A Story of th. PoM and Lucy Laroom's Qraan P.ratol. John Ureenleaf Whittier, moet : modest and retirini? of celebrities, became at the height of his famo 1 amusingly expert in discerning hero worshipers afar and eluding their 1 overtures. , A recent anecdote relates that once while strolling in the country with his friend and fellow poet, Lucy Larcom, he perceived two wo-' men apDroachintr whom hB Q 11 anas t O ----- w UUD" ed to be tourists who intended per haps to speak, certarhly to stare. He made no reference to them, but said casually to his companion, who was talking in serene absorption and had not noticed: "Lucy, the sun is getting very hot. Hadn't thee bet ter put up thy parasol ?' Miss Larcom obeyed mechanical ly, still talking. "And I think, Lucy, thee'd better come round on my other side," he added. She did so. her voice rin- pling sweetly on. "And if thee'd slant thy parasol the other way, Lucy," he suggested. This, too, she did unheedinnr. but just as the women had passed quite unable to see anvthinar but the top of her comfortably ample green punshade she brought her arcru- toent to a conclusion and, pausing ior a response, Became aware of a whimsical look in the face of her companion; also that the sun shone faintly from behind a cloud, that they were walking in shadow at the eage of the woods and that her par asol was tipped at an ancle which might afford protection from falling acorns, Dut irom nothing else. "Weill" said she, furling it in be wilderment. "What did I put this np for?" "Keally'I don t know, responded the poet demurely. "I thought it strange myself. And there were two ladies who just passed, trying very hard to peep under it too. I think they must have been admirers of thy poems, Lucy." I hen Miss Larcom understood the ruse and replied with a laugh, Companion. Why H. W11 Bold. "I think," she said hesitatingly and with downcast eyes, "that you'd better speak to papa." 'aure, he replied promptly. "That's dead easy. The only thing that troubled me was the interview with you." "You re not afraid of papa? ahe asked, opening her eyes in astonish' ment. "Afraid!" he exclaimed. "Why should I be? "Really, I don't know," she re plied, "but it b usual, you know. "Uh, l suppose so r ne answered in the offhand way of the man of the world.

The familiar toast, "Here's to woman, once our superior, now our equal," is much more than a clever bit of banquet fooling. It was a jest when first spoken. It is taken as fact now. We have seen in re cent years a steady diminution of the deference to woman which in the past century waa a part of ev ery boy's education. Even the bow, once a genuflection of real compli ment, has deteriorated into a fash ionable shrug. The kiss is unmen tionable except as a microbe exhibit, and, as for surrendering comforts from a sense of duty, here is the very latest authority from the very latest book of etiquette: "The old custom of a man giving his seat in a street car to a woman is being gradually done away with. This is due largely to the fact that women are now so extensively engaged in commercial business that they are constant rid ers at busy hours and thus come in to direct competition with the men." And we find this delicious passage in the further elaboration of the rules: "A woman should not look with a pained and injured air at the men passengers because no one of them has offered her a seat" Real ly it comes as ajsalm to the soul to be told that "a man should never cross his legs or keep his feet ex tended in the passageway." Custom rules, and it does little good to sigh for the good old days. Still, we shall cling to the belief that good manners cannot go wholly our of fashion, that deference to women is excellent, not only for the woman. but for the man, and that the gen tleman who is guided by the better promptings of bis nature and the higher teachings of his youth will get more abiding satisfaction out of life than by ignoring woman simply because she dares to try the only way of becoming independent by making her own living. bai.urday Evening Post. Thought Little Frank Fell Down. A young local lawyer tells a story upon a certain prominent, absent minded jurist of Louisville on whom the years do not now sit lightly and who is prone to forget things he should know best. "At a dinner I recently attended,' said the young lawyer, "the older lawyer of whom 1 speak said to the hostess: ' , " 'By the way, Mrs. H., have you seen your little boy, Frank, within the last few hours r - .

J ' ' Here is a typical example of a Chinese funny story: A passenger boat full of people was on the point of pushing off from the shore when a man came running up in hot haste and asked to be taken on board. "There's no room. We can't take you," answered the boatman. But he was not to be put off so easily.' "If you will let me come," he cried, "I will tell you a tale!" The pas sengers began to discuss the situa tion. "We have nothing to do," they said to each other, "and it's very tedipua. If he were to tell us story it would while away the time." Accordingly (regulations as to the number of passengers being by no means strict in the flowery land) the applicant was allowed to .come on board. The passengers . squeezed closer and so managed to make room for him, proving the truth of the German adage, "Many patient sheep go into a small fold." After giving the newcomer a "lit tle breathing time they asked for the promised story. Without hesi tation he began: "Ch'ao Ch'ao once led 830,000 men (infantry and cav alry) to the south of the Yangtse." Ch ao Ch'ao was a famous Chi nese generakwho lived in the timo of the Han dynasty, about the be ginning of the Christian era, and whose deeds of prowess are still re lated with great gusto among his fellow countrymen. "On their way," went on the story teller, "they had to cross a river by a bridge which consisted of a single plank. ., They crossed over one by one." Here the narrator began - to make noises which were supposed to represent the trampling of the steeds, Teh-teh-teh." This went on till his audience grew rather tired of it At last some one said, Jt lease go on with the story." "Yon must wait for them to cross the bridge," was the answer. "When 830,000 men and horses have to cross a one plank bridge it won't do to hurry them. They must be careful or they might fall into the water," and he calmly resumed his "teh-teh-teh." Again his audience pleaded for a continuation of the story, but again he declined to be hurried. "They can't cross the bridge in a short time," he said.' "They must go slowly and carefully." So he went on with his "teh-teh-teh," and, how ever much he was urged, he would say nothing else. So the boat reach ed its destination, and the story was never finished because Ch'ao Ch'ao's army had not yet had time to cross the bridge. Th.

It Is not enough for the dairyman to use only bulls of some of the dairy breeds, or the beef grower to use only bulls of the beef breeds, says a Breed er's Oasette correspondent. The farm er who keeps a few cows is up agaliut a real difficulty when be tries to keep s pure bred bull He must have more than common cows or many of them to Justify the buying snd keep ing of a high priced bull. If he has neighbors who will pay a suitable fee for service be may be able to come out even and have the satisfaction of seeing his and his neighbor's cattle Im proved. - But he most Be s man of more enterprise and ambition than the average If be persists in his good un dertaking. - That combination among small farm ers is the best way to get thruee of pure bred bulls we firmly believe.' It not only makee the burden lighter on esch, but helps to promote a public spirit- In the work of stock Improve ment which if of great value In the community. The Ideal community is approacbed when every farmer in It Is interested and will use a bull of the choeen breed of the neighborhood. When the farmers of. any township or county once agree upon combining on one breed and use only pure bred bulls of res excellence, then we shall bear from them . no longer the wail that there Is no profit in cattle and it does not pay to buy pedigreed bulls. A little more enterprise ts needed along with the desire for better, stock. With these there would be more good bulls used by farmers combining snd purchasing pure bred bulls of decided merit Two or three neighbors can own s good bull at less cost to each thad fur each to own one of inferior quality.' The cost of keeping one pure bred is only one-third as much aa th. keeping of three mongrels, and the pure bred is likely to have better care snd give lees trouble. Combination Is th. solution of and co-operation the key to both ths imaginary snd real troubles with the bull on the small farm. Siso of Cda.

Many are of tho. opinion that It Is Impossible to. keep fowls , In confine ment, but It Is safs to say that three fourths of the high bred poultry are confined in email yards, and many of the high scoring birds at our large shows are picked up in the small back yards by the "copper kings," says I'oultry Standard. There la a growing Interest la the care and keeping of high bred stock, and many of the people from the city are fast commencing to procure sub urban homes and keep a few fancy fowls to change the monotony of city life. The professional man takes great interest In his small flock of pure bred fowls, for be finds It great rest from the laborious care ef bis professional life. The ones that raise fancy poultry on a small lot are a great help In build ing up the fancy, for on account of the limited room only a small number are reserved as breedora, snd quality is rather to be chosen than quantity. Often fowls on a city lot receive bet ter care than those that have unlimit ed range, which quite often are left to shift for tbeuis-lves. and the man having a fow takes pride In making his flock look hi' the best-condition possible snd an ornament to his boms snd a beneficial change from bis regu lar routine of dally labor.; The rich fresh eggs gathered from your own yard where good wholesome grain Is fed are far superior to the cased eggs that have been In storage several months.
