IF THIS IS YOUR

Consider well where you place your money and avoid losses Changes and travel are of doubtful advantage, and cafeful attention to accustomed tasks as the best course for you
 Those born today will have the fault Of carelessness, and the desire to keep up appearances will lead them into foolish eXtravagances. They will choose their friends from among showy peo- pie and will be inclined to be climbers, rather than to appreciate more val uable things.

Being little interested in know ing the real situation. partly on ac- count of his family and partly to in quire into the quarantine regulations he might personally be up against when he started home, MT Tracy called at the city health office to make inquiry He was told that three weeks ago there were 127 sus- poets under quarantine. A week later the number was reduced to 83 and when he was there it had been fur ther reduced to 56 And this in a city where there are 60,O00 children under 15 years of age. It is a small percentage but of course it needs watching.

New Blind Mans Buff,

When this game is played with care
and some little art it is very anus
ing. The blind man does not have his
eyes bandaged; he needs them and all
his wits besides.
white cloth is hung against the
wall in the same way as for magic
lantern pictures. The blind man is
seated in front of it on stool low
enough to prevent his own shadow
from being thrown on the cloth. At
some distance behind him is placed.
on high stand or other suitable sup
port, single lamp, and all the other
lights are put out.
When all is ready the persons in the
party form sort OF procession and
pass one after the other between the
lamp and the back of the blind man,
who is forbidden to turn his head. The
light of the lamp throws upon the
white cloth a succession of clearly de-
fined shadows.
AS the shadows pass before him the
blind man is obliged to name aloud
the person whose portrait he imagines
he sees in profile, and the mistakes
made cause much amusement Every
one has the privilege of changing his
appearance as much as possible by
STOPPING, limping, making faces or try
ing in any way to make himself I'M
recognizable. Forfeits may be given
by the person guessed if desired.

WERNLE REPORT TO Be READ
BEFORE THE JOINT SYNOD

our farm were very good. The har-
vest last year was not satisfactory.
Enough was raised, however, to meet
the full demands of the institution.
Five acres of swamp land were drain
ed and made productive. Our stock
consists of four horses, seven cows,
two calves, four sows, and twenty
three shoats.
From the reports of our treasurer
and financial secretary, the honorable
synod will note that We exceeded our
appropriation of $4,000 annually. Even
with the greatest economy we We're
unable to keep our expenses within
the appropriation made at the last
meeting. The high cost of living &C
counts for this.
Your board appointed the Rev. j.
Ridenour treasurer of the legacy
funds to succeed the Rev. J. Beck, of
Richmond, who felt impelled to re-
sign this work because of failing
fact that the $1,000 borrowed from
the endowment fund to build the barn,
has not been paid back to that
treasury.
of ether expenses, we call atten-
ton to the installation of a water
softener and the purchase of horses,
We also urge synod to appropriate mo-
ney for the construction of a septic
tank. The owners of the land below
the home have objected to the dis
posal Of sewage from the institution
into a creek which flows through
their land, and it is imperatively ne
cessary that a remedy be applied at
once. Your board consulted with
Fred Charles, city engineer of Rich
mond, and the latter prepared plans
and specifications for the septic
tank"

The Best Pose, AZ a Rule, Is For the
Three Face,

Three-quarter Face.
How very few people really know
how to sit for a photograph! Every
face has its weak points, and these.
unfortunately. have a way of cropping
up in picture and running the effect
OF course a photograph should be abb
soIutely lifeiike. but at the same time
one naturally prefers to look ones best
Scarcely one face In a hundred has
features perfect enough to promise a
satisfactory photograph in profile, for
this pose brings any little defect into
the foreground
For a full face picture a sitter must
possess fine eyes, above all things. If
they are good the pose win be a sue
cess. even If the other features are
lacking in comeliness.
II one has any pronounced defects to
hide. the three-quarrer face is really
the happiest way to be photographed
This position enhances the charms OF
the beautiful and tones down the irreg-
uIarities Of the plain face

a year or 30 the picture Is ruined by
the old fashioned headgear. But q pic

A Eioht For Fair,

Jim Hall. the Australian fighter,
came to Chicago at the time Jake
Schaefer, the billiard player, was in
his prime. and they came to know
each other intimately. Jake used to
josh Jim openly about his fighting ca

had been on the level
The pugilist was to be one Of the
billiard players party on a certain oc'
casion and looked bit seedy. The
conspicuous blemish was his hat, so
Schaefer gave him five dollar note
and told him to buy real one.
A part of the evening program was
a visit to a theater, where they sat in
a box. Hall hung up his hat on a peg,
and during the entertainment some
outsider made crafty exchange.
Jim looked over sunburned and bat
tered derby and exclaimed:

pinched my hat there will be one figh.

Reason For haycocks.

Farmers try to get their hay made"
as soon as possible, so that it shall
escape the rain, for rain washes the
goodness out of hay, leaving it very
poor food for animals.
That is why, instead of being left
spread about the ground to dry, hay
is made up into heaps called haycocks.
Half an inch of rain means fifty tons
of water on an acre of land. II the
hay is spread about, over the ground
all those fifty tons of water wash the
goodness out of the hay.
But if the crop is made into haycocks
these take up only one-tenth of the
space. Therefore they are washed by
only one-tenth of the rain water. In
other words, as you can at once see.
the hay is then washed by only FIVE
instead of fifty tons of water falling
upon it
This is the reason why hay is made
into haycockS.

Young students who are interested
in the history of our country are aware
that when the Unite( States assumed
jurisdiction over the philippine Islands
many strange tribes of people came un.

civilized and law abiding, but many

head of undesirable citizens" Indeed
some of the tribes were little better

these people were given no opportunity

Uncle Sam took charge schools have
been established, and even the widest

THE EARTH'S CHANGES.
What the Fossil Remains of Plants
and Animals Tell Us.

What the Fossil Remains Of Plants
and Animals Tell Us.
There was a time when even the
polar regions bloomed with many OF
the splendid and varied forms of life
that now adorn the tropics.
The fossil remains Of these ancient
forms preserved in the bosom of the
rocks carry us hack perhaps millions
of years in the earth's history and
show clearly what wonderful revolu-
lions the surface OF the globe has un-
dergone since the first plants and the
first animals appeared upon It.
Who would think Of meeting a rhi-
noceros nowadays on the prairies of
northwestern Canada unless perhaps a
travelling menagerie should pass that
way? Yet at one time, as discoveries
of recent years prove, a creature close
~ resembling the rhinoceros of India
and Africa dwelt In that now compar-
atively cold. snowy and barren region.
Remains Of these extinct ancestors
Of IN animal that I'm our day thrives
only in the tangled tropical forests and
under the hot equatorial sun have been
found buried in the Canadian rocks.
where now the cold blasts OF winter
blow over treeless plains and sweep
the tanks of ice incrusted mountains
The rhinoceros of that remote age
was no less formidable a beast than
its descendants. for the skull Of one OF
the skeletons discovered Is three feet
long. while some OF its teeth are four
inches across.
The fossil remains OF many other
forms of animals have been found I'm
the same region within recent years.
