been reduced and now there is a
merry lumber war on, and prices
are still on the downward grade.

The reduction in the price Of lum-

"Oh, yes! But there's no money
in farmin' unless you've got good
ish-sized place, an then my girl
I've got girl, you know" he inter-
jected-"she don't take much stock
in ivin' out away from folks"
Reticent as Rossiter was in regard
to his own affairs (and he felt that
he had good cause to be), it was very
pleasant to have this young man, to
whom he had been an utter stranger
until that morning, talk to him in
this confiding strain. 1t made him
have a new and surprising sense of
half-confdence in himself.
AS they were silent for moment,
they became conscious that vehicle
was approaching behind them. They
glanced back, and saw not far dis
tant, and drawing near at rapid
rate, a pair of large sorrels attached
to a light surrey. They retreated
farther into the grass at the road
edge to avoid the dust from the pass
ing carriage, and, glancing up as it
swept by, observed that it contained
a driver and two young ladies. The
one who sat upon the side nearest
them let her eyes rest upon them
for an instant, then she, her compan-
ion, and, indeed, the whole convey
ance, were lost in a whirl of dust.
Rossiter watched the travelling cloud
until the horses and the surrey
emerged from it at the Merton's gate.
"Did you notice that girl?" re-
marked the younger of the two men.
eyes, did"
"Gee, but want she hummer!"
"She certainely was," agreed Ros-
sitter, amused at his companions
tribute to feminine beauty.
The calm of the growing dusk now
cast its influence over them, and
there was little said as they retraced
their steps to the farm.

HE WAS A "WISE INDIAN. u
story Related by Uintah Reservation
Agent About Two of His Red
Charges.

Indians soon part with their money.
And in doing so they frequently dis
play remarkable traits of business
character. Agent Myton, of the Uin-
tab reservation, tells of a number of
partings with the lucre incident to his
recent payments of rental and other
incomes. An hour after one old buck
received $275 in cash he was seen driv-
ing about the reservation in splen-
did two-horse carriage. The Indian
had no means of carting the products
of his range or fields, no wagon, no
COW, little clothing and less to eat.
Reprimanded for his improvidence, he
replied that white man rides in car
riages! why not Indian?" He was told
that he should have purchased a COM
mon heavy wagon, such as could be
used for farm work; and another In
dams purchase of such wagon was
told to him as wise purchase. The
Indian grunted at every word, looked
troubled, but gave no evidence of be-
ing favorably impressed, relates the
Salt Lake Tribune.
Next day Agent Myton saw his In
dian of spendthrifty inclinations rid
ing about in just such wagon as had
been named for him, and upon inquiry
it was learned that he had traded his
$3.50 carriage for the wagon; that as
soon as he had been upbraided the pre-
vious day he didn't do thing but hunt
up the wise Indian who had bought
jolt wagon" and propose trade. "How
did you trader" was asked. Carriage
his, wagon mine," was the reply. The
trade was vehicle for vehicle! The
farm wagon cost the first purchaser
$40, the carriage $3.50. The wise Indian
took the carriage back to the seller
and got two wagons, two sets of har-
ness, blankets, and number of other
necessaries. When the first Indian
was told of the trade made by the In
dian who got his carriage he expressed
no regret. He simply grunted,
shrugged his shoulders and exclaimed:
He wise Indian!"

Better Than Gold.

''I was troubled for several years
with chronic indigestion and nerv-
GUS debility" writes F. J. Green,
of Lancaster, N. H. "No remedy
helped me until l began using
Electric Bitters, which did me
more good than all the medicines
l ever used. They have also kept
my wife in excellent health for
years. She says Electric Bitters
are just splendid for female trou-
bles; that they are a grand tonic
and invigorator for weak, run down
women. No other medicine can
take its place in our family" Try

Folding a TabIecIoth.

When not in use a tablecloth
should be kept in folded creases, and
when brought out to be spread
should be laid on the table and un.
folded its entire length (the width
being doubled). with the center
crease along the center of the table.
Then the half breadth that is folded
should be turned back and the cloth
will hang evenly. Careless servants
often gather up cloth anyhow"
without taking the trouble to fold
it up again in it's own creases, and
thus fresh ones are made. A table
cloth will last fresh looking as long
again if it is always folded up after
its own folds and put away until the
next meal.-Washingt Star.

"De Lancey's Ancient Pine"


There is an interesting pine tree in
Bronx Park, close to the entrance of
the Geological gardens, that is worthy
of greater honor than is usually accord
ed it. To few old-timers who remem-
ber the locality before it ever became
a part of New York this old tree goes
by the name of De Lancey's pine. A
poem has been written about it, set
ting forth the virtues of "De Eancey's
ancient pine" The tree is by far the
tallest for miles around, and although
its lower branches have been badly
treated, towering mass of green
boughs surmounts the majestic sur
vivor of the days when the old De Lam
cey family owned a large portion of
the estate now in the Bronx park do
main. The old De Lancey house, that
was the scene of many gay parties in
pre-revolutionary days, was burned
down about so years ago The tall
pine is supposed to be close to $50 years
old at the least, and its present condi-
tion is favorable for at least another
century of life.-N. Y. Times.

Having seen the hop-wagon unload
ed and the team led away by one of
the farm hands, and having watched
the women and girls disappear in
Mrs. Merton's wake, Rossiter whirled
about to find the male portion of his
companions gathering up their pos
sessions preparatory to following
Jack Parmelee. He had his own
small bundle in his hand, and having
joined the Becraft boys, who had
been assisting their mother and sis

time to answer. ANY trunks?"
Those who had belongings FASTENED

there was a good-natured scramble
for seats. Rossiter assisted Joe with

with Mrs. Becraft and her daughter
opposite.
'All right there?" inquired Jack
Parmelee, surveying the load from
his superior height with glow of
satisfaction.
"Right!" cried someone.
'Get up!" cried the animated Jehu.
The big horses braced themselves;
the heavy wagon moved; and the
journey to the hop fields was begun.
