Pair of Wrens a Set Up

order for another leg. She explained
that she wanted one about size eight,
and then she said she would like it
ever-so-much if he could make her a
summer weight leg this time. She
said the hickory one she had had was
Il good strong limb, but almost too
heavy for summer use, and asked him
if he could not make a lighter one
not too light, just about medium
weight, something she could wear
comfortably until time to put on Win
ter legs.
Bildad thought It over and then
said he thought he had a piece of
very thing. and that it would make
a neat and servceable leg-some-
thing stylish and light, but still guar
anteed to wear we'll. He said it was
piece of willow that he was saving
to turn potato mashers out of on his
lathe. but that he was willing to sac
ritice that aspiration and make a leg
OF it. So he did.
When he delivered the leg, Aunt
Rhinocolura retired into her own
room and tried it on, and she was
very much delighted with it. There
were a few alterations necessary, but
not many. 1t was little too long in
the waist, if we may use the term,
and made her poke up into the air on
the left side, but Bildad easily RENE
died that, and then Aunt Rhinocolura
said it was the most comfortable leg
she had ever worn.
That w4s a very damp summer and
a very busy one for Aunt Rhinocolura
She was on her feet in the yard or
the street nearly every minute of the
dav. and she never thought of wear
ing a rubber shoe or her willow leg.
In fact, she hardly gave her willow
leg a thought until one night when
she was retiring and happened to
look at the leg, and then she saw
it was breaking out in buds. BY
morning it had sprouted so much
that she had to trim it off with her
nail scissors. Every morning after
that she had to manicure her wooden
leg before she could put it on, and
one week when she stayed in bed for
three days with the neuralgia, the leg
got such a start on her that she had
to have Sally, her maid, take 1t
down cellar and trim it up with the
hatchet.
After that the willow leg seemed
to have really started to grow, and
often when Aunt Rhinocolura went
out for the day she would have to be
hauled home, for her real foot would
get all tangled up in the sprouts OF

KEEPING THE FAITH

From the cradle to the grave
Man is born to suffer trouble:
For the coward and the brave
Life, they say. is just bubble.
But it always seemed to me
If a fellow does his best,
TOiling on undaunted, he
Needn't bother bout the rest
Needn't bother bout the sorrows
That will come and soon depart,
Needn't face the dim to-morrows
With a sorely quaking heart,
Needn't be afraid of losing
All that makes the game worth while
When its problems are confusing
And he longs to rest a WHILE
Needn't worry bout the riches
That it seems he'll never get;
Though patch is on his breeches,
Sooth. he may be happy yet.
Failures no disgrace. I'm thinking,
II a fellow proves he's brave,
Never Sinking, never shrinking
From the cradle to the grave.

continued to hatch her eggs while
Aunt Rhinocolura went to the sewing
society or trod the light fantastic toe
at Philemon Jones' barn dance, but
the fact is that even summer
weight wooden leg goes thumpty-
thump, and that is no good for eggs
that are Matching. A wren may love
its little home in a willow tree, but
it cannot be happy if the tree goes
humping about the country.
So Aunt Rhinocolura hoped back
into the house and sent for Bildad
Cubb, and ordered new, lightweight,
non-sproutable leg. Then she had the
willow leg carefully removed to the
back yard and planted there. and it is
growing finely. and is one of the most
interesting sights in Betzville.

COUGHED ALL NIGHT

III! This Recipe Was Tried. Cure
Followed In Hours.
A prominent medical man, who suf-
Tered with severe cough and cold
on the lungs, often being kept awake
all night, and weakened by loss of
sleep, finally discovered simple
formula which will cure any cough in
five hours by the clock. 1t is lax
ative tonic cough syrup which can
be made at home by anyone and the
formula is here given for the benefit
of those who pass sleepless nights in
painful paroxysms. Those who have
tried it say it is magical and beats
any high-priced, slow-acting cough
medicine ever sold. =
Mix in bottle one-half ounce fluid
wild cherry bark, one ounce compound
essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Take
twenty drops every half hour for four
hours. Then take one-half to one tea
spoonful three or four times q day.
Give children less according to age
This will tone up and rid the system
Of deep-seated coughs every time.

Her Mistake

A lady overlook little girl of her
acquaintance on her way to school.
'Do you like decimals, my dear?" she
asked.
Now the little girl had not gone
very far in her arithmetic and she
was unfamiliar with the word deci-
mails. She shrank from acknowledge
ing her ignorance, so, after minute,
she stammered: "Yes'm, like them
pretty we'll, but not as we'll as

To Varnish New Boots

If new boots and shoes are var
nished on the soles every few weeks
with the best copal varnish they will
last twice as long and rarely want re-
soling. The first time they are done
they should have two coats of var.

quickly.

PULP WOOD IN ALASKA.
Transportation Facilities Only Needed
to Open Up Enormous Forests.

Transportation Facilities Only Needed
to Open Up Enormous Forests.
Another valuable item has been add
ed to Alaska's growing list of undevel-
oped Recent expert eXami-
nation of the timber in the SuShitna
basin has confirmed the belief that it
is pulp wood of a high quality. The
timber Is poplar, cottonwood and
spruce, but little of which Is Of com
mercial value for lumber. The land on
which this growth stands includes the
100000 or more acres estimated as
grazing and farming land and on
which homesteading recently began.
This area, distributed among the vari-
GUS valleys of the basin, is for the
most part covered with q luXuriant
growth Of wild redtop grass. with little
underbrush and only a moderate stand
of timber. 1t is obvious that with a
reasonably convenient market for pulp
wood and water transportation, Of
which there is much, the cost of clear
ing these lands might be greatly re-
duced If not made a profit by the sale
Of the timber as a byproduct.
On Kenai peninsula, along the line Of
the seventy mile Alaska Central rail
road, alone there are many thousands
of acres of available pulp wood, and
this will be increased with almost
every mile Of the roads extension to-
ward the Matanuska coal fields. The
value of this supply of pulp wood in
American territory and the practicable
ity Of utilizing it was first pointed out
by Levi Chubbuck Of the department
Of agriculture, who visited the region
last summer. Still more recently Sena-
tor George ]. Baird Of Canada went in
to the Matanuska coa fields and was
greatly impressed by the vast area of
pulp woods as well as the splendid
grazing lands they stood on. He pre-
diets the rapid settlement Of this re-
gion by farmers and cattlemen.

1910. The letter is interesting in it,
self, otherwise than the financial
statement it contains. He says:
81 drew a warrant to-day for the
last death loss that has occurred in
our order to date, and all previous
valid claims have been paid or drafts
for payment are on the way to the
beneticiaries. The peculiar thing
about this is that | have no notice of
another death or intimation of one.
Such a coincidence has probably not
happened in the history of our juris-
diction since the first years Of it's or
g%anization, and it is not likely ever to
happen again. l doubt if it has ever
happened in any other order Of the
size and age of ours. In so large a

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF A LODGE

ested in the success of home inStitu-
acter, providing they make for the
welfare of humanity and the upbuild-

fraternal beneficiary societies incor-
porated in this state (Which are strict
ly home institutions), is doing a bene-
ticient work for many widows and
orphans, and seems to be in a healthy
and successful condition, as indicated

fund. We will probably not do this
with all of it; we will likely keep on
paying death losses ahead of time If
the death proofs come in, but a nice
lump will doubtless 60 into the sur
plus fund at the end of the month.
And by the way that surplus fund is
very nearly all invested in first class
farm loans drawing 6 per cent on first
mortgage securities at less than half
the value Of the land.
1--WE can now very closely estimate
the result of the new rates to the
first of next October, just one year
after they went into effect, as follows.
"Have paid all death losses for the
year-October |, 1909 to October |,
1910.
"Have paid accumulated death los
seS on October |, 1909, which were
left over after the old rates were ex-
hausted, SIT, 900.
"Have paid into surplus fund to
date $47,5S7.
"Probable surplus next month, 49,

Total surplus, with losses paid a
month ahead, $7S,OS7."

Of death and first notices of death
on hand or on the way. But at this
date there is neither, to my knowl-
edge, in the A. O. U. w. OF South
Dakota.
TWO GOOD THINGS.
"Such a situation argues Two
things: First, that a kind providence
has suspended u death rate for the
time being, and second, that our
proofs of death and payments of losses
are promptly made.
"Of course the death list will aver
age up at the end of the year if it has
not already done so. Last year at the
end Of August we had sixty-nine death
losses approved. At the end of Au-
gust this year we will have eighty.
The hiatus in death losses this month
seems prOvidential. This time last
year we had between twenty-five and
thirty thousand dollars Of death loss
