one would dare to. And one would care
to but he would not dare to show it to
the Madigans collectively. He would have
to let his affection display Itself to the
members of the family individually, ana
then only In the most subtle fashion. Any
open display would lay one open to re-
pulse by a resourceful enemy OF all snow
of sentimentality. That is what we make
Of the chief characteristic OF this family
| of Flashing tempers and hidden tender

ment to the extent of showing temper In
stead, and love of Furnishing any dis

The book Is one chiefly about children
but for older folk. The authors analyses
of childish feeling or thought, analyses

membered that it is not the child Wns

sometimes are too resourceful, tho al

UNINTEREsTlNG PEOPLE

They live in quiet sort Of way
In quiet sort of street.
They don't meet great many people, nor
Impress the people they meet
The newspapers never mention their names;
The world doesn't care what they do,
They never go in for anything much,
And their intimate friends are few.
He never has had favorite club,
Tho somebody said he might,
For fat little nose on the window pane
Awaits him every night;
And eight little fingers and two little thumbs
Undo all the work of the comb, .:
AS he sits in the quietest sort Of way -s
In his quietest sort of a home
She doesn't belong to woman's club,
She hasn't single fad.
She spends her time with blue-eyed lass
And mischievous little lad.
She never unraveled Problem of Life,
She doesn't know lots Of things.
She plays with the. kids" and works all day
And most Of the time she sings. s..-
He isn't like most other husbands at all,
She isn't like most other wives,
And they never attempt to make a change
In the course Of their quiet lives;
But once in while they dress the "kids,"
And go to spend the day
In nice little quiet country spot
In nice little quiet way. ..

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN JEWELS.
Treasure Recently tnenrfhed in the
Tomb of King Ter ShGSSs Some
Marvellous Work rranship.

Some Of the most remarkable Egyp-
Gently been unearthed. The date as
signed is as remote as 5000 B. c., but
the workmanship in gold and jewels
is marvellous. In exploring the tomb
of King Ter it was found that the
tomb had been entered for robbery
at some remote period and that the
plunderers had broken off the arm of
the mummy quietly and hidden it in
a crevice in the wall-perhaps on be-
ing discovered or alarmed-and had
never returned to remove it, says the
New York Herald.
On taking off the wrappings Prof.
Petrie found four magnificent brace
lets of gold. with amethyst, turquoise
adjustments. The gold work was
peculiarly fine and delicate, though
the metal was soft and pure, appar-
emily with no hardening alloy. The
stones were beautiful and very strik-
ingly and peculiarly arranged.
A number of amethyst beads of the
richest and deepest purple, about a
quarter of an inch in diameter. are IN
the possession of Mr.. Edward Aver.
of Chicago. He obtained them from
Dashone, Egypt, they being from the
treasures in the tomb OF Princess
Merit, daughter of Amenhotep H., ot
the twelfth dynasty.

troubled for years with my spine. |

cramps would follow. and words could
not explain the agony which | would
endure. While in these cramps | could
not speak or move. but by making
a great effort after the cramp bad
left me | could begin to speak and
move little, but my whole back was
SO sore and lame that | could not even
have my back bathed for some time.
My nerves were in terrible state. l
would rather sit up at night than go
to bed, dreading the cramps and the
terrible backaches. l consulted physi-
clans, but got only little relief for the

was better. and have ever since been
on the gain. l have no backache and
no cramps now, and l feel like new
person. My nerves are better and /
know my blood is purer. Words can
not express my thanks to you for what

Early Celebrations
TIME origin Of Washington birth
day as a holiday is stated as fol-


lows: On February %, 1883, a
number of gentlemen met in a New
York tavern TO celebrate the great gen.
erals birthday They then agreed to
assemble in future on that day, cele-
brating it with odes and toasts. Wash
ington's ascendancy shortly after TO the
presidency gave new Zest to the an
nual." so that in time it became general,
and finally grew into legal holiday,
the people demanding it from custom
The first public celebration of Wash
inston's birthday occurred on February
II. 1854, and the anticipated occasion
was thus alluded to by the Pennsylvania
Packet of February l., same year:
"Wednesday last being the birthday
of his excellency, Gen. Washington, the
same was celebrated here by all the true
friends of American independence and
constitutional liberty. with that hilarity
and manual decOrum attendant on the
sons of freedom. In the evening an en-
tertainment was given on board the
East India ship in his harbor. 10 very
brilliant and respectable company, and
a discharge of 13 cannon was fred upon

IN PRAIRIE LAND.


MOOSE JAW Assinibo,a
Farmers Review, Chicago. july c2 1919
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist Man has
broken them up with orchards, forests
and farm buildings. But in Western
Canada the prairies still stretch grand
ly from horizon TO horizon as yet I'M
marred by the hand Of man, save
where the iron road has been laid. To
a city man there is something de-
1iciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous c1umps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River. which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from its eastern terminus
to the Rocky mountains is over plains
where grass grows. The sage brush
appears at some points, but never to
the exclusion of grass. There is thus
not a mile of this country that cannot
be used for some agricultural purpose
-either for tilling or ranching.
"Moose Jaw is a town of over 1000
Inhabitants and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia. being the
center of a very good farming coun-
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef cat
tie several hundred in number On
another side was seen a good sized
herd Of dairy cows. the property Of the
citizens in the town.
"1n riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need Of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some Of the farms. and the trees on
the residence lots in the town
''Stories were told the writer of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which il
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year.-Henry F. ThurstOn"
