and the room where one has

It's beneath these roofs of kind

Where abides the strength and

The little homes of laughter, homes
the thousands know and

Where the mothers Groom at eve

And the fathers in their shirt $

Rates of r. r. in
Montana Cheaper

Helena, Mont, Oct. 25.-- Many
travelling men and others who use
railroads frequently in Montana are
buying tickets to points just with
in the boundary lines Of the state,
stopping over between trains and
buying new tickets-to destinations
outside the state.
The result has been to increase
sales of railroad tickets at all the
points in Montana for local hauls
and cut down the sales of tickets
outside of the state.

He had chosen that spot in the
center of the pond because there
was something a good deal like an
island there - only it did not rise
quite out of the water. good'
firm place on which to set MS
house - Brownie Beaver consid-
cred it.
While he was building his house
Brownie gathered his winters food
at the same time. Anyone might
think he would have found it diff
cult to do two things at once like
that. But while he was cutting
sticks to build his new house 1t was
no great trouble to peel the bark
off them. The bark, you know,
was what Brownie Beaver always
ate. And when he cut sticks for
his house there was only one thing
about which he had to be careful;
he had to be particular to use only
certain kinds of wood. Poplar
cottonwood, or willow; birch, elm
box elder or aspen - those were
the trees which bore bark that he
liked. But if he had cut down a
hickory or an ash or an oak tree
he wouldn't have been able to get
any food from them at all because
the bark was not the sort he cared
for. That was lucky, in a way,
because the wood of those trees
was very hard and Brownie would
have had much more work cutting
them down.
A good many of Brownie Beav-
'er's neighbors thought he was fool
ish to go to the trouble of building
a new house, when there were old
ones to be had, And there was
lazy fellow called Tired Tim who
laughed openly at Brownie.
'AWhen you're older you'll know
better than to work like that"
Tired Tim told him. ':'Why don't
you do the way | did?" he asked
