THE HISTORIAN AT HIS WORK.
Sitting the Golden Truth From Col
lection Of Fables.


A venerable old man. with n pen
behind his ear and ink on his fingers.
went up the main street OF Human
town calling out as he went:
"Liesl Any old lies to-day. Biscuits
for lies to-dayl"
He had a basket OF sweet waters,
or biscuit. on one arm, and they were
shaped like a human ear. These he
was exchanging for the lies that were
abundant In this town. Very soon
the old mans bag was full.
IL was a new thing 10 collect lies,
and many jokes were banded at the
expense OF the odd old man and his
odd occupation. The strange mer
chant left the main street, and little
child had the curiosity 10 follow him
The venerable one turned aside
through door into n beautiful gar
den In the very heart OF the town. and
yet quite unknown. He closed the
door. but the child peeped through
the keyhole. and saw the old man
take the bag Of lies and give IL a good
shake. There was a commotion and
rafting inside for a time, and the
mass seemed to be smaller.
"Ahl Hear them eating each other
up" chuckled the old man.
A few more shakes. and the bag
seemed actually empty; but the old
man opened II carefully. and there in
far corner was a pinch OF pure gold.
The child reported all these things.
and the next time they saw the old
man the people demanded who he
was. lie answered: II am the His
torian. Ernest Thompson Seton's

wheat EXPERIMENTS
At STATE college

Pullman, Dec. 14.-Prof. Thatc her.
chemist for the department of agri-
culture of the Washington State col
lege, is making some experiments
which will be of value to all inter
ested in the wheat industry of the
Northwest These experiments are
being conducted along scientific lines
and the information gained will be
given out at the coming winter school
for farmers, which meets here in Jan
uary and February. 1t will be of spe-
cial interest for the wheat convention
which opens January for period
of two weeks.
A complete flour mill has been add
ed to the experiment station and the
station staff will grind flour from
samples of wheat brought to the col
lege and bake bread of it in the de-
partment of domestic science.
The mill is complete in every detail
and is expected to make fine grade
of flour. Wheat will be brought in
from various localities and ground at
the station. The flour will be baked
into bread and pastry and the entire
process will be noted scientifically,
and this information will be tabulated
for the benefit of those attending the
convention.
Prof. Thatcher has received about
thirty samples of wheat from various
sections of the Inland Empire and is
Analysing these. There are eight
different varieties represented in the
samples received, and he expects sam
pies of every variety grown in this
section. In addition to the scientific
analysis, the experiments of grinding
will be condcuted and thus it is
hoped to learn all about the respec-
tive qualities of the various kinds of
wheat. Prof. Thatcher expects to
have analyses of every variety of
wheat grown in the Inland Empire
completed before the opening of the
wheat convention. He will also have
analyses of the soils of various sec
tions, showing the qualities of the soil
and its adaptability to each kind of
wheat. BY this work it is hoped to
learn much about what varieties of
wheat will give the best result in each
locality.
