times of year when those roads arc al
most impossible. That does not apply

well remember an instance, only
three years ago, of one of my attempts
to drive a motor car from Worcester
through to Portland. We had rain
from the time we left Worcester to the
time We left Boston, and when We got to
kennebunk there we went into the ditch
and one and one-half hours We're con-
sumed in digging out. That was the con-
dition of the road, particularly through
kennebunk. We all know and have read

BECOMING CIVILIZED,

N. B. Keim, wealthy farmer and
a cousin to the scribe, who resides at
Langhorne, Pa, north of Philadelphia

the Indian school and Indian students
of Carlisle, Pa: -"Some of the farm
ers in this section employ Indian STU

There are at present 266 boys and 213
girls away from the school at work.

bank account Of $500 or $500 with
which to make his start in life."

HON. "sIVER" PLEASES,
Address Audience at Both English an

Address Audience at Both English and
Norwegian at His Old Home Town.
Cooperstown Courier: One CT the
largest crowds that ever assembled in
this part of the country was that which
gathered at Red Willow lake last Sun
day, the occasion being a picnic by the
Sons Of Norway organization repre-
senting delegates from Devils Lake,
Tolna, Neville, Pekin, Finley and other
points on the Great Northern railway.
1t is estimated that there were about
two thousand people present. There
were three bands in attendance from
Tolna, Pekin and Neville, and say
those towns up there certainly have
fine bands that are credit to cities
of ten times their population. There
were speakers from various points in
the state and Hon. Silver Serumgard,
who was formerly a citizen of Coopers-
town, was one of the number and made
a fine speech both in Norwegian and
English. Mr.. Serumgard was greeted
by many old time friends at this
gathering and he enjoyed the reunion
very much He was accompanied by
his accomplished wife and one of the
boys, he has family of five, and is
enjoying a fine home and happy domes-
tic relations, his wife is lady of cul-
ture and splendid helpmeet to Mr..
Serumgard, who has been unfortunate
in having entirely lost his sight. The
program last Sunday was mostly
speeches relating to historical events
relating to Norwegian history, some
speeches being in Norwegian and some
in English, the Pekin choir furnished
some excellent music in between talks
and everybody seemed to enjoy the
occasion. The day was ideal, not too
hot or too cold and this helped to make
the picnic more enjoyable.

IrY the "Water Cure"

The water cure" is said to be an eX-
cellent aid to clear complexion, as
we'll as to rid the system from the eX-
cess of uric acid, which causes rheum-
attic troubles. Drink at least eight
glasses of water each day between
meals.
The girl with thin, scrawny neck
or coarse, red neck should never
wear a low-neck or a Dutch collar. In
stead she should wear high lace or
embroidery collar, well boned to keep
it in place.
Rub the face and hands frequently
with lemon juice, and put a few drops
of tincture of benzoin in the wash
water. This will help to keep the
skin white
Wear shoes that fit, even though you
should have to try on dozen pairs tC
find the right one. Nothing ruins ones
walk and facial expression more than
corns.

EXTRAORDINARY WOLF HUNT,

Walhalla Mountaineer: We have
just been told of a wolf hunt such as
seldom is heard of in this part of the
country, that happened on Sunday
June 18th, about three miles from
Beaulieu, in the mountains. A young
man some sixteen years old named AL
bert AaPlante was out looking for
berries when he was attacked by a
pack of five-one timber wolf and four
coyotes. He climbed a tree and after
waiting an hour or two, hoping the ami
mails would leave, he began to shout.
His cries were heard by John Shannon,
a young man living about a half mile
away, and taking his gun he went to
see what the trouble was. He had to
fire two or three times before the
hungry brutes were driven off, but
they finally sneaked away freeing
young LePlante who was badly cramp.
ed by his long stay in the tree.

AUTOCH!NE LAW.
Revenue Will Be Great Aid For Good
Roads Movement.

The Fargo Forum gives some stati-
sites on the autochine business in the
state: In the secretary of states office,
at Bismarck, every one was covered up
with requests for automobile tags and
500 have thus far been is
sued-300 more are to be acted upon.
The legislature provided no additional
clerk hire for this new work, and the
manufacturers have been slow in send
ing in the tags-6,O00 were ordered in
the first place-but another order has
been placed for 1000 more 1t is be-
lieved the records will show more than
1000 automobiles in the state, and at
least 500 motorcycles.
Taking out the expense of procuring
and issuing the tags, it is probable
that at least s215 will be returned to
the various counties to be used for
road work. This will make a fund
of about $4,000 which the counties
will receive from this source to help
improve the highways.
A conservative estimate would be
that these autos cost S1,10O on the
average, which would make the origin.
al cost of the machines at least $780,,
900, and to this should be added Incl
dentals and cost of maintenance, so il
is safe to say that the automobiles
have cost the state S1e,o00,00O during
the past three years.

To Dry Snap Beans.

Gather such beans as you would
cock fresh. Wash them. but do not
string or break. Put on to cook in
clear water and boil about half an
honr. Spread out to dry as you would
fruit, being careful to spread thin, as
they mold easily. When dry they will
look like sticks, but no matter. To
cook them, polr boiling water over
them at night and let stand until morn
ing. Then pour off the water, string,
break and put on with hot water, salt
and meat as you would fresh beans.
They will require longer to cook than
fresh beans, but when done can scarce
ly be told from them.

occupations, but while participating in
