real dentist. Maud Marian settled him
comfortably and put the towel around
his neck, which Don didn't at all mind
for q few moments. Perhaps all would
have gone well If Don had not hap
pened to look out of the window and
see a cat. 1t was a neighboring cat
that Don particularly detested. and II
made him very cross to see snow.
which was the cats name, perambu-
lating Independently right outside his
own window. Don uttered sharp,
warning bark and got hastily down out
of the dentists chair without even ex-
cusing himself to the dentist.
"Never mind. I'd give 1t up" pur-
sued Theresa. "Don might have bitten
you, anyway. It's a good thing he
ran"
Maud Marian was in despair for a
moment. She could not bear not being
able to use the lovely collection of
instruments she had gathered. Then
her face frightened. There's Mary
Bell" she said jubilantly. "She should
have her teeth attended to-"
Theresa looked troubled. Mary Bell.
the Paris doll, had had so many un-
comfortable things happen to her
since she had belonged to Maud Mar
ian that Theresa felt very sorry for
her. But Maud Marian did not wait
to hear what Theresa had TO say
about it.
Maud Marian said that the troubls
was with one of Mary Bells back
teeth, which needed to be filled. To
get at it the young dentist had to push
an instrument through the scarcely
parted front teeth. Maud Marian
tried her finest instruments, but not
one of them would so through. open"
she said a great many times, just as
the real dentist had said to her. but
Mary Bells rosy lips and her pearly
teeth refused to open bit wider than
their usual ladylike smile.
She'll have to have a wedge be-
tween her teeth for couple of days
to wedge those teeth apart" com
mented Maud Marian, wisely. The
resa looked more cheerful. Perhaps,
after all, Mary Bell would not be hurt
very much. She knew that if Maud
Marian put a wedge in her teeth she
would forget all about dentistry when
the time was up for completing the
operation.
Maud Marian whitfield a very tiny
wedge from a silver of wood. Then
she proceeded to thrust 1t between
Mary Bells teeth. 1t didn't go in very
easily. Maud Marian pushed harder.

He liked to watch the f1reflies lighting
up the forest with their candles, and to
hear about the beautiful rainbow which
he believed was the heaven of the wild
flowers.
One day, Iagoo. who was a friend of
Nokoms came to visit the wigwam.
He said that Hiawatha should have a
bow and arrows, and made them for
him. AS soon as they were made Hia-
watha ran into the forest with them
to show them to his little friends there.
When they saw the bow and arrows
they were afraid, and hid, but Hia-
watha called to them that he would not
hurt them.
So he lived among them, and was
their friend always, and he grew to be
a strong, brave and gentle man. and
was ever good to the weak and helpless.

A STRANGE NUT

On the islands of the Pacific ocean
grows one of the strangest nuts in the
world 1t may be used either as
candle or a food, or be made into an
ink for tattooing. The natives call It
the candle nut The kernel is so full of
oil that when dried 1t can be stuck In
a reed and used as a candle. The ma
tive boys and girls go nutting for the
candle nuts in the woods of Hawaii.
The nuts are not eaten as you would
eat a hickory nut or a walnut. but the
kernels are removed, smashed into
paste, and when seasoned with salt and
pepper make an appetizing dish. The
shell of the nut may be burned and
used to make an indelible ink with
which the natives tattoo themselves.

STORY OF HIAWATHA

Once there was little Indian boy
named Hiawatha. His mother was
called away from this world al
most as soon as he came into it, so
his good old grandmother, Nokomis,
took care of the baby boy. She lived
in a wigwam by the shores of the
Gitche Ounce ("the Shining Big Sea
Water"). She made a cradle of the lin
den tree and lined it with soft moss
and rushes-for Hiawatha had no little
white bed. Nokomis sometimes carried
the cradle on her back as she went
about her work, but when she had
other burdens to carry she hung the
cradle, with little Hiawatha in 1t, on a
branch of a tree where the wind would
rock it, But at night the baby would
lie in the wigwam near his grandmother
and listen to the sounds of the animals
in the forest.
AS Hiawatha grew older he went into
the woods behinds the wigwam to play
with the pretty brown cones that fell
from the big fir trees. AS he played he
scattered about on the ground crumbs
from his bread, and the birds and squir-
rels ate them, and they soon learned
that Hiawatha would not hurt them
and they would come at his call. Hia-
Watha called the birds his chickens"
In the evenings Nol<omis and Hia-
watha would sit at the door of the
wigWam and Nokomis would tell the
little boy stories of the moon and stars.

When I Go to Grandma S House
BY JEAN CROSBY BRIDGHAM

When / go to my grandma's house,
just Mary Jane and I,
She bakes us cookies, big and brown,
And sometimes apple pie.
We always eat our lunch at noon,
Down in the meadow green;
just where brookiet flows along,
The clearest ever seen.
And there we see the squirrels
Frisking gaily In the trees,
And we watch the meadow butter cups
A-nodding In the breeze.
But when / go to grandma's house
The time that 1 like best
Is in the evening, after tea
When we sit down to rest.
Then grandma holds me on her lap
And tells me tales, you know,
Until the old clock on the shelf
Says that It's time to so.
Then grandpa bitches up the horse
Before it's very late,
So that can be home again
At just exactly eight.

Betty's Monkey

Betty was just 2k years old when she
met her first organ-grinder, rough,
black bearded, with clever little
monkey. versed in many tricks, for
boon companion.
When his masters b&t was thrown
upon the ground, briri uppermost, over
in a perfect somersault he would go,
coming up with the hat held upon his

When Betty returned home she said

a boy, and he turned summerset In
his faYer's hat"

 "So vanishes this as has vanished every other anticipation of any sub stantlal revenue from this rotten. wasteful, deceitful conern No man can touch 1t or have anything to do with 1t without being ruined Canal Failure. The canal was doomed 10 failure. Two facts were advanced in a review If the canal published in 1850 to ac- count for It's unprofitable character. | One was that 1t could never get any large share of passenger travel; the other that the company did not carry on transporta lion itself but simply col lected tolls on the boats which used it's waters. There were also the in- herent disadvantages common to canals in our latitude. Operation was liable to be suspended by flood and drought and for the four months of winter of each year navigation was utterly stopped by Ice. For these reasons during the entire period of the canals active existence, It's managers were al- ways on the defensive. Ordinary ex- penses were shown to be taken care of by the ordinary receipts. But extra ordinary expenses called for unusual Assessments on stock and other desper- ate meane of raising money. New Ha- lyen business men and the civilized world were looking for better system of transportation. Human ingenuity WIS working on the problem. The dawn of the new era which In the short space Wf twenty-five years was to make canals antiquated and advance Ithe world to a new age Of commercial prosperity was already bringing light Ito the discouraged promoters of old en- lterprises such as that of our canal company.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In investigating the charges against
the fire department tonight, the city
council should probe them to the bot
tom, not for the purpose OF oustlhg
Chief Schneider or any of the depart
ment, but to discover if the fire OF
last Wednesday was properly handled.
Jfitwas. the council owes it to the
firemen to make the fact known as
widely as was the criticism on that
occasion. If the management was not
I'D to what should be expected, and the
department is not mp to the standard
demanded by the large amount of
property depending upon it for safety,
the incompetents should be weeded
out, regardless of who they are. The
Aberdeen fire department is equipped
with more than $4,000 worth of APP
Notwithstanding the fire alarm sys-
tem-and is costing about $1,000 a
month for maintenance, and the people
are entitled to all the protection this
equipment is capable of when in
diligently directed.
We believe Chief Schneider to be
mistaken when he says those charges
were preferred for political reasons.
They were made by w. B. Mack, as
manager of one of the largest indus
tries on Grays Harbor, the plant of
which, he says, was placed in jeopar-
dy through the incompetent manage
men of the department at that fire.
The fact that the engine was out of
order should be diligently inquired
into. The chief should KNOW, not
think, that every particle of the APP
paratus is in working order at all times.
If blame there is, the council should
allow no personal considerations to
sway their actions If, on the other
hand, all was done that was possible
the department should be publicly alb
solved from all censure.
