A man who was too economical to take this paper himself sent his lit- tle boy to borrow is neighbor's copy. In his haste {he boy knocked over a $4 stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. The cries reached his fath- er, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cut- ting a piece of flesh from his hand and ruining a four dollar pair of trousers. The old cow took advant- age of the gap in the fence, got into the cornfield and killed herself eat-' ing green corn. Hearing the noise, the wife ran out, upsetting a four gallon churn of rich eream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole lot. In the hurry she dropped and broke a seven dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilt milk and into the parlour; ruining a brand-new twenty- dollar carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven settings of eggs, and the calves got out and chewed the tails off four fine shirts, Moral--Don't be in.a hurry to borrow your neigh- bor's newspaper, but buy your own. ~--EBdith Wood. . iit The Folly of Politeness (Sometimes). "Madam," said a young man, ris- ing and offering an elderly woman with a basket his seat, "won't you sit down?" Just then the street car went around a curve; the woman fell 8 arma oanttered about three The first snow. came about Oct, 11th, more in Saskatchewan than in Manitoba. From then the weather became colder until it" :wént as low a§ twelve degrees below zero. From the 16th to the 22nd the weather man gave us one fine week of weath- er, then turning colder, when on the 26th of November it registered twen- ty-five degrees below on the prairie. TWO years ago the first snow came Oct. 16th, but the weather turning warm, the farmers were able to re- sume their work on the land. This year was an exceptional one here as farmers had an abundant.crop, bet- ter than for some years, and three weeks in advance of other years, This year there was a great call for cars, as farmers shipped their own wheat to Fort William aad Kee- watin. Quite a number still held to the elevator system. In loading cars from platform, fit necessitates the help of neighboring farmers to draw and load the cars. This takes some time, and while all were busy thresh ing and drawing grain the winter set in and caught them with very little fall plowing done. No one expected by lots, and one day it fell upon the Princess Sahra to go to the dragon. The king was very sorry, of course, but it could not be helpea, $0 he pade her farewell. As the Princess rode along, she Was met by a Roman tribune. 5 He asked her why she was weeping and she told him to fly for his life, be- cause the dragon would kill him, too: But he retused to go, and just then the dragon came out of the lake. The young man, who is now known as St. George, rode toward the dragon, and after a long and bitter fight, killed the monster. In after years fic became tue patron saint of Eng- land, being created to that position by King Richard.--Margaret Light. td ------------ The Dance With the Fairies. There was once a boy who had to 80 to town every day on errands for his neighbors. One day he had to g0 for some wool for the tailor. When he got the wool and was returning hom® he met a fairy, who said, "Come along and have a dance with the fairies." 'But look at my feet," le said, ,'my boots are worn out." The fairy said, "Never mind your boots, come along and dance with us." He did so, and when it was time for him to go home his boots were 80 worn that he was going to throw them away when the fairy said, "Take my shoes and wear them."" When he started off the fairy called after him, 'Be sure and look in your pockets when you get home." The boy did so, and found that they were filled with gold. He then did not lose much time in buy- ing himself a new pair of boots and some good 'eclothes.~--Albert Chap- man, - aged 12 years, Frontenac school. / -------------- An Exciting Outing, I had a very enjoyable outing one evening. Father came home to tea and said that he was going to take our Jersey calf away to pasture for the summer.. Of course I said I wanted to go with him on the trip and dad said I could go. ' After tea that evening we Went down to the barn, and there we found a man with a truck, because it was too far for Nubbins, the calf, to walk. We had some fun trying to get her into the truck, but we succeeded, and gave her some grain to eat while we took her picture. Then we drove off, with the calf safely.reposing in the truck. Fvervthive meat mall anti i t're it to stay and were expacting to u. able to again resume work, Winter is here to stay, and we have had good sleighing all througk Novem:- ber. East of us there is much oats stilb in the stook. Gne thing we no- tice, the waste of wheat lost from farm waggons when loading into cars then wheat lost from ears in transit. Now the farmers, noticing the high- er price of wheat in the States, are asking: What is the Government go- ing 'to do about it? There are some Shooting Corn Pains 'Fade In An Hour Think of the marvel of it, that stinging, burning pain made to go like magic. That's how Putnam's Extractor works. It's made to go right for corns, to root them out, to destroy their pain, to keep callouses, sore foot lumps and the like off the human foot. No remedy quicker safer, or so painless and dependable You can absolutely rely on Putnam's Painless Corn Extractor, about 66 years in use, sold everywhere in 26c bottles.

Their side (lateral) buds are opposite each other. With other trees, the buds alternate on the stem; first -& bud on one side, then, higher up, a bud on the other side, so yor twig that bears a terminal bud and has | opposite lateral buds is from either a Maple, an Ash, or a Hogsechestnut tree. © You can tell which; for, in other respects, they are fiot alike. The, Maple twigs are smooth and slender, the buds are small, red green, brown or gray. Ash twigs are clumsy and the brown buds thick and leathery. The Horsechestnut twig is thick and bulky; the buds, large and scaly, are generally covered with a sticky var- nish which makes them shine in the suh. It is in the large Horsechestnut buds that the leaf and flower clusters are most fully developed. pa and Oils' Newspaper Service oprright, 1818, by " 4 'Millar blew out about a milp from our de- stination, so my father and I took Nubbins and walked all the test of the way, leaving my uncle and the man who owned the truck to fix the tire.. When we got back they were still working on it, and we had to go on to the next farm house and bor row some tools. After some hard work we got it fixed up, after one of the men had bruised his hand.
