ooh, Jack! it's just lovely! And-oh
-oh-lve got something!" and Polly,
her bright face growing sweetly solemn,
stepped to the old bureau and opened
her most precious possession - an old
box which held her peculiar treasures.
Here's four of mothers hairpins,"
she said, solemnly. "Ive saved 'em,
but they'll be just the thing to fas
ten down the headstone-better than
bits of wood"
The children could hardly sleep from
excitement. Bright and. early they
were about, stopping moment to gaze
rapturously on ''the headstone," and
to water the precious rosebush, which
any florist would have admired, SO per-
feet were the buds and roses. Then
Jack started out to black boots and
attend to one: or two furnaces, while
Polly washed dishes and tidied rooms
for three different families, receiving
five cents from each. At noon they
were ready to start, the roses care
fully wrapped within the headstone,
lest the sun wilt them, the flags carried
by Polly.
1t was long, long walk to Ever
green's; but the children's rent was
due in two days, and they dared not
spend money on car fare. On they
trudged, the thought of the honor to
be done to grandpa keeping Polly's
tired feet going. But before they had

delighted with his progress.

!pension? l think whole bushel of
buds wouldn't be too much!''
Jack was glad Polly did not know
about the ten-cent flag he could have
got; he had thought five cents enough
to spare out of their scanty earnings,
when making the purchase; but after
shat speech he felt small. What if he
were but bootblack, earning most
precarious living, and Polly making
only an odd dime now and then by
.scrubbing floor or tending children
for the neighbors? Jack wishedhe had
done more for his Undergraduates!
But thought struck him.

real clear, and I'll print real nice head
stone, and We'll fix it down on the
grave. and folksIl see it Tor that day,
anyway"
That's splendid; you do it, and I'll
get supper
Jack rushed out for stiff brown pa
per and ink. and the kind ,shopkeeper,
who knew the children, learning what
he intended to do, gave him two large
sheets OF MANILA paper and showed
him how to use the grease crayon,"
thereby saving the boy from innumer-
able spatters of ink. Jack purchased
the ten-cent flag on the. spot and re-
turned with his prize.

the flag; that's my buds!"

And SO, much earlier than they ex-
pected, Jack and Polly had decorated
the old soldiers grave. The brown
paper was carefully pinned down with
the long wire hairpins, Polly kissing
each one before she used it-how often
mother had used them to fasten up
the long brown hair of which the chill
dren were SO proud! The flags were
placed at the foot, the roses at the

MAKING BOER ..RE1MS. !"
How Hides Are Turned Into Thongs
for South African OK
Wagons.

One OF the Strangest things which
strike the eye on casual visit to
Boer farm is q curious structure. not
far from the homestead, standing up
against the skyline like a gigantic gal
lows, says the London Mail. There is d
stout, roughly hewn tree planted fair
and square in the ground. From this is
crossbeam in the center Of which is
large iron hook. Directly under
meath this, on the ground, is huge
stone about eighteen inches to two
feet in height.
But it is not a gallows. 1t is simply
the farm ''briepaal," CIR braying poles.
wherein the oxhides are treated and
turned into those remarkably service
able ''reims" or strips of leather thong,
which form an indispensable staple of
the outfit of every South African OK
wagon.
This is the method of preparing the
"reims." After the dead oxen have
been skinned the pelts are spread on
the bare ground and allowed to dry
with the under side uppermost to the
scorching hot sun. After some days
preparation of this kind they are
brought by the Kafir 'boys'' to the
braying poles. Having been soaked in
water, or preferably brine and water,
for some little willie, and the hair be-
ing still on them the pelts are some
what limp and extraordinarily elastic.
The skin is roughly trimmed into an
oval shape.
The Boer farmer then pulls out
sharp knife, and from the outer edge
inward commences to cut the skin into
a circular strip of about an inch and
half in width.
AS a rule a full-sized oxhide yields
one long continuous strip one and
one-half inches in width and seventy
yards in length. A second hide is thus
treated in exactly the same way and
the two ends are knotted together
with the particular form of knot
known to sailors, which the more you
pull it the tighter it becomes.
The whole length of 40 yards of raw
hide ribbon is then stretched to it's full
est length. When it is fully stretched
it is Topped up in huge hank, which is
of great weight.
It resembles nothing so much as a
great skein of Berlin wool ready to be
wound up into ball for knitting.
On one end of this hank is passed
over the iron hook in the crossbeam of
the braying poles; while the other end
of the hank is tied by ''reims," already
seasoned, to the heavy stone immedi-
ately under the hook. The stone is
then laboriously twisted round and
round, and the raw hide is naturally
twisted in the same degree, the weight
causing the strain to become greater
and greater. At last there is an end to
the possibilities of twisting, the resist
ance becoming too great. and all hands
let go the stone, which unwinds with
great velocity.
This, in brief, is the braying process
and nothing remains to make the per-
feet ''reim,' except that the whole
strip has to be well creased with NUT
ton fat, preferably made from the tail
Of what is known out there as the
"fat-tailed' sheep.
