harnessed and crossed the valley to go up
the bluff upon the other side. He now re-
membered the advice about locking the

his wheels on going up HILL he replied that
he was afraid that the weight OF the wagon
would pull the oxen back the other way.

the evening The young man started en-
Enthusiastically out. Dinner time passed and
he had not returned. The hour for supper
arrived. and he was still absent A little
later he dragged himself into the house
dead tired. He was asked why he had stay
ed so long, and replied that he had had a
lot of trouble with the lambs but that he
had finally succeeded IN getting all but two
into the corral. but that those two ran SO
fast that he could not catch them. The
other cowboys considered this strange,
as the lambs are not hard to drive, so they
took a lantern and went out to the corral

Pupil Farmers.
This young man was a pupil farmer.
Scores of such have been sent out from
England TO the United States and Canada
to learn farming. There are men who
make regular business of drumming up
such students. They go to the rich fami-
lies in different parts of Great Britain, and
persuade them that there is great money

sons the business for consideration. The

The rancher was something OF a sport
himself and he finally consented to help
the boy out of his trouble. The cattle were
sent over Old Doctor Bright duly arrived.
and he was driven out and shown the herd
which Dfckfe said was only a sanple of
his stock. which he had brought in TO show
to his father. The boy added however, that
1t was not good to keep the cattle penned
up, and that they must go back upon the
range right away. The old doctor was de-
lighted and gave Dickfe check for Sfe.0e0
to increase the business before he left.
When he returned to England he boasted
about the clubs how his boy had built up
one of the biggest stock ranches in the
west, and was making q fortune on the
Canadian plains. In the meantime Dfckfe
was luxuriating his ten thousand dol
lars. 1t soon disappeared. and a little later
he wrote to his father for more. saying
that cold and disease had ruined his herd.
AS a result he was called Eack to England.

This American application of the idea

upon the issue of the first volume. There
was an urgent need of just such work of
current biography, and it reflects the re-
markable activity of the American people
that the total number of names has In
creased from the 5000 included in the first
volume, issued In 1899. to 16 2fe IN the pres
emit edition. Yet there has been no letting
down OF the bars to bring in candidates for
public notice The standards have been
established and the publishers are simply
now succeeding in persuading those VINO

Some Ways in Which the Pennies

Stale bread and crusts after being
soaked in milk may be used for suet

or cherries. Take care of the sugar.

or three minutes will be converted into

sugar has as much sweetening power
as two and a quarter pounds of gin.
cose.
In other words, one pound of sugar
stirred into the fruit after it is cooked
and still warm will make the fruit as
sweet as two and a quarter pounds
added when it is boiling.
Boiling fruit for a long time and
Swimming it we'll without the sugar is
a very economical way of making pre-
serves. The sugar is added when the
fruit has been boiled long enough.
If you find at the end of the day that
you have some milk in the house still,
do not let 1t go sour. but scald it,. and
it will do for breakfast in the morn
ing.
If there is more than sufficient for
that purpose mix it with a little corn
starch and make it into a blanc mango.

milk turns sour Unexpectedly remem
Der that sour milk makes beautiful
cakes and biscuits. and use it up in
that way.
In the kitchen there are often scraps
of soap left over. which are too small
for ordinary purposes. These should
be utilized in the washing-up processes,
or, better still, collected in a small jar
and reserved for washing days.
If they are placed in a muslin bag,
and used after the manner of a blue
bag, they will produce a good lather
in a few minutes.
A good saving of coal will be effected

Nero was scraping away at the unpop-
ular tune "There'll Be Hot Time In
the Old Town Tonight" when suddenly
he laid down his fiddle and burst into
tears.
"What Is the cause, your highness,
of this sudden shower?" asked a eau
tious attendant isn't Rome burning

inhabitants roasting to death?"
"True enough" replied the tyrant
through his tears, "and I should be the
happiest man alive, but, oh, there is
one thing lacking"

FALLING OF THE LEAVES.
The Wind In the Autumn Really Has
Very Little to Do with II.

The Wind In the Autumn Really Has
Very Little to Do with 1t.
When the storm clouds gather behind
the brown autumnal woods and cold
winds begin to blow, then the bright
leaves come drifting down in fluttering,
fast thickening showers until 1t almost
seems as If the wind were the active
agent and actually tore the leaves from
the trees. This, of course, Is not the
case. The leaf fall only becomes possi-
BILE after long preparation on the part
Of the tree, which forms a peculiar
layer of cells In each leaf stem called
the cleavage plate.
This cleavage plate, or separation
layer, consists of a section of loosely
attached thin walled cells with a few
strands Of stronger woody fiber in
among them, so, in the early autumn,
although the leaves appear as firmly
attached as ever before, they are really
only held on the tree by these few
woody strands and the outer brittle
skin or epidermis of the stem. Now
only a slight shock or wind furry Is
sufficient to break the fragile support
and bring the leaves In showers to the
ground. We may see these woody
strands broken through In the leaf scar
of the horse chestnut, where they ap-
pear as little rounded projections on
the broken surface and are often spok-
en- Of from their fancied resemblance
to the nails of horseshoe. The hick-
ory and ash among other trees have
similar markings on their leaf scars
and from the same cause. On the root
Of the wild sarsaparilla, which projects
Just above the ground, like series of
little projections will be seen upon the
ringlike scar which surrounds the bud
where the leaf stalk has just separated.
Often the leaves separate and fall
even on the quietest days, for their
own weight Is sufficient to break the
frail support. These hushed and su-
premely tranquil days we all remem-
ber, when our October walks are ac-
companied by the soft, small sounds of
falling leaves, by the rustlings and dry
whisperings of their showering multi
tudes.-St Nicholas.

When the COW had been removed from

True Economy.

1t Is charged of western state SEN
ator that he was able to save $4,000
in nine years on a salary of $1,000
year. This would seem to be an i'm
possibility to the man who blows his
money recklessly for food and such
things, but we should not be too hasty
to blame this man without knowing
all of the facts in the case.
There are many ways that thrifty
statesman has of supplementing his
salary. For one thing he must surely
be paid literally to smoke the brand or
cigars with which he perfumes the air
