Helen was ecstatic- She began 70 fe&

and a tiger, but Teddie saved her.
Breaking loose from his mothers re

his father, he shouted, Papa! papai

As John was searching his pockets
for penny, the gracious voice went
on: "Ah, your little SON; anyone NAV
see that; the same lovely hair-you
know 1 always admired your hair"
Helen felt her husband was looking
past this sweet friend of his youth at
herself.
And your wife," continued the mel

What a balmy blending of sympathy
and consolation! In the face of that
look in his wife's eyes. the professor
of mathematics was fast degenerating
to the state of a savage.

"Ah, these meni" cried Mrs Nc
Edwin, coquettishly; Il doubt whether
you have ever heard of me- John

your husband by his first name-used
Certainly the professor was degener-

Once more Teddie saved his family
from lasting disgrace. Helen felt sure

guardian angel, dancing up and down

was not mistaken; the Overland Spe-

whirlwind of steam and dust
Out on the platform, John, looking
into his wife's happy, triumphant

right. One kiss, my dearest and most

INSISTED ON THE BOX.
She Wanted to Be Sure Her Gift Was
Taken Care Of


Albert c. Bates. librarian of the
Connecticut Historical Society, has
had many inquiries from visitors to
the collection rooms in Hartford re-
garding the camp effects of Nathan
Hale, the martyred Revolutionary spy,
which, up to a short time ago, were
kept in a large case in the main hall.
Some changes in the disposition of
various curiosities has been necessary
this season, and the Hale articles are
now hidden from sight in the great
safe in one corner of the room. In
showing them a few days ago, Mr..
Bates related an amusing fact re-
garding the old powder horn which is
kept in glass-covered box.
THE horn was presented to the CO.
ciety by Connecticut lady" he said,
land we had removed it from the box.
placing it, with other Hale relics, in
a large case. One day this lady
came to the rooms and noticed that
the horn had been taken from it's orig
inal box
"'Oh, 1 can't have that.' she ex-
claimed, that horn is too valuable to
be taken from it's box at all l must
insist that my gift be kept just as it
was presented
so we recovered the box, fitted
the horn in it's position, and there it
is.'-New York Times.

Fathers Enthusiastic Praise Some.
what Out of Place.
When the artist son of John Harper
was a raw student his father was very
much interested in his work. One day
he saw a newly finished picture on the
easel.
"Ah, that's fine" he burst out;
fine! There's lots of life, lots of an
imation in that, my boy. You've struck
the right thing now-life and action"
But, father. 1 don't understand
what you mean"
why, that picture has action, move
ment in it. Look at those horses,
rearing and tearing ahead, Juggling at
the reins-and their riders are stand
ing up in their stirrups, shouting and
waving their sabers over their heads
the whole picture is movement and
animation. What is it-NapoIeon's
last charge at Waterloo?''
No, father, that's your beet patch
in a strong wind."-New York Times.

What Farm Life Can Do.

John McAleese, former superintend-
ent of police and a leading politician
OF Pittsburg, has forsworn politics
forever and is devoting his energies
to farming. On a recent visit to the
scenes of his former activities he
offered a reward of a carload of pump
kins and a barrel of sweet potatoes
for any case of insomnia, Indigestion,
paresis, political helplessness or gold
brick ague which he carnot cure. Said
cure is to be effected without the use
Of knives or surgery and by simply
living three months in every year on
a farm

on a Limited Train to California.

Luxurious service between the East
and California has come to stay. Each
year the equipment on the leading
trans-continental lines is little bet
ter than the year before. The trav-
cling public demand the best and are
willing to pay for it.
The Santa Fee announces that daily
service of its California Limited train
for season of 1903-1904 will be resum-
ed November 2S until then it is semi
weekly. The California Limited runs
between Chicago on the East, and Los
Angeles, San Diego, and San Fran
cisco on the west-a straight-away
flight of more than two thousand
miles. The time to Los Angeles is
less than three days from Chicago.
The route is through New Mexico and
Arizona, south of the region of heavy
SHOWS, and traversing a land of en-
chantment, where the traveller sees
Indian pueblos, canyons a mile deep
and peaks two miles high.
The train itself comprises compart-
ment, observation and drawing-room
Pullmans, dinfng-car and buffet
smoker Equipment as fine as money
can buy, and service absolutely high
est class. Perhaps the meals, under
management of Mr.. Harvey. are the
most notable feature of the California
Limited. They have a national repu-
tation and are faultless.
The fact that this is the eighth sea-
son for the Limited ought to mean
something to travellers who seek the
best way to reach California

TO RID COAST OF SQUIRRELS
California Farmers Will Spread Dis
ease by incubation

California Farmers Will Spread Dis
ease by incubation.
The farmers of Contra Costa coun-
ty, California, have hit upon a new
plan to get rid of the squirrel pest
and through their representatives in
the board of supervisors have appeal
ed to the University of California to
aid them. The new scheme will re-
ceive the backing of the university.
1t consists of the spreading of a
plague that already exists among the
squirrels by artificial incubation The
farmers of Contra Costa county have
lately discovered that the squirrels
have been dying off from some new
disease which has attacked them.
But the pests have not been dying
fast enough to please the farmers,
who think they have found a way to
assist the disease.
Some bright mind recently suggest
ed that the malady might be spread
by capturing a few of the diseased
animals, extracting the plague germs
and inoculating hundreds of others,
which would in turn infect those
among which they are turned loose.
The plan seems to be a perfectly feas-
fble one and may solve the problem
Of the squirrel pest, which has annoy
ed farmers for a long time in Cali

Through azure bars.

TIMBER NOT EXHAUSTED
Hard Woods VIII Take the Place OF Pine
To a Large Extent.

CALUMET, MICH.-Since the white
pine Of the lower peninsula Of Michigan
has become largely depleted, there is q =
general impression that the state Is an
exhausted timber section. Such Is far
from the case. The forest products hauled
ceeds shipments for the same period OF
last year. While perhaps the best white
pine of the upper peninsula Is goue.. tho
immense production of hardwoods,. hem -
lock and cedar is taking it's place. s.
Michigan hardwoods seem to be grow
Ing in favor with the consuming trade.
The current years output Is larger than
ever before and commands materially In
creased values. There, is no oVerstock in 4
any variety and shipments are nearer to
green stock than ever before.
Gray elm and Eastwood are the two
Michigan woods that have shown the
greatest increase in value. The demand
is stiff at an advance Of fully S. over one
year ago. It goes without saying that,
the stock in first hands is very light. :,
In hard maple there Is no overstocks
and price conditions are excellent. AT
values Of from 81 to 81 higher than g,
year ago, the demand Is holding up ex-s
cellently. The only menace to Michigan:
maple values is the ridiculously low price
at which maple flooring is being put on
the market.
Birch has followed the trend of maple
values and is about 50 higher than year
ago. There seems to be q fair stock ut
birch in sight, but the demand is good.
Black ash has become SO limited in sup-t
ply that it cuts comparatively little fg-e
ure among the hardwoods Of the state
at present. The substitution of other
woods is taking place, and probably 1t
will never again be a standard product
of this state, Ia:
Beech has also followed the fortunes OF
maple and birch to the extent that 1t Is
in very fair demand at values from -
to So higher than a year ago. On the
whole Michigan hardwood conditions are,
in most excellent shape and the future for
these standard woods is very bright. H.,
