tail feathers at the very last minute, just when you are thinking they ought to be ready to lay eggs. At this time you must get busy with the barnyard guillotine, or ax, as it is fa- | miliarly called.—Puck. i ‘SHALL ENGLISH GIVE THANKS Some Favor Suspending the Regular Service on This Occasion Be- cause of No Harvest. The discussion which is taking place just now as to the propriety of hold- ing harvest thanksgiving services in our churches well illustrates the be- wilderment which prevails among ed- ucated churchmen struggling to recon- cile their more enlightened view of Nature with ecclesiastical traditions. Some are disposed to hold that a display of public gratitude for bene- fits so clearly withheld would savor of ineptitude. What earnestness or spir- itual worth, they ask, can attend so indiscriminate a thanksgiving? If you ask and do not receive, ought you to be as thankful for benefits witheld as for benefits bestowed. Theology apart, common sense re- volts against a ceremonial which in so literal a sense goes against the grain. Some protest against the empty falsehood of a service wherein is sung the hymn beginning “When all is safely gathered in.” How can farm- ers, crossing thelr blackened fields to enter a gayly decorated church, be ex- pected to join in a chorus of grat itude?—I.ondon Nation. i APPEALED TO THEIR CUPIDITY Comparatively Well-to-Do Residents of Yokohama Got Rice Intended For the Poor. The nearest Japan has yet come to the “free soup kitchen” idea, so com- mon in the western countries in times of scarcity, says the Japanese Adver- tiser, was the “poor man’s rice mar- ket” at Toeb and Motomachi in Yoko- hama Sunday. This market opened Sunday morning and will continue for a week, during which the needy can purchase Rangoon rice at the cost of 16 sen a cho. ‘ The opening of the market was a signal for considerable disorder, sharp trading and deceit. The promoters of the sale, Mr. Abe, a director of the Yokohama Rice Exchange, and his as- soclates were disconcerted at the close of the day's business to learn that many well to do persons had vis- ited one or the other of the stores and had purchased five cho of Rangoon rice, which was the maximum limit for the purchaser. In fact the number of those who were sufficiently well to do to purchase rice at the outside market price was so numerous that many of the deserv- ‘Ing poor who came to the sale were crowded out and returned to their homes at the close of business for the day with empty baskets. ~ The miscarriage of plans in this way led the promoters to seek the aid of the police and yesterday the store- keepers were instructed to sell ricq to no person unless he or she produced a certificate from the city office that he The scenes at the two stores were boisterous and caused the police to be called in on several occasions to get the crowds in order.

ROMANCE OF THE PICNIC AND PEASLY — What Happened When the “Old Man” Went for an Outing. BY LOUISE OLNEY. (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literarv Press.) The office was sorry for Peasly, but sorry in polite silence. Even the crass unthinkingness of youth does | not tell a man that he is nearly past | what is called “marrying time,” that | his shoulders begin to stoop from desk | . work, that his hair is thinning at the | temples, that a boarding house is no | home—finally, height of woe—that he | has no “girl.” The office would not | have known just how to put it, eith- | | er, so its silence was inarticulateness the desk, but silent. I knew you could as well as courtesy. Not that Peasly | noticed them particularly, If he thought of them at all it was that | they were a giggly lot—if the boss happened to step out, and that some- | times he had to add a column of fig- | ures up twice because of their chat- ter. This afternoon Harrington was i | leaning over the typist, and sharpen- ing her pencils while she turned her | fresh young face up to him and spoke | of dancing somewhere. Then Norton | and Miss Farley chinned in, and even Saunders relaxed from his managerial | task and listened. They planned a Saturday afternoon | office force—"and friends"—picnic, and Peasly felt left out. Nobody | thought of or included him. He bent his kind, rugged face over his work. | What did he care? He had not been | to a picnic for ages. He did not want | to go now—but they might have asked him; ke was human. i Then it happened—and Diana Far- | ley spoke: “Mr. Peasly, you'll have to come along, too. You mump over | your work. You'll dry up and blow away some day. Come on with the rest of us.” The others almost gasp- ed, covertly watching the girl. Was it one of her sudden jokes? He looked | at her demure brown eyes and calm face. “All right,” he said. “I'll be glad to go.” He had surprised himself—and the office. An hour later Harrington on leav- ing the office stopped to whisper to Miss Farley as she pinned on her hat. “What made you ask him?” The girl gave him an amused look from her deep eyes. “The romance of it—and of him,” she sald. Harrington went his way with a shrug. Diana Farley was always a little beyond him—Nora was more his sort—bloomy and understandable and young. Diana must have been twenty- seven and had a wise little look that | [I - un {HEL TI 138 is 2) “] Couldn't Leave the Office.” somehow made Harrington uncomfort- ably doubtful concerning his own wis- dom, beauty and desirability. Saturday, despite its reputation for rain, came off fair. A laughing dozen people, all young but Peasly, bas. ket-laden, laughing and chatting, took a suburban car and made for a picnic ground near a small, tree-begirt lake. They were all in pairs, and before Diana Farley knew it, Peasly had charge of her. The others had as- signed him to her as her due punish- ment, but she was apparently taking it as a joy. Harrington, literal crea- ture, thought “romance” meant noth- ing but falling in love, and being but twenty-one himself, thought that thir ty-five had no heart. Robert Peasly shone that day. He renewed his youth. His very shoul- ders seemed to straighten, his eye was bluer and brighter, his kindly, rugged face alive with interest. He was ev- erywhere at once, amusing, interest. ing, a self the office had hitherto not suspected. He made coffee over a campfire, and told stories that sent everybody into a laugh. What had happened to old sobersides? They glanced inquiringly at each other. When the sun set the men were call ing him “old man,” and othér good- fellowship turns, Nora was trying to flirt with him tentatively, but Diana was demure and quiet as always. It was after the moon began to sail up, like a great white bubble, that the pairing off began again, It was a of it—and of me?” mile to the car line, and they all set off on the walk, stragglingly, for who can hurry on a summer evening? It was then that Robert Peasly and Diana fell behind, according to his will and plan. It was then that something really happened. It took the girl off her guard, and left her speechless, and a little white, for she was tender of heart, and would not have hurt a fly. “So you asked me—for the romance She had not a word to say but he searched the sincere face turned brave- ly to his look in the bright moonlight, and found only truth and kindness | there. i “Do you know what the romance of | me is?” t She shook her head and faltered out, “It is romance to discover a new —person—a new friend, to find the things that are hidden in people. I meant nothing—but kindness—pleas- ure to myself and you and the rest! You know that! You were always at not be unlike other people—I knew you were really interesting—and—you are.” “You—have found me, certainly,” he interrupted; “you were bound to do that, you couldn't have helped your- self. But do you know what you have found? You couldn't even guess at the romance of it!" He stopped a mo- ment, and bade her sit beside him on a fallen tree. The summer breeze rustled the leaves, a night-bird whis- tled and the moon shone. Diana was very still—she had long known that which she dared not admit to herself. She waited for him. “Well,” he said, “I am your punish- ment for the day—I am at least dis- cerning—and you take to it like a sportsman. You meant to be kind to an officeridden wretch who might have been free six months ago—but for you." “What do you mean?’ she asked, seeing that he waited for a question. “I mean that it is not easy to leave an office where you have been for ten years, when you like everybody, and your work has meade a rut in your brain. I don't kncw how—to use it.” “Use your brain—use what?” “Use—money.” His simple words left her unenlightened, but he went on. “I don't know how to use—leisure. And I couldn't leave the office—while you were in it. I never showed you how I felt about you, did I? I had pride enough not to do that, especially when the boss—and you—when he in- tended to—ask you to marry him.” She flushed. “Are you utterly crazy?” she asked. “You must know—that I never could think of—Mr. Hartley— he—" Rebert Peasly began to talk. “I think I can put the case plainly, Di- ana. In short, six months ago a rela tive left me a lot of money and a home. It should have been mine as an orphan child, but I was cheated out of it. I have lived a drudge's life. The relative was a woman, and be- cause she was what she was, I have hated women. That was until two years ago when you came to Hartley's. 1 loved you—I loved you, but I knew nothing about love, nor how to tell you, and I knew you could not love me. I made myself content with see- ing you every day. I have done utter- ly romantic things. Can you believe that I have picked up withered flow- ers you have worn and followed you home and passed your house at night, wondering which window was yours, for all the world like a boy in a story? Did you know?” She shook her head. “And when this money came I had hope for a day or two. Then—I hap- pened to overhear what wasn't meant for me—I knew how the boss—" “He wouldn't—dare to love me—I—" the tears came, and as she turned to him he put an arm about her. It came very easy and naturally. He found that love-making does not have to be learned, and drew her close to him and held her there. “Forgive me,” he sald, “but it's heaven to me—" “What—do you—think it is to me— you foolish, foolish—" She lifted her head and pushing him away sprang up and stood lightly before him holding her hands clasped like a happy child. “I think,” she said “that I have been as good at keeping a—romance to my- self as you are. I think we are both stupid—especially you. Can't you guess my romance?’ He rose and reached for her, but she evaded him. “Tell me,” he pleaded. “I dare not guess! The guess would be to please myself, Diana.” “That might not be—far wrong.” “Diana—do you-——care?” She came to him willingly enough this time, but not for long. She jumped up and pull. ed him with her. “We musn't miss that car.” He wondered why they mustn't. He did not care about the car, but a wom- an always has her reasons. He meek- ly accepted her decision—for this oc- caslon. Gold Coins Show Wear, Are the gold coins of the United States to circulate until their denomi- nations are effaced? Out west, where many of them are in the banks and in the pockets of the people, the abraded ‘coins are never presented to the sub- treasuries for redemption, because, un- like the silver coins, they cannot be redeemed at their face value. Below the “limit of tolerance” permitting a loss in weight of one-half of one per cent, the treasury deducts four cents a grain. The worn coins maintain their parity of value only by consent of*individuals passing and receiving them.~New York Times. ~ Dissipation That Kills, Eating too much receives more en- couragement than any other form of dissipation, and probably kills more Buggies. | Money to Loan.
