Canine Life Saver.

Dogs have been given their share of
credit for saving human life, from time
to time, but it is doubtful if any canine,
however faithful, has ever given q bet
ter account of himself as a life saver
than a dog did here. While driving
home to their farm from Pipestone,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Thiele were run
down at cross road by another car
which was travelling at great speed.
When the crash occurred the Thiele
car was picked up by the other and the
force of the collision threw a fifteen
months-old baby from Mrs. Thiele's
arms. The child would have met cer-
tain death beneath the cars but for the
fact that in falling the baby struck
a dog which was riding on the foot
board of the other car. The dog grab
bed the dress Of the child and clung
to 1t until the cars could be stopped.
The baby received fewer injuries than
did the other occupants of the cars.
Both machines were badly wrecked

The war has turned the habits Of

II has become difficult problem to
tell from a glance whether a man Is
n church member or disciple of John
Barleycorn these days. Two middle
aged men were riding on a Fifth ave-
nue. bus recently. Each had all the
surface indications Of being merry Old
souls, who tarried at the dinner table
and looked upon the wine while 1t was
fizzing. Both had red faces and pro-
nouncedly 'bay windows" And what
do you suppose they were talking
about? Naturally, one would say they
were discussing the attitude Of con-
gress for trying to make the country
bone-dry. But nothing of the kind.
They were talking about Bibles, the
number they had distributed to sail
ors and soldiers and the price of them.
And both chuckled because the war
had not affected the price of the good
book, which could be bought as low
as Is cents. When you hear conver-
sation of that nature in this town, 1t

immense Indian Food Dishes.

The largest food dishes In the world
were recently bought Of the Indians
Of Vancouver Island, British Column
bia, for the museum of the American
Indian, New York city. These dishes
were purchased from a tribe named
Kwakiutls, which in English means
"Smoke Of the World" They are used
for special festivals when great num-
bers Of Indians gather to celebrate
some religious or ritual festival. The
dishes are carved out of wood and
soups are brought to boiling point
by dropping hot stones into the food.
The carvings represent the clan to
which the dish belongs, which in one
Instance is the "Wolf" and In another

WOULD LINK EAST AND WEST
Proposal to Make the American Expe.
dictionary Force In China Prac.
IA ticaIly a Student Army.

Under the agreement entered into
between the powers and China follow
ing the Boxer uprising In 1900, the
United States government was per
mitted to keep an expeditionary force
of about 1000 men in China, says Mil.
lard's Review. This force is stationed
at Tientsin and Pekin, about 1900 men
being stationed at the former place
and the rest stationed as legation
guard In Pekin. 1t has now been pro-
posed to the American government at
Washington that the regular army
troops stationed at Tientsin be re-
called to America for service In France
and their places taken by contingent
of the same number of men who are
now In training in America at the vari-
Gus cantonments under the provisions
Of the selective draft. The idea orig
mated with Maj. Arthur Bassett, judge
advocate Of the army contingent at
Tientsin, and formerly United States
district attorney Of China. Under the
plan suggested by Major Bassett the
contingent of regular army troops now
In China should be returned to Ameri-
ca and sent to France, as the men de-
sire, and in their place the United
States government should send out
1900 men specially selected from the
standpoint Of education and training,
who would be available upon their re-
tirement from service in China to en-
gage in trade or other activities in
China and the far East. Major Bas-
sett would select the new men for serv-
ice In China largely from the great
group Of college graduates and stu
dents who have been drafted for serv-
ice in France. He would bring these
men to China and, in addition to their
regular army drill, he would have them
instructed in the Chinese language
and in the customs, history and tradi-
tions of the country; and at stated In
tervals he would have them make trips
into all parts of China for study and
investigation. In short, these 1,500
men would receive three years col
leSe course on China, SO that upon
their retirement from the service they
would be at liberty to engage in trade,
missionary, educational or any other
activity they desired in the far East,
or If they desired to return home they
would possess information regarding
China that would be Of the highest
value to China. The plan has been ap-
proved by the American chamber of
commerce and other organizations In
China and has been commended to the
state and war departments at Wash
ington. It is also certain that this
plan of a citizens student army In
China would be welcomed by China,
ftT 1t would be of the greatest possible
assistance In bringing about better
understanding and mutual interest be-
tween East and West, something very
necessary II the future peace Of the
world is to be maintained.

LEARN FINE ART OF RESTING

Rest is blessing laid up r6r the

Most tired folk have wasted much

be need of few hospitals, and if only
those who labored wisely rested there
would be no rest for the race this side

Pays to Keep a Toad.

The toad is useful because of its
diet. No less than eighty-three species
of insects, mostly injurious, have been
proved to enter into its dietary. In
his "Clvic Biology" George w. Hunter
says: "a tond has been observed to
snap up 1913 flies in half an hour. Thus
ut low estimate 1t could easily de-
stroy thousand insects during day,
and do an immense service to the gar
den during the summer. 1t has been
estimated by Kirkland that single
toad may, on account Of the cutworms
which 1t kills, be worth $19,SS each
season 1t lives, IL the damage done
by each cutworm be estimated at only
one cent. Toads also feed upon slugs
and other garden pests."-popular
