Goats are perfect marvels in
clearing forest lands for cultiva-
tion. They eat the brush down
to the roots, take the .'slash''
from lumber operations for des-
sert and prepare the forest for
agriculture in a way no man can
except at great expense. In
northern Minnesota the home-
Fsteader or settler who has herd
of goats is the envy of all his
nsighbors. But, when the goats
begin to eat saWlogs their use
fulRess has passed.
In semi official report to w.
Il. Cox, Minnesota state forester,
q district ranger tells an inter-
esting experience. Finding that
it was somewhat expensive to
burn the slash and to carry
out the orders for forest fire pre-
vention, the company decided To
obtain a band of goats TO do the
work.
The goats did we'll. They. ate
all the brush, all the slash, the
grass and the shrubbery. The
lumber company was pleased.
+ But when the grass and shrub
1,ery, brush and slash were ex-
hausted the goats tackled the
|pulpwood and the logs.
"This will teach lumber COM
panies not to- cut their timber
too SMALL" was Mr.. Cox's coHl-
mont New York Sun.

over to the merry crowd and fun
and frolic held sway until a late
hour, when delicious two-course
lap supper was served by Mrs.

"FA,nr HEART, FAIR LADY,"

One of the most eligible bach
elors in this City has been doing
o few leap year stunts of his own
for the past year and several
times has found a. young lady
who just about filled the bill, but
each time he was a little timid
about making his thoughts
known, so some other man has
stepped in and taken the young
lady for better or worse. Last
summer while on his vacation he
became acquainted with fine
young widow, rich, handsome and
perfectly suited to the aforesaid
bachelor. He talked his incest
to her and was confident he had
made quite an impression, as he
was permitted to call as many
nights a week as he desired, but
still he hesitated to get an op-
tion on the object of his affec-
tions, SO the other day he re-
ceived a nicely engraved card
announcing her engagement to
another young man. This makes
the fourth time this has hap
pened to him in a short time. so
his friends are now coaching him
in the proper method to pursue
when he finds the object of his
affections and they are also feed
ing him on ginger so that it will
not take him forever to tell the
young lady exactly what he
means.

"moTnER.

l recall today the scenes Of many
years
That I have struggled through
mid tolls and cares,
OF the many burdens and a
broken heart,
When from my dear mother I had
to part.
Il was on q winters morn, the day
began to dawn,
An argel STOPPED and TOUGHER her
with a silver wand;
And WHISPERED. come up higher,
come UP above.
Whers all is joy and peace and
love.
They took her to the quaint old
church
That she had loved so we'll,
Where in happy days gone by
Her voice with song would swell.
But never moro her voice is heard,
That voice we loved is stilled,
And though others try to take her
place,
That place is never filled.
Friends tried to comfort me as
they led me from the ground;
AS the dirt fell upon her coffin
with such mournful sound.
I wondered then Does Jesus
care:''
My burdens seemed greater than
| ceuid bear.
He has said. am nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart;
The time is coming when all will
have to part:
l point you to the picture that
hangs on mcmory's wall.
That is OF mother. the deare at
and sweetest Que OF all.
