It was formerly thought that the
stomach was the main organ Of diges-

Making the Darts.

inches long and two inches wide, an
ash stick three feet long and a piece
of stout string constitute all the mate
rial necessary.
White your pine stick perfectly
straight and round, a little larger in
diameter than a lead pencil. With a
small saw cut in n end a slit about
i've inches deep. Into this slit insert
the piece of card, first cutting it the
shape shown in the picture. Tack it
on with two or three brads, clinching
them on the other side to insure their
firmness. When this is done (and not
before, balance the dart on your knife
blade to find the center of gravity"
and at the point where it balances
cut a notch slanting in the direction
of the point away from the card end.
If you cut this notch in the center
or near the end the dart will not
work. It must be just where it bal
ances. Be sure you get this notch
right, for on it depends the success
of the toy.
The dart being finished, the next
thing is to construct the lash to throw
it with. A piece of ash or some
springy wood is better for this pur-
pose, but pine or spruce will do. Cut
this about three feet long and the
diameter of a whip handle, so you
can handle it comfortably in the hand,
yet thin and springy, tapering toward
the end. To the small end of this
stick fasten a piece of stout string
about two feet long, and at the other
end of the string tie a knot.
To shoot the dart, explains the Chi
cago News, hold it with the left hand
neal the tail or paper end, holding
the whip in the right. Throw the
string over the dart and draw it
through the notch until it catches on
the knot. Then with a rapid upward
motion switch TIE whip into the air,
letting go the dart at the same time.
The dart will leave the string and
soar high in the air.

THE STORY.

r HERE seemed no way but for the
! Gibeonites to joint forces with the
federated kings in the proposed war
upon Joshua and the armies of Israel.
Never before had the entire country
between Jordan and the great sea
been so aroused as at the present
time. Tidings of the coming of the
hosts of Israel had reached the land
while yet the Israelites were in the
wilderness far to the south and west,
but since the miraculous crossing of
the Jordan and the destruction of Jer-
icho and All the vague fears which
had filled the minds of the inhabit-
ants had taken definite form in the
desperate resolve to unite and give
battle to Israel.
That very day a deputation from
the kings of the Hittites, the Amor
ties, the Canaanites, the Perizzites,
the ~Jebusites, and others of the less
er tribes of the country urged them
to make alliance in the common cause
against Israel.
at is plain" the messengers said,
"that these Hebrews seek "a They
arrogate unto themselves great i'm
p~ortance, and have openly declared
contempt for our gods. They have
destroyed Jericho and All with the in
habitants thereof, and they would do
so to us. And because of this, oh,
men of Gideon, the kings of all the
country to the north and south and
along the coast of the great sea are
raising a great army to give battle to
Israel, and have sent us to urge that
your fighting men join them in this
war;"
This speech of the messengers was
received with evident favor by the
chief men of Gideon who had been
called together in council, and they
would at once have given assent to
the plan, had not old Second-Thought,
as he was called-because of his in
variable habit of saying: Don't be in
haste! Think it over! Think it Overt"
-counseled delay!
I'VE will be better able to give
answer in the morning, after we have
considered well the matter" he urged,
and to this the rest had finally reluct-
antly agreed, and later, when they
had come together to talk the matter
over, old Second-Thought said:
I'VE all know the mighty things
which the people of Israel have done
right before u eyes. Surely their
God is a mighty God that he could
make a pathway through the Jordan
and lead his people dry shod right in
our very midst. We have seen the
smoke of Jericho and Al ascending
into heaven, and we know that the
strong armies of those cities could not
stand before Joshua and his men.
Then why should we hope to be
more successful than they? And even
though the armies of the allies should
be victorious, our country would De
