"Indeed!" said little Binks. Well, now,
that is interesting"
Yes" said the professor. HE showed
by means of a series of pictures OF skele-
tons which his party had dug up while
making excavations in Wyoming the de-
velopment OF the animal. They ran from
a camel about the size of a rabbit, having
four toes instead of two, and absolutely
devoid Of anything like a hump, up TO
arSc- specimens OF q later period. the
most abundant OF which was a long
legged, ~long-necked camel about the size
and general build of an antelope. All the
camel characteristics were present except
some later developments of changing en-
vironment."

Not according to the reports / have

"Oh, i don't know said little Binks.

professor, gazing coldly at little Binks

The Kiss.

Something made of nothing. tasting very
sweet,
A most delicious compound, with ingredi-
ents complete!
But If as on occasion the heart and mind
are sour,
1t has no great significance, it loses half
its power.
Something made OF nothing, and never
twice the same,
Though tits known in every country
where love has had a name;
1t is clearly meant for giving, though tits
sometimes bought and sold,
And, like coffee and potatoes, is not so
good when cold.
1t oft appeases discord when words have
failed TO please,
Whether bestowed Ca~reSSingly or given
just to tease;
For a laugh will often save one from
doing something worse,
And the lips that taste this sweetness are
seldom heard TO curse.
'Tis the strangest, oldest mixture, this
something made OF naught,
winch is never seen or handled, although
It's often caught;
Which will not spoil i'm Keeping. whatever
be the cline,
For this something made Of nothing will
stand the test Of time.

Why does this being we call a gen

of spotless Wilderness n unbearable
stiffness. at his wrists similar instru-
ments of torture. and before his chest

outside of g :~aaGhcGSc would call these
articles OF apparel agreeable. There Is
for the custom no reason at all drawn
from comfort, hygiene or usefulness.
There is, however, the ghost of a dead
reason. Once upon a time a gentle
man was presumed TO do no work,
and he dressed to show this, by put
ting on these visible signs that he
never soiled his hands, sweated his
neck, or bent his noble back. 1t mat

his definition of a gentleman; we did

One day recently during the luncheon

want corned beef hash. Ten times, at
least, did a waiter approach the serving
table with the order for Senator Till

From my observation, there is more

horses and sheep, as prices are high for
such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around

their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
