CHILD'S PUMPS FOR DANCING
New Idea Has Many Points Of I'm
portanee That Are Well Worth
Consideration.

A party OF young women who were
training to dance In private theatricall
were told by their instructress to buy
children's patent leather dancing
pumps. with rounded toes. low heels
and narrow strap over the instep.
They rather begrudged the money
as they thought the pumps were for
one occasion only. So comfortable
did they prove that every one of those
girls will wear nothing else around
the house in the evening. It saves
their handsomer slippers and the low
heels are restful to the back and in.
csdentally to nerves.
For a very tall girl. these pumps
are especially suitable as the lowness
of the heels reduce her height and
bring her into more normal stature.

FROM HEAVY LINEN SKIRT
Many and Lasting DolIies Made by
One Clever and Resourceful
Woman.

The housekeeper whose supply Of
doilies is getting low should look over
her summer wardrobe and see If there
are any heavy linen skirts not worth
making over, but whose material will
last for years.
These can be cut into doilies Of
various sizes One woman from the
best parts Of a nine-gored skirt cut
an oval centerpiece, twelve plate
doilies and twelve tumbler dollies to
match, with four smaller ovals for
under dishes. The plate doilies %ere
nine inches in diameter finished and
the tumbler doilies FIVE inches.
There was no extra cost for stamp.
ing. as the edges were finished with
a grouped scallop, the central one be-
ing twice the size Of that on each
side. This applied to the dolly brought
two Of the smaller scallops side by
side, with Q large one between every
two.
The scallops were padded with
chain-stitch and worked in No. 30 mer-
cerized white cotton, In close but
tonhole stitch.
In the center Of each scallop was
worked an eyelet, that in the big seal
lop being larger than the others. A
second row of the smaller size was
added, placed opposite the point where
the two small scallops join. This gives
pyramidal effect alternating with
the larger eyelets. At one side OF
each dolly was embroidered initials In
small block letters.
This design is easy to copy II one
experiments with the correct sized
scallop for each dolly.

AMPHIBIOUS ANIMAL FOR PET
Small Seal Frequenting Coasts Of
Great Britain lie Quite Intelligent
and Easily Tanned.
CBy CLAUDE B. MAUGHAMJ

(By CLAUDE b. MAUGHAM.)
Most people are accustomed to think
OF seal merely as an amphibious
creature, from which sealskin cloaksr
caps. etc. are obtained; but few are
aware that 1t is an animal of great In
telligence, and as capable Of being
domesticated and made q pet of as a
dog or cat.
The small seal freQuenting the
coasts Of Breat Britain, though infer
Tor in value to its cousin OF the South
seas. surpasses 1t in this intelligence
and tractability. It is easily tanned,
and can even be trained to follow its
master like a dog-of course, in its
own awkward, legless fashion.

REMARKABLE MEMORY OF CAT
Punished for Attempting to Catch
Wren, Feline Protects Little Bird
From Attack Of Snake.

Cats do reason. they say, and this
story goes to prove 1t.
In the mountain districts Of Penn
sylvania two wrens had built their
nests under the caves Of an old farm
house, and there they reared a small,
interesting family. Among the mem
bers Of the farmers household was a
white cat, and when the wRens be-
came 30 tame that they used to hop
around the piazza In search Of
crumbs the cat would lie in wait for
them, and several times came within
bit of catching the adult birds.
When the farmer noticed this, he
punished the cat. and she finally
learned that 1t was dangerous to fool
with the wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger.
one Of them fell out Of the nest one
day. and being too weak to run and
unable to fly. lay helpless on the
grass. The cat saw the accident and
ran rapidly to seize the bird but
seeming to remember the lesson
taught her, when she reached the
helpless little thing she only touched
It daintily with her paw. and then lay
down and watched It.
Presently there came a black and
yellow garden snake toward the flut-
tering birding. The cat was doing.
and was awakened by the fiuttering
Of the bird. Instantly she rose and
struck at the reptile with her paw.
This was an enemy the snake did not
appreciate, but II was hungry, and,
darling forward. attempted to seize /
the bird under the very shelter Of the
cats head. Like a fash the cat
seized the snake just back Of the
head and killed It with one bite.
When the farmer happened alone in
the afternoon he found the cat
crouching In the grass sheltering the
bird. and ten feet away was the dead
snake. This made It clear that the
cat had carried the bird away from
the snake. The young adventurer
was soon restored to his anxious
parents.

My parents were originally Cana
dams from Essex County, Ontario. I
was born in Monroe County, Michigan,

20 years. / sold my farm there in the

$500 in cash, team Of horses, q cow, a
few sheep and some chickens. took

Fish Lake, Meota P. o., and later on
purchased for 100000 an adjoining
quarter section. have now 40 head
Of cattle, q number of horses, good

worth at least 100000. My children
have raised from $500 to $500 worth
Of garden truck each year since we
have been here. ! have never had q
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. My wheat has averaged from
rs to 30 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably more. My
oats have always yielded we'll up to so
bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as IS. My cattle have never been
stabbed In winter, and do not need It.
/ consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any
where l have ever been. am sure
that almost any person can come here

perience is that II man farms his

to and including Sunday. Jan. 20, evan
gelistic meetings will be in progress at
the Swedish Baptist church, corner of

services.
Rev c. I. Johnson of South Omaha,
Neb., has been secured by the church
to have charge OF these meetings. Rev

pecially invited to attend these meet
ings. Friday evening of this and next
week the services will be in English,

lily invited to come. The meetings be-
gin at o'clock.

NORTH DAKOTA
MILLERS Meet

The North Dakota millers are meet
ing today at the A. c. armory and
number of excellent addresses were
given by some of the milling authori-
ties in the northwest. This body has
no organization, but before the meet
ing closes tomorrow, it is expected that
some form of permanent society will
be effected.
The initial address of the day was
given by c. H. Bailey the tester at the
A G. experimental mill. AS a re-
suit of some of his experiments he
gave the millers a comparison and
relative quality of the northwestern
wheats for making floor.
Dean Shepperd of the A. G. was the
second speaker on the programme and
told the -four manufacturers of sumo
of the experimental tests that were
being conducted in wheat lines at the
college and experiment fields. He also
spoke of the growing of pure wheat on
the experiment farms for the benefit
of the North Dakota farmers for their
seeds
One of the most interesting addresses
from the farmers viewpoint, was given
by H. F. Helm of the Russell Miller
Milling Co, Of Minneapolis. He spoke
on the MiIlers' Viewpoints of the Rel
ative Commercial Value OF the North
Dakota Wheats.
w. c. Macfadden of Fargo gave a
paper on the Grading and Inspection
Of Grain. He is a member of the grain
commission of the North Dakota
Bankers association and is interested
in the farmers of the state securing a
better price for their wheat and get
ting just revenue for the grain raised
in North Dakota.
FL. A. Johnson, chairman OF the Wis
consin Grain & Warehouse commits
sion, gave most interesting paper on
Wisconsin Grain Inspection. He told
briefly of what was being accomplished
by the Wisconsin methods of inspect
ing grain and how some needed re-
forms had been carried out through
this system of securing fairness to ali
grain growers and millers alike. He
spoke most enthusiastically of the
work of the commission in charge of
the inspection. Mr.. Johnson's and Mr.
Macfadden's papers will be published
in full in later issue of The Forum
The closing address scheduled for
the meeting today will be a paper
given by P. S. Sanderson, the miller
at the agricultural college experiment
al mill His talk will deal with some
of the work and purposes of the ex-
pertinent mill aud what it was accom-
for both the farmer and the
miller
