Tony shannon has come ] hack to civilization. the first of the Stcfansson party. that set out three years ago, to arrive in safety from the fearful and perilOus expedition to thc Victoria islands, says a San Fran. cisco dispatch The imagination fails i before the flaming picture of tragedy ! of solation, of hardship. sketched by i the prospectdr.
 i Loneliness that drove some to mad 1 ness and others to suicide stalked this waste of snow. where the only com. panions for the small group of white ! men were a primitive and unknown tribe of Eskimos. For months the light gleamcd for but two hours d day shannon saw humanity in the raw on that ice desert in the Arctic. thousands of miles north of Point Bar TOW. the farthermOst point in Alaska owned by the United States.
 With the prospeCtor came little Eriszenia Tuktook, an Eskimo child of To- adopted by Shannon Behind that peculiar transaction is a story that throws a tender light on the bleak | life of the North.
 ErisZenia was one of the few chil- dren taken on that trail through the 1 snow. Her father. Charles Peepsuk. i an Eskimo trappor. took the little girl with him wherever he went From ! thc moment she first met the white haired, gentlc-cyed American she called him grandpa" All over the camp she followed him One day Peep native and the prospector strong fr.enGship had grown.
 Something is going to happen to me Will you take care of the little onp?"
 IL was the rivalry of other tribes that Peepsuk feared It was the men, ace of the Arctic that overtQ9k him. | Not a month after shannon had given his promise the trapper was out in his kyak. near the Barter islands. The skin overturned. He was swallowed without even struggle in the whirl- pool. The first thing that shannon did when he reached Point Barrow was to take out legal papers giving him the guardianship of the little girl
 The next thing was to buy up all the papers and read the war news We had not even heard of the sink ing Of the Lusitania But we knew the United States could not keep out of the struggle. We heard of America's part just month before the armis- ticc was signed.

Spring dresses for little girls r
abundantly displayed just now and all
women appear to enjoy looking at
them. Surely she who has no interest
in any little one is missing something
that belongs to her; for these little
dresses bring a smile and a lingering
look to all eyes.
Cottons as fine and smooth as those
woven in French looms, and enticlng
%colors, gay and soft, make the sections
of stores where the dresses are shown
as bright as spring gardens. These
fine cottons are the product of Ameri-
can looms and these lovely colors show
how great an advance has been made
in the manufacture of American dyes,
the great war having compelled us to
rely upon ourselves for dyestuffs, we
may become entirely independent Of
other countries.

Grandma Gregory futtered and fuss

handsome compliment. The girls
crowded around to view the contents
of the box she unpacked.
"Oh, dearl it's too lovely, Mr.. Al

eyes were suffused with tears, while
those about them set up q babel of
commentator and due appreciation Of
the pretty gift.

It was Grandma Gregory's seven
tieth birthday and the ambitious, bust
ling old lady arose early and sat up
late to duly celebrate the occasion. All
day long her favorite niece, Alma Win
loved Alma, half a dozen of her c1oseat
ichums brought presents to her aged
relative and gave Grandma Gregory
what she called the happiest, merriest
time of her whole life.
With eventide every pretty lass mad
a beau and Alma two of them. Ar
thur Gourley came first. He was a
good deal of a fop and sometimes Alma
made fun of him. He was well mean
ling, however, and Alma could not help
but feel tender towards him when he
presented her grandmother with a
lovely bunch of American beauty
roses.
No one ever made fun of Bryce Al
den, however. He was one of the de-
pendable ones, rather too sedate, some
of the flighty maids said, but when sys-
TEN and order came in as elements in
their pleasures or duties Bryce Alden
was the burden bearer. He was a
great favorite Of Grandma Gregory.
On the present occasion he made her
his ardent friend for life.
'Im a practical sort of a being, Mrs.
Gregory" he told her, land I heard

your share of work along years, you

Inventor of Combined Harvester.

Samuel Davis of McWinnville, Ore,
was the inventor of the combined har-
yester, according to the Denver Field
and Farm. The original machine,
which has since r%evolutionized farm
ing operations, was built on his farm
in 1852, and he operated it there for
several seasons California has claim
ed the invention of the combined har-
vester, but 1t is simply the Davis ma
chine to which the Californians gave
popularity. The first machine was
not so primitive as one might imag-
Inc. for it did the work well and sat-
isfactorily, and it was not an unusual
thing for the Davis machine to cut
and thrash from 1,200 to 1900 BUSH

softer. 1t is shown in light yellow, me-
dunn shade of blue and two or three
pink tones. There is a shocked panel
between plaits at the front and back
and collar and cuffs Of white cotton,
with buttonholed scallops on the edges.
Any of the heavier weaves of cotton
will serve for these.
Patterns for dresses very like these
are to be had of any of the standard
pattern companies. Mothers select the
plainest me and make up quantities
of ginghams for play dresses. The
Peter Pan dress is not for such hard
wear; 1t has more needlework on 1t
and Is not so easily Numbered. 1t may
survive several dinner times, or visits,
or trips to Sunday school before it
must be consigned to the tub. And 1t
may be depended on to emerge as good
as new-as fresh and sweet as 1t
should be for so sweet a wearer.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: 81 am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when |
was a child. When any Of us child
rem complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Blacl-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved us lots Of
doctor bills. Just dose of BlacE-
Draught when not SO well saves a
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys is proof of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etcs
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed
