accorded seats of honor at opposite
ends of the toastmaster's table. Wood

national bird. but Boyd will taste its
mysteries for the first time tonight.

Judge Fee will be left to call upon
whom he chooses and upon as many
as he pleases The growing of the
harnyard fowl will be taken as the
only signal for the dispensing of the
Jolly crowd.

BUTTERED TEA OF THlBET
Sailor Tells Of Priced Dish of Natives
Which Did Not Exactly
Suit His Taste.

"Younghusband has reached Lhassa,"
said a sailor. That means that he has
eaten buttered tea. Buttered tea is the
great dish of the Thibetans, and to re-
fuse to eat it is an insult to the people"
He laughted bitterly.
"They made me eat their buttered
tea." he said. 81 thought that it would
kill me-"
what did It look like?"
ut looked amber-colored mud, mixed
with dirt and slime. 1t was about as
thick as puddin'."
"What did 1t taste like?"
Taste like? can't tell you. II tasted
terrible, terrible. Buttered tea, you see,
is made Of stewed tea leaves. rancid but
ter and flour, all boiled together. First
they stew a handful of tea leaves in 4
quart Of water for about an hour. Then
they add more water, pound Of rancid
butter and about pint Of -four. This
mixture they boil over quick fire, and
they serve 1t hot
poor Younghusband! can imagine
him in a Thlbetan house, ingratiatine
himself by eating buttered tea. At every
meal the Thibetans expect you to eat q
pint Of it."

FIELD WORK IN FORESTRY.
Missionaries Of the Government Have
Caused Important Advance in
knowledge of Trees.

In addition to its force engaged In
forest-reserve work. the bureau of for
estry has this summer 116 skilled men
in the field. OF these IS, scattered in
70 states, are studying commercial
trees. making working plans for wood
lots and forests, and gathering data
invaluable for the proper management
OF wooded areas. The remaining 4S
experts, divided among ten other
states. are studying means of replacing
the forest on lands from which 1t has
been denuded, making planting plans
for tracts to be forested, and planting
in the western forest reserves. The
data they will gather will be worked
over and condensed by the Office force
this winter, and put into shape for
practical use. Reports from the field
which are coming in daily show that
the year is to be one of distinct
achievement and that the work Is pro-
crossing everywhere with important
advance in American forestry. These
experts, In covering thier various ter
ritories, are jealous missionaries in the
cause they serve, for wherever their
work carries them the purpose of for
estry, its methods, and its incalcula-
BILE importance to the general welfare
are understood, appreciated and ap-
piled as never before.

LICK ONLY THE ENVELOPE.
Woman Gives a Man Hints on Proper
Way to Apply Postage
Stamps.

A man who had just purchased a
lot of postage stamps at branch Of
flee and was posting a lot Of letters
complained to the clerk in charge that
there was not enough gum on them
and that they would not adhere to the
envelopes. If you would lick the
corner of the envelope as well as the
stamp" replied the clerk, you would
find that they would adhere together
firmly"
A woman standing by mailing let
tiers remarked: THAT is correct II
is not even necessary to lick the
stamp. l never do, for dislike the
taste of the mucilage, and merely
moisten the corner of the envelope
and never have any trouble in regard
to the stamp adhering."
"Well," said the man, 81 have been
mailing letters in large numbers fol
many years, in fact ever since postage
stamps came into use. but l never
heard of this way of putting or
stamps before. | really believe thai
the women know more than the men.
Most women do, about many
things" remarked the clerk, who
was a woman.

SOME BIRDS THAT INITIATE
RoSr Of the Ostrich Resembles That
of the Lion-Explanation Of
an ornithologist.

The roar of the ostrich resembles the
roar of the lion because the ostrich stole
from the lion this sound. even as one
playwright steals from another plot
An ornithologist made that odd asser-
ton in a taxidernist's shop. He went
on to elaborate it as follows:
Birds, from the ostrich down, are
initiative. The ostrich, where he lives
alone. is silent, but in country where
lions abound he roars. Why? Because
for centuries admiring the majesty and
grandeur Of the lions roar, he gradually
learned to roar himself. Believe me. il
is fine to see an ostrich throw back his
little head and emit roar like distinct
thunder.
"Buntings initiate pipits, and green
finches initiate yellowhammers. They
seek their food in the winter together,
and they gradually stead each others
calls.
THE jay is an Unsuitable imitator.
Some jays will include in their roper
tory not only the whoo-oo Of the kite,
the scream of the buzzard and the
boot of the owl, but also the bleat of the
lamb and the neigh Of the horse.
Even the nightingale initiates. In a
nightingale's perfect song have often
heard the sip-sip-sisisis Of the wood
warbler and the bub-ub-ubble Of the nut
hatch"

ceived. / thank you most sincerely

ed as representative from your coun
ty, you will give me your support II
all measures that will tend to benefit
