drove over to Eckland township, Burleigh
county. He was agreeablv surprised at,
the sight Of Ane dwellings,, good stables
and barns; plenty Of cattle. horses, sheep,
and hogs: we'll fenced, farms, with large
acreage under Observation-Disclosures every
quarter section had from three TO four
oontented and prosperous families res
idlng thereon. The settlement Of Eck-
land township commenced about twelve
years ago. and since that date a crop fail
urs is unknown there. They have soil
that holds moisture we'll, which is their
good fortune, though in the growing sea
son they seem to almost always have
sufficient rainfsll for anv soil.
At Slaughter post once the Leader man
was handsomely Entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Olson. He was shown tho new Lu-
therein church, handsome edi6ce, presi-
ded over by the Rsv. sponberg, a.popular

On his return, the reporter, as he made
his way through the adjoining township
of Monteaors, in Mclean, whore the soil
seemed, and is fully as good as Ecklund,
the rainfall Just a abundant; tho grasses
just as nutricious; and wondered that II
should contain 80 few people 1t this time.

shed. The down-tumbling flakes could
cover the cleared track so fast that once
the plough got stuck 1t couldn't back
out, and would have to be dug out by
snow shovellers when the storm had
ceased. I have seen two story houses
completely covered by the snow, and
telegraph poles buried out of sight
Often in the oanons houses are reached
through long tunnels in the snow. One
night guide led me through one of
these tunnels, and I was amazed to find
myself suddenly transferred from a
waste Of wearying whiteness into a
brilliantly lighted bar-room filled with
men, which was the ante-room to big
dining establishment and part of the
lower floor of large uncomfortable

Clever Little Animals Who Patiently Try
to Eat Walnuts.

Clever Little Animals Who Patiently Try
to Eat Walnuts.
In front of me as I write have tray
full of shells that have been rifled by
the nut crackers of the avenue, says
writer in the Contemporary Reciec.
Those with the large, irregular rent
and some with the whole side ripped
off, with jagged edges, are the squirrels
work; these with the round, oval holes
have been plundered by mice.
But it is curious to note how often
the same shell has another hole, much
smaller and perfectly round, on the
other side and nearer the small end.
Why was this? Did the mouse get all
it could reach out through the big hole
at the big end and then-like Isaac
Newton with the large door for the cat
and little one for the kitten-take the
trouble to nibble little hole in the
very hardest part of the nutshell to get
at the rest of the nut
The squirrel could have turned the
nut upside down and let the kernel
drop out. I wonder the mice have not
given up eating nuts long ago. The
labor they expend is enormous. But
they do not care for trouble apparently.
Note these walnuts. Each has two
little round holes, one on each shell,
nearest the sharp point end of the nut,
and it is easy to see what happened.
The mouse nibbled one hole, ate what
it could reach-very little indeed-and
then found that for some reason or
another the walnut was fastened inside
to the shell. So then it tried the other
side, with exactly the same result, and
then it left the nut in disgust. But this
did not prevent it attacking the next
walnut in precisely the same way, with
precisely the same barren results, and
the next, and the next, and the next.
The partitions inside the nut prevented
the mouse getting at the kernel, but it
did not desiat from trying. On the
other hand, absolutely useless work is
never, SO far as I know, done by the
mice.
never found an empty nut or bad
one that they had attempted. Tho
squirrel, on the other hand, does not
care how "high" the nuts are. But
when we think that the squirrel relishes
young fir cones, with turpentine oozing
out at every pore, we can appreciate the
dura lila with which nature has blessed
the merry little forester.

GIVE EVERY TOOTH A CHANCE.


Sir Andrew Says that Every Morsel of
Food Should Receive SO Bites.
Sir Andrew Clark, President of the
Royal College of Physicians and Sur
geons, is said to have told Mr.. Glad
stone that he had one mouth, but thir-
ty.two teeth, and that each mouthful
of food should receive thirty-two bites
in order to give every tooth chance.
A correspondent of The Youths Com
panion writes that he was recently cog
infant of an excellent proof of the
truth of this statement.
A sallow faced, unhappy looking
man came to DIR. BIS office one day
when the writer CHANGED to be present.
He wanted some medicine for dyspepsia.
Among other questions the doctor
asked:
How long time do you usually
spend at dinner?"
Il dunno exactly" replied the pa
tient; ten or fifteen minutes, guess.
Does your food taste good?" DIR.
B. asked.
That it does" was the reply, "but
half an hour after I've eaten I'm near
dying with distress.
DO you drink much with your food
tea, coffee or water?"
"a pretty considerable amount" an
swered the man.
Yours is a grave case," said the doc.
tor, but I can help you if you'll fol-
low my directions.
DIR. B gave the man dark col
ored mixture in bottle and said: Now,
it is of the utmost importance that this
medicine be taken properly. Put
teaspoonful in your cup of tea or coffee
at each meal; stir it in thoroughly and
with each mouthful of food take very
small sip and then chew. chew, chew,
in order to mix it completely with the
food. Do this and report to me in a
week."
Two weeks later saw this dyspeptic
again, but I scarcely recognized him,
he was so much improved in looks.
That medicine of yours works like
a CHARM" he said to the doctor. I've
about forgotten that I have stom-
ach."
That's good, responded DR.. b.
Continue taking it in the same way for
three months and you'll be we'll man. !"
Then, as the man went out, DR..
b said to me:
The whole story in that mans cure
is in the word mastioation. 1t is mere
ly what I said to him-chew, chew,
chew. But he wouldn't have believed
it without the medicine, which was the
simplest. The man WAS boiling his
food and I stopped it. I've cured hun
dreds of dyspeptics in similar way.
Indeed most dyspeptics might cure
themselves if they would give every
tooth chance-thirty-two bites to q
mouthful, with two for every tooth
missing"

He Recovered Hope.

He was in love with the girl and she
was not unwilling. but she had given
no sign.
He was so difident that really she
had had no opportunity.
One evening they sat alone in little
bower of roses
II dreamed of you last night, he said
tentatively.
How nice - she responded in that
exasperating way which is so inexpres-
sive.
Yes ?" he faltered questioningly.
Tell me what you dreamed" she
prettily commanded.
Il thought we were sitting together
on the banks of beautiful stream" he
said, low and unanimously, las the
sun was sinking away to rest in the
purpling stars, and we talked of birds
and music, of flowers and of love.
Your face glowed as if great light
shone in it, but when I spoke of love
you grew cold and distant and could
feel the chill air touch my heart and
see the buds of my hope wither in the
frost of your disapproval. I knew then
how useless was all ! could do, bow
futile was effort, but urged on by that
mysterious power no man can explain
and none resist. l cast the fatal die
and asked you to be mine. He stopped
moment, trembling.
And what did say ?" she asked.
NO" and his voice grew husky and
his lips quivered.
She put out her hands to him softly.
Dreams go by contraries, dear, she
murmured, and DO took her in.-De-
