The founts should be filled two or three times daily during warm wealb er, for the sunlight destroys the life of the fluid, and If left long enough In such condition It Is positively harmful to the birds drinking from it. All water should be placed In shade. If no trees or sheds are available, one can be made by nailing three sides of a box together, then adding a top to It Such a contrivance should be high enough to allow the birds to drink freely when the fount Is under the box. Don't forget that moldy grain, mildewed bread, smutty corn, mildewed bay, for litter, sunburned or rotten potatoes, fermented mashes and pumpkin seeds are dangerous to the health of the flock.

Its melting sweetness lends Itself to any number of dainty desserts, although It Is at Its best, as are most of the tempting fruits, when It Is served au naturel." For the winter table there la nothing better liked than a Jar of Brandy Peachct Without Brandy. This Is an old fashioned recipe which has been tried and proven many times. Fill mason Jars with carefully selected, perfectly ripe pouches which have been peeled, but not stoned. Fill the spaces with granulated sugar, shaking down well and putting Id as much as possible. Seal ns usual and bury In a bole In the ground dug three feet deep to below the frost. Line the hole with liny or straw and cover the Jars with It, then the dirt.

Aa he arose to leave she thanked him and aa he looked into her eyes he had his rew'ard. The eyes said more than her words. They seemed to speak of a gratitude out of proportion to the email tip. Thank you,? said the girl again and Nut thought she was near to tears. After that he took to going without dessert that he might leave Its cost for the girl. While he ate he watched her. She was as neat, perhaps neater than the others, he decided, and yet In her very neatness there was a story of a struggle to make ends meet lie could see thnt she hnd dyed her waist herself and In her belt nnd tie there were firmly pressed evidences of needlework that had all but concealed the ravages of time and mnny washShe never told him she was ings. Her slim figure, appealing eyes, fmor. her very presence did that She was the sort, he told himself, who could hide holes with Ink spots, cover spots with a flower or apron, and never know when she was beaten. "She Is a brave little kid. said Nat Wlnan, feeling suddenly his strength and Independence as a mnn, "nnd I wish I could do something to help her." He wondered how large L?r pay check was, whether she had some one to support and tried to read the story In the face that dally seemed more tragic nnd wistful. After a while Nat discovered others were leaving tips for Irene. To some he confided his theory thnt she was using every cent for the care of an nged mother and was surprised to learn they had long held the samq belief. Meals at the Red Front restaurant became more than a formality. Nat felt that In leaving Ms dally tip and calling the attention of others to the wordless appeal of the. waitress he was taking part In a philanthropic enterprise. lie even felt as a father or Mg brother to the girl and discovered that her face, particularly her eyes, persisted In Ms thoughts. At such times he would smile and say, that, according to tradition. It should be a rich man and not he who should fall In love with the waitress and rescue her from her poverty and hard work. One evening as the young man walked the streets In the neighborhood of Ms home he tried to analyze his feelings for Irene, sought to discover If the pity be felt for the young woman was love. With the problem on h!s mind he stepped from the curb. There came an agonized squeal of brakes, an angry, frightened shout, an automobile struck him and he went down. Nat knew his shoulder was hurting, that he had been shoved along In the dirt lie could hear people running up. ne was the center of anch a crowd as he has seen around other injured men and he wanted to tell them to go away. Then he saw a woman, a beautiful woman In an eve nlng dress. Her face was white and frightened and she leaned over. "You stepped right' In front," she sold. "I couldn't help hitting you." The crowd seemed to disappear. Not could see nothing but the face of the girl who,e automobile had bowled him over. They were lifting him to bis feet row. Perhaps he wasn't so badly hurt. "Take this, said the girl ; 'its for a new suit nnd maybe for a doctor." Mechanically he closed his hand on I he roll of hills. It was all too bewildering. This girl of the fine dress, I he automobile and the money, was Irene of the restaurant, Irene who looked appealing nnd made It pay. i POST TOASTIES corn flakes Flaked hearts of corn toasted . t and full of flavor double-cris- p Post Toasties are the kind of corn flakes that make breakfast a real event.

POSTUM INC., BATTLE COMPANY, Wanted More Than His Fair Share of Wives Abbe Domenecb, the French priest who labored In Texas In the early port of the Nineteenth century, left an Interesting record of his work In a book, now out of print, that was published In London In 1833. One amusing incident he recorded concerned a Fresbyterlnn minister at Rrownsville, who bestirred himself to dispose of his three marriageable daughters. The minister, noting that no one sought the hands of his daughters, preached a sermon on the subject of marriage, amplifying the text In Genesis, "Increase and Multiply." lie spoke with eloquence and warmth on the bliss of the hymeneal state and ended by offering his three daughters, with $3,000 of fortune for ench, to whomsoever would espouse them, ne added that he would receive the names of the candidates after service. A wag in the congregation did not wait for the time prescribed by the minister, but shouted from his pew: "Put my nnme on the list for two." Kansas City Star.
