what becomes OF all the false
facesT' asked the city salesman. who
wears them? There are lots Of them
made. A trip on the elevated roads
gives peeps into many doors where
dozens Of workmen do nothing year
in and year out but make false faces.
The output must be sufficient to ena-
bic the entire population to go about
dressed for a continuous carnival. On
Thanksgiving and a few other fete
days masks are in demand, but the
rest of the time most Of US are con-
tent to show our natural countenances.
That comparatively light local trade,
even when swelled by the year round
trade OF small shops in pOpulous dis
tricts, leaves a tremendous quantity
of false faces to be accounted for.v-

Rhrmes of one seaaon.

When the summer time has ended and
the saucy autumn breeze
Gets to toying with the leaves on all
the brilliant colored trees,
All, tits then the hearts grow lighter
and the spirits start to rise,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
When the days are growing shorter and
the birds have gone away,
And the corn is growing ripper in the
fields from day to day,
There's rosy glow pervading all the
hazy autumn skies,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins il the pies.
When the hammocks have been put
away and open cars are gone,
And you never see a tennis player chas-
ing on the lawn,
When the college people gather and you
hear the football cries,
Then the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
You recall with lots of pleasure all the
summer days could give,
But since the autumn days have started
then you know it's joy to live,
As your mouth begins to water, and
there's gladness in your eyes,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.

Two Sunsets Per Dar.

There is only one place in the world
where the sun sets twice daily, and
that is at Leek, in Staffordshire. The
reason of this is that a jagged noun
tain is situated to the west of the
town, and in the evening the sun sets
behind it and darkness comes on Then
the first sunset occurs, the gas lamps
lit, and apparently night has set in.
But it has not, for in the space of an
hour or so the sun reappears again
through the opening at the side of the
mountain and daylight again appears.
Artificial lights are extinguished and
daylight again prevails, until the sun
again descends below the opening. and
the second sunset occurs and night
comes TO stay.

Thompson Of Angels
Ii Is the story Of Thompson--of Thomp-
son, the hero Of Angels.
Frequently drunk was Thompson. but
always polite 70 the stranger;
Light and free was the touch Of Thomp-
son upon his revolver;
Great tie mortality incident on that
lightness and freedom.
Yet not happy or gay was Thompson, the
hero Of Angels;
Often spoke 10 himself In accents Of
anguish and sorrow:
why do make the graves Of the friv-
olous youth who In folly
Thoughtlessly pass my revolver, forget

A Kings PunctuaIitr.

All men agree in the abstract that
'spunctuality is the soul of business"
but few act up to the maxim with the
strictness of the king Of the Belgians.
Wherever or however he may travel,
whether the visit be of business, pleas
ure or ceremony, he is punctual. not
only to the hour, but TO the minute
it might also be said to the second.
And yet his majesty is never seen to
consult a watch. But his familiars
know that his habit of passing his
hand along his flowing beard is only
a device for glancing at a small watch
which he wears fastened to his wrist.

Across the great lakes in Canada
there lies one Of the worlds largest
reserves Of timber. In spite of the
tariff imposed much Of this timber Is
to-day coming TO the United States.
The forests Of the Dominion are begin
ming to yield abundantly. More than
100000 feet Of pine sswlogs and
square timber, during a recent season,
were cut upon territory held under
timber license from the crown
Much OF Canada's timber land has
not yet even been explored In the
newly developed districts OF AIgoma,
which are close to the great lakes, It
IS estimated that there are more than
100000 cords Of spruce and pulp
wood, while in the districts Of Thun-
der Bay and Rainy River there are
nearly 2OO.O0O.OoO cords more. A belt
at least 1000 miles long IS believed 10
exist IN Canada between Alaska and
the Atlantic.
II has been estimated that, at the
present rate Of cutting, the greatest
timber resources OF the United States
those OF the Pacific coast-will be
exhausted IN less than half century
The annual cut Of shingles and lumber
IN these regions is 4.5O0Oo0.OOo feet

left to sour and form uric acid and
other irritating poisons which are alb

Its victims helpless cripples for life.
