unable to attach any meaning to it.

"Oh, | see you do not know what q

Well have you ever seen a cow graz

Newport Band Made a Hit

The Newport band accompanied the
excursion on the steamer lone and its
music served to liven up the trip. The
boys have been practicing steadily and
are rounding into fine shape. MANY of
the strangers on the boat mplimented
the band on the excellent music thew
rendered. The excursion party was
the largest OF the season, Newport peo-
pie literally patronizing it and showing
that they appreciated the presence Of
the band.

CAUGHT a "MOuntain Lion"

Residents in the vicinity of Jurgens'
mill are breathing easier now. After a
weeks excitement regarding cougar or
wildcat that had been terrorizing the
district, they are now resting easy at
night. The yarmint has been captured.
Things were looking bad down that
way for awhile. "Kentuck" Boggs, who
is acting as night watch on the Ruth,
had to keep awake. laid in an extra stock
of ammunition and was extra vigilant.
Some Of the boys working at the mill
were considering the question of carry
ing firearms ON their way to and from
the jungles. and Ernest Lorentz, whose
provisions the midnight marauder had
despoiled, lost a lot of sleep waiting for
the animal to step into the traps that
had been set for it.
The end came on Friday night. Mr..
Lorentz was rewarded along during the
late hours by an unearthly yell. Selling
his big stick he rushed out into the
thickest of the Jungle from whence the
yell came. He smote the animal a
vicious smote and all was over. The
rest of the residents had been aroused
and rushed to the scene, and found-a
poor, little. half-starved kitten in the
trap in the last throes Of death.
1t is hardly safe to say cougar or wild
cat down in that neck of the woods at
the present writing.

kadiak islands Queer Climate,

Of the abnormal climate Of Kadiak
island. Alaska, writer says: In spite
of it's situation in such high ATTITUDES
we find here what may we'll be de-
scribed as the parting of the ways be-
tween the arctic and more temperate
regions. For, thanks to the moderating
influence of the Japanese current
which flows along it's southern coasts,
Kadiak is favored with climatic condi-
tons such as are unknown even in
places few miles north or east of it
on the mainland of Alaska. So pro-
nounced is the demarcation line that
even on the island itself traveller in
summer will suddenly emerge from
amid forests and vegetation of almost
tropical luxuriance into a barren, des-
olate land of silence, where lofty snow
capped mountains tower aloft, brood
ing, as it were, over the past terrors Of
an arctic winter, which will soon de-
scend once more, enveloping them in
its icy grip

SWEET PEACH PICKLES.

which l think your Home Circle
readers will like. Make syrup
of three pounds of sugar and
one quart of vinegar. Prepare
the peaches by peeling them and
sticking three or four cloves in

WATERMELON RIND PRESERVES.
Dear Aunt Mary Here is
my recipe 10: making watermel
on rind preserves. Cut all the
red from the inside aud peel the
green from the outside o.
the rind, With a sharp knife.
Then cut irto small pieces and
boil in clear water until tender,
then take out and drain the wa
ter from them. Next weigh
them. To every pound Of the
rind use one and one half pounds
of sugar. Make a syrup OF the
sugar and water and drop the
rind into the boiling syrup and
into this slice lemons. Use two
lemons to a gallon of preserves.
Boil until the rind looks clear
and the syrup is thick. Place
in jars while hot and make sure
to have sufficient syrup to cover
them ard lhen seal.

HOW TO CAN CORN.

corn put up this way is fine for

Take the corn when we'll filled
and while tender, throw in scald-
ing water few minutes 10 stop
the milk. Then cut from the
cob, add l cup of salt to 13 OF
corn. Boil until just done and
tender. Can while hot. Too
much boiling hardens it. rhis
keeps well.
