CARPENTRY FOR BOYS.
A Too! Chest.

A tool chest is a simple thing to make,
and there is really no good reason why
every boy should not have one of his own.
Almost any kind of a box with a hinge
cover will answer for tool chest, in which
trays can be arranged to hold lacks, nails
and small tools, such as bits, gimlets, COM
passes and nail punches.
The illustration shows a good and SUBJ

box carefully Of the size given and nail the
top, or cover, on he same the bottom,
then with rip saw cut all around the sides

a sort of edging all around the lower part

them form a base all around the bottom

chain to keep the cover from falling back

Two Naughty Children

The Lady's Pictorial has the following:
81 heard an amusing story the other day.
It told me by one of our best known
writer's. He said that a little niece of his
had been a very naughty little girl, and
her aunt had to punish her very severely.
When she came to say her prayers at
night her little mind was still full of wrath
against her aunt, but yet the child did not
quite like to leave name out of her
evening devotions, so she compromised
matters by saying: Pray God! bless father
and mother etc. then after a long pause
she added and bless Aunt Julia, too-but

Eere wander back again,
In the joyous paths OF Old;
T have roamed the world in vain
Bearer places to behold.
The morning sun is shining
The birds their chorus swell,
And loudly breaks on the summer air
The peal Of the old school DELL.
Now sweet thoughts fill my heart
Of our schoolboy's happy days
From the loved ones far apart
On the scenes | love to gaze.
In dreams I've heard repeated
My schoolmates last farewell,
While thro the air I fancy
I hear the old school bell.
T will roam the world no more
Every distant shore goodby.
Peace and rest | see in store.
Here I'll linger till I die;
With loving hearts to cheer me,
I'll feel lifeS sweetest spell,
While clear and bleSt, comes the tone OF
rest,
When I hear the old school bell.

murder was the result OF an attempt to commit
highway robbery.
Bell and Campbell were arrested and the lat
er made statement blaming his partner for
the murder
Belps trial proved quite sensational. Rich
relatives IN The East came 10 the mans rescue
and engaged eminent counsel including Brady,
the leading criminal lawyer of Chicago, TO de-
feDd him. Ii was i'll this case that the Rev. L.
Chalmers EasIon also became involved.
During the progress of the trial Campbell, the
chief witness for The prosecution, did many
queer things. One day he would solemnly Dr.
clare Bells innocence and The next day just as
solemny affirm his gull. Then finally he
packed up his things and ran away 10 Chicago
where later on he was caught and returned TO
this city.
BelPs trial resulted in disagreement OF the
jury. The authorities then prosecuted lin on
several charges OF burglary and succeeded III
having a sixty-year sentence in San Quentin
imposed upon BIN.
The charge of murder will be dismissed to-
day because the District Attorney feels that 1t
would be impossible TO secure a conviction.
Bells troubles cost his relatives $40, 600.
