Well" said Sir David Duck, wears
and years ago whenever it rained hard,
folks used to say, Fine weather for
ducks! That was such compliment
to us, for it showed us that there was
weather just for US and that folks
were willing to have the rain so that
1t could be fine for us. OF course, we
like the rain and SO the rain is fine
weather for us. We adore the water.
and rain is water.
well, the family has always been
proud to think that there was such a
thing as special weather for ducks,
and that when people went out on
such days they knew perfectly we'll
that the weather was our weather and
not theirs. We've been a little bit
afraid that perhaps things might have
changed. One never can tell. But
today we heard great many people
who are visiting the farm because
there is tea party being given there),
and they all said the same thing.
swell, now we know that we're still
the creatures who have the rainy days
made especially for them. Yes, we're
very proud"
"You don't suppose" said Red Top,
shat folks say that because they can't
stand the rainy weather, and they
think that it is only fit for ducks?"
II don't suppose that" said Sir
David, "for feel they mean that such
weather is our special weather, owDed

Cross, the superintendent, is busy
with force of two trucks and a
team and number Of helpers UNI
loading and placing the same on the
site of the first test well, about forty
rods north of the Junction. The out
fit is standard make and was Sc
cured at Marion, Kans., where it was
used in drilling two dry holes at
about the depth that is likely to be
used here. The outfit cost something
like ten thousand dollars and when
new would have cost more than
double that amount. There are two
carloads of casing on the way and
they are expected almost daily. This
will be ample piping to go down over
1900 feet and the cost of this alone
was close to $4,000. The freight on
the drilling outfit was over $500 and
is likely to be about the same on the
casing.

I, Hopefulness is not necessarily OPP
posed to common sense. The girl who
insists that she will pass her examina-
ton without difficulty, while she goes
on day after day neglecting her stud
les, is not hopeful 80 much as fool
hardy.
Hopefulness should be cultivated but
1t is not necessary to shut ones eyes
to the facts. Hopefulness is an ad-
vantage while blindness is a mis-
fortune. Learn to see things as they
are, and to take tie optimistic view.
