Miss Olmstead won over a large field of competitors seeking the prize in the beauty contest. Meester Bulluson, the man who owns the post office, said he meant to be a hunch letter. And the boss he got to tell Meester Bulluson some letter before can that work at night. Last week he hired a little girl work for them who called stenographer. She was pretty good for looking, too. But I think the boss he talked with that cheeky too much for getting fresh. Now I don't know if the boss ever came again or what's matter. He said he would rather have a job than to speak a little. He said he could speak a little better than to say a little. But I gotta suspish some something wrong. Reside that. Letters were trouble, the boss. Maybe he got some more fight, the wife, I don't know. I don't want but he's been a boss or told something he's like, but I believe in his being a little better than he's been in his place, he's lost his head or something. Before that, Miss Stenog came work for the boss, I never saw him pay at the next week's work. But since she has been working our place, the boss has lost his head or something. Everyday she goes on a private office and does boss he talks with her. One day I saw that place and the boss was talking with devil to Miss Stenog, but she no cared very much. She only set down, making something of the pencil and listened with what she did. The boss he does all the talking and she doesn't say something. Just between you and me and no more spreads around, I think of the boss are Miss Stenog or quite talk with her so much he gets the letter we were, I don't know. What you think of me, I know. A LINE OF CHEER By John Kendrick Bangs. IN RESERVE. When I'm alone I do not mean, And groan about my loneliness. But turn to see What memory Can do to ease away my strain. I live once more The days of yore. And soon the friends that used to be With laughter clear. And wealth of cheer, Come flocking back to comfort me. (Copyright.) Youths Given Business Training. Pittsburgh is taking the lead in training boys and girls as sureties clerks by giving special instruction courses in the junior and senior high-school course, same time the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is cooperating with the large department stores of Pittsburgh. Is training men and teachers in both schools and schools. At the women's meeting, the Boy Scouts of America, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Boy Scouts of America, are celebrating the event on February 8. The date is the date of the Boy Scouts of America's celebration, and it is an established custom for all scouts to celebrate the event annually. The custom has assumed the form of a huge birthday party for the whole organization, starting with or at least in the following months. This is the eleventh birthday year of the scouts. The idea behind the celebration is to bring more definitely to the attention of each community the value of scouting as a program for work with boys for the development of character and training for citizenship. At the hour of 8:15 on February 8, every registered boy scout, no matter where he may be, is supposed to stand at salute and commit himself anew to the scout oath and law. In most cases, the scouts gather for this ceremony in their troop meeting places. The emphasis of this celebration is such as will impress the solidarity of the movement upon the entire membership, as well as foster the feeling of the individual responsibility of each scout to the organization as a whole. Heretofore, the scouts have stood at salute when their watches announced 8:15, which, on account of the difference in time between East and West, did not make the act simultaneous. This year, the effort was made to have the salute at exactly the same moment everywhere, corresponding to 8:15 eastern time, the time of the clock in the national headquarters. FORMER SCOUTS IN COLLEGE An interesting development in scouting relationship with the universities has been seen in the work of the University (N.Y.) council. Boy Scouts of America, in connection with Cornell university. A meeting of the students attending Cornell university who have been scouts was held. The local council brought before these students their desire to be of assistance to them and serve them in every way possible while they are at college, and to bring before them their opportunity to help scouting nationally. Several of the young men who have been scouts are helping with the local work. One of them who came to the meeting was Chou-son-King, who has been an assistant scoutmaster in Shanghai, China. At Syracuse university, a similar movement is on foot in the way of getting together students who have been scouts. Recently at Oxford university in England, National Educational Director Lome W. Barclay investigated the University Scout club there and found it very helpful activity. This suggestion may be of real service in college towns, not only to the students but to the boys. Of that community. SECOND CLASS SCOUT HERO. One of the recent recipients of the gold honor medal awarded by the national court of honor of the Boy Scouts of America is Joseph H. Mardis of East Liverpool, O. While still a second-class scout, Mantis, when on a camp trip, went to a midnight fire with his scoutmaster, W. B. Williamson. The tension wire carrying 2,200 volts of electricity burned and as it fell struck the scoutmaster across the chest. Fully realizing his own danger, Scout Mardis made every effort to save his companion, by trying to pull him away from the wire. Having succeeded in doing this, badly burned as he was himself and suffering intense pain, he worked over the unconscious and dying scoutmaster, rendering first aid until he himself faluted. As the two passed along a high NATIONWIDE SCOUT GOOD TURN. "If there is any one time more than another when the good turn in scouting should be emphasized and lived up to with double spirit, it is upon the occasion of our anniversary celebration," said Chief Scout Executive James E. West in announcing plans for the celebration of the Boy Scouts' organization's eleventh birthday. "I want every boy scout and scout troop from coast to coast to do more turns, better turns than ever before. Make the good turn idea so infectious that all America will be 'doing it' in the same spirit which the scouts carry it out daily." SCOUTS GUARD UNIQUE TREE. The only specimen of a trailing Juniper tree left in Pennsylvania has been placed under the care of the boy scouts of Killzulietown. It is on a farm near that town, is a little less than two and a half feet high, yet has a spread of 45 feet, and covers over 2,000 square feet. Prof. J. S. Illick, chief of the research bureau of the department of forestry, who recently saw the tree, estimates that it is at least 165 years old.

OUGHT into prominence of late years because of the large number of hotels and restaurants which have advertised "dancing cabarets" or "Jazz cabarets" or have used the tenor as indicative of a place where one can secure food and amusement at the same time, "cabaret" has come to be regarded as a new addition to the English language—a word which, from its form and pronunciation, is evidently French. As a matter of fact, the term was originally of Gallic origin, but it is by no means modern, having been widely used in England during the Sixteenth century as a synonym for "tavern." There was nothing musical about the cabarets of this period and the only amusement they afforded was that which the travelers furnished. While the word was used by Hramhall in one of his works published in 1085, it passed out of the language soon after that and did not return again until about the middle of the Eighteenth century. At this time, however, its stay was short and its popularity limited. Not until the dancing craze struck the world a few years ago was it resurrected in its present sense. It has changed its meaning so much of late that, if a hotel advertised A "cabaret" and did not provide at least an orchestra. It would be accused of fraud—while as a matter of several centuries of custom, it would be entirely within its rights. (Copyright.)

THE WOODS BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH DOWN GRADE. Yes, I know—you do not think; You only hear the glasses click And feel the bogus joy of drink. Life looks all summer through a glass The whisky road is green with grass— But life and summer both will pass. It's easy now to drink or not. To drink a little or a lot; But after all your drinking, what? May it not happen ere the grave The thing you laugh at you will crave— The master will become the slave! Is God! I have seen them: Boys like you, The frolteers of fighting crew. Who never thought and never knew, Who took the road that dips and gleams, That runs ahead of singing streams (Yet somehow never downward seems). With this same foolish passion played, The same old merry journey made, Who took the road of easy grade Till night came on, till sank the sun. Till shadows gathered one by one Around the path, and day was done. 'Twas then they turned; but now the hill Was high behind them, and the rill Within the valley dark and still— Around, the level of the plain; Above, a rocky path of pain To climb, if they would rise again. I am no preacher called to preach; I am no teacher fit to teach You younger men of better speech. Yet I have walked the merry road Where laughing rivers downward flowed. And climbed again with all the load. With all the load a man acquires Who follows after his desires Until he finds His lusts are flanks, Until he finds As found he will, The peace, the joy his age to fill He left behind him on the hill. My preaching is not perfect. Jock; Yet truth, at least, it does not mark— For I have been there boy, and buck. (Copyright.) What They Mean DID YOU DREAM OF YOUR RELATIONS? N OSTRADAMUS, Albertus Magnus, Mother Slilpton and wise gypsies seem to agree that it is a good omen to meet one's uncle in a dream and portends a happy marriage or a good substantial legacy, or both. Ing your aunt in Dreamland is not so propitious, for it signifies that you will shortly be called down for something of which you are not guilty. Ing relatives in dreams the signs to be considered to hold those seen be alive or dead, dream of seeing the friend alive. It is an especially good omen. To dream of one's mother, after not having seen her for a long time, indicates that you will make friends again with some of your relatives with whom you have had a falling out. There is a common impression that, one's mother being dead, it portends some misfortune to see her in a dream. Not so say the authorities; It is a propitious and to dream of speaking with her indicates that you will soon receive some good news. But if one hears his mother calling out to him in a dream, it is an indication that he should mend his ways and pay stricter attention to his business; perhaps engage in some new venture. If one dreams that he is making his home with his mother, it indicates security in fortune. To sum up, to see relatives, alive or dead, in fairly good health in your dream is a Most favorable prognostication. (Copyright.)

City People Have Inspected Produce in Farm and Know Under What Conditions Foodstuffs Are Raised —One Case Cited. Many producers living near summer resorts supply produce in the summer months to the persons at the resorts, and during the other months of the year ship produce to "Idle they are in the city. This, say marketing specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, is one of the best methods of obtaining customers for direct marketing, as the producer and consumer have some quaintance. In most instances the customers have been at the producer's farm and know under what conditions the Articles are produced. One man who lives near a summer resort in Indiana is about twelve miles from the nearest town of any size. He does not desire to drive to this town because of his farm produce and is not satisfied with the prices that the bucksters pay. Consequently, he built up a business of supplying products to retailers in the summer and of shipping produce by parcel post and express to these persons in their city homes in the winter. The principal products shipped are butter, eggs, and dressed poultry. This producer uses good shipping containers and packs produce attractively. As he is acquainted with his customers, he renders statements of accounts only once a month. In this way, the matter of making payments is simplified for the customers. This producer has had no trouble in establishing his business nor in retaining customers, he states that his only trouble has been in getting enough high-grade produce to supply all of his customers. These persons obtain the best hatchings of eggs. One male should be used with every 18 hens of birds like orpingtons or Rocks. The male must be in the flock from ten to fourteen days before the eggs laid can be used for hatching purposes. After the male has been removed from the flock, hatchable eggs will be laid for about three weeks thereafter. To secure good, hatchable eggs, provide one male to every twenty-four or other egg breeds; use one male to every twenty-four or other egg breeds; use one male to every twenty-four or other egg breeds. Tests indicate that a 20 percent mixture with food makes most satisfactory bait. A study of Tuirium carbonate as a rat poison, made by the United States Department of Agriculture, indicates that a 20 percent mixture with food makes a satisfactory bait. With this percentage, a rat ordinarily needs to eat only one-third or three-eighths of a meal of average size to get a fatal dose. It was found that with this dose, many of the rats poisoned died with in 24 hours, though an occasional rat was found which survived an even larger amount, thus indicating that 100 percent mortality is not to be expected in any case. A summary of results of experiments conducted by various persons with a view to determining the condition of barium to different animals shows the fallacy of the assumption that barium is poisonous only to rats. It is pointed out that the fatal dose of barium per pound tends to decrease relatively as the size of the animal increases, and that a huit calculated to be fatal to rats may be assumed to be more or less dangerous to small domestic animals also. SUCCULENT FEED FOR FOWLS Now That Good Qualities of Forages Are Well Known Hens Should Be Given Ample Supply. Everyone knows that a hen lays the earliest when she gets the succulent grasses that first shoot out of the earth in spring. Most successful feeders use in their mashes a bushel of some heavy, non-fattening, yet nutritious food. For a long time the best feeders of the country used wheat bran for their hogs, but now that the good qualities of forages are well known, the bill of fare should be changed to suit.
