"You Always Pay"

You always pay, you know" said a
forger who was captured recently aft
er years of liberty as a fugitive from
justice.
Sure you do. Whether you violate
mans law OF natures law, which is
another name for Gods law, you al
ways have to pay, and the full price,
too. Some pay, as this mar did, in
lodging and Sinking through the world
like a hunted beast. his mind worried,
his face gradually taking on a furtive
look, knowing always that somewhere
ahead lay the steel jawed trap all set
and ready.
Some pay with broken health, others
with broken hearts; some surrender
friends and love. some give all in life
worth living for; some cast their con-
science to be gnawed by the wolves of
remorse, some not only pay their own
share in full, but shift part of the bur-
den to their children and their chill
dren's children. yer to the third and

Method in His Madness.

When Alexander Dumas, the French
novelist, was a young man he was
%grievously insulted by a man whom
he had regarded as his friend. Every
one expected him to punish the of
fender severely, but instead he began
looking out for him with more consid-
GRAFTON and apparent friendliness than
he had ever shown before. AT length,
three years later when the erstwhile
friend was to be married, the novelist
was asked to serve as best man and
did 50. When the ceremony was over
and the guests were leaving, solne one
remarked to Dumas: II have often
wondered at your Kindness sto this
man.. Surely yours is d remarkably
forgiving nature, for, although he in
suited you grossly, you have assidu-
ously looked out for lis happiness
ever since and even assisted him in
getting married" quite right" an

Have You a Dodqe Miniature?

There are today a very large number
of homes in America where the most
treasured possession is a small old fash
toned miniature, painted some time be-
tween the years 1928 and 1870, most
likely, and which bears in tiny, unos-
tentatious lettering the name of the
artist. -. Dodge" If the miniature
be that of a bona fide ancestor and not
that of the bought variety its possess

in practically every instance it is all
the proof necessary that the family an
cestor was somebody. For the artist
who painted these pictures did the
most mastery work. and his patrons
represented the statesmen and lead

Successful T..nppinn.

Whenever | catch an animal that
leaves a natural odor in the vicinity |
am almost sure to get another in the
same place. An animal will come Il
long distance to investigate a scent of
its own kind. One should be very care
full not to leave human odor of any
kind when killing a trapped animal
since this will brighten away another
fur bearer who has come to find the
cause of the scent.
Few trappers stop to think how keen
ly sensitive is the nos of a game or
fur bearing animal. Just suppose that
you could smell as many things as you
can see. Cover carefully every human
odor on the trap line and you have half
caught your animal. Then use some
good scent to tickle his sensitive nose
and you will win.
One of the best single drugs that can
be used to allure a fur bearer is oil of
anise. Oil of lavender. %asafetida, rho
dunn and peppermint are often used
together in manufactured bats. think
the most dependable scent bait that
have used is fish oil.-F. L. Brimmer In

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String Instruments.

Her method of many years. study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only n true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named "Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

and baked, until the rows of creamy white loaves stood waiting for the sol diers.
 And she knew they would come for them, Hardly would darkness fall but they would begin to stumble into her shop-a tired, mud-spattered little crowd, often wounded, but always hungry and clamoring for the bread.
 Tt was Marie's bread that pulled us through that spell of fighting, one of them said afterwards, Every night We would crawl almost all the way from the trenches to her shop on our hands and knees. There was hardly a man in the company who would not risk his life for a loaf of that white bread.'
 Risk their lives for loaf of white bread
 Can we, who daily sit down to tables with an abundance of white bread, know what this means? When we do come to this realization, there is not a housekeeper in America who will not try to devise some means of dividing our bread supply with the soldiers. She will be glad to substitute other cereals for part of the wheat in bread-maklng.
 Of course shipping bread is impos- sible. But we can ship wheat and flour. If the soldiers get any white bread at all next winter. the wheat must come from us. Unfortunately our wheat crop was below normal this year. This means we must make real sacrifice in the use of it, or there will not be enough left to ship abroad.
 It will not be hard to make this sac rifice when we have an abundance oi fruit, both fresh and preserved. For instance. if every housekeeper in America decided not to serve a dessert that required white flour for a whole month. think what a lot of wheat could be saved for the soldiers, And this would be a very simple thing to do. Fruit desserts are innumerable. Look them up in your favorite cook book.

To little Marie it had seem ed but the obvious thing to do when the fighting came near her village, and the other inhabitants fled, for her co stay in her fathers bake-shop and bake bread for the soldiers.
 All day long she s;ayed there alone while the guns thundered in the near distance and an occasional sharp eN- plosion followed by the crashing of glass and clattering of fallen wood told her a s.ray bomb had landed in one of the village streets. Still she mixed, kneaded, and baked,-mixed kneaded
