THE WHITE PORCUPINE.
LITTLE William made everything
as it was. That is, he put the
fire out, and raked the shes
and stamped on them so that no fire
would catch.
“What makes you take so much
trouble? No one ever comes here. !
So why do you make it look just
as if no one ever had been here be
fore? asked Fred.
“I always do that, for if people
aren’t careful a big forest fire might
start, and all the woods burn. And
then anyway when I come to this
place again' I like to have it look
just as if no one had ever camped
here before,” William explained.
“Well, anyway,” laughed Fred
“there isn’t any lunch to clear up.”
Then the queerest thing happened.
Alphonse, the white porcupine took
it into his head to walk out of the
woods. The boys had never seen
such a sight and Ranger was nearly
wild. ,
Ranger thought Alphone must be
some kind of cat, but in a minute
William say that it a really truly
porcupine.
Ranger barked and barked and the
white porcupine stood still. He did
not know much about dogs, but he
felt that Ranger must be an enemy
and so he made his white spears
stand up all over and he looked like
Bragg’s Market Greeting:

a white ball.
Ranger was all for chasing Al
phone. Os course you couldn't real
ly say “chasing” for Alphone stood
stock still and you chase any
one who is standing still.
But William had to hold Ranger
--CJwl
They saw Quilly’s cousin Alphonse

and thrashing his club-like tail.
by the scruff of the neck while he
twisted and barked every minute.
Alphone, the white porcupine,
didn’t mind the barking—he didn’t
eem to have any nerves,' and of
course he wasn’t afraid of Ranger
for he knew his shining white spears
would protect him from the dog’s
bites.
Teddy Possum and Jimmie Coon
were shaking with laughter in the
tree tops when they saw William
holding Ranger and Ranger tying to
make one bite of the white porcu
pine.
Quilly, the brown porcupine, and
the othef porcupines looked out of
the bushes to see what all the noise
was about and thdy saw Quilly’s
cousin Alphone looking like a white
ball of spears and thrashing his
club-like tail.
When William looked up and saw
the other porcupines coming out of
the woods, he said, “Well,” I never
thought I would ever see five por
cupines together and one of them
white. We must get Ranger out of
this. If they shoot their spears they
will nearly kill Ranger—come on we
will go off in the canoe.”
Fred would have liked to stay and
see what the porcupines would real
ly do, but William went towards
the canoe dragging Ranger, who was
barking like mad and pulling and
scuffling.
Tomorrow —William turns the Canoe
Over.
Family Pride.
Family pride, ns it exists in society,
seems to involve an absurdity, inas
much as the honor of heing descend
i ed from a great man increases exactly
j as the degree of consanguinity to him
'diminishes; for his immediate de
scendants are as mere upstarts com
pared to such of his remote posterity
as can trace their origin to their great
progenitor, back through a period of
many years.—John Malcolm.

GLAD TOTESTIFY
• Says Watoga Lady, “A« To What
Cardui Has Done For Me, So
As To Help Others.”
Watoga, W. Va.—Mrs. S. W. Glad well,
of this town, says: “When about 15 years
of age, I suffered greatly ... Sometimes
would go a month or two, and I had
terrible headache, backache, and bearing
down pains, and would just drag and
had no appetite. Then ... it would last
~. two weeks, and was so weakening,
; and my health was awful.
My mother bought me a bottle of
; Cardui, and 1 began to improve after
taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I
took three... 1 gained, and was well
and strong, and 1 owe it all to Cardui.
I am married now and have 3 children
j . .. Have never had to have a doctor for
female trouble, and just resort to Cardui
if I need a tonic. lam glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
others,”
If you are nervous or weak, have head
aches, backaches, or any of the other
I ailments so common to women, why not
give Cardui a trial? Recommended by
many physicians. In use over 40 years.
Begin taking Cardui today. It may
be the very medicine you need.

In a Quandary.
A charming hostess, who was enter
.aining a party of children, discov
ered one little fellow sitting in a cor
ner apparently lost in thought. “What
are you thinking about, Harry?”
“Mother told me not to take two or
anges,” piped the little man, “and I
was thinking I would be mighty lucky
if I got one.”
First Moving Picture.
The first real moving picture was
produced by C. Francis Jenkins, a
stenographer at the treasury depart
ment, Washington. and shown by him
at Richmond, Ind., his home town, on
June 6, 1894. The picture portrayed
a butterfly costume dance performed
by a vaudeville artist named Anna
belle, who reciffved s•’ ' r work.

The history of the flea would seem
to go back many ■ centuries, but the
only fossil remains of a flea that have
so far been found is a single insect in
a bit of Baltic a nber. The flea is
admirably preserved by its semi-trans
parent surroundings, and is in the col
lection of Professor Clebs.
O'linn Machines.
Msnv women oil their own machines
frequently end carefully, as they
should, but tb'-y forgot to put a big
drop of oil once a month in each end
of the treadle. The-machine runs with
one-third the expenditure of effort If
this is regularly done.
Rainy Day and Business. j
Someone figured that a rainy day
cost New York an ureonscionable
amount of money. Women, ho • xplain
ed, disbursed 85 nor cent of the money
earned by men. On rainy or dark days
they remain indoors mostly. Store
sales were curtailed, traffic reduced
and nearly every class and character
;of business was affected adversely.
Theaters, movie shows, ball games and
■eneral amusements suffered seriously.
Wanted One of Them.
Edith, three, was watching a circus
parade. She stood in speechlesi
amazement till Hie camels came in
view, their riders swaying lazily, then
turning to her mother she cried: “Ob
mother, buy me a rockingchair cow;
please buy me a rockingchair cow.”
