DOG SAVED GIRL FROM MlRE
Through Miles Of Tangled Forest
Canine Discoverer Took Master
to the Lost Child.

Campbellton, N B.-After being
lost In cedar swamp four days and
four nights and found by a dog, the
seven-year-old daughter OF Ernest
Burabe OF st. Andre was returned
home
Hundreds of persons searched the
forest unsuccessfully for several days.
A heavy rainstorm prevailed and the
searchers feared that the girl had
persisted from exposure. Danger Of
attack from wild animals was also a
possibility.
The fourth morning after the cIilds
disappearance dog owned by John
Cyr, neighbor OF the Burabes, awak-
ened his master. The animal acted
50 strangely and was so insistent that
his owner followed him TO the woods
He suspected that the dog had
found the body of the child. He fol-
lowed the dog for six hours through
miles Of forest. The dog finally
stopped at Q big tree and barked.
Leaning against the trunk wae the
lost girl. The girl said that tho dog
had found her the day before. but
that she was too weak to follow him.

because on the day he heard of her
birth he won victory over the Thes-

A great city with Its harDor full OF

Of trade, the Egnation way. At the

CRANBERRY SAUCE AND JELLY
Best Way to Prepare Them for Those
Who Like This Condiment With
Their Birds.

Cranberries are in the market now,
and there are many who prefer their
tart sweetness TO any other sauce
with birds, says a New York Sun
writer. They are best when iellied,
and should never be sent to the table
IN any form without being strained
free or skins. An excellent way to
jelly these berries SO that their deli
cacy and crisp flavor shall be pre-
served is the following:
Pick over and wash two quarts OF
cranberries: put them In a saucepan
with cold water. Stew the fruit over
a slow fire until it may be pressed
through a fine sieve. To each pint OF
the pulp add pound OF fine white
sugar; then place over the fire to boil,
stirring briskly FOR about fifteen min
utes or until the Jelly thickens on q
cool saucer. Then pour in moIds and
let It stand till Arm.
s This Jelly is also an ideal accom-
panIment for the broIled or planked
spring turkey or guinea fowl. The
birds are at their very best now when
they are small and young. They
should be well buttered and bits Of
bacon pinned over them for either
planking or broiI1ng Very hot plates
and plenty OF best quality butter are
necessary for the perfect service OF
birds.

IN FAVOR OF MISSIONARIES
Farmer Needs One Who VIII Study
and Solve Problems Of Farmer
His Reward la Small.

TO the officers and members OF the
Farmers Union:
have always been In favor of mis-
sionaries.
The kind that the farmer now needs
most Is the man, just one man, with
the missionary spirit In each county,
who will study the problems of the
farmer and bring to their solution the
same zeal and fervor Of the man or
the woman who travels to distant
lands to convert the heather.
The farmer is the greatest, the most
priceless, asset OF America.
His problems are the problems Of
the nation.
They cannot be settled by 1ectur-
ers or enthusiasts In convention halls,
however kind-intentioned or devoted
these gentlemen may be.
They must be solved by the man
who lives with the farmer the year
round, who sees him in gladness and
sorrow, who can show him how to
avoid the pitfalls OF the demagogue,
and also of his own weakness. and,
here and there, his suspicion and his
credulity.
Do you think there is one man In
your county who will put up with your
cussedness. as well as your nobility
for you are a strange mixture of both;
do you think there is one man in
your county who will develop the
courage to tell you the truth, not
once, but all the time; who will stick
to you, even when you show signs Of
abandoning him?
That is the sort OF spirit needed to
aid the farmers Of America, wherever
located.
The work may not pay much in dol
lars and cents. But the man who en-
lists in the cause may have as his
reward the consciousness that he is
serving generations yet unborn.

The London Sphere asserts that
there Is national awakening to the
persistence of ancient errors in the
training OF boys In the public eie
mentary schools. 1t Is now seen. the
Sphere says, that to teach boy read
ing, writing and arithmetic only and
TO dismiss him from school at fourteen
or younger without further training
either Of his hands or his mind Is
suicidal for the boy and for the ma
ton, too, inasmuch as boys thus
brought up ultimately tend to swell
the ranks of adult nondescript labor,
of the unemployable, or even of hooli-
gans. The Sphere praises the results
which have been achieved by tech
aical training schools where boys are
taught manual crafts, and. after a
thorough course, are watched for three
years with a view OF seeing how far
they win out in the battle OF life. The
careers Of these trained boys are saio

NEEDLESS NOISES.

1t Is possible to have q big town

There Is large amount OF unneces-

noise and less calculated to bring

personal affairs that he has neither
time nor inclination to do much for
the general comfort and welfare. Pos
gibly about seven-tenths of the noise
incident to city existence could be
Bubtracted without any especial detri-
ment to the progress of industry and
commerce and the ordinary transac.
ton OF business, and with undoubted
relief and pleasure to persons of SD

delight in the quiet life. Under such

In "whooping it up" all along the

Little Rodent Mingles With Big
Crowd Of Shoppers in New
York City.
YOUNG AMERICA HELPS
Most Of the Women Fled, but the Big
Scene Came When One Of the Fair
Ones Lost Dainty Shoe In Which
the Animal Seeks Refuge

New York.-A wee gray mouse,
hardly out Of its infancy, suddenly ap-
peared on the sidewalk the other day
on crowded Westchester avenue In
front Of Baumann's shoe store at NO.
TAO The broad thoroughfare was full
Of women shoppers.
It was a question who was scared
most, the women or the little mouse.
Mousie sig-zigged across the sidewalk
in frantic efforts to find hole. His
every turn was followed by shrill
screams Of the women, who even
dropped their bundles in their haste.
One woman raised her skirts and
made a flying leap, landing on the
running board OF passing automobile
and thus made her escape. Others
were not SO agile or fortunate. They
had to keep on running until out OF the
zone Of danger.
In less-much 1ess-time than it
takes to write it, there was not wom-
an In sight The small boy took her
place in great numbers. Here was a
sport with some class! They formed
a hollow square and encouraged the
mouse in his every little movement,
Poor little mousie dashed from side
to side, his terrified squealing sound
Ing above the delighted shouts of
young America.
But the big scene was to come.
Mousie had tired. Motionless, his beedy
eyes flaming with terror, he crouched
back against the store window. Then
the door opened and utterly uncon-
scious of the excitement without. her
mind evidently intent on the brand
new French heel ties that adorned her
shapely feet, out came a baby DOLL
The meeting between the young wan
an and mousie was accurately timed.
Both gazed throbbingly into each 9TH
er's eyes at the psychological mo-
ment. Then both fed, and in the same
direction. Young America became de.
lirious with the very Joy Of living.
