the benches in the dining room be-
trayed the presence of a solitary oc-
cupant. A man was lying full length
behind the table, his hat tilted over
his face.
Wilton shook him to his feet, and
disclosed Andersen, dead drunk.
The foreman, rudely awakened
stood reeling and blinking at him.
"What have you got to say?" de-
manded Wilton, furious at this lapse
on the part of the man whom he had
trusted.
II say-d-n poor whisky for a re-

Swede.
"Where did you get it?" shouted Will

"Over yander," answered Andersen
jerking his thumb in the direction of
the portage.
"Where are the men gomez"
"Over yander," repeated Andersen

Proof That Birds Capable Of Lifting
and Carrying OFF FuIl-Grown
Men Once Existed.

Recent scientific discoveries in vari-
Gus parts of the world 60 to prove that
in times long gone by there were birds
big enough to lift man into the air
without difficulty, observes London
Tit-Bits writer.
1t is well known that an eagle with
five-feet spread of wings can lift a
lamb weighing ten pounds, and that a
bird can generally lift one-half more
than its own weight. Many of the
enormous birds of ancient times
weighed many hundreds of pounds,
and some of them had (. spread of
wings which would cover present
day street car.
There once lived in the Rocky noun
tains of America 4 race of parrots
seven feet high. One nearly complete
skeleton of this remarkable species
has been preserved, and fragments of
others have recently been dug up.
These parrots are supposed to have
trodden the earth about 100000
years ago.
AhothSi uhiu1ius SiSutuTc was d
running bird of prey of the heron FAM
lily. 1t had head larger than that of
a horse, with huge sharp beak, and
was eight feet high. Like the parrot,
1t could not fly to any height, as its
wings were not large enough to sup
port 1t.
In the island of Madagascar there
used to be an enormous bird called
the aepyornis. This creature was ten
feet high and laid eggs thirteen inches
long and three feet in circumference.
1t is supposed to have become extinct
only little more than century ago.
Although the aepyornis must have
been a sufficiently awe-inspiring sight.

investment in paint will save it.
A building that is not protected
by paint must either be rebuilt

costly figure.
Check the costs. Compare the
prices of paint and lumber. Can you
afford to bear the expense of rebuild
ing or repairing your home, when to
save it costs so little?
When you paint, make an additional
saving by using the best paint. 1t
