DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love Story Written by Small Boy at
Least Brought. Things to a -
H. Happy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general,
Jerome s. McWade, the well.known
Duluth connoisseur, said at a recent
dinner:
"At the approach Of Valentine day
last year I offered a prize of five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. l have one of the stories here,
and am going to read it to you"
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell in love with a lady
whose mother was rich toy dealer.
"The poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"a villain then offered him $50 if he
would become a drunkard -. ....
"The poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
"'No, will not become a drunkard,
even for great riches
"On the way home he found bag
of gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

Do farmers cat the proper sort Of food ?

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food?
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

the threads drawn up to fit the curves.
French or German valenciennes lace
may be used, as one fancies. 1t is
better to sew on the lace bow-knot
and then do the embroidery, which
should be transferred to the mate
rial by means of carbon paper.
Light blue is better than the dark
colors. as it does not crock. If the
material is sheer enough it may be
placed over the design on the page,
and fastened down with pins. The
design then may be drawn on with a
fine pointed pencil.

The embroidery is done entirely in
French embroidery, with seeding in
the bow-knot and some of the flower
petals.
Seeding gives a very dainty touch in
embroidery. 1t is merely short, even

back or seed stitch midway between
and an even distance below the seeds
of the preceding line.
The stitches are laid alternately,
just as bricks are laid in a wall.

The tucks in the blouse should be

He made careful search to find

GRIM DISCOVERY

William Wheatley and his sons,

the California-Pioche property last
week. uncovered two human
skeletons, and the skeleton of a
dog. During the years that the old
shaft has remained free from
human disturbance, considerable
dirt and debris had gradually &C.
comulated in it, and it was upon
the removal of this and IF several
large rocks that had evidently been
thrown in the shaft, that the
skeletons were discovered. The
rocks were white quartz in nature,
and as rocks of that sort are not
to be found on the surface nearer
than several hundred feet from the
shaft, 1t is supposed that they were
brought to the shaft and thrown
in for the purpose Of covering the
bodies. One of the skeletons is
believed to be that of a woman. 1t

that they must refrain form par
ticipation in the factional dis
turbines in those states. Those
officials evidently believed that they
were expected to uphold the
regular or administration faction
of the party. This has lead to much
bitterness and to many complaints
to the president. especially from
Kansas. AS the administration
hopes to propri tiate the insurgents
so that they will vote for such
standpat candidates for congess as
have been nominated, it was i'm
perative that the federal officers
should appear to be neutral. Still
only a week or two ago there was

and it was claimed that over one
half of the delegates were post
masters or other government office
holders and their relatives and
friends. Postmaster-General Hitch!

partisan activity on the part of his

He is now on tour through the

is. The later action of postmasters
and others at caucuses and con-
ventions will tell the partisan tale
and there will be more kicking by
