CHAIR is MISSING.
Was V-Ined for its Assoclatlo s-Dos
Gave Warning

FHHH.HtH
Someone stole a chair from the
porch where Mrs. Henry Thomas re-
sidos in First street. The chair vas
greatly priced, not on account OF its
value as to money, but OF account Of
It's having belonged to Mrs. Thomas
late husband and used exclusively by
him to sit in on the porch.
Mr.. Thomas had a pet dog named
Daisy and he would often call the dog
aud tell her to watch the chair and
Daisy, who loved her master, would
sit in it till he returned. Last We'd
nesday night Daisy made a great time,
as If someone was on the porch, hui
when Mrs. Thomas got TO the door the
party had disappeared. Tho ext day
the chair was missing. Daisy has
occupied the chair since her masters
death, a few months ago.
Daisy is a very bright little animal
Mr.. Thomas used to say to her, Come
Daisy, and see the pretty girls go
past, and they would then go out on
the porcli together. One day Daisy
came running in and catching hold Of
her masters trousers, tugged ct them
until he wondered what she wanted
Mrs. Thomas suggested tina some
pretty girls we're no doubt passing and
sure enough, when Mr.. Thomas fol
lowed Daisy out, there were the girls
passing by.
The friends of Mrs. Thomas, know
ing the circumstances concerning the
chair. wish the thief anything but
lack with his booty.

THE HARDNESS OF TREES.
mate to which They Have BE-
come Accustomed.

An expert nurseryman says the hardi-
ness or no~n-hardiness of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees In question sprang came
from. Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced by planting a seed obtained
from the sunny south, say. BY planting
reeds gradually further north, however,
trees may be at length hardened and ac-
climated until q seed from such a tree
may be reasonably expected to thrive
and mature It's fruits.
Trees, like people, says the Phlladel-
phia Record, acquire their habits from
the climate in which they live. The
northern tree knows instinctiyely when
the time has COM to ripen its fruits,
The southern tree follows the same in
stinct, being in no hurry. as there Is lit
tie likelihood of real cold. With trans
paintings further north its habit
changes.
The great trouble with most people is
that they want to Jump a tree from
south to north at one move. This SAM
idea is evident in the attempt to bring
various fruit trees from Russia to the
northern United States.
Apples and plums from the land OF
the great white car have taken kindly
70 the below zero conditions of the gen.
tie Dakotas.

NATIVES OF SWITZERLAND.
Cannot Forswenr Allegiance Merely
by Becoming NaturaHEed Else
wherc-Should Have Passports.

Students and other residents of the
United States who may be natives Of
Switzerland, will be interested in a COM
m%upication to the state department from
Consul L~ieberknecht at Zurich, who calls
attention of students and others to the
necessity Of providing themselves with
passports.
Many On~aturalized American citizens
who were formerly Swiss citizens labor
under a Misrepresentation as to their old
and new citizenship rights and respon-
sibilities. They return to Switzerland
without naturalization papers or pass
ports, only to find themselves Swiss cit
liens again.
The consul adds that a person never
loses citizenship, no matter how long
he may absent himself, unless he goes
through certain necessary formalities.
If he returns and is owing a military
tax he is compelled to pay the same, in
spite of the fact that he Is an American
citizen.
The only way to be released from old
responsibilities is by making a written
request to his home community for such
release, submitting proof at the same
time that he has acquired American citi-
zenship.

CoLONIzING CANADA.
What Persistent Advertising Has
Done for the Northwest-GrOw-
Ing Flax ON q Large Scale.

Some five years ago the Canadian gov
eminent did strenuous advertising
throughout the cities Of the Unitec
States with a view of disabusing the
peoples minds Of the idea that western
Canada was a waste OF frost and snow.
The government caused free lectures TO
be given, established bureaus from
which large quantities of literature
about Canadian possibilities in the way
of farming and home mas Ing were is
sued and gave exhibitions OF aaricul-
tural products at state and county fairs.
The farmers Of the middle west in
particular emigrated in large numbers,
With the result that an American In
vasion of Canada began. and continued
so steadily as to produce what a recent
writer has called the characterization
If Canada"
One of the most noticeable results OF
the invasion is shown in the introduce
ion Of fax growing on a large scale.
fhe Canadians thought 1t unwise TO at
tempt the cultivation of that grain, as
they believed 1t hard on the land end a
great protector of weeds. But the
Americans have proved TO the contrary.
and with land selling at $12 an acre and
yielding an average of Is bushels to the
acre of flax the newly bought farms
have paid for themselves during the
very first year.
