FROM CIVILIZATION
Walt M ason.

james Oliver Curwood, author of
The Flower of the North" tells
the following story about the men
to be found in the country about
Hudson Bay, where the scene of
his story is laid:
was at Prince Albert. "he saws
sitting on the vcranda of the
little old Windsor hotel. facing the
Saskatchewan. During the few
days previous a number of factors.
trappers and half.breed canoemen
had come down from the north.
One of these men had not been
down to the edge of civilization for
seven years. Three of the others
had not been down in two and this
was the annual trip of the other
eight for there were just eighteen
of us sitting there together.
I'VE were smoking md talking
when a young woman turned up
the narrow walk leading to the
vcranda. Immediately every voice
was hushed and as the woman came
up the steps those twelve roughly
clad men of the wilderness rose to
their feet to man, each holding
his cap in his hand. Thus the.
stood, silent and with bowed heads
until the young woman had passed
into the hotel. IT was the most
beautiful tribute 10 womanhooG /
had ever seen. And /. the man
from civilization was the only one
who remained sitting. with my
hat still on my head.

UMBRELLAS OVER
PRUNE TREES

A Puyallup Washington, dispatch
says tha: umbrellas for prune trees
are being used extensively over
this part of the state this summer.
The parasols are needed to protect
the fruit from possible rain which
ruins the fruit at certain seasons.
A rain causes the prunes to burst
open, making them unfit for pack
ing. The umbrellas are made
from muslin, large pieces of this
material being stretched over the
tree and ropes from corners
drawn tight.
The umbrellas are made to be
taken down in the fall and kept
until then next summer. The ap-
pearance of..a large prune orchard
with the umbrellas stretched over
the trees is very ludicrous. Tie
crop of prunes in the north west is
the largest in history. Picking
will begin in week.

SKINS ON THE BARN DOOR

In view of the many terrific
onslaughts which have and now are
being made in the campaign, Just
read BILL Simpson Pup" and see
if it reminds you of anything or
anybody:
Bill Simpson had a NANCY pup.
A fierce and strenuous cuss;
Aad every time the moon came up
lie made a roaring fuss.
Bill thought he had a watchdog
SIRE.
And when he went to bed;
He felt so safely and secure
He called his barker Ted"
Bill told his neighbors that he met
About his canine prize.
And in his zeal about his pet
He told IA Ithousnd lies.
He told about his killing skunks,
And driving thieves away:
And tearing wild cats up in chunks.
While keeping wolves at bay.
But when his neighbors saw no
rides
Nailed on Bill Simpsons barns:
AS troDhies of his NANCY prize.
Some dared to doubt his yarns.
One night when Bill was fast
asleep
A wise old skunk came round;
He knew the place where chickens
sleep.
And barks are naught but sound.
He pulled the pullets from their
pole.
And killed them every one;
Then vent and Sc! beside his hole
To watch the rising son.
The other evil beasts around,
Encouraged by the scoop

And took 'cm by the neck:
They didn't leave thing to peep.
But left the ranch a wreck.

While thieves drove off his mules !;

Like other barking fools.

So when you hear barker blow,
With loud progressive wind;
With rot q blooming thing TO show

But coully keep your head;
Nor get excited by the noise

the meal, she is between twenty

she declines every other kind of
game, but takes some pheasant,
she has passed thirty, but has not
yet reached thirty-fve. After
thirty-five she dotes on every kind
of game the more highly favored
the better. II at the end of the
dinner she takes cheese, showing

SHORT QUESTIONS

Senator Penrose is striking back
in the matter of the contributions
to the Republican campaign fund
in 1894 and the fats in the fire
with a vengeance. And money
contributions are not the only thing
to be Investigated IN connection
with that campaign. The New
York Herald intimates that diplo-
matte posts were traded by the
Only Honest Man who was then
President. The Herald asks the
significant questions:
Was any man appointed to a
great diplomatic post bee, use he
threatened to reveal the report on
the Tobacco Trust. which would
have hurt the Republican party in
1904?
Was any man promised o sum Of
money for supporting the Republi-
can ticket in 1904 in a newspaper
influential in one large denomina-
tion, and was required to take pay
ment In another diplomatic post?
