It is doubtful if this unthinking young man has an appreciation of how unsatisfactory his dissatisfied efforts may be in a working organization. Accordingly as he is dissatisfied that dissatisfaction must find outward expression among hia fellows. He could not conceal tlie fact if he tried. Facial expression, eye, ear, voice and movement every hour in the reflects it in spite of day are indicative of his dissatisfaction. His work himself.

It may be true that the housewife who systematizes her work finds ample, time to improve her mind, always providing that 6he has only hcxself and her husband for whom to keep house. But most of us do not remain long in this ideal state. Children come, and even one child is a sad blow to system.

Let us say nothing of our broken nights rest, nor of the upsets that childish illnesses occasion, when even the dishwashing gets left to the man of the family while we turn in to get a few hours sleep. The housework doesnt get done then, and it takes time to catch up again. But even the ordinary, everyday work where there are two or three small children cooking and washing, baking and mending, making perhaps all of the small garments and taking a delight in doing it even this will An hardly give us our afternoons free.

POULTRY RAISED I have had a quarrel with my fiance. I am sure he was in the wrong, but I think ORCHARD VelTcoml u I it Is a mistake to have a large pei centage of that fleece consist of ol. a product that Is entirely worthless to the manufacturer. Do not misunderstand me. It Is highly Important to have a reasonable amount of oil In the fleece in order to secure the strongest and best ber, but do not overdo the matter With care we can Just as well double the quantity of wool per fleeco without destroying the value of the fiber or without diminishing the amount of oil to a point iliut wll weaken the fiber. high- A portion of our breeders, striving d to produce an extra fine fiber of wool without the use of wrinkles, succeeded fairly well for with their own flocks so many years. It la a well established fact that the merino will not Improve under strictly close Inbreeding. The greatest Improvement has been made by properly mating animals from flocks not closely related. The production of extremely heavy fleeces has been at the sacrifice of the carcass. The typical mutton forma have pleasure it is to go shopping with a child of two or three and see how successful she will be. For my part, without children I would prefer the business world, but I have made my choice and I am not sorry for it I work a good deal harder than when my hours were nine to five, with a short day Saturday and Sunday free, but there are compensations that the childless housewife lacks. I regret I have little time to improve my mind what time I take for reading I often begrudge. Things will be better by and by, and meanwhile let me find pleasure in my babies. Here and now we have them and nothing else not even the systematizing of our housework is so important. he wants to make up, but is too proud to say so. Do you advise me to say the first word? So rtfns the wail of a very forlorn young woman. Certainly, I advise her tc speak the first word, and 1 say the same thing to every young woman similarly situated. So long as two people lore each other, it doesnt matter in the least which is the first to make up. Generally it is the supe-- 1 person who makes the first advance. And there is comfort for twenty apologies in being the superior person. Men are a good deal like children in the matter of misbehavior. They to bo coddled into .dmitting they were imho wrong And the wrong or right of a quarrel doesn t matter when two people are willing to forget it moke the first advances.

Just A graduate of Washington and Lea was telling a story of one of the professors of the famous Virginia Institution. This particular pedagogue was known as close and crusty, and cons qucntly he did not stand see high with the students. One of the features of college life, of course, was seeing that the freshmen did not pine because of monotony. Occasionally the sprouts they were subjected to took the form of bogus invitations to dine with members of the faculty. A member of tbs baby class who didn't know much about the professors received such a of the note from the prixe tlght-wa- d faculty, and accepted It in good faith, says the Louisville Courier-Journa- l. He turned up at the learned mans home in due aeason and rang the bell. Well, what la it? growled the professor as he opened the portal about s of an Inch. Please, sir, Ive come to supper, said the somewhat abashed freshman. The professor gazed at him a moment In astonishment and then opened the door to allow the unexpected guest to enter. If youve come to supper, come on In, he said. The freshman related that mush and milk composed the menu, and that the sole conversation between him and the unwilling host, who he discovered toward the close of the festivities had not Invited him, was the teacher's announcement that he retired early and his acquiscence and consequent departure. three-elRhth- No Redress from Uncle Sam.
