which Was witch.

Langdon and myself had discovered In
Becker County, Mimi, small lake,
which, from Its general wierd appearance.
hemmed In by tamarnck swamps, and
from certain mysterious things seen and
noises heard In the dusky twilight, we
had named Witch Lake. It was swarm
Ing with fish, and when, on our return
thence to Detroit City, we found party
Of home friends from Dakota there, we
returned to the lake to give them some
sport. In the evening as we sat upon the
shore, NJ, who had a slight impediment In
his speech, turned to me:
"Wh-wh-wh-at do you call this lake"
witch Lake"
"Wh-wh-wh-y, th-th-th-is one"
witch Lake"
"Th-th-th-is one, l say. r-r-r-r-lght

And say Witch Lake"
"C-c-c-c-confound 1t, th-th-th-th-is one,
where we've b-b-b-een fishing"
Witch, witch, Lake, lake, Witch

oh" as Langdon's suppressed laugh
broke FORTH and he realized which was

"In riding In the street-cars you have
no doubt seen passengers, particularly
women, take a piece OF coin from a

"Why2"
Did you ever for moment think" con-

could carry the gold TO the tailor. for they
thought how happy they would be II It
was not for their constant dread OF cats.
Another meeting was held, and the
counsellor, as usual, did all the talking.
She said:
1T would require much gold to buy the
house. and we should be obliged 10 make
many trips to the cellar. and run great
risk OF losing our lives before we could
carry all the gold here. But we shall
mark the place where the gold Is buried.
and then tailor Schnapps can find the
chest himself. We shall. through Mina's
friendship. persuade Katrine TO keep
Schnurrdiburr out OF our way. Then
Rappelchen shall go to our cousin, who

The Castor OIL Plant.

No sort Of bird, beast or creeping thing
will touch castor oil plant. 1t seems TO
be rank poison to all the animal world.
Even a goat will starve before biting off a
leaf and horse will sniff at it and turn
up his upper lip as though it had the most
detestable odor on the face Of the EARTH
Army worms and the locusts will pass it
by, though they may eat every other
green thing in sight, and there is no surer
way to drive moles away from lawn
thar to plant few castor beans here and
there. Even the tobacco worm will refuse
to be fed on its leaves. There is hardly
another instance in natural history OF
plant being so universally detested by the
animal world.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

How the Discovery OF One 81 Them Fus~
nishcd resd for Stanley.
During the very hungriest time spent
by Stanleys expedition in going through
the dense forest 1t happened that the dis
proved truly providential.
Upon approaching one OF the settle
ments OF these people, the natives. fearing
that the Arabs were upon them, hastily
retreated to the depths Of the Jungle,
leaving In the village one of the young
children. He was an ungainly little crea-
ture, and from Saleh's description had an
enormously big head, protrudiny lower
jaw, lean frame and ungainly fat body.
The Zanzibaris sat about In detected
groups, complaining of their present hard
existence, and the sad contrast OF o-day
with their Joyous life in their island home
away in the Indian Ocean.
The little Teki-Teki (pigmy), although
not more than years old, was busily
searching for something In the dry
leaves. The Zanzibaris were attracted by
the child's activity. Presently the sparkle
Of his eyes and the increased earnestness
Of his hunt showed that he had been sue
cessful; and, indeed, he returned to the
campfire carrying lot OF pods like
enormous beans. These he scraped to O
fine powder, which he damped. rolled In
some big leaves, and then toasted in the
ashes. When cooked to his satisfaction
he opened the dainty package and the
whole camp became filled with the pleas
ant odor of this new dish. The men OF
the expedition then closed around and,
much to the young Tekl-Kekis disgust.
helped themselves to tasting pinch.
The Zanzibaris knew the tree quite well I;
1t, was the "makneme," This new discov-
cry brought CLEAN of hope to the hearts
OF these hungry beings. The capture OF
the tiny woodsman was n godsend, and
Saleh said that had this unhappy little
creature but fairly un derstood their Ian
guage he would have been overwhelmed
with the heartfelt blessings siowered on
him. few days afterward another tribe
OF these same small peope was met, and
the child was handed over to them to be
returned TO his parents.-E J. Glade In

The general public does not know, per-

the world which makes absolutely pure
sugar. This mandatory is in Germany,
and it supplies chemists and druggists
with sugar for solutions which must be

it Is dirty, grayish white in appearance.
