was very cold, she had been anxious
about him. Then the search for the
lost Indian began. He was found
in one of the sheds near the
barn, under heap of drifted snow,
and tho chances are that tho snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. Tho searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions, and it was
his own squaw who, with true Indian
instinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Ap-
parently the Indian was frozen corpse.
She tumbled him out of his snow-bank
and pulled off his blankets, and dragged
him down to tho creek, where deep
hole was cut in the ice for tho purpose

about two miles from the log house In
which my unfortunate relatives lived.
AT the time that speak of my friends
were three old bachelors who lived to-
gether in n log house in what was then
"a Wilderness and what is now one OF
the finest portions of farming country
that can be seen anywhere. The
oldest of tho three brothers did
the cooking and the other two did the
work of clearing and planting and har-
vesting. This banishment did not at
all affect me. rather liked it. nov

that was great thing in itself. When

i remembered for many a day, but it
was given entirely on the impulse of
the moment and was more of the nature
of surprise than any thing else.
1t happened in this way: One of the
brothers was at the barn and he wanted
some particular bolt or wrench or some
thing of that sort from the tool-chest
which was in the house. Now, hap
pened to be in the house at that time
and was sitting on this tool-chest, which
was in a dark corner of tho building. /
heard the ealing from the barn, and the
brother who did the housekeeping went
to the door of the log-house to see what
the matter was. Then heard him an
swer that he did not know whore l was,
and finally he stood at the door and
shouted my name so that it could be
heard all over the fields and out to the
woods; but was deep in very inter-
esting book, which l had managed to
get in some way or another, and read
that lying on the tool chest while a lit
tie ray of light came through the dark

of tho book. 1 was too entirely COM

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
One GlassTul Gives More Real Strength
Than Barrel of Beer.

One Glassrul Gives More Real Strength
Than Barrel of Beer.
Don't swallow milk fast and in such
big gulps. Sip it slowly. Take four
minutes at least to finish that glassful,
and don't take more than good tea
spoonful at one sip.
When milk goes into your stomach it
is instantly curdled. If you drink a
large quantity at once, it is curdled in
to one big mass, on the outside of which
only the juices of the stomach can work.
If you drink it in little sips, each little
sip is curdled up by itself, and the whole
glassful finally finds itself in loose
lump made up of little Jumps, through
around and among which the stomach's
juices may percolate and dissolve the
whole speedily and simultaneously.
Many people, who like milk and know
its value as strength-giver, think they
can not use it because it gives them in.
digestion. Most of them could use it
freely if they would only drink it in the
way l have described, or if they would,
better still, drink it hot. Hot milk
seems to lose a good deal of its density:
you would almost think it had been
watered; and it also seems to lose much
of its sweetness, which is cloying TO
some appetites.
If the poor only knew and appre.
ciated the value of milk taken in this
way, i am sure there would not be so
much beer-drinking among them. There
are thousands of hard-working scrub
women, wash-women, factory girls and
even shop girls, in this city, who drink
beer with their meals because it gives
little stimulant to their tired bodies,
and don't understand that it is only like
applying whip to a weary horse, in
stead of giving him oats. If they only
knew, they would find in this simple
draught as much real strength as in a
barrel of beer.-N. Y. Tribune.

aess time than It takes to tell it, and
igave mo then and there very deserved
1hrashing.
But what gave the place the charm
that it had for me was tho fact of tho
frequent visits of the Indians. These
men who owned the farm, although they
came from the western highlands of
Scotland and had never seen an Indian
before leaving that country, yet appeared
TO know how to treat them, and they
managed to get along with a rather tur-
bulent tribe which was encamped In the
neighborhood, in way that commanded
my admiration up to tho present time

village the Indians would have num-
ber of jugs of whisky with them, and
then there was sure to be trouble. They

"Robbing Peter to Pay Paul"

This expression arose thus: On De-
cember II, 1910, the abbey church of St.
Peter, Wes stminster, was advanced to
the dignity of cathedral by letters
patent; but ten years later it was joined
to the diocese of London again, and
many of it's estates appropriated to the
repairs of st. Pauls Cathedral. One
hundred years later, in 1640, we find him
in "Outlandish Proverbs" selected by
George Herbert, priest and poet OF
classic renown, the subject of one OF
"Wilton's Lives" the proverb altered
and set forth as follows: Give not st.
Peter so much, to leave st. Paul moth

els Rabelais early in the sixteenth cent

The Indians were never troublesome
and neser stole any thing. For them
the latchstring always hung out, and
they went in and out of the house at all

in the early morning in the cold winter
days we would find when we got up
that an Indian had been there and left
quarter of venison on the floor, or per-

A Snow-Capped Mountain Peak Under an

When the scientific world laughed at
the humble missionary Rebmann, who
reported over forty years ago that he
had found snow-crowned mountain
under the equator, he merely replied:

ought to know snow-capped peak when
/ see one" That was the first event in
the history of modern discovery in Cen.
trail Africa, and it is only within the
past few weeks that we have had the de-
tails of DIR. Hans Meyers final triumph
over Kilima-Njaro, whose snowy Kibo
domo mad defeated the efforts of num-
ber of explorers.
Rebmann would have felt repaid for all
the ridicule that was showered upon him
if he could have seen DR.. Meyers COM
his ice-aXe and rope and snow spectaclcs,
cutting steps up the steep icy slope.
Both climbers paused to rest every ten
minutes, because the rarity of the air
made continuous effort impossible. In
these periods of rest they could dimly
see the far-distant plains through the
openings in the clouds below them.
Then, when on their second attempt,
three days after their first effort, they
reached the highest point in Africa,
about 1860 feet above tho sea, they
found themselves on the edge of great
crater over mile across and $50 feet
deep, the icy mantle sinking in terraces
from the edge of tho crater to the floor,
while through great gap in the west
wall a mighty glacier about a miie and
u half long swept down tho mountain
side.
Seen from below, the top of Kibo looks
like great snow dome, and no one ever
imagined that an abyssmal crater would
be found there until Meyer stood on its
edge.-London Times.
