Comfort With Economy.

great principles of domestic economy,
writes a prize winner in the New York
Press. To cut down expenses without
cutting down the comforts Of home. to
encompass the need, to save without

tain simple rules underlie all success

4. lave an allowance and keep
within it.
Q. Eliminate the unnecessary.
8. Substitute the inexpensive.
4. Utilize by the by-product.

John lived on a farm, and, ike an
boys who live in the country, he could

him, but both boys had changed SO

there isn't much to be don on a farm

at the different farm house. n we

CAMELs CARRYING FIRE
WON TAMERLANE A BATTLE

A dispatch from England reports
that, among the bodies of indian

Tor centuries figured in the warfare
or the east, but he seems a little out of
place in modern Europe. History con-
tains no more interesting example Of
the use of camels than tina devised by
the %conqueror, Tamerlane.
This warrior, born in the summer of
1886, son of q humble Asiatic chieftain.
rose by sharpness of wit and strength
OF arm to be master of 27 kingdoms
extending from what is now the region
of Moscow clear through India. Tam
erlane was a terrible figure, and a
mighty warrior. In those days men
fought with brute force, rather than
with engines of war. The sword was
the chief weapon of o~ffense.
After a mighty struggle Tamerlane
made himself p~otentate over the imme-
date nations of Asia, and gave to the
city OF Samarcand a brilliant place in
history; One by one the Asiatic sui
tans came under his sway. India was
the rich prize. and against it Tamerlane
determined to move. This was in 1893.
With his host he crossed the Indus,
marched to Delhi, and stood in arms
before the gates.

rushed upon the invaders. TanlerIane
was sore pressed and the battle might
have gone against him had he not fall
en- back on his camels. Hastily t
ering a troop of the beasts, he had them
loaded with hay. Then, setting the
hay on fire. Tamerlene's soldiers STAN
peded the camels toward the ranks of
the Indians. The elephants. at SIGHT Of
the blazing hay, wheeled round and
fled in terror, scattering the Indian sui

For toothache, earache, neuralgia

manage their own farms.
Twenty-Five years ago many home
steaders abandoned their claims in North
Dakota and returned to the East. 1t
was during the dry years when pioneer
life seemed very hard and many were
unable to withstand the pleadings of the
folks back home" who kept urging
them to leave their newly acquired land
and return to "civiliZation." Then fol-
lowed a period of prosperity when the
lane was exploited and robbed Of its fer
tility. Even the rich North Dakota soil
wore out under such abuse and the crop
yield began to fall off. 1T was about
this time that Mrs. Kelley took up the
serious study of agriculture in which
she had long been interested. Kelley
gave her fun control over his 10O0-acre
farm. .... d. /
