and men of the Texas to offer silent
thanks to Him.
This incident was in keeping with
the life OF the rear admiral for he was

Of the Bible. He never offered liquor

Certainly Anna did care for all of her

failure while Lena bent lower over her
desk and said nothing. She felt that
she had lost friend while she had
gained point In her class.

feeling Of antag0nism. and when the

Bert Wallace has whole row Of col
ored glass tumblers which he has made
himself. He didn't blow them. nor
mold them, according to the best
known methods Of glassmaking-he
simply cut them down from old bottles.
And they make very useful and ser
viceable tumblers, too.
Bert didn't own a diamond glass
point nor steel glass wheel and SO he
cut the bottles with clay pipe stem.
Seems odd, doesn't It, But any boy
who wants to cut glass-and where IL
the boy who doesn't?-can do 1t with
out the least difficulty.
Bert learned that II a piece OF glass
or bottle contains ever SO small
