Another powerful western story is the feature picture at the Breed to- day. and is entitled White Brave s Heritage, which abounds with thrill ing scenes never attempted before in moving pictures
 A ~anchman hurries to the door of the Wentworth cabin and notifies them that the prairie is on fire, and Father Wentworth gathers his men, hastens to battle with the flames. At nightfaIl he has not returned, and the mother puts the little son.

During the night an Indian overpo wers the mother and runs off with the boy. Fifteen years later, Bob has grown up with tue In- dtans and is known as the White Passing pioneers are attacked by his band, and all are killed by the Indians save 9 young girl who was hidden un- der the prairie schooner White Brave, upon seeing her, is reminded of the story of the beautiful Madonna, told him by his mother, and is capti- vated by her The big chief rasents this attention and desires her for him. self, but in a terrific battle White Brave secures her and fees, pursu. { by the balance of the tribe.

Baby as Luggage.

The latest style of baby carriages was seen in the Union depot recently. It is a simple affar-the baby, board and several straps. At first glance the baby might be mistaken for a bunch of clothing bound together in an old fashioned shawl strap, but on looking closer you see that on the chiid's back 8 board was placed. and three stout straps bound the young ster to it A leather added to it's convenience.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Special Session.

Buchanan Grange met in open
meeting Friday March 4th At an
early hour the house was well filled
with visitors. the meeting was
opened and presided over by Worthy
Master j. A. Shepard.
First on the program was the
opening song which was followed
by readings from Misses Ruth and
Blanche Hubbard, Miss Nan Buck
man Master j. Tom Miles and Mr.
Thomas Conboy. All were well
rendered and much enjoyed.
A few minutes recess was then
declared. After which proceeded
to debate the following subject. Re-
solved Money has more Influence
over Man than Women. Affirma-
tive speakers Thomas Con5oy, Chas.
and William Buchanan and Sidney
Williams. Negative speakers, Mrs.
Elsie Miles. George Yates and
James Wimsatt. The judges, w,0
were Mr.. Jackson, Mr. Graham AMI
Mrs. James Yager rendered a de-
cision in favor of the Affirmative.
The audience was then highly en-
tertained by some Grange Clippings
composed by F. H. HardeSty and
read by Miss Carrie Meyers. W.R
Buchanan, Critic, was then called
upon but was unable to respond,
having spent so much time and
energy in his eloquent defence of
money power.
Thus passed quite a pleasant and
profitable evening. We hope not
only, will our friends meet with us
again in open meeting; but will
come into our order and help US to
make it a benefit to our neiehbor-
hood, both Intellectually and socially

We Of the Uncivilized.

If you were to travel through
Asia you would find that we are re-
garded as the peculiar persons.
Have you heard of the Chinese gen.
tleman who travelled throughout
the United States and wrote let
ter back to his friends describing
us? He said:
You cannot civilize these Amer
leans. They are beyond redemp-
ton. They will 90 weeks and
months without touching a mouth
full of rice, but they eat flesh of
bullocks and sheep in enormous
quantities Nor do they eat their
meat cooked in small pieces. 1t is
carried into the room in large
chunks. often half raw, and then
they cut and slash and tear it
apart. They eat with knives and
prongs, it makes a civilized being
perfectly nervous. One fancies
himself in the presence of sword
swallowers.
They have no sense of dignity
for they may be found walking
with women. They even sit down
at the same table with women, and
the latter are served first. Yet the
women are to be pitied, too. On
festive occasions, which Americans
call balls, they are dragged around
a room to the accompaniment of
the most hellish music. Elk.

Delivering The Goods"

1t is as hard to live up tC a good
name as it is to live down a bad
name. When a man is said to
come from the West, you immedi-
ately compare him with a cowboy
or an Indian. When a man says
he is from New England, we immedi-
ately associate and measure him
with some of the worlds greatest
characters. If a man undertakes to
fill a New England pulpit, we meas
ure him with Brooks and Parker. If
he enters literature, we measure
him with Emerson and Lowell. If
he enters law, we measure him
with the Adamses. If he would
work reform, we listen intently to
hear the clear notes of Puritanism
that made Phillips and Garrison
world leaders, When a man enters
business, we measure him with
Oliver Ames, whose shovels were
the standard of exceliency the
whole world round. Now, the ques-
ton that you have to face is, wheth-
er you can deliver the goods: wheth-
er you can live up to the name you
inherited, and give us goods that
are worth our dollars George
Wood Anderson, in National Maya
zine for March.

The Dining Room Pictures.

Make the dining room the most
attractive place in the farmhouse.
Rack to the attic or the bedoom
with the family portraits that have
been hanging there all these years.
Eating supper with the cold gray
eyes of the late Aunt Matilda peer
ing at you from the 3-inch gilt
frame isn't conclusive to good d.
gestion. And farmer can't afford
to be dvspeptic.
On the average farm the dining
room is also the sitting room. Prob
ably it is the most used room in
the house. 1t should, then. be the
most attractive.
Now, what pictures are you 60
ing to hang in your dining room?
The family portraits certainly have
no place here Cheap and highly
cOlored Autographs will spoil the eff
feet of,the most beautiful wall pa
per. In selecting pictures choose
carefully two or three prints of
fruit, game, or any appropriate sub
ject. Have neat medium sized
calendar in a conspicuous place.
The. effect of a picture is easily
spoiled by an outlandish frame, so
select the frame with as much care
as you select your picture. Elk.

After the program was rendered
the audience was dismissed and the

evening IN a social good time. Re-
freshments were served and every

A useless bill, it seems to us, that

oh lnce of becoming a law is the es-
Establishment of the office of automo-

at $500, and others at SIPS a

measure to get more men on the
