Besides, I didn't fall. I was shoved. And, as far as that's concerned, what I pulled wasnt any rougher than what the other Boys were doing while under the Influence of the Salt Air. So my Conscience Isn't troubling me much. "As nearly as I can recall them, having no copy at hand, there are several of the Ten Commandments that I have not shattered.

When In need of a stallion, the association may send a committee sec of Its members to stal a not buy only where they tlons, Hon at a fair price, but see good breedknow the ing establishments, learn to horse-breedin- g - e ai - i rij better breeders, and make contacts with prospective buyers. The cost of a stallion under the breeding association plan is usually about half the cost In a horse company. Repellent Washes That Cause Injury to Trees Soul. repellent washes, such as soap whitewash, diluted suds, coal tar, gas tar, axle grease, paint, various oils, and other sub stances, are often recommended as washes or paints for fruit trees to prevent Injury by rabbits and field mice. During mild winters all of these If materials may work very well. snow has been on the ground, however, for a week or more and rabbits and mice need food badly, serious may be done to the trees where washes of the above substances have been applied. Such substances as paint, coal tar, gas tar, axle grease, concentrated oils, and combinations of such materials may. do serious Injury to- the .tree trunks and even cause the trees to die. To he on the safe side, the grower should not use such substances, as there are others which may be used with as good results without danger ' of. harm.. If repellent or poisonous wash 4s desired, use whitewash, soap suds, or 'dormant strength and add lead arsenate at tha pate of about .two, pounds to 60 gallons. These washes may be1 applied with a sprayer, which will facilitate the work. .Greater, concentrations may be made and "the repellents applied by means of an ordinary paint brush. There Is little or no danger of these washes do Ing Injury to tree trunks no matter when or how applied. Exchange.

Credit Wisconsin Man With Ice Cream Sundae According to the Two Rivers (Wisconsin) Reporter, the modern Ice cream sundae was Invented by George Hallauer; of that city. R. C. Berne, retired Two Rivers confectioner, is quot; ed as saying that trimmings on lea cream dishes were not known 40 years ago. Chocolate sirup was used only for flavoring sodas. One night young George Hallauer dropped Into the Bernes Ice cream parlor. He ordered Ice cream and then noticed the chocolate sirup bottle. He asked for some on his Ice cream. "Don't spoil a dish of Ice cream," ' said Mr. Bernes. "Oh, I'll try It," said George, the pioneer. He tried It all right, and liked It, and pretty soon the whole town was asking for Ice cream "with stuff on It." A competitor of Bernes resented the fad that Increased the cost, to the dealer, of an Ice cream portion, so he announced he would only serve the new dish on Sunday. Hence the name. Detroit Free Press. We ourselves are the real word, the life utterance which speech often falsifies. There are faces which never deceive nor mislead us. A spiritual nature can but be frank and honest, because Its foundation stones are laid In the truth, and It knows thot nothing else holds. It Is in us as human beings Instinctively to recognize and hate Insincerity. Nobody Is In the end deceived by expression which Is merely outward and perfunctory. Our Inner life Is transparent; It cannot conceal Itself; If It Is a true life It has no need or desire of concealment. Lucy Larcom. One Enough The word "pianos'' was In the spelling lesson, but when the teacher looked at the papers she found that John had written the singular Instead ' of the plural form. "I gave you 'pianos',' John," complained the teacher. "It was not one; It was more than one." "But. Miss S ," remonstrated John, "there's no use In learning how to spell more than one piano; we'll never have any more than that."
