the success of his maneuver when
with loud bay the oldest hound once
more took up the scent and the whole
pack was after him.
Now the chase was on in earnest
Red Fox put forth all his speed, since ,
cunning was no longer serTceable.
He could still gain on the hounds, all
except a few. of the older ones, hard
ened by years Of the chase. Hounds
and horses were strung out over the
fields behind him, but the old hound
still led the remnants Of the pack, I'M
firing and logged.
CHANGING back over his shoulder,
Red Fox saw that of all the horses,
only two were near him. One car
ried a man in a red hunting coat,
the other a woman. They were gal
Looping side by side. 1t seemed to Red
Fox that there was a certain hostility
between them. Red Fox could scent

to each other, the woman kept her

there was sort of rivalry between
them for his capture.
He was frightened for almost the
first time in his life. He began to
dodge and double. Suddenly he re-
membered that the little stream
which he. had passed earlier that
morning wound its course not half a
mile distant, in some dense fir
patches. If he could make that he
might throw the hounds off the
scent.
They were not fifty PAGES away

him rolled the brook, wider here, and

A Short Memory.

Uncle Jed was trifle slack about
quitting the bottom when the levee
broke, and had to take to tree. Morn
ing came, and there was sixty feet OF
Mississippi flood water between him
and shore. The preacher happened
along on the high ground and saw Jed,
but there wasn't any boat. Moreover,
Jed's suspicion that there were alli-
gators about was we'll founded.
The preacher besought Jed to swim,
but in vain. Finally he called out:
"Jed, have faith. Remember how
Jonah was cared for in the whale and
saved after three days"
Jed spoke earnestly.
"Yas, sub, remember. / ain deny
in nuthin' bout Jonah, cause want
nigh UNI. But dis year alligator, he
ain no whale, sub. Alligator, he eat
a niger an go off an sleep a week,

Every year finds this association pro-
crossing, but the past four years have
recorded its greatest advancement.
Women, by securing fraternal protec-
ton, are freer TO seek out new fields
Of endeavor and become more indie
pendent and capable.
A woman's convention without one
word OF dissent is rather an unusual
thing. This was the experience, how
ever, OF the recent eighth quadrennial
convention Of the association In New
York. Every session was model
Of business ability and parliamentary
procedure, and plans were laid for the
present quadrennial term which were
aimed to meet the great and growing
work Of It's $4,000 women.
Many important features were placed
before the convention for decision, one
being the changing Of the name from
the Ladies of the Maccabees Of the
World to the Woman's Benefit Asso-
citation of the Maccabees.
Another important step taken was
the acceptance of plans for a hand
some new home office at Port Huron,
Mich. This will be a large, magnif-
cent two story white stone building on
the main street Of the home city Of

According to some reports great In
genuity in the use of scientific knowl-
edge in extracting food values from
unusual sources is being employed,
the Baltimore Star states. There are
many articles good for human food
and wholesome food at that, which UNI
der ordinary conditions are not drawn
upon at all. There are the angle worm,
the grasshopper and fully a score OF
plants not ordinarily used as food
which, properly prepared, constitute
nourishing foods. 1t is perhaps only

the grasses that are eaten by animals
have nourishing juices. Glover and

have been obliged to eat field grasses

REALLY WAS NO MYSTERY
Seeming Puzzle Of Two Sunsets In
Two Minutes Easily Explained
After Little Thought.

A rambler was reading an incident
that had been no part of his planning
for that particular trip:
ut was like one of those moments
the neurasthenic knows when he
doubts the testimony of his senses and
trembles with the fear that at last
his mind is giving way. But the twain
behind me exclaimed together at the
phenomenon, and I breathed easily
once more.
Leaving Tarrytown toward five
o'clock on a perfect afternoon, I set
tied back comfortably to enjoy the
setting Of the sun as it travelled with
what seemed undue haste toward a
high peak of the Palisades. Then, as
if at a signal, it dropped behind the
peak, leaving dull brazen trail Of it's
glory. l shut my eyes, little disap-
pointed at so hurried closing Of one
Of those days when it seems good to

cliff towers at various points is the

Ever Hit Thumb With a Hammer?

Ever Hit Thumb with a Hammerl
Here is little device which you can
make at home by which the tiniest
tack can be held without possibility of
injury to the fingers. Take strip of
tin about three-quarters of an inch
wide and about six or seven inches
long. Shape it with a small slot in one
end. Then double it, bending at the mid
die. When ready to insert the nail put
it into the slot, which will hold it by
it's head. This gives kind of handle by
means of which you can hold the nail
perfectly upright while you hit it with
the hammer. Of course the holder
must be pulled away before the nail
or tack has gone all the way into the
wood. If you have not the tin at
hand strong cardboard will serve the
purpose. Try this little device just
once and am sure you will feel amply
repaid for your trouble in making it,
as it will prevent many bruised
finger-Woman's Home Companion.

His Idea.

Those angelic-looking little boys,
with golden curls, are usually just like
other boys; fact often overlooked by
female relatives and other adoring la
dies. One of this cherubic brand OF
small boy came back from school the
other day rather depressed because he
had no nickname.
Il spoke to the teacher about it" he
vouchsafed, his big eyes opened wide,
a mournful look about his angelic
mouth. 81 told her some nicknames

The Woman's Benefit Association Of

its fraternity in fifty-fve states and
provinces.
The protection of the association can
be secured for whole life. and whole
life combined with disability benefits

sick benefits. The rates are scientifi-
cally graded, and no member pays
more than the cost Of her own protec-
ton. When 1t Is known that Miss
West has, with her own hand, signed
away over 100000, an estimate can
be formed Of what this association has
already done toward mitigating the
dread ordeal incident to death.
