condition of his gun.
I'm all right as long as have you,"
he said, giving it a pat as he hurried
on. "But-if that really is wolf
or It might be two or three of 'em by
the notes.-the sooner l can get to the
Holcomb clearin the better I'll like

He increased his speed to a run, but
the shortness Of breath induced by the
extreme cold soon brought him to a
halt. And in the dead hush Of the for
est the appalling notes came with a
dlstinctness which brought to Jack
the first thought OF peril.
Not one wolf. or two or three, but a
pack, driven by starvation. Oh the

trees, and with straining eyes he
watched for the curve in the road
which would bring him to Holcomb's
clearing. But as the quick breaths Of
the pursuing enemy became distin-
guishable amid their barks and howls,
Jack realized that he had no hope of
making it. Nearer, close by the road
side, he remembered, an old log cabin,
long since disused as n dwelling, but
occasionally temporarily occupied by
settlers making their way farther on.
How far he might find safety here
he could only conjecture, but it was
something in the way Of a shelter.
The wolves were close behind as he
dashed into the cabin, giving the door
desperate shove after him. No time
to fasten it, for the yelps came in too,
But there were friendly rafters above,
and with one leap Jack was among
them.

A Kansas young man who is teach

"The children have learned to read

children. They memorize everything.

The declining rays Of the reddening
sunset lent a sparkle to the snow as
Jack briskly set out on his long walk.
AS the luminary took its last glance
at the bleak world the moon arose,
smiling over cold appalling to any
less sturdy than the forest labOrers
who knew no other climate, and re-
joiced in conditions favorable to their
work.
1t was a great occasion which de-
manded Jacks presence at home-no
less a one than the marriage Of his
Oldest sister. The father was dead,
and Jack, in his faithfully sustained
position as man Of the house, was al
ready taking on a weight Of care
beyond his years.
His home lay ten miles distant from
the lumber camp in which he did, as
was his proud declaration, almost a
mans work. In the other direction
was the nearest small town, which
Jack had taken occasion to visit a few
days before on an errand of import
ance.
When fully out OF sight Of the camp
and beyond all possible observation
from any Of its occupants he paused
to unfasten his tightly buttoned coat.
The warmth at his honest heart kept
him from feeling the bitterness OF the
cold on his hands drawn from the
clumsy mittens.
A small parcel taken from his breast
pocket-and the radiance Of the sunset
had nothing to do with the glow which
lightened his face as he carefully loos-
ened the wrappings to gaze on an or
nament Of colored glass set in brass,
designed for the adornment Of the
bride.
"It's fine. And Abby'l think no end
Of It, There isn't girl in the settle
ment that's got one like it."
But" with a more sober face, as,
after looking at the suns rays as'they
shone through the glass and were re-
fected from the metal, he returned the
jewel to his pocket, "lt amt up really
to what I'd ought to do for Abby, and
she gettin' married. Father'd "a given

Chickens That snore.

"You never heard n chicken snore or
sneeze?" asked the poultry raiser who
has big farm Of fancy chickens over
in Maryland. "Well, you ought to
learn something about chickens, Just
go into chicken house any night and
you will hear chickens breathing heav-
lily in deep sleep. In different parts
of the house you will hear chickens
actually snoring, making a noise loud
enough to locate the birds that are
guilty Of this reprehensible conduct.
Whether the nearby chickens object
to this barbarous habit I don't know,
but there is never so much noise In
n chicken house in the early part OF
the night. If there is a particularly
loud noise around the house n rooster
will wake up and give a warning to
the slumbering fowls, but in q few
minutes all of them will settle down
to as sound a sleep as before. You
may take a sleeping chicken off the
roost in the night, and if you hold 1t
a few minutes the chances are that 1t
will go soundly to sleep in your hands.
Yes, chickens sneeze when they are
taking bad cold. When 1 hear one
sneeze always give it a small piece
of camphor to drive out the cold, and
the chicken is soon well. Chickens
cough and have colds, catarrh and
diphtheria just like people. Washing

Ar rHE WRONG FUNERAL.
The Sermon Was All Right, However, ana
He Heard 1t Twice.

When the death of prominent West
Side business man was announced not
Long since, one of the distant relatives,
who had known him intimately years
before, felt it his duty to attend the
funeral Although the engrossing
cares of business life and the long
distance between their places of resi-
dence had prevented the men from
continuing to the last the friendship
of earlier manhood, the distant rela
tive felt a sincere regret. AS he ap-
preached the church in front OF which
the hearse and carriages were waiting,
he began to experience a real grief.
At times like that man will remem-
Der things.
He entered the church and sat well
toward the rear. After the solemn
music the minister spoke briefly Of
the deceased as n man of unimpeach-
able character an honor to the bust
ness world, and a light in the church
where he had labored so faithfully
for years. He referred to the many
excellent traits of the deceased, his
kindness as a husband and father, and
his sympathy with everything that
was good in life.
The distant relative acknowledged
to himself the truth of every word that
was spoken, and began to experience
a deep regret that the early friendship
had been so neglected through many
years.
AT the conclusion Of the sermon the
usual opportunity was given those
present to pass in front Of the pulpit
and take a last look at the remains,
The distant relative moved slowly for
ward with the crowd and looked into
the casket.
He could hardly restrain an ejacula-
tlon Of surprise. lie had been attend,
ing the wrong funeral
AS he passed out Of the church a
second hearse halted. AS one coffin
was boyne out Of the church another
was carried in. He re-entered the
church with the new cortege, and upon
inquiry learned that this time he was
attending the right services.
There was nothing remarkable in
this experience except that the minis
ter repeated almost verbatim in the
second instance the eulogium to which
the distant relative had already lis
tened.--Milwauke Sentinel.

British service papers have noted
that the Prince Of Wales is the first
heir apparent to the British Crown to
hold an actual commission in the
navy, the senior service on their side
of the water. Hitherto the heir ap-
parent has been put into the army,
and any naval rank he may have held
has been purely honorary. The
same rule was followed in the case Of
the sons of the present King; Prince
Edward was made a soldier, and died
while Major in a hussar regiment;
Prince George was made sailor and
has commanded his own ship on
regular cruise. Now, by the death Of
his elder brother, he becomes Prince
OF Wales, the first Of the line to be
a sailor. Hitherto he has been pro-
NOTED rapidly, but with a. decent per-
led Of service in each rank, until he
now holds the commission Of a Cap
tain. Hereafter his promotion will
be very rapid, and his lew grades
will be honorary, as it will no longer
be advisable for the heir to the Crown
to go to sea in command of a feet
or to take the risks CT a naval officer,
says the New York sun.

A Traitor Of the Veldt.

When Paardeburg had been fought
and Cronje was captured, his faithful
dog fell into the hands Of the British.
The dog had followed the desert Ma
poleon" through all his campaign,
faithful and stanch in his devotion.
Now, a traitor dog, he is just as de-
voted to the British camp at Green
Point, Cape Town, as ever he was to
the burghers.
He is long-legged retriever with
a love for fights. His battered sides
bear witness to the fact that he nearly
always gets the worst Of 1t. When a
company leaves camp the dog follows
them to the train and then comes back
in detection. He is sullen and fierce,
except to the Tommies.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Vice is often hilarious, but never
merry.
The futility of whining is q lesson
fate teaches all.
The confiding woman should study
the doctrine Of selection.
The solitude Of peopleless places ap-
peals to the thoughtful soul.
There was never a business so good
that 1t would survive neglect.
To be artistic is praiseworthy, but to
sacrifice comfort for it is folly.
y glance can convey more admira-
ton than an avalanche Of words.
Music may soothe the savage breast,
but verify discord maketh the gentle
savage.
1t requires great wisdom todetermine
whether an abnormally silent person
be fool or philosopher.
Youth dreams of the victories of ma.
turity; the advantages Of youth are
dwelt upon by maturity.
The stern realities Of life are not half
as devastating to the domestic ex.
chequer as the frivolities.
The heart-to heart talks often re-
solve themselves into back-to-back
talks as the years roll by.
Distrust a woman who abuses her
husband to you, for after the marital
clouds roll by she will abuse you to
him. m.-Philadelphia Record.

I'd "a been able TO do real well by
Abby"
His mind was full Of what this do
ing would have been had he possessed
the means to carry out his loving de-
sires. The log cabin which was to be
his sisters home, would, he well knew,
be destitute of all but the barest con-
veniences. Deep in his heart lay the
fond wish to distinguish it by some
special luxury.
"P'raps I'll have luck yet before the
winters over" he soliloquized
The sharp nip Of the cold sent him
on with brisk footsteps. He passed
the last settlers cabin on his way,
turned his back on the rough clear
ings and struck into n lumber road
which penetrated into the heart Of the
dense woods.
But as he continued his walk his
quick step was suddenly arrested. The
voice Of the wind, even in its angriest
lashing of the forest, never made a
sound like that low-pitched, long

before in his life Jack had heard
the dismal yell, but always under cir
cumstances including no danger. How
the men in the bleak North country
hated the sneaklng creature which
preyed on the few focks Of sheep,
would attack children or even a man
when enough Of them came together.
Many a wolf story had Jack listened
to beside the campfire. The animals
were getting scarcer as the country
gradually became more settled, but
he had heard of cases in which the
severity Of the season had brought the
ugly things in packs frightfully near
the scattered homes.
He listened with every sense on keen
edge. No, it was not the wind. Even
in the short moment in which he stood
still he could fancy that it grew louder,

In the International Monthly Pro.
fessor Sholer, the Harvard geologist,
has disclosed his views about gold
production. He estimates that on ac'
count of improved machinery and pro-
cesses it costs now about a third as
much to get gold out of lodes and
veins as it did in 1850. This cheapen-
ing of production makes it profitable
to work pretty poor veins, and he
guesses that within twenty years that
source alone may yield $5Oo,OO0,000 a
year. But the chief gain is to come
from placer mining, which means get
ting the gold out of accumulations Of
detritus made by the decay OF gold
bearing rocks. The use Of dredges in
handling pay dirt Of this sort, and
the cheapening Of other processes, have
made so much difference that DR.. Shaler
thinks that within twenty years this
sort Of mining alone is likely to yield
as much gold as all the mines yield
now. In 1899 the earth produced gold
valued at $3O7 100000, so that DR..
Shaler seems to think that by 1920
the annual production may be $780,
100000, states L. S. Martin, in Ha,
per'g Weekly.

1t is pointed out that the French SOL
der, with the abundance OF marina
malade, chocolate, figs, licorice and
caramels in his rations, has larger
allowance of sweets than the soldiers
of other nations. Sugar now ranks
high in favor with military authorities
as fighting food. An allowance Of pure
candy was added to the rations of
American soldiers in the Philippines
last year.

Crieketers met at Makik on Satur-

teams were captained by H E Picker

one of surprises from start to finish.
Making allowance for the wretched
fielding, the scores are so disproportion-
ate that they must be ascribed, IN
great measure, to the element or
chance. After piling up no less than
1e1 runs for the loss Of three wickets,
picker closed his innings lest there
should not be time enough left for MS
