And muttered: II defy It;
Their stuff may be what they portray
But I'm not going to buy it,
AZ time wore on he made remarks
It would not do to mention;
He was mad-a picture ad
Was forced on his attention.
But in a week or two or three
He said: There's no denying
That picture sure does interest me-
The stuff may be worth trying"
For Just about fortnight more
He dared the picture win him.
But soon the ad completely had
Aroused the spender in him.
Next day he drifted in a store
And quietly expended
A few big iron dollars for
The stuff the ad commended.
He found It filled long-felt need;
Its excellence surprised him.
And now he's glad the picture had

ing leadership of Mrs. A. B. Parry,
closed the program with two splendid
numbers, the first a dramanizatipn
'of the story of Queen Esther, and the
second dialog in which seven girls
displayed surprisingly complete
knowledge Of many Bible facts.
After the program the audience was
invited to remain TO see the handcraft
work of the various departments
Those remaining were delighted with
the beautiful specimens executed by
youthful hands under the careful
guidance of those more experienced
The primary exhibit consisted of book
lets, posters, sewing. and other work:
the Juniors had made a replica of the
tabernacle and also displayed some
beautiful samples of drawing and
painting: the Intermediates had made
some things Of very real value, in
Guiding desk sets. painted pottery,
tointed dolls and stuffed dolls.
The total enrolment Of the school
was 200 and the average attendance
143. The Chautauqua coming at the
same time as the last week of the
school brought down the average, but
it still compares favorably with other
larger towns. For instance. at Fort
Collins, with five churches participate
ing the attendance was about $50. The
success of the school and the interest
evinced by the parents, practically

High Living.

For the purpose of providing shelter
for mountaineers who may be over
taken by storms, the United States
government recently constructed a
novel stone dwelling at an altitude, of
10000 feet, on the south side of Mount
Rainier, Rainier National park, says
POPULAR Mechanics Magazine in an H.
lustrated article. The location Of the
shelter Is on Il sand and pumice-stone
ridge at the base of Gibraltar, IA
nous landmark In the park. The spot
Is known as Camp Muir, named after
q famous explorer who ascended the
mountain In 1888, and chose this place
for camp, because 1t is practically
the only spot on the mountain shell
tered from heavy winds.
The shelter Is built of stones gath
cred on the site, and the style Of archi-
lecture resembles that of Indian dwell
ings Of the Southwest. Constructed by
the National park service at cost of
$1,000, the building houses comfort
ably 20 persons.

Chinese Take to Frozen Meat.

Argentina is giving Australia run
for her money in supplying China and
the Far East with frozen meat. While
the Chinese have in the past preferred
the taste and smell Of fresh-killed
meat, they are gradually being edu-
Gated to eat the frozen variety. says
Consul General Thomas Sammons,
Melbourne in report just received By
the Department Of Commerce. and
there is a general belief that they viii
ultimately become accustomed to using
frozen meat freely. On the other hand,
Australian butter is selling well In

We have fortunately got over that
state of easy-going wisdom which as
sumed that because Mr.. Hog and his
wife were blessed with considerable
weight, plus fat, they could withstand
the inelenencies of the weather These
dumb friends and food-producers of
ours are domesticated in our so-called
temperate climates, but they are by no
means native. As one might deduce
from their scanty protective covering,
they originated in and were native to
q much warmer climate than one can
find in ordinarily temperate localities.
They need to have shelter throughout
the winter; they need to be protected
against exposure which causes disease.
In the hollow clay tile colony farrow-
Ing house illustrated we have a sue
cessful and satisfactory solution of the
hog-housing problem. 1t is, first Of all,

warm shelter yields excellent returns
