Something Worth cuItivatins.
What is there like the friendsip
Of loving childish heart,
So pure, so true, and tender
Although they soon must part!

SO pure, SO true and tender
Although they soon must part!
Nothing, absolutely nothing. We
know of nothing that is as free from
selfish motives as the friendships of
little children. You, mothers of the
land, and fathers too; it is your duty
to encourage these friendships, and
not only to encourage but also to
guide.
Who makes the best citizen, the
boy who receives an apple and eats il
all himself, while the little girl in the
next yard looks On and wishes her
mamma would give her an apple, OF
the boy who, when his mother gives
him an apple, runs out of the house
and spying his little neighbor in the
next yard hollers out to her Justify to
come and help him eat the big red an
PIE which he waves triumphantly over
his head. When it comes to dividing
the apple he will invariably give he1
the bigger half. Which boy makes the
best citizen? The boy with the friend
ly disposition. Good. Glad to hear that
you agree with u.s.
II you want your child to become
friendly, do not speak harshly of your
neighbors so the child hears it, and
oh, do not speak to your child slight
ingly of its playmates. In your refer,
ence to them always be gentle and
loving. A PERSONS attitude to humani.
Jy for all time to come, is formed
largely before he reaches his teens,
and in these tender years he should
be carefully inculcated with the spir-
it of friendliness. This will not only
make him happier as he grows older,
it will also make others, those who
become his associates, happier. Be-
sides he will get much more real com
fort out of life than the boy who is
allowed to grow selfish.
Teach generosity in the home. not
only to the boys but to the girls also.
Begin teaching the rudiments Of gen
erosity as soon as the child is able to
grasp it's principles. When the baby
toddles up to you with cookie and
offers you a bite, take a reasonably
large bite and give the child your
brightest smile in return. In this way
the little one will learn that it is more
blessed to give than to receive. If
you refuse the cookie you discourage
the generous impulse of the child and
plant selfshness deep in the little
heart
Although they soon must part
The poet is right Too often the
friendships of childhood are interrupt
ed by separation, many of us drift
away from the friends of our child
hood days never to see them again.
To what extent are we losers? Surely
we lose the companionship of our ear
ly friends, but there is no need of los
ing their friendship. And by that time
friendliness will seem natural to us
and we will make friends readily
wherever we go. We will have gained
a great deal by those friendships Of
childhood days. Gained not only the
ability to get friends, but also sweet
memories that extend back almost to
the cradle. Crookston Press.

THE USEFUL APPRENTICE.

The young man who is learning a
business should be conscious of the
fact that the more useful he makes
himself. the better his chances will
be Of eventually becoming a captain of
industry.
There are three things which count
for success in the competitions of life
they are "a CHEEKY heart, a broad
ening mind and promptness in all
LIES activities.
Efficiency is d good word for an
apprentice to have burned into his
consciousness in capital letters. 1t
means accuracy. promptness depend
ability and every quality that counts
for success. 1t means eyes to see and
hands 10 do things which need be
done. instead of ears to hear reproach-
ing words because of slouchy habits.
The apprentice who is alive to every
need Of the business and is doing all
that is expected of him and a little
more IS the coming man.
Thinking of shorter hours and big
ger pay is not AN achievement: but
doing things which call for higher
service and better wages is an
achievement.
The boy is the master Of the man
and he should catch on to himself.

Umbrella Tent for Girls.

Have you ever wanted tent to play
in and discovered that they were ar
ticles surprisingly expensive? A COM
Portable tent may be fashioned from
material already in the house-an UNI
brella, broom handle, clothespins,
cord and newspapers are needed. The
broom handle is driven to the earth
--soHe older person will help you do
this. The same strong older person
will next bind the handle of the UNI
brella to the broom handle. If this
latter has worn too smooth for secure
binding, grooves may be cut with a
penknife and a couple of nails may
be driven in as a support for the UNI
brella handle. The umbrella may now
be opened. In each projecting rib a
piece of cord is tied which is long
enough to reach the ground at a dis
lance of about three feet from the CEN
ter post The loose ends of the cords
may now be tied to sharpened clothes
pins, which may be thrust into the
ground, thereby making the string
taut. Care must be taken to cut all
the cords of equal length. Double
lengths of newspaper pasted to other
double lengths or thick cloth may be
plated and pinned around the edge of
the umbrella SO that either stuff hangs
in a drapei-y effect to the ground.

THE YOUNG ARE BRAVE.

1t has been recognized for ages that
the young are brave and beaut1ful;
and it is constantly being demonstrat-
ed in all countries.
The other day a $9a-week errand
boy eloped with 16-year-old girl
friend and they distressed their rela-
tivcs by marrying on slender resources
They do not regard the matter in that
light. Charley Long of st. oe mar
ried on a capital of $40, and now
that there is a social furore over it
and attempts are being made to an
null the marriage. Charlie says:
Il loved Helen and she loved me:
so we got married. That's all there
is to it. This wedding is going to
stick
Charles style is all right. He
knows the relation is going to last
regardless of the weak financial foun-
dation of it, The spirit of the juve-
nile bridegroom indicates that he is
prepared to meet every contingency
like a man..

He Wanted to Be an Elk.

A great flock of fat elk were feed
ing upon the mountain side enjoying
the rich grass and cool mountain
streams, when a poor, weary, footsore
Indian saw them and watched them
with envy. He saw they had plenty
so he wished to become one of them.
He hid his bow and arrows and
approached them, asking to be made
one of them They finally consented
to admit him and he was made chief,
as he wished to be.
They first warned him of the danger
he would run, telling him his eyes must
be always on the watch and his ears
On guard. He must be able to smell
an enemy before he is in sight.
He led the flock proudly, finally ly
ing down to take a nap. Suddenly he
cried:
Fly. fly, I am strucki''
The elks all ran off. but seeing
nothing, returned, saying:
1T was only stick that fell from
a tree"
They all lay down again to sleep,
but were soon aroused. The second
time they were quite angry, saying:
1T was only an acorn that fell upon
him while he slept
The third time they lay down; but
this time the elks scented danger and
stole away, leaving the chief elk Sleep
ing.
When the hunter came, he found on
~ the chief elk sleeping and shot him
with an arrow, making him suffer
great fear and pain. The Indian then
wished he had been content with his
life as it had been, as no life is free
from hardship and danger.-Kenneth

CABBAGE and Candy.

A Pennsylvania woman claims to
have discovered process for making
candies out of vegetables. If the
discovery proves to be of practical
value we shall doubtless soon become
familiar with the product, though the
process may remain a secret. Long
cooking. she says is an essential part
of the programme, after which the pas
ty vegetable mass is nodded into at

that a tempting CONNECTION has been

WHERE IT IS HOT.

The Heat is the general topic of
conversation, and because Boston has
had temperature many degrees high
er than that of Atlanta or New Or
leans, some people are prone to think
the climate is changing, but it isn't.
New England has seen just such
weather before and will again.
An eastern editor gives the public
to2understand we have been having
cool weather compared with what the
Colorado ranchers are called upon to
face. This is what he says of August
weather on the flat lands of Colorado:
For IS days the thermometer
ranged between lis and 120 in the
shade In the sun nobody knew what
it registered because the thermome-
ters always showed the mercury at
the top notch and goodness knows how
much higher it would have gone had
the glass been extended. Standing on
one of the sand dunes and looking out
across the prairie the tenderfoot would
have sworn he was looking out on
great ocean with the big waves rolling
along increasingly. They We're waves,
all right, but waves of heat. and alter
one had ridden through them for forty
miles before coming to an oasis fair
Nv good idea of hot weather was OBJ
tanned. The ranchmen We're tanned
to a leathery brown and they looked
as gaunt as starving coyotes. The
superfluous fat or flesh was in reality
tried out of them and they were down
to pretty nearly skin and bones. The

tanned so much alkali that it was al
most impossible to drink it, but it
was that or nothing

ALFRED F. RHODES.
Arrives at Bridgeport After Strange
Observation-Disclosures by President
Taft.

Bearing on his body the marks of
the terrible mutilations inflicted on
wounded y. s. soldiers by the Phil
ipinos. Alfred Field Rhodes, formerly
quartermaster sergeant in Co. +, Eff
tenth u. S. infantry. who was wound
ed at the Catdelogan massacre, June
18th, 1900, arrived in Bridgeport Mon
day, says The Farmer, searching for
his Is year old son, who livesRin this
city.
Rhodes was sentenced to so years
imprisonment for killing a Filipino.
Last March he was pardoned by Presi-
dent Taft, the federal authorities hav-
ing taken tary cognizance of the ex-
traor1inlry malevolance on the part
of high officials which resulted in
Rhodes sentence.
Since his pardon he has been beat
ing way across this country in an eff
fort to reach Bridgeport, his former
home where his wife and son are liv-
in. His wife obtained a divorce when
Rhodes was wounded.
In simple language Rhodes tell an
amazing story of the horrors Of civil
ized' warfare in the Philippines.
Rhodes is now fighting to have his
standing as a soldier restored which
will give him his pension rights. His
wounds incapacitate him from work;
it was the wonder of the surgeons
who attended him that he lived.
martial found him not guilty, but Gen.
Frederick Dent Grant, who Rhodes
claims has previously shown evidences
of personal luminosity against Rhodes,
reversed the decision of the court mar
tial and sentenced him to 80 years
Imprisonment. 1t was one of three
cases in the history Jof the United
States wherein a. general had chosen
to reverse a court martiafs decision.
When the facts were brought to the
attention of President Taft, he at once
gave Rhodes unconditional pardon.
1t took Rhodes ten years to get his
case before the President.
In 1895. Rhodes was a fireman on
the steamer Nutmeg State, and lived
in this city. At that time he enlised
in the regular United States army. He
was sent to the Philippines in Febru-
airy, 1899, and took part in IS battles
and sagements while the u. S. SOL
diers were engaged in putting down
the Philippines.

UNCLE JED'S TALK WITH LITTLE
FOLKS

Uncle Jed is very much pleased with
the bright little letters the children are
writing this department
All the little boys and girls who do
not feel equal to writing a story can
become active members by writing lit
tie letters to Uncle Jed.
If they have nothing else to write
about they can tell Uncle Jed and the
boys and girls who do write stories
how much they enjoy them, and which
they like best; or how well they like
the selected story; or they may ex-
change compliments with one another.
Such letters make pleasant reading;
and, also. may make agreeable ac-
quaintanees.
We have several ambitious stories
this week which are creditable to the
ability and genius of the girls and boys
who wrote them.
Occasionally we have to omit a let
ter. or a story that is very carelessly
written. 1t pains Uncle Jed to have to
disappoint these little writer's. They
should write palmer and with greater
care The printer cannot set in type
letters that are not plainly and neatly
written.
