About the Spare Room.

How often the best and sunniest
bedroom In small house is set aside
for the rare visitor, while the chill
dren are cramped for space, or it's
master, the bread-winner. has some
dark cupboard as his special sanctum.
If he attempts to write in the dining
room he must bundle away his papers
whenever the table is required for q
meal, and the wear and tear to his
temper-for every man finds 1t ag-
gravating to be "hustled"-often
makes him "gey I'll to live it'll" But
for the fetish" OF that SELDOM used
spare room he would find home far
more home-iike, and his wife would
reap a sure reward for the sacrifice
Of the petty pride which makes her
think more Of what people viii say"
than of her husbands comfort.

BEAVER FINDS AN ADVOCATE
British Rancher Of Opinion tbs Little
Animal Is Much Abused, and
Gives His Reasons.

There has been a lot of garbled
stuff written In regard to the poor
humble beaver" says a correspondent
He is the most cussed animal OF any
in existence in British Columbia to-
day.
He shuts up water in creeks. over
flows meadows. eats off apple trees IL
you get them too close to his wander
ings, and, in fact. 20 hear the COM
plants about him. you folks on the
outside would think he should be ex-
terminated. But not so; he is mans
best friend in regard to the water
question.
Now, am an admirer OF the beav-
er; he has not n lazy hair on his body.
He works increasingly to shut up what
you have torn out; not only for his
part, but for the rancher that wants
the water. AS fast as you can open
their dams every morning all the sum
mer through. they Will close them
again at night. But put in a good
dam and fiume box with gate, and your
trouble is over in a great measure.
They will once In n while shut up
the box but not often. Hang up n
piece OF bright tin on a spring hole so
the tin will swRsh in the water. and
you will not be bothered much at tho
box. Now. If the ranchers left all
these cuts open. which they all do.
your water would all run off in tho
winters thaws. So that is where the
beaver comes to their relief. He shuts
them up himself. And then he gets
blamed for doing f.
"a beaver is awful shy when ne
first sees man. He certainly puts out
for hole in the bank. But you show
up evenings for about n week or ten
days and Just walk around and pile a
few sticks across their path where
they are hauling down cotton wood or
willows to the lake or pond and they
will come and smell Of the stick aud
get the scent of your hands and your
tracks.
Then they will quit that place and
go make another. Wen, you do the
same at that place and so on two or
three nights and they will get your
scent so that they know It means no
harm to them. They will pull all your
sticks out of the road and keep right
on at work. Now their fear of man is
all past; they take no more notice of
your being around than they would
of a horse or COW.
'"The beaver is one OF the easiest OF
the larger animals to domesticate. He
is fond of most any kind of roots, but
of all the wild roots. he likes the big
pond lily root that grows to enormous
| size. Some roots are ten to fifteen
feet long, three to four inches in di-
ameter. They criss cross and grow
together till they are a regular mat.
Then what he likes next is the white
carrot, also the red. They are poor
eaters out Of a dish; they want to sit
up and brace themselves on that mus
cular tail and take the food in their
forepaws, or their little hands. "-Fdr
