A GRAMMATICAL PUZZLE.
BY GLADYS RALsToN BRTTToN.

1t was recess at the village school, and the
boys and girls were making the most Of
that short Is minutes by laughing, talking
and eating all at once.
Would you han this in?" questioned
small miss between her bites of golden
gingerbread, holding to view a composition
with an ink spot decorating the center.
mo- unless you do 1t over, you know
what'll happen" was the answer, accom-
panied by wise nod.
Say" queried little boy "Alice Wilcon,
junction means what?"
Don't bother me, Dick. Oh, there's Emily
and Dorothy! Say, girls, do you remember
the city we were to write about?"
eyes, it's Dover, but don't know what
to write; come in and let's help each other. "
Their place under the chestnut tree was
soon taken by another group of youngsters.
"Can you spell pronunciation asked
one.
"P-r-o-no-unice-I've forgotten?'
do you love school? When it closes I'm
glad!'

Here is q trick that is very effective one
10 use at a party, and, although it appears
very strange to the spectators when vel
performed, still it is most simple. Take
pesteboard hat box and cut a circular hole
four or five inches in diameter in the center
sf the cover. Get two pads of blotting paper,
zach composed Of six or eight pieces. Place
the box on a table facing the company and
ten them that you are about to make some
ghosts for them-one for each.
Take the pad Of plotting paper into another
room and then pour on one small quantity
Of muriatic acid and on the other a similar
quantity Of aqua ammonia, both Of which
Tou can get very eheaply at any drug store.
Be very careful to keep the two pads from
touching each other. Carry them into the
SOON and put thom in the box one on top Of
me other, clapping on the cover of the box
at once. The box will Immediately become
aAed with thick white cloud.
Now turn the box over so that the hole
n the cover is pointed directly at one Of
the party. Tap the box sharply on both
sides at the same time with your hands
and q ghostly white ring win come out Of

The first time he went for them he took Don
along for company, and the first COW Don
spied was the one that had tossed him out
of the barn. He went up to her politely and
asked her how she felt that evening, but she
evidently did not feel WELL for she frowned
terribly and galloped at Don as hard as she
could, with her horns lowered until they
pointed straight at him. Don did not like
the look Of those horns, and he started for
home as fast as he could run to see If supper
was ready. The COW galloped after, but she
could not run nearly SO fast as Don, and he
easily got away
The next evening Don went again with
the small boy to bring in the cows. and this
time his particular enemy was waiting for
him. She Immediately gave chase, and Don
ran just fast enough to keep out of reach
of her horns. She followed him clear to the
barnyard, where he jumped through the bars
of a gate and escaped. He repeated this
for several days, and the COW would always
pursue him madly as long as he was any
where near her.
After a time Don formed bad habit Of
going out into the field in the daytime and
getting the COW to chase him. He would
run to a fence and slip through or over
the rails, but the poor COW, in trying to get
through or over, would crash into the fence,
breaking it to pieces. She never learned
that there was no chance Of her catching
Don, for he would artfully keep just few
feet ahead of her, barking and fourishing
his tail in a most provoking way. At last
the COW broke so many fences in her useless
pursuit of Don that the farmer sold her and
ended Don's fun in this direction.

stand between them, by binding first the
projecting ends Of the frames to the end OF
the six-foot stick with copper wire, then
the Characterization crosspiece, then
the ends of the frames on the other side.
The wire in these places should be wound
just as tightly as you can do it, and when
this is done your sail is ready for a trial, as
in figure 3.
You can sail beautifully with this wher-
ever there is a smooth, open space that the
wind will strike, such as the paths in some
of the parks or level road that has not
too many wagons to make it safe.
You can steer yourself by pointing your
feet in the direction you want to go, and IL
you are going at high speed directly be-
fore the wind you can easily stop when you
wish by turning your sails edgeways to the
breeze. You can use this sail for both ice
and roller skating, although, Of course. it
will work much better on ice, for then you
will have plenty Of space to sail about in,
no one to run into and nothing to obstruct
the wind.

October 6, says: Today has been OBJ

the president had been shot. The
Seattle. papers gave the details. The
newsboys did not have to go far to dis
pose Of them at 25 cents a copy. In
half an hour after the arrival the en-
tire camp was thrown into a state of
excitement; then a deep gloom settled
down on the entire population.

SHORTAGE OF MEN.

The Minneapolis journal comments
on the shortage of men for work in
the northwest. The Journal says:
In North Dakota 100 to $50 men are
wanted Immediately for work in the
Ignite coal mines ait Washburn. e.
c. Washburn, general manager Of the
Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls
railway, which has developed the coal
fields, says the company is unable to
get men ait any price. Wages of So,

ting men is a serious one. I'VE keep

efforts We cannot get a sufficient num-
Der. We could put 100 more. men at

The Minneapolis Journal calls at
tention to the fact that the 500 road
runs through the heart of the coal re-
gion in this state, and that the coal
business promises to become a profit
able one for the railways. This re-
minds us that the. Soo's Bismarck ex-
tension, if extended to the capital city,
would tap another Ignite country, and
no doubt the 500 road, in the spring
but there!

any decision on judgment rendered by
him. Now he comes forward as one
of the chief witnesses against Moves.
The whole of his testimony is of such

easy it is for him to change his be-
liefs--when his interests are, on the
other side. " ~ Ut l Tt
