and Mrs. Herrick, who had been driy-

and was met by her family with a
welcome which was far too heartfelt
to be mere acting.
Marion flung her arm about her.
"Oh, I'm glad Mrs. Herrick is gone,
nanny dear!" she said. "She was
pleasant, and real lady, as Bridget
used to say; but 1 have missed you!

HOW THEY LAUGH.
Dogs, Cats and Birds Have Ways of
Expressing Merriment.

Dogs, Cats and Birds Have Ways of
Expressing Merriment.
Children, have you ever seen dog,
cat or bird laugh? asks writer in
the Buffalo Times.
this question, but I'll make you serious
by telling you that the dog, cat and
the bird are laughers, and gay ones,
too.
If you have a pet dog call him to
you and pat him on the head, and how
he will laugh-yes, laugh with all his
might, and-tail.
1t IS with his tail that the dog laughs
When he is little bit pleased he wags
his tail little bit-that is, he laughs
little bit. If he is made very happy
|-petted more than usual, he will laugh
his tail almost off in his gaiety.
And it is the same way that old
pussy cat laughs too. Watch her play
with a poor, lite mouse lover whose
capture she is 80 pleased) and see how
she switches her mirth provoked tail
about from side to side, striking ii
tap-tap on the floor by way Of empha
sis. And when she plays with he1
kittens her jolly tail keeps moving in
merry laughter all the while, as dc
the funny little tails of the laughing
kittens.
The birds laugh with both wings and
tail. On warm spring day watch
them at their frolic in the trees anG
grass. They will dart hither anG
thither in the very ecstasy of fun an6
play and perch on the boughs to give
vent to their laughter, which is pro
voked by quick Tapping of their wings
and rising of their tails.
So you see. the power of laughter is
not given to the human family alone
for animals and birds know how tt

A BOY IN SUMMER TIME.

l am going to tell you what 1 know
about "a Boy in Summer Time"
OF course, he's out of school, He
has some chores to do if he lives in
the country; such as getting wood
ready for the stove, bringing in kind
ling, gathering up the eggs, taking care
of the setting hens, milking, planting
truck patches, wedding the garden and
other small chores too numerous to
mention. Aside from this he is a per-
feet nuisance around the place. He
carries in mud on his shoes, leases the
children, whistles and makes all kinds
of noises.
He has some fun. too. Sometimes his

HOME OUTING OF MRS. HERRIck
(Concluded.)

(COncluded.)
But both she and her sisters also
realized, as they never had before, how
much care, how many unexpected
things, turned up every day; how dull
the round of household tasks may be-
come in years of performance. They
could not understand this fully in
three weeks time; but they received
new impression of a mothers duties
and responsibilities in cookless
household where strinted means re-
quired the most careful economy.
They had supposed themselves we'll
informed and helpful assistants to
their mother, and Elsie especially was
most capable; but it is a very different
thing to help an efficient housekeeper
when other things do not interfere,
and to have the whole care of house
hold Even now the care was divided
among three, although Elsie took the
lead; and Elizabeth broke out one
day, when Interruptions innumerable
had delayed the work, and the heat
was almost unbearable: ITO think OF
nanny going on this way for years
and years, and sewing for US and plan
ming to keep down expenses, and try
| ing to dress three girls before Elsie
took care of herself"
"And here l might have saved more
and bought her new dress, instead OF
just hat. I don't see why and how
my money goes SO. when I've always
been taught to economic. must do
better next year." Elsie said.
"And Elizabeth and must help
more at home. Even when we go to
school we might do more, with some
planning and extra effort" Marion de-
| clared.
"Mercy!" Elizabeth, who never
could be grave very long at time,
laughed. "Just hear the reform bills
presented before the House of Herrick!
If we keep on the millennium will
soon arrive and we shall all be grown
/ up angels. And here my magazine
awaits me, and Antoinette La Rue is
| impatiently expecting Elsie to go to
the Macnaughtons' garden party, and
Marion must bend her mind to plan

mother let's him go fishing, when he
gets too big nuisance.
No difference where he is or what
he is doing, he's generally on hand
about meal time.
He never has any time to read ex-
cept at night, when he ought to be in
bed; and as consequence he is not
ready to rise in the morning.
On Sunday he ought to go to Sunday
school, but he doesn't always do this,
am sorry to say.
I might tell you more of him, but
these are his most prominent charac-
teristics. Such is "a boy in summer
time" as l know him.

THE CLOSING DAY AT SCHOOL

Avery, Iowa.
We always have a big dinner and a
big time the last day of school. We
always take our dinners and aim to
surprise the teacher. The parents al
ways come and seem to have nice
time. My school was out the 30th of
March, and there were about sixty
people there besides the scholars and
there are about sixty of them. We
had a nice dinner and after dinner
had nice little program. The teach
er treated US to candy and pop corn.
That was the end of the program he
said. I spoke a piece and was in a
dialogue with three other girls. It
was called 1.-THE Gossip The title of
my piece was THE Face on the Bar

piece. When school is olt in the

In the summer time girl can have
a good time. For most girls have lit
tie gardens or flower beds. Some girls
have their flower beds in the school
yards. A girl ought to have little

And most every girl has been flower
hunting and gathering flowers. Some
of the flowers that we gather are dali
sizes, sweet william, blue bells and
others. My favorite flowers are roses
and bleeding hearts. expect that

the Juniors to hear something about
the Indians Of this part of Oklahoma.
The government buildings are locat-

situated in the valley of Cobb creek,
beautiful stream that flows all the
year rain or shine. 1t is a common
sight in summer to see Indian men,
squaws and papooses in the creek.
near the wagon bridge, bathing.
The children of school age are kept
in school and taught our language and
many of our ways. The boys are
taught to farm on the government
land. but are too lazy to make farm
ing their occupation for any length of
time.
The children are not allowed to live
with their parents during the school
evenings The government has fur
nished nice rooms for the children to
live in and nice dining rooms, school,
rooms and play grounds.
The Indians are all paid certain
sum of money by the government
every three months, and they have 100
acres of land apiece.
Very few of the Indians live in
houses. most. of them live in tepees.
The squaws stick to their blankets and
wear them through hot or cold wealth

tention was attracted by an old gray
headed squaw crying. was told that
