Trapper, published at Columbus,
Ohio.

ground, preferably where there is
enough slope to insure good drain

is one that has just been vacated,

best method for the destruction of re-

In dealing with sting, your first
step should be it's removal with a
needle or small knife blade-having
first sterilized the instrument in boil
ing water or in the campfire blaze.
Next battle the wound with strong
solution of potassium permanganate.

To show how varied the pro-

club, it is but proper to state that
a company of players (white) un-
der the direction of Mr.. Robert
Bell, Chairman of the Committee
on entertainment, presented play
"Chums," to a packed audience
that went wild with delight at the
comical situations in the play.
Some women workers of the
younger set gave a dance at which
all the girls wore evening gowns.
The feature of the evening was
that every one had to take part,
aud although there were soldiers,
who, because Of their wounds
could not dance, yet each girl took
q boy by the arm and participated
IN a grand march. "
To add the jollity there have
been held an old fashioned taffy

were formed. Much merriment
was manifest. A tagging party
