A Born lawyer.-A lawyer advertis-
ed for a clerk. The next morning his
Office was crowded with applicants-all
bright, and many suitable. He bade
them wait until all should arrive, and
then ranged them in a row and said ne
would tell them a story, note their COM
ments. and judge from that whom he
would choose.
A certain farmer" began the law
yer, was troubled with red squirrel
that got in through hole in his barn
and stole his seed corn. He resolved
to kill the squirrel at the first opportu-
nifty. Seeing him go in at the hole one
noon, he took his shotgun and hred
away; the first shot set the barn on
fire"
Did the barn burn?" said one Of the
boys.
The lawyer, without answer, continu-
ed: And seeing the barn on fire, the
farmer seized a pail of water, and ran
to put it out"
did he put it out?" said another.
AS ne passed llSiue, the NoOA
to. and the barn was soon in flames,
when the hired girl rushed out with
more water"
Did they all burn up?" said another
boy.
The lawyer went on without answer:
Then the old lady came out, and all
was noise and confusion, and every
body was trying to put out the fire.
Did anyone burn up?" said another.
The lawyer said: There, that Will
do: you have all shown great interes.
in the story" But observing one little
bright-eyed fellow in deep silence, he
said: Now, my little man, what have
you to say?"
The little fellow blushed, grew un-
easy, and stammered out:
Il want to know what become OF that
squirrel, that's what want to know
You'll do" said the lawyer: you
are my man. You have not been switch
ed off by a confusion and barn burn
ing and the hired girls and water pals.

WHEN YOUR FACE FREEZES.
Applying Snow Only Makes 1t Worse,
According to Stefansson.

According to Stefansson.
The idea that when your face or any
other part Of your body begins to
freeze you must thaw it out with
snow, is declared to be a superstition
by Vilhjalmur Stefansson in his book,
MY Life With the Eskimo" Few
things could be more absurd, he says,
and yet this is a superstition that has
been carried with many an arctic ex
plorer through long experience in the
north. Tales are told Of how even the
application Of snow failed to relieve
the freezing, and these are taken as in
dications of the severity Of the case,
instead Of proof that, as a matter Of
fact, the snow only assists the freezing
process. Any high school pupil, Stef-
ansson says, could tell offhand what
would happen If liquid air were ap-
piled to a mans cheek or nose; Of
course the part would freeze instantly.
Snow has the same though less rap
i'd effect.
The whole secret Of dealing with
frost bites Of the face in arctic travel,
he says, Is to keep the hands warm
and to run the warm hand over the
face every few minutes to see If any
part Of it is frozen. Usually also, one
can keep oneself fairly well informed
about the condition Of ones face by
continually wrinkling it and making
faces" If spot of skin or cheek the
size of a 25-cent piece becomes stif,
one can always detect 1t by making a
grimace. Then all one has to do Is to
take ones warm hand out Of ones nit
ten and press it to the frozen spot for
a moment until the whiteness and
stiffness are gone.
In the very coolest weather in the
arctic, however the way Of taking care
Of the face is different. When man
Is properly dressed for winter there his
coat is a loose fitting one with sleeves
so cut that at any time he likes he
can pu his arm out Of the sleeve and
carry it against the naked breast in
side his coat, to keep the arm and
hand warm against the body. The
neck of the coat Is made loose, and
whenever any part Of the travellers
face refuses to wrinkle up he pushes
his hand up through the SETTLING
neck and presses it for a moment on
the stiffened portion Of the face. AS
soon as the freezing part is thawed he
pulls his hand in on his breast again.
In long arctic journeys any attempt
at protection by covering the face de-
feats itself, for the covering over the
face becomes frozen and aggravates
the difficulty. A clean-shaven face Is
best for arctic travel, for with beard
it is not possible to thaw out the face
rapidly with the hand and there are
conditions when the beard becomes a
mask Of ice over the face.
Stefansson says that the Eskimos as
a race are no more immune from
freezing Of the face than are the white
men. Susceptibility in this matter Is
an individual and not racial trait.
Some Eskimos are as sensitive as any
white man.-Indianapolis News.

IA' Grace was a country girl, whose
parents sent her to the city to attend
college. When the holidays came
around and she came home, her mother
gave a reception in her honor.
Some of the girl friends asked Grace
to show them her new gowns. Oblig-
ingly she brought out several modish
gowns, and holding up particularly
pretty one Of silk, she said:
isn't this one perfectly beautiful?
And just think, it came from poor,
little insignificant worm!"
Her hard working father was seated
near, watching the performance, and
he replied:
Yes, darn it, and I'm that worm!"--

Butcher Wouldn't Believe It.-Health

Butcher Wouldn't Believe lt.-Health
Commissioner F. A. Kraft Of Milwau-
kee tells a good story on Sixth ward
butcher, whose market is one OF those
that worry the chief food inspector into
sleepless nights and who was cited to
appear before the health commissioner.
He was told that his market was a
disgrace to the neighborhood and his
methods too filthy to tolerate. Prose-
cution and a probable fine was sug-
gested.
After voluably protesting his good
intentions and promising improvement,
his eyes, according to Doctor Kraft, fell
upon a picture of a model butcher shop
erected by North side butcher. The
man studied the picture critically, and
not without reverence for some time.
Study it," finally said the commits
sioner. You need the example"
The butcher showed some bewilder-
ment, then said slowly:
"Ya-as; vot iss it,"
What is It! Why, what do you
think it is?"
"Oh, think maybe it's church"

though good teeth are as much an in
heritance as good features or good
temper. Watchful care on the part OF
the parents, however, will prevent
much suffering from the teeth for the
children. The daily use Of the tooth
brush should be considered as much Of
a necessity as the daily washing Of the
face and hands The teeth should be
cleaned as often as the body.
Fevers Mark the Teeth.
ANY fever disease, such as measles,
scarlet fever or diptheria, leaves it's
mark on the teeth. 1t is apt to make
ridges in the enamel. The first teeth
should be examined regularly by a
dentist and filled when needed. This
gives the later teeth time to come
down properly. If the teeth are in good
condition, pure candy will not hurt the
child-a little good candy is necessary
for him. If there is a suspicion Of de-
cay, no sugary foods should be given,
as the sugar forms an excellent medi-
um for the cultivation of bacteria in
the mouth.
Such frequent clinics at the school
will take away from the child all fear
of the dentist or of having their teeth
fixed Dentistry is not the rackinS
torture it used to be and excellent work
may be done with very little pain.
Il believe it is true that few farmers
pay any attention To their teeth. They
let them ache as long as they can en-
dure the pain and then they have them
extracted. They prefer having it out
to having it filled, and this is why so
many farmers wives have sunken
cheeks and lined faces-from the loss
of teeth which mi ght have been pre-
served for years. Again, these dental
talks would relieve the school teacher
Of the burden Of having to point out to
child the need of a tooth brush.
Slow to Wake Up.
This missionary work can be man
aged easily if the school boards would
consider il seriously, but we have found
from experience it is very difficult to
get serious attention on this topic from
people in authority. The dentist Is ac-
cused of grating and of trying to OBJ
tain patients. Whereas, every reputa-
BILE dentist is eager to spread the gos-
pei of clean, we'll cared for teeth.
"A copy of the Weekly Stars recent
article on Dirty Teeth should be plac-
ed in the hands Of every country school
teacher and every member Of school
board. 1t is a subject on which every
parent should be informed if we are to
have future generation Of clean
mouths and good teeth"
