Grandfather Harris had harnessed the big brown horses and was ready to start for the mill with a load of Wheat to be ground Into flour when Mary and Constance came running out Into the ynrd. Grandma says we may go!" ex claimed Mary, and Constaueo repeated "Says we niny go," as huc reached grandpa's side. "Well, well! Then you must sit way up here on this high seat," said grand pa, lifting the two little girls to the broad, comfortable seat on the front of the wagon. "I've got on my now straw hat," said eight-year-old Constance as the big horses moved steadily down the stnootb road. "That's right!" said grandpa. "I'll bet It was made of wheat straw, too," he continued, looking admiringly at the pretty hat with Its big blue ribbon bow. Constance and Mary looked at bliu with so much curiosity that grandpa "WB KNOW ALti ABOUT WHEAT." asked, "Didn't you know what straw liats wcro mado of?" "I guess we didn't." replied Mary. "Do you know what wheat Is?" ask ed grandpa. This made both the little girls laugh, for their grandfather had many fields of wheat, and tliey had seen It grow from tender green shoots to tall, wav ing stalks, Will) Its yellow heads full of the linn kernels which grandpa was now taking to the mill. "What Is Iff" asked grandpa. "It's something to make Hour of," said Mary. "That's right," and Grandpa Harris nodded approvingly.

"People used to take the wheat, just ns It Is In those big bags, and put It to soak In water and then let it hard en Into little cakes In the sun," said grandpa, "but that was before we dis covered America." The big horses began to trot along at a good pace, and very soon they were driving down a broad street, wltb stores on each side, which led to the mill. "I'll leave you at the bakeshop a few minutes," said grandpa, and be lifted the little girls dowu from the high sent and asked the pleasant faced wo man behind the counter to look after them until he came back. "See all those cakes!" Mary whis pered to Constance. "And all those big loaves of bread!" Constance whispered back. "That bread Is made of pure wheat flour." said the pleasant faced woman. "Yes'm," said Mary politely. "We know all about wheat. It used to grow wild." "Did it?" said the woman. "Well, well! And what else do you know about it?" "My hat Is made of wheat straw," said Constance. "I declare!" said the woman. "And what else can you tell me?" "It's a grass," said Mary. "Now 1 must tell you a little verse about wheat," said the woman, "and perhaps you can remember It and tell it to your grandfather." "Yes'm," .said both the little girls. "Now listen; I, will say it. slowly,' and their new friend repeated the verse: A firm little kernel that all people eat Is called by the old English word known as whete. The French call It ble, which means It is white, And In tipuln it Is frux (fruit), and each one ts right. When Grandpa Uarrls came driving up after his passengers he was greatly surprised to hear them exclaim, "We know a verse about wheat!" And as soon as they had driven down the Btreet a little way Mary and Con Btnnco repeated the lines. "You have certainly learned what wbcut Is," said grandpa, "and I think the next time we come to mill we must stop and see the bnkeshop wo man again." "Perhaps she will tench us another verse," said Constance. 'Terhnps she will tell us what BUgar is," said Mary, "for most of ber cakes had sugar frosting."-Yonth' Compan ion.

Treat for Theatre Coers "Along the Kennebeo," a New England comedy drama, now in its third successful season, will be pro duced at the the Shively theatre, Fri day, Deo. 2. The play is moulded along the same idea as "The Old Homestead," "Shore Aores" and "York State Folks." and deals en tirely with country life. Plays of this nature are deservedly popular, inasmuch as they are clean and wholesome. They usually illustrate some good moral principle without descending to the oftimea morbid sen sationalism of the melodrama. "Along the Kennebeo" is said to have met with great favor wherever produced. All special scenery is car ried for the production and also a fine band. Btreet parade at noon.

A garden does not necessurily mean a collection of Dowers arranged more or less symmetrically, wltb spaces of lawn, shelter of trees and paths hither and thither. There have been gardens that, beyond a terra cotta Jar or two holding a rosebush or a flowering al mond, have had no green thing within their gates. I know of an oriental garden in Fez where white garmented Moors come In the cool of the evening to sit and listen to ancient stories that they know by heart, or to music that was old when the pyramids were new, or perhaps to look at a dancing girl or two taking soft steps while they smoke their nar glles, yet that gnrden is nothing more than a scries of arches upholding walls beyond walls, toned a faint, mysterious yellow that Is not yellow, but white, and yet not white, but rose. In the middle Is a pool of water in a stone basin that looks blue because of the in tense sky overhead and that shim mers with gold In reflections from thn walls. In the corner stands a mighty Jar full of strange scarlet blossom, and rugs of deep color and Intricate pattern He on the sun warmed flagJ. There Is always the fairy music of dropping water, and wonderful shad ows move among the arches. This place is a gnrden for all that it Is so bulldcd of man. The word court will not do for It. Century Magazine. FIGHTING FATIGUE. Jacking Up the Tired System Without Using Stimulants. If efforts to keep at work are con tinued in spite of fatigue the quality of the work is poor and the exhaustion inordinate. Students constantly make this error and do all sorts of things to keep awake to burn the midnight oil when' if they would go to bed and rest they could accomplish far more in half the time In the morning with little or no fatigue. Yet there are times when sleepiness and fatigue must be overcome without resort to stimulants which Injure the Judgment. The tired physician with a critical case, for Instance, must have his wits about him, and It will aid him vnstly to go to an open window every fifteen or thirty minutes to take a dozen or two deep inspirations of cold air. Ills exhaustion In the end will be great, but he can make it up later. As a matter of fact, surgeons and others whose work requires the keen est perceptions instinctively choose the early morning for their best efforts, reserving the afternoon for "low pressure" tasks or recreation. That is, it is far better to so live that we do not need the stimulus of those extraor dinary methods of respiration. Amer ican Medicine. A Dime Better Then Two Niekele. A professional panhandler approach ed a man crosslug City Hall park and demanded a nickel, which the man good uaturcdly handed out, saying, "1 suppose that goes for a glass of beer." "Surest thing you know," replied the panhandler unblushlngly. "And, by the way, while w-e are on the subject, I have uow iu my possession two nick els. Would you mind giving me a ten cent piece for them?" "I will on one condition," said the man, whose curiosity was aroused. "What's the answer?" "Well, you see, it's this way," ex plained the panhandler. "If 1 have a dime 1 go Into a saloon nud ask for beor. 1 have a nickel comeback, which enables me to amhle over to the free lunch counter nud Oil up. Maybe you don't realize that getting change over the bar gives a man a certain tone that doesn't belong to him If he Just coughs up a nickel." New York Sun. If all of tho railroads of the coun try have ns large "car repair" bills ns are being brought to light In the pres ent Illinois Central craft lunuirv and these have been systematically charged up to "operating expenses," It Is not surprising perhaps that the farmers and other originators of freight are asked for an Increase in transportation charges.

It is said that a thousand colonies of bees are called Into service auuuully in the cucumber greenhouses of Mas sachusetts to carry the fertilizing pol len from blossom to blossom. A soil supplied with humus is not only richer and better suited to pro ducing plant growth than one that is not, but holds the moisture which it receives far better and does not pack or bake. In latitudes where the snowfall Is not usually heavy and the winter weather severe it will he better for the lawn grass if the leaves are allowed to lie during the winter as they fall from the trees. There is no particular connection be tween the manure spreader and the telephone, yet both have had a whole lot to do with making farm work more endurable and life on the farm more cheery and enjoyable. Blackleg is a disease which usually affects calves and young stock only. It Is incurable by any treatment known at present, but may be prevent ed by vaccination, a Job that should be performed by a competent veterina rian. There Is little excuse that can be made for the type of shiftlessness and poor management so often noticed In the use of a good part of the worth of the winter fire drying out green .ood that ought to have been cured and seasoned in the summer sun. When alkalis are present in the soil of semlnrld secUons In quantities which will cause trouble when water Is applied on the land the fact is often Indicated by the presence of the grease wood, while the presence of the creo sote bush is usually accepted as evi dence that alkali is not present in harmful quantities. Now that the leaves will soon be off the apple and other fruit trees it is a good Idea to make a tour of Inspection for the purpose of bolting up any splits lil the trunks or big limbs as well as painting over scars left by heavy pruning in order to prevent checking and decay of the exposed wood. An observing chap down in Rhode Island we think It is claims to have noUced that a hen housed near some pigeons gradually laid smaller and smaller eggs until they were but little larger than those of the pigeons. He thinks It is a case of Imitation and a bad environment and has decided to confine her near the geese to see if he can get her to reverse the process. The chief defect with this socialis tic Idea that all property ought to be divided equally is that If it were thus distributed tonight by tomorrow night there would be a large number of wit less, Improvident, shiftless chops who had squandered all they had and would be asking for another distribu tion or hanging around at their neigh bors' back doors, asking for a hand out. To an exceptional degree hog raisers of the country have sustained fewer losses from hog cholera or plague the past year than for a long time past. The situation Is doubtless due to the high prices of corn, moderate feeling of immature corn last fall, but 'per haps more than all to greater care in the matter of providing sanitary quar ters and giving intelligent enre, while the prompt Inoculation of affected herds with the new hog serum has quite likely headed off epidemics In many localities. That the Plymouth Itock breed still ranks as the most popular fowl In the United States is shown iu the report of the secretary of the American Poul try association for the year 1909, which states that In the poultry shows of that year there were 12,000 entries of Plymouth Rocks, 10,000 Wyandottes nnd 8,000 Leghorns, with Rhode Is land Reds and Orpingtons ranking next In order. It is likely that these exhibit entries are fairly representa tive of the total number of these sev eral varieties kept in the country. The health of the home during the winter months does not depend half so much on having a competent physi cian engaged as it does In making tho house sweet and clean from cellar to f:arret particularly cellar and letting n Just as much of the health giving outside sunshine and fresh air as pos sible. They are the -orst competitors the medical fraternity have yet, and mighty few folks are awako to the fact There should be abundance of fresh air in all the sleeping rooms at night and a thorough airing out of the living rooms at least once a day.

Yet, notwithstanding this, too many dairymen and stock raisers are woefully slow In catching on and giv ing the truth practicable and profitable demonstration. Too many still plod on In the old rut, using any old scrub of the proper gender and having four feet, picked up at a country auction or selected from a bunch of canners at the stockyards. The trouble with men of this type is that they are short sightedly stingy. They lose dollars in returns where they save pennies In in itial investments, and they don't seem to be possessed of sufficient horse sense to appreciate the folly i of their course.

The under ground hublts of the rodent nre so familiar ns hardly to need description. The methods of destruction nre chiefly by means of traps nnd poison. The ordinary steel traps give good results by placing iu the main tunnel. Sev eral types of special gopher traps are preferable because they kill the ani mal at once. Of poisons which have been used strychnia sulphate is the most effective nnd is mnde as follows: Dissolve nu ounce of the poison In a quart of boiling water nnd add a quart of thick sugar sirup, mixing thoroughly. This amount Is enough to poison thirty-five pounds of barley or wheat or thirty pounds of green al falfa. If the hitter Is used more wa ter is added. When the halt has been prepared It can be inserted Into tho gopher tunnels through holes mado with a spndo handle shod with n met al point and having a metal bar for the foot about fifteen inches from the point.
