The way of a boy wjth a sermon Is thus: 'Compose himself with a deep sigh; listens attentively for three minutes, In unimpeachable form. Cautiously reaches hymn book from rack; drops it: recovers it; reads hymns for five minutes. Explores trousers pocket and examines with deep Interest one magnet, two nails, three pencil stubs and several bits of unclassified junk. Drops something and hunts under sent until discovered. Sighs Heavily j in spects all the stained glnss window and the overhead architecture and dec orations'. Puts nolo of left foot against back of pew In" front, at level of knee, nnd Is highly surprised when root drops noisily, ltepeats same exercise with right foot with the same result. Sits still and gratefully sucks pepper mint offered by merciful aunt. Sighs heavily.

BEFORE WHITE MAN'S COMING Eight Groups of Indians Divided the Land Which We Now Know as North America. Tho North American Indians were divided Into seven or eight great groups, according to their various languages. The Algonqulns made up the largest family, comprising the eastern tribes of Canada and the United States south of Hudson bay, east of the Mississippi river and south to Vlrglnln and Tennessee. Including the OJIbwns, Ottnwas, Crocs, Algon qulns and Blackfebt. The Iroquois or Five Nations or Cooper's stirring talcs Inhabited the east central states, including New York. West of them lived the Dakotas or Sioux, from Canada to Arkansas and from the Mississippi to the Itocky mountains. Tho Muskokls or Appalachians occu pied tho southeastern states as far west ns tho Mississippi; while tins Shoshonls were nt home in tho region from Texas to Montana and from California to Idaho. The Athabascas, tho Tuning, nnd the Pueblos occupied Alnska and Cnnada. Oregon nnd New Mexico respectively. LIBERTY LAND COMPANY. S. M. SOUDEIt, Phono 124G T. V. I IE ALE Y, Phono 735.

It takes tho form of n monster elephant. Seen from a distance tho rcsomblnnco of tho structure to a llvo elephant Is remarkable. As you ap proach it Us hugo size becomes appar ent, but you quickly observe that It Is only n thing of wood and Iron, but most cleverly contrived. It bonsts of many beds, and a dining pnvlllon on tho animal's back capable of accom modating two hundred people. Ono renches this novel restaurant by means of n stnlrcaso which runs up through the' nnlmnrs legs and body. Here and thcro windows give tho nec essary light.

In order accurately to determine tho durability of the various kinds of roadway, the government bureau has a strotch of roadway at Arlington rep resenting all the different methods of road building, and over this a heavy machine Is drawn back and forth by cable. This Is supposed to roproduco tho action of vehicles passing over It and tho results nro carefully noted and compared. Tho result of the opera tlons will bo used ns a guide to tho expenditure of nonrly $300,000,000 which will bo mndo under government auspices during the next threo years. In Favor of Yachts.
