STORIES MADE WITH FEET.
AnipaaI Tracks In the Wood Which
Betray Identity.

Each animal makes its own kind Of
track in ,he mud, snow or dust. No
two make exactly the same. The track
of coon is never like that of a fox,
and the track of q fox is readily dis
tinguished from that of rabbit or
small dog. And, more than that, the
track of one coon may differ from that
of his own brother, so that one can
sometimes distinguish tAe track of a
given individual and by seeing it on
different occasions get something like
an insight into its life Thus a famous
grizzly in the west was known by his
track. One OF his toes had been cut
off by trap, and the difference that
made in his track was easy to see.
To come nearer home, our common
animals sometimes have unpleasant
experiences with steel traps. The
marks of these on their feet often add
q peculiarly that Identifies the animal.
Iii other cases the track is extra large
or small or Is crooked, but it always
keeps the main features of its kind.
The track of one sort of animal rarely
need be mistaken for that of another,
and the A B G of tracking is to learn
the chief kinds of footmarks that are
TO be found in your region. The way to
learn tracks is to draw those that you
find, always sketching them right from
nature, never from memory, and it Is
always best to make them exactly life

Our Debt to Our Mothers.

Ian Maclaren in The Christian En-

tiful tribute to mothers:
"The person to whom you owe more
than you can ever pay or even imagine
is your mother. She endured more for
you, served you more patiently. loved
you more fondly, thought Of you more
bravely, than any other person you
have known on earth or will ever know
save your wife or your husband, if in
deed they can always be excepted. If
your mother be spared to you, then are
you bound to make her a first charge
on your life, as you desire peaceful
conscience and as you shall answer be-
fore the judgment seat of God. She
must be encompassed with every OBJ
servance of comfort and honor and
gentleness and love, with sacrifices
also, if so be it will please her. Of
tastes and occupations and time and
even friendship, and after you have
done all that you can think of and any
one can suggest you will still remain a
hopeless bankrupt for the love where
with she loved YOU"
