Faithful Act
Is Rewarded

HMILY WRIGHT, summoned to Mr..
h. Davis private office, had no pre-
~ sentiment ot iii; indeed, walking
up through the bright spring morning,
she had been unusually happy and full
of eager plans. She knew that she was
doing good work, and her thoughts had
run upon the possibility of promotion
and what she couid do for her sister
and little Donald. SO she only waited
cheerful and alert for Mr.. Davis Or
ders.
Three minutes later she walked slow
ly down the corridor. Dismissed! She
never had thought of the possibility of
such a thing, ret once. One weeks
more work. and then the old heart
sickening search again. She could have

meaning to be kind, looked up as Emily
walked back to her desk.
Have they fired you?" she asked.
'It's a shame! They always do lay off
the latest comers in July, but they
missed It in giving you walking
ticket. I'd like to fell Mr.. Davis so.'

80, l shant, you needn't fear. I'm
afraid of my life with him, but I'd like
to. If I were you wouldn't hurt my
self with work this week, that's ALL"
1t was Emily's own first impulse
not indeed in retaliation, but from sheer
art-sickness; but presently she pulled
herself together
I'm paid for the weeks work. I
must give honorable service" she said
to herself, sternly And so, because
honorable service meant to her finish
ing tasks regardless Of time, she stayed
beyond her hour several nights that
week.
She was tempted to drop things at
O'Clock, as Ethel did--Ethel, who was
to be kept on. In tie mood of discour-
agement that was upon her, the very
dreariness of the office, emptied of all
except one or two special workers, op-
pressed her Yet she stayed, putting
into exquisite order each days work.
1t was Friday, while she was wearily
typewriting some specifications, that
she was startled by Mr.. Davis voice
beside her.
"Miss Wright. what are you doing
here?"
Finishing this work-it came in the
last mall" Emily replied.
"Are you not IN leave Saturday,"
EYES," the girl answered, briefly. The
question seemed needlessly cruel.
"Yet you are staying overtime?"
Emily looked 1t him gravely. "My
work is here until Saturday night" she
said.
Mr.. Davis keen glance flashed from
her face to her copy, perfect in each
detail.
Miss Wright" he said, "I am going
to take the responsibility of asking you,
for the company, to continue your
service with us we can better afford
to lose a little money than to lose one
who So honors her trust-and herself"
Out in the Sumner evening Emily
walked home with shining eyes. 1t
was good, oh, so good! to have the
place, but underneath was something
better. She HAD not failed herself

expensive. Excellent recipes are found
in almost all magazines and newspa-
pers, and while some of them are
failures, 1t Is often as much the fault
of the person or her cooking stove as
of the recipe.
Mistakes in print are responsible
quite often, but taken collectively the
woman in any part of the country who
possesses average judgment will know
whether the recipes are good or "out

father who said to his daughter,

but ended in the girl becoming an ex-
pert cook. 1t would be very expensive
for a girl to attend an up-to-date
cooking school unless she really de-
sired to enter the business for money
making, in which case it might be to
her advantage to go to the city.

What is the most valuable American
coin? LEONORE.
The 1904 silver dollar is our rarest
coin, and is worth $500. 1t Is hardly
likely that you will ever come across
one outside of fine collection. 1901
dollars are often altered to 1904, but
would never deceive an expert.
Some of my friends can read the

which can prevent this? HARRY.
Place them face down on blotting
paper cheesecloth or any other abb
sorbent material but be careful not to
pile them.
Is it true that in some parts of the
world cows wear glasses? NED.
Yes; on the prairies of Russia cows
wear spectacles made of smoked glass
and leather. This invention was the
thought of some kind person who saw
how dreadfully the cattle suffered
from the dazzling whiteness of the
snow when turned out to pasture In
the spring.

Many trees now growing in Cali

OF course, our boys are not mililon-

many dollars. But many of them Will
soon be thinking about the work which
they mean to do in the world, ana
there Is one profession now open 10
young men which will be important IN
giving our country forests in later
years.
The profession or business of forest
ry is one which is becoming more and
more important every day. 1t Is one
of the few openings for young men
where there is a demand for more
help. instead of the crowded condition
which prevails In SO many OF the we'll

There are two ways to study fores-
try. One calls for college course,
followed by several years OF thorough
technical training. The course OF study
and the requirements are on the same
footing with those for the mining or
civil engineer This training fits man
for professional forestry.
The forester must study the laws OF
nature which govern the growth OF
trees, singly or in mass. He must un-
derstand the life activities OF the tree,
how 1t produces and sows its seeds.
what 1t needs In order to thrive and
structure.
He must also understand the use OF
forests. This Is very important
branch of the science. Forest men,
suration, for instance, would be- re-
quired when the purchase of new
piece of woodland was under consider
alton. The forester would be able to
tell how many telegraph poles or fence
posts, how many board feet of lumber
the standing trees will make.
Here are some of the questions which
the trained forester will be- called upon
to answer.
Where is the next generation oi
trees to come from2
What trees will it pay to cut now?
How is the timber to be got out oi
the woods most cheaply and with least
harm to the future forest?
How may forest fires best be pre-.

FROST rs LEFT OUT
Former President of @. & M. Has No
Word in It's Management

Since the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric railroad went into the hands
of a receiver, many persons have asked
questions similar to this:
"Wonder if G. A, Frost has anything
whatever to do with the running Of the
road which he built along the north
shOre?0 a,
It is said that he has absolutely nothing
to do with the operation of the road
under the receivers and that he is not
even retained in an advisory capacity
even though he is still the president of
the line. It is said that it was his own
wish that he be relieved from all re-
sponsibility Of managing the road, that
he wished the receivers to take entire
charge of it until such time that it
may be returned to the stockholders, at
which time Mr.. Frost will again assume
control The general feeling among
officials of the road is that the road
will come back into Mr.. Frost IS hands
in perhaps a year or Is months, provid-
ing it pays in the way it is expected it
will.
A fact of interest in connection with
A. G. Frost and his railroad troubles
lis that last year, Just when his trou-
bles began to appear on the horizon, he
lost by fire two fine automobiles in Chi
cago. Both cars were insured for
$4,000 and $4,000 and it is said that
Mr.. Frost at once turned the money
into the operation Of the electric road.
Furthermore, it now comes out that
Mr.. Frost tried to keep the road going
even at the sacrifice of his own fortune,
in other ways as well as the above. He
sold his palatial home in Chicago a
number of months ago and he is said to
have turned every cent of that money
into the road s treasury in order to
hold matters along time longer. That
was when the financial stringency
struck the country and when he, like
all others, was experiencing trouble
getting money
| In connection with the fact that the
A. L. Drum Engineering company has
charge of the engineering work fo1
building the extension in Milwaukee, it
is stated that Mr.. Drum, formerly one
Of the managers Of the road, is not an
official of the line under the receivers
1t is said that by the arrangement with
the receivers he and his engineering
firm, which he is said to have formed
for the purpose of building the exten-
sion, will get 4 per cent Of the total
cost of building the extension. In
other words, if the extension costs
$1,OOo,Oo0, they will get $4,000 for en-
cheering the extension. Mr.. Drum is
an expert engineer and is to direct this
end of the work.
