BROUGHT MEMORIES OF HOME
How Visitor to London Geological Gar
dens Held Converse With Lonely
Tibetan Yak.

The shaggy old Tibetan yak at the
yak occupied his shed and Enclosure.
Yesterday a visitor stood watching
the yak munching at truss of hay 10
his manger. He called the yak and IL
took no notice. Then, having read
Hooker's "Himalayan Journals" he re-
membered the calls of the Tibetan
maidens when they bring the yaks
home at sunset.
The visitor uttered the call. The yak
dropped mouthful of hay, gave q
deep grunt, ana came stumbling to
the bars of its stable. The visitor pat
ted and fondled it, and grunted yak
language and 1t licked his hand. and
when he left the yak house it ran out
of its shed and followed him around
its large barred Enclosure.
He returned later and found the yak
still restless. 1t had deserted its meal +:
It paced the Enclosure and made plain
tive noises. The visitor gave the Tibe-
tan girls call again, and again the yak
ran to him. 'Good heavens!" cried q
stranger. 'how do yc'n tame ZOO ami
mails like that?" He was told the Sc
cret. ---~--'" '--.> "'--@-

the stranger. "How can we guess what

Safety First.

Fresh eggs were retailing at about
81 a dOzell the day we met a nice old
man on a country road and narrowly
missed running him down. AS our
fender grazed him we were Mortified 10
see the big box he was carrying slip
from under his arm and a deluge Of
priceless eggs scatter over the road.
1t seemed sure case of bankruptcy
for'us as we backed to where he stood,
but we found him smiling.
"Come pretty close that time" he
remarked, "but that's all right. No
harm done. Them eggs are hard boiled.
and I'm jest takin' 'em to the country

day, when l was quite ignorant of the
fact that Colonel Pennington controls
the Sequoia Bank of Commerce, l
drifted in on the president and casual

the bank will advance me the money
to meet It,"
Bruce, I am amazed"
II am not-since you tell me Colo
mel Pennington controls that bank.
That the bank should accommodate
us is the most natural procedure i'm
aginable. Pennington is only playing
l co hi ah fcy x,.hxx
TO give me the money in a lump sum.
If we run q night shift, Pennington
knows that we can't dispose of our
excess output under present market
conditions. It's a safe bet our lum-
Der is going to pile up on the mill
dock; hence. when the smash comes
and the SequOia Bank of Commerce
calls our loan and we cannot possibly
meet it, the lumber on hand will prove
security for the loan, will 1t not? In
fact, it will be worth two or three dol
lars per thousand more then than 1t
is now, because 1t will be air-dried."
"But what idea have you got back
of such a procedure, Bryce?"
Merely a forlorn hope, dad. Some
thing might turn up. The market may
take a sudden squirt and go up three
or four dollars. And whether the mar
ket goes up or comes down, it costs us
nothing to make the experiment"
"Quite true" his father agreed.
"Then. If you'll come down to the
Office tomorrow morning, dad, we1l
hold a meeting of our board of direc-
tors and authorize me as president of
the company to sign the note to the
bank. We're borrowing this without
collateral, you know"
John Cardigan entered no further
objection. ard the following day the
agreement was entered into with the
bank. Bryce closed by wire for the
extra logging equipment and imme-
iiately set about rounding up crew
for the woods and for the night shift

Bryce was relieved. His father did

THE RANGERS LIFE


Nights that are spent in the open,
Under the whispering trees;
Slu,nber that's sweet and dreamless-
Lulabys sung by the breeze.
Walked by the first red sunbeam
Unto no day of strife
Walked to day Of pleasure
Such is the rangers lie.
Over paths fecked with sunshine,
Thread the tree-lined ways;
Fording snow-born streamlet
There where the Big trout plays;
Surprising the elk at the dawning,
The bear at his clumsy play
Feeling the heartbeat Of Nature
Such is the rangers day.
Think you the city can call him?
What charm has the marketplace?
Why should he turn from the mountains,
Inviting from peal. to base?
Towns bat to dream of at even,
When camp FIRE smoke curls high.
So lives the forest ranger
Under the western sky.

Something of energy, something of ease;

Shadow that shelters the foolish and wise;
Patience that bows meath all winds of the skies.

Dignity-symbo of honor and power;
Beauty that blooms in the ultimate fower

THE LEAVES DO NOT MIND AT ALL
The leaves do not mind at all
That they must fall.
When summertime is gone,
1t is pleasant to put on
A travelling coat of brown and gray
And fly away,
Past the barn and past the school,
Past the noisy little pool
1t used to hear but could not see.
Oh, it is joy to be
A leaf-and freet
To be swiftly the wing
Like a bird adventuring.
And then, tired out, to creep
Under some friendly rail and go to sleep;
The leaves do not mind at all
That they must fall.
