PRETTY LEGEND OF NIAGARA
How the Great Lakes Joined In .Their
Wondrous Leap Over the Fa- , ,
moua Ridge,
. In old, old times, on the highest
penlt of n gniit mountain, there dwelt
a hunter nnd his five sparkllug daugh
ters. Their lodge wus of bright befilla
hiirk mid on' clear days they could see
the distant ocean flushing ; like a sliver
hand. "Come out! Come out!" cried
tho youngest daughter,' the-little Kr.
"Come Su! Come llu! Come Ml ! Come
Cln! (The names stand In order for
Erie, Superior, Huron, Michigan and
St. -Clair).. Let us away- to. the sen,
whore the foaming breakers roar !" So
they left, their, lodso nnd leaped and
song with happy hearts. Their robes
were of blue and chrysolite green nnd
floated on the breeze. Their raocenslns
were of frown water drops and their
wings of painted wind. And they scam
pered and romped across the plain or
floated beneath the sky, or rushed past
vnlley nnd hill nnd field, Hindus nnd
shouting with glee. :At last they enme
to a precipice of jagged rocks' and
moss. "Alas!" cried Er, "what a dread
ful leap! But we have come so far
that we must go on -or our father w.111

Come Mil Come Cln I and follow me!"
So over the steep they sprang nnd
floated down on their pnlnted wings.
They leaped and they sang like happy.
henrted birds. Then the little Er cried :
"Let us up nnd down the steep again !"
And up . nnd down the five maids'
skipped and lunched at the sport nnd

ROOM FOR ; MANY MILLIONS
Vast Spaces of Siberia That Have Yet
, to Be Surveyed and Exploited
by Man.
The biggest and loneliest land on
tho globe Is Siberia, of which nt the
present moment there Is so much talk,
says London Answers; Any one who
would set about Its conquest by In
vasion would find the task a herculean
one, for It ..contains nearly five mil
lion square miles, nnd Is about 43
times as big ns the British Isles 1
In these vnst spaces there Is n popu
.Intlon less than London cnntnlns by a
couple of millions, and there are hun
dreds of thousands of square miles of
territory where no human being Is to
be seen. The mighty rivers of Siberia
are almost rendered useless by the
fact that they flow mostly Into the
Arctic ocenn, nnd their lower courses
nre Icebound durinj! the greater part
of the year, and their mouths ore nt
all times very difficult of access. Arc
tic Siberia Is a vnst country In Itseif,
but very Inhospitable. .
Siberia. It Is said. Is destined to be
the granary of the world: and the
opening of the railway across Its en
tire breadth has certalny done much
to develop Its resources.

-.-American. bdys have .the nicest

any one in tho world, we have de

ed in tho most surprising and un
usual' ways you would never guess
what some of them are.
Wo have had a keen ' collection
of notos from the trenches, moat
of them In answer to batches , of
doughnuts we, sent out to boys' on
duty. They aro written on 'scraps
of paper, backs . of envelopes, or
anything,-though some of them are
very carerully written on the nicest
paper.'; We aro apprised to get
the latter from the trenches.
We will have to got up a bonk
of notep. from the trenches after
the, war,'vfor gems , come In among
liiem. Borne are in poetry. :. Imag

One, of the favorite ways , among
tho boys of saying' thank you is
to gather up souvenirs' and Bend

lodion of them now that we will
always delight In, and we wouldn't
part wMth any of them.' We have
lots of shells of all sizes,, with the

of them have been' made Into vases
