come a long way and run the risk OF
being caught by hungry enemy"
Over in the Old Orchard the feath-
cred folk sat in the shadiest places they
could find and painted in the heat. They
we're silent now There was no twitter-
ing, no happy chirps. When each morn
ing Farmer Browns Boy brought out
a pail of water and filled the bath he
made for them they crowded around it
to drink thirstily and splash in it until
often he had to fill it up again.
Over in the dear Old Briar-patch
Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter sat all day
long in the coolest place they could find,
which wasn't cool at all. At night they
hunted for food that still had some
moisture in it and it was hard to find.
There was none in the dry grass. So
they ate bark and tender twigs just as
in Winter and were thin when they
should have been fat.
For once little Mrs Peter had no OBJ
jections when Peter proposed they visit
Farmer Browns garden.
There are green things there" said
he. land green food we must have"
So they visited Farmer Browns gar
der, and even there they found every
thing wilted instead of crisp and fresh.
1t was just as hard on Johnny Chuck
dIiu SltuCh. 1liCy, WV, WCliG w
the garden, for nowhere else could
they find what they needed. Danny
and Nanny Meadow Mouse suffered
with the rest. Everywhere the ground
was baked hard And always there was
the heat, the dreadful heat. 1t took
their strength. Even the nights were
hot. Only in the depths of the Green
Forest was there any comfort, and even
there Lightfoot the Deer and Buster
Bear were complaining.
And still bright Mr.. Sun smiled and
smiled each day and men said there
never was such a drought, that crops
were drying up and would be failure
unless rain fell soon, and talked about
hard times which must follow. But
few of them gave thought to the little
people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows to whom hard times
had already come.
So the great drought continued and
for want of water there was great suf-
fering. and to this the heat added more
suffering. And there was nothing the
little people could do about 1t.

about the discourtesy to me, and
threatens to take the matter up with
my fiance. Personally, 1 would rather
never hear from his mother than hurt
his feelings. So my question is:
Couldn't I, without bringing down all
the walls of convention upon my
mcther's head, write to his mother
tshe lives too far away to go to see
herr and perhaps make her feel at
ease with me enough to write to me?
Actually, I'm not sure that anything
counts except my fiance's love for me
and mine for him
Answer: I think your last sentence
answers the question. The only thing
1 can suggest is that you talk to your
fiance frankly Surely, you ought to be
able to ask him whether he would like
to have you write or whether he pre-
fers that you do nothing. Make as
little fuss as possible, but say something
such as, Tell me, John, what would
you like to have me do about your
mother; do you think she would like a
letter from me? OF course, l want to
do whatever you want me to-
I can't quite understand why you
are not able to say everything in your
heart to the man you love. After all,
your married happiness must rest on
mutual understanding, on trust and
confidence. You must not let un-
shared thoughts build barrier between
you.

You were made without a mind.
You've been useless from your birth
But some day perhaps we'll find
That you'll drive us of the earth.

No advantages you've had;
You can neither read nor write,
You cannot subtract or add;
But. despite your lack of wit,
While the centuries passed by,

You know how to multiply.

Planning early, toiling late,
While you calmly took your way,
Your vast ranks to decimate.

~HE late Summer days were no

TINE late Summer days were hot
and dry, oh, so dry. Day after
day bright, hot Mr.. Sun climbed
i up in the blue, blue sky smiling
his broadcast, but he received no
answering smiles from the little people
of the Green Meadows or even those OF
the Green Forest. The Green Meadows
were green no longer They were brown,
as brown as ever they are after the
coming of Jack Frost. The grass was so
dry that it was almost crisp. In the
Gear Old Briar-patch and the Old Or
chard the leaves of the bushes and trees
hung Imply and many dried and
dropped Only the big trees of the
Green Forest, with roots going deep
into the ground where there was still
some moisture, kept their fresh green
color.
The Laughing Brook had grown
smaller and smaller. 1t no longer
laughed and gurgled and rippled on its
way to the Big River. The Smiling
Pool no longer smiled. 1t had grown
smaller and smaller until it was smaller
than any one could remember having
seen 1t before.

Fruit Stains,

Whenever you find fruit stains on
tablecloth or napkins, wet them with a
little camphor. If this is done before
the stain has been wet with water, the
stain will entirely disappear when the
articles are laundered.
Another way to remove fruit stains
from table linen easily and surely, sim
ply moisten the stain with pure glycerin
before sending the clothes to the
laundry.
Pouring hot water through the stain
on the cloth will probably remove It
also, II no other method has been tried.

How 1t Started
Sweeping Back the Ocean"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We have an inquiry for the origin
of that well known sirlile to express
an attempt at the impossible, Like
Mrs. Partington sweeping back the
ocean,"
We are familiar with this saying be-
cause of its use chiefly by public speak
ers. And it was with very famous
public speaker that it had its origin.
Its author was Sidney Smith, who in
his famous speech at Taunton, in 1881.
said this:
I'm the midst of this sublime and
terrible storm cat Sidmouth) Dame
Partington. who lived upon the beach.
was seen at the door of her house with
mop and pattens, trundling her mop,
squeezing out the sea water, and Wig
orously pushing away the Atlantic
Ocean The Atlantic was reused; Mrs.
Partington's spirit was UP. But I need
not tell you that the contest was un-
equal; the Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs.
Partington."

Mrs. Anna Mae Folta, buyer for the Leader Department Store, who returned on the Northwestern from two-month buying trip to Se- attle, Portland and San Francisco, is enthusiastic about the new styles and materials winch she purchased while away.
 A complete new stock of goods for the store was bought, includ- ing, among ready-to-w articles, dresses, hats, spring coats, fur trimmed and plain; skirts, sweat CTS; women and children's wash dresses; blouses; lingerie; gloves; hosiery; umbrellas; costume jew elry; pajamas; negligees; and prac- tically everything wanted by the well dressed matroh or miss.
 Dresses Charming
 The dresses include many charm ing new styles among afternoon and evening gowns, the latter both formal and informal and many with separate little jackets mak- ing them wearable for either for nal afternoon or dinner with the jacket or evening with it remov- ed.
 The colors this year seem tc be more enchanting than ever be- fore" Mrs. Folta said, and the yard goods I bought are perfect ly beautiful"
 In the yard goods, Mrs. Folta bought a complete line of mater ials for dresses, comprising the very latest in pattern and mater ial, as well as all types of yard age.
 The curtains and draperies are the most attractive I have ever seen," Mrs. Folta said. She pur- chased drapery materials as well as a number of beautiful styles already made up, in brocades, as well as plain materials, and cre- tonnes.

The new V-8 is the most powerful car Henry Ford has built since he began his vol- ume production of motor cars. It is the fastest car he has built, capable of sustained speed of 80 miles an hour on an open road which would take one to Eagle River and back again in practi- cally no time at all, if the roads and weather allowed.

 Mrs. Folta brought considerable of the new merchandise with her when she returned and has made arrangements with buyers and wholesale merchants in the south to send her new things as soon as they make their appearance, so that the Leader will have a con- tinually renewed supply of lovely modern clothing.
 In addition to her buying trip, Mrs. Folta visited relatives in &c., attle, Olympia, Tacoma and Mos COW, Idaho.
