Greater Home Comforts
Only two and one-half per cent of
the 400 farmers yisitecf: int ecnuection
with the Agricultural Survey of the
Commission of Conservation in 1910
had the complete service of water on
tap, bath and toilet in-' their houses.
Five per cent had automobiles ; 38
per cent had Pianos, 32 per cent had
organs, and 22 per cent had gasoline
engines on the farm. While it is well
that 70 per cent possess sufficient
musical interest to have either a Pi-
ano or organ in the Neese, it is re -
iggettablei indeed that only 30 qct of 40
had water service and Italic.

would be used 505 days in the year,
can lie installed on the average farm

Miss Imogene Danforth, believing
fa the equality between. women nod
men, was one day expressing her opin-
ions to her cousin, Jack Fearlug.
"Tull" he said. "That's all well
enough for women who can't get hus-
bands, It's no use for those who can."
"Do you mean to assert that 1 can't
tWIget a, husband?" she demanded, brie -
g,
"Not at all, being well aware that I
have proposed to you six times."
"And I have as many times told you
that Woman must cicoose between M.
'4ependence and marriage, I choose In-
dependence. I have leased an island
on the New England coast, Which I
propose to colonize with girls cuf stron
ehau'acter, There I shell prepare then)
for the propaganda for' woman's rights
and send them forth to teeth their
sisters:. •
"I presume you will pick out the
homeliest girls you can dud."
Imogene was rallied. She declared
that in order to show him that the
cause of woman's 'rights Was not lim-
ited to the support of Unattractive wo•
men- she would select comely girls.
Jack, the scamp, iu this, way intro•
duced the cankerworm that vias to eat
into her apple.
Imogene located her colony en the
1st of June with twelve girls, all fair
to look upon. Silo did not organize her
school for those who bad been con-
verted to the cause. She expected to
trait them to that end. There was a
house on the island large enough to
contain theca all, so no great prepare_
lion was needed. No man being al•
lowed on the island, the servants were
women.
One moruirtg soon after t'heir,aeriral
Imogene convened her flock in it wood
near the water and, arranging them
in a semicircle, proceeded to lay down
the causes that had rendered woman
subordinate to man. She opened with
Woman's primeval condition Its n servi-
tor to tigbtlog manand was proceed-
ing to trace her career in eastern na-
tions when she pansed ' and looked
down on a patch of water revealed be-
tween the trees, A yacht that had
been luffed up into the wind was mov-
ing slowly toward the landing near by.
The girls, turning, saw the yacht and
a dozen young fellows, not counting
Tack Fearing, the owner, on her deck,
each man made more lcaudsotne by a
becoming yachting costume.
Imogene frowned; the girls looked
pleased. But it must be remembered
that they were novices and had not
yet been trained to consider nittu their
enemy. The fellows secured the yacht
to the landing and acivaanced to the
lecturer and her class, each man with
cap in his band and all iresembling
rather slaves to the women than wo-
men's masters.
"We have come," .said Fearing, "uot
to interfere with your course of in-
struction, but to invite you to take a
cruise with us when the present lec-
ture is concluded,"
"Thank you for your invitation," re.
piled Imogene, "but it is declined. may
I beg that you will depart?"
"Most asspredly, since you wish it,"
replied. Fearing. "Your commands
shall be obeyed."
He led his men back to the lauding.
They ' all got aboard, unloosed the
painter and, raising a jib, withdrew
for a few hundred yards from the
shore, where they dropped anchor.
"How obedient!"
"What handsome fellowsl"
"Surely, plies Danforth, these young
men seem really to serve us instead of
to oppress us."
These were some of the remarks
made by the young ladies. Imogene
disdained to reply. Instead she re -
slimed hes.leetur'e. _.But elem mighfh as
well bac o lecliii'i (1 f(5"ffile Tebhli;"- o " it
was'ovideut that the girls' minds were
on the yacht, and under the cireum-
stances man's tyranny did not Interest
them, Seeing this, Imogene brought
her discourse to a close and, looking
downon
the anchored vessel herself,
wondered What the men meant by re -
mining Where they were.
"I think," srlid'onceyouug lady, "that
they're showing their Obedience,"
"Nonsense;" exelnimed Imogene.
"Perhaiis," said a little miss with a
soft voice, "they're going

"You've, hit the nail on the head, Su-
sie," sslel Imogene.
There are just as many of them is
there ace of us," remarked another
young lady. "If we Were to pair off
there would be a fellow for each girl,"
"Gwendolen!"
said Imogene sternly.

"If you and ethe the others harbor such
thoughts our school will be broken
ribs,,
."How lobs, Silas Ieoegene," asked
Susie, "wiii.we have to Withstand the.
watchful waiting?"
"I don't know. Why do you ask?"
"Because," was the meek. reply, "len
afraid I can't stand it very long,"
"Girls," said irnogeuc, "in order to
help you to get your minds off this con-
temptible effort to break up our school
I will call' your attention to the im-
possibility of our going on a cruise.
Is there one among you who would
do an improper net?" '
No; cried every gill at onee.
"Very well. We could' not vu with
them without a chaperon, and we
haven't a chaperon."
Great Scheme.
"What do you (lo" asked the one
who had been married only a few
mouths, "when your husband comes
home late at night?"

Stories of "Old Q."
The "wickedness" of "Old Q." (the
Marquis of Queensberry) has passed
into a proverb, but two tales of hie
other traits may be quoted from Mrs.
Jerrold's "The Beats and the Dan-
dies," One Is that he "paid a doctor to
keep him Well, deducting fees when be
was ill, and thus when he tiled left his
physician his creditor for 110,000," and
the other that "there was a popular
prejudice against drinking milk in Lon-
don at this time because it was believ-
ed that the duke bathed each morning
In milk, which was suiisequeutly Sold

"Queer, isn't lt, what difference uu-
important little things in themselves

"Like What, for instance?"
"Like, stripes on men's clothes. It
