A Smiling Face Pays. ,
There is a minister ' living out on
the East Side who is a great joker.
He loves to tell his jokes at the table,
and, when he does so, the other mem
bers of the family are expected to
laugh. The minister has a son twenty-one
years old, who gets awfully
tired of the jokes. Recently he got
in the habit of scowling when his
father would spring his alleged witti
cisms. The minister noticed this andi
thereafter j it was impossible for the
sen to secure a second helping of anv
bf the food his father served. As a
result the son would sometimes leave
the table hungry. One day the family
had turkey for dinner and the son de.
cfded to get all he wanted of it, even
if he had to laugh at-. his father'9
jokes. 'Soon after he had .eaten his
first allowance his father sprang' a

Feeding Chickens by Alarm, Clock:
A farmer in Oregon, who owns a
small poultry farm, has devised a. nov
el method of feeding his chickens dur
ing his absence. In each yard he has
erected troughs to hold food for the
hens, and these are connected by
wire with an alarm clock in the farm
house. When the owner leaves home
in the morning he sets the alarm
clock at the hour for feeding .the
chickens, and, by an ingenious ar
rangement, when the time arrives the
alarm goes off, the connecting wire
releases the troughs, and the food ia
spread before the hungry fowls.
