. (Copyright, Dodd, Mead Company.) ' “Tattooing is a gift,” said the nightwatchman firmly. “It 'as to be a gift, as you can well see. A man ’as to know wot ‘e is going to tattoo aw’ ow to do it; there’s no rubbing out or altering. It's a gift, an’ it can’'t be learnt. 1 knew a man once as used to tattoo a cabin-boy all over every v'y'ge trying to learn. ’E was a slow, pains- - taking sort.o’ man, and the langwidge - those boys used to use while 'e was at work would ’ardly be believed, but e 'ad to give up trying arter about fifteen years and take to crochet-work instead. ? p “Some men won’t be tattooed at all, being proud o’ their skins or sich-like, . and for a good many years Ginger ~ Dick, a man I've spoke to you of before, was one o’ that sort. Like many red-'aired men 'e 'ad a very Wwhite skin, which 'e was very proud of, but at last, owing to a unfortnit idea o’ making ’is fortin, e let hisself be done. “It come about in this way: Him ‘and old Sam Small and Peter Russet 'ad been paid off from their ship and was 'aving a very ’appy, pleasant time ashore. They was careful men in a way, and they ’ad taken a room down East India Road way, and paid up the rent for a month. It came cheaper than a lodging-'ouse, besides being a bit more private and respectable, a thing old Sam was always very pertickler about. i “They ’ad been ashore about three weeks when ong.day old Sam and Peter went off alone becos Ginger said ’e ‘wasn’t going with 'em. . ““Where've you been? ses Ginger, when they returned. “ ‘Bisness,” ses Sam. ““We must ’ave another man in it, Peter,” he ses, ‘and, wot’s more, ‘e maust 'ave ginger-colored ’air. That . being so, its only right and proper that our dear old pal Ginger should ’ave the fust offer.” - “It wasn’t often that Sam was so affecksunate, and Ginger couldn’t make it out at all. Ever since ’e’d known ’im “the old man ’'ad been full o’ plans oo’ _making money without earning it., “‘We've been in a litfle pub down Bow way, me an’ Peter,’ ses Sam, ‘and we’ll tell you more about it if you promise to join us an’ go shares.

Seeing we was sailor-men, she told us all about ¢, an’ 'ow she still 'opes for him to ‘walk into 'er arms afore she dies.’ “*‘She dreamt a fortnit ago that ‘e ‘urned up safe and hound, with red swhiskers,” ses Peter. ; “Ginger Dick sat up and looked at ‘em without a word; then ’e got out )’ bed, an’ pushing old Sam out of the way began to dress, and at last ‘e urned round and asked Sam whether ae was drunk or only mad. “*‘All right, ses Sam; ‘if you won't take it on we’ll find somebody as will, that’s all; there’s no call to get huffy about it. You a.n’t the on’y red-edded .man in the world.’ “Ginger coughed and ' looked thoughtful. “‘lt sounds all right, mates’ ’e ses at last, ‘but I don’t see 'ow we're to go to work. I don’t want to get locked up for deceiving.’ ““You can’t get locked up,’ ses Sam; “if you let ’er discover you and claim you, ‘ow can you get locked up for it? We shall go.in an’ see her agin, and larn all there is to larn, especially about the tattoo marks, and then—- - ““Wot? screams Ginger. ‘Tattoo me! Spile my skin with a lot o’ beastly blue marks!

wouldn’t ’ear of it. but at last it was arranged that ’e wasn't to go inside, but should take a peep through the door. They got on a tram at Aldgate, and Ginger didn't like it becos Sam and Peter talked it over between theirselves in whispers and pointed out likely red-'aired men in the road. “And ‘e didn’t like it when they got to the Blue Lion, and Sam and Peter went in and left 'im outside, peeping through the door. The landlady shook 'ands with them quite friendly, and the barmaid, a fine-looking girl, seemed to take a lot o’ notice of Peter. Ginger waited about outside for nearly a couple of hours, and at last they came out, talking and larfing, with Peter wearing a white rose wot the barmaid ’ad given ’im. :

“They all went in somewhere and 'ad a few 'drinks first, though, "and arter a time Ginger began to see things in a different light to wot ’e 'ad before, an’ to be arf ashamed of ’is selfishness, and 'e called Sam’s pot a“’loving-cup, an’ kep’ on drinking out of it to show there was no ill-feeling, although Sam kep’ telling him there wasn’t. Then Sam spoke up about tattooing agin, and Ginger said that

“Losing ’'ls Wot?” Ses Yinger, Turning Pale and Staggering Back.

every man in the country ought to be tattooed to prevent smallpox. He got so excited about.it that old Sam ’ad to promise ’im that he should be tattooed that very night, before he could pacify im.

“Ginger was the last one to wake up in the morning, an’ before ’e woke he kept making a moaning noise. His 'ead felt as though it was going to bust, ’is tongue felt like a brick, and ’is chest was so sore 'e could ’ardly breathe. Then at last 'e opened '’is eyes and looked up and saw Sam an’ Peter and a little man with a black mustache.

“‘Cheer up Ginger,’ ses Sam, in a kind voice, ‘it’s going on beautiful.’ “‘My ’ead’'s splittin’,’ ses Ginger, with a groan, ‘an’ I've got pins an’ needles all over my chest.’. “‘Needles,’ ses the man with the black mustache. ‘I never use pins; they’'d pison the flesh.’ “Ginger sat up in bed and stared at ’im; then ’e bent ’is 'ead down and squinted at ’is chest, and next moment e was out of bed and all three of 'em was holding 'im down on the floor to prevent ’im breaking the tattooer’s neck which ’'e’d set ’is ’eart upon doing, and explaining to ’'im that the tattooer was at the top of! ’is profession; and that it was only by a stroke of luck ’e had got 'im. And Sam reminded ’'im wot ’e ’ad said the night before, and said he'd live to thank 'im forit. . §

“Ginger gave in-at last, and told the man to go on with the job and finish it, and 'e even went so far as to do a little bit o’ tattooing ’imself on Sam when he wasn’t looking. 'E only made one mark, becos the needle broke off, and Sam’ made such a fuss that Ginger said anyone would ha’ thought ’‘e’'d hurt ’im. “’Owever ’e was done at last; his chest and ’is arms and ’is shoulders, and he nearly broke down when Sam borrowed a bit o’ looking-glass and let ’im see higself. Then the tattooer rubbed in soge stuff to make ’is skin soft agin, and some more stuff to make the marks look a bit old. : “They ’'ad a little call over in their room to see 'ow Ginger was to do it, and to discover the weak p’ints. Sam worked up a squeaky voice, and pretended to be the landlady, and Peter pretended to be the good-looking barmaid.

“They went all through it over and over agin, the only unpleasantness be-‘ ing caused by Peter Russet letting off a screech every time Ginger alluded | to ’is chest wot set ’is teeth on edge, and old Sam as the landlady offering Ginger pots o’ beer which made ’is ,‘ mouth water. | ““We shall go round to-morrow for the last time,’ ses Sam, ‘as we told ’er we're sailing the day arter.’ “‘Meantime,” ses Peter Russet, ‘you mustn’t forget that you've got to send us post office money-orders every week.’ : “Ginger said 'e wouldn't forget, and they shook ’ands all round and ’'ad a drink together, and the next arternoon Sam and Peter went to the Blue Lion for a last visit. : “It was quite early when they came back. Ginger was surprised to see ’em, and he said so, but 'e was more surprised when 'e heard their reasons. “‘lt come over us all at once as we’d bin doing wrong,’ Sam ses, retting down with a sigh. . “‘Come over us like a chill, it did,’ ses Peter. 1 . “‘Doing wrong? ses Ginger Dick, staring. ‘Wot are you talking about? *‘Something the landlady ' said showed us as we was doin’ wrong,’ ses old Sam very solemn; ‘it come overusina flash’ - . 1

*Tt ain’t fair play agin a woman,' gays old Sam, ‘three strong men agin one poor old woman; that's wot we. feel, Ginger.” - : & “‘Well, I don’t feel like it ses Ginger; ‘you please yourself, and Tlll please myself. Fae e ; “’E went off in a huff, an’ next morning ’'e was so disagreeable that Sam an’ Peter went. and signed on board a steamer called the Penguin, which was to sail the day arter. They parted had friends all round, and Ginger Dick gave Peter a nasty black eye, and Sam said that when Ginger came to sée things in a proper way agin he’'d be sorry for wot ’e’d said. And ’e said that 'im and Peter never wanted to look on ’is face agin. : “Ginger Dick was a bit lonesome arter they'd gone, but ’e thought it better to let a few days go by afore e went and adopted the red-'aired landlady. He waited a week, and at last, unable to wait any longer, 'e went out and 'ad a shave and smartened hisself up, and went off to the Blue Lion.

“’Glass o’ bitter, ma’am, please,” he ses to the old lady as she came out o' the little parlor at the back o’ the bar. “The old lady drew the beer, and then stood with one ’'and holding the beer-pull and the other on the counter, looking at Ginger Dick in 'is new blue jersey and cloth cap. ° “‘Lovely weather, ma’'am,” ses Ginger, putting his left arm on the counter and showing the sailor-boy 'dancing the hornpipe. - “‘lt’s a ’ard life, the sea,’ ses the old lady. “She kept wiping down the countep in front of 'im over an’ over agin, an’ ’e could see ’er staring at ’is wrists as though she could ’'ardly believe her eyes. Then she went back into the parlor, and Ginger 'eard her whisper ing, and by and by she came out agin with the blue-eyved barmaid.

“‘Have you been at sea long? ses the old lady. “‘Over 23 years, ma’'am,” ses Ginger, avoiding the barmaid’s eye wot was fixed on ’is wrists, ‘and I've been shipwrecked four times; the fust time when I was a little nipper o’ fourteen.’ : .

“‘Pore thing,’ ses the landlady, shaking ’er ’ead. ‘I can feel for you; my boy went to sea at that age, and I've never seen ’'im since. :

“Im sorry to ’ear it, ma’am, ses Ginger, very respectful-like. ‘I suppose I'ge lost my mother, so I can feel for you.’ ;

“‘Suppose you've lost your mother!’ ses the barmaid; ‘don’'t you know whether you have? Pl “‘No,” ses Ginger Dick, very sad. ‘When I was wrecked the fust time I was in a open boat for three weeks, and, wot with the exposure and ’ardly any food, I got brain fever and lost my memory.’

“ ‘Pore thing,’ ses the landlady agin. “‘I might as well be a orfin,” ses Ginger, looking down; ‘sometimes I seem to see a kind, ’'andsome face bending over me, and fancy it’s my mother’s, but I can't remember ’er name, or my name, or anythink about ‘er.’ 2 .

“‘You remind me o’ my boy very much,” ses the landlady, shaking ’er ’ead. e

“Ginger Dick would ha’ liked to ha’ seen 'er a bit more excited, but ‘e ordered another glass o’ bitter from the barmaid, and tried to think ‘oW he was to bring about the ship on his chest and the letters on:’is back. The landlady served a couple o’ men, and by and by she came back and began talking agin. v . “‘ like sailors,” she ses; ‘one thing is, my boy was a sailor; and another thing is, they’ve got such feelin’ 'earts. There was twq of ’em in ’ere the other day, who'd been in ’ere once or twice, and one of ’em was that kind ’earted I thought he would ha’ ’ad a fit at something I told him.’ “‘Ho,’ ses Ginger, pricking up his ears, ‘wot for?” - “‘] was just talking to ’'im about my boy, same as I might be to you, ses the old lady, ‘and I was just telling 'im about the poor child Ilosing 'is finger—’ : “ ‘Losing 'is wot? ses Ginger, turning pale and staggering back. “ ‘Finger,’ ses the landlady. 'E was only ten years old at the time, and I'd sent ’im out to—Wot's the matter? Ain't you well? x “Ginger didn't answer ’er a word, he couldn’t. '’E went on going backwards until ’e got to the door, and then ’e suddenly fell through it into the street, and tried to think.

“Then ’'e remembered Sam and Peter, and when Yo thought of them safe and sound aboard the Penguin he nearly broke down altogether, as 'e thought how lonesome he was.

“All ’e wanted was 'is arms round both their necks same as they was the night afore they ’ad ’im tattooed.” MORE THAN ONE DIFFERENCE. Aspect of Case That Stockbroker Had Not Considered. Edwin Markham, the poet, discussed rather impatiently in New York the semi-total pledge that has taken America by storm—the pledge never to drink between meals.

“One might keep such a pledge,” said Mr. Markham, “and still not shine. I am reminded appositely of a rich stockbroker. “This gentleman returned ‘' from luncheon one afternoon at about 3:30 o'clock. He took off his frock. coat and top hat. He lighted a superb Havana. Then he leaned back in his revolving’ chair and put his patent leathers on his desk, among the pens, inkpots. and business papers. “‘q tell you, Miss Carruthers,’ he said—and he directed a beaming smile upon his beautiful, golden haired stenographer—‘l tell you, the world looks different to a man when he’s got a bottle of champagne inside of him.’ “The young girl's lip curled. ““‘Yes, sir, she replied, ‘and he looks different to the world.””

in the Ice Age.

Prof. Louls Agassiz, many years ago,. first announced that-the ice sheet; or glacial flow, at the northwest of Maine could not have been less than a mile deep; while later geologists have confirmed his statement, adding the more recent conclusion that the ice was of that thickness at least over the larger part of New rngiand. : g We may trap a bird; but we cannot force it to eat from our hand. o

Provide plenty of litter for the chickens to scratch in this winter. Leaves are excellent.

. Don'’t forget to pick some of the best of the hickory sticks for ax handles. You will need them.

Be regular in feeding the poultry. This is a good rule with regard to livestock of all kinds. o

A good way to feed molasses to horses is to put it on the hay. Thia ration will keep them thrifty.

Alfalfa pays if you get a good stand, but remember that a good stand comes only with faithful preparation of 80il.

About the only treatment which the sheep-killing dog deserves is a bullet where it will put him out of business for good and all.

Never get the conception that it is clever schemirg that brings success. It’s hard work. that brings enduring success. The genius of hard work is the best asset in life. )

The farmer who begrudges the time necessary to feed and care for the hogs is generally the farmer who on market day is disappointed with the return from the sales.

Before ‘worrying over the fact that your neighbor has more land than you have, just study over the' question whether you are getting as much as is possible out of the land you already have.

The manure from a dairy cow will amount to over ten tons a year with a value of upwards of $3O. But the way the average far ndles this by-product, much the va ost. Why not stop m\fifig in cement gutters, make free use of bedding and get the manure out on the land every day?

Get the boy a camera and get him interested in taking pictures of the buildings and the stock. It will be one more link to bind him to the farm and will be a step toward improvement in the appearance of the farm and better farm animals. Pictures tell stories, and where the camera is on the farm to bring their tell-tale messages of neglect and disorder and poor stock, you are apt to spruce up a bit and to want stock that will look well in a picture. : :

. The weather man by study and observation may be able to pretty accurately predict what the weather is going to be, but it is God who maketh the sun to shine and the rain to fall, the winds to blow and the crops to grow. And it is well it is so, for he knoweth best. Let us never be impatient with what he sends. Always make the best of the weather conditions; order the farm work in harmony with the conditions God provides, and when it comes to taking stock after the harvest is over you will, as you do this year, have to admit that things turned out better than you had thought they would.

Remember that of all the manure produced on.the farm that from the poultry has the greatest ‘Value, and yet with but few exceptions it is not taken care of as it should be. The New Hampshire experiment station recommends that the weekly droppings of a flock of 25 hens should be mixed with about eight pounds of kainit or acid phosphate and a half peck of sawdust. If one desires a balanced fertilizer for corn and other hoed crops, a mixture of equal parts of kainit and acid phosphate could be used instead of either alone. Good dry meadow muck or peat would be equally as good as sawdust, if not better, to use as an absorbent. In the experiment mentioned, more than half of the ammonia was lost in hen manure without chemicals when compared with that which had been mixed with them.

Tn speaking of the prosperity and the conservatism of the. American farmer the National Mazazine has this to say: “No other class of 'people have kept their feet so firmly since last October (1907) as .the farmers have done, and they have kept their heads, too. They louk out over the country and behold the symptoms here and there of financial demoralizg‘tion and depression, in the light railroad traffic, partly suspended manufacturing, commercial hesitancy, inactivity, and speculative paralysis. They realize that, in so far as these things, portend low wages or lack of employment for labor, they must ultimately affect the farmer by limiting the demand for his product; but they are sagacious enough to know that existing conditions, with the world’s supply o; food relatively low, will prevent any acuté depression in the prices of farm products for two or three years to come, by which time financial disorders affecting other classes will doubtless have passed N

Feed variety to the hogs.

The farm is no place for the lazy man.

Growing pigs should not be confined to small pens and yards. : : All ahals, especially the horse, relish a change in.their feed.

Cover the rhubarb and asparagus beds with a heavy coating of manure.

For every tree cut out a new one should be plantéd. \Only in this way can you keep up the supply.

The plank drag will prove of great value on any farm in crushing clods and making land fit for the seed.-

Alfalfa hay is good for the horse as it contains more nutriment than timothy hay, but be careful as to how you feed it. :

“Do you know that your hens come over into my garden?’ “I thought they were.” “Why so?” “Because they never came back.”

Leaks in the roof and cracks in the walls of the hen house will lead you to conclude before the winter is over that chicken raising does not pay.

Without comfort how can you expect that your dairy cow is going to fill the milk pail. Shiver and shake and a poor food ration never yet secured a profit from a cow.

Good ventilation is needed in the sheep barn, but don’t let that ventilation be through the roof which lets the rain in. Fix up the barn now if you have not already done so. ;

. Canadian thistles can be cleaned out of & field by, a thorough cultivation of the ground for a few years, making sure that none of the thistles go to seed. Not an easy job, but it can be done. b

One farmer who has had success raising calves takes them from the mother after the third day and, feeds skim milk:with a handful of rolled oats to a quart of milk. The oats before using are boiled up with a little salt in the water.

Every farm in the land should have its flock of sheep. Twenty are rone too many. - They will keep the pastures free from weeds, and while living on forage which the other animals would not touch will enrich the ground with their droppings.

Protect the young fruit trees before the snow comes and drives the rabbits and mice to eat the tree bark. An excellent way of doing this is to wrap laths, building paper or strips of wood veneer around the base of each tree, reaching two or three feet up from the ground. i :

Investigation has proved that the greater part of the impurities fgtund in milk get there within a short time

after it has been drawn from the cow and before it leaves the shed. This fact should set the farmer ta studying how he can improve the conditions in his barn. .

Take care of the threshing engine. Clean the boiler, then fill it with cold water, pour in a quart of good oil and get up steam, then blow it out. When it gets cold clean the grates good and all around them, then take some axle grease or thick oil and grease the inside of the firebox all around. = Oil the flues with good oil and put two or three shovelfuls of dry shavings in the firebox to take up the dampness. ‘

The government commission on country life is anxious to obtain all the suggestions possible from farmers, and pursuant to that end Lave sent out circulars containing various questions covering nearly every phase of farm life with the request that they be answered and returned. If you have not received one, write to the commission at Washington, D. C., and one will be promptly sent. Such help will prove of inestimable value to the commission. -_—

Save your coal ashes for mixing with heavy soil in the vegetable garden. They have almost no fertilizing value, but help to loosen up some soils. Soot should always be saved when flues and chimneys are cleaned, for it is invaluable, especially for roses. It is beneficial as a fertilizer and drives away insects. For radishes, onions and cabbages it is helpful, for it discourages the cutworms and grubs. Wood ashes are especially valuable as a fertilizer and should always be saved.

The dairy division of the United States department of agriculture will conduct a milk and cream contest open to all dairymen in the United States, at the third annual dairy show, Chicago, December 2 to 10. The object of this contest is educational and entire1y for the benefit of the dairymen. The milk and cream will be carefully analyzed and scored by experts from the department of ggriculture. Forty points will be allowed for flavor, 20 for composition, 20 for bacteria, 5 for acidity, and 10 for appearance of package and cleanliness of milk. Any defects will be pointed out in the score and dairymen will have opportunity to learn whether by the methods they are using they can produce a standard product. There will be four classes in this contest, as foliows: Class I. Market milk (raw) two prizes (gold and silver medals). Class 11, Market‘ cream (raw) two prizes (gold and gilver medals). Class 111.. Certified milk (raw) two prizes (gold and silver medals). Class IV. Certified cream (raw) two prizes (gold and silver medals). Milk and cream receiving a -gcore of 90 or above will be classed as excellent. After being scor:d, the product will be placed on exnibition accompanied by the score.
