 Within the log saloon six mllee down the road the noise of the revelry arose in ever increasing volume.
 The door of tine shack suddenly opened and the tall form of White Horse lowered before them Calmly. but with each word foreeful as bull let. White Horse spoke
 This thing Is going to stop. I've got to have you i'll the woods morrow and you must get back to camp while you are able to walk. I've been patient man to-day, but I've reached my limit. Now clean out of here before clean you.

Ike most of his predecessors, fol lowed a simple narrative and eXposi- tory method prefixing q plain story of the poets life to a systematic ac- count of his character and critical estimate of his works; he gathered his fass and impressions together and spoke for the author and for him self Boswell, on the other hand, making use of more dramatic method succeeded in his attempt to let the author reveal himself. and, in. stead of an exposition of character, painted a picture of personality, to which his own comments were sub ordinate. What we see as n type of mind and character in Johnson,s work, we see as living man in Boswell.- The Forum.

 Dynamite cartridge with a twomin- ute tail' he said as he sat it upon the wood box and held flaming match above it. You want to dance and fight some more do you. Well. unless you hike out of here you'll all be doing a quiek=ste tonight for the devil.
 No man knew just how far White Horse would go in the enforcement of an order, and now none waited to see. Struggling. eursing. roaring they fought their way out of the door and went swarming down the track, while the boss, extingaishing the fuse. stepped cut on to the trampled snow and threw his cartridge deep into the woods. Far down the track the runaways were stag gering into the distance, wrangling and bowling insanely.
 The afternoon sun sank until 1t seemed to rest on the tops of the west ern forest like broad gold piece poised delicately And the walking boss, aris- ing from a leg beside his cutter where he had sat for an hour following the rout. climbed up to the seat. Back along the rough woods trail he went until the gleaming ice road lay before him. then turned upon it.
 As his half galloping ponies swung around a bend of the forest road. they suddenly arose upon their hind legs with wild pawings at the air. Less than a dozen yards in front of them and ly- ing flat upon his back on the ice. was the first of the fallen that White Horse had feared would litter the homeward route.
 The legs of the lumber jack kicked spasmodically and White Horse. short ening his reins, leaped to the ice. Cant leave you here 10 freeze up solid. he grunted as he dumped the limp form headlong into the sleigh box behind. But I'll make you pay for this ride to- morrow.
 At the next turn of the road the first oath that had escaped his lips that day burst from him explosiyely Fairly in front of him. locked in each others arms as they had gone to sleep fghtins. were Jimmp Hard Boots and ole Sawiog Along the neNt hun dred wards four more men were strewn ike skrmishers fallen in battle.
 One by one the walking boss labori- ously raised them and piled them upon each other in the box. wedging the last nan firmly between the dashboard and the seat.
 The moon sailed high and the black shadows of the forest lay heavily upon the elearings. White Horse, hurrying back from Camp .. where he had been summoned to Quell an incipient riot. drew deep breath as he threw open the door of the cook shop.
 They are sleeping all right now. They'n be in fair shape to break their backs again to-morrow. and most like ly they won't lick up another drop of hrewater until after the drive iu the spring. Poor devils, There isn't much pleasure in this world for theu.-not much-not much.

Man-Developer.

The struggle to get away from row
erty has been o great man developer.
Had every human being been born
with a silver spoon in his mouth-had
there been no necessity put upon him
to work-the race would still be in its
infancy. Had everybody in this ,coun-
try been born wealthyS ours would be
one of the dark ages, says Owen SWEET
Marsden, in Success Magazine. The
vast resources Of our land would still
be undevelopedl the gold would still
be In the mines, and our great cities
would still be in the forest and the,
quarry, Civilization owes more to the
perpetual struggle of man to getaway
from poverty than 10 anything else.
It is not poverty itself, but me effort
Z to get away from it., that makes the
man. We are so constituted that we
make our greatest efforts and do our
best work while struggling to attain
that which the heart longs for 1t is
practically impossible for most people
to make their utmost exertions with
out imperative necessity for 1t. 1t is
the constant necessity to improve his
condition that has urged man onward
and developed the stamina and sterling
character of the whole race. A youth
born and bred in the midst of luxury,
who has always leaned upon others,
who has ne?er been Obliged to fight his
way UP to his own loaf, and who has
been coddled from his infancy, rarely
develops great stamina or staying pow
er. He is like the weak sapling in the
forest compared with the giant oak
which has fought every inch of its way
up from the acorn by struggling with,
storms. and tempests. Power is the re-
suit of force overcome. The giant is
made strong in wrestling with diff
culties. It is impossible for one who
does not have to struggle sand to night
obstacles to develop fiber or stamina
ITO live without trial is to die but
half a man" Strength of character is
q thing which rsust be wrung out of
obstacles overcome.

JUVENILE CRIME ~ ITALY.
Dspravity Of the Young the Result
Of had Environment and
Illiteracy.

Consul Britain. Of Kehl, Germany,
furnishes some startling statistics on
Juvenile crime in italy, taken from an
article recently published and written
BY Limo Ferriani. He says that SO
per cent. Of the child criminals Of Italy
are manufactured by bad environment
and inadequate education-in other
words, by preventable causes; that 80
per cent. Of the criminals of the coun.
try are minors. and of these IS per
cent. are thieves.
Prof. Ferriani protests against senti-
mental description, but pleads for sci.
entific investigation. He himself has
closely studied 500 boy prisoners be-
tween the ages of II and II and re.
ports that more than half of them
came from the most wretched homes,
and over 200 had criminal parents.
Very few had ever done any work, all
were sexually corrupt; nearly all
smoked and many had taste for alco.
hol.
AS a proof of how little good is eff.
fected by mere instruction apart from
moral training, he asserts that the best
scholars were among the worst Offend
ers. AS an alternative to prison the
author proposes agricultural colonies
in districts where the air is braclng.

Sby James ]. Hill, see to it that more
capital is expended toward housing
the, people who come here seeking
homes that they turn not away and
seek fields where rents are lower and
houses more plentiful, for it is without
doubt that 1t is the scarcity of houses
that keeps the rent as high as it is

using care not to let it scorch; add
one pint of strained oyster liquid and
simmer until the; liquid is reduced to
about half the original quantity.
Strain through fine sieve, season
with salt and a dropsofs tobasco, then
return the saucepan to, the fire and
lay in the sauce 25 large, plump oys-
ters which have been previously
washed and drained. Watch the oys-

oysters out onto squares of buttered
toast and then pour few spoonfuls
of the sauce over each portion Serve

PROPER WAYS OF SERVING
Hints on the Serving Of Soup and
Fish-The Portions Of
Salad.

TO carve and serve food I'm an at.
tractive and economical manner re.
quires knowledge of the internal
structure of the article to be carved;
this Is best acquired by actual prac-
.tice and long experience in the art of
welding the knife. The skill of the
butcher and the cook in doing rightly
their part, the forethought of the
waitress in. providing suitable uten.
sils, and the seeming Inconsistencies
of guests as to your efforts will help
greatly.
SOUP.
Dip the ladle into the soup, take
up q full measure, keep it steady un.
til the drop has fallen from the bot.
tom of the ladle, then lift it over the
edge quickly, without dropping any
on the tureen or plate, but empty it
slowly into the plate. One ladleful
is sufficient for each plate, for 1t
should never be SO full that it will
be impossible to pass it without slop.
ping the soup up on the rim. Crack
ers. croutons and other accompani-
ments should be served separately
and a bread plate provided on which
to lay them, to prevent crumbs On the
cloth.
FISH.
Whole fish, like baked haddock or
bass, and portions OF thick fish, like
halibut and salmon; should be cut in
thick portions down to the backbone,
but not through it; then remove the
bone and serve the flesh from the
underside. Thin fish for broiling are
first split down the back, the bone is
removed and when, served they are
divided down the middle Portions
from the middle Of each half are con.
sidered the best.
SALADS.
Use broad knife or shallow spoon
and fork for salads served in lettuce
cups, slipping them under the cup
and lifting the whole to the plate in
the same position, not tipped over.
Or lay one or two leaves on the pate
and put portion of the salad in the
laaves.-Mary Lincoln.
