The farmers of the Northwest now have
trust by refusing to buy sisal Irvine. The
trust is loaded up with sisal fibre and is at
tempting to dispose of it at high price, but
if the farmers refuse to buy the stuff they
will break the corner and prices will then be
what they ought to be. One way to do this
is TO patronize the Irvine plant at the peniten-
tiary. That institution is furnishing pure
Manila Irvine at a less price than the trust
is q great deal better than sisaI. This is
worth looking into. -Bottineau News.

So saying the little apprentice took
strip of iron, laid it on the Goals,
waited until it was red-hot, red and
incansdescent, then grasped it in his
naked hands, laid it on the anvil,
raised his hammer, and, cling, elang,
in the twinkling Of any eye, and shoe
was finished.
At the same instant a cavalier, a
superbly mounted cavalier, galloped
into the village and drew rein be-
fore Maitre Eloi's door. Now, the
cavalier was. Saint Martin.
"My horse has dropped two shoes,
said he, "are you first class work
man? I am in hurry
Maitre Eloi, blinded by his pride.
responded, "Monsieur, the ablest
blacksmith Of all France stands be-
fore you. Little one, come, hold
the horses foot
"Hold the foot?" exclaimed the
apprentice in a surprised tone, "ln
my country that is not necessary.
"Indeed, that is too droll! And
pray how can one shape the hoot o.
fit the shoe without holding tte
horses foot?'
Nothing is simpler, Master, of all
the Masters. '"
Selling "a hatchet, the little appren-
tice approached the horse, cut off d
foot, carried it into the shop, fasten-
ed it in wise, shaped the hoof, ap-
piled the shoe which he had just forg-
ed, and drove the nails home, one by
one. When he replaced the foot, the
wound healed as if by magic, and an
instant afterward the steer was
proudly prancing around the square.
The eyes of the bystanders opened
wide as saucers, and Maitre Eloi be-
gan to sweat.
"Ho!" said he at length, ''Pardl
if I wanted to, I could do the same
trick"
Unwilling to be vanquished by an
apprentice, the blacksmith set to
work. Hatchet in hand, he drew near
the horse and chopped off another
foot, a bleeding, quiverlng foot,
which he carried into the shop and
fastened in a wise, just as the little
apprentice had done. Smiling and at
his leisure, he shaped the hoof, fitted
a shoe snugly in place and with the
experienced hand Of master work
man drove the nails home one by one.
Then, and there was the hitch, 1t
was necessary to restore the foot. HE
applied it carefully. as best he could.
to the mutilated stump, but as soon as
he withdrew bis hand the foot tumb-
led to earth in a puddle of blood.
Then a great light broke upon the
naughty blacksmith, his proud spirit
was at last subdued and broken, and
he turned to throw himself PROSTATE
at the feet of the little apprentice, but
the child had vanished, the cavalier
had vanished, the horse had vanish
ed, the bystanders had vanished, and
Maitre Eloi stood alone before his
doorway; stood alone, with bowed
head, stood alone in the sunshine,
while tears streamed from his eyes.
He had learned that there is but one
Master Of all the Masters, and with
an humble prayer upon his lips, he
cast aside his leather apron, closed
his shop forever, and became monk
of Montmajour.

lWomen's Que stions Answered
! BY CYNTHIA GREY

Dear Miss Grey-When a young
man calls to see me he calls only
once or twice, then never comes
again. l treat him as well as I
can. What is wrong, and what
can 1 do to remedy the matter?
ANXIOUS
The chances are that you are so
anxious that you bore him. Posi-
bly, you are nervous and excited,
which state of mind Is readily
communicated. That may be the
reason he does not return, for it is
proverbial that boys and men like
to be comfortable in mind and
body. Learn self control, be your
own simple, natural self, treat him
Just as If he were one 70 your girl
friends, and don't show too much
anxiety to be entertaining. If you
are at your ease he will be, and If
he is he will come again.
Dear Miss Grey-Am l too young
at the age of Ia to 60 with the
boys? A READER
You surely are. Be a little girl,
wear your skirts short and your
hair braided down your back just
as long as you can. Go on playing
with dolls and going to school UNI
til you are IS, at least. Forget
about the boys. You'll be glad
you did, some day, for you'll be a
little girl such short time and a
woman such a long, long time.
Dear Miss Grey-How can l use
peroxide of hydrogen for removing
freckles? VIII it injure tht skin?
H. M. M.
Peroxide will not bleach freckles.
Frequent use of this drug is bad
for the complexion.
Dear Miss Grey-I am only 16,
but have lines under my eyes. Will
you tell mt how to remove them,
and how properly to massage?
GIRL
Battle the eyes with hot water,
followed by cold water. Wrinkles
are often due to squirting or pecu-
liarities of expression. The squint
may be from defective sight. See
an eye specialist. Rub the skin
from the nose outward. Avoid
bright lights shinig into your face.

Stang" thought Adam. "Were
l tomorrow to see a lady fall of
the metropolitan tower, would not
help her to her feet"
Flees on Two Good Legs.
But justice was on the trail OF
the deceiver. Detective Fox had
been standing across the street
when Adam was smeared over the
flagstones, and the young woman
making even better time than Doc
Cook in his final dash, sped by him
on two very good legs. There was
no doubt about the legs, as she was
holding up her skirts high in order
to keep them from hampering heI
speed. Fox lit out on the trail, and
was joined a block further by De-
tective Nilon. 1t took them four
blocks to overhaul the lady, but
they got her. And the matron at
the station found a $40 bill in one
of her stockings.
Adam claimed to recognize a
strawberry mark on that bill, and
the lady was held on a charge of
grand larceny.
The moral of this story Is: When
you come to New York, either leave
your money In the safe or else stay
on the other side of the street.
