y. Had Earned tn. ~lIokin'-

Representative Adamson says that q
stranger was hunting quail In the
mountains Of Georgia, where, by rea-
son of the wild peas, they were very
numerous. One day his dog flushed
flock of wild turkeys, to the rage Of q,
native youth who had been creeping
toward them. The boy promptly
brought his old fashioned six foot rife
to his shoulder, and the bullet cut mp
the dirt under the dogs feet The next
instant the boy disappeared. w
Later in the day the hunter came
across mountain cabin and saw the
same boy in the yard with q man
whom he took to be his father. He
hailed the man and angrily gave an
account Of the mornings Incident
eHe wasn't forty yards away when
he shot at my dog" he continued.

ment. "Yo' needn't worry bout that

OF Interest to the Children
MANDRAKE OR MAY APPLE.
Many Legends Cluster About This
Queer Shaped Fruit.

Many legends cluster about tho man
drake or May apple, most probably
because 1t bears distant resemblance
to the human figure
The forked root gives 1t the appear
ance of having legs, and fbers grow
ing about the top suggest hair, be-
meath which the wrinkled and twisted
head looks out like queer little old
mans face.
A person skillful with a knife can
make mandrake look very human In
deed. Many of these were sold in Ger
many for quite large price, as much
as Ga thalers being obtained for one
in 1875.
A very strange, not to say mean,
way of making money. by means OF
mandrake, offers itself, so superstition
says, to the person who will steal
piece of money from poor widow be
tween the chanting Of the epistle and
gospel on Christmas, Whitsuntide OF
Easter and place 1t under mandrake
The coin is said, under these condi
lions. to draw to itself coins Of the
same denomination from the pockets
Of passersby.

A Laundry Accessory.

A convenient thing to have In the
laundry II you have 1t to spare Is an
old trunk tray. Hang It up In handy
place by the strap when not in use.
On ironing day use It to put the table
napkins, doilies, lunch cloths, towels
and tablecloth in. AS they are ironed
lay each kind in separate piles. The
tray can be carried to the sideboard
or linen closet This will be found a
far easier way to care for these things
as they are ironed and a much more
comfortable way to carry them to the
places In which they are kept.

Axioms on. War.
An interesting collection of thoughts

There are two kinds Of plans Of cam
paign-good and bad. The good are near

Inevitable wars are always just
Imagination loses battles.
Warfare is a natural state.
In war there Is only one favorable mo

There are cases In which squanderins

An army Is a people that obeys.
Courage is like love-it feeds on hope

Napoleon's interests were not entire

maxims relating to the drama and Ut
erature:
Verse is merely the embroidery on the
dramatic cloth.
A good tragedy gains In value every
day. High tragedy Is the school OF great
men. and It Is the duty Of sovereigns 10

AN UNUSUAL MISHAP.
Fat Baby Fell Into Well In Texas and
Stuck Fast.

Fat Baby Fell Into Well In Texas and
Stuck Fast.
A Texas baby, eighteen months old,
has had a remarkable experience. On
the farm a ten inch well had been
bored to the depth of twenty-nine feet,
and one Sunday when the workmen
were absent baby undertook to inves-
tIgate the hole in the ground. and Its
feet slipped and 1t fell, or rather slid, in.
Fortunately 1t was fat baby, and
after going down seven or eight feet 1t
stuck fast. BY mere chance the mother
saw the child disappear, apparently
sinking into the earth, and gave the
alarm at once.
The child could not be reached and
had not sense enough to grasp a rope
and be hauled up, SO the neighbors got
to work and dug hole alongside of
the boring. When It was sunk to SUI.
ficient depth tunnel was run side
ways and the baby brought out IN
safety.-St Louis Globe Democrat

AN ENGLISH BOY SCOUT REPUBLIC.

The colony will have its own market,
to which produce will be taken each
day, and each patrol will keep its own
accounts, says the Montreal Star.
The boys will also be taught horse
manship, forestry, farm carpentry,
baking. blacksmithing and leather
work. As to general conduct. the rules
will be those ordinarily In force for
the boy scouts. 1t will be interesting
to see how the scheme works with a
sense of serious personal responsibility
borne by each boy.
1t is generally acknowledged that the
boy scout movement in America and
abroad has accomplished good re-
suits.

Renewing Coffee Stains.

A coffee stain, so hard to remove
when once "set" with soap, will easily
come out before laundering. Place a
pan under the stain, rub 1t with borax
and pour boiling water slowly over the
borax 30 that It drips through the Ia
blecloth into the pan underneath. A
small stain o. this kind may be re-
moved from a clean tablecloth while
It II still on the table. A deep saucer
may be placed under the stain to
catch the few spoonfuls Of water that
soak through It. When the moisture
has dried out the saucer may be re-
moved and the tablecloth used as II
no stain had marred 1t. Tea stains
win usually come out in the same way.

To keep toothbrushes sweet and
clean they should be washed In
strong solution of salt and water about
once a week, then rinsed in clean cold
water and put in the sun to dry. The
salt and water will keep the bristles
stiff and white and will prolong the

Here on the reservation,
Life goes along like dream,
That some old topper is having,
When the horrors upon him beam.
There are something's, here to contend
That demand efforts beyond human
[power,
Such as getting your fill of bacon.
Coffee, beans and flour.
But these are the troubles of many,
So we forget they are troubles at all.
And spend our spare time trying
To SOW, that we may reap in the
fall"
We know that the time is soon
looming,
When these troubles will be more,
And we expect, ''like the topper to
And find our worst hardships are o 'er.
We see here as we look around us
Endless stretches of bunch grass and
1t must have given Dame Nature
great sorrow
And caused Father Time to shead
tears.
AS they've strolled or the plains
together,
And Father Time has showed the
How much it would improve her hand
work,
10 cover those stretches with grain.
To think that the the human family,
For whom this work had been done,
Would let this great plain lay idle,
And bake in the hot summer sun.
AS we think of the grief and sorrow,
That's been given Father Time and
We're thankful that, it has been
others
Not, "Homesteaders who've been
to blame.
One of our greatest pleasures,
Is turning the virgin soil,
1t makes us forget we've yet before US
Months of worry, hardship and toll.
Then we forget that our banker has
told us,
That we've gone to the end of our
rope,
And our future success at farming
Is assured by our faith and hope.
For we know when we look at those
burrows
That there is just two things we need
Some barbed wire to keep out the
cattle
And few bushels of good clean
seed.
Then We'll fool the sly old coyote
Who has been waiting, thinking the
time would come
When we like the steers and cayuse,
To the hardships of winter succumb,
So altho we meet something that's I'M
pleasant,
And sometimes, tire of Homestead
ing you see,
We also have that blessed assurance
That before long we are sure to be
Rewarded, according to the effort
We've put forth, both you and me.
