showed Them How.

The industriousness of a colony OF
beavers at Little Mud Lake last fall
has saved the government large out
lay of money. dam was built for
the purpose of raising and conserving
the water in Little Mud Lake In order
that it might be let loose in a water
way at times when low water threat
ened to hamper navigation or Interfere
with the many industries which are
dependent upon the canal for power.
When the dam was completed it was
found that the water of the lake backed
up and commenced running in the
wrong direction. 1t was thereupon de-
cided to build second dam at the
northern outlet.
When a survey party reached the
spot. to the amazement of everybody
1T was found that a perfect dam, 7o0
feet deep, had been built by the beav-
ers during the winter months. There is
not a leak observable and no likeli-
hood of the structure giving way for
years to come.

A Bargain Railroad Ticket.

The next time you go to Switzerland,

very good.
"A ticket for a month. third class,
costs just $l2, and upon it's expiration

Flats.
(SucceSS)


Flats are now cultivated extensively
thruout the country. Some varieties
are short and scrubby: others grow to
an immense height. Almost every HAT
has a spinal column running up and
down its center. This is the elevator
shaft. and consists of hot air.
When fiat is more costly than
people can afford to live In. 1t is called
an apartment. A fiat in it's primitive
state consists of small bathroom,
almost completely surrounded by total
darkness.
A fiat is a. substitute for home, at one
time popular winter and summer re-
sort, where traditions were allowed to
grow UP carelessly. Now In every we'll
conducted fiat the traditions are drawn
out every morning thru tube by the
pneumatic cleaning process.
Babies happen occasionally, even IN
the best regulated flats. Thus we see
that nature. even under modern sur
Vigilance, sometimes mods.
Flats are constantly growing In size
and Importance. 1t is estimated that
very soon they will hold all the people
in the world, who will then come to
depend entirely upon our fertile roof
garden for their means of sustenance.
Flats have an awful mean tempera-
ture of two degrees below zero In win
ter and 80 degrees above zero in sum-
mer.
When all the trees have been made
into flats, 1t is thought the millennium
will have arrived. Every fiat has the
word welcome" over the kitchen door.

Tho Indian Sion Language.

The Indian sign language llVea up
to part of its appellation. at least. II
is all signs. The signs used are the
natural ones. and are as simple as
simplicity itself.
Did you ever notice Iow the paws
of small animals are curved In when
they are dead? That is the sign for
"died" or dead and to make 1t you
hold one hand out, with finger bent
in toward the thumb. However, should
you wish to say that someone had been
killed, you would hold out your fist
with the knuckles away from you, and
then move the wrist slowly so as to
force the knuckles downward, indicat-
ing in this way that the person was
struck down. The sign to indicate fear
to express that someone was afraid OF
that you had been frightened. is to
place your right hand over your heart
and then move that hand up to your
throat
Should you meet blanket Indian OF
any tribe, somewhere out on the broad
prairie, and wish to ask him where wa
ter may be found, make scoop OF
your hand, and put 1T to your mouth
as you would If drinking at a stream.
When he replies, if it is a river that
he wishes to tell you of, he will make
the same sign Of water, and then trace
the meandering course of a stresm
with his index finger; and If a lake, ne
will spread. out his hand to cover
large space.
The sign for walking is a splendid
one. Hold your hand down, shut up
two fingers and the thumb, and then
make the two fingers that are free go
forward and back like the legs OF a
person in walking.
If you make a letter A with your two
hands and lock the ends Of your fin
gers, that is a tepee, or tent Keep
your hands in that same position and
bend them down, so that your fingers
point away from you, and you have
made the sign of a house--and very
good one it is, because it shows how
the logs are interlocked at the corners
of the sort of house the white settler
used to construct on the frontier.

pion Of Australia, in the sixthi round
of a scheduled twenty round fight here

o'clock in the afternoon and jaroused
more interest than the Burnst-Squires
tight, held last week at Sydney. As
in the case of the Squires contest, the
battle drew record crowd anxious to
see the go. Many sailors from the
American warsTlips at present In port,
attended the fight.
+ Lang was no match for the Ameri-
can champion who was in much better
shape than he was when he fought
Squires. AT that time; Burns took
thirteen rounds to put away the former
pride of Australia. With Lang it was
d different affair Burns went at him
right from the start. He followed the
Australian closely and astonished the
crowd with his fast footwork, which
completely dazzled his opponent. The
blows Lang landed never troubled
Burns in the least. while he had Bill
