Wanton Slaughter of Game.
Kill! Kill! Kill! The word is on
every tongue from the time the big
game season opens in the far west
until it closes, two months later.
Every man’s hand seems to be against
the wild things of the mountains—the
harmless wild things which lend to
the forest half its charm. If it were
the aim of the people to exterminate
the deer, elk and mountain sheep they
could not kill with more avidity. The
question of skill does not enter into
it. If an elk is close enough to singe
his hair with the powder, no matter,
kill him! If the pack horses are al
ready loaded to the limit, if not a
pound of the meat is to be touched, if
the head is worthless as a trophy and
the horns valueless, no matter, kill
just the same. The law permits each
person his two elk, so take the limit!
If an animal is crippled, do not bother
to trail him. let him go; the wolves
will pull him down eventually, or he
will fall and starve—that elk with the
shattered shoulder or the deer with
the dragging hind leg. What does it
matter to you if, a comparatively few
years hence, the elk tracks and the
print of the deer’s pointed hoof are
gone forever, if the forests are de
pleted and silent and a pair of antlers
has become a curiosity? You have
had your spor,t. And this, exclaims
Caroline Lockhart in Lippincott’s, is
the way in which nine-tenths of the
people reason who hunt in the big
game season. The real sportsman is
not a menace to the game; he is its
best friend, its protector. He is as
jealous of it as though it were his own
property, and he has a clearly defined
code of honor in regard to the killing
of it. But real sportsmen are rare in
the big-game country.
New Jersey lives up to its reputa
tion for producing original citizens.
The latest case in point is that of
Peter Mowry, an engineer on the Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western rail
road. One day when his train reached
Millburn he discovered that he did not
have water enough to carry him to
the next water tank. He hesitated
only a moment, then jumped out of
his cab and disappeared. Before he
climbed back to his seat the Are en
gines came tearing down the street
toward the station. In reply to the
foreman, who asked where the fire
was, Mowry explained his needs, and
said he had pulled the alarm because
he thought maybe the fire company
could run a hose to a hydrant and fill
his tank. He did not judge his fellow
Jcrseymen wrongly, for the hose was
unwound and he soon had all the wa
ter he needed.
Dr. Marade, the French inventor of
voice telegraphy, says that the reason
women can talk longer, and faster,
and harder than men is because their
larynges are narrower. He asserts
that there is need for a tremendous
amount of power in talking with a
broad larynx—that an orator talking
to a big crowd does as much work* as
a porter who shoulders 400 pounds.
On this basis there are several gen
tlemen loose in the country who are
doing as much work as the average
railroad.
It has taken the English five years
to decide that Empire day, as the an
niversary of Queen Victoria's birthday
has b6en called since the queen's
death, is worth celebrating. It has
been observed in the British colonies,
but at home hardly any official recog
nition of the day has been shown.
This year, however, the London school
children received a half holiday, and
sang patriotic songs and saluted the
flag before going home for the after
noon.
The New York legislature has
passed a bill which gives women
school teachers in New York city the
same pay ashmen. It has long been
maintained that for equal work there
should be equal pay. The lower rate
of pay for women teachers has, for
.better or for worse, left American
common school education largely in
the hands of women, and tended to
keep riien out of the profession.

VIRTUE IN HARMONY
HOW COOPERATION OF THE PEO
PLE OF A COMMUNITY WINS.
STICKING TOGETHER COUNTS
Illustration of Some of the Good
Things in Clannishness.es Found
in Some Agricultural Disc
tricts.
Often is heard protest against what
is called clannishness among foreign
ers who become citizens of the United
States. It is claimed that they carry
old-country ideas with them to the
new land, and refuse to mingle with
other than their own ua#onality. In
defense of these foreigners who are
thus charged, it is but fair to say that
many of them labor under the misap
prehension that they are not looked
upon by the older American citizens
as companionable. Often their lack
of a knowledge of the English lan
guage makes their own class desir
able associates. It will be observed
that in one or two gent-rations condi
tion changes and the children of these
foreigners become thoroughly Amer
icanized.
It would be well if some of the
traits of clannishness that are manifest
in foreign colonies be generally prac
ticed throughout the United States. In
1848 an effort was made to colonize
land in Missouri with a progressive
class of German citizens. The events
immediately following this effort, the
loss of one shipload of immigrants
and the subsequent sufferings of the
newcomers, is a matter of history.
But undaunted hundreds of those who
at that time sought homes in the new
country, gained for themselves envi
able places in the annals of American
history, and they founded commu
nities that may well be held up as
models worthy to be copied. In Gas
conade county, Missouri a large colony
« these people scugnt nomes. mere
they tilled the soil and cultivated vine
yards. They were of one tongue and
of one religious belief, a highly moral,
Ward-working people, and their aim
(was to found hemes for themselves
and their progeny. To-day in Gas
conade county, there is more evidence
of wealth, of culture and harmony
among the people than can be found
in any like area of the United
States.
From ttie founding of the colony it
was veeogiized that if progress be
gnade that the wealth produced by
members should be retained. Mills
were gradually built for the conver
sion of the grain into flour, wine
presses were found on almost every
homestead, and towns were built.
Among the first institutions establish
ed were schools and churches, and
these to-day are prominent factors in
the molding of the character of the
people.
It was one of the rules of the col
ony to assist one another. Each one
while working for hiraself and his
family, realized that it was to his ad
vantage to patronize his neighbor.
Thus when the towns were started
and stores opened, it was made a
rule that these stores be patronized
and that the store-keeper be allowed
a fair profit for the goods he sold.
Tailor shops, boot and shoe makers,
soap makers, and even the brewers
of beer found their customers solely
among the members of the colony.
Although St. Louis was withfti a few
hours’ ride, the members of the colony
considered that the dollars kept in
the little town instead of being spei t
in St. Louis meant much for the ad
vancement of the place.' As years
passed by members of the colony be*
came prosperous. Families were
reared and children married, addition
al homesteads w-ere secured and there
was a thorough cooperation among
all towards making life agreeable and
giving each member of the commu
nity a means of acquiring a compe
tency. One of the early undertak
ings was the building of macadamized
roads. These roads to-day are kept
in the best of condition and have
proved a matter of economy to the
county. Schools and churches, which
at first were roughly built, have been
replaced with Magnificent edifices
which are sources of pride to the resi
dents of the community. Some of
the small business places of 40 or 50
years ago have grown to be of almost
national importance. In fact all res
idents of the community are inde
pendent, and a few of them posses
sors of great wealth. How success
ful they have been is shown by the
absence of paupers in the county.
There are no public charges, neither
is there any great expense as to main
taining a county jail.
This community is but one of many
in the Mississippi valley and through
out the west. Such communities have
been built up solely by the simple ad
herence to cooperation among mem
bers and a following out of the home
trade principle. Members realized
that every dollar earned in the com
munity and sent to some other place
robbed the community of so much
wealth, and that this dollar ceased to
be a factor in increasing the impor
tance and progress of tJie place.
In
these communities are generally lo
cated flouring mills. The output of
these mills finds local sale and the sur
plus is sent to the markets to bring
in money from the ounside. It ap
pears that if the simple economical
methods of many classes of citizens
of foreign birth were tc be practiced
more generally by people residing in
various agricultural communities of
the United States, it would be whole
some and that these communities
would make greater progress. The
practice 'that has grown up of pat
ronizing other than home institutions
has elements of evil that are well
worthy of careful study. In these
years of progress the Inclination to
economize in small things and to save
a penny by sending dollars to the
large cities often results in heavy

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.
Students In sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chanced for the success of young men
of country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards a pastoral life,
but it is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation of corporations and
trusts for the control of various in
dustries. In other words, the cen
tralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing of busi
ness in mercantile lines on a small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns of the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increas
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre
sent themselves for the exercise of
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
ies, and the little village of to-day
will be the large city a quarter cen
tury hence. Almost every town af
fords the progressive young man a
chance for business success. Oppor
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufactur
ing along certain lines. The oppor
tunities for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns. Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away
from them. In this is discovered a
reason why residents of a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging in
business in it. In thousands of cities
and towns of the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers’ sons a quar
ter or a half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
home town, and writh the progress of
the towm developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths of to-dav, but remember that
many of these men w'ould not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed.
COMMON SENSE ECONOMICS.
Simple Principles for Application in
Everyday Affairs.
He who aims to be fair toward his
neighbor will not deny him the oppor
tunity to make an honest living. The
day laborer should be as well reward
ed, according to his work, as is the
merchant or the banker.
Merchants are shortsighted when
they will order potatoes or other
vegetables by the carload from an
other town when right in their neigh
borhood farmers have just as good po
tatoes to sell, and perhaps at a lower
price. No use in paying the commis
sion n^n a percentage in a case like
this.
From fruit-growing sections year
after year reports come as to the rot
ting of the crops on accouunt of the
poor transportation facilities, or re
fusal of buyers in the large cities to
pay prices sufficient to pay for gath
ering. Here is an opportunity for the
manifestation of local enterprise.
Why not start small drying and can
ning establishments to use up the sur
plus fruit? Such establishments could
be profitably conducted, and operated
with benefit to all the people of the
community.
There is little economy for the
storekeepers to keep on their shelves
goods that are likely to grow out of
date, or deteriorate in value. Better
sell all such goods at actual cost, and
give the people of the neighborhood
the benefit of lowest prices.
People are interested in prices of
goods. The wise merchants fully ap
preciate the value of the home paper
as a medium of intercourse with their
customers. Well-written advertise
ments and the naming of prices at
tract attention, for the average per
son when his attention is called to an
article always wants to know the
cost.
One dollar circulated in a commun
ity is worth to it $50 circulated in
some other place. A district is made
wealthy only by retaining in it the
dollars that are earned within it, or
which nay be brought to it through
commerce.
Residents of rural communities
should beware of traveling agents
who are disposing of new-fangled cold
air refrigerators. This refrigerator is
represented as requiring no ice. All
that is necessary is to fill some of the
reservoirs it contains with cold water.
The agent does not ask that the farm
er even buy this refrigerator, and
represents that he is merely advertis
ing it, and desires to place one on
trial without cost to the farmer. Of
course a receipt for the wooden box
is asked. This receipt in the course
of a few months turns up as a prom
isory note for $68. The farmer has a
cheap wooden affair on his hands that
Is not worth the room it occupies,
and a total failure as far as the re
frigerator goes.
You can do much for your neighbor
by helping build up your home town.
He no doubt is as much interested
in the betterment of the schools and
churches as you are.
Courtesy at Home.
We are all creatures of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful Influence on the character of
both. The root of all bad manners is
selfishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear/and drops so
far behind in time that it disappears
altogether. '‘One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home.” True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep so
ciety together, hut not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each of ns
that it will become our second nature,
and therefore can he no more laid
aside than can an arm or a leg.
LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life’s Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows no life com
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such headway be
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 30 were $21,660,761. It is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,180,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu
ities, trust fund installments, for pur
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,480,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, em
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. It is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre
maturely.
“Sensible to the Last.”
An old Scotch lady used to be at
tended by a doctor to whom she In
variably gave a guinea when he went
to see her. He had told the friends
with whom she lived that her death
would probably be sudden, and one
day he was hurriedly sent for, as she
appeared to have become unconscious.
On his arrival he saw at once that
the old lady was dead, and, taking
hold of her right hand, which was
closed, but not rigid, he calmly ex
tracted from it the fee which she
had provided for him, and as he did
so he murmured: “Sensible to the
last”
Modesty of True Greatness.
Abou Ben Adhem had just found
out that his name Jed all the rest.
“Still,” he observed, with a modesty
as rare as it was charming, “the sea
son is young yet. I've made a few
lucky hits, it’s true, but just as likely
as not I shall be at the bottom of the
percentage column in batting before
the season ends.” Smilingly accept
ing the bouquet of cut flowers sent to
him by an admirer in the grandstand,
be steepped up to the plate, struck
out, dodged a lemon thrown at him
by a disgusted bleacherite, and went
and took his seat on the bench.
Generous Mr. Kraft.
“Mr. Kraft, the merchant,” said the
college president, “has offered to do
nate $5,000 for a new building to be
known as ‘Kraft hall.’ ”
“But,” said the dean of the facul
ty, $“$5,000 won’t pay for the build
ing we want.”
“Oh! no. You see, Mr. Kraft’s gen
erous offer is contingent upon our se
curing donations of $10,000 each from
ten other public-spirited citizens.”—

Very Handy.
“Among the people who greeted the
President upon his arrival at Oyster
Bay,“ says an exchange, “none at
tracted so much attention as a woman
who carried two children in her arms
and led another by the hand:” It
strikes us that a capable woman like
that would attract attention anywhere.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Care
ful Persons.
Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
etc., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc
ing gas, and microbes generate In the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food “Grape-Nuts,” where
the starch is changed into a form of
sugar during the process of its manu
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in a
pre-digested form and is immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive, organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash ob
tained from the grains, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re
build worn out cells in the brain.
This is a scientific fact that can be
easily proven by ten day’s use of

TABLE DELICACIES
GOOD SUGGESTIONS BY EXPERI
ENCED COOKS.
Proper Way to Make Caramels—
Banana Salad a Pleasant Change—
Good to Remember When
Peeling Oranges.
Caramels.—Burn one cup of brown
sugar and add a cup of water, little
by little. Put In another cup of
brown sugar and some butter and
let It boil. When it hairs put in but
tered pan and cut. If you want them
to be chocolate caramels add some
chocolate or cocoa.
To Peel Oranges.—If you will pour
scalding water over the oranges and
let them stand five minutes you will
save time in peeling them. The thick
white inner skin, usually so hard to
get off, will adhere to the peel and
come off with it, leaving the fruit
beautifully clean and ready to slice.
Improved Pieplant.—To improve the
taste of pieplant stew some finely cut
lemon peel with it.
Banana Salad.—This salad is served
in banana boats, which are large, firm
banana skins, from which only one
strip has been removed. The grapes
used in this salad are Malaga; cut in
halves and remove seeds. The ba
nanas are peeled, sliced, and quar
tered, the endive, very white, is
shredded finely and the whole mass of
fruit is covered generously with or
ange juice and over all pour mayon
naise dressing. Place on small
blanched, lettuce leaves with sprigs
of water cress at each end for decora
tion.
Devil’s Food Cake.—Two cups sugar
creamed with half cup butter. Then
add two beaten eggs; half cup sour
milk; one teaspoonful soda; two tea
spoonfuls vanilla; two and two-thirds
cups flour; half cup of chocolate in
half cup boiling water, stir, into paste,
let cool, and pour into butter.
Lazy Woman’s Pie.—Line a deep
pie tin with rich pie crust, core and
pare apples as for baking, stand in
the crust and season the pie with
butter, sugar, and spice the same as
an ordinary pie. No upper crust.
Bake and serve hot or cold with or
without whipped cream.
Vegetable Salad.—One quart of po
tatoes cut in dice, one good sized cu
cumber cut the same way, three table
spoonfuls of green peas, two pimentos
shredded. Mix with a pint of cooked
salad dressing. Serve in individual
dishes on lettuce leaves frosted with
whipped cream or sprinkled with
paprika.
Rhubarb Wine.
Cut rhubarb into small pieces and
put in stone jar. Pour on boiling wa
ter enough to cover and let stand
three days and three nights, then
squeeze the rhubarb through a cloth.
Do not press very dry. Measure the
juice and add a pound of sugar (light
brown) to each gallon of liquid. Put
into the jar again and let stand in
warm place. When it begins to work
skim every day or two. Let stjmd
in the jar about two weeks, then pftt
into a jug, leaving any sediment that
may have settled in jar. Do not cork
very tight in the jug. As it may
work still more, if put into glass bot
tles it is likely to break them.
New Upholstering Nail Is Small.
The extremely large so-called ‘ hob”
nails used for some time to fasten
leather to furniture have been used
to such a tiring extent that apparent
ly the pendulum has swung the other
way and the other extreme has been
reached. On some very handsome,
as well as expensive, leather library
furniture recently exhibited the nails
were smaller than the regulation pea,
and instead of being of brass or
wrought iron finish were of steel gray.
Potato Balls With Parsley Butter.
Boil small or medium potatoes as
near of a size as possible, first par
ing them. Serve with a butter made
by beating to a cream two tablespoons
of butter, a half tablespoon of lemon
juice and a tablespoon of finely
minced parsley. Add salt and a dash
of cayenne pepper. Spread over the
hot potatoes and it will melt into a
delicious dressing. This is especially
nice to serve with fish.—Good House
keeping.
Novel Cheese Salad.
A delicious novelty in serving cot
tage cheese is the following: Force
the cheese through a finely perfo
rated ricer. It will look like a fluffy
mass of extraordinary small spa
ghetti. Place this in a rather deep
dish upon lettuce leaves, which should
peep above the cheese like dainty
frills of green. Over the center of
the cheese put a layer of preserved
strawberries.—The Delineator.
Washing Fluid.
Three-quarters pound of unslacked
lime, two pounds of sal soda, dissolved
with eight quarts of boiling water.
Let it stand and settle and drain off
and set away In bottles or a jug.
Use one cup in a boiler of clothes with
soap cut up. I soak my clothes and
wring out and put them in the boil
er in cold water with the above and
boil about five minutes and rinse
well.
Polishing Cloths.
Old pieces of velveteen should, after
they hare served their original pur
pose, be saved for polishing cloths.
They will answer the purpose of
chamois for plate cleaning, and save
buying anything fresh. Wash the vel
veteen cloths as often as needed in
soapy water and hang out to dry. !
How to Make Copper Bright.
Copper utensils may be brightened
by the use of vinegar and salt or ox
alic acid. Ordinary ironware may be
scoured with finely-sifted coal ashes,
and galvanized ironware may be
wiped oft with a cloth dipped in ker
osene. Tins may be cleaned with
kerosene and sand, or rubbed with
crumpled newspapers.
Colored Clothes.
Colored clothes require quick wash
ing and drying. Very few colored
things will stand being boiled. Avoid
soda or borax in the water,-as this
helps to set the color and prevents
It running. Hang out In the shade
to dry; avoid a very hot Iron.
PROUD IN HER POVERTY,
Young Woman’s Brave Answer to In
sulting Landlord.
Frank P. Sargent, the United States
commissioner of immigration, said
one day in Washington:
' “There is fine stuff in some of these
poor people who cbme to uor shores.
[ heard recently of a young Swedish
woman. Brave, witty and honorable,
she could bring splendid young
Americans into the world. A short
time after she arrived among us, her
husband got out of work. Naturally,
then, the rent fell behind. The land
lord called for it one day In her hus
band’s absence. He listened to the
young woman's tale of misfortune, re
garding the while her yellow hair,
her clear blue eyes, her red mouth
and white teeth. Suddenly, bending
toward her, he said:
Give us a kiss!’
“She drew back, and her blue eyes,
as cold as ice, dwelt on him disdain
fully.
“ ‘No,’ she said, ‘my husband and I
may be too poor to pay our rent, but
we are not so poor that we can’t do
our own kissing.’ ”
AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew
Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cu

“Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe
cialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but I thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
so I purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me $1, and ic three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great im
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. Of course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time I am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

Two Advertising Truths.
A soap millionaire and an actor
manager were talking business.
“I,” said the actor manager, “have
discontinued the use of posters. My
announcements appear in the news
papers exclusively. I have learned
that those who don't read the papers
don't go to the theater.”
“You are wise,” said the soap mil
lionaire. “And I do like you. Long
since I discarded every form of ad
vertisement save that of the press,
finding that they who didn't read a
daily paper had no use for soap.”
The night hawk makes no nest at
all, simply laying its eggs in a slight
depression in the ground. The eggs
look so much like small stones that
they pass undetected by the searcher.

Her Pointed Retort.
When the old lady put her head out
of the window and inquired of the
young railway porter what the train
was stopping for the young man
thought he would have a little fun at
the old lady’s expense.
“Engine was out late last night,
ma'am,' he remarked with a smile,
“so she’s got a thirst on her thi^
morning; they’re giving ’er a drop o'
wTine.”
“Ah! it’s water,’ said the old lady.
“If you'll wait a minutte, ma'am,’
he grinned, “I'll inquire whether
they’re givin’ her port wine.”
“Never mind,’ came the answer,
“don’t you trouble, young man. I
thought perhaps by the way we’ve
been getting along she was run on
sloe gin!’—London Tit-Bits.
The Goat Comes First.
Switzerland is the only country in
the world where the goat is placed
ahead of all other animals, and even
of human beings. If a boy plagues
a goat he can be fined and sent to jail.
If a person meets a goat on a path,
and drives him aside he can be arrest
ed.
If a goat enters the yard of a person
not his owner and is hit with club or
stone the person guilty of the offence
must pay 30 cents. If a railroad train
sees a goat on the t.-ack the train
must halt until the animal can be
coaxed to remove himself. There’s
many a boy in America who wishes he
were a goat in Switzerland.
Bobby’s Viewpoint.
The theater was brilliant with col
ored lights and overflowing with a
gay commencement throng. The
stage was crowded with a class of 200
boys and their teachers. Among the
graduates was John, the big brother
of little Bobby, who was surveying
the scene with bulging eyes. He
snuggled up to his father and in a
stage whisper asked:
“Papa, isn't it nice that so many
people came to John's commence
ment?’’ -

Not Comfortable.
“I'm going off into the mountains
this summer and get close to the
heart of nature,” said the dreamy girl.
“I once went off into the mountains
to get close to the heart of nature,”
said the matter-of-fact man. “I sought
the woods and lay down close to her
throbbing bosom. But I found she was
full of red bugs and other penetrating
insects. So I arose and gloomily
sought the artificial city.”
That an article may be good as well
as cheap, and give entire satisfaction,
is proven by the extraordinary sale of
Defiance Starch, each package con
taining one-third more Starch than
can be had of any other brand for the
same money.
Quite the Contrary.
“Borus, I haven’t had time yet to
read that last novel of yours. How
did it end—happily?”
“No, Naggus; it ended tragically.
The total sales were 17 copies.”
