threw a sheepskin over his back and

This was great delight to the little
lad.

the Black River country, toward

had gone far out of their way for a

Samson's diary tells how, at the top
Of the long, steep hills he used to
cut small tree by the roadside and
tie its butt to the rear axle and hang
on to Its branches while his wife
drove the team. This held their
load, making an effective brake.

they had been doing for weeks, while
the day waned, they looked for a

ECILY. though used interchange

pendent name with an interesting
history. She comes, Of course, from
the great Caecilian gems which, curl

Gala Caecilia is said to have been the
real name of the model Roman ma
tron, patroness Of all other matrons,
whose tomb is famous throughout
Italy.
Another famous Caecilia was the
Christian martyr, whose body was dis.

N the rude plank bridge that
crossed the river. Odors Of baisam
and pine and tamarack came In .
light, cecil breeze UP the river valley.
II guess. wen stop at this tavern
till tomorrow" said Samson. ~
Joe was asleep and they laid him
on the blankets until supper was
ready.
Soon after supper Samson shot
deer which had waded into the rapids.
Fortunately, 1t made the opposite
shore before 1t fell. All hands spent
that evening dressing the deer and
Jerking the best Of the meat. This
they did by cutting the meat into
strips about the size Of a mans hand
and sailing and laying it on q rack.
some two feet above q slow fire, and
covering 1t with green boughs. The
heat and smoke dried the meat In
the course of two or three hours and
gave 1t fine flavor. Delicious b.
yond any kind of meat is venison
treated in this manner. II kept dry,
1t will retain its flavor and its sweet
ness for a month or more
They set out rather late next morn
Ing. AS usual, Joe stood by the head
Of Colonel while. the latter Tapped
brown sugar from the timid palm Of
the boy. Then the horse was wont to
touch the face of Joe with his big,
hairy lips rs 4 tribute to his generos-
lily. Colonel had seemed to acquire
singular attachment for the boy
and the dog, while Pete distrusted
both of them. He had never a mo-
ment's leisure, anyhow, being always
busy with his work or the flies. A
few breaks In the pack basket had
been repaired with green withes. 1t
creaked with its load Of jerked veni-
son when put aboard. -.-..
Farther on the boy got sore throat.
Sarah bound a slice Of pork around
1t and Samson built camp by the
roadside, in which, after good fire
was started, they gave him a hemlock
sweat. This they did by sleeping
hemlock in pals Of hot water and,
while the patient sat In 4 chair by
tuc -IireSlue, u Dlduket WIS SpTedu
about him and pinned close to his
neck. Under the blanket they put
the pals of steaming hemlock tea.
After his sweat and a day and night
In bed, with a warm fire burning in
front of the shanty, Joe was able
to resume his seat in the wagon. They
spoke of the Brimsteads and thought
1t strange that they had not come
along. ..s--.-.
On the twenty-ninth day after their
journey began they came in sight Of
the beautiful green valley of the Mo
hawk. AS they looked from the hills
they saw the roof Of the forest dip
ping down to the river shores and
stretching far to the east and west
and broken, here and there, by small
clearings. Soon they could see the
smoke and spires of the thriving vii
lage of Utica.

top o. this one, you could probably
make living. wouldn't like to live
where the wind could dig my pota-
toes"
Again the stranger leaned toward
Samson and said In half-wbisper !:
Say, mister, 1 wouldn't want you
to mention. 1t. but talkin' o feas. I'm
like a dog with 40 many Of 'em that
he don't have time to eat. Some.
body has got to soap him or he'll die.
You see, traded my farm over in
Vermont for five hundred acres o
this sheet lightnln'. unsighted an un-
seen. We was all crazy to 90 west

tethered, fed and watered their horses
and while Sarah and the children
built fire and made tea and biscuits,
he was getting bait and catching fish
in the stream.
I'm few minutes from the time l
wet my hook mess of trout would be
dressed and sizzling, with a piece of
salt pork, in the pan, or it was bad
day for fishing" he writes.
After supper the wagon was partly
unloaded. the feather bed laid upon
the planks under the wagon roof and
spread with blankets. Then Samson
sang songs and told stories or played
upon the violin to amuse the family
Often II the others Were weary and
depressed he would dance merrily
around the fire, playing lively tune,
with Sambo glad to lend helping
foot and much noise to the program
BY and by the violin was put away
and all knelt by the fire while Sarah
prayed aloud for protection through
the night. So 1t will be seen that
they carried with them their own
little theater, church and hotel.
Soon after darkness fell, Sarah
and the children lay down for the
night, while Samson stretched out
with his blanket by the fire in good
weather, the loaded musket and the
dog Sambo lying beside him. Often
the bowling of wolves in the distan,
forest kept them awake, and the dog
mutterlng and barking for hours.
Samson woke the camp at daylight
and merry song was his revelle
while he led the horses to their drink.
When they set out in the morning
Samson was wont TO say to the little
lad. who generally sat beside him:
well. my boy, what's the good word
this mOrning?" WhereupOn Joe would
say, parrot like:
Sod help us all and make His
face to shine upon u.s."
"Well said !" his father would an.
swer. and so the days journey began.
Often. near its end. they came to
some lonely farmhouse. Always Sam
son would stop and go to the door
to ask about the ronds, followed by
little Joe and Betsey with secret hopes
One of these hopes was related to
cookies and maple sugar and buttcred
bread and had been cherished since
an hour of good fortune early In the
trip Ind encouraged by sundry good
hearted women along the road An
other was the hope of seeing a baby
mainly. 1t should be said the hope
OF Betsey. Joe's interest wns merely
an echo of hers. He regarded babies
with an open mind, as 1t were. for
the opinions of his sister still had
some weight with him. she being a
year and half older than he. hut
babies invariably disappointed him.

Still, not knowing what might happen,
he always took II look ut every baby.

Answer-We advise you to hold on to
the bonds you have, and let your in
vestment funds grow from the interest
rather than by trying to catch market
fluctuations from time to time. You
have an excellent list in our opinion.
We think that the question of relative
merits Of bonds purchased at dis
count as compared with bonds of
higher coupon rate purchased at
around par is largely academic, ex-
cept where special circumstances enter
into the matter. The main thing is
to get safe bonds, such as you now
have. For your future purchase, we
think that it would be better for you
to confne yourself to American bonds,
in view of the considerable number
Of foreign bonds you now have, until
the political and economic situation in
Europe is little clearer. We think
that the new State of Queensland issue
would be appropriate for you, how
ever, since it is far removed from
European complications, and we also
think that you might buy few shares

Wants a Clairyoyant

Question: would like to have your ad-
vice regarding Mexican Petroleum common
stock. I bought some at $3.50 as invest
ment 1t is quoted now at much less than
$3.50 per share Do you think will be
able to sell my stock at above $50 If I
hold 1t until some time later? Is there
any chance OF this company increasing its
13 per cent dividends on the common
stock? What is the book value OF this
stock? What. does it earn per share !?
What are its future prospects? How many
acres OF proven oil land does this com
pany own? What were the earnings per
share when this stock sold at 264? What
do you think Is fair valuation as an in
vestrnent for this stock at the present
time ?-J. w. NJ
Answer-The questions which you ask
US are entirely within the realm of
speculation, regarding which we do not
undertake to give advice. We do not
know whether Mexican Petroleum will
ever sell at $3.50 a share again and we
do not know any one who possesses this
invaluable information.

Equipment Trust Ccrtificntrs

Question Kindly explain the .,p,ilsdeI-

equipment trust certificates; how does this
compare with other methods Of securing
equipment obligations. such as car trust
,ssrt.ncater' What is tho security under
iylns the equipments recently placed bv

Answer-The Philadelphia plan of
car trust certificates simply means that
company is formed which buys the
cars, and the certificates represent
stock of this company. Of course,
actually they represent ownership of
the cars, and the cars are rented to the
railroads. Any form of car trust or
equipment bonds which represents ac-
tual ownership of the equipment with
ample provisions for paying off install
ments OF tho equipment, before it be-
comes either worn out or obsolete is a
good type of security. in our opinion.
and the history of equipment trust GER
