When the winds blow over this tree
II gives out hutelike sounds. playing
away 10 the wilderness for hours at a
time strange. weird melodies. Ii Is the
spirits OF the dead singing among the
branches. the natives say. but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad OF small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines OF the branches.
The weeping tree OF the Canary is
lands is another arboreal freak. This
tree in the driest weather will rain
down showers from its leaves, and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot OF the trunk
and find II pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumera BILE
pores situated at the base OF the
leaves.

Aunt Sue read her letter
One day about week after that Ka-
tie was feeling very lonesome. There
was no one she could play with, and
she had played alone until she was
tired. Aunt Sue had gone TO the city
for a day. All at once Katie thought:
/ oh, I'll go down TO the pOstoffice and
get letter. That will be such nice

and as the town was a quiet one she
was often allowed to go as far as that

the clerk did not know she was there.

DUMB PATIENCE

AS many persons may play patience
as can be conveniently seated In a cir
Gle In the middle OF the room. Place the
chairs with the backs inward and be
tween two of them leave enough space
for person to pass through All the
players are seated except one, who Is
called the director.
Inside the circle Is a chair, on which
Dumb Patience sits. She is dumb ALL
through the game or as long at least as
she is patient. but she may laugh or cry
or make any sound that is not talk
Ing.
Now, the directors business Is to
watch Patience and announce to the
players, who all have their backs to
her. what she Is doing from time to
time, and then the players have to imi-
tate her
Suppose she laughs, the director calls
out, Patience says laughr and all the
players must laugh. Suddenly she stops
and begins to sew or to go through the
motion of sewing; then the director
says. Patience says sewv' and all the
players must quickly stop laughing and
initiate her. While this is going on all
must be silent
Then Patience begins TO cry, and the
director says. Patience says cryr'
when all the players begin to cry and
keep It up until Patience begins sud
denly 20 make the motions Of playing
the piano. when at a word from the d.
rector all the players stop crying and
move their hands about as II over the
keys OF a piano.
Patience may do anything she pleasos,
and the players, who are told of II By
the director. must begin at once to imi-
tate her.
When she gets tired Of giving the
players different things TO do she jumps
up from her chair and, passing out OF
the circle. begins to run around the
chairs. All the players must get up and
follow her until she sits down. when
they ali do likewise except one, OF
course. who IL left without q chair to
sit in. and that player then becomes Pa
tience for the next round.
