asked, "She sure did that is" but
he got no further, for the old man in

An hour later Julia's voice rang out
In greeting over an intervening pile

Don't you imagine, young lady" he
began protestingly, that I've quit the
job you gave me, following that trail.
But the old lady's beans had the last
stick of wood under them and the old
boy took me for a woodchopper-so
what could l do? l just got held up.
But I'm going trail hunting again,
pretty quick. Unless you want to take

And the girl, still standing on the

Worlds Highest Village.

The little village of Karzok in Kash-
mir is said by a writer in ~L'Astronomie
to be the highest in the world. Its
altitude is 1896 feet. The buildings
consist of a few wretched stone houses
and a small Buddhist monastery.
KaShmir is the most nOrtherly state of
India and lies wholly in the Himalaya
mountains. Not far from its eastern
border is Mt, Everest, the loftiest peak,
so far as known, in the world.

Stern Critic of Education.

The teacher had sent numerous
notes in vain enueaVor to get Johnny
bathed and cleaned up. There was
no reply and no visible improvement
in the boys appearance, until at last
the mother, driven to desperation,
sent the teacher a long letter saying,
among other things: What is 1t to
the teachers whether the children in
their schools have a bath once a day,
or once a week, or once a month, or
once a year? They are washing the
sap all out of the children, and that
is how so much tuberculosis gets
started"

The Dark Aoes

The dark ages vas a period of about
six hundred years in European history,
commencing with the fall of the west
ern Roman empire (476 A. d. and
continuing until the close of the elev-
enth century Q1OO A. d. The dark
ages comprised the first twO-thirds
of the middle ages and were character
lied by extreme intellectual apathy
and gross religious superstition. The
sway of the church was universal, and
learning was at its lowest ebb.-Kan-
sas City Star.

Don't Read When proWsy.

To read or study when tired or
drowsy is to strain the eyes to a dan
gerous degree, writes w. NJ. Carhart
in Public Health. Avoid evening
study whenever possible. If you are
using your eyes by artificial light, be
sure the light does not shine directly
into the eyes, and try to have it come
from behind and to the left side so as
to avoid the harmful glare.

Waterproof Soles.

If shoes are much worn in the damp
without overshoes the soles should be
interpreted. Most shoe dealers car
nv a preparation for the purpose, or
a two-to-one mixture of melted NUT
ton tallow and. rosin may be applied
at home. You will find that the soles
do not only defy water after such treat
ment, but wear longer.

Fox Suuirrel's Nests.

In the South, instead of living in
the hollow trees, the fox squirrels build
big nests in the tops of the pine and
other trees, usually of Spanish moss,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
In these they sleep, also carrying to
them the pine cones. In the hardwood
forests of the North, dry leaves take
the place Of the Spanish moss, and a
conspicuous nest is built with an en-
trance hole at the side.

Good Old Vegetable Standby.

The faithful potato sprang up in
various parts of South America. Peru
undoubtedly had it before the Chris
tian era. The Spaniards found it in
Ecuador and took it TO Spain, whence
it travelled to Italy and north to France
and Belgium, crossing the channel in
time to I've Ireland from many a
hard winter. Our own Indians knew
it not, maize being their long suit in
the food game.

Service.O Q
CHICAGO, June S.-The news of the
convention is that Johnson meeting at
the auditorium last night.
The meeting was important because
both johnson and Borah. the latter talk
ing very plain and disagreeable English
for the ivory soap eaters of the repQb-
lican party made 1t clear, as both put 1t,
that the republican party has once more
come to a parting of the ways"
The question is not. how can ve get
rid of Johnson?" hut how can the re-
publican party hold the position that 1t
has held for sixty years, since the day
when Lincoln, who refused any kind OF
COMPROMISE, laid the corner stone OF the
republican party Of today"
Those that believe in the ability Of the
people to manage their own affairs would
have been delighted with Hiram John
sons appearance and the extraordinary
reception accorded him. He talked as
plainly and simply as any man talking
to his children or his neighbors.
johnson said he thought that the peo-
pie should decide for themselves the i'm
portant question raised by the league Of
nations proposition, whether Americans
should be drafted TO settle, on the battle
nelu, questions dDouL eto4au anu No~
manian boundaries.
He said he knew that a coterie Of Wall
street bankers were quite willing to settle
all such questions for the people, but he
thought 1t better for the people TO DO
their own deciding.
After johnson finished talking in the
great hall be went out to see and talk 10
the huge crowds that blocked traffic in
all directions around the meeting hall.
Then Senator Borah spoke and in some
way the people of this country ought to
show their gratitude TO Borah. who
started the investigation in the senate
and exposed the scheme to sell the presi-
dency to the highest bidder
The enthusiasm for Borah was as great
as for Johnson. and the people should be
