from his subscribers. That man has
faith and confidence in us. He knows
that The Market Number will be a
book which he will want to keep on his
farm. He knows that it will be valu-
able to him. He knows that he will
need it. And Furthermore he is patri-
otto enough to want to have his friends
in the east to know what is going on
out here in the wonderful northwest.
Frankly, we like that kind of a man.
He has the spirit Of the pioneer of the
progressive rancher. He is one Of hun
dreds that have written to us in the
last few weeks asking for copy of
the Market Number which he is to get
free of all cost. But the spirit of his
letter is something we admire. 1t is
a fair statement and puts us on our
mettle to do our very hearts best

Der and so will his friend back there
in Nebraska.

out little better Market Number, too,

Deed of a Gallant Nobody.

It Is not always the information car. ried by the recognized aids-decamp to and from the commanding officer i'll battle which is of highest value. There was a supreme moment during the bat tie of Waterloo when the Duke of Wellington was left absolutely alone. and that not when he was running the risk of capture by sailing through the enemy's lines. 1t simply meant that every galloper had gone his way, each with his message. 1tt this moment q stranger rode up to the duke and quiet. ly asked Gan l be of any use. sir?' The duke took one glance at him and unhesitatingy answered, Yes, take this pencil note to the commanding of ficer," pointing to q regiment in the heat of the battle. The stranger too. the note and galloped away with it through the thick of the fight He de livered it, but what happened to him no man knows. The duke always de clared that to he one of the most gal lant deeds that had ever come under his notice. It was done without pros pect of acknowledgment or reward, and neither attended its successful ac. experimentation Standard.

ReIms' Rare Tapestries.

One feels tie interior of Reims ca thedral to be immense without search ing the guidebook for actual figures of length and height One feels it to be splendid without looking at the detail of the pillars, with their giIded capi tals, the lofty yaulting of the roof, the choir spacious within It's simple grille, the windows burning with royal fires tres lighted ill the thirteenth century when stained glass reached It's full beauty-the tapestries glowing even ill their faded glory. These tapestries al ways seemed to me the distinctive fea ture of Reims, the last touch of mag nificence to q cathedral already mag nificent. They hang all along the aisles on each side of the nave-Gobelin tapestries, Perpersack tapestries, tapes tries rarely seen anywhere nowadays save safely stored in museums, It is like the sumptuousness of Reims to display them as if they were as entire ly part of itself as the sculptures of the facade, the angels and monsters of the Elizabeth Robins Pennell in Century.

 than healtl1i1y tired. It comes from a perfectly working system just as power comes from d perfectly working en- zine. Ifyou lack this power something ;s out of order. Ten to one it's your stomach.
 Take two bottles of Cooper's New Discovery. It will get the stomach in shape. See if energy and ambition don't come back before the two bottles are gone.
 This letter is from a man who tried it: "After suffering for some time from stomach trouble, loss of appetite, headaches and a kind of all tuckered out feeling I decided to try Cooper's New Discovery"
 'I used to get up in the morning with my tongue coated and sick at my stomach. l would feel as though it was almost impossible to drag myself to work. Lots of times l had dizzy spells and baekaches. After I used several bottles all these symptoms be- sgan to disappear and soon I began to ffee1 like my old self again. Now feel like new man. 1t is a pleasure to work, for always feel like it. eat we'll, and sleep well and am sure will have no further trouble with my stomach." A. G. Latubys, 167 Porter St..

A Frost DesoIated Land.

learned from an eyewitness some. thing about Spitzbergen, that desert arctic island 500 miles north of the North cape of Norway and within 7U0 miles of the north pole; a frost desolat- ed land, where the grass grows longer than the trees and huge glaciers i'll the ice bridged valleys amid the jagged mountains move majestically down i'll. to the sea until mighty icebergs, q monstrous birth. break off and rise to the surface amid thunderous reports --once the only sound that broke the profound silence of those awful soli. tudes. Spitzbergcn is the only spot ot earth that is positively known as Ne Mans land. It is the possession Of no country and has nothing even ;e sembling q specified government. Tn, island seems likely to remain No Mans Land, though 1t is said that an effort has been made by Norway t. establish some sort of protecs0YNts cvs. Additional Magazine.

Faith In the Clergy.

The highlanders' faith in the clergy has always been peculiarly profound. This characteristic Is illustrated, by the story of two old women going along the road after service who were heard to discuss the sermon as fol- lows:
 Peggy--Ah, and did you hear that most precious word, Kirsty-a most precious word?
 Kirsty-No And what word vas that?
 Peggy-Oh, most precious word, and it's myself that will not forget it.. the precious word Nebnchadnezzar.
 Kirsty-Oh. yes. But did you hear that other most beautiful word? My self never heard it said before, the beautiful word Belshazz0r.--Caled ~i~"
