Whitefoot the Wood Mouse had almost forgotten that he had ever lived in the Green Forest. His home in the little wren house in an apple tree on the edge of the Old Orchard was as comfortable a home as he lad ever had. He liked it. More over. he didn't have to worry about the food. Farmer Browns Boy took caro of that. There never was time when Whitefoot couldn't find plenty to eat. He had even stored away some of the good things he couldn't eat. So he was quite satis- fled to spend the winter in the Old Orchard.
 What hs especially liked about that little house of his was that the doorway was just big enough for him to comfortably slip through and not big enough for any of his ene- mica, unless 1t should happen tha, Shadow tho Weasel should find him there.
 I'm not worrying about him though" thought Whitefoot. "shad- ow isn't going to bother to climb a tree to look into bird house at this time of year. anyhow. He wouldn't expect to find any one in it. Be- sides. he isn't likely to come over here. I did worry about him when was in the Green Forest, but I don't have to worry about him here."
 At that very minute Shadow the Weasel was hunting along the ola stone wall right below Whitofoot's house. But one of the truest sayings in the world is that what he don't know doesn't hurt us, and Whitefoot didn't know anything about it. I suspect that had he poked his head out and seen Shadow he would have wanted to move right away. So it is just as well he didn't poke his head out.
 Whitefoot had lived in that little house some time without being both- cred by anybody. Tommy Tit the Chickadee knew he was living there and was glad of if. He came over 10 the tree occasionally, but be never bothered Whltefoot in the least Tank Tank the Nuthatch knew he was there. But Yank Yank had an- other house in which he spent his nights. so he didn't care anything about that house where Whtefoot was.
 So Whitefo)t had lived peacefully and for longer period 1han ever before in his life he had gecn with out a single real fright Now title people Of tn" Green Forest and the Green Meadows have so many rights that when one is over 1t is speedily forgo'ten. and when there IS a long p"rioI between frights these little pcopl, art likely 10 for get that tilcr" can be ariCh & thin- as sudden fright. + was so with Whitefoot the Wood Mousp Over in the Green Forest he was always 'Apecting sudden fright.

CABINET or GREECE
YIELDS TO ATTACK
Ministers Resign After Lib

Its Support.
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS. June 29.-The Greek cabi-
net resigned today, following the resig-
nation of G. Kafandaris, minister of
finance.
The latter had withdrawn from the
government because the Liberal party
dominated by former Premier Venizelos
had withdrawn It's support of the gov
eminent.
Royalists are advocating the forma-
ton of cabinet temporarily and the
holding of new elections, but 1t is con-
Sidered In other circles that the prob
able solution of the political crisis will
be the formation of Venizelos cabinet.
There was much talk of Venizelos
cabinet recently when a similar crisis
developed in the government. but a
truce was patched up and the former
premier, who of late has been resuming
his political activities after long re-
tirement. did not undertake the task
of forming a new ministry.

.SACO-TURNER
LINE FINISHED
TRAIN STARTS
Great Northern Sends First Freight
Over New Branch Last Saturday.
Taps Area of 100000 Acres.

Saco, Mont, Nov. 1O.-Setting a.
new record for speed in the construc-
ton Of railroads, the Great Northern
sent its first freight train over the
Saco-Tuner branch line Saturday, ac-
cording to a statement by Lee Dem
mis- of the Montana railroad commits
sion. The construction Of the new
line began last spring and was COM
pleted Friday to Hogeland, a total
of 70 miles. Hogeland is an extern
sion Of the originally planned branch
line.
The S2co-Turner branch line Of the
Great Northern railways taps an ag-
ricultural area of some 100000
acres in Phillips and Blaine counties
and according to Mr.. Dennis will
mean approximately 100000 to the
railroad company for services in the
first year.
1t was constructed at a cost of ST.
925,000. Mr.. Dennis estimates that in
the fifth year, or 1888 the branch
line will handle 2,143,275 bushels of
wheat, Al, ,495 bushels of flax and 543
carloads of livestock. Production of
freight shipments to points on the
line during that year are 119 cars of
oil, 357 cars of lumber, 26 cars Of
farm implements and 1000 cars of
miscellaneous commodities.
Almost 100000 acres in the terri
tory tapped by the line was in crop
this year. The building program has
been exceedingly large, several new
towns have sprung up and others
moved to sites on the line. The prin-
cipal towns on the line are White
water, Loring, Turner and Hogeland.
The latter, approximately IL miles
west of Turner, is the terminus of
the branch line.
Crops in the Turner country are
yielding high this year, according to
w. H. Reed, chairman of the resi-
dents committee which has been re-
sponsible for bringing many new set
tiers to the territory. Flax threshed
out an average of 20 bushels and
wheat around 40 bushels with oats
running as high as so bushels.
