Not to Be Baked.

A comparison made by an old car
penter twenty years ago may be ap-
piled in much wider sense than he
had in mind. He was speaking of two
boys, brothers, who had been sent to
him to learn the trade. They were
bright boys, and their father, in telling
the carpenter of his pleasure at their
progress in their work, said he could
not see but one hand had done Just as
we'll as the other.
.Um-m"' said the carpenter. Il pre-
sumo to say their work looks about of
a piece, but III tell you the difference
betwiXt those two boys. You give Ed
Just the right tools, and he'll do real
good job but Cy, if he hasn't got what
he needs. he'll make his own tools, and
say nothing about it.
IF | was casted on desert island
and wanted a box opened, l should
know thered be no use asking Ed to do
it, without l could point him out a
hammer.
But Cy,'' added the old carpenter.
with a snap of his fingers The lack
of a hammer wouldn't stump that boy.
He'd have something rugged UP and
that box opened, if there was any open
to it. | expect Cy's going to march
ahead of Ed all his life"
Twenty years have proved the truth
of the words. for while the boy who
made his own tools" is rich. his broth
er is still an ordinary workman.

KEEPING YOUNG.
German Mother of Ten Did 1t with

German Mother of Ten Did It with
Her "Eom Little Maps"
The secret of prolonged youth-or a
part of the secret-seems to be reveal
ed in the modified form of "restcure"
described by Clarissa Sergeant in Har-
per's Bazaar. She pictures little Ger
man woman, the mother Of ten chill
dren.
She was as fresh in color as a girl,
her hair without touch of gray, her
face without wrinkle, and she felt. l
am sure, as she certainly looked, far
younger than 1. So asked her, final
ly
How do you keep so fresh and
young with all your great family:'
She looked at me a moment, and
then laughed her merry little laugh.
You see," she said, Il hat my Won
little naps.'
Your what?" l asked, puzzled to un-
derstand her.
MY Won little maps" she repeated
But tell me, 1 do not understand"
l said.
"Vy so,' she said, in her pretty
broken English, ''aboud twelf O'clock,
or maybe Won or maybe two, as you
like is besser, | takes de baby, vich-
ever ISIS de baby, and l goes to de room
and takes my maps"
But if the baby won't sleep at that
time?" I objected.
She shrugged her shoulders. ooh, he
sleep all right"
But there are so many things to do
while the baby sleeps" | went on.
Il vii hat my maps" was her smiling
answer.
But" l urged, 'supposing some
thing happens to the other children
while you and the baby are asleep?"
Then she did stare at me-
There could not noting happen to
dose children worse dan l not get my
Won little maps" she said, Indignantly.
l gave it up. This closed the argu-
ment.
And the writer hands on the advice
to all other tired mothers to try the
little maps, even if it upsets to a de-
gree methodical housekeeping. Method
is good, but if it comes to be a whip
which makes rest impossible, it should
be dropped.

How the Choctaws Are Faithful Unto
Death

Probably there is no other class Of peo-
pie in the world in this respect like the
Choctaws. They believe in each other as
n child believes in its mother. When one
Choctaw Indian tells another that Il Ger
tain thing will be done, it can be depend
ed upon that it will be done. This Gus
tom of turning Il prisoner loose without
bail commenced among the Choctaws
half a century ago. An Indian murdered
his sister There was no jail, and the
Choctaws had no money TO hire guard.
After the Indian judge had sentenced
him to be shot, the former said: Now
Won can go free until your execution day.
Then | want you to come without being
told. If you fail to obey it will disgrace
your family" The Indian gave his
promise and appeared at the appointed
time. Ever since then it has been the
custom IL allow condemned Indians to
run loose. Never but once has prison
or failed to come freely and alone to his
execution. The number of Indians thus
shot within the last half-century Is over
one hundred-Leslc's Weekly.
