Some time ago John Messenger

dog. Jack. and the rest of the family.
The dog did not relish the change put
remained with the family for several
weeks. One day he started north AFTER
a lack rabbit. That was the last Mr.
Messenger saw of the dog, hut evident
Nv by the time the dog gave up the
chase. he concluded that while ne was
started he would come back to COO s
country" and without ever looking
back. so far as known, he hot-footed
over the trail he had taken and ar
rived at the old home ten days after ne
had scared up the Jacket rabbit. inc
distance Is close to 1000 miles SO the
dog made a record of about 100 miles
day. The speed with which he re-
turned to Iowa would indicate that
his Judgment was excellent, and his
instinct of very high order, to say
nothing OF his peripatetic ability.

A campaign is proposed against the

criticism that can be lodged against
it is that it was not inaugurated long

And the wild duck and brant are all
on the wing,
When the prairie grouse voices its

And the crane sounds its call in
sharp thrilling key,
When the smell of the earth fills the

Recalling the time when he was boy.
Old nature responds, no matter what's

And the white mans an Indian as well
as the red.
His clothing gives way to an ole duck

Which makes the man look like hobo

With look OF defiance he crawls
through the grass

if it pass.
And he wades through the water and
hides In the reeds
Near the place where the wild duck
assemblies and feeds,
His decoys are put out and he's scan
ming the sky
OF course he's an Indian, you can tell
by his eye.
Hid away in the rushes he shivering
lies,
While the birds are but specks in the
blue of the skies.

from the cold
Then he 'lies" standing up, those

How they dropped on all sides, but

.sWere SO wild they had burrowed in

And he hobbies around as stiff as a
rail,
he's an Indian, but somewhat unused
to the trail.
Yes, man is an Indian. a blood thirsty
thing
When the birds flying northwards are
heard in the spring.
To the "calI of the wild" he hastens il

And life all at once is grand jubilee

the best varieties which command
the highest market price as box ap-

such fruit the Wenatchee valley GER

Every farmers wife knows what ire

have; but while they eat we'll they
work well, too.
Here's good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive ia
tigue. There is a sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. 20

The Boy Collector.

One day the front door bell of a GER
tain Toronto house rang. and the mis-
tress of the home. answering the sum-
mons. found on the threshold dimin-
utive Irish lad.
"Well." she queried. what is it,"
I've come for the money" was the
laconic but cryptic response.
The lady had no idea what the boy
meant, but finally the latter made 1t
clear that he had come to collect a
small sum owing on a parcel which
had been delivered to visitor in the
house. The lady paid the money and
then suggested that she be given a
receipt.
Receipt: What's that% asked the
small but determined collector.
The lady explained that as they were
each acting the part of agents in the
transaction it would be advisable for
him to give her sonnet hing in the shape
of voucher
The lads business education evident
~ did not include knowledge of the
technicalities of any such formal pro-
ceeding as this. but he was bright
and Irish. So. with the remark "Aw.
know what you want now" be wrote
on the back of the memorandum he
had brought with him:

and got it."
