this farthest from the hole to the stern of your boat, six inches In front of the end, so that the board leans bnck at sharp angle with the hole directly ever the paddle wheel. Then nail narrow strips an inch wide from the top of the board to the sides of the rear end of the strips which project behind the paddle wheel, as in figure 6, and your boat Is complete, all but the engine.
 The motive power is supplied by making a stout funnel of heavy brown wrapping paper, that should be six inches in diameter five inches from Its smaller end. The open ing in the smaller end should be one inch in diameter. Fill this with sand and place 1t in the hole through the board extending up- ward and backward from the deck, so that the lower end of the funnel Is directly above the forward blade of the paddle wheel, as in figure '. The sand pouring out of the funnel will start the paddle wheel, force 1t around, and your boat will glide through the water delightfully."-. The beauty of this craft Is that 1t can be sailed in water six inches deep.

EXAGGERATING SALLIE.
 A FUNNY FAIRY FABLE.
BY FRANK STARK.

There was once a little girl living in a small village, and her name was Sallie. When Sal1ie was asleep there was no better girl for miles around, but when she was awake she did not do a thing but exaggerate. When she said anything was high, fit was higher than the sky;" when 1t was deep,
 it was deeper than the ocean," and when 1t was big, ''it was bigger than all outdoors" If she bumped her head the lump was larger than pumpkin, and if she cut her finger and t bled a few drops, ''it bled bucketful"
 There was baby born near where they iived and Sallie went with her mother to see It. Then Sallie went all over the village telling every one that the baby was so small that you could hardly see it. The whole village-men, women and children-rushed to see this wonderful sight, but when they saw 1t 1t was just an ordinary little baby.
 People were getting pretty tired of Salle's congregations, and at last she was punished
 One day Sallie was playing In an orchard back of the house, when tive-just five blackbirds lit upon one of the trees and made a great noise. Salie ran to the Kitchen, where she found the cook and the cooks aunt. The cooks aunt was witch, ever so old and very feeble. "Oh!" called Sallie "come out into the orchard A mill ion blackbirds have lit among our cherry trees and are eating up all our cherriesr'
 The old witch, in spite of her pains and aches, Insisted on going out 10 see "a million backbirds,'' and, with the assistance of the cook and the help of her crutch man. aged to hobble to the orchard. When the old witch got there she counted just five blackbirds, and was very angry. Turning to Sallie, she said: 'I will teach you not to fool another old woman. From now on everything you say will be true.'
 That kind of frightened Salie, and for two whole days she did not exaggerate cnce. The third day was Sunday. Sallies mother had bought her a new pair of stockings When she put them on they were a little bit too large. Sallie did not say anything about it until she was all dressed and ready to start to church. Then, the stockings feel ing uncomfortable, in exasperation she cried out: "Oh, mother, my stockings are mile too long!'
 When Sallie had gone some distance to- ward the chnrch she felt something dra gging at her feet. She looked down and saw her stockings were growing out of her shoes Sailie did not know what to do, but seeing the stockings trailing a long distance be- hind, was ashamed to turn back. Poor Sallie never knew how she managed to drag herself to church and into her pew But she did 1t somehow. The congregation con- ing in stumbled over Sallles stockings jerk ing her feet this way and that way. Sallie had to remove her shoes and pull off the little bit of stockings she had on her limbs. Then she put her shoes on her bare feet.
 When the services were over Sallie waited until everyone had left the church. Then

she crept out. There were her stockings twisting all around inside of the church, and when she was on the church porch she could see them stretching away down the street, with crowds examining them and wonder ing what they could be.
 No sooner did Sallie step out Of the church than some children said: Look at Sallie, without any stockings and little further on some more children cried out: See Sal lie has no stockings.' Then some grown people said: 'Salie, why in the world don't you wear your stockings?"
 Salle, filled with shame, commenced to run and ran all the way home, but as she .an she could hear everyone say: Look at Sallie without any stockings! When she arrived at home breathless she told her mother all about 1t. Then, bursting into tears, sobbed: "Oh, mother, shall cry'-- and then she stopped. She was going to say cry my eyes out, but she did not do it. She laid her head in her mothers lap; her troubles had made 1t ache. Poor Sallie looked up through her tears and said: "Oh, mother, my head is''- then she stopped She was going to say, My head is burstng," but she didn't do it. Sallie had learned les son, and from that time on she never told anything that was not true.

he was pushing and pulling his hardest Brother Rabbit knocked out the stone wedges, the rock flew shut and there was Judge Bear caught fast by the hands and feet Then the Rumble Bees came flying out and stung him terribly.
 "Goodby, old honey chops," cried Brother Rabbit. Be sure and have me served in honey sauce when you cook me for the cubs dinner" and he took Judge Bears pail of blueberries and went home.
 When he found he could not escape Judge Bear howled and cried, but no one came. For hours he was held fast, his back bent into regular bow, until he got terrible crick in his back, and everybody knows that when animals get cricks In their backs from being bent over they can never straighten up again for any length of time. So finally, when, hours later, Mir. Wolf heard Judge Bears cries and pried the rock apart letting him loose, Judge Bear found he could not straighten up, but had to walk on all fours He was so angry at this that he made Mrs Bear and the cubs walk on all fours, too, and all bears walk that way to this day.

 "That would be delicious,'' said Judge Bear, but we haven't any honey"
 "Take me down to the split rock" begged Brother Rabbit, land I will get the honey for you myself" So Judge Bear took him by the neck and carried him down to the split rock, just where they had seen the Rumble Bees the day before.
 We must pry the rock apart" said Brother Rabbit. Help me get long pole.'' So they got a long pole and put one end in the crack of the rock. Then they stood on top and Judge Bear pried it apart, while Brother Rabbit put in wedges of stone to keep 1t from springing back. They worked and worked, and finally they got the rock pried open about foot. Then the pole broke all to pieces and they could not pry any more. We have 1t going.' cried Brother Rabbit to Judge Bear. Tt Is almost ready to break apart now. Put your hands and feet In the crack and push and pull, while put in more wedges and we shall soon have the finest honey you ever tasted.'
 So Judge Bear put his hands and feet In the crack and pushed and pulled, and when

Then why don't you get one of your own, instead of sneaking around after your neigh bor's?' said Squire OK; 'go away before hook you" Judge Bear had not a word to say, and he went away very angry. When he reached the rock and found Brother Rabbit had gone with the pail of honey he was fu- rious. He hunted everywhere for the thief, but could find no trace of him. and at last went home and scolded Mrs. Bear and cuffed the cubs
 The next day he was picking blueberries, when he came across Brother Rabbit, fast asleep in the blueberry patch. and beside him the very pail that had held Judge Bears honey, full of blueberrles. Brother Rabbit was awakened by two huge paws squeezing him almost to death, and looked up to see Judge Bear licking his chops over him. "I was just bringing back your pail,'' cried Brother Rabbit, frightened almost to death. Just as you left me, Squire OK came along and tried to steal your honey, and I had to run away with 1t to save it. I ran so fast
The age-herald., 1901-09-02

that I spilled all the honey, and I started to bring 1t back today and filled it with all these nice bueberries for you"
 Judge Bear growled and showed his great long teeth. The shivers ran up and down Brother Rabbits back so fast that he shook all over. 'You can't fool me- said Judge Bear. I'm going to put stop to your tricks right now. You are going to furnish nice little dinner for the cubs. How would you like to be cooked?'
 will you grant my last request?" asked Brother Rabbit with tears in his eyes Judge Bear said that he would think about it. '"Then cook me in honey" said Brother

 The rock Is too heavy to move," he said 'and l don't see any way of getting under it."
 You must go over to Squire Oxs house across the field, and borrow a pick and shovel,' said Brother Rabbit, "and we'll dig hole down to where the honey Is stored I will stay here and watch your pail until you come back"
 So Judge Bear started across the field to Squire Ox's house, and as soon as he was out of sight of Brother Rabbit took the pail of honey and run up the road as fast as he could go He met Squire OK, who was just coming from market sRun to your house,

WHY BEARS WALK ON ALL TOURS,
By Raymond Fuller Ayers.

One day as Judge Bear was going home with large pail of honey he had got from a bee tree in the woods, he met Brother Rabbit. who asked him what he had that smeiied so good In the pail. Honey" re- piled Judge Bear; "and mighty long walk I've had for such little bit too. The pail is only half full"
 Why do you go so far for If when there Is some right near your honse?" asked Brother Rabbit. Judge Bear replied that he was not fond of walking, but that he had cleaned out every bee tree within five miles oI ms house. As they walked along to- gether, Brother Rabbit offered to show him place where he could fill his pail ouite easiiy and still have plenty for another time. At last they came to q large rock

 With a below of rage Squire OK galloped off to his house. while Brother Rabbit ran as fast as he could go with the pail of honey
 ''Get away from my house, cried Squire OK, as he caught up to Judge Bear who was quite near the door. This is nice business for a respectable bear like you, to come sweeping around in this way. It's lucky Brother Rabbit met me in time.''
