"Don't •he feel so now?" inquired Deacon Hyne. "What's happened to make him feel any diff'rent?" "A ion,g-tried pwb•lic riz gulp," Caleb replied' comfortably, 'and •p'iteted out to him certain (flaws in his own con- duct, past and recent; and it 'kind of. give him somethin' to ponder •over and compare with, so to say. "Silas has felt so righteous, I s'.pose he'd .call it," Caleb went on, "and took so touch s'atisfac'tion out of feelin' superior to most everybody else 'that 'I 'presume more'n likely the never realized 'what a pest he is with his •criticimin', nor how tired folks git of it -I mean folks that had sense 'nough to (know they're no more'n human themselves and snake mistakes they'd fall as soon 'have forgotten.

"'Wal, yes,' ,Jed says, 'I s'pose a man tiltat'd ;pile wet sawdust agin a ibuuldin' like that ,ain't got much jedg-- ment; he'd be like likely to do even 'wuss'n that if he didn't watch 'him= self, He might be witless 'Hough to hitch a cow out in a field and f'git her sometime and leave her out all night in a cold rain and Lose her from it.

"B'fore Bowles had aChance to speak or even to get the 'full redness in his face I thought of somethin', I says, `he'd even 'git foolish 'nottgh to git 'his (beans into the (barn and pile 'em on one side and then go to work and shingle the other, so 'the side where there wa'n't anything .didn't leak, and let his beans git wet and sprout. M.ebbe he'd do that, but I don't put ,him down to be so footfsh: 'Then Bill Graffam piped 'up: 'What was the name of that man who wouldn't sell his p'taters here in town for a dollar a bushel and went and hauled 'em clear into the city and then only got a dollar for 'em?' "By that time iBowles's face had got so red that he didn't dare to trust himself to speak; and he started to gather tsp his Ibonddes, which he'd shifted to the bench when he 'begun to read his lecture, But, bein' so mad at the things we was 'bringin' up, 'he trembled so he couldn't stow 'em good, and they kep' 1ailin'.

SILK STOCKINGS COMPARA- TIVELY NEW DEPARTURE Research showe that in MO only ane of every 2,000 women on this con- tinent wore silk hose. They paid from $5 to $22'3 a pair for them, (IN° won- der so many didn't wear them.) To- day manufacturers report that most women in the United States and Ca- nada buy approximately 20 pairs of - silk stockings annually, paying from 54) cents to $1.95 a pair for them. This includes you who are reading this curled up comfortably on the chester- field! Then again, in the early +19fl.0's, it was fashionable to wear a stocking made up of silk to the knee. From the knee to the garter line. cotton was used, but statistics do not show whe- ther this was by reason of the manu- facturers trying to be fair to both the silk worm and the boll weevil. The heavier the silk, the more expensive the stocking. Today, it is exactly the reverse, we are told. Sheerness is indi- cative ,of quality. In .colonial times, did you know the well-dressed woman decorated her knitted silk 'hosiery with fresh roses every. day , . . 'hosiery made from the skin of unborn calves was very popular in France during the reign of Coo -is XIV'I. In Sumatra, the women always remove their stockings at meal times, but sleep with then on. You'd almost think they ate with their feet. Superstitious maidens of Scotland 'believe that 'placing a yellow knitted stocking under the pillow on which they sleep helps them to find a hus- band, Now you know what to do. lbuth (by the sea) -"You 'little thought a week ago that you'd be sittirg on a lonely seashore with a man then unknown' to yott." ieta'iden-+'°Oh, yes, T .did," Youth -°'.But, dear, you didn't know me then!"

FLORIDA CRACKER I had promised our maid, a ,cracker girl named Leeth'a Paget, that 'on my trip .across Florida I would stop at a village called C'hobee and tell her un- 'cle that she was well .and would !be home for a visit soon.

To my inquiry for directions he replied, with' the spir- ited •distnust he felt on seeing I was a Northerner, "Ain't •goin' t'tell y'uh." On recovering from this frank dec- laration, I applied the attitude 3 had found most effective for this 'behavior, I told hitt that was no way to act; how would he like it if I said such a thing to him up where I came •from?

For instance its North- ern Ontario, where it is not yet con- sidered advisable to sow this crop alone, the addition of a 'few pounds per sore of alfalfa to the usual hay mixture, has been found very worth- while. heavy ,precipitation throughout the flue -cured tobacco districts, together with high temperature during the first three weeks of August, promoted very rapid growth of the tobacco crop.
