Those who are troubled with broody
hens may find the suggestion of Ben-
jamin Holland, of Culloden, Ontario, of
interest. He has used this method in
his own flock and finds it gives good re-
sults. He makes a crate about two
feet square of lath, two inches apart,
with a waterproof roof. It is supplied
with tin troughs on each side, one for
water and the other for grain. At one
end is an opening through which the
hens can be taken in and out. This
crate is suspended by wire to a stout
branch of an apple tree. The broody
hens are placed in the crate and allowed
to remain until their inclination to sit
is lost. This trouble may be further
prevented by not allowing the roosters
to run with the hens during the sum-
mer months.

UNCOVERING SITE OF TOWER OF
BABEL.
French and German excavations car-
ried on in Asia have resulted in the
discovery of long -buried cities. Excav-
ations carried on by the French at Baby-
lon have uncovered ruins that go back 2,
100 years before Christ, and it is believed
that the site of the Tower of Babel it-
self has been exposed to view.
Excavations carried on by German
explorers have resulted in the discovery
of an ancient library in which there are
writings on imperishable tablets. One
of these tablets contains an account of
the Deluge, in which there is a striking
similarity to that given in the Old Testa-
ment. The differences which occur in
the two versiona point, says a writer
in Current Opinion, to the fact that
both these versions were taken from a
eclnmon source which back to a still
earlier period.

He Feels For the Man Who Made
a Business Failure.
AND TRIES TO HELP HIM OUT
To the Extent of $55 In Exchange For
a Watch and a Ring --His Eyes Are
Opened, but He Gets "Hunk" ai
Last and Turns In.
By M. QUAD.
(Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary
Press.'
ITII his dressing gown and
slippers on, with a good
cigar in his mouth, with
his toes turned up to a
cheerful Are, with the winter winds
bowling out doors, Mr. Bowser grunt-
ed with contentment and figured it out
that this was a good world and that
he was all right, and that afts. Bowser
was all right, and that everything and
everybody was all right and the goose
hung high. Then there came a ring
at the bell. Mr. Bowser answered it
in person, as he was expecting a neigh-
bor to call, and as he opened the door
be found a rather seedy, middle aged
wan waiting to say to him:
,My dear sir, I want a moment's
conversation with you on a strictly
business affair."
He was admitted in a grudging way
and, bringing a rueful smile to hit
face and speaking in confidential tones
he continued:
"After fifteen years of bard work :
have made a failure in business. ;
could swindle my creditors or go hitt
bankruptcy, but my conscience Wil
not permit me. I wish to pay dolla:
"THIS WATCH COST ME FIFTY DOLLARS."
for dollar. To do so I must sacrifice
everything, even to my wife's jewels,
Here is a diamond ring which I wish
to get rid of and turn the money over
to a heartless creditor who would even
deprive my children of bread. Will
you name a price for it?"
A Hard Luck Tale.
"If It's a straight business failure
you are not required to sell the shirt off
your back," replied Mr. Bowser.
"But It's a matter of conscience, you
see. I said I'd pay 100 cents on the
dollar, and I'll do it if I bave to go
barefoot. Will you show that ring to
your wife?"
Mr. Bowser had been gum gamed two
or three times and was rather suspi-
cious, but he tool: the ring and walked
back to the sitting room.
"Don't buy it at any price," said
Mrs. Bowser as she looked at it. "It's
probably some snide affair, and the
man is no doubt a fraud, who thinks
to take advantage of your innocence."
"Do you mean that the man takes
me for a fool on sight?" exclaimed
Mr. Bowser as he flashed up.
"He may not, but I think he's look-
ing for a soft snap."
"Oh, you do? That's you to a dot -
always suspicious and distrustful and
always bard hearted. I shall buy the
sing."
He is Touched.
Mr. Bowser went back to the man
and found him very reasonable. All
he wanted for his wife's birthday ring
was $40, and that was only one-third
of its cost. It grieved him to part
with it, but what was grief compared
to integrity of character? As the tears
began to appear Mr. Bowser sent him
oft with $90 in his pocket and returned
to Mrs. Bowser to say:
"How you can steel your heart
against the cries of humanity the way
you do is a wonder to me. You'd
doubtless have turned that poor man
away with a stab in the back.
"And saved $40," she curtly replied.
"Do you mean that' this ring is>s't
'Worth fully $100?'.' he blustered.
"I don't believe it's worth $5."
"Woman, do you take me for a fool?"
shouted Mr. Bowser, with furious fine
tures, as be danced around and frigbt-
ened the cat under the piano. "I think
I know a man of integrity when I see
one. I also think I know a diamond
ring from a side of sole Ieather. By
the living jingo, If I had your con-
temptible spirit I'd go hang myself!"
He walked about for a few minutes,
breathing bard and perspiring nnder
the collar, and nothing further was
said on tbe subject. The eat gradually
recovered her courage, the fire blazed
cbeerfully andpeact' had ad retatu>
d to
hover over ail when the hell rang
again. Again Mr, Ilowser went to the
door. It was the man of integrity re-
turned.
"Pray, excuse me." he said as be
crowded urs way Into the hall. "but
yott were so kind to me about the ring

1 have returned to show you this
watch. I had tbought to keep it•from
my creditors, but conscience stings me.
It is u watch that cost me $50, but un -
,ler tbe elrcumstanees"--
"lUr. Bowser. will you step here a
moment?" interrupted Mrs. Bowser,
N.e bud no intention of buying the
watch. Ile meant to get rid of the
man at once. But Mrs. Bowser's inter-
ference nettled him and changed his
plans. Turning to the man, he said:
"The watch Is well worth $50, and I
should be glad to give you that sum to
help you settle with your creditors,
but I have only $15 in my pocket"
"Then I'll take that," sighed the
bmsiness failure, with a quaver In bis
voice. "1 want to settle a claim at
once—tonight—and know that I shall
have at least cold potatoes for break-
fast. It grieves me—but—take it."
The Truth.
Mrs. Bowser called again, but Mr.
Bowser passed over the money, patted
the loan of integrity on the shoulder
and closed the door after him. Then
he returned to the sitting room, placed
the watch and ring on the mantel and
sat down without a word, After a
quarter of an bour of sileuce Mrs.
Bowser went upstairs to keep clear of
any further row, and the expected
neighbor came in. Of course be was
told of the honest business man and
shown the watch and ring. He began
to grin as soon es they were placed in
his hands, and pretty soon be said:
"Look here, Bowser; you have been
played for a sucker!"
"It can't be!"
"But it can be and is. Those dia-
monds are nothing but glass, and that
ring isn't worth $3. Was Mrs. Bow-
ser bere when you bougbt it?"
"What if she was or wasn't?"
"She'd have detected the fraud at
once. The game that fellow worked
on you is as old as the bills. What on
earth made you bite?"
"I—I wanted to belp an honest man.
.1s for the watch"—
"l3a, bit, ba!"
"What in thunder do you mean?" de-
manded Mr. Bowser as his face kept
growing paler.
"I'm laugbing at the cheek of the
mao to come back and swindle you a
second time. Say, now, but you are
dead easy! This watch never cost
him over $3, Bowser, old man, you've
been lambasted for $55 with your eyes
wide open. You'd better let Mrs.
Bowser deal with such chaps after
this."
"But what does she know of such
folks?" protested Mr. Bowser.
"A heap more than you do, I should
say, if you are so easily taken in.
Well, well, 1 wouldn't have believ-
ed it!"
He Gets Even.
As the situation was somewhat em-
barrassing tbe neighbor didn't stay
long. and when he bad taken bis de-
parture Mr. Bowser sat down to chew
the bitter cud. He bad been chewing
for about twenty minutes and wonder-
ing bow he couid get even with Mrs.
Bowser when the bell rang, and he
made his way to the door and opened
it to find the same business failure on
the step again.
"You will excuse me, I know," said
the man, "but I have a diamond pin
I didn't show you. It is a pin my wife
gave me on my fortieth birthday, when
everything was going well with us.
As it is wortb $100, I thought I could
easily get rid of it among your neigh-
bors for $30 or $40, but I find I can't.
Your exceeding kindness to me and
your desire to help me maintain my in-
tegrity lead me to hope"—
"Come in," interrupted Mr. Bowser.
The man entered the hall and opened
a pasteboard box to reveal a diamond
pin reposing on a nest of red cotton.
"You—you have a diamond pin to sell
me?" said Mr. Bowser in a strange,
bard voice.
"Yes; I tbought to keep it from my
creditors, but my conscience won't let
me. It is worth $150; but, owing to
circa mstances"—
Th:n Mr. Bowser jumped on him.
The man of integrity was taken by
surprise and rolled on the floor, but he
soon recovered, and there was a scrap
that upset the hall tree, tickled the cat
half to death and made the dust fly.
It lasted for five minutes, and then Mr.
Bowser got the door open and "lifted"
the man of integrity out into the cold
and cruel world and turned to find
Mrs, Bowser on the stairs.
"Well," she queried as he glared at
her and puffed like an old engine set
going for the fall and winter trade,
"have you gone out of the Jewell>.
business?"
He slowly extended his arm and
shook bis finger at her and tried to
answer back, but his emotions were
too great.
"If you have," She continued as she
turned and began to ascend, "you'd
better lock up and come to bed and
let mo rub you down with witcb ha-
zel!"
