Steeanson, the Aretic explorer and discoverer of the white Eskinue See a lecture at the University of North Dakota declared that various variation ,of potatoes and seeseral different kinds of grains are suecessfully growl, by the Eskimos 1,800 milee north of Edmon- ton, Canada. The disc.oveey of this vegetation, Made by Stefanson on his' last Arctic trip, has been a big revel- ation, as it has been popularly sula posed that the vegetation line was far south of there., Mr. Stefanson also, proved by his expedition that the 'Mackenzie river is one of the finest streams in the world for navigation. He travelled on this river for over 1,300 miles, even though he had been told that it was not navigable for any great distance. According to the speaker, the summer in the Arctic region is more feared than the cold weather on account of the mosquitoes. The thermometer goes as high as 105 degrees above zero in the summer and Tamely falls lower than fifty degrees below in the winter.

BRAVE CHARLES V, Gave up His Tent to a Swallow and Her Brood Who Trusted Him Great bravery and tenderness often go close together. The good man la brave and kind and considerate, the hypocrite craven and cruel. Charles V. of Germany was an able and vir- tuous King. He could face any dan- ger, but had the heart of a little child. One day in camp he was told that a wallow was 'building her nest upon his tent. He gave ordere that it should not be disturbed. So the pret- ty least, with its dainty, soft hide& Was finished, and soon the mother bird was sitting on her pearly white eggs. But before the young birds were hatched, the army had to break camp. The tents were all struck *ex- cept the Emperor's. He said: "Let it stand. I can get another shelter, but she cannot for her brood. She trusted me for a home, I will not fail her."

Lord Nelson By the rapidity of his advancement, Rear -Admiral David Beatty has beaten the wenderful record of Lord Nelson, the greatest naval fighter the world has ever known. By reaching his present .rank in his thirty-eighth year he became tne youngest naval °Meer in that position in the British service, if not in the world's navies; and as commander of the First Cruiser Squadron, the youngest fleet coramam der afloat—a veritable "infant pro- digy," of the sea. There is no deny- ing the fact that Admiral Beatty not only has braille and'undoubted but he has what is perhaps more im- portant the gift of making gloat friends, and a large part of his Suc- cess is midoularelle- due to this Yore gift of malting friends hi high quar- ters. Firm Friendships In fact, his professloinal career has been 011e long series of these firm friendships. First it was Lord Kit- chener who admired the personal bravery and capability of the young °Meer in Eteset and gave him the official push that landed him in the position of commander; then it was Ring Edward, who first offered him a title and teen, when he declined the honor, made him a rear -admiral; later It was Winstou Churthill, who Id! a victim to the personality of the square -jawed naval officer, and who, when he went to the Admiralty, lost no time in making him his naval sec- retary; and finally Ring George, whit has. made him his especial protege. A Rising Hope Beatty is looked upon as the rising hope of the British navy and a future first lord in succession to the illus- trious chosen ones, like "Tug" Wilson and Lord Fisher, who have helped to keep the British Armada in the fore. front of the world's fleets, in efilcien: cy as well as in numbers. So deter- mined are those in charge of the navy to pass the young rear -admiral through the intervening steps that, in one case, a special odder -in -council was necessaryto ,over -ride the regulations of the service which stood in his way. It was when King Edward wanted to /hake him a rear -admiral. So rapid had been Beatty's advancement that he had not been able to cornply with the regulation which sets forth that, !afore he can be promoted to the position of rear -admiral, a captain must serve at least six years in a time of peace. His Career ' Beatty was born in 1871. Thirteen years later he entered the navy as a midshipmen. His first real oppor- tunity to distinguish Meiself came in the Soudan in 1898, and lie lost no time in proving his bravery. In es- pecially trying circumstances he was quite unexpectedly called on to com- mand the gunboat flotilla and so well did he handle his little fleet that he attracted the attention of the greatest soldier of the present day, tee grim, stern Lord Kitchener, As a conse- quenceof the latter's high praise, Beatty was raised, to the position of commander, awarded the Distinguish- ed Service Order, mentioned in official despatches, given a medal and decor- ated with the Order of Medjidie, fourth. ease. Then followed a couple of Years of inaction. When the, Boxer rising lirolte out in China, young Beatty wits in the thick of it. Again he was mentioned in official despatches, awarded themedal with clasps and promoted to the rank of captain for conspicuous service. Incidentally he was wounded and laid up for some time. Upon his return to England he was taken up by King Edward. Churchill and Beatty Before Ring Edward died, Beatty hacl attracted the attention of Win- ston Churchill, who confessed to friends that what he liked about Beatty was his strong personality and the serious way in which he took his protession. There are admirals in the British navy win) have never even smelled thesmoke of the ,actuah war- fare. Beatty ie not one of those and Mr. Churchill himselii a man of action, liked Beatty's 'record of actual achievenient. When Mr. Churchill began his reforms which added to the fighting Strength of the British navy, It wee to Beatty, largely, that he went for advice. And, in order that ' lie migat have the constant counsel of the youthful rear -admiral, Churchill ma,do him his naval seeretary, Then when the work of reformation was almost completed and the hour or actualMet seemed close at hand, he launched his profege en the high seas in command of is .power • scieadron.

Got The Turning Nat of His Career A True Want Ad. Storiette. The July sunshine gilded the tiny village wieh more than its accustom- ed beauty. The breath of flowers and is subdued undercurrent of joyous anticipation pervaded the air. The white church facing the village and overlooking the emerald green [lark was the centre of activity. Inside florists and decoratoes were buey making the chnrch of pink roses. Automobiles sureounded the park and were drawn up in front of the church Well groomed men and beautifelly arowned women were everywhere in sight. People from all parts uf the cenntry had come here to celebrate the marriage of a bank presideut's daughter and a young man who had just; begtin to attain recognition in the business world. Preset:11.1y Lbe doors of the church were thrown open and the croutl drifted inside. Against the banks ef roses and festoons of green the brit- liantiv tireased women looked like huge -Mato:flies and bright Wads of paradise in a tropical garden. The bride in her long whita gown, looked like is lily among the roses. She was young and girlish mid more than one dimuied with tears as she knelt before the altar with the boyish bridegroom and repeated the solemn vows that made them Man and wife. When the cerenanty was over the company found its way armoss the paris to a noble old colonial mansion where bride and gvoo welcomed their guests anti rectal yeed congratulation s. But more interesting titan bride and groom was the man who stood beside them with his elegantly dressed wife by bis side. ale might have been the bride's older brother, so young did he look, instead of her father as he was: He was one of the youngest bank Kest dents in the country and already a recognized financial power. After the reception I found myself standing beside the man on the broad verandah overlooking the beautiful grounds of his estate. Then I asked the man whose brain and energy had niade this beautiful pageant if possible "There isn't much to tell," lee said modestly. "1 came from a small town in Northern New York and wept to work in a mill vvhen. I was 17 years old. My wages were $4,75 a week. I wens to evening school and learned stenography and ,booking. Bye- and. bye I asked for a place in the office .05 the mill, and got it. But I wanted a better place and more pay so I kept my eyes and ears open. The turning point in my life came when I saw mu ad in the Want Columns of a paper which read; Wanted—A young man in is bank.' I omswerd the ad and got the place. The pay was not much, but 11 meant so much in the encl. Scan see now that there is no better way to start than by means of taking advantage of Went Ad opportunities. 13u8 the chance ob- tained must be aided by the man. He must be self-reliant and worth 1110re titan his job. To make a long story' short, I learned thorcughly every branch ef the banking business' and now have many other interests beside, but I do .not consider that I have played my limit yet,' and the shrewd brown eyes eeerned to narrow as his thought concentrated on some new business pre ject. The picture of that wedding day is ,fresh in my mind. It was part of a successful business career., , But more vivid is, the recollection of the man who was the power behind the throneand whose career was deter mined by answering an ad in the Want Columns. .

There was inspiration in the very atmosaheee of the store. But how should 5 pass that inspiration along to the public?

PIPES THE INDIANS MADE A Red Stone Could be Carved When First Dug I will tell you how the Indians made their pipes and about the materials they used. There is a bright red stone which, when taken from the quarry, is so soft tnat the Indians could carve It with their knives. They carved the stone while the material was soft. Once placed in the air the stele:. became hard and brittle. Later the Indians found a black stone which was eoft enough for carving. This, too, they used in making pipes. And this stone could be polished like marble. Stems for the pipes were made of wood. Some jstems were round, others were flat; some were ornamented with porcupine quills and others with bird feathers or tufts of horse hair. Some of :the pipes were used for everyday smoking. Others only, when the tribe prayed to the Great Spirit.—Major Newell.
