Somewhere between the first and

somewhere between the middle and
last of September he goes; and, mean
while, he would put the Joy of life
into the most inveterate hypOchrOn-

somewhere, in the upper blue from
which the bob-o-link tumbles into our

the man who named him!
Yet, in a way, he has named HIM
self; for 'boboIink' is supposed to be
a fanciful imitation of his song. But
no human word can ever be a true
replica of that ecstatic outpouring,
that most curious, incomprehensive,
jingling, roundabout, laughable med
ley
And as to names, he is far from
satisfied with one, but has at least
eighteen. Some of these are but
variations Of his real name, while the
rest are veritable little aisles by which
he Is known in various parts of the

CONVERSATION AS AN ART
Attractive in Any Individual Is the
Ability to Talk Both Well
and FIuently.

Conversation is one of the most
important things in your life, because
it is the point of vital contact with
other minds. By it you mold others
and are nodded by them. If you listen
20 conversation that expresses hope
and courage and love Of life, it tends
to make you feel that way, too. But
if you listen to conversation that
throws cold water on your good in
tentions, or holds up the bad instead
of the good, or makes you feel that
life is a very commonplace, humdrum
affair, it tends to draw you down
into it's own mental vortex and takes
away the natural Joy of living.
What you say, of course, has a
similar effect on others. Do you re-
alize that your conversation is one of
your chief powers for good in the
world? If you are sensible Of its
powers, and let your better self make
conscious use of your tongue and
voice, it soon becomes second nature
and your life will be a blessing to
others wherever you go. And they
Will be apt to pick up the strain they
get from you and pass it on. Others
in turn will catch the spirit from them
and pass it on without limit. If we
always remember that, how careful
Ne should be to keep our converse
tiOn on subjects that are truly worth
while, and to let the thoughts we ex-
press be only such as lift the mind
to a brighter Interpretation Of life.
Why not resolve within yourself that
you will be a conversation litter and
not a dragger down of thought? One
touch Of purpose will work wonders
in directing conversation into profit,
able channels.-Delineato

Fire Fighters Face Great Dan
gers in Forest.
Flow Pulaski, by Goodness and Bravery,
Prevented the Loss of Thirty
Five of His Crew In
Cour d'AIene.

New York-Prof. yelling, tanned
and toughened by his summers work
in the Occur d'Alene national forest
reservation, held his eastern visitors
spelIbound with stories of the fight he
had helped to make against the fearful
forest fires, says the Youths Compan-
ion. He had gone out, with two others,
under government commission, to
study the forest and, coming back In
August, they had met the fires and
spent almost a month in fighting their
way out of them.
There are real men among those
forest rangers" he went on. In fact,
there is no place for anything that Is
not genuine up there. The most thrill
ing story of heroism that have heard
in a long time is the story of Ranger
Pulaski. 1t did not happen in the part
of the reservation where l was, but L
can vouch for it's truth, for have
talked with some Of the men who
were with him.
Pulaski had forty men under him,
and they had been fighting big fire
WV
til it blew gale. The fire got beyond
them, and it became a question OF
saving the lives of the men. They
were many miles from railroad or a
clearing.
"Puls@Ei remembered that about a
mile from where they were working
was an abandoned mine shaft that ran
back about forty feet into the hillside.
He ordered the men to snatch their
blankets from the camp and run for
this shaft Once there, they packed
themselves like sardines into the hole.
Pulaski placed himself at the opening
and stretched a blanket across it.
I'm a few minutes the fire overlook
them. Tho blanKet at the oiening
caught and Pulaski jerked 1t away.
Again and again this was done, and
when the supply Of blankets ran low
he held the burning fragments across
the mouth of the shaft with his bare
hands.
THE suffering of the men from the
heat and smoke was pitiful. They
we're fairly maddened by it, and some
of them made wild attempt to push
their way out of the shaft. For a
while Pulaski held them back by sheer
physical strength, for he was an I'M
usually strong man. But he knew that
he must soon be overpowered and that
the men, in their frenzy, would rush
out to certain death. He drew his re-
volver and told them that he would
kill the first man who attempted to
break away. The men knew that he
meant it, too, and that knowledge
brought them back to reason.
ut wasn't more than twenty minutes
before the worst of the fire had passed
the shaft When it was safe to crawl
out they found that five of the men
we're dead from suffocation, but the
other thirty-1ve we're all right. Pulas-

WOMEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES
Writer Advances Some Good Reasons
Why This Unfortunate Condition
Must Exist.

The average woman now begins
that study of society which will merge
ultimately with the marriage cam
paign. She makes many discoveries
which she admits frankly to herself.
She comes to many conclusions" says
Inez Haynes Gilmore in Harper's Ba-
Ear, which sink unnoticed into her
subconscious mind. If marriage, for
instance, is her natural career, then
men are her natural prey.
But unfortunately there are never
enough men il her world to go round;
and of those from whom she may hope
to choose some are much more desir-
able than others. Naturally she pre-
fers the desirable ones-i e., the
'eligibles.' But-and here she runs
against her first obstacle-every 9TH
er single woman in her circle has
come to the same conclusion. From
the instant she realizes this she
must declare war on every other mem
Der of her sex.
Men must often wonder at that mi
mute and merciless examination to
which, on a first meeting, every
woman submits every other wom-
an. Men must often marvel at the
power of quick observation which
women always develop in these cir
cumstances. This Is only the swift
Interrogation with which a warrior
surveys the arms of his opponent
Women are forever discovering new
and complex weapons in the posses
sion of rivals. And, perhaps, the
most terrifying element in the situa-
ton is psychological-her sense of
baf1ement, in that she cannot judge of
women for men any more than they
can judge of men for her. Every 9th
er woman becomes her enemy. To
succeed in her world she must play a
lone hand and cut-throat game"

If your floor mating has faded, but

To take out the mark sometimes

If shoes have been thoroughly wet
don't attempt to dry them near the
stove. Rub in plenty of vaseline or
plain lard and let stand in cool place
several days, and much Of the original
oil will be restored.
II the bedstead Is really brass, a
piece of flannel moistened in salt and
vinegar will clean it. Slightly touch
