Scrap of Carbon Paper

If one we're looking for a cure for
bashfulness, carbon paper would seem
an unlikely thing to select. But it was
a piece of this paper which, if it did
not exactly cure John Kendall, at least
overcame the effects of his shyness.
Johns bashfulness was most per-
nicious, and while it had not retarded
his career as a successful manufae-
turer, in the fiourishing town of Schuy-
lerville, it proved very embarrassing
possession when he was smitten with
the tender passion.
In the first place, Margaret Little
was IAN authoress," and that alone
was an awe-inspiring circumstance. To
be able to write stories which met
with occasional acceptance; to have
the postman sometimes bring her thin
letters containing checks. and not to
be the grinning bearer of bulky pack
ages of rejected manuscripts, placed
her on plane above other women
such placing. for it would be futile to
chronicle the angelic qualities with
which he endowed her.
The trouble wish this endowment
process was that it was not disclosed
TO Margaret. John could write, and
did write, letters teeming with senti-
ment. OF course, it was unfortunate
that these letters were never sent. 1t
was more unfortunate that he found
himself unable to express in her pres
ence the feelings which agitated his
six feet of manhood.
He had made three attempts at
proposal, each of which had ended in
stammering confusion and dire fail
ure, and it is probable that the num-
Der would have been extended in
definitely, had not rival appeared on
the field
Anyone who showed Margaret the
slightest attention was a rival in
Johns view. and it seemed impossible
that the editor Of New York maya
zine would come fifty miles to Schuy-
lerville for the sole purpose of con
sulting Margaret about a series of
stories for his periodical. If this in
locent purpose brought the editor.

duced his temperance within a
month, and it was during this second
visit that John spurred himself to &C
ton.
On June afternoon he deserted his
desk and determinedly strobe toward
the Little homestead. His courage
usually lasted until he passed the front
gate, but on this occasion he was sur
prised to find it UNFOLDING him even
after he had reached the veranda. It
evaporated when he rang the bell. A
maid told him that Miss Little had
gone for a walk with a gentleman from
New York This information, coming
as a respite, at first relieved John.
Then jealousy renewed his courage,
and he boldly said he wished to leave
a note for Margaret.
In the matter of imprisoned mis-
sives John Kendall was no coward
and he sat at Margaret's little desk
and dashed of a few glowing periods
on sheet of her manuscript paper
When the effusion was finished it
proved satisfactory, being, in fact, a
condensation of the others which he
had left unsent. He folded it neatly,
and was reaching into a pigeonhole in

Destined to Govern, They Knew Need
of seIf-sovernment
A number Of years ago Commodore
Perry, speaking to the students of An
tioch college. Ohio. told the following
anecdote, Illustrating the perfect dis
cipline maintained among the naval
cadets of his time:
Some twenty-five years ago was
carelessly walking on the levee of a

management, shown by its condition.
AT the end of my hour began to look
for my oarsman. Just then / discov-
cred a door on my right. 1 opened it.
and in that room sat thirty-two boys.
| had been there an kour and had not
heard a stir enough to show that so
much as bird was alive on that boat
The youngest cadet came to the
door and welcomed me with his cor
dial military salute Boy, where is
your teaeher?' Gone ashore, sir DO
you keep absolute order while he is
gone? Certainly. sir
Then passing to the front, / said
to one of the older boys: Young
man, why do you act so differently
from other boys? Are you afraid Of
being punished?
The cadet rose to his feet Sir

two cadets. We all expect to govern
others in our future work The first
element of a good governor is self

afford plenty of amusement to the lit
tie folks, and, perhaps. not least so
because the element of fire is involved
in its performance. Fasten five tooth
picks together as in the accompanying
diagram. 1t will be found that they
then form a framework which may be
handled without its falling apart. Care
should be taken in making this frame
work not to break the toothpicks, for
the success of the thing depends on its
elasticity.
Then make the figure of a little
man out Of cork or any other light
material, and place him on one of the
corners of the framew0 rk, as, for in
stance. about where the letter B is
shown on the accompanying diagram.
Place the framework, with the little
man in his proper place, on the rim
of an ordinary tumblef and then set
fire to the toothpick end C and D..
When the fire has burned the tooth
picks at their point of intersection
there will, of course, Se nothing to
counterfeit the force exerted by the
rest of the framework and the whole
affair will shoot up into the air, the
little gentleman being thrown several
feet as a result of the terrible catas-
trophe.

Five Rubs All You Are Allowed.


A simple but amusing little trick is
20 rub out twenty marks in five rubs.
stopping every time on an odd num-
Der
This little diversion is particularly
suited to recess time at school, where
the blackboard is handy, but it may
also be done on a slate.
First, you make a row of marks, one
under the other, and number them. as
shown in the accompanying picture.
Then you challenge those who are
watching you to do the rubbing as
has been said, letting an odd number
be the last one every time, five rubs
to complete the task.
Now, unless you have somebody in
the company who is wide awake and
quick witted, they will all begin to
calculate how in the world they can
begin at the top and succeed in doing
what you have proposed. Some boy,
perhaps will take up the eraser, and
confidently rub out the first marks.
stopping on five, for that is an odd
number, he will say, al ID therefore all
right. Then he will btgin 20 get puz-
zled for the next five marks will take
him to ten, which is not an odd mum
Der, and he will try to finG way out
of the difficulty.
Perhaps he may give it up in des-
pair, and then some one else will try
it, only to give it up likewise.
But see how simple it is! No one
of the company has thought of begin,
