DXGEIt OF OAK LEAVES
POISONING STOCK IN SPRING
Oak leaves, if eaten continuously
by cattle, produce a sickness which
frequently proves fatal, investiga
tions conducted by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri
culture show. Most oak-leaf pois
oning, the specialists say, occurs in
thf spring, for at that time there is
a scarcity of green forage on many
ranges and the craving which stock
have for green food leads them to
eat the leaves in excessive amounts.
In order to cause sickness, however,
oak leaves must be eaten almost ex
clusively. If eaten with other feed,
the animals are not injured. It has
been found experimentally that as
f-mall a quantity as 3 pounds daily of
alfalfa hay fed in connection with
oak leaves prevented poisoning.

some cattle may eat oak leaves for a
long time with no definite bad ef
fects, and some will even eat them
exclusively with no harm. Generally
speaking, those that are injured

Buy Coal Row-Do Not
Delay.
Simply to insure to consumers a supply of coal
for the winter are we urging them to buy early
whether they buyfrom us or not. Lower prices
are not probable this season. Higher prices may
and we believe will come later. We base our be
lief on high freight rates, high cost of produc
tion and general railroad conditions that there
will be a shortage of coal and higher prices as
the season advances as was the case last year.
Consider well the placing of your order now
while coal is available at reasonable prices.

"Is the Place,"
COLLEGE STREET, : ; : ; i j ; OXFORD, ft, O.
(By Edna Boutwell)
The old-fashioned clock chimea 6.
As if it were a signal, the Winsome
Lady' opened the door and peered
down the dusky hall, her eyes fill
ed with welcome for the figure hasti
ly approaching.
"Oh, I'm so glad you came," whis
pered the Winsome Lady, drawing
the tiny figure within the room and
closing the door.
"Are you dearie?" laughed the
little lady softly.
"Surely, and oh. Littlest Mother,
I'm going home, and I'm glad
glad. Why, you're crying!"
Quick as a flash she was down on
her knees before the weeping lady,
and had laid her head in the wee
lap.
The frail hands caressingly strok
ed the brown hair. For a moment
there were silence, then the Littlest
Mother spoke:
"You are a dear girl, Ruth, and I
love you- I'm sorry you're going.
But it's better, as you weren't made
for settlement work. Are you going
to marry the Doctor Man?"
The girl raised iher head quickly.
"Marry him?" she scoffed, "I'd soon
er die!"
"Speak gently, girlie," chided the
Littlest Mother.
With a toss of her head the girl
arose and stood looking down to the
street, which was filled with a mot
ley, hurrying crowd. All at once
she raised her eyes and gazed far
into the distance, to where a thin
spiral of smoke pure, white, won
derful was rising straight toward
heaven.
"Oh, how I wish I were like that,"
breathed the irl. wiping away a
tear.

to become like that," said a calm
voice.
"You say things so beautifully.
But talk to me," begged the Win
some lady, as she resumed her form
er position.
"I think you need a love story. It
sometimes proves a cure for a cer
tain sickness. I'll tell you my own
love story."
"Yours!" smiled the girl, her
brown eyes filled with a tender
light.
"It was long ago," began the Lit
tlest Mother, bending her white
head, "when I was a girl. I lived
in Ireland, by the sea. I loved and
was loved by Thomas Wynne, une
lovely moonlight night as we strolled
hand in hand up the side of a wood
land hill. I told Tammas that I was
sure there were fairies about"
" 'Fairies little men,' " mocked
he, " 'there are no such things!' "
"We heard a peal of shrill laugh
ter, but could see no one. Then
Tammas turned boyishly to me and
said: 'Wait for me, Ellen, wait for
me!' With this he was gone- I
waited for a long time and then, be
ing childishly afraid, I went after
v.!- " Wprp thfi speaker's voice
broke, but she continued gravely as
if grown weary with the telling: At
the top of the hill l louna Tammas
dead. Dead, with a smile on his
face, and in his hands a tiny silver
button! The fairies had punished
him and left their sign."
The girl's eyes were luminous with
unshed tears- "But you don't be
lieve that do you?" queried the
girl as they both arose.
"Of course! Every one believed
it! But it's children I've always
wanted. At night I dream of them,
with their little hands that they
hold out to me. I went to night
school for long years to be a teach
er; but I came here, out of pity, i
think. Today is my borthday. ana
I've saved enough to buy a ticket to
Ireland. I don't feel like cleaning
in fact I don't feel very well' she
hesitated as the door opened and re
vealed the handsome debonair doc-
"I heard the story," he announced,
flushing, "and, Ruth, forgive me!
I'm not in the service, because. I be
long to the secret service-
"Oh, mv dear," and the girl kiss
ed him- "Why didn't you tell me?
I thought you were a slacker!
And the Littlest Mother, being
worldly wise, slipped quietly out,
into the crowded street.
Suddenly she heard her name call
ed. She turned and confronted a
Hp- Trish ool iceman known as Tim
Reilly. By .the arm he held a girl
with painted lips and wide frighten
ed evq.
In his rich brogue he narrated to
the tinv lady how the "slick un," as
the girl was famed, had been eaught
stealing again-.
"An' it's me as will give 'er her
doos," he grinned.
"Let me whisper in your ear.
Tim," commanded the Littlest Moth
er, as if she did not mind the curi
ous throng.
"Sure an' I will," shouted Tim,
straightening up; "ye air a saint
lake her it ye can hnd good m tne
loikes of her."
The wee lady's eyes twinkled like
stars as she drew the girl into a
doorway, while Tim dispersed the
crowd.
"Take this," she said, giving the
girl a roll of bills, "and try to be a
better girl.
The girl looked shrewdly after the
disappearing figure. "God what a
fool!" she sneered, and fled.
The Littlest Mother reached her
cheerless room at last, and sank
wearily down in a chair facing the
distant sunset.
Below the window stood a wand
erer, his violin tucked lovingly be
neath his chin. Seeing the weary
figure, he started to play a haunting
melody.
Txhe,rweary look fled. and the Lit
tlest Mother, chancing to raise her
eyes, gave a cry of rapture- For
there, hung on the faded wall, was a
picture of the Madonna andChild
