There wasa pause, during which the
family felt throb OF uncertainty.
It's Jennie Porter I'm going to tell you
about. She's always relied on other folks
to keep watch Of the time for her when
necessary. and her mothers always laid

Psmels, sllowirg her gszs to rest for mo-

A Cree Boar-Hunt. /.

The Wood Crees Of the far north have n
great respect for their "li.tle brother
makpa, the bear, and the braves array
themselves for a bear-huDt In their finest
dress OF ceremony. Ia The Silent Places ,
Mr.. Stewart Edward While describes an
attack on bear by party OF Inc isns, az

stopped, then cautiously backed until well

The varied character of our popu-

trated than in years of Presidential
elections, write the Washington COZ
respondent of The Progressive Far
mer. Although our naturalized citi-
ems are SUPPOSED to be able to read
English before they are permitted
to exercise the elective franchise, po-
litical leaders know better than to
appeal to them in other tongues
than those to which they are born.
Campaign headquarters are located
in New York, but much work is done

which many of these are printed.
