II Time of Peace

In the first months ofsthe Russia

pie of the necessity for preparation
and the early advantage of those WHO,
SO to speak, have shingled their
roofs in dry weather" The virtue of
preparation has made history and
given to US our greatest men, The
individual as well as the nation
should be prepared for any emergen-
cy. Are you prepared'to successfully
combat the first cold you take? A
cold can be cured much more quickly
when treated as soon as it has been
contracted and b>fore it has become
settled in the system. Chamberlins
Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of colds and it should be kept

with the line coming down from Wor-

been current for the past two years,

ALL BUILT WITHOUT NAILS
Peculiar Construction Of Dwelling
Houses in Burma.

Houses in Burma.
In Burma a dwelling house is built
without a nail. 1t is hung on four
upright posts of tea or bamboo; seven
or eight feet from the ground the
planking of the floor is tied to the up
rights with rattan the walls are made
of split bamboo plated into beautiful
and fanciful patterns. The roof con
sists of the leaves of the toddy palm
which have been soaked in salt water
to make them insect-proof. There are
no windows, but large flaps of the
plated bamboo walls are raised in
he daytime to admit light and air.
The house consists, in the case of the
poor, of only one good-siZed room, but
when there are several chambers they
lead off from the common room and
are separated from 1t by partitions oil
plated bamboo. These are generally
raised one or two feet from the floor
If the common room, but In no case
IS one floor above the other in a
Hurmeae house. 1t being thought a
ereat 'ndignity to have any ones feet
aser ones head. The matched roofs
ara highly inhammable and leaning
against every matched house may be
seer a long hooked stick with which
to pull off the roof should 1t catch

Christmas Times

Christmas times are hard on pocket
books-but really, now, wouldn't you
prefer the feeling of good cheer and
happiness which peryades evry n at
at such times to a fat purse7 Corpu-
lent purses are all right, SO long as
they do not become III, for when ont
can see nothing but gold they forget
the happiness of their fellow-men.
But there is such "a happy feeling
p%ervading all classes during Christ
mas time that it gets into the air and
senos n clipping along the streets
at a 2:40 gait that never gets into the
muscles at any other time of the year
And then this thing of remembering
your friends and dear ones with a
nice present has a tendency to drive
away sordid thoughts, ill feeling and
heal up old wounds, thus creating "a
better atmosphere every where.
To realise how PREACHING this
feeling OR good will and kindness is
over this country, for it is nay that
has greater Significance in the United
States than any where else in the
world, one only need glance at the
mails and express. Uncle Sans clerks
view the approach of the Christmas
holidays with dread. Every n in the
post5otfice department is worked to
a FRAGILE until the rush is over The
same state of rush and over work pre-
walls in the ranks of the express COM
panies. 1t is simply a business whirl-
wind while it lasts
But it a good thing-this Christ
mas holiday, and it leaves us better
than it finds us-even if it does hatten
our pocket books terribly.

Winford was little in advance of time, but was prompted largely by a desire to Haunt insult in the face of its defeated rival. The celebration drew from all the near by ranches, and Cactus pursued its work with little fear of detection. By noon of Winford's jubilee day the strangest procession that ever set out across the Western plains started from what had been Cactus but a few hours before.

Rather n Tall Fish Story.


 A remarkable case has just come to light at the headwaters of Gander Creek. Ten years ago Columbus AIIsop went to that point to fish and cut a willow pole and set his hook and line, sticking the pole in the bank. He then got engaged in something else and for got his fishing pole, After a lapse of ten years he thought Of 1t few days ago and went to the scene at once, and there he found that hts pole had grown to be a willow tree three feet in dia- meter. The line was it's usual size and when he raised the hook he found sev- eral generations of fish on it, the one that was originally caught on 1t hav- ing raised a school of fine ones each season.

 And more fortune followed. At first the Oklahoma Southwestern directors were inclined to laugh when they heard or the transplanting of Cactus. Then they thought more seriously.
