soYlsH MIND WAS WORKING
Younester on His First Sail Over the
Raging MAN,"

None of us ever quite forget those
days-when our years were few-of
dreaming about life on the raging
main, when the imagination reveled
in pirates and plumber from state
ly galleons and v%alorous deeds done
on storm-swept decks, says a writer
in the New York Times. Recollection
of this period is, at any rate, sufh-
GENTLY vivid, SO that the remark of
a small boy could contribute maAe-
rally to the "gayety of nations"
among the passengers on n of the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor to
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting nc pirate craft.
The passengers, escaping gladly from
the city's heat, nibbled their sand
witches and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy, just from the
inland town, where his life so far
had been spent, sat rapt and wide
eyed. If one could but know fully
the mental content" from which
sprang his words at last!

five feet long. In the other end o.
the Irvine tie a large knot.
Your siege gun will shoot a queer
sort of ammunition, neither bullets
nor arrows, but a long spear or lance!
Fer this you need a straight stick
five feet long. You must scrape its
edges carefully until it is perfectly
round all but about three inches from
one end, which you may leave square
if the stick should happen to be -four
sided instead of already round. TC
the other end of the stick you may
fasten a regular barbed s~pear-head ii
you care to make from iron OF
sheet tin, or you may drive a long
nail in this end for your spear point,
weighing it with strips of lead bound
around the end of the stick with cat
gut or light wire. In the square or
base end of your spear cut a notch
large enough to hold the Irvine, but
small enough so that the knot on the
Irvine will not pass through it.
The next and last thing you will
need is an iron, brass or wooden
ring like a curtain ring, or, If you
have not one at hand, you can easily
make one. This is to take the place
of the fork on your 12-foot pole. Take
a piece of whalebone, or a piece OF
heavy wire, or even a strong flexible
stick, and, bending it around so as
to form a circle, lash the ends firmly
together. Now wrap this carefully
around two or three times with tape
or strips of leather, and then bind it
firmly to the upright pole by about
two-thirds of it's height from the
ground. In fastening it thus use light
wire or strong twine over which you
have rubbed a piece of soap till it Is
thoroughly creased.
Now you are ready to fire your first
shot, SAYS Good Literature. Put your
spear through the ring, place the knot
in the Irvine in the notch cut in the
butt of your spear, pull back the spear
until it's head is nearly to the ring,
as the illustration shows, and then
let it go. If your pole is a good one
the heavy spear will be hurled 200
yards or even more.
The best kind of spears are made
from alder sticks or long reeds such
as grow in marshes. They are very
light and you can usually find a dozen
or more growing together, so that
you can get a lot of spears at the
same time. With these for your am
munition, you will find that your
siege gun will outshoot anything your
friends may possess, except those who
may have regular powder and shot
firearms, and even those will have to
use something bigger than "22 cal.
shots" to beat you.

SALLOW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.


How many persons realize that cof-
fee so disturbs digestion that it pro-
duces a muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial of Postum Food
Coffee has proven a means, in thou
sands of cases, of clearing up bad
compilations.
A Washn. young lady tells her expe-
rience:
"All of us-father, mother, sister
and brother-had used tea and coffee
for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
sWe were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all of us
simply so many bundles of nerves.
"We didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until n day
we ran out of coffee and went to 0
row some from a neighbor. She gave
MS some Postum and told us to try
that.
ALTHOUGH we started to make it,
we all felt sure we would be sick II
we missed our strong coffee, but we
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find it delicious.
1--WE read the statements on the
pkg., got more and in a month and a
half you wouldn't have known us.
We were all able to digest our food
without any trouble, each ones skin
became clear, tongues cleaned off and
nerves in fine condition. We never
use anything now but Postum. There
is nothing like it" Name given by

A SIEGE GUN.
How an Outdoor Toy Can Be Built
Which Will Give Lots of
Amusement.

1t is hardly likely that any of cur
boys will have to stand a siege\by a
hostile force or be actually engaged
in laying siege to the stronghold of
an enemy, but almost every one OF
them will be interested in this siege
gun. 1t is very simple and easy to
make and will shoot a long way, much
farther, in fact, than you car shoot
with a bow and arrow; farther even
than an air rife viii carry.
First you will need a long, straight
sapling of hickory or some other
tough, springy wood, oak, ash or hem
lock. If you can find one growing in
the spot from which you want to
shoot, SO much the better; all you
have to do is to strip off the branches
and cut off the top. But this is not

Cut a tough pole about II feet cong
and three inches thick at the base,
and carefully trim off all the branch

feet from the top in case a limb is
growing there. If not, v mind,
you can replace the fork with a per-
feet substitute. Dig a hole two feet
deep in the place where you wish
your siege gun to be permanently

in this hole and wedge around it as
many large stones as the hole will

against the base of the pole. Now
