ceedingly powerful construction, are
completely cased with steel, the vital
parts being especially protected. An
ingenious arrangement Of prisms and
mirrors, somewhat after the manner
Of the camera obscura, enables the
driver inside the cab of the engine to
see without being seen, or in any way
exposing himself. The trucks are
built with high sloping steel sides
which are pierced and slotted at in
tervals to enable the occupants to fire
through them. They are also provided
with slides at either end to permit
of guns and wagons being run into
the trucks The steel sides of the car.
riages are so constructed that when
necessary they may fall inward and
lie flat on the platform of the truck
which can then be used for ordinary
transport purposes.-London News.

Good News From Liberia.

Commercial progress is reported
from Liberia. If this is not Of great
Importance to the world 1t is sufficient
ly unexpected to be striking. Persons
who were not so sanguine as to expect
that settlement to solve the problem
of American slavery, at least expected
it to grow and flourish and surpass the
English and other white colonies In
the dark continent. All sorts Of ex.
cuses have been made for it's sluggish
development, but the fact remained
the same that it did not prosper. Now
there are reports Of commercial en-
Iargement and real signs of prosperity

the Queen of the Fairies, and ask
only for shelter" said the little stran-

to take you in, and leave me to Sleep"

Fairy Queen turned sadly away, but
q sweet voice called to her, Poor lit
tie lady, come in and l will shelter
you till morning."
Looking around she found that 1t
was another Gentian that called to
her, SO she gladly accepted the invita-
ton. At early dawn the Fairy Queen
rose and said to the friendly Gentian.
II am the Queen of the Fairies. and l
can repay you for your kindness. You
aud your children shall hereafter have
the power to open your pretty fringed
eyes to the sunlight. but your selfish
sisters shall remain forever closed"

Colorado at present has 100000
acres of land under irrigation. State
Engineer McCane estimates that with

productive. Twelve years ago farm
ing was practically unknown In Colo

mining. 1t was speculative era.
and only the cattle that ran wild on
the range brought any reward to the
people outside of the gold and silver
mines. The speculative era passed
and the people began TO Investigate
the qualities Of Colorado soil. It was
found that all the land needed was
water to make 1t astonishingly rich.

Judy, "A Naughty Dog.
II you could have seen Judy on the

Mrs. Lemond's little, laughing baby
girl. you would not have believed that
Judy could be naughty
Well, you shall hear of two or three
OF her pranks, and then judge as to
whether or not Judy was rogue.
For some time, one summer, there
had been hardly any eggs found in the
hen-shed and at the same time Judy's
appetite had decreased to the notice
of everybody.
At last Mr.. Lemond's children. early
one morning. hid behind barrel,
where large heap Of egg-shelis had
been found the day before. They had
not been long in their hiding-place
when Judy sneaked in. Yes. sneaked
in! First she looked around in all
directions. Then she put one paw over
the threshold. and shifted as though she
would say. There is something strange
in the air."
But ] dare say she was very hungry
for her breakfast. At any rate. Judy

The next day, too, Judy appeared at
the side door at the right hour for her

Have you brought home the cows?'
questioned old Hannah, as usual.
Judy wagged her tail. But that tail
did not seem to Hannah to stand up
joyfully, as it did when Judy felt she
had honestly earned her cracker: and
Hannah thought 1t we'll enough to have
look into the barn, and, sure enough
the cows were not there.
"You naughty dog!' Hannah scolded
"You go right down to the pasture and
fetch those cows!"
or Judy ran. Do you think she
knew she had told falsehood? And
In a very short time there was such
a stampede toward the barn that every
one ran to see; and there was Judy
bringing in the cows at full speed. And
then she came again, with her tail very
joyfully wagging for her cracker,
