The third paper was an excel
lent one, tho the writer's assertion
that successful statesmen are main
" heavy men because the light
ones cannot endure the strain, is
perhaps open to question. Social
ISM" by the critic, proved, accord
ing to the consensus of opinion
among the members, one of the
best papers read for a long time.
This opinion was given in spite of
general dissent from the socialistic
views which were so eloquently
put forth by the writer.
The reports of the critics closed
the meeting, which had been above
the average in interest.

And after supplying him with food
and water, we left him to call
for the ewes, and, incidently, to
call the wolves to their destruction.
The next morning Billie told me
to go and bring the old ram home.
l went with visions of wolves and
all sorts of wild terribles, butthere
was nothing in the pen but the
sheep. When I climbed into the
pen, and was looking for thelowest
place to lift him over, the old fell
low thought I ought to be lifted
over (and he was not very gentle
about it either). I can shut my
eyes and see those stars yet. Well,
l didn't take that sheep home.
When 1 went back to tell Billie my
troubles, he had gone hunting, and
he did not come home until late
that night.
About twelve O'Clock that night
Billie woke me up and wanted to
know if I had left the sheep in the
trap. When I informed him that I
had and said I hoped that some
bobcat would find him, he said:
"Good! I've been hearin' wolves
howlin' out there for quite a spell.
You jest jump into yourpants. and
we'll go and see what's up" We
took our guns and a couple Of
bullseye lanterns and cautiously
slipped thru the woods towards the
trap. We didn't see any wolves,
but the sight that met our eyes
made Billie say things.

Nnele BiIIie'$ (DoIf Crap

No doubt you will remember
the story of Uncle Billie's salt lick
and how he killed his wife's COW,
installing her for a moose. After
he had killed the COW, his wife in
sisted on having some sheep. And
as a compensation for the loss of
the COW, he bought five.
During the summer he had con.
structed a wolf trap, by driving
posts in the ground in circle.
And outside of this circle he set
another row of posts beginning
about four feet from the inner
ones and setting each post a little
closer until, when about half way
around, the last post was about two
inches from the posts forming the
inner circle. Nails were then
driven into these posts, slanting
towards the narrow end of the
chute, and then filed sharp. So
that, after entering, the wolf could
not back out. The bait was to be
placed in the pen formed by the
inner circle of posts, and the wolf
was supposed, in going around
this pen, to see the apparent open
ing and follow the inner row of
posts until he became wedged in.
In such a position he could be
killed or taken alive.
About week after the sheep
arrived we heard wolves bowling.
Uncle Billie said they had scented
the sheep and asked me to help
him to take the old ram out to his
wolf trap. which was about half a
mile from the cabin. It was easy
for the two of as to convey him to

ated sensation by printing a story
asserting that Mary Baker Eddy,
the head of the so-called Christian
Science Church is, and has for the
past three years, been suffering
from cancer, and that she is Wis
tied twice week by specialist in
the treatment of that disease. The
story has been denied, but the
World insists that it's statement is
true, therefore the leaders of the
society will be forced to allow an
investigation; not to do so means
the death of the whole concern.
The World has either done the
Scientists a deadly injury, or has
rendered the world at large an in
valuable service; which, we shall
soon learn.
No man who traverses the streets
of the city of Chicago today. dodg-
ing the resistless stream of auto
mobiles, vans, trucks, Parmulee
buses, etc., would dream that
forty feet below where he is 80
fearsomely treading his way lie
more than fifty miles of subway
devoted to the moving of millions
of tons of freight, and that these
miles are being daily added to, and
that every great business house
has a switch track in it's "third
story down" basement where these
electric trains are almost continu-
ally receiving and discharging
great loads of freight, yet such is
the fact, nevertheless. All the OK.
cavated material from these tun-
nels, all the debris from wrecked
buildings, and excavations fornew
buildings is carried out into the
lake and dumped. It Is planned
to advance the shore line q mile
into the lake, and where today
great whalebacks are steamlng, in
five years We may expect to SEQ
beautiful parks under whose shady
green trees the lads and lasaaa Of
the windy but wonderful city may
sweetly indulge loves young dream.
1t is proposed to teach farming
by mail thru the medium of the
correspondence course. Thecourse
to embrace a four.year period,
and the student must farm one
acre of land while studying. TUT
ton and books are to be free. The
scheme has been endorsed by the
governors and presidents of the
state universities of Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and Missouri, and ap-
pears to the layman to be entirely
feasible. The possibilities of the
correspondence school in the hands
of a wide awake energetic student
are endless.
The doctrine of the survival of
the fittest is more surely obtaining
a foothold in the economics Of the
world today than atany other stage
of her history. Not only is this
true in the business world, but in
the political field, especially az
witness the steady advancement of
the Tafts, Woods, Magoons, ETC..
in this country, and what is true
OF this country is also true of Eng
land, Japan, France, and other
great powers. Darwin, the virtual
of this theory practically
said: "Let her go Gallagher,
hurrah for the man on top, and the
devil take the hindmostr' That
the world has at last endorsed his
doctrine is the conclusion any
candid student Of affairs Of today
must accept.
