K. BOTHWELL, JOPLIN, MISSOURI. Auctioneer z=: On Retiring “Do you ever go to bed at 8 o'clock?" inquired the young woman with the “One of the girls told me the other day that going to bed at 8 o'clock and crinking a quart of but- termilk a day would positively beauti- fy the worst complexion in the world.” “It would ruin my disposition,” said young Mrs. Allison with a grimace. “Besides, dear, if one went to bed ev- ery night at 8 o'clock, what would one want a complexion for?” The young woman with the retrous- se nose considered. “Well,” she said finally, “of course you wouldn't need to do it forever, Secure the complexion and then stop. And,” she added in a hopeful voice, “probably while you're doing it you could take every Saturday night off.” The fluffy-haired blonde giggled rem- iniscently. “I was just thinking,” she aid, defending herself against the sus- | pielous looks that were cast at her, “IT was just thinking about the night last week that I retired at 8 o'clock | myself. “It was on Tuesday night,” explain ed the fluffy-haired blonde. “I was awfully sleepy, because George hac been calling the night before and had stayed unparJonably late.” “Er—George Featherstone Ralston?” Inquired young Mrs. Allison, with a polite smile. “The same," said the fluffy-haired blonde, resignedly. ‘He's a terrible bore, of course, but he’s my second cousin a few times removed, ‘and he seems naturally obliged to hold forth 1o somebody about the charms of that eastern girl he’s engaged to. He has apparently selected me for an auli ence.” The other members of the circic groaned in unison and folded up their sewing by way of welcoming the ap- proaching tea tray. “Therefore, on Tuesday night,” went on the fluffy-haired blonde, “I went up- stairs almost directly after dinner and took down my hair and put on my ki- mono, and lay down on my couch with a new novel and a box of marshma} low chocolates——” “How about your complexion?” mur- mured young Mrs. Allison, with a sigh of sympathy. “Oh, those?” said the fluffy-haired blonde. ‘Well, you see, I didn’t eat any dessert at dinner, so I was entitl- ed to eat something of the sort, wasn't ee “Certainly,” said young Mrs. Allison, obligingly. “By all means. Go on with your story, dear.” “Well,” resumed the fluffy-haired blonde, “the chocolates were uncom: monly good, and my couch is ever so deep and comfortable, and I was just coming to the chapter in my novel where the villain proves to have been in love with the beautiful heroine all along, and, owing to his peculfar psy- chological circumstances, the poor man had been grossly misunderstood —and all that, you know—when the door bell rang! “It was only a quarter to 9, so, of course, it seemed likely that it was a caller for me. Then quite suddenly it.occurred to me that Tuesday is al- ways the evening that Hallowell Fenn calls—not every Tuesday, you under. stand, but sometimes.” “Quite so,” said young Mrs. Allison, amiably. “I'm distinctly foolish about Hallowell myself.” The fluffy-haired bonde nodded, “My small brother had rushed to the door,” she explained. “Then, instead of com: ing up and telling me who was there, he simply shouted for me at the top of his lungs, and slammed the front door behind him.” She smiled grimly. “Of course,” she continued, -“I-sim- ply fell into my best clothes, and did my hair, and hunted up my beaded slippers—they’re always lost when | want them—and descended to the li- brary in exactly 11 minutes, with cor- dial haste and a so-sorry-to-keep-you- waiting smile.” She paused dramatic. ally. “It was not Hallowell!” she said, with patient finality. “As a matter of fact, it was not anybody for whom | was willing to outrage my habit. of leisure. It was George—George Feath- erstone—Cousin George Featherstone Ralston. Again! “He had a picture of his fiancee which he had received that day and he wanted to show it to me first of all, he said. Really, it wag almost pa- thetic. -I begin to like Cousin George out of sheer kindness of heart.” There was a chorus of questions. “Oh, yes, he showed it to me,” con- cluded the fluffy-haired blonde. “He thinks she is beautiful. She really did have rather nice eyes. But I assure you, in all seriousness, she grinned at me from the photograph!” Tulips for Room Decoration. Tulips are much more valuable for room decoration than are the large flowered hyacinths. They have not the heavy, overpowering odor of the latter and the lovely tints harmonize well with almost any kind of furnish. ings. Pot up now, as, like many other bul- bous plants, the tulip dislikes hard forcing, and so the earlier, in reason, the bulbs are potted up, the more slowly need they be grown, and the better will be the results. A good number of bulbs should be placed in each pot, as it is a fairly large mass that is most effective. If required for cutting, large numbers may very well be planted in boxes of food sofl and treated in the same manner as the } Wee lass of six or seven, Out yonder at your play, You run among the roses, For you the branches sway And every bud uncloses, And all the world is fair— 80 do they play in Heaven, The little children there.

An Embarrassing Situation, “What in the world has become of that Black Spanish rooster [ bought last week?” asks the chicken fancier coming into the house Sunday morn- ing. “I'll bet there’s an organized gang of chicken thieves around here, but how they picked the lock on that coop is more than I can guess. Well, let’s hurry to church. Won't do any good to worry about {ft now. We'll stop at the police station and leave word on our way.” With a guilty flush on her face his wife puts her new chantecler hat, which {s adorned with some beautiful Black Spanish plumes, into the ward- robe and says: - “I—I've got a sudden headache, dear, and don’t believe I will go.” A Better Grade. ‘So Mrs. Wantsin’s children have the whooping cough?” asks the caller. “It’s too bad. She has always seemed so terribly afraid that they would catch that disease. She must be awfully exercised over it.” “No,” explains the friend. really seems happy about it.” “Happy?” __You_see, she ts absolutely. sure they took it from the ¢hildren of the rich family in the next block to her house.” “She An Oak Park Comment.

FARMING IS A BIG BUSINESS Requires Special Knowledge and Lote - of Energy If Best Results Are * to Be Obtained. CS | (By B, B.. LARA.) | The business of farming, a8 prac: | ticed, by the modern and progressive farmer, is comething altogether differ- | ent from the methods in force a few years ago. Everything about the mod. | ern farm is clean, wholesome and san- itary. Pigs, cows and chickens no longer occupy the front yard, in com- mon with the farmer’s family; ma- chinery is no longer left in the field to rust away, and the farmer and his family no longer dress shabb‘ly. The government, agricultural colleges, trol- ley lines, electric lights, telephones and rural free delivery are the great agencies responsible for this change. The modern farmer, especially an irrt- gation farmer, must be a scientist. He must farm scientifically. He can- hot surrender his orchard: to the pests. The law requires him to at least pro- téct his neighbor's orchards. If he fails to comply with the law requiring him to properly spray his trees, for | instance, the county or state steps in | and either does this work or chops down the trees and charges the ex- pense thereof to the land of the indo- lent farmer. One tree is now mace to bear more fruit than half a dozvn did a few years ago; one farm is made to pro- | available inch of land utilized profit- | ably, and the farmers and their fam. | {lies happy and contented. Panics do), not affect them much. They produce | the absolute necessities of life. The} world must look to them for a living so that, after all, the farmer is in- dispensable. Never before has iarming been car- ried on with g#uch a sure scientific foundation. With soil, sunshine and | water in just the proportions demand- ed by plant and tree, the business of farming and fruit growing has become an occupation suited to the educated man end woman. Scientific farming is in its heyday and intensive cultivation is making ten acres as profitable as 80, and 20 acres as remunerative as a quarter section. , It 1s no uncommon thing to see at work in the fields of an irrigated farm men of college training and of fine presence. With big horses and big tools, one | intelligent inan can now perform the tasks formerly requiring ten No salaried positions in the learned | professions can ordinarily command the pay equal to the returns from u 40-acre farm under intelligent mac agement. If the same area be put Into orchard the yield is often equa: to that of the president's salary of some great railway system.

While he was dying two friends called to see him, but his dog pre- vented their entering for some time. | | + | | mellow, diffused light—easy eye because it cannot flicker. can use yous eyes as long as you wish ¢ Rayo light without strain.
