LOTTIE BRETT'S
WINDHAM EXPERIENCE
By Gertrude L. Stone.
When Lottie Brett came down to
sjupper wearing her pink waist, the
other girls at Miss Gordon's table
knew that the thermometer of Lottie's
spirits registered high.
"The Bowdolng glee and mandolin
clubs are going to give a concert at
.Windham a week from next Saturday
night," &he announced, as soon as
there was opportunity. "I saw their
pictures In the drug store window this
afternoon. I want to go. Don't the
rest ot you?"
The Idea met with Instant approval
en the part of the other girls.
"Of course I want to go," said Lil
lian Walker. "Don't I live next door
to one of the tenors, and haven't I
played with him since lie wore
dresses?"
"I should like to go because my con
eln is leader of the glee club," said
Edith Wallace, with obvious pride. No
other girl at Wlnthrop Heights Sera
1 Inary could claim that distinction.
"Well, my brother's chum Is In the
mandolin club," added Lottie Brett.
"Which accounts for your musical
ability, does it?' asked Lillian Walk
er teasingly, for the cheerSul Lottie
was hopelessly unmusical.
"No, for my interest in music, and
hows that it is on the same founda
tion as yours," she retorted so prompt
ly as to crush other remarks. "Will
you chaperon us if Doctor Manning
will give us permission to go?" she
asked of Miss Gordon, the teacher
who presided at the table. Miss Gor
don was willing to go, and later Doc
tor Manning's consent was readily ob
tained. Just before supper on the night of
the concert Miss Gordon went to the
principal to tell him she understood
that some of the college boys of Wind
tarn and their friends had arranged
tor a little dance to follow the con
cert. She fancied that the girls had
known of It longer than She had, and
that It accounted In part for the in
terest in the concert and the fact that
her party numbered eighteen. "They
want to know if hey may stay," she
atd.
"No," answered Doctor Manning. "If
the .concert is over in time for you to
take the ten-ten car, I think you had
better come home. Since the cars run
only once an hour, the next one would
keep you out later than seems to be
desirable on a Saturday night."
"May we stay to the dance?" the
ilrls asked, eagerly, at the supper
table. "Not if the concert Is through in
time for us to take the ten-ten car,"
reported Miss Gordon.
"It won't be," said Lottie optimis
tically. "The boys will be called back
over and over again at least, they
Were when I heard them last year."
Such is the power many persons
have of convincing themselves that
iwhat they desire to have come to
pass must somehow happen, that
when the party reached the hall, and
Miss Gordon counted her charges, she
noticed that almost without exception
they were dressed for dancing. It
was, Indeed, a very attractive group
the chaperon saw; and anxious to
nave the girls enjoy themselves, al
though not anxious to remain until
' the last car, she Indulged In the hope
that the concert would be short, and
that the girls might have the fun of
a few dances before the. ten-ten car.
The concert began promptly; the
audience was enthusclastlc; the two
clubs generous In their encores but
prudent ias- regarded their length, for
although there was no public an
nouncement of the fact they had
agreed to end their program at fif
teen minutes before ten. They did
not, however, make their final bow to
the audience until ten minutes before
the hour. Miss Gordon saw the futil
ity of further hope that there might
be time for a dance or two, but she
beard Lottie Brett give away the first
three dances without a shade of doubt
In her gay voice. The ushers pushed
the seats back and the committee of
arrangements seemed to be hurrying
preparations in all possible ways, but
the orchestra was not even In place
when Miss Gordon sent round word
to ber party that it was time to
leave. '
Some of the faces, bright . and
charmir.g' a few minutes before, were
decidedly unattractive as 'the group
passed down-stairs to take the car.
"It's Just as mean as it can be!" de
clared Edith Wallace. "Doctor Man
' nlng wouldn't care. He said we might
stay If the concert wasn't over."
"She doesn't want to stay nerself,
and she doesn't care whether we have
a good time or not. -Horrid old cat!"
ald June Dennison. "I'm going to
Btay and take the special car after
the dance, and-go to Aunt May's to
spend the night Come, too, 'Edith.
Aunt May would love to have you.
She'll be on our side."
Lottie Brett bringing up the rear of
the party could not help hearing the
conversation between the two room
mates. With her excitable and Impul
sive temperament there seemed to her
at that moment Just one desirable
thing in the world, and that was to
be allowed to stay to the dance. Why
should she not, too, wait and take
the later cart
There was not much time to think
about it. Almost as soon as the side
walk was reached, the ten-ten car ap
peared and stopped, and a file ot
cross, disappointed girls began to en
ter It. Miss Gordon, young and In
experienced in chaperoning, stepped
in when It was naturally ber turn.
Halt the girls were behind her. Soon
the car moved on, and when Miss
Gordon looked about (her it was to
find that three of her party were
missing. She did not see that it
would be the sensible thing for her
to jump off as quickly as possible and
go back, since the fifteen on the car
had shown they could do without a
chaperon much better than the three
who stayed behind. Tg her mind, she
was responsible for a party and that
party was on the car.
Lottie Brett came to herself before
the car had gone far. Then she
waved her hand frantically and called,
but no one appeared to notice her.
She started to run us Wit. middle of C
the street, to the great amusement of
June Dennison and Edith Wallace,
who had yielded to their temptation
the moment Miss Gordon had stepped
on board. They toad slipped away
from the others and gone round back
of the car.
"Come back!" they called once, but
Lottie did not heed them. She stum
bled along the car track for almost a
block while the car was In sight; then
realizing that she would attract at
tention, she hurried along the side
walk. No thought of the dance entered
her mind her one all-controlling Idea
was that Ehe ought to go home. There
was no car for an hour, and there
was nothing for her to do but walk as
fast as she was able. To be openly
disobedient was a new experience for
Lottie, and the immediate effect was
to make her feel sick at heart. It
was five miles home. It was nfter
ten o'clock, it was dark and she was
decidedly timid, but after the wave of
unavailing rep-ret broke over her, It
would have taken physical force to
keep her from the journey home.
She was on the outskirts of the
city in twenty minutes. Then there
were four miles of country road.
There weTe frequent houses, but at
half past ten most of them were
dark. There were several long inter
vals without a house. Lottie was
thoroughly frightened and thoroughly
miserable, but it never occurred to
her to turn back. With the determin
ation that was her endearing quality
she kept on; she ran, she walked, part
of the time she travelled along the
car-track; then again she tried the
road. Once a carriage came along,
but she hid behind a tree until it had
passed.
When she was half way home It
seemed to her that she could not hold
out for the remaining distance, but
she stopped running so often, and
found she could keep on. The last
half-mile, in fact, was the easiest In
some respects. Most of the time she
was covering that distance she could
hear the last car approaching. It
overtook and passed her. She made
no effort to hail It for she did not
wish to so any one who might her,
but the lights were company and
comfort. When the car had reached
the end of the line Lottie nerved her
self for one more burst of speed, and
not more than ten minutes, after a
passehger from the car should have
reached the seminary, Lottie stumbled
the steps.
Mis3 Winthrop, the preceptress, and
Miss Gordon had met the car, and
failing to find any of the missing ones,
had returned to the seminary. Doctor
Manning was away. Just what to do
at midnight to find the two lost girls
was the serious question confronting
the teachers when the bell rang, and
Miss Winthrop gladly admitted Lottie.
"Where are the others?" demanded
poor, overwrought Miss Gordon. s
"Gone to June's Aunt May's!" Lot
tie gasped, and burst into a tearful
apology to Miss Gordon.
With Intense relief, but uncon
cealed disgust In her expression, Miss
Gordon, when she had heard the In
coherent apology, turned sharply and
went to her room to have her cry
there. Miss Winthrop, left with the
sobbing girl, took her to her 'own
room, and with the practise of years
soon had her calm enough to explain
matters.
"I want to see Doctor Manning,"
was Lottie's one desire;
"He is away, and moreover, you
could not see him at this time of night
If he were at home. What you must
do is to take a hot bath and an alco
hol rub, and get into bed at once. You
are not accustomed to running five
miies, you know."
On Monday morning Lottie fairly
welcomed the sight of Doctor Man
ning's automobile. "Will it be right
for me to go now?' she asked, eagerly,
as soon as the principal alighted; and
when the desired assent wns given,
she flew across the campus quite as
fast as he had travelled In her Satur
day night Journey.
"I am sorrier than I can tell," said
she, when she had given an account
of the matter In her usual honest and
graphic way, "but I don't see that
there are any extenuating circum
stances. I simply did not mlnct until
it was too late to make minding of
any value."
"No," said Doctor Manning, repress
lng a smile, "there seem to be no
extenuating circumstances, but you
really seem to have punished yourself
pretty thoroughly already. I should
never have dared Use so drastic a
punishment as a five-mile walk at mid
night along a country foad, but as It
seems to have cleared your moral vis
Ion, we will call the matter settled,
and record a new use for violent phy
sical exercise. On the whole," and
the doctor's eye twinkled "I really
thmkfor so unmusical a person, you
paid pretty high for concert privileges,
don't you."
So the Windham experience came
to an end, as far as Lottie Brett's pun
ishment was concerned, although Miss
Gordon was incensed when she heard
of the outcome.
"You don't mean that Lottie Brett
is not to have any punishment." she
asked Miss Winthrop.
"I mean that Doctor Manning thinks
she has punished herself enough," an
swered the older teacher.
"Then of course I've nothing more
to say," replied Miss Gordon, frigidly,
"though I cannot understand it."
"No," thought Miss Winthrop, "you
can't, and it is of no use to try to
explain to you. You never acted on
impulse In all yourshort but well-ordered
life, and you don't know what
it Is to be sorry, because you have
always been perfectly sure you were
right." Youth's Companion.
MOLASSES IN THE TOBACCO.
That Is Why the Smoker's Tongue Is
Burned Occasionally.
"Say, I'll have to drop this brand
of smoking. It nearly burns the tongue
off me. What's the matter with It?"
said the smoker.
"It's been made up with a little bit
too much molasses," said the tobac
conist. "The tobacco intended for win
ter cale always has a little more mo
lasses in It than summer tobacco.
"They've several reasons for adding
molasses to tobacco," he continued,
coming back to the end of the count
er. "In the first place, If the leaf
wasn't made just the least bit sticky
it would be apt to crumble to a very
fine powder that would choke up your
pipe, especially In winter, when to
bacco gets extremely dry.
"So when they add a little molass
es to the cut leaf they make a thin,
sticky' film over it. This keeps the
tobacco in good shape and the mo
lasses locks the nicotine in the body of
the leaf.
"Nicotine, you know, will evapor
ate auu be lost if the tobacco Is ex
posed long enough. Then when the
nicotine Is gone you might as well
smoke the cabbage leaf the comic pa
pers talk so much about for all the
satisfaction you get.
"Plug tobacco is simply leaf glued
together with molasses and then
pressed into a block. It you'll take a
plug of smoking and put it in a damp
place outside somewhere and then
come back after a week or two to
look at it you'll see a pile of square
cut leaves, perhaps five or six Inches
high. This Is because the tobacco will
have lost its molasses glue, not from
the molasses having been washeu oft
the leaf, but from its having ferment
ed Into vinegar.
"The film of molasses keeps the leat
moist and pliable. This is because of
the sugar crystals in it. If you've ever
noticed salt in wet weather you'll of
ten have seen how it gathered the
wet. The sugar crystals acts exactly
like the crystals ot salt, but to ft less
degree.
"When you fellows that smoke pipes
say that tobacco burns your tongue
you're away off. The tobacco hasn't a
thing to do with It, and your tongue
istj't being burnt, it's being scalded."
"From the moisture in the tobac
co?" asked the customer.
f'Partly," sa.u the tobacconist, "but
mostly from moisture you'd not think
was in the tobacco. There's a great
deal of water in the little sugar cry
stals over and above what you'd ex
pect they might collect from the air.
When jou melt this sugar In -your
pipe each crystal dissolves first in a
little pool of water, and makes mate
rial for steam, in addition to the free
water in the tobacco that you can't
feel with your ftngerB.
"This hot Bteam makes a regular
steam heating system between the)
bowl of your pipe and your tongue,
and while you think your tongue is
being 'burnt' you're actually getting
it pai boiied."
"Has all tobacco molasses in it?"
the customer asked.
"No," said the tobacconist. "The
very cheap tobacco smoked by the
natives of Cuba, Porto Rico, liexico,
and those countries, in the form of
cigarettes, hasn't any molasses in It.
Molasses isn't needed once the manu
facturers have their leaf made up in
the form of cigarettes, because they
us a very hen'-v "top- -blinder, with
the ends tucked In. This keeps the
leaf from lai.n. out, oon if it's
crushed a little through the thick pa
per. "You'll get 25 of those cigarettes
for about- two cents. The working
men smoke them all the time because
they're too lazy even to roll their own
cigarettes. The coolest pipe smoke
you ever had will be yours if you'll
ohly go to the uother of buying a few
bunches of those , cigarettes and
emptying the tobacco into a Jar."

Feeding Too Much Corn.
A Reader at Muncle says: "I have
a flock of Leghorn hens which are
seemingly very healthy; they eat
heartily; have red combes, and mostly
lay well. But sometimes we find them
lying on their sides and unable to get
up. We lift them up and they can
walk perhaps for a little while, but fin
ally seem to lose all use of their legs.
These same chickens will eat heartily
and do not look sick. They have
clean quarters and plenty of food and
fresh water. We feed mostly corn
and table soraps, and they have a wide
range so get all the green stuff they
need."
Our Mr. Cllpp replies: The fowls
are evidently suffering with excessive
fat, leave off the corn and feed more
wheat bran, in shallow box slatted
over top so that they cannot soil it
with their feet. Give a few drops of
turpentine In drinking water twice a
week until the fowls are fully restored

Don't for Incubators.
Don't shake your Incubator or the
incubating eggs, as It ruptures the em
bryos and causes the chickens to die
In the shell.
Don't have dirty, oily lamps or short
wicks that smell up the Incubator
room.
Don't put the thermometer where
the first chick that comes out of the
shell will knock It down.
Don't worry about the hatch on the
last day. See that the temperature
Is 0. K. and forget it.
Don't use the incubator for a wash
bench.
Don't set the machine In the hen
house where vermin will get into it.
Don't lend your maohlne. Let the
other fellow Invest in one also; It
will do him good.
Don't forget that the brooder must
be' ready for the chicks, so don't wait
until the last moment before getting it
cleaned and warmed up.
When you take the eggs out of the
machine to air, It does not mean to
cool them; although they do cool in
the airing. When the eggs are airing,
the Incubator door should be closed in
order to keep the egg chamber warm.
It often takes an hour for, eggs to re
heat after being aired. Poultry

The Herd Boar.
F. B. Coburn, excellent authority on
swine, in his book on swine Bays that
whenever possible the breeder ought
to inspect personally the animal he
selects as a herd boar, but when un
able to do this and he has no compe
tent representative, he should endea
vor to make the best selection possi
ble by mall by detailing his needs,
and the deficiencies ot his sows. Or
dering by mail should be considered a
last resort, to be done only when the
purchaser cannot buy near home, or
for other good reasons Is unable to
give his personal attention to the se
lection. When that Is the case the
purchase should be made from a breed
er known to be reputable and the
needs of the buyer and the price he
figures on paying should be definitely
stated in the letter as the attitude of
one who expects the best possible for
bis outlay. All men who have had
much to do with the selling of pure
bred boars are familiar with the buyer
who insists that "you must get hlra
down as low as you can he must be
cheap, as I have written to a number
of other breeders." A man of this
stamp is likely to want a boar of al
most Impossible make-up for a very
small sum. He is less likely to do well
in his purchase than the man who will
frankly state the type of boar he needs
and the amount of money he can afford
or intends to Invest. The chances are,
too, that the latter procedure - will
bring much the better treatment.
Cement Tile For Draining.
While In the southern part of Illi
nois I was strongly impressed with
their tile drainage, especially the ce
ment tilling.
Some of the fields were fairly pro
ductive, but contained a few wet ucres
that delayed plowing and cultivating.
These fields had been drained and
the yield increased to a great extent.
Then there were low lands that had
been thoroughly tiled, and in sever
al cases the owners of these farms
told me that they had made their own
tile, and that the first year's trop had
more than paid for their machine and
the expense of tiling.
One fact that was particularly
brought to my sight was that cement
tile are the coming tile. This cannot
help but be realized When one consid
ers their draining qualities and great
durability. Cement tile are porous
throughout their entire length while
the clay product is Impervious ex
cept at the Joints. As an experiment
of my own, I have found that freezing
has no effect on cement tile. As a
farmer should consider all these points
It goes to show he must have the best
tile.
I recently read in a dally newspaper
that the United States government
put in, between March 25th and April
1st, one week, 750,000 cubic yards ot
cement construction on the Panama
canal. This will have to stand the ac
tion of the salt water and all obnor
mal conditions.
If the government will use cement
to such an extent I see no reason
why cement tile should not give entire
satisfaction. I would be glad to hear
the views other readers may have on
this subject through the columns of
your paper. A Reader in the Indiana
Farmer.
Facts About Producing Milk.
Prof. H. H. Wing of the Cornell Uni
versity experiment station has been
making some investigations relative
to the cost of producing milk. He has
also made numerous experiments with
large cows against small ones and the
relative producing capacity of cows
that consume a large amount of feed
as compared with those that consume
a small amount. Under New York con
ditions he finds that with a fairly good
herd carefully fed and kept, milk can
be produced for sixty-five cents per
cwt. and butter fat for sixteen cents
per pound. This estimate is for food
alone, and does not include the ex
pense of labor, nor interest on the in
vestment. These figures are much
higher than those given out by several
other experiment stations and we be
lieve come nearer the actual facts as
they concern the average farmer.
Pie emphasizes the statements that
we have so frequently made that there
is more difference in cows than in
breeds. He finds from his experiments
that individuals of the same breed vary
more widely In milk and butter produc
tion than do the breeds themselves. In
his experiments the large animals con
sume less pounds of dry material per
1,000 pounds live weight, per day, than
do the smaller animals.
The cows that give the richest milk
do not according to the results of his
Investigations always give the great
est quantity ot butterfat He finds that
in general the best yields of fat were
obtained from cows that gave at least
a fairly large flow of milk. In gen
eral the cows consuming the most
food produce both milk and tat at the
lowest cost, and for the production of
milk and fat there is no food so cheap
as good pasture grass. Sweet, succu
lent, pasture grass Is of itself a bal
anced ration; it seems to contain the
necessary elements In about the right
proportion for the most economical
production of milk. In Its succulent
condition it Is an ideal form for assimi
lation and Its laxative properties con
tribute to her healtbfulness. It Is sel
dom that we find a cow out of condi
tion while running on a good pasture.
We can learn from this that we should
make her winter feed conform as near
ly as possible to that of pasture grass.
In short, silage, roots, or some other
.succulent food of this character, should
always be a part ot her winter ration.
Farm Notes.
Better sell half the Btock and givo
all of the feed to what remains than
to stint the whole herd.
Deep, rich soil, ot an alluvial na
ture, soli which contains plenty of
humus, is excellent for planting small
fruits.
A small blemish in a riding or driv
ing horse will not only lower the value
of horse but will very often prevent
the sale entirely.
A farmer who takes pride in driving
a draft team will make horse breeding
successful, and good draft teams will
make successful farmers. (
It should always be remembered
whf.n purchasing if the horse has any
thing faulty it will not grow less but
probably will grow worse.
Animals kept in cold quarters have
to consume more grain in order to
maintain the warmth of their bodies,
and in severely cold weather, if ex
posed, will not fatten at all.
Don't let any weeds go to seed In the
garden, for you are making yourself
unnecessary work another year by al
lowing the pests to multiply. Clean
up the beds and walks and burn all
trash that might harbor insects.
