November 11-16-1912 The Underwood Typewriter Again proved conclusively in a public demonstration its superior qualities in Accuracy Incorporated Operated for eight solid hours (continuously) by eight of the world's fastest typists, in half- hour relays, one Underwood Typewriter (taken from stock) produced the magnificent total of 55,944 words, averaging nearly 10 strokes per second. The crucial test of stability was here shown. No- where, at any time, has a typewriter turned out such a tremendout amount of work in the same time. This is a world's record.

Home of Spruce Beer, A popular beverage on the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, particular larly among the bank fishermen, is spruce beer. The neighboring New- foundlanders probably introduced this drink among the French.

It had been a very foolish quarrel— lovers' quarrcls usually are—but Dick would not admit it so far u‘ l his part was concerned. Of course Eloise had been foolish in thinking = he would tolerate any such treatment. She was heartless and did notl | care, and he had been well within his rights in leaving as he had! But whether he had been right or! foolish, he was very lonely now. Cat- tle ranching has its charms, but they are not sufficient to soothe the heart that longs for a certain girl—even if the head rclated to the heart does not admit the longing. Today his mind had drifted back to her more than ever before. Perhaps this was because it was his birth- day. He pulled himself together with a jerk and pushed his horse into a gal- lop that banished all unbhappy thoughts for the time. That evening the lonely thoughts came trooping back, as he lay sprawl- ed on the grass near the ranch house. The night was beautitul, just such another as that night had been. A great loneliness filled him and he vainly tried not to think of Eloise—of Eloise and her singing. “Yes, she could sing,” he admitted grudgingly, but she was cold and cruel. She did not care—so why should I? I ought to have more pride; and | have!” he snapped, as he thought that settled it. *“She has forgotten me long ago,” he added bit- terly. Then, through the stillness, came frcm the house a few chords that struck him like a blow. He knew them g0 well. Then came a volce: “Kloise!"” he cried, leaping to his feet. “Forgotten you? Well, it forgetting be longing with all your heart—" The words were ringing clear in such a voice as has seldom been heard on land or sca. Dick sank to the ground. His legs refused to bear him. That song was for him—sung as she had sung it for him fivg years ago! Dick's heart, also, was pulsing wild- ly as the song died away and life flceded back into him. He sprang up and raced to the house. What or whom he expected to find there, he scarcely knew. What he did find was the ranch family and most of the boys crowded about a most modern singing machine. He elbowed through them, “That—that record!"” he demanded. “Let's see that last record!"” “Sure!™ sald the rancher reaching back in the cabinet for it. “Wasn't that great? I heard her sing in Den- ver Monday aight and I tried to get several of her rccords, but this is the only one, It seems she has refused to sing eanv other song for the com- penics. Funny, too, that the latest prima-donna should pick an old love song like that” Dick had grabbed the record and on it read * ‘Forgotten,’ Soprano Solo by Mlle. Elolse Remey.” He could al- most have kissed that record. “Mr. Miles,” he turned to the ranch- er, “herding is pretty slack right now. Can't you spare me for a few days?’ “Alph,” he called, “I've got to catch the midnight fiyer. WIill you ride in with me and bring back my horse?” But Dick heard none of the chaffing. His ears were ringing with the song. All the galloping way to the train, then on and on to Denver, he heard ft. | | There he found that the prima donna, | to whom America had suddenly bowed | | the knee, had gone on to San Francis- [ I co. The next train took Dick. He reached there too late to see ! her before the performance, but he sat | entranced while FEloise ! soul in wonderful | | poured out her song. Would isho forgive him? When the two faced each other, |nelther had to ask such questions. ‘Eyeu told in a’‘flash what tongues might long stumble over. “You have been such a long time l coming,” she said. | “Yes. It was my foolish pride—and { then I thought you had forgotten me | —until T heard that song.* | “I sang it for you,” she sald, sim- | ply. “Of course I love to sing, but | 1t was for you chiefly that I went into | public opera. I thought sometimes you might hear, and it you loved me, you might come back to me. Then, when the phonograph company want- ed me to sing for them I refused and then I thought that if I sang ‘Forgot- ten' as I used to sing it to you, you might hear it and at least remember | the old days.” And then she added happily, “I'm so glad I did!” Milkweed As a Food. One of the economic triumphs of the age is the utilization of waste materi | al, and the use of weeds as food staples is a phase of this triumph. | The most interesting of these new “weed foods” is milkweed, the com-| mon, wild variety, that grows in every | rocky pasture, in meadows, and by roadsides in abundance. Its large, | thiok, smooth leaves are familiar to, all, and its deep, dull pink tuft of| | flowers, and later its sced pods, filled | with delicate floss and flat brown| seeds. When it is broken off, a thick, | | white, milky juice exudes. This is, rich in nutrition. This common and | luxuriant weed is now being cultt | vated In gardens as a valuable food staple, and makes one of the most de- | liclous of vegetables. It tastes almost | exactly like asparagus, and is cooked | In much the same way as spinach. It { has been found to te rieh in natural ! ealts and nutrition, and is easily cul. | tivated. —Mrs. M. P.
