At 7:15, Wednesday morning.
July %, 1915, the weather cool,
cloudy and threatening rair. we
started on our journey. Not un-
til then did we begin to realize
what an undertaking this might
be. We left town by way of the
bridge leading to st. Maries Peak
and as we rounded the curve l
looked back at st. Maries, our
mountain home, located on the
quietly sloping sides of encircl-
ing hills, at the sweet green
valley with st. Joe river, the
beautiful, winding its way tran
gully in and out, with its miles
and miles of shadOwy reflections,
more perfect than the real, for
beauties, we know, are presented
at every turn of this winding
stream, farther on lost in the dis
tant forest, its quiet, peaceful
Inood changes and the river be-
comes wild and rapid. Here is
the fisherman's paradise for no
where in the United States can
better trout-hshing besfound.
Just now the mountain sides are
a mass of white bloom for the tall
graceful spirea with its delicatc
feathery plumes is at its best.
Now we leave the st. Joe valley
and follow the st. Maries river
The road leads us along the base
of the hills. We can easily trace
the course of the river in It's
many turns through the valley, b,
the bright green poplar trees
standing so thick along its banks
The beautiful variegated darl
green branches bending graceful
" toward the stream, almOs
meet, forming a leafy canop,
overhead, Offering a most invit
ing retreat, an ideal place for
boat trip on a hot day. Tn
valley itself is most pleasing T.
behold, with its prosperous look
ing ranch houses, orchards, gar
dens and green fields. AS W
leave the valley the river make
a sharp turn and passes out Q
sight. Here is a most beautifl
sight, said by the Swiss people

III their own homeland. tn
mountains covered so dense
with trees of richest, darke'
green seem to merge into one ar
other, thus lending great heigl
TO them. They loom abrupt
before us as though caught up IL
to the air thousands Of feet. III
road leads us through miles al
miles of thick pine forests, Il
stately pines so straight and t'
and close together as to near
shut out the light Of day. He
still remain the giant trees tn
A blazed the trail, the mark of {
woodsman's axe upon them, II
a badge Of honor, as much as
say we were the first to point t
way and here we remain, sen

Rounding Sharp Elbows

40 HARP elbows and sharp
tongue" they used to say Of
the women who showed thin
elbows, with the bone plainly show
ing it's point.
Yet it is only true in so far as
sharp elbows go with thin arms and
therefore thin bodies, and thin bodies
often go with worried and nervous
temperaIents.
But because one has thin arms, or
q thin body, Is no reason why the
elbows should be pointed and ugly,
If you take proper care and precau-
lions. First, break the habit Of sit
ting, leaning on them. Constant
pressure of elbows on Handicapped
table will make them red and raw
looking-and the attitude In itself
is not graceful nor pretty for the
average woman.
This is simple and an effective
treatment. Wash the arms and Ell.
bows each night in hot water, to open
the pores and soften rough or cal
loused skin. As dirt collects on
rough surfaces use q flesh brush,
both for cleanliness and to bring the
new blood and the tiny particles of
nourishment it carries to the thin
place.
After this, take tablespoonful of
olive oil in the palm of the other
hand, and rub 1t well into the ell
bow-the pores are open and the
skin ready to take up this excellent
food. This will round the ugly joint,
build soft flesh over the elbow and
the arm as well.
Cocoa butter is equally as good.
This comes in cakes about the color
of table butter, and must be softened
by being held near heat. 1t is harder
to rub into the skin, but is one Of the
best flesh builders known.
A treatment like this once a day
is sufficient. In weeks time you
will notice wonderful improvement.

table stood between them still with its
tray Of quaint Nuremberg ware. Down
at the end of the drive the waves roll

GARMENT WORKERS
IN CHICAGO STRIKE

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-A general strike

industry in Chicago was on today. Be.

CHILDREN'S EVENING STORY 4

of them stepped on us we'd be as fiat
as dog biscuit"
"Ah, but we won't let them step on
u.s." objected Peetie. Come on; We
must look for the manager, who is to
hire u.s."
So they went on, seeing all sorts OF
wonderful sights. There were cages
containing lions and tigers and wolves
and monkeys, and there were camels
and giraffes and queer cows and a
rhinoceros and hippopotamus and
striped zebra, and oh! I don't know
how many other things.
Tents were being put up all over the
grounds and men were shouting and
calling and other men were getting
ready to sell peanuts and pink lemon
ade and balloons, and oh! it was really
a delightful place, only the puppy dogs
were anxious to do their tricks so they
would be hired. and could earn money.
For, in spite of wanting to join a
circus they felt badly about having
left their papa and mamma, but they
tried to forget that part of it.
All at once Jackie cav man with
a big black musta che and a long whip
coming toward them. He had big
shiny boots on and Jackie said:
This must be the ring master that
Percival told US about. Let's do our
tricks for him.
"All right" agreed Peetie. 1--WE
will
So they ran right up in front of that
man and they started in. They lay
down and rolled over and jumped
backward and forward, and Peetie
rode on Jackie's back and Jackie rode
on Peetie's back. and they jumped
long jumps and short ones, and made
believe leap over elephants, and then
they played dead and marched like
| soldiers and finally they stood up on
their hind legs and barked three times.
"Well, do declared" exclaimed the
man with the whip. IF some of the
trick dogs haven't gotten out OF their
cage"
mo they haven't" cried another
man. "All our dogs are safe.'
Then these must have run away
from some other circus" went on the
man with the black mustache. "Fu
keep 'em, anyhow. They're cute little
beggars, and we need some new dog
tricks. Here. Bill. take 'em and put
'em in a cage. Dress EN- up as
clowns and we'll take 'em in the
parade today. Lively now" and ne
snapped his big whip so loudly and
so suddenly that Peetie and Jackie
jumped quite high.
Then the other man called the pup
DIV dogs to him and they followed,
wagging their tails.
"Oh, we've joined the circus! we
really have!" cried Peetie to Jackie,
much delighted And we never had
to speak word either"
"We're going to clowns observed
Jackie. 81 heard the man say So
That's all right! Well have jolly
times and earn lots of money. Isn't
it great" remarked Peetie. And that
| is how it was that the puppy dogs
joined the show.
But Peetie and Jackie had some
hard times ahead of them, even II
they were trick dogs in circus, as
you shall soon hear, for the story TO-
morrow night is going to be about
