everybody In that town. 1t may have
been an old one when the morning
stars shouted together for aught l
know, but IL was new in our town and
was sprung by Maine Yankee who
had been living in our burg for several
years. His name was Charley Daven-
port. and he died many years ago. In
his shutting way he went from store

heard that well known citizen had

was member of one OF the big

his piety as he was for curing nearly
everything that come his way. But
he was very sensitive man. Richard

was greatly excited
"'Doc was upstairs when he was
summoned to the window by ioud

asked what was wanted. The man be.

Davenport had sold doc that day on

window and went to bed.

SHORTEST ROUTE 70 JAPAN
lt 10 Along che A'eutIan Islands,
Which stretch Out From Alaska
Toward Aslaeie Continent.

Few persons are aware that tho
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is BY way Of Alaska. Nearly
thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the Orient BY coastins
along the Aleutian Islands, rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian Islands. which extend
In . chain east and west for more
than a thousand miles, are Inhabited
by the remnant Of the Aleuts. Their
war OF the revolution closed Just as
the American Revolutionary war be
gan. So patriotic were the Aleuts. so
brave in their struggle for indepen-
dence, that they succumbed to the
Russians only after conflict of near
~ fifty years. and then simply be-
cause the race was almost extermin'
ated in the struggle. While the Aleu-
tian. Islands must eventually form an
important link in the commerce be-
tween the United States and tho
Orient other Islands link o,s' co'satry
with the vast empire to tho north In
the narrow Dehring Straits lie two 1T
tie islands. one occupied by Russia,
the other by the United States. so
that citizens of the two great nations
live on respective islands within a
few miles of each other.

Plea for Walnut Trees.

Various districts in Germany are po-
titioning the forest department to res
cue the walnut trees Of the country
from the gradual extinction which
threatens them. In times when the
land was less thickly populated 1t was
customary for farmers and large land
owners to plant walnut trees On the!.
properties and along the roads, but
modern science has taught that not
only is the shade thrown by the
spreading tree tops unfavorable to
profitable cultivation, but that GER
tain amount of fannie acid is con-
tanned in the nuts and injuriously az
fects the soil on which they fall. The
natural result OF the decrease in the
number Of walnut trees is a rise In
price of the timber. and whereas in
the COS cubic meter OF the wood
cost from 81 to $12 1t now costs from
$50 to 800.

Thank You

I wish to thank my many friends and
customers. for the confidence they have
in me, in this, the closing part of the
year 1911. l was told this week that
l am too honest to make successful
real estate agent: but want to remind
you that man can be just as honest.
in the real estate business as in any
thing else. Just because some unprin-
cipled agent has taken advantage aud
"done you up" is no reason that the
whole bunch Of agents will do 1t. I
do not believe in condemning all farm
ers just because few of them put the
large apples on top, and the small ones
in the bottom. Neither should we con-
denim all lawyers, just because some Of
them will yarn"
But returning back to my text. will
say that have had a very successful
year. considering that am only a
clodhopper just of the farm.
However have plenty Of time to do
more. and II you want to buy or sell a
house or farm, or have property to ex-
change, I would like to see you.

rented farm q few miles outside of
the city to escape the din and noise
of town. But he soon tired of the
trouble of looking after the place.

look after this farm" he told his fam
lily at breakfast one morning "Then
I won't have any more trouble. He
can occupy room on the top floor.
