She Showed Him Her work,


The woman had her arms in the tub
and was fercely scrubbing one dirty
garment after another. Book agents
don't often penetrate to that part Of
Chicago, but this one did. He knocked
on the front door until he was tired,
and then he went around to the back
door. The woman was bobbing up and
down over the washboard.
Good morning, madam" said the
book agent pleasantly.
Good mornin," said the woman
shortly.
pleasant day." observed the book
agent. sparring for an opening.
Good enough" answered the wo-
man.
Excuse me, madam" said the book
agent, but have here work that I
would like to show you"
Have you?" answered the woman.
swell, I've got lot of work that I'd
like to show YOU" She took one soapy
hand out of the tub and waved it at
great pile of dirty clothes.
That's my work" went on the wo-
man. IF your work can beat that, all
right; if it can't, why, skip out"

Beavers, Teeth.

OF the cutting power Of the beavers
teeth Frank II. Risteen says in Rod
and Gun:
THE beaver is really a sort of porta-
BILE pulp mill. grinding up most any
kind of wood that comes his way. I
once measured white birch tree, %
inches through. cut down by a beaver.
A single beaver generally, if not al
ways, amputates the tree, and when it
comes down the whole family fall to
and have a regular frolic with the bark
and branches. A big beaver will bring
down fair sized sapling, say three
inches through, in about two minutes
and large tree in about an hour
"One of the queerest facts about the
beaver is the rapidity with which his
long. chisel shaped teeth will recover
from an injury. l have known beavers
to break their teeth in biting a trap,
and when l caught them again ten
days afterward you couldn't see sign
of the break. The teeth had grown out
to their former perfection in that short
period"

curiositie. of the cacao Tree.

The cultivation of cacao, says writer
in The Scientific American, is an invit-
Ing agricultural pursuit in Trinidad
and parts of Venezuela. The cacao tree
cannot withstand strong sunshine, and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later,
when they attain their growth. by tall
trees known as ''immortelles." or the
mother of the cacao." These make a
kind of canopy over the entire planta-
ton. The fruit of the cacao tree is pod
resembling cucumber and growing on
the trunk or large branches, where it
looks as though it were artificially at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded in pulp. These
form the cacao beans of commerce The
processes Of curing and drying require
much attention.

the following interchange of CONVERSE

his colleagues in the administration Of

Yes
what is your verdict?"
Our answer is, sir, that you can do
as you like with the men that have con-
fessed, but we acquit all the rest"
But is it possible that you have
weighed the evidence?"
Evidence like this can always be
fabricated"

prisoners it has been fabricated"

How many live swallows go to a

the subject of bet in the little town
of N. in Baden. A swallow was

ON the scales. To everybody's surprise

Tennessee,s wealth of Oak Timber

Tennessee's Wealth of Oak Timber.
One of Tennessee's richest fields of
natural resources is in its forests. Most
of her timbered land is as yet virgin.
and at the top Of the list of the varie-
ties to be found is oak. That tree is
one of the most valuable that ever
grew, and this state is more than usu-
ally rich in it.
Oak timber is practically indestructi-
Bile when no exposed to the elements
Of the atmosphere. mean that oak
timber can submerged in the ground
or buried in the water, where the at
mosphere does not affect it, and it will
last for so many years that the man
who had put it there is dead and for
gotten by the time it has decayed.
1t is a growing favorite, and deserv-
edly so, in many ways Of manufacture
ing furniture and In finishing fine
houses. The price on it is always firm,
and every now and then it makes a
squirt and climbs up point from which
it never will fall If the forests of this
tree to be found in Tennessee today are
here 90 years from now, this will be
one of the richest states in the Union
