"The fastest runner of all the wood folk is Prong Horn," said Willy Wolf, and he looked round in a way that showed ho did not believe that anyone would dispute him, •"Oh, no; White Throat is the fast- est!" cried Hilly Bear at once, "You are both wrong," said Roy Coo. "Velvet Eyes is the fastest deer in the forest—the fastest on this side of the big mountain." And so they " argued, and their friends joined In the argument, The three deer themselves had little to say, but they held their heads high and each made it plainly understood that he was very proud of his speed, and each in his heart felt sure that he could run faster than any living crea- ture—perhaps even faster than the West Wind itself. At last Grandpa Fox, the wisest of all the wood folk, spoke up. "Idle talkl Idle talk!" be cried. "Boasting settles nothing. You must have a rare. That is the only way to settle it."

England's Most Beautiful Specimen of Classical Architecture. The Royal. Naval College, to ;Which Sir Henry 'Meissen has been appointed Admiral President, occupies what has been described as the finest specimen of classical architecture in England. It was built from plans by Wren as a memorial to Queen Mary, the wife of William III. The work was begun by public subscription, to which the be- reaved monarch contributed (or, ra- ther, promised) $10,000; but all kinds of devices, including lotteries, had to be resorted to before it was finished. First opened as an asylum for dis- abled seamen in 1705, the hospital was more than a century and a half the home of over 2,000 Greenwich pen- sioners. They and their quaint uni- foims disappeared from the scene in 1870, and three years later, when the necessary alterations had been made, the college was opened. The Act of 1869, by which it was established, pro- vided that in case of war the building shall be at all times available for its original purpose. ' Fox.

You, Willy Wolf, shall ride on Prong Holm; you, Billy Bear, on White Throat; and you, Ray Coon, on Velvet Eyes. Not get readyl" All this time Gray Squirrel and Bouncer Rabbit had been whispering together, apart from the others, at the foot of a big pine. Now Gray Squirrel ran up to Grandpa Fox and cried out so that all could hear: "What is the race for—to see which is the fastest deer, or which creature is fastest of all the wood folk?" "To find the fastest of all the wood folks," answered Grandpa Fox. "Am I not right?" "You are right!" cried the others. "Then I want Bouncer Rabbit to be in the race, and I will ride him," said Gray Squirrel bravely. "Bouncer is too modest to speak for himself, but I think he is the fastest of all the wood folk." How they all laughed! And bouncer Rabbit crouched close among the roots of the big pine. "Silence!" cried Grandpa Fox, rais- ing his big cane. "What Gray Squir- rel asks is only fair. Bouncer Rab- bit 'may start if ho desires to. Aro there any others?" No other came forward, and so the three deer and Bouncer Rabbit went off with their riders to the starting point on the other side of the woods. Bouncer Rabbit looked very small be- side the deer; but Gray Squirrel pat- ted him on the back and 'whispered something that made his eyes brighter than ever, and he no longer minded the jeers of the others. A moment later they were in lino. Then Grandpa Folf barked the word 'Go 1" The three deer flew like the wind, and in places where the branches were low the three riders had all they could do to stay in their seats. Bouncer Rabbit Was covering the ground in long leaps. His leaps became longer and faster. Just before the finish line there was a fallen tree that all must leap over. Here the judges waited. On came the racers in a flurry of snow. Over the fallen log they flew, the leaders fairly abreast and Prong Horn behind. The race was over. Who hid won? They all crowded round the judges, clamoring loudly—all execpt Gray Squirrel and Bouncer Rabbit. They stood apart, and Bouncer panted soft- ly, while Bray 'Squirrel patted him and said something that made his eyes still brighter. "I don't know who won," said Grandpa Coon, one of the judges. "I was watching Prong Horn, who was behind the others." 'Neither do 1," said Rountlface Owl, :mother judge, "The sun came out and blinded me juat as they leaped ever the log." "Well, I know who won," :said Grandpa Fox, still waving his big handkerchief. "It W1.18 Bouncer Rob - bit. 1 was watching the finish line end the sun did not blind inc.

Well, we all get not of our thoughts from others. How can we help it? The rush of Me leaves us little time to think. And even if it left us much, the most of us are per- haps somewhat inadequately provided with the necessary machinery. But two points at least are worth remem- bering in this matter: First, let us try to have a thought of our own occa- sionally, or, if that is impossible, to make ready-made thoughts our own by testing them and adapting them and seeing that they are really true 'for us. Second and far more import- ! ant, let us realize that our thoughts are ready made, and be humble and quiet with them, and not make the world smile by pompously parading ideas as our own that mankind accept- ed or rejected ages before we were capable of thinking of anything, WINTER HARD ON BABY The wi r season is a hard one on the baoy.

ELIMINATING WASTE. -e Sceret of British Success And of In- dustrial Prosperity. There are two ways to elminate waste. One is to prevent its occurrence entirely. The other is to utilize waste in such a way as to bring a profit. For example, consider the thrifty Scotch traders. They save things that other people waste. They utilize the soot from their chimneys to manu- facture shoe blacking. - They import scraps of wood from the Scandina- vian sawmills to be used as firewood. With cork shavings brought from Spain and Portugal they manufacture linoleum, They ship their old tin cans to the continent, where they are melted into block ton (or, at least, they did before the war broke out). The old rags of the world are brought to Leith to be converted into paper. They export old horsehoes to China, where the Mongois convert them into cutlery and domestic utensils. The secret of British success in inanufacturing is said to lie in the effi- ciency of labor in England and in the elimination of waste is to be found the reason for the industrial supre- macy of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Theodore H. Price, an American economist, says that in the cotton mills of Lancashire a very large pro- portion of the cotton waste discarded THE NATION'S FUTURE Depends Upon Healthy Babies Properly reared children grow up to be strong, healthy citizens Many diseases to which child- ren are susceptible, 'first indicate their presence in the bowels.

Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, After Years of Suffering, Found the Remedy They Sought in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Capreol, Ont., Jan. 22nd (Special.) —Firm believers in Dodd's Kidney Pills are Mr. and Mrs. Adolphe Saw- yer of this place. They have their reasons and are quite willing to make them public. "I was a complete wreck when I started to take Dodsi's Kid Pilis," Mr. Sawyer says. "I had suffered for ten years. I tried five doctors alto- gether. Some said it was rheuma- tism. Others called it lumbago, but none could give me any permanent re- lief. Dodd's Kidney Pills made a new man of me. "My wife got the same good re- sults from them. She also had been to several doctors. A specialist from Sault Ste. Marie advised her to stay in bed for a month. But she tried Dodd'sKidney Pills instead with splendid results. "Do you tvonder that wo both praise Dodd's Kidney Pills? No one can speak too highly of them." Dodd's Kidney Pills are purely and simply a kidney remedy. If the di- sease is of the kidneys or from the kidneys they will cure it. Ruined the Ruin. An English nobleman was about to set out for India, and, fearing that in his absence vandals might destroy a picturesque ruin mi his estate, he said to his steward. ''I want you to build a wall Isere," he drew a tiny fur- row with his stick around the ruin— "a stone wall five feet hight." On his return home the nobleman started for the spot, Wheri he reach- ed it he rubbed his eyes in amazement. There was the new stone wall, but he could see nothing towering up inside of it. He turned excitedly to his steward: "Look here, where's the ruln, man?": "The ruin, my lord?" replied the steward. "Oh, that ould thing! Sure, I used it to build the wall with."
