They were: Smith as tackle, Teeter as guard, and McGill as quarterback. We usually think of roosters as proverbial fighters and of hens as decidedly lacking In spirit.

On occasion, however, the liens can be as brave as the bravest I once witnessed, writes a subscriber, an exhibition of courage on the part of a ben that deserves to be recorded. -She was a white topknot of eccentric disposition, which is one way of saying that she preferred to select her own nests. She chose the spare-room bed for that purpose, and had accumulated four eggs before she was discovered and ignominiously shooed out of the window. Highly indignant, she disappeared under the barn, whence she emerged several weeks later with eleven chicks. Beyond Introducing the eleven Into the kitchen one duy when the door had inadvertently been left open.

Madam White displayed no more eccentricity than any other hen. But one day there arose a mighty uproar in the back yard. Such a cackling, squawking and peeping surely portended dire calamity. We rushed to the door just in time to see a hawk getting the surprise of his life. lie had evidently swooped down for one of the chickens, and Mudam White, with beak and claws and wings, was giving him a drubbing that threatened permanently to disable him.

Suddenly a dark shape swept down to the ground, there was a piercing Literary will be held at 3:45 p. m. instead of in the evening as long as the coal famine lasts. Tuesday evening of last week Canton Lodge No. 197 held their annual election.

Late in the evening a bevy of young people came in for merrymaking and congratulations. Mrs. Wentworth had moved Into a new apartment on Lowell avenue. It was In fashionable part of the city. The apartment was up to date, with all modern Improvements and yet.

what was there about it that did not suit Mrs. Wentworth's artistic taste? "I'm going to have some changes here," she said to her neighbor in the suite below. "But you don't know Mr. Bunker," retorted the other. "You won't get a thing done, I promise you that none of us cau.

I've been trying myself for the past five years have him do a few little things for me and haven't got a thing yet. He's the most stingy man I know of won't put out a cent if he can possibly help it." "Well, we'll see," Mrs. Wentworth replied with her usual hopefulness. Mr. Bunker was the landlord, owner of a large automobile factory.

Mrs. Wentworth thought she did know a little about him for she had, been so frightened by Ills looks when she went to engage the apartment that she had hardly dared speak aloud though she was usually afraid of nothing. Yet this brave little woman was not daunted by her neighbor's report. She knew just what she wanted. She wanted to iniike'' the house what It ought to be and she meant to have It.

Very sweetly and humbly Mrs. Wentworth sought Mr. Bunker: "Perhaps you haven't noticed Mr. Bunker." he began with one of her most fas-limiting smiles, "but the paper is falling off from the living room walls. It must have rained in sometime; and the ceiling Is stained and cracked.

Don't you really think something ought to be done?" "Why, yes, yes! Surely!" assented Mr. Bunker hurriedly. "It must be put In order, of course. I meant to have It done before. I'll send a man round to see about it at once.

Pick out the paper you want." Overjoyed, Mrs. Wentworth picked out the prettiest paper she could find and the most expensive. When Mr. Bunker came around to Mrs. Fitzsimmons has been called to Pratt by the death of a relative.

Mr. and Mrs. Forsberg will be at home in the near future on the farm two miles south of Roxbury. They enjoy flattering prospects for success and happiness. The whole com- COUNTY Y.

Quick as thought, I she flew to the rescue. Up into the air went the hawk, and wlth.it weut Madam White.

The hawk tried its best to shake her off, but the hen hung on, fighting desperately, until the hawk was forced to drop the chicken and beat a retreat. Madam White came to earth with a thud and a flop, gnthered her flock about her, and retired to the shelter of the currant bushes, where she tnlk-ed about the occurrence In gutturals for some time.

It was patented that same year by Jean Benoit Mallat, an englaeer, and the firm that still enr-rlen on the business founded by him asserts that this was the first fountain pen ever made. I Mallat was the inventor of the gold pen with the ruby point, perhaps the easiest writing and most durable nib ever put on the market.

But it is necessarily expensive. In 1843 Mallat substituted Iridium as a point for his pens. At the same time he provided a reservoir for the Ink. This was the germ from which grew the idea of storing Ink in the handle. i Mnllat's fountain pen differs only slightly from our modern ones.

It was self-filling, but the flow of Ink was regulated by a little turn-screw on the side. This, however, was soon given up, as it became clogged. It would be interesting to know what was the date of the earliest patent on a fountain pen In America and Ralph Ware was on the sick list the first of the week. vival meetings during the stormy weather shows that people are interested in the vital and convincing message which Evangelist Young has been giving every night. While the weather has been cold the message has been warm and those who come feel the appeal that a straight clear cut message from God's book always elicits.

Jesus said Heaven and earth shull pass away but my words shall not pass away, and so through the centuries God's messengers have been able always to get a hearing when they have been faithful to the word. If you have been careless with the things of the Spirit now would be a splendid time to start along that line. Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation, Dr. E. L.
