ROADSIDE DITCHES OBVIATED.

Is a menace to the safety of loaded
wagons that may have to turn out to
allow each other to pats. In case of

A Nickel Cigar.
A good “kid” story from the Hutch¬
inson Gazette: It was the boss’ birth¬
day. The office boy knew it, because
he had heard the boss’ wife say so.
The office boy worshiped the boss
and bad bought him a birthday pres¬
ent. Oftep he had heard the boss say
that the only presents he liked were
cigars, providing they were ten-cent
cigars, and he was worried for fear
the boss might not like his present.
The boss came in and threw open
his desk. Lying there he saw a small
parcel. He opened it and found that
it contained a cigar. He looked at it
closely. It was a nickel cigar.
“Huh,” said the boss, disgustedly.
Then he noticed that there was writ¬
ing on the paper. He read:
“Hapy birthday, i dident buy a ten
center cause i only had a nickle.”
The boss bit the end off the cigar,
reached in his pocket and drew out
a match and lighted the weed. He
puffed critically a minute.
“I didn’t know they made such
good cigars for a nickel,” he said.—

No Extempore Pretensions.
“I alius enjoy hearin’ the Declara¬
tion of Independence read on the
Fourth of July,” said Farmer Corn-
tossel.
“It is a noble document.”
“Yes. But what I particularly ad¬
mire about that kind of a program is-
that it prevents a professional ora¬
tor from startin’ off by savin’ that he
did not expect to be called on fur a
speech.”—Washington Star.

A Hoodoo Black Chicken.
Mrs. Cal Remy, a thrifty housewife
of this place, recently had an experi¬
ence with some poultry which was
unusual, to say the least. One of her
hens hatched a brood of chickens, all
of which were white bat one.
The hen attempted to kill the one
black chicken and was prevented
from doing so only by Mrs. Remy
transferring the black chick to anoth¬
er hen. This hen, however, also had
a brood of white chicks, and she too
objected to'the black chick to the ex¬
tent that she tried to kill it.
Finally, Mrs. Remy took the de¬
spised black chicken, more ’’end than
alive, and placed it in a cage with a
canary bird.
Here the chick was not molested,
but was permitted to peep to its
heart’s content. The peeping, how-
ever, finally got on the nerves of the
canary and now he has ceased to sing
and makes no noise save that of peep-
ing, in imitation of his cage mate.—

A Concrete Aquarium.
A very artistic and durable aqua¬
rium can be made of reinforced con¬
crete and glass, as shown in the
sketch.
Secure four pieces of glass, plate
glass preferred, the desired size to
make tank, say about nine inches
wide, twelve inches long and ten
inches deep. Set the edges of the
glass in a concrete base made about
one inch thick. This can be done in
a temporary wooden mold. Use good
Portland cement in making, and take

Buying the First Bond.
In the lives of most people there
are a few r moments that are not only
big with importance but remain long
in the memory, One of these mo-
meuts may be the first sight of the
ocean; another, when great snowclad
mountains first come into view. Still
another, though perhaps not quite so
romantic, is that time when the aver¬
age man or woman draws his or her
savings out of a bank and buys the
first bond.—Moody’s Magazine.
The world’s stock of gold money is
practically seventy-five per cent, more
than a decade ago.

BABY HORRIBLY BURNED
By Boiling Grease—Skin All Came
Off One Side of Face and Head—
Thought Her Disfigured For Life
—Used Cuticura: No Scar Left.
“My baby was sitting beside the fender
and we were preparing the breakfast when
the frying-pan full of boiling grease was up¬
set, and it went all over one side of her face
and head. Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took
her to a doctor. He tended her a week
and gavf^me some stuff to put on. But it
all festered and I thought the baby was
disfigured for life. I used about three
boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was
wonderful how it healed. In about five
weeks it was better and there wasn’t a
mark to tell where the scald had been.
Her skin is just like velvet. Airs. Hare,

Ants Use Combs and Brushes.
No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who can not tolerate the pres-
ence of dirt on her body. These lit-
tie creatures actually use a number
of real toilet articles in keeping
themselves clean. No less an author¬
ity than Dr. McCook says their toilet
articles consist of coarse and fine
toothed combs, hair brushes, sponges,
and even washes and soap, Their
saliva is their liquid soap, and their
soft tongues are their sponges. Their
combs, however, are the genuine
artiole and differ from -ours mainly
in that they are fastened in the 1 :
legs. The ants have no set time for
their toilet operations, but stop and
clean up whenever they get soiled.—

Cubical Cantaloupes.
C. E. Parrish on North Yakima.
Wash., marketed cantaloupes here
this week that are perfect cubes.
Parrish has been doing novel
things with fruit and vegetables for
several years, but says that his idea
of growing cantaloupes in the shape
of cubes is the most practical of any-
thing he has undertaken. He had
troughs made from heavy lumber and
these are partitioned to make an in¬
terior size of 4 inches each way. As
soon as new cantaloupes are seen to
form on the vines each fruit is
placed in one of the partitions in. a
trough. The fruit continues to grow
and gradually assumes the shape of
the cubical house in which it lives.
To prevent the tep from becoming
round Parrish places a heavy top on
the trough in time to avoid it.
As soon as the cantaloupes have
filled up the cubic shape allotted to
them, they are taken out by remov¬
ing the bottom of the trough and
packed away to ripen.
Parrish already has larger troughs
partitioned off, in which he is grow¬
ing square watermelons, and all over
his apple, pear and peach trees he
has hundreds of cubical shaped boxes
hanging, each filling with fruit.—
