SlAKiNG IT PLEASANT FOR THEN.
BY the Warm Greeting Extended TO
Her Guests.


Aunt Abigail had consented at last
to give her house external treatment
for chronic shabbiness.
The p,.inters did a good job 1nish-
ishing the front steps last, but forgot
to put a board across the balusters to
keep persons from running up or down
the steps, and the good dame did
not observe the oversight.
While sh,s was clearing away the
supper dishes, all hour or two after
the pail ters had gone. there came 2
ring at the front doorbell.
Aunt Abigail, full Of wrath, has
tened to the, door and opened it.
There stood the pastor and his
wife
I'm delighted to see you, Mr.. and
Mrs. Baxter" she said, with a frosty
smile. I'm delighted to see you-but
just knew somebody would come UP
those freshly painted steps before
they were dry. Come right in and
make yourselves at home, and dom,
forget, for goodness sake, to wipe
your feet on the mat inside!'-Cnica

A Jap's Many Names.

Every European child can answer
the question, What is your name? %
without hesitation unless ne is dumb
but the Japanese boy must think
u little to make sure, for at various
periods Of his life he is called by diff
forent names, He receives his first
when ne Just month old. Tren
three oiAerelt names are written on
three slips OF paper and thrown into
the air in the temple while prayers
are addressed to the family diety.
That which falls first to the ground
bears the name the child is called till
he is three years old. At fifteen the
Japanese boy receives a new name in
honor of his coming of age. His name
is changed again on the occasion of
his marriage and on any advance in
his position.

face softly. and the fading light
threw a halo about her head. Yet she

CURIOUS AIDS TO SPEECH.
Methods Adopted by Well known

METHODS adopted by Well known
Speakers and Writers.
Readers may have noticed that
many persons while speaking-pub-
lie orators included-have a knack
of doing something which appears in
an unaccountable way to assist the
flow of words.
Sir Walter Scott has supplied an
illustration Of this. When at school
he could never succeed in getting
above a certain boy in the class until
he discovered that this boy, while re-
peating his lessons, continually fid-
geted with button on his waistcoat.
At the first opportunity that offered,
Scott cut the button away, and his
object was gained. When the boy
was called upon to construe, his
hand instinctively sought the button,
and, being unable to find it, his mem
DRY completely failed him and he

To Determine Length Of Day

By a simple rule the length of the
day and night, at any time of the year,
may be ascertained. By doubling the
time of the suns rising the length of
night is obtained, and by doubling the
time of setting the length Of the day is
given. Thus, when the sun rises say
at five O'Clock, the length of the night
is ten hours and the day fourteen hours.

OF INTEREST
TO STOCKMEN
AN IMPORTANT ORDER JUST Is.
SUED RELATING TO FOREST
RESERVES.

The Argus has received from Forest
Supervisor Ira E. Todd, of Neihart,
the following forest reserve order re-
lating to recognition of live stock as
sociatiOns, one of the most imprtant
issued recently:
To forest officers in charge: The
following regulation has been APPROX
ed by the secretary of agriculture and
is now in effect:
whenever any livestock association
whose membership includes a major
lty OF the owners of any class of live
stock using a forest reserve or por-
ton thereof shall appoint a commit
tee for such purpose, an agreement
On the part of which committee shall
be binding upon the association, such
committee, upon application to the
forester, may be recognized as an ad-
visery board for the association, and
shall then be entitled to receive no.
tice of proposed action and have an
opportunity to be heard by the local
forest officer in reference to increase
or decrease in the number of stock
to be allowed for any year, division
of the range between different classes
OF stock or its owners, or the adop-
ton of special rules to meet local con-
ditions.''
The intention of this regulation is
to give stOckmen notice of contemplat-
ed action affecting their interests and
to afford them an opportunity to con-
fer with the forest officers before fin
al action is taken in regard to general
grazing matters. Favorable consider
alton will be given the recommends
tons of an advisory board except when
such recommendations are in conflict
with the regulations or when there is
good reason for their disapproval.
Livestock associations desiring to
take advantage of this regulation must
file an application with the forester,
giving the names of all members of
the association, the name of the for
est reserve or reserves in which its
members are interested, and the
names of the committeeman who are
to act for the association. The COM
mittee must not consist of more than
five members, and a majority of the
committee shall constitute a quorum.
The application must be accompan-
led by copy of the constitution and
bylaws Of the association and a state
ment that the action of the committee
will be binding upon the association.
Upon the approval Of such application
by the forester, the association will
be entitled to the recognition given
under this regulation and will be not
flied promptly of any contemplated
changes in the number Of stock allow
ed on any reserve or district thereof,
any division of the range between diff
ferent classes of stock or it's owners,
or the adoption of any special sules
to meet local conditions.
In setting the date of meeting, suf-
ficient time will be given to afford all
members of the committee an oppor-
tunity to attend, but in case they fail
to attend either in person or by proxy,
then the forest officers will be reliev-
ed from all obligation to further de-
lay action. (Signed.)
