INDIAN WAS TOO NUMEROUS
How a Clever PIegan Pony Thief Out
wftted a Band Of Pursuers by
His Ingenuity.

A member of the Canadian mounted
ponce cells a good story of the clever
ness OF an Indian. One snowy morning
a band OF Crees awoke to find that
about a dozen of their ponies had been
stolen during the night. Pursuit was
Immediately organized, and in the
course of an hour the trail was struck.
The band followed it for 80 miles or
more, till it entered a river and head
ed for a little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees,
and an opening, apparently the mouth
OF a cave, was in plain view. Present
ly a Piegan Indian showed himself in
front of the opening. He was in war
paint, and at his heels was a dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees, who we're lying low, and began
growing and barking. The Piegan
looked up, glanced about him a mo-
ment, and then instantly entered the
cave. In about ten seconds another
Plegan came round the rocks and also
went in; then another, and another,
and another. The Crees lay silently
In n bushes, counting, till upward of
SO Piegans had come round the rocks
and gone into the cave, and still they
Kept coming. Each carried a rifle.

evil spirit had something to do with

this idea that even when reinforce.
ments arrived, which was in a few
hours, they were reluctant to attack
the island. i,
That night, however, one Cree, less
credulous than the others, crossed over
the Ice to investigate. On approaching
the supposed cave, he found that it
was no cave at all, but simply an open
ing leading some ten feet into the
rock, where it made a turn and came
out on the other side.
There was the remnant of a single
campfire, the ponies were gone, and
not an Indian was in sight. The clever
'Piegan thief, by making the circuit of
the passage and the end of the island
70 times, had SO deceived his u
suers as to gain the time necessary for
his escape.-Youth's Companion.

Seven-year-old William had become
the proud owner Of a pet pig, and in
sisted upon having all the care of 1t
himself. After a few weeks, as the
pig did not seem to thrive, his father
said to him:
William, I'm afraid you are not
feeding your pig enough. It does not

The following are among the re.
quisities mentioned by United States

eggs on the market in proper condi-
ton:
1. Keeping hens that produce not
only a goodly number of eggs, but
eggs of moderately large size (weigh-
ing two ounces each on an average),
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, Orpingtons and Leghorns
or Minorcas that are used on egg
farms are varieties that may be ex-
pected to do this.
2. Good housing, regular feeding
and watering, and, above all, clean,
dry nests.
8. Daily gathering Of eggs, and

And a Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
UnpIeasantEy If it has
Proper Food
Grape=Nuts

People can live in temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol
ow with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
his about two slices of crisp toast with
meager amount of butter, and one
cup of well-made Postum.
BY this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
TO this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested Is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food,
and it's application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially

To fatten ducks do not allow them
to have access to a swimming pool as
the exercise of swimming keeps them

Do not let the old hen run with the
chicks all summer. Take her away as
soon as they are old enough to rustic
for themselves.

Water fountains for the young
