"Horsesp said the Yankee soldier
off duty in France. "Guess you can't
talk to me about horses. I had an
old mare, Maizypop, who once licked
our best express by a couple Of
miles on a 30-mile run to Chicago"
''That's nothing" said the Cana
dian, with whom he was swapping
yarns. II was out on my farm one
day, about fifty miles from the
house, when frightful storm came
up. turned the pony's head for
home, and, do you know, he raced
the storm SO close for the last ten
miles that 1 didn't feel a drop, while
my dog, only ten yards behind, had
to swim the whole distance"

PAYS TO GROW BLACK WALNUT
Once Planted, Tree Takes Car Of Il,
self, and Can Be Held Until the
Price 10 Attractive.

A black walnut tree once planted
will take care of itself. It needs no
pruning or spraying. Furthermore,
the product is not perishable and can
be kept and shipped when and where
the prices are the highest. In rs
years the tree is easily worth 5000
to $500 for timber alone. With the
strong interest in the airplane indus
try and the great boom bound to fol-
low at the conclusion of this present
war, the planter Of black walnuts
will reap a fortune, for his wood is
absolutely essential. For the prac.
teal side, a we'll cared-for orchard
of black walnuts at the age Of ten
years is estimated to give q gross re-
turn Of 5000 and a net yield Of 80
per cent Of this. From that time on
the production increases by leaps
and bounds.
The black walnut is a beautiful
tree as well as productive one and
makes . striking effect along ave-
nues, driyeways or as q single sPeci-
men in the home grounds, under
which the entire family will enjoy
gathering and eating the rich nu-
tritious nuts.-John g.. Mayo.

READY FOR ACTION.

A newly commissioned ensign was
officer Of the day and was testing the
sentries. It was raining and one Of
the guards had placed his belt and
revolver under his pea coat. The
ensign proceeded to bawl him out in
proper military style and wound up
by saying: "You're fine guard
What would you have done had I
been an enemy in disguise and had
grabbed you by the throat-like
this?" and he gripped the guards
neck with his hands.
Il would have said, Hands up "
said the sentry as he placed the muz-
zle Of the ensign's revolver under the
officers own chin.
While the officer had been lectur-
ing the recruit the rookie, who had
served his time with the Texas
rangers, had quietly ffrisked" the
ensign's gun from his belt and was
ready for action.

HAD PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT
Aviator Behind the German Lines
With His Motor Dead Knows Ex.
aetly What Thrills Are Like.

"The most exciting work in the
way of flying" remarked a we'll
known American aviator, els not al
ways in battle with a German plane.
The job Of flying only SO or go feet
above enemy infantry and machine
guns in an offensive is the most
nerye-racking Of them all, unless
your motor stops when you are back
Of German lines. l had that happen
to me once, and once is enough.
II was we'll back in German terri
tory when I saw my machine was in
trouble and it was. a matter Of luck
whether 1 could drift back again to
safe ground. Those were the longest
minutes Of my life. l seemed to be
standing still, making no progress at
all except downward.
CATER what seemed to be q year
OF SO, finally glided back across the
German front lines and was lucky
enough to drop in a field with sew

moments carried far more excite
ment for me than I have ever known

WORKS OF ART NAY Be LOST
Fear Tor Priceless Treasures That
Were In the Famous Hermitage
Gallery at Petrosrad.

Before the fires that were spread
by the bolehevists through the city,
the famous Hermitage gallery, in
the Winter palace in Petrograd,
housed one Of the finest collections
of art treasures in the world. How
much, if any of the collection, SUR
vived the flames is not known. It 10
said that many Of the pictures were
removed months ago to the krenlin
at Moscow. But that building has
been bombarded, and there is but lit
tie chance that any Of the master
pieces escaped.
The Hermitage gallery owes its
inception to that unusually enlight-
ened monarch, Catherine II, who
purchased several valuable collec-
lions in 1771 to form the nucleus of
a state gallery. Catherine II was a
real lover and patron Of the arts and
bought the rich collection Of Sir
Robert Walpole, as well as other for
eign ones. Some of the Teniers and
Paul Potters we're unique. From the
private gallery of William II of the
Netherlands a remarkable collection
Of Dutch artists was gathered. But
in all the gallery the most priceless
treasures were the "Adoration of the
Magi," by Botticelli, triptych Of
Perugino, three Raphaels, and that
wonderfully beautiful "Judith With
the Head Of Holofernes" Of Gior.
gione. There were in addition some
fine specimens Of Titians and later
Velasquez.

an obscure small-town man, with

the day Of trial came upon Britain;
on his shoulders fell the burden,

$>s ,ss: SAVING THE LAST LOes

From Grand Rapids Heral Review y
A 95-years period of activity i'm, the
numbering industry was brought to a
close last wee in Minneapolis, when
the east side mills of the Northland
Pine company sawed the last log
which will ever be foated down the
Mississippi and announced that it
would cease to be producer Of lum-
ber in the Twin Cities. The last
drive passed through Grand Rapids
two years ago this summer and the
booms sticks were taken along,
bringing to an end the river feature
Of the lumber industry on the up
per Mississippi. The Northland
Pine Company, although it will saw
no more logs, still has a large supply
on hand and will supply demands of
the trade for another year or two.
The saw mill industry has now
moved north and the greatest mills
are at Virginia, Cloquet, Bemidji and
International Falls.

PROTECT MINNEsoTA's BEAUTY.

From St. Paul Pioneer Press
Every year Minnesota is being looked
to more and more as the paradise of
vacationists. Every year it's clear
lakes, swarming with fish, and it's
forests Of pine and hardwood are
being sought by increasing thousands
for the pleasure and refreshment
they afford people from the cities
and the commoner regions which
possess no such advantages.
What desertion of it's trust and
it's birthright, what an abandonment
of everything that is far-sighted and
civilized, then, would be the failure
of the state to protect this region of
beauty from the lumber slasher and
the forest destroyer!
State Auditor Preus is the father
of a proposition Incorporated in a
bill providing for the protection of
the shores of more than 1000 lakes
in the state through the purchase of
shore-line property or exchange for
state timber more obscurely located.
There have been billions of dollars
of profit-taking from the state of
Minnesota and only feeble efforts
here and there to preserve its treas
ures of romance and beauty. It is
about time we were beginning to
appreciate this heritage and spare
from our heads the righteous wrath
of posterity which will be upon them
if we leave to our heirs but an ugly
ruin of natures splendor which it
was ours to cherish and preserve.
