Liebig Compauy's Extract Of Beef
For twenty-five years the standard for excellence

Then, lighting the torch, they set off
for home.
Let me carry the rifle, father; you
have enough to do with that heavy
torch and the pc It's" said Margery,
who, like many forest-bred girls Of
those troublous times, was perfectly
familiar wit b the use of firearms.
All the way, as they went along, they
could hear the rustling tread and
whimpering yells of providing wolves,
and once an unusually bold one cam
near enough for the light to shine
his fiery, green eyes.
''Shoot, Madge. Quick.' said Robert
Lee; and, coolly as a veteran, the little
maid threw up her rifle and sent a
bullet squarely between the g~listening
balls, the distance being less than forty
feet.
Pretty good, my little woman ex-
claimed the delighted father; and the
reeking pelt vas added to the others.
A well-made, hickory-bark torch, six
feet long, will, on a still night, burn
two hours; aEd hat of our weary
travellers was still of a ''holdable'
length when they reached the edge of
their clearing. Now, as agreed
upon with his wife, the successful
searcher fred off his rifle three times in
succession as quickly as he could load,
and away through the stump, log
strewed field, with fiaring light and re-
covered child, he hurried toward the
cabin.
But the watching mother could not
wait. Crying aloud in the sweet agony
of her boundless joy, and closely fol-
lowed by little Walter, she ran out to
meet her rescued darling; and there en-
sued a scene such as angels may re-
joice over but mortal man cannot de-
scribe.
In conclusion. l may say hat Mrs.
Lee was my grandaunt, a sister of my
mothers mother, and that from her.
her husband and from Margery herself,
who died two years ago, aged ninety, l
have frequently heard all the above
particulars. Moreover, in regard to the
historically disputed question as to who
killed Tecumseh, Robert Lee has re-
peatedly told me that, to his certain
knowledge, this formidable chief was
slain by Col. Richard M. johnson. of the
Kentucky cavalry, while that gallant
officer was himself lying severely
wounded on the ground.-W. Thomson,
in N. Y. Ledger.

Stub Ends of Thought.

A kind word is a crutch to a cripple.
Stand fast is greater than get there.
Spring time is the music time of all
the year.
One touch of money makes the whole
world grin.
Do the right thing first and reason
about it afterwards.
A rose bud is natures thought, the
full bloom is its expression.
There will be music in the heart al
ways if you touch the right strings.
When Cupid finds a heart which he
cannot shoot an arrow into he goes
away and cries.
There's more true religion in giving
sixteen nce to the pound than there
is in contributing one thousand dollars
toward building a fine church.
Satan would rather have one beauti-
full woman work for him than ten thou
sand men.-Detroit Free Press.

A Matter of Investments.

Tommy lat the barn)-Papa, is this
the finest team in town?
Tommy's Father-No, but there isn't
any finer. Those horses, my boy, cost
me eight hundred dollars. They're a
perfect match, high-spirited, good trav-
elers, and come of a famous ancestry.
That's why you've got such a nice
barn for EN-, isn't it?"
Eyes, partly. A pair of fine horses,
my son, must be considered as a good
investment, and a good business man
always takes care of his Investments"
"And that's why you watch 'em so
much and drive on the boulevard with
'em, and keep EN- looking so slick isn't
it?"
Eyes. that's on the same principle. A
careful man is bound to look well after
his investments and see that they are
always in good shape
(After some c~ogitation). "You don't
consider me much of an investment, do
you, papaf"-Chicago Tribune.

night and throughout the. next day,
with only her poor shawl for a wrap,
while her bloodthirsty besiegers always
ragged below, the brave little soul sat
there, not daring to sleep, nearly per-
ishing with cold and having nothing to
eat except the trifling remnants of her
corr bread. All this the happy father
heard while he built up a huge fire and
warmed and fed the half-famished child.
By the time she was completely re-
freshed night had fallen, and she anx-
iously asked:
"How far are we from home, father?
Poor mother will be dreadfully fright
ened about us!''
LESS than three miles. my pet.
Well be there in an hour or two"
but, father, the wolves will eat us
up if We leave the fire."
1--WE will take a good fire with us,
Madge."
And stepping to a large hickory tree.
the experienced hunter stripped off a
quantity of the hanging bark, which,
by the aid of leatherwood thongs, he
quickly formed into a long torch.
do you think you can walk home,
Madge? If not, | can easily,carry you;
but should like to save these pelts."
"Oh, yes, father. / feel just as strong
as ever now, only very sleepy" replied
the hardy girl. Don't leave such nice
furs behind.'
So, while the father skinned the two
wolves, Margery cuddled down by the
fire and took a comfortable little sleep.

Thibodaux Sentinel.
THE MODEL HUSBAND,

Most wives viii end their story with:
"Ah, well, ncz are but human
long to tell the secret OF
A truly happy woman.
Through all the sunshine-lighted years,
Lived now in retrospection,
Ny husbands word brought never tears
Nor caused a sad reflection.
Whate'er the burdens of the day,
U~nf1inching, calm and steady,
To bear his part-the larger half
always find him ready.
House-cleaning season brings no frown,
No sarcasm, pointed keenly;
Through carpets up, and lacks lead down,
He makes his way serenely.
Our evenings pass in converse sweet
Or quiet contemplation,
We never disagree except
To keep up conversation"
And dewy morn of radiant June,
Fair moonlight of September,
April with bird and brook atune,
Stern, pitiless December
Each seems to my adoring eyes
Some new grace to discover,
For he unchanging through The years
Is still my tender lover.
So life no shadows hold, though we
Have reached the side that's shady;
My husband? Oh! q dream is he,
And I'm a maiden lady.
Eleanor M. Denny, in Ladies' Home Journal

BITS OF SOUND SENSE
Don't Try to Have the Last Word, and
Avoid Useless Explanations.

Don't Try to Have the Last Word, and
Avoid Useless Explanations.
A young girl once heard a bit of wis
dom from the lips of an aged woman
a who had rounded the full
term of ninety years. and with eyes
still bright clear looked out upon the
inrolling waters of eternity. The girl
was impressed by the emphasis with
which the venerable dame said to her:
Bessie, never insist on having the last
word" The determination to have the
final word leads to more quarrek and
more bitterness of feeling at home
than almost anything else in domestic
life. The fact is, that one may
so control her tongue and her
eyes h a she may allow her OPP
ponent the pleasure of this coveted con-
Guiding thrust and yet placidly retain
her own opinion, and in the homely col
loquial parlance Of the up-country.
where n finds strong-willed people
living together in great peace with the
most pronounced diversity of charac-
teristics, do as she's a mind to-"
Another bit of wisdom may be con-
densed into a pithy sentence. Avoid
explanations. In some families moth
ing is taken for granted. Every action.
every decision, every new departure,
every acceptance or rejection of an in
vitation must be endlessly explained and
re-explained. In that way lie all sorts
of stumbling-blocks. AS a rule. beyond
your parents or your husband there is
nobody who has the right to demand of
you explanations at each step of your
onward path. Don't give them. Estab-
lish a reputation for keeping your own
counsel. 1t will serve you well in many
a crisis, and be no end of a comfort.
Again, don't be forever setting people
right. There is a household fiend with
a memory for dates and details, who
can never sit still and hear papa saw
that he went down town on Monday at
eight without correcting the statement
with the remark that the hour was
half-past. If mamma happens to allude
to Cousin Jenny's visit as having oc-
CURED last Thursday, this wasp-like
representation of accuracy inter
poses with the statement that it
was Friday, not Thursday. which
brought Cousin Jane. A dozen times
a day e~xasperating frictions are
caused by needless corrections of this
sort. referring to matters where exact
ness is not really imperative, the affairs
in question being unimportant, and no
violation of truth being for an instant
intended.
A manifest bit of wisdom is to re-
frain from criticism of food. The sauce
may not be quite piquant enough, the
salad may be wilted, but in the name
Of decency say nothing about it in eth
er case.
Silence is golden in nearly every in
stance where a defect obtains in the
home economy.
Toabstain from superfuous apologies
is also the habit of discretion. There
should seldom be the occasion for apollo
gy in the household, where all would
do well and wisely to be constantly
gentle and courteous.-Harper's Bazaar.

a region for the most part covered by
primeval forests, though there were
quite extensive white settlements at
and around Moravian Town, not a great
many miles from his little ''clearings."
On the 5th of October, 1918, was
fought the battle of the Thames, where
in Maj. Gen. William Henry Harrison
defeated the British forces, under Gen.
Proctor, and their Indian allies, led by
the famous Tccumseh, who was himself
slain.
After the battle, the destitute, demon
allied savages, hitherto held together
in some sort of order by the strong hand
of the great chief, roamed over the ad-
jacent country in search of food, and
soon became nearly as dangerous to
friends as foes, many of the hard-work-
ing settlers being reduced to absolute
penury by.their exactions, which none
dared resist.
At this time Robert Lee and his wife
had two children, Margery, thirteen.
and Walter, nine years of age. The
husband and father having joined the
Canadian volunteers, and coming home
only at long intervals, Mrs. Lee was often
left alone with these children to strug-
gle against the difficulties of backwoods
life as best she could. Early one morn
ing, about a week after the Thames af-
fair, she was busted with her household
duties, when she saw coming ~leisurely
toward the cabin a band of twenty-five
49,
chief named Wah-ne-ga-tah, whom she
knew by sight. At this moment, Mar
gerry and Walter came in at the back
door with a pail of milk just drawn
from the only two cows owned by the
family.
Hastily raising a trap in the floor,
the mother set the pail and what corn
bread she had in the little recess, re-
placed the board and, carelessly cover
ing it with a piece of old rag-carpet,
said to the children:
Here's a lot of Indians coming and
they must not see the cows. Run out
and take the bell off old Brownie, and
then drive her and Daisy a mile or so
into the woods, and come back as soon
as you can"
The barefooted youngsters scampered
away, and Mrs. Lee went quietly on
with her work until the unwelcome
visitors filed in, n by one, and
squatted around the room.
The anxious woman greeted them
pleasantly, and, in reply, the chief
sent%entiously grunted:
Ugh! We good i%njuns. White squaw
give plenty eat! Young men much hun
gry!"
Making a virtue of necessity, the con-
strained hostess speedily cooked her
whole scant stock of salt pork and corn
meal, which the dusky warriors as
quickly devoured, and then. after first
searching the cabin for further sup
plies, they stripped the ripened ears
from a little patch of still standing
corn and, greatly to her relief, went
peaceably away
Shortly afterward the children re-
turned; and when al had breakfasted
upon part of the concealed bread and
milk, their mother said:
THE Indians have left us nothing to
eat except the potatoes in the ground
they were too lazy 20 dig them, l sup
pose-and we must get word to your
father at once. Do you think hat you

tons are now practically as good as
those of its competitors. 1t still insists
on quotiag less rates than are secured
by transcontinental lines in the United
States. AS a local railway official put
the matter. in other words:
The Canadian Pacific comes into
American territory claiming a share of
the business. and is not even willing
to compete with the American
lines OH an even keel. but forces
them to stand a differential
rate, to which the Canadian ROAD is
certainly no longer entitled, if it ever
was. How strangely different this is
when it comes to business it cannot mold
on its own side of the international
boundary line. In connection with a
certain steamship line which this road
has opened up between certain trans
Pacific points and Vancouver. a passen-
ger who desires to come into the states

rate than it will make for him ii he will
go all the way acroSS the continent to
any Atlantic coast destination by way
