order as to placing chicken wire.
McQueen still nervou from his nar-
rew eacape resolved when bo got b?ck
to town to buy and ship all tbe avail-
able live poultry so ln might breathe
la peaoe. Vantlne and Chester went
batk aboutlng pralsea of their chick-
M dinner and their breakfast omelets.
Then tbe rush began. 80 many friends
wanted to drop over to Michigan with
McQueen that it looked ns though bo
would have to Issue checks.
' "Frrth eggs nnd real homo-grown
cbtckens sounds good to ur" they
would say plalnttTely.
MoQueen neglected bla btislnenii

i "What!" ther would exclaim. "No
ftoh no bacon for us. Wa came over

Wend chicken! No aleak thank you."
So the McQueen squandered un-
told gold on tbe grocery boy and scour.
ad tbe countryside for eggs. All of
. McQueen's week-ends resolved them
selves Into nightmares of showing do
termlned guests about bis chicken
yard. Ha never got time to go any.
where else. All of Mrs. McQueen's
midweek were devoted to bunting up
a fresh supply of eggs and chickens
to feed to tbe week-end crowd. Sba
couldn't have any of tbelr own chick-
' one killed because they were supposed
' to lay eggs.
By fall McQueen bad bought ton dif-
ferent kinds of food warranted to

had Invested In six different brands

The death of Prof. Alexander Afraa-
slr. last spring railed to mind ninny of
the Incidents connected with the life
of his famous father. Tbe caia of

would be useless to lecturo In America !
In either French or Ccrmaii. as bct'a j
languages were used In narrow limits.
He must speak good English If ho was
to inako a gnol Impression.
During the long Journey across the
Atlantic In lSlij Agasslz went to work
In earnest to master the new lan-
guage. Ho spent most of bin time
speaking and committing to memory
words and sentences and repealing
them aloud to anyone who had the
patleneo to hear. Tho captain re-
