Let the Cows Have Music.

We have it on the authority Of q
farmer in the state Of Wisconsin tint
cows to which the photograph, or
:5rapophone, has. been played While
they are beiAg nilled have given two
quarts Of milk day more than they
ever did before. Professor Harker re-
marks upon this that COWS win do a lot
better if they are entertained and
amused, and that great deal depends
upon their mood.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

The life of John Buckley.

1t was ancient history to some that
the 'Iife Story of John Buckley" ed
tied by the well-known J. G. Buck
master of the South Kensington mu-
scum, London, was really the story Of
its EDITORS life. 1t was one of the
books of its season in 1907, one of the
best bits Of biography we have in fact,
and I am not surprised to find that the
question of its authorship has bobbed
up once again in the old country.

When sending q stamp in 4 letter In
stead of moistening one corner and
sticking it to the paper, inoisten a
small spot in the center of the stamp
and then affix it to your letter. The
removal of q small. part of the adhesive
substance from the center in no. way
impairs the usefulness of the stamp ;
whereas it is often torn if the corner
is fastened.

Eskimos.

The original Americans of the far
North are brown instead of red and
are not Indians. Their name, Eski-
mos, which they dislike, means "eaters
of raw fish" But they haven't been
driven yet to change their name by
cooking the fish, says the World Out
look.

sand he's good" added Sheba eager
ly. "He never talks of it, but one
finds out splendid things he has DONE"
The young man smiled, but not at all
superciliously. He liked the stanch
faith Of the girl in her friend, even
though his Investigations had not led
him to accept goodness as the out
standing quality of the Scotsman.
II don't know what we would do
without him." Diane went on. "Give
him ten years and free hand and
Alaska will be fit for white people to
live in. These attacks on him by news
papers and magazines are an outrage"
"It's plain that you are a PARTISAN"
charged Gordon gayly.
"I'm against locking up Alaska and
throwing away the key, if that is what
you mean by partisan. We need this
country opened up-the farms settled,
the mines worked, the coal fields de-
veloped, railroads built"

Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-01-16
CHAPTER VII,
The End Of the Passage.

Wally Selfridge was a reliable busi-
ness subordinate, even though he had
slipped up in the matter Of the ap-
pointment of Elliot. But when it came
to facing the physical hardships Of the
North he was malingerer. The Ka-
matlah trip had to be taken because
his chief had ordered it, but the little
man shirked the journey in his heart
just as he knew his soft muscles would
shrink from the aches Of the trail.
The part of the journey to be made
by water was not so bad. Left to his
own judgment, he would have gone to
st. Michael's by boat and chartered a
small steamer for the long trip along
the coast through Boring sea. But this
would take time, and Macdonald did
not mean to let him waste day. He
was to leave the river boat at the big
bend and pack across country to Ka-
matlah. 1t would be rough, heavy
trail. The mosquitoes would be con-
tinual torment. The cooking would
be poor. And at the end of the long
trek there awaited him monotonous
months in a wretched coal camp far
from all the comforts Of civilization.
No wonder he grumbled.
But though he grumbled at home and
Mt the club and on the street about his
coming exile, Selfridge made no CON-
plants to Macdonald. That man of

ings for the fleshpots. He was used

uled and waved dismal farewell to

how much this country here owes
him." -.------ ----- - -
