The Child Was Saved.

Dear Uncle Jed One cold winter s night a fire broke out in a tenement house near the railroad station. An alarm was sounded and the flremen rushed to the place.
 little girl was sleeping on a couch in the parlor. When she awoke she was nearly suffocated with smoke. A fireman was standing at the foot of the ladder. He heard the child scream and he rushed up the ladder. he caught her in his arms and brought her down to the ground. The house was burned but the child was saved The fireman received a large sum of money from the child's parents. Don't you think it was a brave act?

TOW OdO won IHS ndSos
 The day had come at last The Public school was to have its an nual races that afternoon
 At two sharp the runners appeared ready for the contest.
 At the creek of the starters pistol the runners sprang forward.
 Walter Sommers and Carl Williams took the lead.
 Williams was well known and had run in races before; but Sommers was new pupil and not very well known. These two runners kept will in the lead.
 Many cheers were given for Will jams, but hardly any for Sommers. Walter noticed this and determined all the more to win.
 In the last hundred yards these two runners were side by side. All was quiet when suddenly a man arose in the stand and said
 Sprint. soonl Sprint and win, Walt err"
 Hearing this Walter sprinted for all that was in him. breaking the tape a few feet ahead of his opponent. The man who had cheered him on came up to Walter and said: Well, son, you did it, didn't your" q sure did. dad" the boy replied. But if you hadn't spoken I doube if I would. though" Talking earnestly to one another they returned to their little home.

How He Helps

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would write you about my home. My father has three horses and one COW. We have also twenty or thirty chickens and have six little chicks.
 This week an old bantam matched six little ones and I am glad to say that none has died.
 I drive in the COW to be milked. In our gardens we have planted tomatoes and cucumhers.
 I like to chop wood and also to water the garden at night.
 My father gave me a large box. turned this into a, fort with a door and some loopholes in it.
 We, also have five kittens.

POETRY.

 The Vail of the PIundered Thrush. (F'rom The Revolt of the Birds" by
 G. E. Young.) O gentle little mate of mine How can l voice our woe? 4 true torn heart must needs design To ease a cruel blow. If e'er gladneSs can impart 'Tis now the power I'd choose; Love summons every highest art When it must break sad news.
 Reffaint duet
 Weave your sorrows into song,
 Turn to music even pain;
 Care is brief, but art is long,
 Hope restrings love's harp again. Five little lovely eggs we had, Five pledges of our love; Right proud we were, and wondrous
 glad
 For such gifts from above. Not one is left of all the five, They all are blown or crushed; Our hearts joy never can revive, Our cheerful songs are hushed. The cosy nest we built with care, And made so tight and trim, All broken lies, beyond repair, Down by the rivers brim. How far we few!-we searched our
 best:
 How many hours we toiledi But ruthless hands have torn our nest; Loves masterpiece is spoiled. The Revolt of the Birds'' is a little play in which the birds are supposed to turn the tables on the cruel little boys and girls who have ill-treated them The lesson is that love con- auers all.

 Some are black and white and others are black and tan. I have pick ed out one which is black and white and is blind one eye, but he is very odd, for he has hair that is fluffy.

The Child Saved from Death.

The Child Saved from Death.
 .Throw all the little baby boys be- longing to the Israelites into the river,'' ordered the cruel king. One mother hid her baby boy until he was three months old Then she could hide him no longer. She thought What can I do to save my baby 2' At last she thought of a plan. She made a little basket boat, laid the baby carefully in it. carried him to the river and hid him among the tall grasses that grew in the river near the shore. Then she went away.
 But God was taking care of the baby. Bye and bye the kings daughter came to the river to bathe. She saw the basket and ordered it brought to her. When she saw the little baby she wanted him for her own.
 The baby's sister had been watch ing nearby. When the baby cried she said to the princess:
 Shall I get someone to take care of the baby for you?'
 The princess said: Yes. go!" and the little sister ran to get the baby s mother.
 Then the mother came and took her baby home She knew because the kings daughter loved the baby no one would harm him.
 The princess named the baby Moses. When he was old enough the princess sent for him and he went to live in the kings palace.

FORTUNES in APPLES

Asheville Citizen.
The marked success of several
apple growers in this immediate
section again calls attention to the
unlimited opportunities which await
energetic orchardists in the state of
North Carolina, and particularly in
the western section. 1t is conceded
by well-informed authorities that
North Carolina can grow apples
that compare favorably with any
in the country-apples that are
really better than many sections
can produce. So it would appear
that while casting about for new
industries we have sadly neglected
one that is more profitable than the
average-the cultivation of high
grade apples.
A local commission merchant is
authority for the statement that
apples grown on the farm of Mr..
Ohas. A. Webb last season brought
litty cents barrel more than the
best apples that were shipped into
New York from all over the coun-
try. What Mr.. Webb has accom-
pllthed in this section can be done
10y other growers who employ the
same scientific methods in the cul
uvation of the apple. E.
With such and end in lew step'
are now being taken to bring tn
'orchardists of the state together to
eether for the purpose of organizing

In the eastern and central parts of
the state such organizations have
made for great progress in the
methods of handling and marketing
apples, and plans are being laid for
campaigns of education through the
press and other printed works. 1t
is apparent that a product of such
fine merit and rare possibilities as
the apple should be given wide
spread attention, and The Citizen
believes that the day is not far dis
tant when apple growing along
scientific and intelligent lines will
be one of the chief industries Of
the state. Exceptional conditions

Don t Kick
Against a
Stone Wall

VlCKING a stone wall does
IA no good and only prevents
further progress. AS a pastme
it may furnish some exercise,
but it is extremely wearing
on the nerves. shoe leather and
temper. The parcel post is a
stone wall that the small mer-
chant thinks falsely he has rea-
son to kick. 1t has brought him
increased competition with the
mail order houses, according to
his view.
But the parcel post stone wall
has a hole in it that leads the
small merchant into a fertile
country where his erstwhile
competitors can only follow aft
er considerable delay and at
greater expense. The ''hole' is
the zone system, which makes
every merchant the center Of a
circle whose diameter is 100
miles, within. which he can de-
liver goods much more quickly
and at a lower postal rate than
any mail order house.
The parcel post is no longer a
theory. but fact: and facts, like
stone walls. are futile things to
kick. Take advantage of what
it offers instead.

RECENT GOOD
ROADS LEGISLATION

Friends of good roads in North Da-
kota are more than pleased with the
legislation secured from the legislative
assembly which has just adjourned at
Bismarck.
The only opposition encountered
came from some of the members who
did not really understand the benefits
which will be certain to come from the
advanced and progressive stand taken
this winter.
The interests of the farmer and the
man in town are absolutely identical
in the good roads movement. What
benefits one, helps the other. What
hurts one hurts the other.
The cash payment of road taxes is
virtually secured. County commits
gioners by taking advantage of the
laws passed recently can do wonders
son. 1t is now up to them. They are
responsible for progress in the differ
ent counties, and people will look to
them from now on to see that the full
advantage is taken of recent legisla-
ton.
ono of the best things that came of
the fight for good roads was the
ferent commercial clubs and other or
~ganizations over the state.
The Fargo Commercial club was es-
pecially active In cooperation with
the special committee from the Devils
Lake Commercial club, and without

much that was done could not AVE
been accomplished. All the commercial
clubs all over the state helped materi-
ally in securing what legislation was
obtained.
