After the great log had foated
down the stream and fastened usell
in the bank just in front OF MT,
Caters cave, many more logs hoated
down that way too, for lumoermen
were hard at work in the forests up
stream. But instead of loosening the
log, as you might fear, they only
rammed it deeper and deeper into the
muddy bank. So that when the lum-
bermen themselves passed that way,
some weeks later, they could not
loosen it to take it on with them
They had to leave it there in MI
Caters undisputed possession
OF course, such an event as that
made quite a stir in the river.
A great CARR fish, with dozens OF
little CARR fish swimming at safe dis
lance, so as to safely hear all that
might be said, swan up and eyed the
log and the alligator who dozed upon
it, And when, after long summing,
the alligator slipped back mot the
water, the CARR fish. keeping a very
safe distance from those great jaws,
of course, remarked, That's a very
nice log you have, Mr.. Cater; just
such a log as you have been want
ing"
Mr.. Cater blinked knowingly and
agreed, "A very nice log. Just what
I've been wanting. Very true" For,
he thought. it does no harm to agree
with a CARR fish and perhaps then ne
will swim a little closer next time.
But fortunately the CARR fish didn't
swim closer, he was far too wise and
too old for such foolishnessi Indeed,
yesi
Day after day, old Mr. Cater crawled
out of his cave and onto the log and
there he lay as still as-as still as the
log itself. And all the creatures, big
and little, got SO used to seeing him
lie there doing that they thought no
more about him-which was exactly
what Mr.. Cater wanted to happen
Oh, he is a wise old fellow, there is
no doubt of thati
And then one day, when Mr.. Cater
had become quite used to his log, and
his summing on it, another creature
climbed onto the log and started sun
ming himself too-the very ideal And
that bold and reckless other creature

that he also had such an ambition.
Their precipitate mention of their
plans caused Dorothy to begin at once
to find excuse for despising her faith
ers professional friend, whom she had
hitherto regarded with polite indiffer-
ence- She passed an uncomfortable
day and the dinner hour ap-
preached, she mentally pictured their
guests as a tiresome lot, although she
hadn't even inquired about their num-
Der, their age or their sex.
In a simple dinner gown of white
net with a blue girdle. with her blond
hair softly knotted at the back and
with her blue eyes darkly serious, she
entered the living room from the rear
just as her mother was greeting the
arriving guests. First, her mother
presented her to Mrs. Elwood, fresh
skinned, gray-haired woman of fifty;
then came Miss Elsie Elwood, in her
early teens, and then from the hall en-
tered John Mowbray and Dorothy's
father and with them came the young
man whose glasses she had shivered
that morning in the park.
MY nephew, Jack Elwood, Miss
Dorothy" said John Mowbray, and the
embarrassment of the young people
was happily unnoticed owing to Miss
Elsie's delighted discovery of Doro-
thy's Persian cat in the doorway.
When John Mowbray became gov
ernOr tnat ran, DOrOtnyS 1ather was
appeaSed at losing him as a Son-in-
law and rewarded for the political aid
given him by seeing Dorothy, as the
wife of his favorite nephew, preside
as the mistress of the governors man
sion. But, except themselves, nobody
ever knew why the locket that Dor
othy gave Jack on their wedding day
had tiny black bear enameled on one
side of it.-(Copyright, 1915. by the

Nor would there be reason for much
kicking in these parts if the present
brand of weather continued on and
through the entire summer. But it
probably won't. There will be many
chilly days yet Even some of the
June days in Kansas are so rare as to
approach being raw. And in July and
August the sizzlers will undoubtedly
put in an appearance. They may be
doubly vigorous, too, in order to make
up for their failure to get on the job
last summer.

Household Hints


Hot alum water is the best insect
destroyer known.
Put the alum into hot water and let
it boil till it is all dissolved; then APP
ply the solution hot, with brush,
to all cracks, closets, bedsteads and
other place where any insects are
found. Ants, bedbugs, cockroaches
and creeping things are killed by it,
while it has no danger of poisoning.

Your Garden.

If you are crowded for garden
space and must make every square
inch count.
Between the rows of early potatoes
set cabbage plants, or plant lettuce
or radisheS.
Plant the climbing tomato where it
may climb on the fence; or, drive
stakes well into the ground for sup
port, keeping the side branches well
trimmed.
Plant cucumbers in two or three salt
or sugar barrels filled two-thirds full
of rich dirt; you will be sur
prised at the number of cucumbers
that can be grown in this way.
After digging the crop of early pota-
toes plant turnips for fall and wi'ser
use. being careful to thin the plants
when four or five inches high.
Set out a bed of winter onions and
cultivate them well for their use the
following spring.
Tomato With Onion-Take toma-
to mot overripe). cut into thin slices
as YOU would a cucumber. Cut
small onion as fine as you can and
sprinkle all over tomato slices. Sprin-
kIe over with salt and pepper, add
vinegar and serve.

SLOUGH as a lawyer, he has served
this state as attorney general, and
now for three terms very ably and
acceptably as United States Senator
He is a man of the people. A. O.
Eberhart, former. governor Of the
state, has both legislative and ex-
ecutive experience: Having recently
held the Office of governor, he is
more intimately acquainted with the
people and with the needs of every
section Of the state than any Of the
other aspirants, and in that respect
at least is better qualified than
any of the others. He gave the
state the best business administra-
ton it has ever had, and was very
active in boosting the state, promot-
ing it's development and furthering
truly progressive legislation. He is
also man of the people, and if
Clapp is not reelected Eberhart
would be an excellent man to- fiji his
shoes. With either of these two men
and Knute Nelson, Minnesota would
be ably represented in the upper
chamber Besides, there is Con-
gresham Charles A. Lindbergh, Of
Little Falls, who now is a candidate
for the senate. He has rendered the
state conspicuous service in the house
and has won a national reputation
as an advocate of monetary: tenn
perance and other reforms. Lind
bergh is not so we'll known in this
part Of the state as Clapp or Eber-
hat, but he will be no small factor
in the race. All three men have
more legislative experience and are
better qualified for the position of
senator than Mr.. Kellogg.
