she could The girl said she would not

songs as well, all Of which she did, and
did with confidence and ability, and

heard waves OF applause rush over the
footlights which were intended for her
and her only. After II was all over
she said quite casually 10 the admiring

March had now come and the warm
winds from the hot lake thawed the
maple trees and sap began TO run.
About 800 trees we're tapped and sap
of good, sweet quality ran in abund
ance all the rest of March and April;
for when the wind was from the north
west the ground froze hard and when
it veered around into the southeast the
warm winds from the hot lake thawed
it out and sap ran finely. 1t required
the whole force to attend to sugar
making and large lot of fine sugar
and syrup was made. Along about the
hrst OF May the Ice melted IN the lake
and the trees began to look green and
by the fifteenth the grain had been
sown and the garden planted. Yet
they had had green stuff all winter
from the gardens on the hot lake isles,

trees, and vas in a choked and bad
shape, but the boys had trimmed it up
and this spring it blossomed full which
gave a promise of apples of some kind
next fall.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley Draws Inter-
esting Picture Of Their Relation
to Trade Morals,

When Uncle Sans foreign trade
passed the billion dollar mark we all
considered it great thing, for we can
probably say that no nation on earth
has the volume Of foreign trade that
the United States has. It has soue-
thing 10 be proud of, something that
we might justly boast Of We produce
the most pig iron, the most tons Of
steel, the most tons of coal, of any
country. We have the largest area
devoted to agriculture. The area which
we plant in Indian corn is almost as
big as any other country in the world
except Russia. We have more money
in bank than any other country, Our
prosperity, after all, is largely depend
ent upon our natural resources; it is
not because we are any better farmers
than other people-as rule We are
not as good. 1t is not because wehave
greater inventive genius; for whiiewe
take out more patents than any other
people in the world, judging from what
have taken out myself, they are not
worth much. We are not harder work
ers, nor do we work more hours than
other people. II is trie we take less
time for our meals. and there is good
excuse for that because they are less
fit 10 eat than those OF other countries
II our meals were as carefully prepared
and as good we would take more time.
| never blame man for taking only
FIVE or six minutes for his meals. II
they are like some OF the meals have
had, the shorter time he spends at the
table the better. Our success and our
greatness as a nation are founded
largely upon our natural resources.
II ethics and faith be the essence Of
trade, and IL all commerce Ii founded
thereon, as it must be, then tbe same
principle should extend 70 oil CONNER
cial and manufacturing operations.
Years ago in Great Britain they had
laws which prevented q merchan. from
misbranding his goods, but that was
no, sufficient. because it was possible
10 eyade the provisions Of the law in
the matter Of foods and drinks by
adulterating them, So, some t~eiNy'
five years ago, still further to protect
the people Of Great Britain, parlia'
ment enacted what is called the Focd'
aud Drugs act, law which is still IN
active foics among Engiisbmen.
We have been SLOW 10 follow in tbs
footsteps Of Great Britain. Among
the first laws passed by our state leg

CHAPTER VI.

Having secured the small crops they
built large ice house on the shore OF
the lake north OF the old fort in a
group of small spruce trees, cutting
out space large enough for it. The
walls OF the ice house were made OF
small logs, the space between stuffed
with moss. Then fish were caught and
the hunters killed game to salt for
winter use. Winter set in early and
ducks aud geese came in great ilocks
and hundreds were killed, their feath-
ers being saved for pillows and the
bodies hung mp TO freeze for winter
use. As soon as the snow came they
were packed in snow, and kept nice
and fresh. About December y. the
shortest days in the year, they filed
the ice house. and the cold began TO
get very severe, 80 cold that they
took their tents, hanled . boat across
the isle on the snow TO Salt Lake,
crossed TO one OF the large islands. put
up their tents and lived iipf climate

plenty here and wild game up Sal,
River was plenty. Weekly trips across
70 the old fort brought them provision
