Won End If awfully lonesome up here?" they de-
clare that never for n moment, after the nrst
half hour following the departure OF the wagon
which had brought up their last load OF sup
piles when thew had chance to look around,
did they feel the slightest inclination to retrace
their steps.
There were many things, aside from their
work, to keep time from hanging heavily on their
hands. In the first place, there was always the,
great map spread out at their feet to study by
new lights and shadows. Then bird and animal
life were plentiful filing the air with songs
and chatter; coming to the doorsteps for food,
and often invading the cabin ITSELF frequently
deer fed around the cabin in the evenings. seem
ing realize that they had nothing to fear from
the two human companions couple of porcu-
pines also became very friendly and caused no
end of amusement by using various means to
find way into the cabin at night.
Down by spring, where they got their water,
a small bear made his home, and several times
they found the tracks of larger ones on the
trail They also heard the cries of a panther one
night. But they we're never molested by any of
these animals, although they were well armed
to defend themselves if the decision demanded.
During the summer they cultivated small
garden and raised chickens. These things, added
to their plentiful supply of canned goods. to say
nothing of the mountain trout which they caught
almost at their doorsteps, afforded them varied
menu Then they were always certain of sup
neyed up from Baker.
So the summer months passed, their life
busy and joyous one with the lure of hidden
riches to urge them on in their work. Then one
day, in the fall the expected vein was uncov-
ered-and the two girls celebrated the discovery
by turning their last cake of chocolate into
fudge!
The finding of the vein necessitated trip to
Baker, to make arrangements for the construc-
ton of mill and the installation of a stamp
battery for crushing the ore. So they locked up
the cabin and started the 18-mile trip afOot.
The mill was erected that fall, and while the
two girls did not actually put it up themselves,
they took an active part in its construction and
superintended the work until it completed.
They also helped build little railroad for the
ore cars from the mine to the mill
The following spring the stamp battery was
put in place and then the real work Of digging
and crushing the ore began. But this work
was quite beyond the efforts of even two such
industrious and ambitious young women. they
gagged foreman and number of to assist
in these operations. There is never any Ques-
ton. however, as to who are the real bosses Of

tuitively in these two energetic girls the moving
power and the guiding hands behind the whole
project. Quickly and unerringly their eyes SIN
gle out any fault in the work. Then IN low
pitched, modulated voices, which nevertheless
have in them ring of command, they give their
orders, and the men, with the air of those who
bow to superior knowledge of the subject are
quick to obey.

lain's statement hits the nail on the
head. The only way in which the
country can be made to realize its
present unprepared condition is by the
work the National Security league is
doing. and it is pleasing to note that
we are making an impression upon
the men in congress to whom we must
look for the necessary legislation and
appropriations. There is still. how
ever. a tremendous amount of work to
be done. There are entire sections of
the country which have not been made
acquainted with the facts concerning
our lack of preparedness and which
must be educated. The task is Il great
one. but we feel that the progress
which has been made along definite
and conservative lines and without any
regard to politics is one which the en-
tire country ought to appreciate and
support"

ENDORSED At HOME
Such Proof as This Should Con.
vince Any CIoverport Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When man comes for
ward and testifes to his fellow-citizens,
addresses his friends and neighbors,
you may be sure he is thoroughly con-
WINGED or he would not do so. Telling
ones experience when 1t is for the pub
lie good Is an act of kindness that
should be appreciated. The following

CHOPSTICKS IN JAPAN.
How They Are Used and How They
Are Served In Public Places.

The use of chopsticks is general in
Japan, except among the richer class
es. who have adopted European knives
European cuisine. Small bowls of chi
ma or lacquered wood are the usual
table equipment. After the various
solid portions of the food have been
lifted to the mouth with chopsticks the
liquid remaining is slipped from the
bowl.
In the case of rice. which would be
tedious to pick up grain by grain. the
bowl is often raised to the mouth and
the rice shoveied or pushed in with the
chopsticks. 1t is also customary to
pour little tea into the rice bowl aft
er it has been nearly empticd. and in
this way the few remaining grains of
rice are washed down us the tea Is
drunk.
At public places the chopsticks at
each meal must be new. This is indi-
Gated by the fact that the chopsticks
are made from one piece of wood and
are left joined together, rs were

States. These new chopsticks are in
cased in a thin paper envelope. sealed

EXPLOSIVES OF WARFARE.
To Great Extent They Are Develop
ment of Fireworks.


War is Wholesale fireworks cele-
bration. A giant 6recracker is really
a dangerous bomb. and rifle grenades
are but small rockets. carrying high
explosives and fired from rifles. Great
fort destroying projectiles look simply
like gigantic rockets.
The first magazine gun was Ro-
man candle. The first projcctile pro-
PEELED by an explosive was a rocket.
The first Shrapnel was bomb dis

lets.
Modern warfare is, 50 to speak. Il

However. gunpowder-th first eX-
plosive-was itself mere play stuff for
ut least Il thousand years before any
body thought of using it for war pur-
poses. 1t was commonly employed in
China for fireworks ana crackers dur
ing the earliest centuries of the Chris
tian era. The bombs nowadays drop
ped by military ayiators are chidren's

deadly.
