One afternoon he was casting a fly

Give the Boys Poultry.
As usual, there Is loud complaint
from farmers that the children brought
up on the farm are getting uneasy and
want to try their wings elsewhere.
This is not to be wondered at when
these young people hear and read of
what is going on In the world. The
monotony of country life teems unbear
able to them, especially when from the
farm they obtain only plenty of bard
work, the food they eat and the
clothes tbey wear. True, one may say
that is about all any one gets out of
Ufa, but If we can plan some way
by whlcb the young people can make
a start for themselves they will be
much more contented.
Foultry offers a way of trying out
the feeling of the young folks at small
expense. Olve them a chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and In a year .or two they
will have become reconciled to coun
try life and be willing to make It
their future or they will have shown
their utter lack of adaptability for It
In which case the best thing for them
and for the parent Is to let them leave
the farm and take up the work for
which they are better fitted, but don't
loae your grasp on the young people
without first giving them a chance
to do for themselves on the farm and
show what is in them. Indianapolis

U8E8 FOB OtD PAPER.
Some Ie Made Over-Utilized by the
Different Trades.
"New nses for old paper are being
found almost dally by the different
trades and by people who have a little
ingenious torn of mind," said a. local
Junk dealer In the Washington Star.
"You don't see much waste paper
thrown away nowadaya and when yon
consider the great amount that la dal
ly accumulating it teems remarkable.
The newspapers are reeling off tons
of paper every day. All this great
quantity of paper must be destroyed
or used. There are eager scavengers
of the city after every stray paper and
bundle of wrapping paper. If it were
not to the street-cleaning department
would have to organize a special corps
of men Just to collect newspapers and
burn them.
"Most of the newspapers are gath
ered up and converted Into marketable
paper again and some go in with the
the rags to make various kinds of
commercial material; but outside of
these two lines of industry the paper
is made Into different useful articles
of a wonderful nature. The newspa
pers are made of the spruce pulp, and
by a steaming process tbey can be re
converted into a smaller pulp again.
This pulp Is not to good as In the first
Instance and no one has yet found a
way to make It possible to use It over
again for newspaper work. Bowever,
it it chewed and steamed tip and it
used for many other purposes. Wood
pulp neveltles, lead pencil holders, pa
per weights and ash receivers are
manufactured from this waste paper.
Of course, there art experienced
workers In waste paper and some of
them are working on problems which
appear very easy of solution, but
which in reality art most difficult For
instance, what teems easier than to
use the paper over again for printing?
Why not boll and steam your waste
paper and roll It through machinery
Into new theete for the daily presses?
Nothing appears at first sight easier,
but there is nothing that seems to give
back to the paper the life which the
process of printing takes from It It
It dead paper. It lacks vitality,
strength, finish, and it is mixed with
inks and chemicals If any man can
rejuvenate the paper and make it fit
for the presaea over and over again
he will make a fortune and revolution
ize the printing business. What a
boon tt would be to the newspaper to
run Its waste paper back again and
buy in old copies of the early editions
for use in the Sunday edition! Yet I
firmly believe that some day we will
come to that Then the price of news
paper will go down. No paper com
pany can control tha market of spruce
trees then to force tip the price of
cheap-grade paper. It will be a benefit
to the publishers and the reading pub
lic as well. To-day papers are print
ed and sold at a penny a copy almply
because papermaklng hot cheapened
the process to such a wonderful ex
tent but we have not yet reached the
limits. There ara more Improvements
ahead which the present generation
has far from anticipated."
EVANGELIST WHIPPED BULLY.
Then Bad Him on the Front Bench at
the Heating- that Night.
A Methodist minister of this city
tells the following story about the lata
Bam Rozel, the great Virginia evange
list, who in his day was one of tha
best-known pulpit orators in the South:
"Sam Rozel waa a very big man
and had a wide reputation for physi
cal strength. In his college days he
came off the field of oombat, usually
a circumscribed and secluded area of
the campua, wearing the laurel of vic
tory on many occasions, and after he
became a preacher stories of bis physi
cal prowess were spread far and near.
"One day he went to a village to
hold a protracted meeting. The vil
lage blacksmith, who waa a very big
man, and who was recognised, espe
cially among the tavern habitues, as a
pugilistic wonder, beard about the com
ing of Rosel, and the villagers did
not fall to tell him all they had heard
abont the size of the parson's arm and
the length of his legs, and the con
vincing way he had of closing-his ar
guments with his fists.
"All this nettled the smith consid
erably, so when Rozel reached the
town he sought him out and aaked him
to fight.
"Rozel, of course, said he did not
want to fight; but the smith kept on
Insisting, and finally Rozel became an
gry and agreed to gratify the fellow.
They fought Rozel literally wip
ed up tha ground with the big man.
When he had pounded him until the
poor, vanquished bully was gasping
bard, Rozel picked him up and threw
him over a fence.
"The blacksmith had not said a word
since affray began up to this point As
he rolled over on the other side of the
fence, however, he called out:
" 'Say, parson, kindly throw my
horse over, .too; I'm going away.'
"But Rozel followed tha man to his
home, and had him sitting on a front
bench at the meeting that same night,
singing louder than anyone else."

"The perfumery buslneas never was
better," aald the perfume dealer the
other day. "I sell more perfume than
I ever did before, and I think my
beavy sales are due in a large part to
the automobile craze.
"You know the odor emanating from
those gasoline autos are not pleasant.
Lovely woman doea her best to over
come It by using lots of perfume. Just

"Women may be going in for ath
letics more than ever, but they are
going in for perfumes, too, and the
most expensive kind.
"It would surprise you, though, to
know how many men bar the per
fumery habit aa well. I think the
