Boy Scouts and Residents Covered Every Foot of Ground For Miles About--The Unravelling .of ° the Mystery. Sharbot. Lake, Aug. good heart of Sharbot Lake stirred to its' very depth this morn- ing, when, on arising at the ugual was the disappeatance of two boys, aged short distance from here. The children were last seen near their home at 8 p.m. on Monday evening, playing near the railway, and as darkness came on they did not re- turn home some anxiety was felt on their behalf. A search was made, 'which, however, falled to reveal their whereabouts. Then anxiety gave place to alarm, and as the night advanced willing. searchers joined the company, tramping along the railway and through the bush until daybreak. ' The deep concern of the village on learning of the occurrence can perhaps be more readily imagined than described, and it needed only that the news should be circulated to ensure the presence of a large army of searchers. Men and boys of all ages left their respective em- ployments and went to the scene of action. A dozen Boy Scents, who happened to be holiday-making on one of the islands, readily offered their assistance, and with their help every inch of the bush was carefully gone over, but still no news. Many were the theories advanced as to their probable whereabouts. Some thought they might have boarded a rasging train, others suggested an automobile, whilst many began to cast their thoughts on the bear which had been seen in the district of late, and the presence of the lake gave rise to fears of an equally alarming nature, Noon came, and the mystery thickened. The wires had been busy all the morning, but no comforting word had been received. The only thing certain was that, as the Scouts had made such a systematic search of the bush and lake . shore for mtles round they could not poss- ibly .be near home. It was admitted on all sides to be the greatest mystery ever heard of, but this was poor consolation, and not calculated to bring a satisfac tory solution. However, later in the afternoon one of the tired searchers heard a rather unusual sound proceeding from one of the barms, and on in- vestigation, discovered Lwo pairs of tiny feet half hidden beneath the hay, the removal of which revealed two whole, live and very hungry boys not one whit the worse being the cause of so much wasted energy, so many alarming reports, and such widespread consternation. 1 LIQUOR IN POTATO BARRELS. 591 Bottles Consigned to Italian Fruit Merchant. 'Welland; Aug. 28.Officer W-: W. Wilson, of the Customs staff, captured fourteen barrels of liquor, which was concealed by having a covering of potatoes over each bar- rel.

An old flea-bitten, hammer-headed. ewe-wecked bell mare, slowly pleking hor way across the corral at the re- mount station at Camp Zachary Taylor, followed by a long string of mules walking In single file, heads down and ears wagging, served as {llustration for an officer attached to the big can- tonment who had just finished remark- ing 'that "horse nature and mule na- ture and human nature were mighty contrary things any way 'you take them." "Now, take those mules," he sald. "The education of a pack mule is a thing that must begin early. He has Just two purposes In life. "One is to carry 225 pounds day after day patiently and uncomplain- ingly, und the other is to follow the bell mare of the train, regardless of where that animal may go, Well, there is in that gorral an illustration of the 'effectiveness of our training. The old mare has started after a drink of water and there goes every dad-blasted one of those fool mules after a drink of water." Investigation revealed that the pack mule Is not the only member of his family that has peculiarities that can be played upon or must be humored. It was learned that the larger mules, once teamed up or palred, must there- after be worked together if each is not to suffer a loss in efficiency. Two strange mules will not work together anything like so well in the beginning as they will a few weeks later, after they have become well acquainted, and then if they are parted the whole process must be gone over with again. GOOD COOK TO BE ENVIED Always Sure of Popularity Is the Per son Who Can Concoct Dishes That Are Appetizing. To prove that there is nothing In- trinsically humble or shamefu! in cook Ing it is only necessary to mention a hunting or fishing party. The man who can turn out a palatable dish is envied and lauded. The college girl who can concoct midnight suppers over a can of frozen alcohol or a gas jet Is sure of popularity. Many of the great of the earth have practiced cooking as an accomplishment, Louis XV, one of the extremest connoisseurs In the art of living, prided himself on his coffee. One of the most famous of table sauces was invented by a gentleman of Wor- cestershire. Many great ladles of the olden times used to exchange recipes. Sir Kenelem Digby, an adventurous and scholarly soul, left a fat volume full of 'them, ranging from simple ap- ple sauce to the most refined elabo- ration of game. It is not even necedsary that cook- ery should aspire to the phase called "fancy" to be artistic. Above all, the sauce, that idol of the professional chef, should be dethroned from its bad eminence. The sauce is the mother of nightmaces. © The dish itself and not its accompaniments, is the thing. Cook- ing Is real, cooking is earnest, and the gravy Is not its goal.--Exchange. Spruce Used In Airplanes. Because the government needs all the spruce for airplanes, the plano. manufacturers of the country are hav- fog a hard time to get sounding boards for their Instruments. Spruce Is the best wood the piano manufacturers can get for this purpose and they have used it In many years. But sounding boards and airplane beams call for the same quality of stock--clear, straight-grained, tough- fibered and free from blemishes. In thelr desire to assist the government in airplane construction the plano manufacturers have agreed to curtxil thelr output 30 per cent during the war, They can get along with the spruce stock now on hand for some time, they say. Meanwhile they will try to find a substitute for spruce. Sev- eral of the big spruce producing mills in the Grays Harbor district of Wash- ington and along the Columbia river in Oregon that always have made a specialty of plano stock now are giv- ing thelr attention to airplane mate rial, ¥ v - : Darkness Above the Sky.
