by the stove the former youne scarcely more than a boy and ha talked freely about himself the minister learned that ho came from a christian home but since bo cut low as he expressed it he had had little to do with churches or re- llslous people for all that it woo apparently a welcome relief from the loncllnosa of his vlsll to have theoe old bono memories revived and he spoke of his father and mother and sister with a hint of unsteadiness in his younx voice and described with almost rhlldlsh frankness the appear nee of tho vlllare church which ho used to attend and how hlsh the old- fashioned pulpit looked from the pew where ha sat the minister stayed in the warm basement of the mill until dawn beaan to show in the east then bade his new acquaintance aoodbye and finished hla journey weeks hod passed and the incident had a lip pod out of carrolls m when he received a letter from the formex- nlsnt watchman which told him far more than the niaht conversation had done the youns man had drifted farther front hla careful homo tralninc than be- admitted at tho time not only hod be clvcn up churcnxolnc but be frequented questionable places amusement drank a little rambled

sever other smaller one and when he heard tho tramp of bis visitors feet outside he had wellnlxh decided upon a means of raising the money which would have made him a common criminal 1 the eyes of the law the visit of the minister had bee more than a welccxno relief from lonr- llneaa it had called up memories of a past hewas sadly in dancer of for and rebuked silently hla prea ent manner of life as ho left his wateb at daybreak he knew that the thirty he had contemplated possible low and d that the surest way to break with his bod as sociations here was to resign his position xnd seek employment

carry off a successful cheat no doubt it is because they have will lngiy acquiesced in the falsa tradition that a jute of hostility between the teacher and pupil inevitably exists that lho teacher is always tryinjt to get the better of the pupil and that the pupil la therefore justified in doing anything he can to circumvent the teacher schoolboys seem to tax it for granted that they ore entitled to certain exceptions from the normal code of ethics at least that there are some ipp that it is all right to do as long- as yo arc not found out tho boy who cribs u on examination and holds in a foot ball garao is perhaps a reasonably hon est and straightforward person he does what he knows other good fel lows have done and so his conscience does not trouble him yet tvhon a system of cheating in a school or a college is uuddenly brought to light the boys whi tightly joked among themselves about the cribbing ore ashamed and mortlfled the school or tho college la hurt tn the public esteem there appears little of the pranksomo and jocular to extenuate tho shabblnesa of the demonstrated fact and somehow all the easy justi dent ions fall to the ground there is only one standard of honor and it la not to be revised by schoolboys the easy wav there is an instinct in most of us which ursis us to choose the cosy way often telling tho truth means dlfnculty unpleasant explanations possibly cen- oure ul of which could be avoided by a little equivocation half of the un truths ire told not because the speak i r prufer fuhu hoods but beeuuse they ere looking for the easy way and find it through

will torn many an unprofitable cow into a profitable ono by increasing her milk supply it is obviously also a preventive of disease and as a labor aver for the farmer there is no doubt oonccrntttg 1l the cow actually contiols the supply of water hy lifting or cloning the lid of the fountain herself when the lid la raised the supply valve is opened and the drain outlet is closed while lowering rtr closing the lid closes jho supply valvo and opens the drain let no water remains in tho cup as it la at ill times empty except when the co is actually drinking from it each fountain is attached to the water pipe just the same as on oral nary cock or other plumbing fixture and no teperato or boat tank quired the cover also keeps hay and trash out at the water experiments have shown that a cow will reuse water that is stale on 1 filthy with the miscellaneous debris of the barn tn if and therefore her milk supply suffers this fountain is a stimulant for her to drink large quantities of fresh clean water the modern dairyman cannot fall to appreciate the advantage of this cup and desire to have it installed in his no ap todato dairyman can afford to let hi animals or business lifter for the

uniforms on and were changej that way but the strut and tho carriage of them was different- tho i there wan an unusual crowd on the streets of that bunch of vctcrann everyone in town seemed proud and out to see them march down thr streets i waited for these onlookers to give a rousing choc as they passed by but they were truo to acton crowds they felt their appreciation but seem ed to keep it pent up for the final out burst at lho climax of tho function that climax seemed to bo reached in the meeting in tho town hall folio win- tho parade hero the loyalty to those veterans was promised tliatarcally counts and acton will come up to tho full mcaauru in ever rrapoct who lupport n solicited by them if matters continue aa expectations seem to anticipate tho bowling greens on 1 lower

having club privileges opened to them bomn of ua who should be busier at other matters of more importance spend a lot of our time on tho greens naturally the women folks think this foollah on our part but when they gef into tho gnmo and eee the fun we have guiding our brilliant ahot to the kitty x can ima gine they will let us continue in the sport quite unperturbed and smllo wisely but i never look for the women folk to take tho gnmo real serious i may miss my guess in this but what i look for la that they will play for a season or so and it will then develop into a social aide of tho club that will be attended to by the ladles and right hero is where i bclievo they will play their most important port as members of tho bowling club mow ladies dont for a minute think tliat we dont want you to join in tho gamo with us i know that lsnt the wish of a single member what i think is that once you try the game you will der at all our enthusiasm and why we like it- just the same as if you knew what took us out to lodge in all kinds of weathcaa you would he fled i believe curiosity is starting the ladies at the game but will it las it i hope ao and now ladles it is up to you to fool me
