There are blit few of the patients in
these hospitals who can pay anything
toward thole keep. There Is not one for
whom the whole 0000, 00 maintenance is

to many thousands of dollars a year,
these institutions must look to the

Joe 'Minnick was in debt to grandfa-

coming to Minn. and also to help Joe
out grandfather engaged him to cut 11
some weed in the timber section about
a mile from the home place. Old Joe
lived only a 'guile farther on from
grandfather's, but, as it was custom-

The family 'had already ,finished the

clearing the dishes away when the old

pared the extra meal, and, since it was
a mile to the timber, she put up a-

East.hc said to Mother, "Susan, if you
will put the dinner on the table, 'I will
eat it now, for I don't like cold vic-
tuals."
;Mother did so, and when he had
eaten .he turned to her and said,
"Now, Susan, if you will get any sup-
per for me, !I cols eat it her and now,
and then T won't 'have to walk all this
way back before going honk."
Mother immediately cooked old
Joe's supper and spread it 'before :him.
He ate with avidity, and after this
third meal he turned to,grandfather
and said, "'Isaac; •I never wort: after
eating my supper, Good evening."
And away went the shiftless old fel-

lect the debt.

little ponds 40 feet across at distances
of 410 and 000' miles; and, finally, a
little seepage one foot across at a
distance of 800 miles fr0rll the central

Such a desert would be 00 forbid-

we take this central lake to be the

be the planets, such a desert would
'furnish a fairly accurate picture of our
solar system, the earth being the
