except his father, who lived in another
town and who is fond of joke.
One day we received word that he
would arrive on certain train, so
several Of my husbands relatives went
with us to meet him. While waiting
one of them suggested that they point
him out to me and that I should meet
him alone.
When the train arrived they saw
him and told me he was wearing a
gray overcoat and soft hat. I, think

out, threw both arms around him.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

CCT TEIGH-Ho" cried little
Puss Junior, merriIy
4 i starting out one hne
morning on his journey of adven-
ture. And, by and by, after q
while, he came to a wood.
sylvia, sweet as morning air,
De not drive me to despair;
Long have I sighed in vain.
Now I am come again.
Will'you be mine or no, no-a-no-
VIII you be mine or no?'
sang a sweet voice.
There knelt Simple Simon before
Sylvia, who frowned and said:
Simon, pray, leave OFF your suit,
For of your counting you1I bear no
fruit:
I would rather give a crown
Than be married to a clown.
Go for a BOBBY, go, go-a-go-
Cor for a BOBBY, 60"
Then Simple Simon turned sor-
rowly away and he was so sad
that he walked with his head down
cast and so almost ran into Puss
Junior.
Cheer up, Simon" cried Puss.
Love is blind, so I'll pardon your
running into me-"
'Ha, ha!" laughed Sylvia, you
are a bright little cat"'
Let me tell you both a story"
said Puss Junior.
Tell one OF your adventures"
said Sylvia, seating herself on a
fallen tree.
well, I'll tell you about the man
who scratched out both his eyes,
the Bramble-Bush Man, you know.
IL was the day rode home on my
good gray horse with the farmers
daughter so rosy and fair We
stopped at his house to ask him
where my father lived.
You see, it was the time I was
hunting for my dear father. Every
body called the man a wise man, so
I thought he could tell me. But he
couldn't In fact, he said he con-
sidered himself a very FOOLISH man
ever to have jumped into the BRAN
BILE bush, and scratched out both his
eyes, and that il was a wonder he
had had enough sense TO jump into
another bush and scratch them in
again. Now the moral of this little
story to you, my dear Simon, is
this:
You have fallen in love with
Sylvia: you have jumped into a
bramble bush of love and scratched
out both your eyes, for Sylvia does
not love you; and IL one is not
loved in return, love is certainly a
bramble bush.
Now, my advice to you is to fall
in love with another girl and get
back your eyes," And then Pusss
Junior stood up and twisted his
mustaches, and after that he bowed
very low and continued on mis- way.
But I don't know TO this day wheth-
er Simple Simon took Puss Juniors
advice or not.

The Searchlight Explained

moved the most powerful search
. light beam would be entirely in
visible, although it would illuminate
any object against which it was
thrown, even more brilliantly than
if the air were present, because
none of the light would be absorbed,
or diffused, on the way from the
source to the target. On the moon,
for instance, a searchlight would be
very effective in Illuminating any
object toward which it was aimed.
but it would show no shaft, or
beam, of light.
The principle on which a search
light is constructed is a very in
teresting one.
II some malignant demon should
choose to amuse himself with a
little bonfire in space he could
burn the earth up by simply APP
plying this principle to the sun,
concentrating the rays from the
greater part of its disk into a
parallel, or a convergent beam
and focusing that beam upon our
planet. The long beam, $4,000, 900
miles in length. would be utterly
invisible to the inhabitants of other
planets, who would be amazed to
see the earth suddenly kindle and
burn without any apparent reason.
In consequence of the divergence
Of the rays proceeding in all di-
rections from the spherical sur
face of the sun, the earth actual
ly receives less than one two
thousand-millionth part of the heat
that the sun scatters in space all
around at the earth's distance.
In consequence of this apparent
waste Of mighty energies, some
persons from whom I receive let
tiers are unable to believe that the
sun really does send its radiations
in every direction, radially from
its surface. They prefer to think
that the rays of the sun go only
to its planets and not to empty
space where there are no planets
to receive them.
This would certainly be an in
comparably more economical ar
rangement, and one peculiarly ap-
pealing to the business mind" but
Nature seems to ignore all our
ideas OF business and economy
unless the fact be that we have no
conceptions Of her real objects. We
begin in all such reasonings with
the enormous assumption that we,
and the things that we can COM
prehend, and which directly con-
Germ US, are, or should be, the
sole objects OF her care.
She plainly rebukes that as
sumption every day OF our lives
by paying not the slightest atten-
ton to our desires and interests,
but going straight ahead along her
own incomprehensible way, and
yet we seldom or never learn the
lesson she thus conveys, or even
perceive that there is a lesson to
be learned.
Perhaps it is far more important
to the sun, or to the guiding intel
ligence behind the sun. that his
rays should reach his distant and
innumerable fellow suns, the stars,
than that they should illuminate
and warm, for a few brief years.

The commercial club are plan
ming to have great home coming
celebration for the returned soldiers
of the county in connection with a
fourth of July celebration. One of
the particularly attractive features
Of this fete will be the engagement
of the 147th regiment band, rec
ognized as one of the great military
bands of the country, the band
which was with the South Dakota
artillery regiment on the French
front last year-has been secured
for the occasion. A fine speaker
will be engaged for a public ad-
dress, and the whole affair will be
in honor of the soldiers Of the
world war, who will nearly all have
returned by that time. It is the
desire of the committee to make
the affair not Milbank celebration
but a great home coming celebra-
tion. The boys are all glad to get
back, and we are all glad to have
them back with US, and we want to
show them that we are.

Expert Finds Vast Possibilities Exist
In Li0nite Fields.

One third Of the total fuel re-
sources OF the United States lies
undisturbed in the great Ignite
fields Of the northwest declared @.
p Hood. chief mechanical engineer
of the United States bureau Of
mines. Washington D. c., reached
St. Pau! last week after three
weeks inspection of the Ignite
districts Of North and South Dakota
and eastern Montana. Mr.. Hood
and party of engineers sent out
by Van H. Manning, secretary of
the bureau of mines. have been
seeking a location for a semi-ex-
perimenta plan for extracting by
products from Ignite and making
the residue into briquettes for heat
ing use.
1t is not the intention Of the gov
ernment at this time to erect and
operate plant CONNER cially, but
rather to cooperate with private
business interests which may desire
to enter the field The bureau Of
mines will give all the technical aid
at its command to assist such an
enterp'i Use. This work has been
started under the direction Of
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior.
Ignite is substance between
peat and sub-bituminous coal in
quality. When reduced by pro-
cess similar to that employed in
producing coke, valuable oil and
gas are. obtained as by.products.
The northwest should wake up
to the value of this great source of
fuel supply in the Dakotas and
eastern Montana. said Mr.. Hood.
Eventually this part of the country
is certain to employ Ignite in place
of the anthracite it now hauls all
the way from Pennsylvania. This
may be long way off. but the con-
dition will surely arrive"
Mr.. Hood will go to Chicago to-
morrow and from there he will re-
turn to Washington. Af:er study
ing the report Of other engineers
who have been engaged in the in
vestigation, recommendations for
government CO operation in the
founding of Ignite reducing
plant probably will be made.
