"Wlion tlio beaver was brought Into

And did tlio lumbermen when they
heard the nuws. All lieeause they had
been iryiiitf to trap a beaver for weeks
not for Its fur, but for Its tall, a

Uill soup. Tho cook took that broad
appendiiKe of tho beaver, mailed like

such a soup as ieyer came from any
other stock at the beck of the most

but ho lack one thins. Wo haven't
