full Otto called and the dwarf opened
its eyes. The coins ceased to come

thanked the kind dwarf and went
home to show his mother his good

And very good luck it was, for they
bought good farm, built nice house

lived comfortable life.
( Now, when Ayel heard that his

it happened. Otto told him about the
dwarf, the tree and the gold coins.
So Avel set out to the tree and began
at once to pull on it. The dwarf came
out Just as he had done before and
asked the boy to leave his home alone.
Il will do nothing of the kind" Avel
replied, unless you give me basket
of coins.' The dwarf told him to hold
the basket, but that he must remem-

Avel held the basket while the

gold began to roll out of the tree.
But when the basket was almost full
he did not tell. II want all | can get"
he laughed, "and am not afraid of
any bad luck; that dwarf just don't
want me to get enough" So the bas-
ket got so full that two coins tumbled
out on the ground. In an instant the
whole basket and coins vanished and
in their place was big puddle OF
frogs croaking.
| Avel ran home ashamed of his
greediness, which had brought on him
such misfortune. He had nothing
now, and knew that he had refused

Turtle Lumber Company, the plant
and mill of which is located on the

All sorts of interesting additions and

it should be so, when one hears the
gossip! For envy, malice and all un-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


Can you give me good recipe for
caramels? Would you advise me to
entertain my sorority by letting them
make candy? N. ~ l..
think it would be very good idea.
Plain caramels require but a pound
of sugar and enough water to melt it.
Boil them until very brittle and pour
on buttered plate, and as soon as it
is cool enough to receive an impress
sion from the finger, cut into squares.
Then when cool, coat with sugar melt

Any Gentleman

The following editorial from
the Chicago Herald is so fine that
we pass it on to our readers:
Any gentleman can swear, get
drunk, tell stories that would low
err him in the estimation of his
mother and wife, and go where he
would be ashamed to be seen by
the boy he loves-but he won't.
Any gentleman can drive a
sharp bargain; he can take advan-
tage of the other mans necessi-
ties; he can drive him into cor
ner; he can rub his hands gleeful-
ly and say to himself as he sees
him writhe, Business is bust
ness" but he won't.
Any gentleman can kick dog,
abuse horse, misuse a child,
laugh at another man S mistakes
and devilishly gloat over another
man s failureS-but he won't.
Any gentleman can grow cynl-
cal, sour and pessimlstlc; he can
feel that everybody is against him
and he against the world; he can
scott at good things, ridieule re-
ligion and damn your Judgment
but he won't.
Any gentleman can say harsh,
sarcastic and cruel things; he can
crush flowers and fertilizer
weeds; he can stab you with
words-but he won t.
Any gentleman can make this
old world, this topsy turvy, this
greatly misunderstood world, a |
far better place because he chanc-
ed to pass this way-and he will !
