Miss Leslie followed, hardly less
curious.
Are they all dead, Mr.. Blake?" she
inquired
Wiped out-whole family. The old
cat stayed by her kittens, and all
smothered together-luchy for us! Get
busy with those bamboos, Win. I'm
going to have these skins, and the
sooner we get the cub meat hung up
and curing, the better for u.s."
Leopard meat again." rejoined
Winthrope.
Spring leopard, young and tender!
What more could you ask? Get a
move on you"
Can l do anything, Mr.. Blake?"
asked Miss Leslie.
Hunt a shady spot"
But I really mean it."
"Well, if that's straight, you might
go on along the gully, and see IL
there's any place to get to the top.
You could pick up sticks on the way
back, if any are left. Well have to
fumigate this tree hole before we
adopt 1t for residence.
"Will it be long before you finish
with your-with the bodies?"
well, now, look here, Miss Jenny;
it's going to be mess, and | wouldn't
mind hauling the carcasses clear down
the gully, out of sight, If it was to be
the only time. But it's not, and you
have got to get used to it, sooner or
later. So well start now"
Il suppose, If | must, Mr.. Blake
Really, | wish to help"
Good. That's something like!
Think you can learn to cook?"'
"See what l did this morning"
Blake took the cord of cocoanut fl
Der which she held out TO him, and
tested it's strength.
well, I'll be blessed!" lie said.
This is something like. If you don't
look out, you'll make quite a camp
mate, Miss Jenny. But now, trot
along. This is hardly arctic weather,
and our abattoir don't include a cold
storage plant. The sooner these
lambs are dressed, the better"

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found In
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
tion, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. 8

Hated to Take the Money.

Frank l. Cobb, the chief editorial
writer of the New York World. was
on a vacation in the Maine woods
once when Joseph Pulitzer, owner OF
the World, wanted to communicate
with him. Mr.. Pulitzer sent Cobb a
cipher message.
Presently a country operator drove
in to the Cobb camp and handed Cobb
the message, which read something
like this:
-aggrandiZement - grit
-gerald-roderick - hopscotch -
hamfat-publicity.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex.
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof.
fee for breakfast every morning until

producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. l tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then l tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that l soon learned to love
1t and have used it for several years.

off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all of which
were due to coffee. l am now well
and contented and all because

Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is
SO even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now in our family.

er, and forced herself to look at the
revolving sight. She found it still
more difficult to withstand the odor of
the fresh blood. Winthrope was pale
and nauseated. The sight of his dis
tress caused the girl to forget her own
loathing. She drew a deep breath,
and succeeded in countering Blake's
eXpectant look with half-smile.
How well are you getting along!"
she exclaimed.
Didn't think you could stand it. But
you've got grit all right, if you are a
lady" Blake said admiringly. Say,
you'll make it yet! Now, how about
the gully?"
There is no place to climb up. 1t
down. But there is cliff at the end,
as high as these walls"
Twenty feet" muttered Blake.
"Confound the luck. 1t isn't that
jump-off; but how in-how are we
going to get up on the cliff? There's
an everlasting lot of omelettes in
those birds nests. If only that bloom
in'-how's that, Win, me b'y?-that
bloomin', blawsted baobab was on
t'other side. The woods almost soft
as punk. We could drive in pegs,
and climb up the trunk"
There are other trees beyond it."
remarked Miss Leslie.
Then maybe we can shin up"
Il fear the branches that overhang
the cliff are too slender to bear any
weight
"And it's too Internally high to
climb up to this overhangtng baobab
limb"
Il say" ventured Winthrope, "if we
had an ak, now. we might cut up one
of the trees, and make a ladder"
ooh, yes; and if we had a ladder,
we might climb up the cliff"
But, Mr.. Blake, is there not some
way to cut down one of the trees &?
The tree itself would be ladder if it
fell in such way as to lean against
the cliff"
There's only the penknife," an
swered Blake. $50 guess we'll have
to scratch eggs off our menu card
Spring leopard for ours! Now, if you
really want to help, you might scrape
the soup bones out of your boudoir,
and fetch lot more brush. It'll take
big fire to rid the hole of that cat

will not the tree burn?"
"No; these hollow baobabs have
green bark on the inside as we'll as
out Funny thing, that! Wed have
to keep fire going a long time to
burn through"
"Yet it would burn In time?"
"Yes; but we're not going to"
"Then why not burn through the
trunk of one of those small trees, in
stead of chopping it down?"
"By-heck, Miss Jenny, you've got
an American headpiece! Come on.
Sooner we get the thing started, the
better"
Neither Winthrope nor Miss Leslie
was reluctant to leave the vicinity OF
the carcasses. They followed close
after Blake, around the monstrous
boie of the baobab. A little beyond it
stood a group of slender trees, whose
trunks averaged eight inches at the
base. Blake stopped at the second

Drudeery in the Kitchen.

The path of progress is clear. Thel g
is no more reason why the woman
in modern civilization should scrub
and cook and darn and dust than there
is why these things should be done
by men. The development of i'm
proved machinery and the growth Of
labor saving devices of all kinds will
finally obviate the necessity of doing
these things each day in each home
through the land. Cooperation, which
we are slowly learning to greet as a
friend, will overcome the drudgery
and make the life of a woman as en-
joyable and eSentful as that of the

Newest English Military Dirigible
Causes Surprise on Account
of Its Design.

LONDON, May 6.-"Army dirtg1ble NO.
O." as the new airship built in the war
balloon factory at Aldershot is at present
named, received It's first trial the other day.
It astonished all who saw 1t by the novel
design of the gas envelope.
Although but q model, the trials of which
are intended to serve the purpose Of de-
Gliding the lines upon which the British
dirigibles are to be built, the balloon Is
almost as large as the Null Secundus, the
government airship which came to disaster
at the Crystal palace. The gas envelope
made of goldbeater's skin, is constructed in
the shape of a sunfish, a sharp pointed
nose swelling out into an head
fully ninety feet around, and then tapering
away to a tail which has three flukes, one
on either side and the third on top.
Instead of hanging from the familiar net
work of cords, the car is suspended from
fine steel cables attached to a rib running
all around the under part of the balloon.
The car, with a pair of sledlike runners,
mounted ON strong springs underneath, is
of very light construction, being a simple
framework carrying the engines and seats
for two men, the whole covered in canvas.
1t is cannon shaped, tapering away be-
hind to a point, beyond which is fixed the
fleeing planes on either side to assist in
bringing the a~erostat down with a gentle
glide. The balloon appeared to be about
100 feet long, and the car less than half
that length.

HOTEL MAIL BIG PROBLEM.
SAYS MAN OF EXPERIENCE
Chief Clerk Anderson Of Rome Tells
Steps Necessary to Prevent Wrong
Persons Getting Letters.

-
Handling the mail is pne of the most
difficult problems the hotel man has to
contend WITH" said Chief Clerk Anderson
of the Rome hotel Saturday morning. and
the recent action Of the postmaster general
In providing rules for safeguarding hotel
mails, based upon the bill prepared by
President Miller of the Cincinnati Hotel
Clerks association Is a step in the right
direction.
"The Omaha hotel men have already
adopted the plan of requiring a reasonable
Identification of the party calling for his
mail, and the Cincinnati bill corresponds
with our idea. The rule provides tina the
mail shall not be, handled by the guests
or transients npr the address exposed to
view. The receipt OF mail under fictitious
names is discouraged, and all such mail is
returned to the postoffice. This neces-
sarily involves us in controversies occa-
sionally with guests, but 1t is the only
method OF absolute protection.
The hotels are not to be used for the
receipt of mails by persons who are not
guests. In some Of the larger hotels We
have a regular mail clerk who is recog-
nized as an official OF the postoffice de-
partment, and where the business of the
hotel will not warrant the employment Of
a special mail clerk, the hotel clerks are
constantly cautioned to exercise the ut
most care in the delivery of mail. It is
now impossible for a party to get any
information Of mail addressed to others
than himself in any of the Omaha hotels,
connected with the local association"
