AMUSEMENT FOR DULL DAYS
Circle and Makes His Way Around,
Closing the Gate.

The illustration represents in the
simplest outline a primitive wolf trap.
The dotted line is a gate opening in
to a circular enclosure. How was the
trap set and the wolf caught?
The trap consisted of two circular
fences higher than a wolf could scale,
with a gate as was shown IN the for
mer diagram. To set the trap a lamb

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience Of Motherhood is q try
ing one to most women aud marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not q
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly are for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children.
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an u~nprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
win persist in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

Billy Mudge's
Surprise
by OSCAR cox

Billy Nudge was a strapping farm
, er's boy, ambitious of something more
/ profitable than blowing. sitting all day
on a reaper or tossing hay up into the
second story OF barn with a pitch
fork. Billy was trudging along through
| wood one day when he came to a
| clearing. There was a small house on
| it, but no one appeared to be at home.
Billy noticed the place before leaving
| the edge Of the wood, and suddenly he
saw something else that made him stop
short On the opposite side of the clear
ing man emerged from the road and.
taking position behind tree standing
alone, surveyed the house intently.
Then he moved toward 1t stealthily.
keeping his eye fixed on ii, and on
reaching 1t began to examine 1t for
some place of entrance.
From dream Billy had suddenly en-
tered upon a reality. How much there
might be in 1t for him he didn't con-
slider. Apparently it was nothing more
than an opportunity to prevent thief
from committing depreciation. Billy
was unarmed and felt IT necessary to
proceed cautiously. The man he watch
ed, after trying windows and doors, at
last found an opening to the cellar,
through which he disappeared.
Billy looked about him for a weapon
and found stout cudgel on the ground,
which he picked up and clutched with
a firm grasp. He had time to think
while the man was In the house and
realized that the robber doubtless had
either a revolver or knife. perhaps
both, and to attack him would be to
get worsted He therefore decided not |
to enter the house, but wait till the
fellow came out follow him, steal up
behind him and fell him with blow
from his club.
In few minutes the front door was |
thrown open. and the thief emerged,
carrying a long yarn stocking. full as
after a visit from Santa Claus on |
Christmas eve. Billy knew the way
that some country persons kept their
money and recognized the stocking as
the depository Of the occupant of the
house. He stopped and moved for
ward. expecting the robber to go the
way he had come and intending to fol-
low him. But just as the fellow was
about to step down from the porch
on to the ground there was a sound Of
breaking underbrush and a thud of
horses hoofs on turf. and a girl on
horseback emerged from the wood into
the clearing.
Billy paused and awaited develop
ments.
The man dropped the stocking. and
the girl. pulling in her horse. rested
the rein on his neck. covered her face
with both hands and was shaking with
convuIsive sobbing The robber. who
had been caught in the act. hung his
head. II was evidently not merely a
case of a common thief being detected
BY a stranger, but a brother or a lover
surprised by his sister or his sweet
heart
There were words-reproaches likely
which Billy could not hear. The girl.
,alling on the man TO follow her. urged
,er horse from the clearing the man .
