?o Hmry1 t >. Stems. IV.?The Halberdier of the Little Rhein, schloss. [CopyriRht by Doubleday, Pago &. Co.] sometimes Into "P* J the BlerhaUe and V? JCrMT restaurant called Old Munich. Not UtaUDJpJr* long ago it was a t/ resort of interestJJf lng Bohemians, VslS-r' hut now only art 1 clans and literary folk frequent It But the Pilsner Is yet good, and I take some diversion from the conversation of waiter No. 18. . For many years the customers of Old Munich have accepted the place as a faithful copy from the ancient German ttown. The big hall with Its smoky raftera, rows of Imported steins, portrait of Goethe and verses painted on the walls ?translated Into German from the original of the Cincinnati poets?seems atmospherically correct when viewed through the bottom of a glass. But not long ago the proprietors added the room above, called it the Little Khelnschloss and built In a stairway. Up there was an imitation stone parapet, Ivy covered, and the walls were painted to represent depth and distance, with the Ithlne winding at the base of the vlneyarded slopes and the castle of Ehrenbreltsteln loomlug dlt ?'tly opposite the eutrnnce. Of course I dcre were tables nnd chairs, and you could have beer nnd food brought you. I went Into Old Munich one afternoon when there were few customers and sat at my usual table near the stair gSl way. I was shocked and almost dlspleased to perceive that the glass cl^B gar case by the orchestra stand hnd ^B been smashed to smithereens. I did not like things to happen In Old Mu kH| lilcb. Nothing bad ever happened there H before. Walter No. 18 came and breathed on ^ nty neck. 1 was Ills by right of dls^covery. Eighteen'* bruin was built m|lke a corral. It was full of ideas jKvhlch, when he opened the gate, came miuddllng out like a tlock of sheep that \ Yntght get together afterward or might not. 1 did not shine as u shepherd. As i 4 type Eighteen fitted nowhere. 1 did lijot find out if he had u nationality, Itumily, creed, grlevuuce, hobby, soul, preference, home or vote, lie only Vimc always to my table and, as long V Ills leisure would permit, let words litter from him like swallows leaving 4mrn at duyllght. Vllow did the cigar case come to be Kighteen?" I asked with a certain feeling of personal grievance. "I can tell you ubout that, sir," said he. resting his foot on the chair next to mine. "Did you ever have anybody hand you a double handful of good luck while both your bands was full of bad luck, anil stop to notice how your fingers behaved?" "No riddles, Eighteen," said I. "Leave out palmistry and manicuring." "You remember," said Eighteen, "the guy In the hammered brass ITlnce Albert and the oroide gold pants and the amalgamated copper liat, that carried the combination moat ax, Ice pick and liberty pole, and used to stand on the first landing as you go up to the Little Itlndslosh?" "Why, yes." said I. "The halberdier. 1 never noticed liim particularly. I remember I thought he was only a suit of armor. He had a perfect poise." "lie had more than that," salil Eighteen. "He was nie friend. He was an advertisement. The boss hired liim to stand on the stairs for a kind of scenery to show there was something doing in the has-been line upstairs. What did vou call him?n wh?i kiud of a beer?" "A hall>erdier," said I. "That was an ancient man-at-arms of many bun dred years ago." "Some mistake," said Eighteen "This one wasn't that old. lie wasn't over twenty-three or four. "It was the boss' idea, rigging a man np in an antebellum suit of tinware and standing him on the landing ol Jibe, slosh. lie bought the goods at ? Fourth nvenue antique store and hunp a sign out: 'Ablebodied halberdier wanted. Costume furnished.' "The same morning a young mar: with wrecked good clothes and n hun gry look comes In, bringing the slgr with him. I wns filling the mustard pots at my station. " 'I'm it,' says he. 'whatever it is But I never hnlberdlorod in n restau rant. Put me on. Isltumasqi -de? " 'I hear talk in the kitchen of '^Jsh ball,' says I. " 'Bully for you. Eighteen,' says he V /All nrwf I'll nn *h/ 1)088* desk.' "Well, the Ik>88 tries the Harvey ized pajamas on btin, and they fitted hlin like the scales on a baked red snapper, and he gets the Job. You'vi seen what It Is. He stood straight ui in the corner of the first landing wltl his halberd to Ills shoulder, looking P right ahead and guarding the l'ortu gals of the castle. Tho boss Is nuttj about having the true old world flavoi to his Joint Hallierdlers goes witi Itlndsloshes,' says he, *Just as rati goes with rathskellers and white cot ton stockings with Tyrolean villages. The boss Is a kind of a antlologist aiu Is all posted up on data and such in '*> formation. "From 8 p. in. to 2 in the mornlnfi Waa the halberdier's hours. lie got two meals with us help and a night I eat with him at the table. He Uked me. He never told his name. He was traveling impromptu, like kings, I guess. The first time at sup per I says to blin, 'Have some more of the spuds, Mr. Frellnghuysen.' 'Oh, don't be so formol and ofilsb, Eighteen/ says he. 'Call me Hal?that'i short for halberdier.' 'Oh, don't think HBfc I wanted to pry for jpmes,' says I, 'I know all about the dizzy Call from wealth and greatness. We're got c count washing dishes in the kitchen eud the third bartender used to be r jPullman conductor; And they Work La. I . ^1 Blr Percival,' says I, sarcastic. I M "Eighteen/ nays he, 'as a friendly devil in a cabbage scented bell, would 1 you mind cutting up tbls piece of steak for we* I don't say that It's got more mur-Me than I have, but*? And then he shows me the lnsldes of bis hands. They was blistered and cut and corned and swelled up till they looked like a couple of flank steaks crisscrossed with a knife?the kind the butchers hide and take home, knowing what Is the best. ** "Shoveling coal," says he, 'and piling bricks nnd loading drays. Rut they gave out, and I had to resign. I was born for a halberdier, and I've been educated for twenty-four years to All the position. Now quit knocking my profession nnd pass along a lot more of that hum. I'm holding the closing exercises.' says he. 'of a fortyeight hour fast.' "The second night he was on the job he walks down from his corner to the cigar case and calls for cigarettes. The customers at the tables all snicker out loud to show their acquaintance with history. The boss Is on. " 'An,' let's see?oh, yes, 'An anarchism,' says the boss. 'Cigarettes was not made at the time when halberdiers was invented.' " "The ones you sell was,* says Sir Perclval. 'Caporal wins from chronology by the length of a cork tip.' So he gets 'em and lights one and puts the box In his brass helmet and goes back to patroling the Uimlslosh. "He made a big hit, 'specially with the ladles. Some of 'em would poke him with their fingers to see If he was real or only a kind of a stuffed figure like they burn in elegy. And when he'd move they'd squeak and make eyes at him as they went up to the slosh. lie looked fine In his hnlberdushery. He slept at $2 a week lu a hall room on Third avenue. He in vlted me up there one night. lie had n little book on the washstand that he read Insteud of shopping in the saloons after hours. 'I'm on to that,' says 1, 'from reading about it in novels. All the heroes on the bum carry the little book. It's either Tantalus or Liver or Horace and is printed in Latin, and you're a college man. And I wouldn't be surprised,' says I, 'if you wasn't educated too.' Hut it was only the batt)ng averages of the league for the last ten years. "One night about half past 11 there comes In a party of these high rollers that are always hunting up new places to eat in and poke fun at. There was a swell girl In a forty II.-P. auto tan cont and veil, and a fat old man with white side whiskers, and a young chap that couldn't keep his feet off the tail of the girl's coat, and an oldish lady that looked upon life as Immoral and "I'm halberdiaring for my living," says in* iiaiu*. unnecessary. 'LIow perfectly delight( fill,' they says, 'to sup in a slosh!' Up the stairs they go, and in half a minute back down comes the girl, her skirts swishing like the waves on the beach. She stops on the landing and looks our halberdier In the eye. , " 'You,' she says, with a smile that , reminded me of lemon sherbet. I was > waiting upstAtrs in the slosh, then, and I was right down here by the door, , putting some vinegar and cayenne Into 1 an empty bottle of tabasco, and I heard all they said. , " 'It,' says Sir Perclval, without moving. Tm oily local color. Are my , hauberk, helmet and halberd on I straight?' "'Is there any explanation to this?* says she. 'Is It a practical Joke, such as men play In those Griddleenke ami . Lamb clubs? I'm afraid I don't see the point. I heard, vaguely, that you were away. For three months I?we have not seen you or heard from you.* , " Tm hnlberdlering for my living.' says the statue. Tm working,' snys he. 'I don't suppose you know what I work means.' ** -Have you?have you lost your > money?' she asks. "Sir Pevclval studies u minute. " 'I am poorer,' says he, 'than the poorest sandwich man on the street?If : I don't earn iny living.' " 'You call this work?' snys she. 'I thnmrht 11 man worked with his hands j or his liead Instead of becoming a ( mountebank.' " 'The calling of n halberdier,' nays , he, 'is an ancient and honorable one. I Sometimes.' nays he, 'the man-at-arms at the door has saved the castle while the plumed knights were cake walking In the banquet halls nl>ove.' ' " '1 see you're not ashamed,' savs she, 'of your peculiar tastes. I wonder. though, that the munhood 1 used to think I saw In you didn't prompt ( you to draw water or hew wood Instead of publicly flaunting your Igno, mlny In this disgraceful masquerade.' "Sir Perelvnl kind of rattles his armor and soy its,''Helen, will you suspend , sentence in this ihfttu-r for Just a little while? You don't unowatnnd,' says he. 'I've got to hold this jofc^lown a bit t longer.' "'You like being a harlequin^ or hal1 berdler, as you call It?* says sin. J " 'I wouldn't get thrown outYaf the Job Jnst now,' says he, with a rain, 'to bt appointed minister Oks^oVt^^ St. James.' "And then the forty H.-P. girl's eyes sparkled ns bard as diamonds. 'Very well.' snys she. 'You sbali have full run of your serving man's tastes this night.' And she swims over to the boss' desk and gives him a smll. that knocks the specks off Ids nose. " 'I think your Uindslosli.' says she. 'is as beautiful as a dream. It is a little slice of the old world set dowi i:i New York. We shall have a nice supper up there, but if you will grunt us one favor the illusion will he perfect?give us your halberdier to wait on our table.' "That hit the boss' antlology hobby mat right. 'Sure.' says he. 'dot vill be line. Utnl tier orchestra shall blny "Die SVucht urn Ithelu" all der time.' And he goes over and tells the halberdier to go upstnlrs and hustle the grub at the swells' table. "'I'm on the Job,' says Sir Perclval, taking off bis lioluiet and banging It on ills halberd and leaning !eiu in the corner. The girl goes up and takes her seat, and I see her jaw squared tight under her smile. 'We're going to be waited on by a real halberdier,' says she, 'one who is proud of his profession. Isn't it sweet?' " 'Itlpplng,' says the swell young mnn. 'Much prefer a waiter,' says the fat old gent. 'I hope he doesn't come from a cheap museum,' s!\vs the old lady; 'lie might have microbes in Ills costume.' "Before he goes to the table Sir Perclval takes tno by the arm. 'Eighteen,' says he. 'I've got to pull on this Job without a blunder. You coach me straight or I'll take that halberd and make hash out of you.' And then he goes up to the table with his ^oat of mail 011 and a napkin over his arm and waits for the order. " 'Why. It's Deering!' says the young swell. 'Hello, old man. What Uie'? " 'Beg pardon, sir,' interrupts the halberdier. 'I'm waiting on the table.' "The old man looks at litni grim, like a Boston bull. 'So, Deering,' ho says, you're at work yet.' " 'Yes, sir.' says Sir Perclval, quiet and gentlemanly as I coy^i have been myself, 'for almost three months now.' " 'You haven't been discharged during the time?' asks the old man. " 'Not once, sir,' says he. 'though I've had to change my work several times.' "'Walter,' orders the girl, short and sharp, 'another napkin.* He brings her one, respectful. 1 nnime on... I.wxto. I* 1 . ..i .ci nunc uci u, 11 i imiy swi.v it. stirred up in n lady. There was two bright red spots on lier cheeks, aiul her eyes looked exactly like a wildcat's I'd seen in the zoo. Her foot kept slapping tlie tloor nil the time. " 'Walter.' she orders, 'bring me filtered water without ice. Bring me a footstool. Take away this empty saltcellar.' She kept him on the jump. She was sure giving the halberdier his. "There wasn't but a few customers .up in the slosh at that time, so I hung out near the door so I could help Sli Perriva! serve. "He got along fine with the olives and celery and the blue points. Tbej was easy. And then the consomme came up the dumb waiter all in out big silver tureen. Instead of serving it from the side table he picks it uj between his hands and starts to the dining table with it. When nearly there he drops the tureen smash on the floor, and the soup soaks all ttu lower part of that girl's swell silk dress. " 'Stupid?Incompetent!' says she, glv ing him n look. 'Standing in a cor ner with n halberd seems to be youi mission In life.' "'Pardon me, lady,' says he. 'It was Just a little bit hotter than blazes. 1 couldn't help it.' "The old man pulls out a memoran dum book and hunts in it. 'The 25th of April, Peering,' says he. 'I know it.' says Sir Perclval. 'And ten min utes to 12 o'clock.' says the old man 'By Jupiter, vou haven't won vet!' And he pounds the table with his fisl and yells to me: 'Walter, call the man a per at once. Tell Idm to hurry here as fast as lie can.' I pro after the boss and old IJrockmann hikes up to the slosh on the Jump. "'I want this man discharged al once!" roars the old guy. 'Look what he's done. Kulned my daughter's dress. It'll cost at least $000. Pis charge this awkward lout at once 01 I'll sue you for the price of It.' "'I>is is had plzness,' says the boss Six hundred dollars Is much.

Tho care of sitting hens is made easier and successful hatches more certain when the sitters aro confined in a pen away from the layers. The floor of this hatching pen should be earth, dftg up and moistened. Nest boxes should be placed about the sides. There can be from 25 to 30 sittine hens ill si nen Fnr tho nout a lu<? 12 to 15 inches square and about the same in height is suitable. Remove the top, front, and bottom of the box. Cover the top with a burlap sack to provide ventilation and nail a wooden strip 4 Inches wide across the front at the bottom. Have a wide board to lean against the open front and a brick to keep it in place when it is necessary to confine the hen. Fill the bottom of the box level with the top of the 4-inch board with moist garden soil and hollow the soil like a saucer, so that the eggs will not roll away from the hen and become chilled. The surface of the earth should be smooth and hard to allow the eggs to roll. Cover the earth with a very little straw and put in a few common eggs. DOUBLE NEST Av SITTING HKNji / ^? ?i??i i / Remove the sitting hen to the new j nest at night. Dust her with yellow insect powder or grease a small space on the skin below her vent with a piece of 33 per cent, mercurial ointment about as large as a pea. This is for lice prevention. Place the hen quietly on the nest and shut her in. The next evening, when it is growing dark, dishes of whole grain and water * should be placed in front of the nest and the hen removed to feed. Leave j her alone and do not return until s night. If the hen is then on her nest . and contented, she may be given the s sitting of eggs you have selected for f her. 5 Feed sitting hens at the same hour every day. Give them whole grain a (whole corn is best) in a dish, letting them eat all they desire. Even unt. der the most favorable feeding condit tions, a hen will lose about tlireei fourths of a pound in weight during 11 the three weeks of incubation. If there k are many sitters in the pen. it is best i- to feed seven or eight together, reJ moving any that do not leave their r nests. Replace the hens after 20 I minutes. The doors of the nests are 9 closed except at feeding time. Exii ampie the ftests while the hens are feeding and if any eggs are broken il wash the other eggs in warm water and clean the nest. Moisten the ? earth about the nest frequently. On * the eighteenth day of incubation, Im* nierse the eggs f?r two minutes in 3 warm water (100 degrees F.) This [l softens the membranes inside the '' shell and results in the hatching of a ^ greater percentage of chicks. K FRANK C. HARE.

After this, weather k conditions and the severity of the - disease will determine the number of 0 ap licatlons. Ordinarily, It is advisable to spray every two weeks until * the fruit begins to ripen.
