Bob felt decidedly uncomfortable, yet happier than he had for several months.

"I'm going to the city to be nearer my business, and as I don't care to sell this place or rent it I thought I ought to think up some way of making it pay the taxes at least." "Oh, Bob!" she cried tearfully, am- biguously. "How could you?" Then she ran precipitately to her own home. ' Bob gazed after her dubiously. Per- haps her father was right} but he "doubted it.

Ten years! A life time! "Bob," she impulsively, "I would be willing to do anything to get rid of those dreadful signs!" Bob looked at her quickly. This was his hour. Her father and mother had even encouraged him to bope, but he hesitated at wagering his happiness on a short sentence. Nevertheless he must make the plunge some time, and the present moment seemed as propitious as any, "So you would really like to get rid of them?" he asked. "Well, I believe we could arrange that with the com- pany satisfactorily if you could recon- sider your decision of some months ago." | Bhe looked at him unsteadily. "Why, Bob," she sald, "I belleve that you are asking me to marry you again?' "That's just what I am doing," he "What's your answer?" "But that other woman!" she cried. He gazed at her In well simulated amazement. "What other woman?' he asked. "That wealthy one In the city--that business woman whom my father said you had on the string." | Bob smiled broadly. "You evidently misunderstood in what connection I had her on the string. We are going to sell her the business." | The girl looked at him happily. | "If that's the case," said she, "I sup- pose 1 might change my answer to that question if you are sure about taking down those signs. You mustn't sacri- fice a lot of money to those people, | | Bob. We'll need some." | "No, I'll not," sald he as he folded "You see, your father and I happen to be the Chee-Rup | Breakfast Food company, although we are on the point of selling the business to that woman In the city, and so, I guess, there will be no trouble about having that contract annulled." Italians and Wheat Flour. The Italian housewives of the poorer classes seem to have one unchangeable recipe for a baking. Agents of charita- | ble societies have found this out by the women always asking for a certain number of pounds of flour, just enough for one baking, in thelr grocery lists. They make the flour into a number of loaves, which, put into one pan, bake into one great loaf. The size of the family seems to make no difference. If the family is small, the bread simply lasts a little longer and gets a little drier. The bread Is very good when fresh. They do not use as much yeast as American cooks, and the bread Is very crusty, something on the order of French bread. The poorest families also use a great deal of "polenta." This is merely flour stirred into boil- Ing water, after the manner of old fashioned American "hasty pudding," only that flour is used {ustead of corn- meal. No people In the world are so devoted to wheat flour as the Itallans. Whether in the form of bread, polenta or the omnipresent macaroni, it forms the bulk of thelr diet. -- New York Globe. NAILS AND NAILING. They Figure In Speech As Well As In Trade and Building--Burns' "Nail 't Wi' Scripture." To nail a thing is to fix or fasten with a nail or nails; to drive nails into for the purpose of ini Te securing, such as to nail up a to nail a shelf to the wall, to nail down the hatches, etc.; to stud with nails; figuratively, to nail a thing is to pin it down and hold it fast, such 88 to nail a bargain or secure by prompt action.

Fife, a Scotch yacht de- | signet and naval architect, has been cabled instructions to design an in- ternational cup challenger for a syn- dicate of Vancouver yachlsmen. Carte | blanche has been given the celebrated designer in the construction of the i8 Boal. A 29-footer ife, the Scotch next spring, and will sail in the 29- foot class at the international regatta at Beattle next year for the coveted Mackie trophy, emblematic of _ championship of the P. such a stage that a cable was sent to Fife yesterday.

While | the cup challenger will be designed to lift the cup if speed and seamanship will' do the trick, she will not by any means be a freak racing machine. The new rules prohibit that class of craft. Therefore the value of the cup chal- lenger, aside from her racing' ali ties, will not be dependent entire! her ability to bring the cup to ii couver, for, unlike the racing ma- Shines on which millions have been am in an effort to lift the America , the projected new craft will be a for sea boat and a wholesome cruiser. "The plan by which Canada will be represented in the coming interna- tional regatta is by the formation of a syndicate of local yachtsmen who will each subscribe $1,000. The yacht will be entered and sail under the colors of the Royal Vancouver Yacht fa crew to sail the yacht in the cup races. Then, after the races are over, some 450 tickets at $5 cach will be sold among local yachtsmon and the yacht raffled. The lucky winner will take the yacht, and the proceeds will reimburse the syndicate." Canada's Indian Population. The Indian population of Canada at ed to 109,394, a net increase of 1,757 compared with the previous year. On- tario is set down as having an in- crease of 2,878, but this is largely ow- ing to gain by transfer of Indians for- merly shown in Keewsatin and of In- | dians hitherto not shown at all. The! total number of births was 2,611 and | of deaths 2,329, the net gain from | natural increase being 182, or 91 less | from the same source than a year ago. The income derived exclusively | through the exertions of the Indians | themselves has passed the five mil- | lion mark and exceeded that of the previous year by over half a million dollars. The mortality, which was ra- ther heavy last year, is attributed in part to we mildness of the winter, which is a questionable benefit to a ple biti ; to struggle for ex- ce and are subject to pulmo and more or less kindred diseases The tendency to traffic in the sale of | liquor to the Indians is noted in the annual report, and this warning is is- | sued :--"'Indications have been observ- ed during the year that a salutary les- son taught those concerned in this | traffic along the lower St. Lawrence a | few years ago is fast fading from memory, and apparently will have to be repeated before long. Among the somewhat kindred class of Indians in- habiting the district immediately west of Lake Buperior there is ground to fear that the traffic has been making headway, and proximity to the inter- national bbundary line adds to the difficulty in repressing it." However, signs are not wanting in other direc- tions of success in combating the evil Forestry Education. Canadian newspapers and public men are beginning to preach forestry, but as yet we have not begun to do very much. In the United States con- siderable progress is being made, and the new forestry course at Yale has grown more rapidly than any other de- | partment ever started. In calling at tention to this, The Yale Alumni Weekly says: "In the historical ups and downs of other and older depart- ments of Yale the record, the work, and the prosperity of the Forest School call for special attention. It has en- dowment funds of $200,000, with the lumbermen's professorship funds of $150,000 in sight, and an annual in- come of about $20,000. Its courses of instruction already number 81, in charge of 26 teachers, including lec- turers; and its steadily waxing regis- tration of students now amounts to 59 in the two regular classes, besides 27 students in the nature of 'specials.' In the regular lists of students one | finds, besides Yale, some 28 univer- | sities and colleges represented by | graduates, two of those institutions foreign. In the departments of Yale, | during her history, no branch has' been able to show in so limited a time such a ratio of material growth." | vented xe about, says the | here moon may see It th railway s you've scarcely bad that you k it's custom when an {tch! between you and the man says, "Merry walts for you to be lamplighter and the p man who delivers g boy from the cake s you wherever you { whom you never saw numbers.
