Murphy ran on to Woods In the hard- ware department, “Hello, there, Woods, old man!” Murphy exclaimed. “Glad to see you!” “And glad to see you,” Woods re- plied. “Rather snappy weather we're haying, isn’t it?’ “Yes, but just right to make you feel fine,” Murphy answered. “Nothing like 4 dash of cold weather to put pep and punch into a fellow!” “I suppose so,” Woods admitted, “and yet I believe I'll take the good old summer time tor mine. It’s get- ting rather too cool for comfort. I had to move in from the sleeping porch the other night.’” “Move in from the porch!" Murphy exclaimed. “Man, alive, you ought to sleep out all winter long! Fresh air will do you good, Our houses are built ~ too much like a bandbox—we're too afraid a little fresh air will get into them!” “Maybe so,” Woods agreed, to ea- cape argument. “But here's iny pur chase, Good day! See you again!” As Woods walked away the clerk inquired of Murphy what he wished to buy. “I want to look at some first-class weather strips for windows,” Murphy, the fresh-air fiend, informed him.— Kansas City Star. POET FOND OF ODD PETS Rossetti Said to Have Lavished Affec- tion on All Sorts of Birds and Animals, Among the eccentricities of Dante Gabrielle Rossetti was his passion for strange pets. Many a queer “beastie” was to be found in his London home in Cheyne walk. His brother, in his “Memoirs,” says that Dante Gabriel had no liking for an animal on account of its beauty, but that he preferred rather the quaint, odd, or grotesque. His pets were strangely various. There were dogs, owls, rabbits, door- mice, hedgehogs, wombats, armadillos, kangaroos, wallabies, a deer, a white mouse with her brood, a racoon, squir- rels, a mole, a rayen, a jackdaw, laughing jackasses, a parrot, a pea- cock, chameleons, green lizards, and Japanese salamanders. The animals upon which the poet spent his warm- est affections were a wombat and a woodchuck. He would sit with these fat, lumpish quadrupeds in his arms by the hour, dandling them, gently scratching at their cheeks or noses, or making the weodchuck’s head and quirrel Poison WHEN YOU BUY YOUR STRYCHNINE FROM US YOU CAN REST ASSURED YOU ARE GETTING Genuine fullstrength strychnine GIVE YOU THE GOVERNMENT FORMULA FOR MIXING WITH WHEAT OR OATS FREE— ve Turner Drug Store PRESCRIPTION DRUGGIST type original bottles FACTORY.

Each of them was his housemate for a time, and each expired without warning, A Short-Haired Age. “Long hair for man is a thing of the past,” sald the barber, “I don’t mean the kind that could be braided, but the kind that used to be worn by ‘states- men'—the sort that bushed out be- hind, and imparted a majestic appear- ance to an otherwise insignificant in- dividual. Twenty years ago a man did not consider that he was living up to the traditions of congress un- less he wore a lot of hair on his head. Now men want short hair, and I think the secret of this change in style “ig due to the fact that ‘fairly close cropped hair gives a suggestion of youth, and that after all is a greater possession than the reputation of be- Ing the possessor of a master mind, especially when one knows in his heart that he is Just four-flushing, and Uy- ing in dread of being called.”—-Detrolt News. Australia Growing More Cotton, Cotton growing is rapidly increas- ing in favor in Australia where the federal and New South Wales govern- ments have agreed to guarantee a min- imum price to growers for the forth- | coming season and generally do their utmost to encourage the industry. Special attention will be given to as- suring a ready market for cotton when produced. Many dairy farmers in a large area near the northern end of the coast of New South Wales pro- pose to abandon dairying for cotton, their slogan being “Cotton before cows every time.” Hxperts affirm that the soll is highly suitable.

Dryness of Lake Tulare. There was a time when Lake Tulare boasted ducks by the millions. It was | in the days when the lake used to stay | put and did not expand and shrink like a stock market. The lake is now a number of leagues away from the levees and entirely surrounded by wet land. The duck takes to the small white spot which is all that is left of the famous Lake Tulare in spite of the | geographers.—Hanford (Cal.) Sentinel. Too Mucn ror Lady Officer. Last year they had a lady traffic officer in an eastern city and she was good, too.
