■Upping around the comer when an
upfluug hoof ennght In the harness
and sprawled him on the street. The
driver Jumped out and, assisted by a
pn8«er-by, unbuckled the animal from
the shaft. And then a crowd swarmed.
One of two women pausing on the
fringe of the commotion began voicing
a sympathetic wull:
“Oh, the poor horse—the poor
horse I"
"You better be thinking of poor
Sam! Come on. He'll miss hls lunch
If yon don’t hurry." But the sympathetic waller didn’t want to hurry,
wasn't that kind.
“The poor tiling looks as If he had broken hls leg—Won’t It be awful If
they have to—You haven’t got a bit of pity In you, Jinnle Blank.”
"Never you mind what 1 haven't got! You come along with the basket
before you miss Sam's cur. A man that's been working since before sunup
wants bis hot coffee."
“Hot coffee! What are you talking about, woman? How do you suppose
I can keep the coffee hot all this way, huh?"
“You don’t menn to stnnd there and tell me that you haven’t got a
thermos bottle for Sam—as good a provider as he Is? Why, I wouldn’t hear
of letting one of my boarders eat a cold lunch—not me! 1 got a thermos for
every lost one.”
‘ No, ma'am, I haven’t got no thermos bottle, and lernme tell you some-
thing. The more yon honey up a man the harder lie is to get along with. I
got a rasher of bacon-”
"Ought to be ham. Bacon grease Is no sort of food to give o man,
weather like this. I sent my men off this morning with plenty of ham, a
tomato apiece, four slices of buttered bread, a wedge of pie and hot
cofTae, for all of ’em except old Ben, who likes bis ten. I’ll bet if I was In
your place 8am would get all the hot cofTee he wanted.”
But you aln t in my place—see? Sam wouldn’t look at any other

So that is how you know what Is coming to the broomstick witch.
Too Much to Expect From Frail Femininity
tyASHWGTON'S "Battalion of Death" has gone on its summer vacation
The steady advance of the summer heat was too much for the femlulne
tnw's' iT ?rrUK",l fr°m the varloils government departments. Nlnetv de-
grees tn the shade wag enough to
dampen the enthusiasm of even the
most resolute marcher.
As the mercury crept up, the spir-
its of the soldierettes went down, and
by the time the thermometer began to
register 100 or so as a regular per-
formance, the most enthusiastic
thought It time to knock off until fall.
The girls first began to drill In
preparation for the Red Cross parade.
Regular army and marine drill ser-
geants were loaned by the war depart-
”“t ®y th? ,lmc tbe para(,« off the girls were as proficient as the
!??fv ““S.0ned ,ve eran ln U»e “right oblique" and other orders of parade
They distinguished themselves In the long line marching down Pennsylvania
avenue and the soldierettes liked It. They liked parading. They K betoJ
.nl they d'd it. So they decided to keep In trim during thc foilow
ug months. I arndes follow parados with amazing rapidity in Washington
these duys. The girls thought It well to he prepared. K
But the Ellipse is not the coolest place ln Washington on a summer
afternoon. The soldierettes began to fear that they would be roasted tc
Jenth before getting even half a chance to display their proficiency Then
he min brought out al. the freckles they had‘bl so cS355 guanlng
?f„dn8( ffor 8“ lonf' Eve,i a Summy. provided It Is a feminine one, cuunot be
blamed for objecting)to freckles right on the tips of their noses.
So the battalion decided to adjourn their drill until next full, when the
Jendly freckle will have retired to winter quarters and the girls can drill
with unburdened minds and hearts. 11
iust One of the Pleasures of Postal Clerks
nOSTAGB stamps are little things which one uses day after day and gen-
T erally thinks abont not nt all. And yet hundreds of men nud women
Who make them have to think about them, and the thousands of postal
employees who sell them throughout
the nation have to think about them.
He was dressed in the height ot
fashion. In fact, there was just a
touch too much of fashion about him.
Maybe It was the cane, or maybe it
was the light gloves on a hot day, or
maybe It was tbe too-hfgh collar. There
was too much of something, that wus
evident
He walked Into the drug store on
the corner and strolled over to the
. , .... postal station window. A brisk voumr
American was standing behind the wffidow. "Have you any stomps?" asked
thera.nUMCU a e °ne’ PU,,lu* 8 benvy nccont on th* “stomps" nS he called
“Yes, sir,” said the yonng clerk.
The personage twirled his cane.
“What are they?" he asked, evidently felicitating himself on discoverlm,
l new way to sny "flow much?” ‘ U u,scovenn®
The young clerk answered, pleasantly:
"hy, my dear air, ho said, "they are little pieces of paper with a
picture uu one side and some mucilage on the other." ^ *
lug of a small outfit and $20 In cash,
Mr. (). F. Mnlmberg has accumulated
by farming mid live stock raising as-
sets to tlw value of more than $800.-
000. and has u personal credit, worth
on demand, $100,000. He has not specu-
lated In land, but bought only to farm.
Nenr Blnckle, Alberta, he operates 3.-
100 acres of wheat land. He has just
purchased an additional 11,500 acres
near Cardston, In Southern Alberta.
Hls personal credit enabled him to
finance this deal in Calgary In a little
over three hours. The ranch Just pur-
chased Is a fully equipped stock and
grain ranch. At the present time it
curries a thousand head of cattle and
several hundred horses, and Is fully
equipped with buildings, machinery,
corrals, sheep sheds, dipping vats, etc.
That Is a story from one district. Let
us select one from a district some hun-
dred or more miles from that.
"Peter A. Klassen, who recently
moved to Herbert, Sask„ from Kansas,
has purchased a section of prairie land
In the Hillsboro district, about 24 miles
northwest of Herbert, for which he;
paid $12,000 cash. ||*? Is erecting tem-
porary buildings to live in while put-
ting the place in cultivation, and, this
summer plans to erect good buildings
on the fnrm and equip it for a home.
Mr. Klassen recently sold his 80-acre
farm in Kansas for $15,000 and Is In-
vesting the proceeds In Canada."
With the proceeds of the sale of hls
land ln Kansas, this farmer purchased
In Saskatchewan a piece eight times ns
lurge ns he had previously been farm-
ing. and had a balance with which to
purchase equipment, stock, etc., of $3,-
00(». Moreover as land In Saskatche-
wan may he expected to yield twice us
much grain per acre, lie will he able
to produce sixteen times ns much ns
formerly.
The average vnlne of farm land for
the whole of Canada, Including land 1
Improved and unimproved, together
with dwelling houses, burns, stables j
*nd other farm buildings. Is tipproxl- j
