music was furnished by Mrs. Kline
and Mrs. Nelson, assisted by Mr.. Will
yet furnished at any of the parties in
the neighborhood.
A few excellent songs were rendered
by the vocal talent from Woods Land
ing, which would do credit to the most
elite community. There were about
fifty people present, and if anyone
thinks there are no people in this part
of the wilderness, he only has to at
tend one of the neighborhood parties
to be otherwise convinced.
Those present were Jonas Burglund

wife. James Vass and family, NJ. T.
Pryor and wife, Frank Askin and wife,
Peter Perue and family, Henry Bart

Americans a ~ longer lain the
distinction OF being the pioneers of
railway enterprises that penetrate the
trachIess wastes of the world. A
Swedish company has surpassed the
railway builders OF all the rest of the
world by constructing a line that
reaches farther north than TIE
whistle of the locomotive has ever
been heard before. Some writers
who speak of the White Pass and
Yukon road. which runs from Skag-
cay, Alaska, to White Horse. gener-
ally refer to it as the most northern
railroad in the world. The Wild
Goose road. which maintains a pre-
CariOus existence throughout its en-
tire five miles. inland from Cape
Nome. being quite devoid of ballast or
grading. frozen solid during the long
winter months and thawed TO death
II the summer, is also referred to as
the nOrthprumost bit of track in ex-
istenCe. But tlere is a regular rail
Tnad il regular operation, quite well
ordered in construction and equip
l,ent, which lands passengers. freight
and mail many miles nearer the north
role than do either the White Pass
lad Yukon or the Wild Goose lines,
both of which terminate well south
Of the arctic circle.
At the head Of tae Gulf Of Bothnia,
IN northern Sweden, is the port of
Iulea. a town of almost 5000 inhabi-
taTts. distinguished as the southern
terminus of d railroad which runs TO
4 point fitty-twO miles inside Of the
arctic circle. Nome is almost 200
miles south of this; White Hurse over
45U miles. This Swedish railroad is
a welI-kept, welI-built line of the
standard Swedish gauge, which is the
same as our own, and it carries iron
ore TO the gulf from the mines at
Malmberget in Swedish Lapland.
From Lulea to Malmborget the dis
lance by rail is about 100 miles. the
line running Slightly west Of north
through a country very sparsely in
nabited, with almost continuous
woods of light green. stunted ever
green trees with their limbs slanting
down instead of upward because OF
the long burden of snow they pear.
Malmberget is far enough north SO
that it has the midnight sun in June,
and even in August the sun just bare

rode for the Black range in Sierra

Profit in Watercress.

A good watercress ditch in a favor
able year is a profitable possession.
says Pearson's Weekly. One measur-
ing. say, $50 feet by eighteen feet
will yield at least eighty fats in a
season, fetching on an average Of
$1.25 apiece. or 800 in all. In the
spring, when the young watercress is
at its best, the price will range SO
high as 1915 or s. a fiat, but SIPS
may be taken as a good minimum
average for the same season all
through. The watercress for stocking
such a bee will COS $50 or s35, and
after making an ample allowance for
labor. repairs and other ~outgoings
there shonld be a profit of from $40 to
$50; in other words, a dozen beds
of this size, occupying exactly three
quarters of an acre with their grass
walks, should insure an income of a,
least $500 a year, and may bring in
nearly double in very favorable cir
c7mstances.

Finally. while he a visiting the
country he decided to propose by let

piest men on earth. Then he began
to believe he had been p~recipitate,

That night he did not sleep. He
thought all sorts of things. and vainly
wished he could intercept the letter
before it reached her. But that was
manlfestly impossible. 1t was not IN
til the mex morning that he received
an inspiration as he was passing a
telegraph office. Rushing in he seized
a form and nervously penned the fol
lowing:
Posted you wrong letter yesterday.
Please do not open, and deliver to me
or my return"
After that he breathed more freely.
That evening a telegram was await

The Chicago Housewife association Is
one Of the active women's organizations
which has come into considerable prom
inence Of late because Of its effective
work done toward bringing about a solu-
ton of the servant-girl problem. In the
words of one Of the officers of the club,
the organization hopes to form a trust.
where all the grievances and interests In
the matter Of obtaining competent maids
will be merged into one complete whole.
The work Of the organization will be to
furnish competent maids to all members
of the association: to grant diplomas to
all maids who have been found trust
worthy and capable. and these diplomas
will serve as a sort of passport in OBJ
tanning positions among members of
the association all over the country.
The president Of the association is Mrs.
August Levi; DIR. Mary Seymour is vice
president, Mrs. C. Hardy secretary, Mrs.
E. Falk assistant treasurer, and Mrs.
Charles Kelley treasurer. Mrs. Levi says
there is widespread interest in the
movement, and at the next meeting Of

to the boy is not Of so much Importance
as the effect that his early home life has
upon his future life. Boys is not a
popular subject, and there Is a dearth
Of literature concerning them. When
visitors are in a home the boys are not
visible and are not introduced to callers
as are girls. The sense of a right to
protect is inherent in boys and should
be cultivated. Boys have a keen sense
Of responsibility and IL it is fostered
will help to hold them at home. There
should be more confidence between boys
and their parents; this helps them to
govern themselves. Much luxury Is not
good for boys. They should be given
tasks to perform. The farmer lad has
