One of the most original was Sam Nouse, a brewery cooper who saved enough from his wages to take a public house near Wardour Street, Soho. ile renamed it In- trepld Fox, or Cap of Liberty, in honour of the eighteenth -century politician, Charles James rex. To curry support for Fox be sold his beer at 3d, a pot, gave entertainments, and is said to have spent £500 on One election, Tubby, bald, he seldom wore a coat, only a black waistcoat with sleeves, and could never talk without swearing. He once laid a wager with a young man to race him along the Oxford road, and would pro- bably have won it but for a trick played on him by a friend of his Opponent who shouted as he passed: "Down with Fox and all his friends, say II" Sam at once stopped and gave the man so severe a drubbing that he roared out, "I was only joking." Re- torted Sam, "I am only joking, too, Take that, and that, and learn to time your jokes bete ter!" He also wagered to leap off Westminster Bridge into the Thames, against any Newfound- land dog anyone would care to bring, Watched by a crowd, he undressed, jumped off the para- pet of the central arch, and swam eafeiye ashore. A drinking crony of his, a Mr. Thomas, had a coffin made for himself and used it as a corner eupboard, kept well stored with rum and brandy to be drunk at his death. Sam decided to have a coffin, too, and engaged two inen to make him a wicker one. , As they were living at his ex- pense they spun out the job so long that Sam lost patience, ane one day when he found them drinking as usual, burst in on them with, "Get out of my house, you rascals!" dragged the un- finished coffin from under the bed, smashed it into pieces and threw them on the fire. When he died in '1785, he was such a celebrity that crowds thronged to view the funeral cortege and lined the streets and lanes between Wardour Street and St. Paul's, Covent Garden. .els a last sentimental tribute to him, friends hired. a drunken watchman at St, Ann's, Soho, to dress like him and impersonate him in the funeral procession.

She bought a man's outfit, adopted the name James flow and the couple took a public house at Limehouse, which they ran for many years. They then purchased the White Horse, Poplar, and later several other houses. When they had been together about eighteen years, respected by everyone as a model, in- dustrious couple, a woman who had known Mary in her youth and recognized the supposed "James How" began blackmail- ing her, under threat of ex- posure„ and continued to do so at intervals through the years. After the couple had lived to- gether for thirty-four years the "wife" died. The blackmailer thereupon decided to step up her demands, with the assistance of two men confederates who posed as police officers. Inquiring for "Mr. How" at the White Horse, they told her they had corse from Justice Fielding to arrest her for a robbery committed thirty years earlier,' and knew she was a woman. ' Knowing herself innocent of the charge, but dreading expo- sure, she called in a pawnbroker friend, a Mr. Williams, admitted that she was a woman, but inno- cent of the crime, and asked him to help her. The blackmailers were arrest- ed and •brought before the jus- tices sitting at the Angel, White- chapel. After the disclosure 02 her true sex she sold her public house properties and retired to another part of Poplar to live on her share of the 0,000 to £4,000 which the couple had amassed. The rest she paid to the "wife's" relatives, When she died, aged sixty-four in 1781, she left 510 a year to the poor of Poplar, 450 to a gar- dener, her gold watch to a Pop- lar distiller, and the remainder of her fortune to a friend in the country and a young woman ser- vant who lived with her during her retirement.

Lewter chooses pros- pective showing steers for both good physical characteristics, and bloodlines that have prov- ed good performers. He likes a middle-of-the.road kind that will weigh 900 to 1,000 pounds by show time. He tries to get calvee only a few weeks old, never more than 400 pounds. Where the calf goes is highly important. Before a Howard County 4-H member gets a calf, Lewter sees to it that the young- ster has a good chicken -proof shed and pen, and adequate troughs, He likes their facilities to be separate from those of their Dads. "The first month can deter- mine the destiny of a calf," Lew - ter declares. "Both boys and calves must get adjusted. The Agent has to watch carefully during this period, I visit each boy every few days, especially new boys." He sees that the boys start teaching their steers to stand with h a 1 ter immediately., Second step is training to lead. Too many youngsters never hal- ter a calf until a month before show time. Dehorning and castrating wait until the calves are well started, usually up to the 300 -pound mark, Lewter dehorns all Howard 4-H calves himself, usitlg a hawk -billed knife, sham ing the head to give a "dolly" appearance. He castrates with burdizzo pinchers, never a knife, He finds that the pinchers give the steer a few more weeks of mas- culine development, and do not draw him as much ds the knife. He cheeks each calf the day after dehorning. At any worri- some sign he gives it 3 to 6 cc. 0f penicillin, * 8 1 He starts calves on oats for growth. Oats do not tend to "HOT" HANDS FOR ATOM AGE -Remote -control "hands" mani- pulate a piece of radioactive material which is to be ma- chined, at the National Reactor Testing Station, Many types of machining operations are performed in this "hot cell," con- trolled by operators who view progress of the work through periscopes and system of mirrors, to avoid coming in contact with deadly radiation. scour, and they "give a good middle," First change is addi- tion of corn. Lewter may start at only 5% corn, and work up to 10% in about 10 days. He likes his steers to gain 100 pounds a month. They don't al- ways, but that's the goal. Ile starts most calves in March and April, and adds 300 pounds through summer, instead of waiting until September to push the calves, as many feeders do. He watches the calves' drop- pings, to be sure that grain is being utilized. After the steer is well under way rations usually run up to 60% crimped oats, up to 40% corn, Cotton- seed pellets are from nothing to a maximum of 15%. bran 0 to 20%, barley 0 to 15%. Oats are always the base. As a calf becomes able to take more corn, Lewter adds it to get the right amount of finish, Corn adds fat. Bran is for quality of finish not too hard or roily, not too soft, Along with these feeds he gives all the good prairie bay the steer wants, especially at the start. Lewter always uses nurse cows for good calves. Occasion- ally he weans a calf if it gets too soft. But he never takes the cows to shows any more. Show time is weaning time. Rations to the cow are highly important. Maize and hegari or red -top cane bundle feed are the base. Lewter adds cottonseed meal, plus a little bran or sweet feed for palatability. "Don't ever slack up on clean- ing and brushing, or cleaning of pens. It's especially important the last couple of months. Wet the steer's hail and curl it morning and night 60 days be- fore show. The hair is some- times the difference between winning and losing," NO A man who had been out on a spree was dreamily contetnplat- ing a tot of whisky when he looked up and saw his wife watching him. Being in a jovial mood he offered her a sip. She took one, spluttered, and exclaimed: "However can you drink that horrible stuff? "There," said the husband, "and all the time you thought 1 was out enjoying myself." How an 1 ? Q. How can I melee a remedy for dandruff? A. Rub pure olive oil thor- oughly into the scalp every night before retiring. Also shampoo the hair every two weeks, and rinse well in cold water. Q. How can I fill small cracks in furniture? A. Beeswax can be used to advantage in filling these cracks. It should, of course, be melted to the required consistency for the work, Q. How can I prevent rusty water coming from the not water tank? A. If the water is rusty in color it is a sure indication that there is an accumulation of rust in the tank, which should be drained and flushed without de- lay. NDAY X001. LESSON ay ltev. at. tharcta7 Ii'IUrena, S.A. B.O. GRROWING IN CHRISTIAN LOVE Matthew 8:43-48 1 John 4:11-11SI. Memory Selection: Above all these things put on charity, whiole ie t h e bond of perfectness. Colossians 3:14. In our Sunday School lessons the theme of Christian love keeps recurring. This is quite natural tor the Bible is particularly the story of God's love for man. God is love and when we receive Him we share His love for our fellow- men. It is with respect to thin love that we are to be perfect as our Father in heaven is per- fect. He causes His spm to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. So we should love not .,nly those who love us but also our enemies. This is perfect love. More is said of this perfect love in the second passage. "There is no fear in love;• but perfect lova casteth out fear; because f e e r hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love," How many are experiencing today that fear h a t 11 torment. There are fears of ill health, of social insecurity, family disharmony, etc, These fears tend to produce the conditions they dread. They tend to undermine the health, thus reducing capacity to earn. The fears lead to suspicions which mar the happiness of the home. God is love. There is no better definition of God. The world needs God because it needs love. We have seen this love in Jesus Christ, When we surrender our lives to Hine then we love Him because He first loved us. Then it is natural to love one another because God dwells in us and His love is perfected in us. Love is the bond of perfect nes:.
