of wheat, except in shocks ready
for stacking.
Stephen, I'm so proud of you
that I can hardly find words to
express myself! said Alice.
Yes, 1 think he's just the sort
of q brother to have, said Frank;
whereupon Alice blushed and
turned away with a smile.
! From poverty to plenty, said
Mr.. Webster. The world is so
bright that I feel hymns Of
thanksgiving on my lips pretty
near all the time for being blessed
with such son.

she softly patted her boys hand,

There's no circus in town, Is

Why, it's a binder! See the

That's what it is! It's a whole
string of binders with a process
sion a mile long behind them.
Why, there comes Steve ahead
on horseback! and the old man
jumped up and rushed down
stairs.
see it! I see it all, my boy!
said he, clinging to Stephens
hand at the gate, a little later.
And there was new light in his
glance.
l would have told you before,
father, said Stephen, but I was
so afraid you might be too much
disappointed if the thing fell
through. There are eighteen
binders going into that grain that
will cuta wide swatb; and, father,
there are plenty of kind men in
this world, after all. The deal

NEW USE FOR DUST

The shoes of policemen's boots made
of goats hair, seaweed, dust and gum!
This is not a recipe from "Alice in Won
derland," says the Detroit NeOcs- Tribune.
but the composition Of substitute for
leather, invented by John Campbell, 4
chemist, long employed in the rubber
trade.
From seaweed, carpet dust, goats hair.
Irish moss, gums and a. chemical process
which is his secret, Mr.. Campbell has
already made the following astonishing
list of commodities:
Policemen's boots, ornamental mold
ings, partitions, beltings, upholstery,
bobbins (for cotton spinning), electric
switchboards, flooring, golf balls, "mar-
ble'', in all colors, chess boards, book
bindings and "ivory" combs.
Mr.. Campbell makes no startling claims
for his invention, and admits that his
composite is not equal to materials of the
highest quality, but he says that in the
case of leather, for instance, it provides
an excellent Substitute in the manufac'
ture of goods which could not bear the
price of the best hides.
