took his rifle, ana accompanied Corn
wilcr. Mrs. Millwalte. notwlthstond-
ing her depreciation OF Tom, went 10
cheer AMI comfort his mother all she
could.
Millwaite suggested going FIRST 60
the chnrrcd stub. "You know Toms
been there" he said, "and It's the
right point 10 start from" AZ soon
ms they arrived, ban began whining
and scratching about the stub. Corn.
wilcr sternly ordered him of. and the
poor dog, probably supposing II was all
right, reluctantly obeyed. Both men
believed the stub solid. and that Tom
had merely come ana gone. The news
of the lost boy spread, and by sunrise
dozen men ana boys were securing
the woods.
After getting breakfast and doing
the housework. Clara Millwaite, who
had been thinking, concluded that
Tom must, after all. he at or near the
charred stub. "a dog never mistakes
In such matters; men do," the sensible
girl reasoned. She would go and take
d look for herself.
'lf Tom is there he'll be hungry and
thirsty" she thought, so she put q
generous breakfast and n bottle of
new milk in a bark basket.
Ban went home with Cornwiler and
Millwaite, who wished to see IL Tom
had taken his fish-llne. They found
1t gone, and their delusion as TO the
river was confirmed.
Thinking Ban OF no service, Corn
wiler left him Mt the house. and the
dog Immediately returned to the stub
and resumed his barking. Clara heard
him. and hurried TO reach the spot and
Judge for herself of the dogs behavior.
She arrived just as Tom drove n long
silver through. and put ont his fingers
for Ban to lick.
In few moments more he had the
aperture sufficiently enlarged for Clara
to pass in the bottle and slices of food.
Tom drank first-a long, thirsty pull.
Then how he did eat! with the appe-
tite OF n starved wolf and the gratitude
Of a generousminded boy. Clara bade
him give her the hatchet. and while
he ate she hacked with the skill and
strength of a pioneer girl. AS the
wall was now pierced they could chop
the edges of the shell and make faster
progress. In half an hour Tom was
able TO squeeze through.
What an object he was! Bloody.
grimy, and covered with rotten wood
from head to heels! Even his hair
was plastered with gore and dust.
Clara gathered leaves and helped him
clean 1t off as well as he could, but IL
would require severe scrub baths, and
weeks healing to make him present
able. "
While they walked home she rallied
him about his appearance, suggesting
that half the township, especially the
ladies, would be on hand to meet him.
But Tom said he guessed that as long
as she had seen him I'm this condition,
he could stand being looked at by the
other ladies'.
As for Ban, he was so absorbed that
evening with the unusually large bone
given him that he quite failed to hear
Mr. Cornwiler's compliment.

or the lamb man, gets his money In
large sums and at irregular intervals.
This tends to extravaganza in expendi-
ture. When people have lots of money
they spend lots, and when the source
is cut off they feel It severely. The
dairyman's income is more uniform
and steady, and he governs his expen-
ditures accordingly. He is not flush at
one time and totally strapped at an
other, but has modest, uniform, con-
tinuous income, and is thereby made
prosperous.
Dairying is safe business, and
therefore brings material prosperity
to person or community. People
have been financially ruined by fat
tening lambs or cattle, and, in some
instances. by growing fruit or wheat.
But no one ever heard of a man becom-
ing bankrupt in the dairy business.
These other businesses may at times
bring a larger profit, but there Is a
large element of speculation about
them. The dairy business is almost
devoid of speculation. 1t is a rather
slow, humdrum sort of business, but
II is safe. and one can put his money
into it with the assurance of modest
profit from year to year.
If crops fail in almost any other
kind of farming the farmer is fiat, but
even If all the dairyman's crops should
fail, If he has good herd of cows he
can buy all his feed and still pay ex-
penses and have a small profit besides.
Diarying may be little slow, but it
is sure.-Dairyman and Creamery.

Russia May Abolish Her Nobility.

At pres, Mt the Cars subjects are
divided into four general classes-the
nobility. the clergy, the inhabitants
Of the towns and those of the coun-
try, says st. Petersburg correspon-
dent. The nobility is itself of two
kinds, hereditary and personal. An
officer acquires life nobility on acquir-
ing a certain rank in the army or
navy. Those who attain the rank Of
colonel in the army and of captain in
the navy become hereditary mobiles. 1t
is most probable that when the pro-
posed reform of the Russian system of
class organization takes place the no.
bility will cease to exist as a separate
class in the nation.

Invention has done a vast deal to
better the condition of the farmer,
but comparatively little for the farm
erss wife. Indeed, the very multipli-
cation of the possibilities for employ
1ng men In great numbers on single
holding, through the development Of
improved implements and machinery,
has seemed only to render heavier
the load which the head of the domes-
fic establishment must carry. A Kan
sas man has at last devised a scheme
for diminishing the labor of the farm
er's wife. His plan is to introduce
bakeries and steam laundries in we'll
populated neighborhoods, SO that
when the harvest season calls for q
great increase in the number of men
employed In the fields, they may be
fed and cared for without the strain
upon the women In the household that
ls now involved. The protector be-
1ievcs that these institutions can be
nm successfully by the farmers on
xhs cooperative basis. and this should
make the men all the reader to try ar
experiment which the women must
certainly welcome.
