EPKXJJEXT OX OTHERS T H) PKOPLi; who harbor tue foolish idea that they are not dejendent on others, then? Is sure to come at some period of their existence a rude awakening. And this 1 true of everybody, the man or woman with five talents "and tho with but one talent. It is true of you! It Is immaterial how able you may be, how much money you may have, or how exalted you may be, you will, as you go through life, eventually discover that, aside from your ability and wealth, you are largely dependent on others for most of your dally comforts and happiness. Argue this as you may from the abstract to the real, and turn back again to the beginning, you will find that your dependence on others is one of the most incontestable facts in the world. And it is only when you soberly ?Av.. v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v Uncommon Sense By JOHN BLAKE v. BASED OX EXPERIENCE IT IS decision or the luck of it that makes the difference between first class and second class men. No nian Is fit to command an array or even a company of Infantry unless lie has decision. Hesitation in time of war Is fatal. It is luiigcrmis and destructive in times of peace. Xo man can always make up his mind quickly and he sure he is right every time. lut the man who does this oftenest. is the man who gets furthest In the world. All Important loaders of action or thought are men of decision. This Is particularly true of executives, who have many men under them. To Mich men hesitation means lost time hundreds of hours of it, and Is not to be tolerated. Hut be very careful, In cultivating decision, to base it on experience. It will he anything but an advantage to he able to make up your mind quickly if you make it up wrong every time. Neither you nor I would he able to decide instantly between two reports of engineers as to the be.-t course to run a railroad. A railroad president or general manager who was worth his salt could decide very shortly. lie could do so because years of experience would have taught him how to weigh the question, and to decide for the combination that meant the easiest grades and the most trallic. Hut we can, or at least ought to, be able to decide our own problems without much waste of time. We ought not to hesitate more than half an hour over the choke of a suit of clothes, or more than ten seconds over the choice of a necktie. Yet even to make trivial choices such as these, requires a knowledge of ourselves, which is not lightly acquired. Learn to decide, for decision means efficiency. Hut learn to decide right. Come cut!

CAKES TO BE EATEN THE ,DAY THEY ARE BAKED ALL shortcakes are Ust served hot from the oven, and so are blueberry gems, tlio.e delicious berryiilled cakes which we enjoy in the season. Cakes which are not rich enough to keep well should be eaten the same or the following day they are baked. Feather Cake.

Think About

ask yourself why, that (he truth comes with overwhelming force. Self-dependence will not endure logical scrutiny. It cannot stand the simple test of common sense. From birth till death, men and women of every degree are dependent on one another, forced by a natural law to rely on one another for support and favor. Kverythlng worth having comes from others. Love, companionship, power and fame are the priceless gifts bestowed upon you by the kindly hearts and generous hands of those who are traveling beside you through life's sunshine and shadows. And you, whether aware of it or not, are giving something of which you are possessed to weld a link in this endless chain of dependence, being constantly beaten Into new form and character on the anvil of Time. Those who should understand each other with a fulness impossible otherwise, should make daily notes of their inability to help or provide themselves without outside assistance. These notes may pain sharply as they are set down In long rows, but If they are studied In the right spirit, they will soon sweeten the bitterness in the soul and allay the rancor. Indeed, If this should be done regularly, with good-will towards all mankind, the world will soon become a better place to live In, the needless animosities between man and nations would cease, and all hearts would beat happily In spiritual harmony.

N:W YORK. Backyard minstrels '.sually do not interest us. This one does. His voie is fair and he plays the guitar well. We are going out to talk with him, says Kdward Anthony in the New York Herald. He Is a tall, dark-haired fellow, who might be thirty-two or forty-five. He is the type whose ape it Is impossible to guess. He has a hard job, it seems to us. Backyard minstrelsy is a toupli assignment at best. It must be especially hard today, for there is a sting in the air (wait, this isn't the story of a shivering minstrel) and most of the windows we can see are shut. But the singer is not 'worried. While lie is not being showered with coins, there are a few evidences on the ground that he is making himself heard to some, and he seems very well satisfied.

Woman, Fake Husband, Baby and Mystery

DKXVKK, (X1LO. This city has an interesting mystery of which Mrs. Helen Sullivan or Mrs. Helen Spillman is the central ligure. She Is under arrest, charged with imposition upon the juvenile ourt and the Cottage Home orphanage In the adoption of John Laurence Cole, a one-day-old baby. The woman obtained the baby from the Cottage home after she had appeared with several letters recommending her as a person of good moral character. A man with her signed the adoption papers, which were issued by Judge (Jeorge A. Luxford. Tlie man represented himself to be her husband, George M. Sullivan. It was then discovered that the man Winter Sports High ESTES PAUK, COLO. A carnival i of winter sports OJmO feet up in j the Uockies, -10 miles from a rail- ' road! That's what the Kocky Mmintain National park sees every February, when the snow is deepest. Says Hoger W. Toll, superintendent of the park: "Fern lake. 11 miles from the Este park entrance, combines so many advantages that of accessibility, heavy snowfall, scenic beauty and comfortable shelter that it is bound to become Increasingly popular. The place Is a natural playground. The depth of snow covers all fallen logs and other Irregularities in tlie surface of the ground, and makes an ideal condition for snowshoeing. skiing and tobogganing. The lake itself is in a beautifully picturesque setting, and in midwinter, with the trees covered thickly with snow, the photographer finds plenty of opiortunity to display his skill. 'The improvement of the tt)oga!i und ski courses has been completed by the national park service. The toboggan slide Is cupped toward the center and is fan-shaped."

Luxford set aside the adoption. Tlie young woman was taken to tlie district attorney's oflice, where she repeatedly threatened suicide and fainted before she was taken to jail. Mrs. Sullivan's motive, according to the juvenile court authorities was that she wished to practice an imposition upon her husband, George Marion Sullivan, St. Louis, from whom she has been divorced. According to this story, she was awarded alimony for herself and child, and was compelled to produce n child to collect the alimony. The woman, whose name may or may not be Sullivan, denies having been divorced, and says that her only idea in adopting the child was to please her husband, because of his fondness for children. "I had written him recently telling him I was to become a mother, and had to obtain a child to prevent him from knowing I lied," she said. Her chief anxiety Is lest her parents at Hloom, Ala., should learn of her predicament. Up in the Rockies keeps tne ice clear of snow, allowing the tobocans to race across the lake.

LAND GROWS RICH Wortferijl Development of Canada in Forty Years.

Four Decades Aro Littls Considered, Today Ore cf the Gre?t-st Granaries and Dairying Centers. The lereiit ;;;ii.iitKciia!.t that the sale of the tirst Mvtlon of Canadian Pacilic land wus sold forty ears ago, and when you read that the lirst carload of wheat was shipped from Winnipeg forty years ago, the changes that have taken place sine then are matters of reminiscence, but yet of interest. What forty years ago was an unknown luantity, barren because hut little production was attempted. Is today one of the greatest granaries in the world. Then there was scarcely any farm live stock in the West. Dairying was not engaged In at all. Today there are 0.!tt$,317 farm animals on the prairies, of which 8S1.SW are milch cows; and dairying Is only second in importance to grain growing, in the West. Forty years ago the shipment of one carload of grain was a notable exploit. Today, Canada ranks as the second largest wheat-producing country in th world, with ;'). l&VftiO bushels, m) er cent of which was grown in the three prairie provinces, of which th province of Saskatchewan produced more than half. The Dominion is today the second largest producer of oats, with f&O.TlO.OOO bushels, of which H er cent was grown between Winnipeg and the Itocky mountains; and tJi liftu largest producer of barley with CvJll," 000 bushels, of which the prairies yielded !" per cent.
