AN INDIAN FAIRY TALE.

This story was a great favorite with
the little Indian children, who night
after night would listen to 1t with shin
ing eyes and open mouths as some
clever story teller spun tale after tale
to the little groups about the blazing
campfres.
The Indians say that long ago there
were two little orphans, a girl and a
baby boy. The little girl brought up
her baby brother. He was grateful for
her care, and a more loving brother
and sister it would have been hard to
find. However, as the years passed
Little Shell, as he was called, did not
grow tall like other Indian lads. 1t
was long after other Indian youths Of
his age went out hunting before his sis
ter would allow him to take his bow
and arrows and 60 into the forest
alone. He was so small that at first he
brought in only tiny game, but he was
so clever that soon he was the best
hunter in the forest.
Their parents had left the two Or
phans a stream In which many fine
beavers built their homes. One morn
ing Little Shell found a giant coolly
killing these little animals. Instead Of
going away quietly when told to do so,
the giant fought Little Shell so fiercely
that the lad had trouble In taking care
of himself, but at last he whipped the
giant. sending him limping away. never
to trouble any one again.
But the evil giant In going cast Gu
rious spell over Little Shell. Little
Shell was no longer content to stay at
home, but felt longing to go travelling
about all over the world seeing all sorts
of strange sights. Little Shell knew
this was no life for his sister. He
went home and told her he must leave
her. $50 be it, brother" she said.
'Then l will await your return, where
1 can always watch over your wander
ings. Far up I'm the eastern sky when
the mornings are clear you will ses
me. / have always loved the sky and
wished to live there"
So they parted, and the next morning
a beautiful clear star shone far up in
the sky and has shown there ever
since. 1t is Little Morning Star, sister
of Little Shell, whom the Indians some
times call the Little Wild Man Of the
Mountain. And he has never come
home, so the Indians tell their children.
For is not Little Morning Star still to
be seen waiting in the eastern heavens
for the return Of her rowing brotherf
And the Indians believe that some day
he will come back, and then the broth
er and sister will shine together in the
sky.

GIFTS FOR ROCKIES

Don't Make Whatnot Of Your Depart.
ing Soldier Boy
II win be no kindness to Load down
the departing soldier boy with senti-
mental but useless knickknacks which
win only be a burden to him and
which, however he may dislike TO do it,
he must throw away or Otherwise get
rid Of before real service days come.
But there are various little, things
which should prove to be real comforts,
and the shops are full Of last gifts for
departing soldiers Just now. The
leather belongings will appeal 10 most
men more than cretonne or silkiarticles
Of home manufacture. A man must
have a very strong sentiment about
stitches set by somebody's little fingers
to prefer a bullying homemade sewing
kit Of Powered silk to a nattb. ship
shape kit Of leather. Besides, the leath-
er "hussufs'' housewives) furnished
with thread, needles, pins and scissors
for mending socks and uniforms, there
are leather covered writing pads which
contain pad, envelopes, stamps and
fountain pen, leather photograph cases,
leather toothbrush cases, hairbrush
cases and complete dressing Kits, the
latter holding quite an extraordinary
equipment Of toilet belongings packed
into very small space. There are also
playing cards In leather envelopes.
rubber lined leather tobacco pouches,
unbreakable metal mirrors In leather
cases and money belts Of suede with
pockets Of various sizes for money, let
tiers, private papers and photographs.

Brown Eyed Susans.

Little brown eyed Sue did stray
Into a field of flowers gay,
And, very much to her surprise.
She saw the flowers had big brown eyes
The flowers gayly tossed their heads
And looked at her and gently said.
What is your Manner "My name ID
Sue"
$50 you're brown eyed Susan too"

If you don't try to fix your sick kidneys, you may fall into the clutches of dangerous disease before you know it. But, if you live more carefully and help your kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills, you can stop the pains you have an davoid future danger as well. Don't experiment. use the remedy Pine Bluff people arc publicly endorsing. Read this case:
 Mrs. J. P. Tucker, 1917 F. Seventh street, Pine Bluff, says:
 "Some years ago I had severe attack of malaria and for quite awhile after I suffered from kidney disorder At times my back gave out completely so that when I was lying or sitting down, l had to have help to get up There was constant ache in my back I had frequent dizzy spells and spots often seemed to float before my eyes My kidneys showed annoying symp- toms of weakness and my feet an( ankles were swollen badly. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me and after had used three more I was in good health.''

THE WHY OF PEACE TALK.

We have been told clearly that there will be no definite peace inclin- ation from this country unti. we have finished the war by finishing the Ger man Iaristocracy and ridding the world of Hohenzollernism.
 As this hasn't been done yet, it would seem that the time for peace talk has not officially arrived. That, at least. is the official Washington view
 The pope, however, through vatican officials, tells us that peace is slow 4y developing; that it cannot be ex- .pected to come overnight, and that its progress might be painful"
 It would appear that in time of general warfare, folks like to specu late about peace as sort of contrast
 And it must be remembered that what the American nation is fighting for is just peace that will make il impossible for an unjust war to pro ject itself in tine future.

GUyNEMER'S LAST FIGHT.
Great French Aviator Went Down Be-
 fore Great Odds.

Paris, Sept. 27.-George Guynemer's last fight is described by a comrade who is quoted by the Excelsior as follows:
 "Guynemel sighted five fighting machines of the Albatross type, D-3.
 "Without hesitating he bore down on them. At the moment enemy pa trolling machines soaring at great height appeared suddenly ard fell up on Guyncmer.
 "There were 40 enemy machines in the air at that time. including Count von Richtofen and his .rcus divis- ion of machines painted in diagonal hlue and white strines. Towards Guy nemer's right some Belgian machines hove in sight, but it was too late.
 "G1ynenler must have been hit. His machine dropped gently toward the earth and lost track of it. All that can say is that the machine was not on fire"

KILLING AND SAVING.

: For three years the worlG has been appalled, at the destruction of life by the war. Yet some things in con nection with saving life that have been developed during that time too easily pass unnoticed.
 In the field of caring for infants, nothing in peace time has arproachess what has been done since the war started. England, France and Ger many are paying closer attention to avoiding unnecessary deaths of in fants, and the rate of demise has been reduced remarkably. The infant in the warning countries is in the nature oi a ward of the state and its little life is looked after, be it's parents rich or poor. Mothers also are careful! guarded.
 The achievements of science in solv ing the problems incident to wounded men. the improvements of surgery, ny giene and welfare work among men likewise is huge landmark ID hs history Of the war.

BRITISH COLUMBIA
 TO BE "RONE DRY

Victoria, B. C., Sept. 28.-Jolln Barleycorn is making his farewell ap pearance in British Columbia. which is to come into the "bone dry" column at midnight tomorrow night by virtue of the new prohibition law.
 The main provision of the new law is that "no person shall within the Province, by himself, his clerk, ser want or agent, expose for sale, or di- rectly or indirectly, or upon any pre- tense. or upon any device sell or bar ter, or offer to sell or barter, in con- sideration of the purchase or trans fer of any property or thing, or for any other consideration, or at the time of the transfer of any property or thing, give to any other person any liquor"
 A breach of this all-embracing en- actment is punishable with heavy pen alties, namely with not less than six months imprisonment with hard la bor for the first offense, and from 12 to 21 months Imprisonment for sub- sequent offenses.
 Provision is made for the use of liquor for special purposes. The law has been brought about in some what unusual manner. The question of prohibition was submitted to the people sometime back, when the Brit ] ish Columbia soldiers in France ano England voted, and there was a smal majority against bringing the prohi- bition act into force.
 A subsequent inquiry evidenced the fact that the soldiers vote was, thru out, most irregular affair, and one full of gross breaches of the electiol law. Among the irregularities, it was discovered that men had voted in theil friends as well as in their own names
 The British Columbian government decided to ignore this manifestly i'm proper vote, and to act on the voting which had taken place in the Province itself, with the result that the "drys' easily carried the day.

WHY COAL IS SCARCE.

There are several reasons why coal is high and scarce, to-wit:
 Unprecedented industrial activities. Factories that once ran eight hours a day are running sixteen and twenty four.
 Railroads, the largest consumers of coal in the country, are consuming more than ever before.
 This has been going on for two years, and little by little the national coal bin has been depleted.
 Not only our own country has been requiring coal in unprecedented quan- titles, but Canada and other nations we supply have increased their de mands.
 The government itself has been us ing more coal for the navy than ever before-and at the same time we are supplying the navies of other nations.
 Under the contracting system that has been built up in this country the large users of coal, who contract for great quantities are in a better posi- tion to obtain their quota, while the small householder is at a disadvan- ltage, and as conditions are now, is in danger of getting little if any. It is the object of the government to see that the small consumer sets his share, and to this purpose the To l cal committees in every county in the United States where coal is uset to any extent, are planned. This system undoubtedly will dc much to alleviate the conditions.

The noint ic that these achieve.

The point is that these achieve ments are likely to continue when peace is restored. It is unthinkable that the warning nations will ever again suffer high infant mortality or that they will throw overheard the advantages of the new surgery.
 War may be wholesale slaughter ing match; but the very desire to provide "cannon fodder" forces con servation measures undreamed of in peace times.
