GOOD MONEY FROM BAD EGG
Jim Buckley Finally Proved Truth Of
Saying That he Was Fond
Of Repeating.

"Thar amt nothin' in the world but
IL good fer somethin'" is one Of the
favorite sayings of Jim Buckley Of
Bear Lake.
Buckley is a thrifty soul. he farms
In summer and traps in winter and be-
tween wheat sAd furs he is growing
rich. One morning his wife was cook
ing breakfast. She broke a rotten egg
into a skillet and was starting toward
the door TO throw 1t away when Buck
ley stopped her.
Woman, don't throw that egg
away" said Buckley.
But it's rotten" protested his wife.

philosopher. THAR amt nothin' in the

James Buckley" exclaimed his
wife. I've heard that a thousand
times"
The wolf never Sniffs at the doors OF
the prosperous farmers of the Peace
river country. But foxes are different
animals-here is something you don't
know-rotten eggs are rated as an cpl
cureau tidbit In vulplne menus.
That night Buckley set a trap in
poplar grove near his home and baited
II With the rotten egg. He hoped to
catch red fox or perhaps q coyote.
But when he went out to his trap next
morning, what do you think he found?
The biggest silver fox Buckley ever
had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt
In Peace River the other day for SS4s.
"A right nice lot o. money to hatch
from rotten egg" remarked Buckley,
as he stuffed the money in his pocket.
I've alters allowed that thar amt
nothin' in the world but Is good fer
somsthin'."-Chicago Post.

HARVEST FESTIVALS OF OLD
Greeks and Romans Had Days Of
Thanksgiving for the Fruitful
Gifts of the Earth.

Greece, in the months of August and |
September of each year, after the har-
vest had been gathered, celebrated the
great feast known as the Eleusinia, or
the feast to Demeter of the beautiful
robe. Demeter, the great earth-moth-
err. was the goddess of cornfelds and
harvests. Her daughter, Persephone,
while gathering flowers one day. was
kidnapped by Pluto. Demeter searched
for her long by land and sea, and at
last learned that her lost daughter had
been married to Pluto, the dark spec
ter of the underworld, and that she
was now his queen in the realm be-
| low. But Persephone had eaten
pomegranate seed and could remain
with her mother only part of the year.
This made Demeter angry, and she left
the gods and made her dwelling upon
the earth. She taught Celeus, king OF
Eleusis, agriculture, how to pillow, SOW
and reap. This feast was one of the
grandest of the Greek festivals.
The Romans celebrated a harvest
festival called the Cerealia. 1t took
its name from Ceres, who was the
Demeter of the Romans, and the feast
was celebrated at some time In the
month of October. Sacrifices of the
best fruits and honey cakes were OF
fered up in the temple. Professions
were made to the fields by men and
women dressed in white and crowned
with oak leaves and peoples. Ceres
was represented In a chariot drawn
by dragons, her head crowned with Q
garland of corn ears, and holding 9
basket of peoples in her hand. This
festival was a general holiday time
Coming down to a more modern
time. we read of thanksgivings in Hol
land and in England, the recollection
of whose "harvest homes" perhaps
inspired the Puritans to inaugurate tn
custom in this country. The frs
Thanksgiving on American soil, &C
cording to the well credited chroniclel
Edward Winslow, was held In 1921, 1
months after the landing of the Pt
grims, when, the crops being garnereC
they felt spring up within their heart
feeling of praise and thanksgiving
It lasted almost week, and was pan
ticipated in by King Massasoit an
90 of his braves, who were Toasted an
entertained for three days, the new
corners showing their guests their PR
fciency in arms, experiences in wre'
Ting, etc. To show their prowess
turn, "the Indians went out and kille
Is five deer, which they brought to tn
plantation and bestowed on the go
ernor and upon Captain Miles Stands
n and others" a fine contribution to Il
feast.

IN THEIR MOVEMENT
Veteran of the Plains Explained Why
BuffaIoes Invariably Travelled on
Zig-Zag Course.

No person ever saw herd OF ouf-
faIO move in straight line. They al
ways took a zig-zag course. The late
Buffalo" Jones explained this as FOL
lows: ga buffalo is very cautious
animal. His shaggy forehead prevents
him seeing objects on either side. To
prevent a surprise from an enemy ne
walks obliquely to the right and then
TO the left, and thus gets an unob.
structed view of the surrounding coun'
try"
The buffalo had many small traits
that are lacking in cattle. The buffalo
never mired in swamps or pools as
cattle do. When they found they were
becoming stuck they threw themselves
on their sides and swan or padded
through the mud as hog does. They
always had guards out day and night
to warn the herd of approaching dan
ger. They always faced a storm anc
never "drifted," as do cattle. They
lay down with their heads to the
fiercest storms, tossing their heads
around on their sides and sleepint
contentedly, while the great mass o.
fur on their humps protected then
from the winds.

such as have never yet been known TO
other nations of the earth. Into the
churches at the usual hour the wor-
shippers will pour and from their doors,
when comes the end of praise and
song, will pass those worshipers again,
with loftier views and freer minds and
with their souls tuned to the senu-
ments that are expressed from all the
pulpits of the nation on the day on
which the people offer their thanks
to God.
