boauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great

BOY INVENTORS.
How Two Country Lads Gained Fame
and Fortune.
A boy's elders are guilty of a foolish
act when they snub him because he
says or does something which they
don't understand. A boy's personal
ity is entitled to as much respect as
a man's, so long as he behaves him
self. Some of the most important Inven
tions have been the work of boys. The

Door.
invention of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by a mere
boy. Newcome's engine was In very
incomplete condition from the fact
that there was no way to open or
close the valves except by means of
levers operated by the hand.
Newcome set up a large engine at
one of the mines, and a boy, Humph
rey Potter, was hired to work these
valve levers; although this was not
hard work, yet it required his constant
attention.
As he was working the levers he
saw that parts of the engine moved in
the right direction, and at the same
time might be made to open or close
the valves.
He procured a strong cord, and
made one end fast to the proper part
of the engine, and the other end to
the valve lever; and then he had the
satisfaction of seeing the engine move
with perfect regularity of motion.
A short time after, the foreman
came around and saw the boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the
engine, he saw the ingenuity of the
boy - and also the advantage of so
great ah' invention.
The idea suggested by the boy's in
ventive genius led to putting it in
practical form, and made the steam
engine an automatic working ma
chine. The power loom is the invention of
a. farmer's boy who had never seen
or heard of such a thing, says the
Detroit Free Press. He whittled out
one with his Jack knife, and. after he
had got it all done, he with great en
thusiasm showed it to his father, who
at once kicked it to pieces, saying
that he would have no boy about him
who would spend his time on such
foolish things. -
The boy was sent to a blacksmith to
learn a trade, and his master took a
lively interest in him. He made a
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed it
to his master.
The blacksmith saw he had no com
mon lad as an apprentice and that
the invention was a valuable one. He
had a loom constructed under the su
pervision of the boy.
It worked to their perfect satisfac
tion, and the blacksmith furnished
the means to manufacture the loom,
and the boy received half the profits.
In about a year the blacksmith wrote
to the boy's father that he should
bring with him a wealthy gentleman,
who was the inventor of the cele
brated power loom.
You may bo able to judge of the
astonishment at the old home when
his son was presented to him as the
Inventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces but a year be
fore. EASY TO DO.
Hang Your Hat on a Lead Pencli
Try It.
Take a smooth hexagon lead pencil,
one without either rubber or metal end.
and place it
against a door or
window casing;
then with a firm,
heavy pressure
slide the pencil
some 3 or 4 Inches
and it will stay as
if glued to the cas
ing. You may now
hang your hat on
the end of the pencil.
When you slide the pencil along the
casing do it without any apparent ef
fort and it will appear to your audi
ence as though you had hypnotized
it. This, says Popular Mechanics, is
a very neat trick if performed right.

GIRL DEFIED AN ARMY.
Pretty Charlotte Hiilman Asked Toll
for Soldiers and the Bill Was Paid.
It is related that the army, headed
by Sheridan and his staff, left Win
chester by the valley pike early In
the morning, the column moving to
ward Stephens City. Just as day was
approaching the staff reached the toll
gate and was discomfited by a young
and beautiful girl, Charlotte Hiilman,
famed locally for her girlish charms.
Even the war-hardened Sheridan
seems not to have been proof against
the persuasion of a pair of black eyes
and a pretty face, and when toll was
demanded straightway produced the
tithe, setting an example that was fol
lowed by his staff.
"But," said Sheridan, as he passed
through the gate, "I cannot vouch lor
my army."
When the common, soldiery came
the girl again lowered the toll bar and
demanded toll. This was met by jeers
from the guard. All . day the dusty
troopers passed through, and all day
Charlotte Hiilman stood at her post.
For every ten soldiers who passed
through the gate she cut a notch in the
toll pole. Early fled beyond the Blue
Ridge with the remains of his disor
ganized army; in the valley of Vir
ginia, Lee, beaten back by Grant's
overwhelming numbers, gave up the
fight; in the. southeast Joe Johnston
fired the last burlesque shots and
peace came again over the north and
south. Then, when relations with
Washington had been re-established
and the administration's policy was
one of magnanimity, Charlotte Hill
man counted the notches in the toll
pole and sent her bill to Washington.
And the bill was paid.
MILK BOTTLE ICE BOX.
It Doesn't Cost Much, But It Does the
Business.
At a cost of from 25 to 50 cents
anyone can make one of these milk
bottle ice boxes. Any ordinary wood
en box about 13 by 18 inches, with a
depth of 12 inches, can be obtained
from your grocer. In the bottom of
this box place plenty of sawdust, and
on this set a tin pail or can that is
eight inches in diameter and high

enough to take in a quart bottle of
milk. The pail must rest on sawdust,
and not on the bottom of the box.
Place a cylinder of tin around the pail,
which is a little larger than the pail,
and pack sawdust about the cylinder,
filing the space full up to the level of
the top of the pall. Fasten with nails
or tacks about. 50 layers of newspapers
to the -Minder ' side of the box - cover.
The milk bottle is set in the pail and
broken ice packed about it. An ice
box of this description, says Popular
Mechanics, will hold two quart bot
tles of milk. It will take about two
cents a day to operate this cooling
device.
Not Wholly Careless.
Thomas Chett was a meek but care
less clerk, who, through no greater
fault than carelessness, was continu
ally blundering in his work. His most
usual mistake was to misdirect let
ters, either by substituting a wrong
street - number,, or .by. writing, say,
"Cal." for "Col." One day, says Youth's
Companion, his employer laid on his
desk a letter which had been over a
month in the mails without reaching
its destination and all because of
Thomas' error.
"Now, this thing has got to stop,'
said his employer. "Such delays
waste time and money. If you had
used an envelope . which hadn't had
our address in the corner, we might
never have known where this letter
went to."
"That's true," assented the humble
clerk. "But 1 am always careful to
use that kind of envelope, just for that
reason."
Being a little slow of comprehension,
he did not understand why his patient
employer bit his lip and turned away
smiling.
Conflicting Evidence.
A learned judge was explaining the
intricacies or evidence to a young
friend, says the Washington Star, and
gave the following story in regard to
conflicting evidence
'Usually, he said, one statement is
far more probable than the other, so
that we can decide easily which to be
lieve. It is like the boy and the house-
hunter. The house-hunter, getting off
a traiu at a suburban station, said to
a boy:
"My lad, I am looking for Mr.
Smithson's new block of semi-detached
houses. How far are they
from here?"
"About 20 minutes' walk," the boy
replied.
"Twenty minutes!" exclaimed the
house-hunter. "Nonsense! The ad
vertisement says five."
"Well," said the boy, "you can be
lieve me or you can believe the adver
tisement; but I ain't tryin' to make a
sale."

PERFECT HEALTH.
After Years of Backache, Dizziness
and Kidney Disorders.
Mrs. R. C. Richmond, of North wood,
towa, says: "tor years I was a
martyr to kidney
trouble, backache,
dizzy spells, head
aches and a ter
rible bearing-down
pain. I used one
remedy after an
other without bene
fit. Finally I used
a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills and the backache ceased.
Encouraged, I kept on, and by the
time I had used three boxes not a
sign of the trouble remained. My
health is perfect."

Clergyman's Particular Reason for
Omitting the Fifth Verse.
A clergyman In an interior town
married a woman from whom he re
ceived a dowry of $10,000 and, a pros
pect of more. Shortly afterwards,
while occuoving the Dulpit. he gave
out a hymn, read the first verse and
proceeded to read the fifth, com
mencing: "Forever let , my grateful heart,"
then he hesitated and exclaimed:
"The choir will omit tho fifth verse."
Some of the congregation read the
verse for themselves and smiled asj
they read: '
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years Face Was All
Raw Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cuticura Effected Cure.
"When my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then I took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we "could not get" a "night's sleep' in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou
ble will never return. Mrs. John G.
Klumpp, 80 Niagara St.,, Newark, N.

EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.
A correspondent writes the Winni
peg (Man.) Free Press: "The Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern Al
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about 25 years, is excelling itself this'
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to 50, 60 and over, and most of it No.
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. It
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Man's River to
the boundary will be 47 or 48 bushels
per acre, and mostly . No. 1 Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than tho selling price of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
it, and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the .Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, , and gar
den truck. - Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan
tages, and has Invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow."
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
It about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 160
acres in addition to his 160 home
stead acres, at $3.00 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. It might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger,
who made a trip through portions of it
In July, 1908. "Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu
merous drives through the great grain
field's, we were made to realize not
only tbe magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory . opening, : and I to :be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul
tivation, but there is room for mil
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many, business -men and
fanners who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of tbe
country."
