A Fad for Flowers
HU Prediction That Funeral and Man
riage Were Before Him Turned
Out to Be Exact.
Last week a friend drifted in from
the Old Home Town, now 20 years
back of me, and we had a season of
gossip about the old acquaintances
which was soul satisfying. Some of
the stories were pathetic, some were
sordid, some were humorous, but all
of them illustrated phases of life in a
country town. Perhaps this one about
Ezra whs the best.
When 1 left the Old Home Town
Ezra was the possessor of a wife
whom he had had for 25 years or
more, and who was in fairly good
condition, although a little deaf, as
might well be, for no woman ever
talked more fluently or more willingly
than did her husband. For some rea
son she was taken ill; and died, and
Ezra mourned her for a time, not an
exceedingly long time, and then he be
gan to take notice and presently mur-
ried again.
This wife No. 2 was. of course, a
later model, hut she, too. fell ill, and
the physician advised an operation.
Ezra hired an automobile and went
with her to the hospital, where the
physicians told him that there was lit
tle hope that she would recover. He
went home sorrowfully, and finally he
broke out to the driver in this way:
"Good Lord, I’ve got to go through it
all again—bury this wife >md then get
another one!”
And he was a true prophet for
things happened just ns lie predicted.
—Hartford Courant
CORN CLUB BOYS MAKE FINE
RECORD
That th club work among the farm
er boys is well worth the effort is
evidenced by the magnificient show
ing made by some of these boys.
Mason Hendrix has made the high
est record, making a yield of 104.76
bushels per acre; Theo Gresham*comes
next with 85.64 bushels , and Wilbur
Parr, 56 bushels.
The lessons these boys hae learned
will be worth thousands of dollars to
them in the future and the example
to others ought to prove of immense
value. 1 ' •
There is a fad for artificial flowers
to be used instead of natural flowers
for household decoration just now
and every home-loving woman will be
sure to enjoy a gift of this kind. Small
garden roses, nasturtiums and chrys
anthemums are great favorites and
these particular flowers are cleverly
made. They appear in baskets and
vases as shown above and make a
charming Christmas gift.
Christmas Slippers
Was It Murder or
Suicide?
It was just an ordinary bed
room in which the body of
Capt. Gunner was found. There
was no sign of a struggle, no
indication of self-destruction.
The door was locked and the doctor
who examined the body declared that
death was not; due to natural causes.
Beside the body was found a small
harmonica. Such is the opening set
ting of the new serial we have secured
for publication—
By P. G. WODEHOUSE
It was a case that puzzled the
police—baffled them all until
the famous Snyder detective
agency was called in to solve it. With
ridiculous ea$e Investigator Oakes
built up a very, convincing and plaus
ible case of murder, but—
That is all we are going to tell you
about this unusually clever mystery.
Redd tind Enjoy It for
Yourself
lift Short, but There Is a Surprise
in Every Chapter
ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT;
Practically Impossible for Any Prop
osition, However Good, to Be
Absolutely Without Flaw.
Thoro Is nothing however good but
n person may find some fuult in it if
he is determined to do ho. There is
nothing perfect that is of man’s mak-
* ing. There is nothing that man origin
ates or performs but what contains
more or lc:.ss of his weakness. Worth,
like water, must stay below the level
of its source. It is quite natural that
a person should dissent. The scientists
dispute as much as the theologians.
Every time one obtains a new stand
point "he changes his opinion. Every-
tirne he meets a friend he finds that
he differs.
So we must make up our minds to
disagree id the right spirit, observes
the Ohio State Journal. If we don’t do
(hat and our disagreement falls into
ill will and anxiety, thea we become
enemies of the truth and social pests
besides. ’Hie person we earnestly and
candidly disagree with may be right
and ourselves wholly wrong. It would
make us feel very absurd sometimes
In the midst of a violent controversy,
to have a sudden light let in on the
controversy and show our adversary
entirely right. The safest thing, so far
qs one’s conduct toward him Is con
cerned is to remember he may he right
find treat ldro accordingly.

Markings of Horae's Coat:
It Is found that there is a very defi
nite connection between the coat color
of horses nnd the frequency with
which white markings occur. Thus
the latter are by far the most com
monly associated with the chestnut
color. And uot ouly are they the most
prevalent in chestnut horsps, but it is
also, of .course, a well-known fact that
tile markings arc apt tqrbe more ex
tended in uni lire -in the‘case of this
color than in that of any other. Chest
nut, therefore, apparently possesses
M4 to speak, a special affinity for these
markings. Bay ranks next as regards
the; degree of -frequency with which
white markings'appoar ks hemp of
this color, although It comes a good
way behind chestnut in this respect.
Then follows brown, while the white
tnarks are met with less frequently
among black and roan colored horses.

Why Strike Cotlapeed.
Two telegraph operators worked In
the office of the Milwaukee Free Press.
Both were employed hy the press as
sociation aqri not, by' the paper. They
fame soused one Sunday night, de
cided to strike, making demands for
more pay and shorter hours from the
managing editor of the newspaper.
They were told to make their petition
to their employers. The telegraphers
retired for a council of war, put the
strike into effect and decided to picket
the office. The office had but one en
trance, but there must be strategy;
so one of the strikers posted himself
directly In front of the office and the
other around the corner, the two be
ing out of sight of each other.
’ Then each had the same hunch of
. getting another drink.' Tbtjy left their
posts and that was the end of the
strike. Other operators were called In
and the wires buzzed merrily on.—

The perennial rag doll that appears
this year Is made of any ribbed goods
—as a ribbed stocking—tinted pink.
It is cut out by a pattern, sewed and
stuffed with cotton. The face and hair
are the result of red, black and
white water color. The doll is then
dressed up in Yriue cotton crepe and
a blue stocking cap.
A ball made from scraps of velvet
is a fine gift for a very little boy. It
takes twelve pieces, measuring three
inches across at their widest part to
make it They are sewed together,
leaving an opening for stuffing with
cotton, and the brighter the colors
used the better.
Novelist’s Wife Puts In.
; "She regretted the bath. She missed
it and so must we all. In modern his
tory, us in modern fiction, it Is not
nice in the least for the heroine—even
sudh a dubious heroine as Mamiae—
to have a bat bless day. As for heroes,
in the polite chronicles, they get at
least tw o baths a day—one heroic cold
shower in the morning and ons hot
tub in 1 lie late afternoon before get
ting into faultless evening attire. This
does not apply to heroes of Russian
masterpieces, of course, for they never
bat lie. (‘Why should they, my wife

suicide anyway?’)"—"The Cup of
