Use Two Hooks Instead of

Never fasten picture wire to a pic
ture so that, beginning nt either sldo
of tho picture In the back, It comes
up to tho hook on tlio molding in such
a way that a triangle is formed. While
not exactly a part of picture framing,
the fastening of tho wlro or cord is
most essential, for even the most beau
tifully framed picture should be so
hung that tho actual mechnnlsm of
hanging is ns inconspicuous as pos
sible. Therefore use two wires, fast
ening them so that they tire parallel
with tho skies of the frame, and use
two hooks nt tho molding Instead of
one. If you can use cord or wire
which blends In with the wall Itself
so much the better.

"Come, girls," railed Mrs. Woven
from the next room ; "we. shull be lute
for tlio train."
"In a minute!" "May ha to put In
another hairpin !" answered two Joy
ous young voice. Tho girl then hur
ried In to Join their wiililng chaperon.
A taxi was walling at the entrance
to the hotel, Into which they plied and
wero furiously driven to the station
where they were to take the train.
They had finished n three-days sl(ht
nwug visit In the national capital,
nnd were on their way to Annapolis
to attend the January hop at the Na
val aendejiiy.
May Wither, who was engaged to
Midshipman Hoy liloomer, bad per
Huaded Jean Steven and her mother
to fo with her. Jloth glii were at
tending college, and this was holiday
time. Mny Intended finishing her col
lege coure the following June, nnd
Itoy would graduate the same month.
Xhen they were to be married.
"You'll like Itoy's chum. Philip Car
son, Jean. Itoy nys he's a shark for
study like yourself bone lip on llt
rrsttiro nd writes verse. You two
ought to get on splendidly. I'll let him
know that you're the high-brow (,f our
cIhm,"
"I wanted to meet him because he
I Roy' friend, but now 1 want to
meet him for himself." siild Jenn.
"I don't we how be and Itoy became
roommates, because old Jtoy never
rends book unless he bus to. We're
Alike, there,"
When they arrived at the station In
Ammpolls, Mrs. Steven called n rick
ety old carriage that bad two listless
horse and n fat dinky driver. They
ambled n!oiij Maryland avenue until
Ibey mine to their hotel, largo white
bulidlng In the center of the town.
For dinner they had some of the fa
mous Maryland soft-shelled crab, and
then went Into the parlor to wait for
the "boys."
Presently May was Introducing Itoy
Rloonier and his friend, Philip Carson.
This was the ladles' first visit to An
napolis. They noon exhausted all the snail
iulk, and wise Mrs. Stevens suggested
a walk. She would write letters while
awaiting them. Sho was repaid for
her thoughtfulnes with the Joy she
law In the faces of the lover.
Later when they all came In Itoy
and Slay were blissfully happy. No
one could mistake the fact that they
were genuinely In love. Philip looked
eolltely bored, while Jean seemed be
wildered and wretched.
"Oh, Jenn, I made a mistake about
Phil being n student of literature. He'g
an athlete and never reads. I have
confused hi name with that of anoth
er fellow Hoy wrote me about."
"Well." exclaimed Jean, "that's why
we didn't hit It off. I bronched every
aubject I tbotiKht he would like not
that I cared myself, for I would rather
have talked about this quaint old
(own. "What must ho think of me?"
"What did you say to him?"
"I started out on the technic of the
short story of today In comparison
with the long-drawn-out stories of
Ulchnrdson, the father of the Knglisli
novel."
"Heavens!" exclaimed May, while
.Mrs. Stevens repressed a smile. "He
didn't knov what you were talking
about. I'm sorry for my sake, Jenn.
What else did you sny?"
"When he. didn't respond, I thought:
'He doesn't care to be serious tonight,'
o I told him a Joke, and he didn't
even smile,"
"What Joke did you tell him?"
"That extremely funny one about
the New York publisher, who, on bis
first visit to England, asked Herbert
Spencer to give Mm the s!e right to
the 'Faerie Qiieene. "
"How could be laugh nt that?
There's nothing funny about It, Is
there?"
"Perhaps not," Jenn answered wear
ily. "Never mind, dear," said her moth
er; "It often happens that two admir
able persons cannot be congenial. Re
member, there Is the dance tomorrow
night." '
"Phil Carson has missed a lot!" ex
claimed Mny, "because you're the dear
est and sweetest thing that ever lived.
Present company not excepted."
Next evening the two midshipmen
were nt the door of the gymnasium,
where the balls are held, when the
girls arrived with Mrs. Stevens. Their
programs had been filled by their es
corts before, as was the custom.
Roy sold : "Phil nnd I are sorry
about Wily Westermnn. We wanted
you to know hire, but he's so popular
that nil his dnnoes were taken before
we knew you were coming."
"Who is he?" asked May.
"He's tho fellow I wrote you about
the shark of the class writes
verse."
"He's the one I meant," May whis
pered to Jean.
Jean and her gallant, having start
ed badly, could not get adjusted ; espe
cially after Jean, to show her Interest
In the best baseball pitcher in the
academy, asked:
"Why do some of tho players wear
gray stilts and the rest blue?"
The look on his faco decided her
that no subject .was safe, so she be
came Icily polite; he caught the In
fection, and so the evening passed.
Many times Roy tried to corral Billy,
but did not succeed. However, as
I'hll had seen thnt Jean's program win
full, sho enjoyed all tho dance ex
cept the Hlx with him.
At Inst the beautiful hall was over
and Mr. Ktevens gathered her charges
Into the carriage.
"There Is one thing I regret, Jean,'
said May, when they were again In
Mr. Stevens' room; "I wish you bad
met l'.llly Instead of Phil although
Phil I In love!"
"Never mind, dears," said Mrs. Stev
ens, "we nil had a delightful time. He
member, we take the early train."
Next morning the same old rickety
carriage was waiting to take thern to
the station. May wa Inle, as usual,
nnd Mrs. Steven was hurrying them
along. Much carried a heavy suitcase.
The darky plied the hags on the seat
beside him. They climbed In. When
he dosed the door the glass broke In a
thousand pieces. He only grinned.
"Hurry!" exclaimed Mr. Stevens
"We must, get our train."
There hnd been sleet the night be
fore and the street was very slippery.
The crazy vehicle slid from side to
side, while Its oempant were con
vulsed with laiig?itej. They enjoyed
the primitive wny of living. Then
hnng went something, nnd the girl,
with showers of broken glass, were
precipitated on poor Mr. Stevens.
When they could separate them
selves they saw the horse running
down the street, with the darky pull
ing on the reins. The three suitcases
were sliding after them.. The tongue
of the carriage had gone with the
horse.
The bo'-k of the fall had Jammed
the lock tight and they were unable
to open the door. They could hear the
whistle of the train. They must take
it.
May called to a man In uniform who
was hurrying down the street. He
looked at them and laughed. Then
went to their assistance.
Jean recognized him a l'.llly West
ermnn of the nlcht before. Mrs. Stev
ens explained their predicament. The
young man could not unfasten the
lock so he kicked it In with his foot.
Each woman grabbed a bag and ran
for the train, the young knight help
ing first one nnd then another, but
helping Jean the most. He asked her:
"Didn't I see you at the bop last
nlnht?"
Gaspingly, she answered: "Yes, I
saw you, too."
P,y this time they were a half-block
from the station and could see the
conductor with his hand on the bell
rope, ready to pull it.
P.illy gave a shrill whistle. The man
hesitated and saw the frantic and ex
hausted women running, their faces
contorted with merriment. Even Billy
was panting.
"Thanks," they mumbled to the con
ductor. The women climbed on and stood
Immovable on the platform while the
porter threw the bags on their feet.
Billy Jumped after them.
Frantic shouts arrested their atten
tion. They saw their driver running
after the train.
"Pay yon tomorrow," shrieked Billy.
The darky's face broke Into a satis
fied grin.
"I must extricate you again." Billy
removed the luggage from six tired
feet nnd found seats for their owners.
"Permit me to Introduce myself," he
smiled, nnd handed his card to Mrs.
Stevens. She read. "Midshipman Wil
liam Westermnn, Naval Academy, An
napolis, Maryland."
Mrs. Stevens presented him to May
and Jenn.
"Oh." said May. "then you know
Roy Bloomer. I have heard all about
you."
They lnnghed and chatted on the
way to Washington. Billy learned
that they were all going ngain for the
hop in February.
"May I claim my dances now?" he
asked. "I won't trespass too much on
Roy's preserves," said he, ns he took
three dances from May ; the same
from Mrs. Stevens, and while the others
were looking nt the scenery he claimed
eight from Jenn.
Roman Agricultural Notes.
Clncinnatus quitted his plow nt the
summons of a Romnn senate to lead
the armies of the republic to battle.
Cttto labored daily on his farm.
Regulus asked permission of the
Romnn senate for leave of absence
that lie might put his little farm in
order.
Virgil had charge of his father's
farm.
Pliny, the Roman author, says :
"Four hundred stalks of wheat, all
grown from one seed, were sent to the
Emperor Augustus, and at another
time 340 from one seed were sent to
the Emperor Nero from Byzantium in
Africa."
Columella, a Roman writer on agri
cultural topics, prescribes this curious
treatment for working oxen: "After
oxen get through plowing nnd come
home heated nnd tired, they must have
a little wine poured down their
throats, and after being fed n little
led out to drink; and if they will not
drink, the boy must whistle to make
them."
Denmark's Flag.
The flag of Denmark, a plain red
banner, bearing on it a white cross, is
the oldest flag now in existence. For
more than 500 years both Norway and
Sweden were united with Denmark
under this flag. In the year 1212 King
Waldemar of Denmark, when leading
his troops to battle against the Llvonl
ans, saw, or thought he saw, a bright
light in the form of a cross ia the sky.
He held this appearance to be a prom
ise of divine aid, and pressed forward
to victory. From this time he had the
cross placed on the flag of his country
and called it the Dannebrog that is,
the strength of Denmark. Indianapo

Farmers in Yaqui Valley
Live in Forts and Always
Prepared to Fight Indians
Some day It may occur to somebody
to write a book with the title "Sur
prises of Mexico," for It becomes more
and more evident that the land Is full
of odd places and people. Not far over
the border, for example, He a region
where life is still lived by white set
tlers under pioneer conditions, and,
nsj aays a recent traveler, the "pioneer
farmers In the Yaqul valley have to
live In forts and carry guns for pro
tection against the Indians." Here are
still wild American aborigines, a horde
of about 20,000 of them, classified as
the Tarahumare Indians, who live In
caves, worship woodpeckers, and ore
for the most part doubtless as Igno
rant of the United States ns if Colum
bus hnd not sailed from Europe .The
land Itself Is unquestionably an asset
to the future of Mexico, once the pres
ent troubles of the nation are over,
but, except for the pioneer farmers
and the growth of a few mining towns,
the "land of Nayarit" remains much
as it must have been when Cortes was
conquering another part of the coun
try. In its promise of agricultural
produce and mineral wealth it is said
to be one of the richest regions In the
world, but so far "Its only roads are
the winding cow-trails made by cattle
on their way to water holes. Not a
single railway crosses it from east to
west; and one line only splits it from
Nogales- to Mazatlan. Vast areas of
the Interior are practically uninhab
ited except for lonely huts here and
there In canons or near water holes."
And the United States is only a day's
ride away across the Texas border.
Adornment of Rooms in
Home Requires Careful
Study of Color Scheme
Rooms have to be studied, like peo
Dle. for their adornment. Their height,
their width and their relation to the
sun must be considered. They also
have to be treated in relation to those
who live in them.
People are playing with colors now.
Some tints, like amber and yellow, are
very difficult. You have to lead up to
them, and very often before the
scheme is complete the designer
throws It up in despair.
Brown Is the most difficult of alL
Of every hundred people who think
they want brown, and come to the
great furnishing houses with their col
or palettes full of every tone, ninety
Ave resign themselves to another color.
Greens are the easiest colors to live
with, and Joyous Jade greens, some
shot with blue, others with yellow, are
now to be found In the most dignified
rooms. Greens rest tired eyes in a way
that captious blues can never do.
Those who cannot change their fur
nishings often favor this kindly color.
Stripes and plain-colored hangings
give size and height to a room. Motley
cretonnes or silks draw a room In and
make it smaller. So It is best to go
warily when dealing with the brilliant
furnishings of today.

Fowl lice and mites reduce egg pro
duction, binder the growth and reduce
the quality of flesh of all classes of
poultry. Mites nre particularly bad
among farm fowl, as these blood-suck
ing insects often gain a firm foothold
in the flock before the farmer Is aware
of their presence. The hens become
irritable and decline in egg production
and healthy condition as a result of
losing blood to the mites. In heavily
infested coops it is not unusual for
the chickens to become droopy and
weak, with pale combs and wattles.
The mites' feed almost entirely at
night, except that they attack hens on
the nests during the daytime. They
secrete themselves in cracks and
crevices around the chicken house dur
ing the day, and hence their presence
often is overlooked until a heavy infes
tation has developed.
Rout Mites From Roosts.
In controlling mites it Is first of all
essential to drive the pests from the
roosts, nests and interior of the poul
try house, which should be sprayed
with a mixture of one part kerosene
to four parts of crude petroleum. Or
dinarily one application Is sufficient,
but as an extra precaution it Is advis
able to spray a second time about one
month after the first treatment. Poul
try should be kept out of the treated
buildings until the material has well
dried Into the wood.
Arsenical dip, as a spray, such as Is
used to destroy cattle ticks, is also
fairly satisfactory as a control for
chicken mites; several applications
are required to eradicate the mites
from the poultry roosts. The mites
which cause scaly leg usually can be
eradicated by applying crude petro
leum to the legs with a brush or dip
ping them into this oil. One treat
ment is usually enough.
Lice Like to Live on Poultry.
If poultry escape infestations of
mites they are still exposed to visita
