By GEORGE ELMER COBB.
“She’s the finest lady in the land,”
soliloquized David Fenn, professor,
"and I somehow hanker after her
company. But, no —I don’t seem to
be able to summon up the courage to
call on her."
Kindly-faced, kindly-natured Mr.
Fenn referred to Miss Ursula Fetzer,
spinster. There had been a time
when he had called on her. She was
neat as waxwork about her little
home. Barely thirty, yet she called
herself an old maid. She had worked
at teaching music to accumulate the
little home and an income, had re
ceived some hard knocks in the world
and was exclusive and a bit quick
and sharp in her talk and manner.
David had thought her a most come
ly lady. Somehow, though. Miss Ur
sula had struck him as not caring
greatly for his company. In this he
was mistaken. It was “her ways”
that led to his erroneous Impression.
He mistook a certain strained wom
anly dignity for repellant dislike for
mankind. Her eyes looked clear
Ihrough him. He was a timid man.
He had ceased his visits when he be
came a professor at a college in a
neighboring town.
This especial day business had
brought him to Verden. There was
a fond lingering memory of the cozy
little home that smelled of lavender
and the inspiring cup of tea Miss
Ursula brewed. When he came to the
street where the artistic cottage
among the shrubbery was located, he
halted. Then he started on, walked
back, and then started on again, mur
muring:
"I’ll just pass the house. Of course
I wouldn’t venture in without an in
vitation.”
Then as he reached the fenced-in
nest of the lady he so respected, lie
dallied. A faint sigh stole from his
lips. The honeysuckles blooming so
radiantly, reminded him of a sweet
peaceful afternoon he had spent on
the porch with the mistress of that
ideal home.
"Neat as ever —everything In or
der,” he soliloquized. “She Is a won
derful woman. Ah, what is that?’’
Professor Fenn might well ask.
His placid peace of mind was sud
denly invaded. A sharp scream rang
out through the open front door of
the cottage. The tones electrified the
professor, for he instantly recognized
Staring Towards the House as If Fear
ing Some Dreaded Pursuer.
that they belonged to Miss Fetzer.
The next moment she herself In per
son burst past the screen door. She
was wringing her hands. She bound
ed down the steps recklessly. Then
with an agile spring she leaped to a
garden seat, and gathering up her
dainty white skirts, posed breathless,
staring towards the house as if fear
ing some dreaded pursuer. With a
spryness due to college athletics her
visitor bounded over the fence. She
saw him.
“Oh, Professor Fenn, save me!”
shrieked Miss Fetzer.
“I will—what is it?”
“In the house!”
“A burglar! Ha' I will Investigate,”
began the professor.
“No, no—a mouse!” and the speak
er sank to the bench, showed symp
toms of hysterics, and her gallant pro
tector sat down beside her and tried
to soothe her.
“It may not have been a mouse,”
submitted the professor. “Perhaps it
was a shadow.”
"But I saw, and —oh, it squealed!”
tremored the unnerved lady. “I am
mortally afraid of mice. Besides that,
to think of one being in my house, so
careful am I!”
“Yes, truly an immaculate house
keeper,” murmured the admiring pro
fessor. “Let me essay a search for
the —the monster,” and the professor
gripped his cane and hurried into the
house. He emerged shortly with the
words:
“I have failed to find any trace of
the intruder. Miss Fetzer.”
“I shall not rest in peace from this
on,” declared the lady vehemently.
“Why. some houses have become fair
ly overrun by the pest! Oh, Pro
fessor Fenn you are such a clever
man, with all your science. Can you

not suggesi some way of banishin;
the pests?”
"I shall try, surely, Miss Fetzer,’ 1 he
promised with eagerness. “You shall
hear from me later In the day.”
Professor Fenn was quite radiant as
he went his way. While In the home
looking for that mouse, he had no
ticed on one end of the mantel a
framed photograph of Miss Fetzer. To
his surprise and pleasure, at the other
end was one of himself. It was a por
trait he recognized as having been
taken from a magazine that had pub
lished it. Glad thought! She cared
enough for him to-mate liis picture
with her >wn! He moved them an
inch or two nearer together. He
would have liked to kiss her portrait!
Somewhere in the village, the pro
fessor remembered, he had seen the
sign of a man who made a business
of extermlupting insects and other
pests. He finally located this man. If
the guilelesr professor had been an
expert phystl gnomist, he would have
noted that the rat-catcher’s eye resem
bled that of s ime of his ferrets. How
ever, he stated his mission.
"Hum! ha 1 ’ muttered the man.
“One mouse? Tell you, sir, we might
be a month finding him. Couldn’t
think of bothering with the case under
ten dollars. tk> our best for that.
Kid the premises, if possible.”
The professor landed out the
money.
“Further, sir, I’ll jr-arantee the job
on a basis of one dollar for each
mouse caught over ten.”
“Very well,” agreed De professor.
Two weeks later ProfesWr Fenn re
ceived a bill for "39 extry mice, job
done neatly and guaranteed,’' ind paid
It. Along, too, came a note frcvi Miss
Fetzer.
She thanked the professor for clear
ing her premises of those annoying
pests. Nearly fifty mice found! But,
thank goodness! she was now rid of
them. She hoped the professor would
pass his coming Vacation in his (tome
town.
Which he did, and that was the be
ginning of regular calls on the ’ady
who so interested him.
Each time he visited the house, nly
ly, from some erratic whim, the pro
fessor moved the tw r o portraits near
er and nearer together.
One day he found out that he had
been neatly tricked by the subtle rat
catcher. The latter had played suc
cessfully on the fears of Miss Fetzer.
He had, in fact, caught just one
mouse. The balance were felt dum
mies, which he showed her, but she
shriekingly refused to inspect them
closely.
The professor told Miss Fetzer of
the Incident, and laughed. She was
relieved to think that, after all, there
was only one tiny mouse to get scared
at.
That especial evening the professor
determined to learn his fate. They
were conversing casually, when he
pointed to the mantel. He had moved
the portraits nearer and nearer, until
they were only a few inches apart.
“I moved those pictures, accordingly
as each of my visits seemed to bring
me nearer to you, Miss Fetzer,” he ob
served.
His hostess blushed, showing that
she was aware of the operation as it
had progressed. He drew’ his chair
closer to her own, and she did not
seem to object.
“Now r , how do you think they really
belong?” he submitted. “Won’t you
show me? Shall we say this way?”
and he deliberately moved them di
rectly side by side.
“I—l like to see-them together, yes,”
she fluttered, shyly as some school
girl.
“Let you and I follow their exam
ple,” suggested the professor, grown
bold and happy all in a flash, and he
drew her to a true lover’s embrace.

The Minister and the Steak.
The following incident related by
Norman Duncan, author of “Higgins, a
Man’s Christian,” makes plain why the
late Rev. Francis E. Higgins gained
such influence among the lumberjacks.
“Boys,” he once said to them, “I’ll
never forget a porterhouse steak I saw
once. I’m a big man, you know, and
w’hen I get hungry I’m hungry. You
know how they fix those windows up—
a chunk of ice and some lettuce and a
steak or two. Well, boys, all at once
I got so hungry that I ached. I could
hardly wait to get in there. But I
stopped. ‘Look here, Higgins,’ thought
I, ‘what if you didn’t have a cent;
what if you w ere a dead broke lumber
jack and hungry like this?’ Boys, it
frightened me. I understood just what
those poor fellows suffer. And I
couldn’t go in the restaurant until I
had got square with them. ‘Look here,
Higgins,’ I thought, ‘the best thing
you can do is to go and find a hungry
lumberjack somewhere and feed him.'
And I did, too; and I tell you, boys, I
enjoyed my dinner.”
Nelson and Villeneuve.
When Nelson fell at Trafalgar he
was only forty-seven years old, and
the French commander, Admiral de
Villeneuve, was only forty-two. The
latter was a brilliant sailor, who had
already fought against Nelson, and he
thoroughly realized what the English
tactics were going to be on this oc
casion. Indeed, he held a meeting of
the captains of the allied fleet and lu
cidly explained then?. Nelson would
not, he said, form a line of battle paral
lei with the allied line. “He will seek
to pierce our line, surround our rear
and overpower with groups of his ves
sels as many of oui's as he can cut
off.” Still, although prepared for this
form of attack. Villeneuve failed to re
sist it, and he was taken prisoner, bit
terly regretting that no shot had dealt
him the same fate as Nelson.

ORIGIN OF WHITE WYANDOTTE
White Cochin Blood Was Introduced
in Making of Breed as Feathers
on Legs Would Denote.
A question has been asked relative
to the Wyandotte breed, and why the
White Wyandotte will sometimes show
a dark feather and even show a faint
ruff of feathers on its legs? There
are several varieties now of the Wyan
dotte, but the first to be admitted to
the standard was the Silver Wyan
dotte. From the first the Silver Wyan
dotte had the rose comb. The next
Flock of White Wyandottes.
variety of Wyandottes to be admitted
was the White Wyandotte. The Towle
and the Briggs Wyandottes were the
first to be shown, each of these fanciers
stating that the White Wyandottes
kept by them came as sports from
the Silver Wyandotte, and yet claim
Is made that no one can tell exactly
where the first Wyandotte originated,
as several breeders must have been
breeding for this type of fowl at about
the same time, and that all the early
White Wyandottes were sports from
the Silver variety is not likely to bo
true. It is thought that White Cochin
blood W'as introduced in the making of
the White Wyandotte at the beginning,
as the size, shape and color of the
eggs not only denotes this, but that
feathers appear at times on the legs
raakes this seem probable. Why dark
feathers often appear in certain of
these birds good enough to show is
often a mystery to the breeder. These
seldom appear in such numbers that
they cannot handily be pulled out.
The purest blood may show these.
However, White Wyandottes are im
proving away from most of their early
tendency to reversion.
HOME-GROWN POULTRY FEED
Not a Difficult Task to Get Eggs Dur
ing Winter If Ordinary Horse
Sense Is Exercised.
To get eggs in winter under the con
ditions obtainable on a general farm
is, I find, no difficult task if ordinary
horse sense is used in the matter of
feeding and housing, writes W. K.
Moore in an exchange. As far as pos
sible I use the food grown on the farm,
feeding as soon after daylight as prac
ticable a mash composed of fine corn
chop and alfalfa meal, half and half
by measure. Feed all that the birds
will clean up by noon, then give about
one gallon of oats to each 100 hens,
scattering it in straw litter in the
scratching shed or hen house. At
noon, or shortly after, I give all the
ear com they will clean up by night,
and let them shell it.
For a meat food I get good results
from the cracklings obtained from the
local butcher for one cent per pound,
of which I give about two pounds to
every hundred hens three times a
week. I find that a good way to do
this is to mix the cracklings in the
mash when steaming it; this softens
them so that the fowls will get every
part that is not bone. I keep oyster
shell and dry cracked bone before
them at all times.
The mash referred to is mixed dry,
and boiling water poured over it
and it is left to steam for at least
two hours —or better, over night. For
variety, I mix with the mash potatoes,
beets or anything of the kind that is
obtainable; however, a diet of oats,
corn and alfalfa, with a little meat,
will give good profit in eggs.
The poultry house must be air-tight
and water-tight on four sides, the top,
north, east and west. The floor may
be of earth if proper drainage is ar
ranged so that it will always be dry,
and most of the south side may be
made of common unbleached muslin.
Feed White Clover Hay.
White clover hay is the richest in
lime. Feeding clover is a preventive
of soft-shelled eggs. Cut clover hay
has helped revolutionize the poultry
business. Red clover bay contains
about twenty-eight pounds of lime to
the thousand pounds. Scald the hay
at night, and keep it covered, so it can
steam. See that the clover is cut to
one-third to one-half inch lengths.
When longer it is apt to pack in the
crop, causing crop-bound.
Talking Through His Hat.
When you hear a farmer saying one
hen is as good as another, don’t waste
time trying to find his name among
those who attend farmers’ institutes.
If you don’t find him at home fie is

coffee or die.

feeling that I was almost gone—my
heart seemed so smothered and weak

I slept but little and suffered from
rheumatism.
“Two years ago I stopped using the
coffee and began to use Postum and
from the very first I began to improve.
It worked a miracle! Now I can eat
anything and digest it without trouble.
I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats
strong and regularly. My breathing
has become steady and normal, and
my rheumatism has left me.
