Staples is a lover of na ture, and every boy especially will be interested in seeing him and his pro gram a program portraying the most beautiful things in life Nature. Staples is a lover of nil outdoor sports nnd especially of canoeing. He ways: "Of all the out-of-door pastimes, I derive the most benefit from canoe ing. Here I get a chance to exercise my muscles and broaden my mind In my line of work. The pleasures I have on these trips cannot be excelled or equaled. It was during the summer of 1115 that I took a loO-mlle trip down the St. Croix river, which I shall al ways remember. The first day out the young man with me succeeded in shoot ing five ducks and eleven snipe. .J caught one "musky" and we felt highly elated over our first day's sucj cess. But that ended it, as our Incl? ceased with the first day. The second day it rained. How many of you ever made camp In a rainstorm, in a strange country? Well, that night and the foN lowing night we had to. It was nearly dark before we could find' a desirable place to enmp. As we were chilled through, we first nmdo a good fire. Though It still mined, this brightened things up a great de::l. I remembered as we were packing our luggage up to tne'caniping site, noticing a haystack on the opposite side of the river, we decided to have one eomfort at least, a hay mattress. While arranging our bed n large lizard was discovered in the hay, causing n little excitement for a few minutes. The third day the Let them remind you that it will soon be time to decide about that new range. We sell and recommend above all others the Monarch Malleable Range We don't ask you to buy it because we say it's good, but be cause you can see with your own eyes why it is better than others. Look it over and you will agree with us that No range made of grey or cast iron can possibly be as good and no other Malleable Range is made as well. Even apart from it's solid construction, every woman would choose it because of its delightful cleanliness. Think of what it would mean. No stove blacking needed. No smutty kettles to scour. No dust and ashes spilled around. No fancy carving to collect the dirt, etc. Let us show you this splendid range. Murray, Murray Hardvaro and Implomont Company, Nebraska DEATH OF MRS. JOHN W.

On just such trips as this one Mr Staples says he has great opportunity to stndv nature at all times of the day, as It actually Is. Chivton II. Staples is a Landscape Artist, not a Cartoonist. To Undergo Operation. We are indeed sorry to learn of our mighty good friend, J. A.
