gained his feet and fed. Finally the
boy reached the door of his mothers
kitchen, which was open, and darted
in less than yard ahead Of the dog.
The dog leaped in just as Earl
threw his weight against the door to
shut his pursuer out. The animals
head was caught between the door and
the jamb and Earl held it there while
it struggled and fought to reach him
with it's teeth.
Near the door was hammer lying
on a table. Holding the door closed
with one hand, Earl was able to seize
the hammer With the dog securely
held in the door as in a wise, Earl
dealt blow after blow upon the dogs
head with the hammer. When the
crowd that had pushed the rabid ami
NAL reached the Rice home the dogs
skull was beaten to pulp, and Earl
was still pluckily holding the door and
showering more blows upon the body.
The boy collapsed as he released his
hold on the door, and the dog fell limp
to the floor His leg had been terribly
lacerated and he was bruised and cut
from his falls during his battle with
the animal A physician was summoned
and his wounds were cauteriZed. 1t is
thought he will recover.

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with THE
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of alb
solute test for purity National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send testing outfit free to
any one interested.

ILL.,, BEATS OUT ANIMALS
BRAINS WITH HAMMER.
WOMEN TERRORIZED By BRUTE

Lad Closes Door on Neck of His
Pursuer and Beats in
His Skull.

st. Louis.-Earl Rice, ten years old,
killed a mad dog in a fierce single
handed fight at his home in Alton, ILL.,,
the other day. The boy beat out the
dogs brains with a hammer after he
had closed a door upon it's neck and
held it as in a wise. The dog had at
tackled a dozen persons and had been
pursued by crowd of men, armed
with clubs, stones and guns, who
failed to kill it. The boy was pain
fully bitten and bruised in the fight.
The dog ran amuck on Ridge street,
in the eastern part of Alton. After
swapping at several persons the ami
NAL started up the middle of the street
yelping and biting at everyone it en-
countered. Several women and chill
dren had narrow escapes, and one man
was knocked down when the dog
lunged at him.
A crowd gathered and, armed with
clubs and stones, started in pursuit of
the dog. Several men shot at the ami
NAL, but missed it, and a shower of
missiles struck it without stopping its
progress. Two men cornered the dog
in doorway and for a moment the
crowd in pursuit thought it would be
killed. The men beat it over the head
with clubs, but before a gun could be
procured the animal darted between
the men and started again on it's ram
page.
Earl Rice was playing near his
home, No. 10 Ridge street, with sew
eral other boys, when the dog started
toward the group. The children scat
tered and the animal singled out Earl
to attack. The boy ran toward his
home, with the dog only few feet be-
hind him, and just as he reached his
yard the dog bounced Upon him.
The dog fastened its teeth in Earrs
leg and dragged him to the ground.
The boy arose and ran again toward
the house. He gained but a few feet
when he was knocked down by another

Moose Jaw. Sask., Nov. is

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov 18th, 1907.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says:
Il have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year l had 500
acres in wheat, and 100 acres in oats.
My wheat averaged about % bushels
per acre, and l had 200 acres cut be-
fore the frost, which l sold at S5
cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost Of Irvine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other 500 acres of wheat,
it got touched with frost but is worth
60 cents per bushel. 1t will net me
$500 per acre, but l do not intend
to sell it at that price, as I can make
more money by feeding it to hogs.
MY oats turned out about so bushels
to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel
will give me $17.00 to the acre, not
counting seed, Irvine and labor
"On account of the late spring, a
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost, but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize a fair
profit on their farms even this year.
We are as usual up against a short
age of cars to get our grain removed"

How to Get Mild, Gentle and Sym.
pathetic Speech.

Cultivate {. mild, gentle and sympa.
Lippincott's.
And the way to secure a mild, gen.
tie and sympathetic voice is to be
mild, gentle and sympathetic.
The voice is the index of the soul
Children do not pay much attention
to your words-they judge of your in
tents by your voice.
Your voice treasures. "My sheep
know my voice."
We Judge one another more by
voice than language, for voice colors
speech, and if your voice does not
corroborate your words, doubt will fol-
low.
We are won or repealed by voice
Your dog does not obey your words;
he does, however, read your intents in
your voice.
The best way to cultivate voice is
not to think about it.
Actions become regal only when
they are unconscious; and the voice
that convinces, that holds us captive,
that leads and lures us on, is used by
its owner unconsciously.
Fix your mind on the thought, and
the voice will follow. If you fear you
will not be understood, you are losing
the thought-it is slipping away from
you-and you are thinking of the
voice. Then your voice rises to q
screech, subsidies into a purr, or bell
lows like the vagrant winds. Anxiety
and intent are shown, and your case
is lost.
If you fear you will not be under
stood, you probably will not. If the
voice is allowed to come naturally,
easily, gently, it will take on every
tint and emotion of the mind.
And so, to get back to the place of
beginning, the advice is this: The
best way to cultivate the voice is not
to cultivate it. The voice is the
sounding board of the soul. God
made it right. If your soul is filled
with truth, your voice will vibrate
with love, echo with sympathy and
fill your hearers with the desire to
do, to be and TO become.
Your desire will be theirs.
BY their voices We shall know them.
Peace-be still Feel that, and
then say it, and your voice shall be 6
word of command that even tho Gle
ments will obey.
