Uncle Dunk is getting along in years,'' rcgretfully said resident of the Ozarks.
 "Eh-yah" replied an acquaintance. He's sOmers about eighty-one, ain't he?"

Milk From Peanuts.

The common peanut is the source of a new substitute for milk which so closely resembles it's prototype that it turns sour and curdles, pro- duces butterlnilk when churned and may be made into cheese, says the Scientific American. The flavor, iL which the nut characteristically per. sists, is declared to be practically ita only point of variance with cows milk. The new lacteal product orig. mated in the laboratory of an Amer. ican university where the peanut ker- nels are converted into four times their volume of milk, varying from 4 10 8 per cent in fat content and from "A to 3.3 per cent in protein. The cost of production is said to be con- siderably less than the market price of dairy milk.

HOLDS WILDERNESS IN scoRN
Japanese Adventurer Thrives on Such Perlis as Might We'll Daunt
 Even the Rravest.


 Jujiro Wada has always played a lone hand. Up and down the northern fringes of civilization he has pioneered for 30 years. He has been in the thick of every gold rush from the Klondike to Hanson Creek. He is an expert trapper, hunter, cook, prospector and dog-team driver. From Athabasca to the mouth of the Mackenzie, all Old- timers know the little yellow wilder ness adventurer.
 Soon after the discovery of gusher well at Fort Norman last fall, winter closed the trails to the new oil bonanza on the Mackenzie. But 1t did not shut out Jujiro Wada. Ice and snow and bowling blizzards have no terrors for him. Employed by Van couver capitalists to go to Fort Nor man and stake claims for them, he struck out for Peace river with team of dogs in the dead of winter. For 1,2OO miles he mushed alone through the frozen. wolf-haunted sOlitudes, staked his claims and came back across the snow to Peace river.
 Now he has been employed by a New York syndicate to go to the top of the world on hunt for gold. A rumOr has long been bruited about the arctic that Herschel island conceals rich gold deposits. The little Jap will soon leave for the north prepared to spend at least year on this thunder riven, desolate rock in the arctic seas. If he uncovers treasure, there will be no delay in bringing out samples. No matter if it is 90 degrees below, Jujiro Wada will harness up his malamutes and break trail back toward civiliza- tiOn. That's his way.

years ago, so many that II

be giving away the secret OF my
age" he said, adding that the
village was then less conspicuous
upon the map, as to populatloh'
than now.
"There was one church in the
place, and everybody was either
identified with it, OF came under
It's influence. 1T had sunday
school. but most of the members
of it were grown-ups. There had
been many Christmas festivals for
the school, but that year the Older
members voted that there should
be none, which was a real blow to
the children.
81 felt that the day should not
be passed without the customary
good time for the children, so in
wiling all of them to the institute,
| induced some Of the young wom-
en- students and two Of the teach
crs give the youngsters the best
entertainment that we could de-
wise. We had nearly 80 children
at that Christmas afternoon par
ty, and they had u jolly time.
There was singing of solos, Choir
uses by the children and the play
ing of games, the latter appear
ing to afford the greatest pleasure
of all.
1--WE did not have much money
to work with, but HELPED fill Il
bag with candy for each child, and
saw that each one had a pretty
Christmas card. While the chit
drcn were enjoying the candy they
listened to the telling of stories
incident to the great Christmas
festival, and about 5 o'clock we
bundled them home, a very happy
lot of children, let me tell you.
In putting that over on the older
members Of the school, who seem
ed to believe there was no sense in
having a Christmas festival, | had

The mason nursed a broken heart,
A broken heart he could not fix
But practicing his trade and art,
He lost his woe in laying bricks.
The architect was wrapped In grief
AS deep a grief as any mans,
Till in his work he found relief
An lost his sorrow in his plans.
The great composer bathed in woe,
He moaned his trouble, night and
noon,
But there was work TO do--and so
He lost his sorrow in a tune.
The poets soul was filled with murk,
A darkness black as any curse.
TIL in despair he turned to work
And lost his sorrow in his verse.
Yet architect. composer, bard.
And mason. cursed the daily need
That drove them 10 their labors
hard
All. men are silly folk indeed
