They came upon a terrible Hon. The Hon confessed he had no cour age. He decided to accompany them to the Wlnsrd of Oz to get some. The scare crow In pushing the raft became Im paled upon his pole In the mlddlo of the river. The scarecrow was rescued by a friendly stork. They entered a poppy Held, which caused Dorothy to fall asleep. The scarecrow and tin woodman rescued her and her do from tho deadly flowers. The lion fell asleep and being too heavy to lift, was left. On tho starch for the rond of yellow brick which led to tho Emerald City they met a wild cat and field mice. Tha woodman killed the wild cat. Tha queen mouse became friendly. She sent thousand of her mlco subjects to draw the lion away from the poppy field. Pnrothy awoke from her long Sleep. They started again on the Rmer ald City road. They enme to a fence, painted green. There were farmers of f;reen, houses of green and people dressed n green. It was tha Land of Oi. They met the guardian of the rates. He de scribed the power of the vtznrd of Oi. All put on green spectacles as the bright ness and glory of Emerald City blinded them. The wizard decided to receive one of th party each day. All were put In green rooms. Dorothy went to tho throne room. In a rhalr sparkling with emer alds she beheld an enormous head with out body, legs or arms, bigger than the biggest giant. "I am Ox, the great and terrible," said the head. Ot told her that when she killed the wicked witch of ihe East he would send her home.

Dorothy threw water on the wicked witch, destroying her. CHAP XIII. The Rescm The Cowardly Lion was much pleased to hear that the Wicked Witch had been melted by a bucket of water, and Dor othy at once unlocked the gate of his prison and set him free. They went In together to the castle, where Doro thy's first act was to call all the Win kles together and tell them that they were no longer slaves. There was great rejoicing among the yellow Winkles, for they had been made to work hard during many years for the Wicked Witch, who had always treated them with great uelty. They kept this day as a holiday, then and Behold! Here Was the Scarecrow as Good as Ever. ever after, and spent the time In feast ing and dancing. "If our friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, were only with us," said the Lion, "I should be quite happy." "Don't you suppose we could rescue them?" asked the girl, anxiously. "We can try," answered the Lion. So they called the yellow Winkles and asked them If they would help to rescue their friends, and the Winkles said that they would be delighted to do all In their power for Dorothy, who had sot them free from bondage. So she chose a number of the Winkles who looked as If they knew the most, and they all started away. They trav cled that day and part of the next un til they came to the rocky plain where the Tin Woodman lay, all battered Wizard pOz By L Frank Baam and bent. Ills ax was near him, but the blade was rusted and the handle broken off short. Tho Winkles lifted him tenderly In their arms, and carried him back to the yellow castle again, Dorothy shed ding a few tears by the way at the sad plight of her old friend, and the Lion looking sober and sorry. When they reached the castle Dorothy said to the Winkles: "Are any of yourk;ople tinsmiths?" "Oh, yes; some of us are very good tinsmiths," they told h. "Then bring thorn to me," she said. And when the tinsmiths came, bring ing with them all their tools In bas kets, she Inquired: "Can you straighten out those dents In the Tin Woodman, and bend him back Into shape again, and solder him together where he Is broken?" Tho tinsmiths looked the Woodman over carefully and then answered that they thought they could mend him bo he would be as good, as ever. So they set to work In one of the big yellow rooms of the castle and worked for three days and four nights, hammer ing and twisting and bending and sold ering and polishing and pounding at the legs and body and head of the Tin Woodman, until at last he was straightened out Into his old form, ana his Joints worked as well as ever. To be sure, there were several patches on him, but the tinsmiths did a good Job, and as tho Woodman was not a vain man he did not mind the patches at all. When, at last, ho walked Into Doro thy's room and thanked her for rescu ing him, lie was so pleased that he A Winkle, wept tears of Joy, and Dorothy had to wipe every tear carefully from his face with her apron, so his Joints would not be rustod. At the same time her own tears fell thick and fast at the Joy of meeting her old friend again, and these tears did not need to be wiped away. As for the Lion, he wiped his eyes bo often with the tip of his tall that It becamo quite wet, and he was obliged to go out Into the court-yard and hold It In the sun till It dried. "If we only had tho Scarecrow with us again," said tho Tin Woodman, when Dorothy had finished telling him everything that had happened, "I should be quite happy." "We must try to find him," said the girl. So she called the Winkles to help her, and they walked all that day and part of tho next until they came to the tall tree In the branches of which the Winged Monkeys had tossed the Scare crow's clothes. It was a very tall tree, and the trunk was so Bmooth that no one could climb It; but the Woodman said at once: "I'll ehop It down, and then wo can get the Scarecrow's clothes." Now while the tinsmiths had been at work mending the Woodman him self, another of tho Winkles, who was a goldsmith, had made an ax-handle of solid gold and fitted it to the Wood man's ax, Instead of tho old broken handle. Others polished the blade until all the rust was removed and It glistened llko burnished silver. As soon as ho had spoken, the Tin Woodman began to chop, and In a short time tho tree fell over with a crash, when tho Scarecrow's clothes fell out of the branches and rolled off on the ground. Dorothy picked them up and had the Winkles carry them backJo the castle, where they were stuffed with nice, clean straw; and, behold! here was the Scarecrow, as good as ever, thanking them over and over again for saving him. Now they were reunited, Dorothy ii inir-i ron ruunjuij'ijij JSWN Made the Eulogy a Farce Bishop Potter's Illustration of tha Inadvlsabllity of Relying Too Much on Notes. The late Rev. Henry Codman Potter greatly objected to tho use of notes. At one time he was addressing a num ber of young theologians on the Im portance of not being too closely con fined to a manuscript. By way of Il lustration he told the following anec dote about a clergyman who was called upon to officiate at a funeral. "When the minister arrived at the town where the deceased had lived he had Just time to make a few In quiries about his traits and achieve ments, the results of which he noted on a memorandum. His eulogy at the service, as reported, was about ai follows: and her friends spent a few happj days at the Yellow Castle, when they found everything they needed t mako them comfortable. Hut one daj the girl thought ot Aunt Em, and said: "We must go back to Oz, and clalrr his promise." "Yes," said tho Woodman, "at lasi I shall get my heart." "And I shall get my brains," added the Scarecrow, joyfully. "And I shall get my courage," sale the Lion, thoughtfully. "And I shall get back to Kansas,' cried Dorothy, clapping her hands "Oh, let us start for the Emerald CItj to-morrow I" This they decided to do. The next day they called the Winkles togethei and bade them ijood -by. The Wlnkiei were sorry to have them go, and thej had grown bo fond of the Tin Wood man that they begged him to stay and rule over them and the Yellow Land of the West. Finding they were de termlned to go, the Winkles gave Tote and the Lion each a golden collar; and to Dorothy they presented a beau tlful bracelet, studded with diamonds; and to the Scarecrow they gave s gold-headed walking stick, to keep birr, from stumbling; and to the Tin Wood man they offered a silver oil can, in laid with gold and set with precious Jewels. Every one of the travelers made the Winkles a pretty speech in return, and all shook hands with them until their arms ached. D(rothy went to the Witch's cup board to fill her basket with food for tho Journey, and there she saw the golden cap. Sho tried It on her own head and found that It fitted her ex actly. She did not know anything about the charm of the golden cap, but she saw that It was pretty, so she made up her mind to wear It and carry her sunbonnet In the basket. Then, being prepared for the Jour ney, they all started for tho Emerald City; and the Winkles gave them three cheers and many good wishes to carry with them. Ihe Wind Moakeys You will remember there was no road not even a pathway between tho rastle of tho Wicked Witch mid the Emerald City. When tho four travelers went in search of tho Witch she had seen them coming, and so sent the Winged Monkeys to bring mem to her. It was much harder to find their vay back throuch tho bis fields of buttercups and bright daisies man it was being carried. They knew, of course, they must go straight east, toward the rising sun; and they started off in the right way. Hut at noon, when the sun was over their heads, they did not know which was east and which was west, and that wa.s tho reason they were lost In the great fields. They kept on walking, however, and at night the moon caraa ont nnd shone brightly. So they lay down among the sweet smelling scar let flowers and slept soundly until morning all but the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. The next morning the sun was be hind a cloud, but they started on, as If they were quite suro which way they were going. "If we walk far enough," said Doro thy, "we shall sometime come to some place, I am suro." Dut day by day passed away, and they Btlll saw nothing before them but tho scarlet fields. Tho Scarecrow began to grumble a bit. "We have surely lost our way," ho said, "and unless we find It again- in time to reach tho Emerald City I shall never get my brains." "Nor I my heart," declared the Tin Woodman. "It seema. to me I can scarcely wait till I get to Oz, and you must admit this Is a very long Jour ney." "You see," said the Cowardly Lion, with a whimper, "I haven't tho cour age to keep tramping forever, without getting anywhere at all." (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Her Than in the United States. For some reason better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their Thanksgiving a month or more earlier than we do. It may be that the Cana dian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or It may bo that the "frost on the pumpkin" de clared Itself. Dot whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day Is past It may baye been that the reasons for giving thanks so much earlier than we do were pushing themselves bo hard and to fast that the Canadians were ashamed to postpone the event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too, tor giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded in abundance, and here, by the way, It Is not uninteresting to the friends of the millions of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously In the "cutting of the melon." Probably the western portion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche wan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to ex press In the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. The results In the line of production give ample reason for devout thanksgiving to Providence. This year has surpassed all others In so far as the total Increase in the coun try's wealth Is concerned. There Is no question that Providence was espe cially generous. The weather condi tions were perfect, and during the ripening and harvesting period, there was nothing to Interfere. And now It was well It was so, for with a demand for labor that could not be supplied, there was the greatest danger, but with suitable weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accom plished. There have been low gen eral averages, but these are account ed for by the fact that farmers were Indifferent, relying altogether upon what a good soli would do. There will be no more low averages though, for this year has shown what good, careful farming will do. It will pro duce 130 million bushels ot wheat from seven million acres, and it will pro duce a splendid lot of oats, yielding anywhere from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from $10 to J 15 per acre many farm ers have realized Bufflclent from this year's crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says: "The whole population of the West rejoices In the bounty of Providence, and sends out a message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country. The cheerfulness which has abounded with Industry during the past six months has not obliterated the concep tion of the source from which the blessings have flown, and the good feeling Is combined with a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living In so fruitful a land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten, because there Is great cause to con template with satisfaction the com forts of the present. Thanksgiving should be a season ot unusual enthusiasm."- What's a Gentleman? An exact definition of a gentleman has been tried many times, never per haps with entirely satisfactory results.
