No. 22.

Sam was a small, sleek yellow pup
six months ago and was sold by the
log fancier with the guaranty that
he would not grow to weigh more than
25' pounds, and that he was most all
bulldog" But Sam grew to look like
a cross between an Airedale and 10
connective. He has big feet and big
body, and when he comes head on
look outl But that isn't the story.
Like almost all dogs Of the so-called
genus cur, Sam is almost the smartest
quadruped that ever ate bones. He
can sit up In the corner like Jack Hor-
ner he can cut n figure eight by walk
ing around his masters legs; he can
Jump on q chair and put his front feet
on the back and "say his prayers he
nan lie down and roll over; act like he
is going to cry when someone says:
Poor Sam, poor Saml" and he can do
lots of other things. He walked along
after q pedestrian the other day and
refused to come back until his master
went after him and scolded him Sc
verely, so that he would not forget.
Then the master promptly forgot the
matter.
Ten minutes later when he went out
INTO the kitchen, there sat Sam on the
chair In praying" attitude and the
tears were fairly streaming down his
cheeks Needless to say he was for
given Immediately and would have
wagged his tail. only it had been cut

Pay Up Now.

If you have SIS or more or less for
which you have no pressing need go
and pay a debt with it. That Is the
best use you can make OF money, I'M
less you are naked or starving. Now
Is the time to obey the Bible injunc,
ton, cove no man anything" That
is in the Bible, but from the way some
debtors spend money they don't seem
to know it or care for it. II they have
a dollar extra it goes for a pleasure
or a convenience. The duty to pay
some one they owe never occurs to
them. Nor does it occur to them that
every unsettled debt is drag on a
community. Everybody has to pay in
terest on it.
People have to pay more for their
sugar and coffee because other people
owe the grocer and won't pay. 1t Is
one of the items In the high cost of
living. And then there is a whole
some public policy in scattering the
money around. 1t will help find work
for some poor man and help some 9th
err debtor pay his debt. So pay up now

Indoor gardeners will be interested
IN watching this plant grow. 1t fol
.ows the plan Of the strawberry Ill
sending out runners and starting nev
growths at the end Of the stem. TIL
strawberry, however. has the earth t.
establish its new growths. This In
door plant sends out the runners crop
ing for earth where there is none. 1t
called the saXifrage.
1t is favorite plant for hanging bas
kets. A small tuft of leaves develop
at the end OF each vine. From thi
tuft other runners are sent out, ant
these in turn develop more tufts. B.
this method the saXifrage keeps on ex
panding until the basket is covered
with a network of vines and blanke

Ieatlna WoolAna.

Pure woolens are adulterated svsa
more than silk because they are p
greater demand and also because they
are quite easy to initiate. Many 4

Blankets sold as "half wool" have II
quently been found to contain only 10
per cent of pure wool There are ma
chimes today which cleverly wrap
wool around cotton threads, and tha
finished product has every appearance
Of being AL wool" Another method
Of adulterating is by taking cotton
cloth and Telling short weolea
threads upon its surface by means q
heat, moisture and pressure.
A purchaser may be fully convinced
from the appearance and feeling Of

safe method Is to take home the SAM

Peculiarities Of Electric Ray.

The electric ray is species of fish
found on the Pacific coast. 1t is known
from central California southwark to
Santa Barbara channel and is very
common in Monterey bay. This fish is
provided with an electric organ com
posed of hexagonal cells, reaching from
the skin of the upper surface to that
of the lower, and situated at each side
of the head and gill chambers. The
electricity discharged from this ray
has the properties of other electricity
such as rendering an iron bar mag.
netic. decomposing chemicals and pro
ducing a spark, says the American
Angler. Stories vary as to the vol
ume of the discharge, but even small
ray is capable of inflicting considerable
pain. After a few discharges the fish
becomes exhausted and must rest be
fore it's electric organs are again func-
uOnal.

Evolution Of the lamp.

Dr.. Walter Clark Of Philadelphia
has recently made some interesting in
vestigations to find out how the old
time lighting conditions in his city
compare with those of today, says the
Popular Science Monthly. He has dis
covered that until as late az 1885, only
pickering sperm oil and candles were
In use. Not until the following decade
did the highly improved" kerosene
lamp appear. Gas did not come out
until the period between 1855 and 1875.
And then only the wealthy could use
It. It sold at $3.50 per thousand cubic

came out ten years later, revolutioniz-
ing artificial illumination. The pres
emf era began In 1895. when gas and
electricity came into general use-gas
selling at 81 per thousand cubic feet
and electricity at 10 cents per kilo-
watt hour. Since that time the gas

Second base is called the pivot 20

first to second to first" and so on.
Records show teams strong on double

WHERE GREAT EMPEROR DIED
;longwood, the Prison House Of Napo.
leon, Is Maintained Much az
I He Knew II.

Longwood Old House, the prison
home Of Napoleon, is about four miles
from jamestown, the capital of st.
Helena. Dismally unattractive, the
place is in about the same condition
that it was in the emperor's time. A
low rambling one-st0ried farmhouse,
once the dwelling Of peasant farmer
Of the island, 1t is hard to connect the
place with the one-time master Of the
Tuileries and Versailles. But Long
wood has an air of romance and mys-
terry Of its own, for it was the death
place of Napoleon.
The house is badly lighted and I'll
ventilated. The rooms are tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the same
time. The reception room into which
the emperor was moved when dying, is
the pleasantest spot in the place. for
1t boasts of more than one window. 1t
was In the space between the two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today is bust of the emperor.
Visitors to Longwood sign the ancient
visitors book In this reception room.
while the aged guide tells the story OF
Napoleon's last days.
Above the first floor are the garnet
rooms, little more than cubby holes,
where former statesmen and marshals
of France lived during their exile with
their master. Outside is the tiny gar
den and the emperor's favorite arbor.
Here is the fishpool built by his own
hands. AT the foot of the plateau is
Geranium valley, and the emperor's
tomb. 1t was by Napoleon's own re-
quest that he was buried here. The
famous willow tree of fiction and his
tory still shadows the emperor's tomb.
In 1858 Queen Victoria presented
Longwood to Napoleon III, who re-
stored the old place TO the condition
in which the great emperor knew Ii.

TELEGRAM FROM Mr.. HOOVER
ABOUT THE CONSERVA-
TON OF MEAT

1.-THE Food Administration Is ex-
tremely DESTROYS OF securing economy
in consumption of all kinds Of meats
without reinstallauon Of meatless days
for the present.
Seasonal decline in. volume OF ami
mails coming to market Is now In prog
ross and its volume will undoubtedly
further decrease during the next few
months, as lie usual, but probably the
amount of such decrease is yet OBJ
seure.
THE necessities for shipment
abroad to our Army and Allies are
very large and amount to, roughly,
seyenty-hvs million pounds meat and
meat products Of all kinds per week
against pre-war normal Of less than
fifteen million pounds, Even with
these large shipments the Allies have
found It necessary to reduce con-
sumption Of ali kinds OF meats and
poultry to an average OF about one
and one-quartsr pounds per week per
person in order that no further draft
should be made upon shipping than is
now required for the transport of our
soldiers. Our consumption OF meats
Il about three and oneQuarter pounds
per week per person, and If We are to
make both ends balance during the
short marketing season, we must have
further economy.
IF the public will continue In rigor-
Gus elimination Of waste and shall
further economic by reducing the
quantity prepared for each meal Of
ell kinds of meats and poultry, more
particularly beef, and will restrict
their purchases accordingly, the Food
Administration hopes that the neces-
sary balance can be maintained.
GENERAL adherence to these recommen-
dations will avoid the inconvenience
which arises IN many directions from
meatless days and will cause less in
reference in daily preparation of food
There is now a seasonal abundance
q milk products, which can be well
substituted In various forms. Short

over last year unless absolute proof
can be given by ice companies as to
the necessity Any increase in price
over that of last season to the house
