intending the milking. He tore down the lane. as dogs will, to meet the other dog. There was fight at once. The COW stood nerves; let go her heels; over went pail and milkmaid, and she flew down the lane.
 The next thing seen from the window was two dogs fighting furiously, the COW charg- ing madly between, the horses rearing; the ladies, wild with fright, striking out right lowed by the COW, flew round and round the sleigh in q perfect whirlwind of snow.
 One day the mother of John started for a walk to the centre of the town. Rover thought he'd like to go, too, but was ordered back. He turned and went, dutifully, into the pasture and Johns mother considered the incident closed. Alasl the pasture gate was not closed. The dog knew very well that he and his friend must not approach at once, so they ambled along until far enough to become bold, when he left the road and took to the sidewalk. The COW also thought the sidewalk better and fol- lowed him. When a considerable distance rom nome tne dog came up pretty close. The first thing the poor lady noticed was that she seemed to be attracting consider able attention, and the next was the tramp of hoofs upon the plank sidewalk behind her. She turned to face the dog and the COW, surrounded by crowd of amused pedestrians and small boys. No amount of driving or coaxing would get them back. When Rover saw that he was discovered he bolted to the front, the COW after him, and left the mother with the crowd.
 There being nothing else to do, she turned about and went home. The dog dutifully turned and trotted at her heels, and the COW trotted at the dogs heels, the three forming an interesting procession-so very interest Ing that certain of the small boys joined.

HoW to makq a Tree Climber.

About this time of the year young people begin to make preparations for gathering the autumn harvest of nuts. There are great many ways of doing this, and nutting parties will always be popular from the varieties of ways that can be employed in securing the nuts, all of which are great fun, besides the keen pleasure of roaming through the woods in the bracing, spicy autumn air.
 Frequently the nuttlng party chance across chestnut, hickory or walnut tree that Is so large and has branches so far from the ground that it seems impossible to get the nuts, for the tree Is too large to shin up, the branches are far out of reach, and vigorous clubbing only brings down a very few nuts, although the branches may be loaded with them. In such cases the party generally go to another and smaller tree, although they are bound to regret leaving those nuts on the monarch of the woods that seemed to laugh at them. If one of the boys could only have reached those lower branches, what showers of nuts he would have shaken downl
 will enable you to climb any nut tree you may find, and if you use use 1t you will find 1t responsible for many a full basket.
 Take a strip of leau CT about three inches wide and eight inches long. Stitch the ends together as firmly as you can, using waxed thread, such as cobblers use for shoes. Then further secure the ends by riyeting them

your waist, and you are ready for any nus tree you may find.
 When you have selected the tree you wisn to climb, put your belt through the smaller leather band and refasten the belt tightly around your waist, with the band in front, near your belt buckle. Now pass the long strap around the trunk of the tree, pass 1t through the band on your belt, buckle the ends securely and you are ready to climb.
 Raise the long strap as high as you can, until the side on the further side Of the trees Is about level with your neck. Lean back AS far as the belt will allow yoI and you will find that you can walk several feet up the tree by pushing against 1t with your feet. Now push your feet against the tree harder than ever, holding on the sides or the long strap, lean forward suddenly with out moving your feet, and lift the strap up- ward with both hands. The strap will siide up the trunk for several feet and you will be supported and can walk upward as be-
 fore. Repeat this, always pushing away from the tree trunk as far as possible with vour feet. In a very few minutes you will find yourself up in the branches, having walked directly up the tree trunk with the help of your strap.
 There is no danger whatever in this, if vou are always careful to see that your straps and belt are perfectly sound. and you
 can scale any tree that your long strap will
 go around.

TARGET RING.
A GAME FOR GIRLS.

This game (target ring) Is something like 1t without soilng your clothes. You might get your brother to help you to make the principal article necessary, but 1t Is very simple, and you can do 1t yourself If you try.
 Take piece of board two feet square and one inch thick. Put a red dot about one inch in size in the centre, with paint or col ored chalk. Then draw a circle three inches wide around the dot and color the circle with blue. Draw red circle three inches wide around this, and then another blue circle three inches wide around the red one. You may use any colors you wish if you have not red and blue.
 Now take some tenpenny nails and drive them through the board from the unpainted side until the heads are close against the board. Drive one nail exactly through the centre of the dot in the middle of the board, and drive the others so that there are two rows of nails about one inch apart on each ring. When this is done your target is com plete.
 Get two dozen iron washers from hard ware store. They will cost two cents a dozen. washer is a dat piece of cast iron shaped like a penny, with hole in the centre. Select the largest size you can get three inches in diameter if possible. Paint one dozen of these any color you wish and leave the other dozen plain. These are the rings for your target, and now the mechan- ical. parts of your game are complete.
 The girls must choose sides, and each should select as many on her side as the number of washers will permit Lean the target up against the side of the school house and draw line cn che ground fifteen feet away from the target. All the girls

HELLO! What have you thereT' cried the big brother, and somehow the question took the courage all out of the small boy moment before.
 "Only-only but pup" he very meekly answered.
 Then the blow fell-"No pups allowed herei''
 Small John, disconsolate, fled to the man of all work, who suggested that Master Rover-the small boy had named his new possession during the fifteen minutes of ownership-should have & chance at life in the stables, not with the horses, where the big brother ruled alone, but in the manager of a very respectable COW. s---A-a
 When spring brought the beautiful green grass to cover fields and roadsides the COW
 was turned into great pasture. By this time Rover had grown into a long, lanky
 creature-he was Newfoundland-with nothing at all fascinating about him, but the COW thought him lovely, and the two
 wandered about the pasture together day after day. If the COW lay down the dog lay
 down near her. When the COW got up the
 dog got up too. Occasionally he scampered off to try his legs, and the COW always at- tempted to follow him, but in this she was not a success.
 By this time Rover had won favor with the entire household and was often invited in, but when let out he always went directly to the pasture, where he received very affec- tionate greetings from the COW. Sometimes he accompanied his master or another mem
 Der of the family upon ramble, and then the difficulty was to get him without his fourfooted friend. A whistle brought him at once from the pasture, but 1t was strange sight to see the poor COW coming a
 long way behind snorting, galloping, with
 her tail flying. Rover could vault the fence,
 but she only came against the rails, to fall
 back helpless. If the pasture gate was un-
 latched the dog took the COW out for stroll
 through the town. If he went of with some of his sporty companions, and the COW.
 could find a weak place in the fence, she in- sisted upon accompanying him, which was
 rather awkward.
 | One day in the winter when the COW was heinz milked in the yard, a sleigh passed
 with driver and dog. Two ladies were in it. Rover, as usual, was lounging about, super

All the players on one side throw first; then after the points they have scored are counted the rings are removed from the board and the other side has an inning. The game is 25 points, but in case the bell rings telling you that recess Is over before the game is ended the side that has scored the largest number of points in even innings wins.

Cr0ss Exn minasion OF the Admiral
Over at Last.


Over at Last.
WASHINGTON, Oct 31.--Thc long
ordeal to which Admiral Schley has
been subjected since Monday morning
ended yesterday afternoon when his
cross examination was concluded and
he was allowed to leave the witness
stand. When the judge advocate fin
ishcd the cross examination shortly
after 3 O'Clock, the court propoundrd
to the admiral thirty-four questions
prepared by the members Of the court.
These questions touched many points
Of the campaign Of the flying squad
ron, but mainly centered about the
difficulties encountered in coaling and
the reasons for tile rctogrnhe move
mcnt. Not one OF them related to the
battle Of Santiago. The judge advo-
Gates cross examination covered the
retrograde movement. the reconnoS-
sancr of May Il. the loop Of the Brook
lyn and the alleged colloquy with
Lieutenant Hodgson about the Texas.
One of the most interesting features
fact that the report of the battle writ
ten by Admiral Schley July 6. 1898,
was not the original report The orig
inal report never was published, and
in accordance with a previous decision
the court yesterday declined to allow
it to so into the record. Admiral
Schley was allowed to explain. how
ever, that Admiral Sampson declined
to receive the first report because it did
not mention the presence Of the New
York. II felt that the victory at that
time" said Admiral Schley in explain
ing the matter, was big enough for
all. and / made this change out Of
generosity and because knew if the
New York had been present she would
have done as good work as anybody
