- T"n*on farmers' smoke
houses in Kansas City nowadays.
The factories are rather slow about
coming to the field, but they are com-
ing ail the same.
Always when the world has a great
crisis, it is the plow that furnishes
the "man of the hour."
When you don't have to buy some-
thins to eat, there is little occasion
to rush tile cotton to the market.
The fearful rainstorms in Texas and
Oklahoma and Arkansas have cut
down the crops, cotton along with
the rest of them.
How is that flower yard you plant-
ed for the frau last spring getting
on? Don't you think that you should
sorter superintend il along from time
to time?
The vegetables you grow in your
own garden have probably not been
exposed to all the filth and dirt that
those go through which are shipped
in.
Beat the doctor by having plenty of
good water on your place for all do- j
mestic uses, and plenty of good vege- j
tables and fruit for your "internal i
economy."
V/atuable Louse Treatment.
"Weary not in well doing" applies
as much to chicken woik as it do,
to the Lord's work. It takes time and
attention to raise a large number ol
chickens.
Many people plan largely early in
the spring, set every hen that clucks
and stays on the nest over night.
When the chicks are hatched, their
enthusiasm has vanished, and the>
turn the chickens loose to the mer-
cies of the lice and mites, with onl>
a little feed thrown to them now and
then, and wonder why "I never have
any luck with chickens?" Again, som«*
few overdo the thing. One man I
knew (by the way, a man who does
not know how to care for chickens)
put a prepared liquid lice killer in a
spraying machine, sprayed them with
it, full strength, when at roost, and
next morning carried off a lot which
he said had died of cholera.
We have no cholera in the Panhan
die But I do really believe lice-
the big lice, -not mites—cause nine-
tenths of the Ills which befall young
chickens. Before 1 learned how to
rid fowls of lice I lost half I had
hatched, but now I lose very few.
Out of eighty five I have lost only
three this year.
Get some good lice powder—not in
sect powder, but lice powder, especial
ly prepared for poultry—put some in
a pepper box; dust the little fellows
when you take them off the nest Put
them in an air-tight box (I use a paste-
board shoe l>ox) for three to five min-
utes;; the lice will fall off dead in the
bottom of the box. Do thi-s twice
each week for two weeks and then
once a week until they are weaned.
Feed them intelligently and you will
raise them nearly all in the Panhan-
dle, or at least 1 do. But those Rhode

* WRIGHT A. PATTERSON
?HEN old Peter Brown died
he left his fortnne—a very
sizable one—(o his grand-
son, P. ('hawley Brown, as
the young man signed it,
v or "Dickey" Brown as he
was familiarly known to his intimates.
But the foilune had conditions at-
tached, conditions that were "a beast-
ly bore, don't you know."
Old Peter had been one of the old
settlers of Plumville; liis son had
been born there and married there,
and "Dickey" had first seen the light
of day at the same place. But with
the increase of fortune "Dickey's"
mother had developed society lean-
ings, and she had taken "Dickey"
east where she could dabble in the
edges of the society sea, and "Dickey"
had grown up in the atmosphere of
Saratoga and Newport, with an occa-
sional visit to London when the 4 sea-
son" was on.
When it came to the question of a
university nothing short of Oxford
would answer; all America was too
provincial to be thought of. So it was
that he spent the greater part of his
teens and neared his majority in Eng-
land, at all times a willing student of
English snobbery.
It was with considerable disgust
that Dickey read ihe letter from his
American lawyers warning him that
If he wished to have the handling of
his grandfather's money after his
twenty fifth birthday ft would be nec-
essary to comply with the old gentle-
man s expressed command Ujat he
spend each of his birthdays from his
twenty flrpt to his twenty fifth in his
native town of Plumville.
"A beastly bore, don't you know,"
said Dickey, as he read the letter for
the third time. I say now. why could
not t he old codger have left that out?"
It was on the first of July that
Dickey arrived at Plumville, monocle,
brilliantly checked trousers, whito
spats, walking stick and nil the other
essentials without which life in Lon-
don would be scarcely worth the living.
Plumville just at that time was very
much imbued with a spirit of patriot-
ism, and looked at everything English
very much as the audience looks upon
the villain in the show The town was
going to celebrate, ani they were go-
ing to do it on a vh / big scale—for
Plumville. Everything had been ar-
ranged for with the exception of the
evenings fireworks when the ub
scribed funds began to run low, and
it seemed as though Plumville's cele-
bration was not destined to wind up
in a blaze of glory. Rather, that was
the way it seemed before Dickey b ar-
rival.
The finance committee of the cele-
bration felt that he should and would
provide the needed funds for the fire-
works, and the chairman waited upon
him at once and broached the subject.
What Dickey said to the chairman
that official did not repeat, but he did
report to the committee that the funds
for the fireworks would be forthcom-
ing, and the town paper contained the
following notice on the morning of the
third:
EXTRAORDINARY CELEBRATION
ATTRACTION!
Tho committee on arrangements of
the Plumville Fourth of July celebra-
tion, announce the engagement of a
GENUINE ENGLISH LION.
The only one in captivity in this
country. He will be securely caged,
and will provide entertainment by
roaring when his tail is twisted.
DO NOT FAIL TO SEE IT.
The admission price will be 25 cents.
When Fourth of July morning
dawned, a large size tent was one of
the features of the grounds on which
the celebration was to be held. Across
it in large letters was the sign:
THE ENGLISH LION—HEAR IT
ROAR!
The curiosity of the visitors and
the townspeople was at white heat,
and they flocked into the tent as soon
as it was opened.
There was Dickey in a hastily con-
structed cage, securely bound down on
all fours, properly arrayed in his
checked trousers, white spats, with his
monocle fastened securely in place
and himself decorated with a bushy
tail. The chairman's young hopeful,
garbed in continental uniform and
cocked hat, was operating the tail-
piece. This was but a doubled strand
of rope fitted around Dickey's stom-
ach so tightly that when given an
extra twist or two it became torture
to the victim, and produced the prom-
ised roar.
The crowd went wild with delight
at the novelty of the entertainment
while Dickey roared, and howled, and
swore, and vowed vengeance upon
Plumville and the entire nation.
The $100 worth of fireworks with
which Plumville wound up its celebra-
tion were promptly paid for when the
bill was presented. Dickey spent his
birthday in bed in the town hospital,
and has not been heard from since the
day following, though the fame of
Plumville's British lion hag spread
from ocean to ocean. Should he fall
to return for his birthday this year,
the town will be able to replace the
present hospital with a more commodi-
ous structure out of the old gentle-
man's fortune which it Inherits,
should Dickty not meet the condition®
of Ihe will.
