The Color OF Life.

The world is not made up to the
eye of figures, that is, only half; it ls
also made of color, wrote Emerson
How that element washes the uni
verse with its enchanting waves! The
sculptor has ended his work, and be.
hold a new world Of Greanl-like glory.
IT'S the last stroke Of nature; be-
yond color she cannot go. In like
manner life is made up, not of know.
edge only, but of love also. II
thought is form, sentiment is color.
1t clothes the skeleton world with
space, variety and glow. The hues
of sunset make life great; so the at.
fections make some little web of cot
tage and freside populous, important
and filing the main space in our his
tory.-Home Herald. ..,..

Paper From Beet Pulp.

A report comes from Utah to the
effect that Mr.. James Brashear, a
veteran paper maker o located at
Ogden, Utah, having come from Des
Moines, Iowa, believes that he al
make paper from beet pulp and is
willing to start up a plant for this
purpose if such a one can be organ
lied. He claims to have built the Ma
tional Paper Mills, at Rock Island
Illinois, and to know whereof ne
speaks, but We should fancy that the
very skillful manipulators OF sugar
beets in France and Germany woul1
have utilized the pulp for paper max
ing long ago if it could have been
made industrially successful.
The trouble with some of these
ventures is that they are scientifically
correct, but not industrially protita-
BILE. and we should think it doubt
full as to making beet pulp paper
profitable.

to hold the end Of a hose at the point
desired and pour the stream Of wa
ter upon it for such length of time
as might be deemed necessary. This
mode of holding the stream is more
or less defective, in that the stream
of water could not be poured upon
the exact spot for any great length
of time on account of the person
holding the hose becoming tired and
unable to direct it uniformly. In Or
der to obviate these difficulties and
to produce an apparatus not requir-
ing continuous attention, the device
here illustrated was produced.

Little Chance For Him.

A Winfield woman complained at
our Office to-day because we made
known the fact yesterday that the
comet story is a fake. She said that
she had her husband about in the no
ton of joining the church, but that
we had sidetracked him. Now, we
don't pretend to be the judge Of any
mans salvation, but We are firmly of
the opinion that any individual who
waits for a comet to strike him be-
fore he repents has a slim chance for
redemption.-Winfeld (Kan.) Free

She SqueIched Him.

Miss Ellabelle Mae Doolittle, the
Leesville poetess, effectively squelched
a young man at a dance the other
night. Miss Doolittle, when the fad
first became fashionable, was oper-
ated on for appendicitis and the
Young man knew this. In a waltz she
had with him he said:
Miss Doolittle, it seems to me you
dance better since you had your ap-
pendix cut out

ess.
YES" he said.
"Well," came from Miss Ellabelle
Mae, why don't you have yours cut

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N. G. asked
his mother to write an account OF how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their
family.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the
Mayor of that city who was using the
food by the advice of his physician.
She says:
"They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While I was there I used
the Food regularly. I gained about
Is pounds and felt so we'll that when
1 returned home 1 began using Grape
Nuts in our family regularly.
"My little IS months old baby
shortly after being weaned was very
i'll with dyspepsia and teething. She
was sick nine weeks and we tried
everything. She became so emaciated
that it was painful to handle her, and
we thought we were going to lose
her. One day a happy thought urged
me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a lit
tie warm milk.
"Well, it worked like a charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting we'll and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Some time ago several Of the fam
lily were stricken with LaGrippe at
the same time, and during the worst
stages We could not relish anything
in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts
and oranges, everything else nau-
seated US.
1--WE all appreciate what your IA
nous food has done for our family"

His Income.

The teacher of a Sunday-schoel
class in Wilkesbarre once put the fol-
lowing questions to a lev scholar:
What did Moses do for a living
while he was with Jethro?'
There was a long silence, during
which the other members of the class
took occasion to "size up" the new
conner. The latter, however, was IN
dismayed After due reflection he
answered.:

A Mad Dog.
AS you well know we are not IN
favor of keeping so many dogs. A
good dog may be very useful on a
farm, but if you must keep one, do
not abuse it; it is entitled to as good
treatment as any other stock on n
farm. We hope that none of our
readers would be guilty of such
cruelty as is narrated in the follow
ing item from the Dog Fancier:

/ stepped out Of my buggy and
started with him for the crib, which
was located about twenty feet from
a small barn. There was the poor
dumb brute, with a heavy leather
strap around his neck and tied with
a rope to a ring on a wire running
from the corner of the'crib to the
barn. AS we got in sight of the dog
he began to jump andtear at the rope.
What is the dogs name?" asked.

How long has the dog been tied
there?"
"We went away yesterday morning
to thrash for Wilson and we left
Watch here to guard the corn-crib."
There -yas the poor dog left for
thirty-six hours in a burning sun
without a drop of water, to guard a
crib of fifteen cent corn. I walked
up to the dog and cut the rope and
led him to the we'll. I pumped some
water in a cup and gave him a small
quantity to drink. The dog did not
offer to bit me. He was too glad
to get away from such a place.
John did not speak for some time,
but finally said, 81 never thought of
giving him water. I will never tie
