HeIplnu Mother,

Teddy and Freddy thought 1t
shame that mother should have all the
house-cleaning to do and, after talk
Ing the matter over, they decided to
help her. Being two very little boys,
they didn't know much about It, but
they had seen deal Of scrubbing and
washing going on, and they thought It
must be great fun, too.
Time for my boys to take their
nap" called mother, and she settled
them both comfortably in her spick-
and-span, freshly-cleaned room. They
pretended to be sleepy, but no sooner
had mother disappeared than Teddy
bounced up, followed by Freddy.
Now, we'll have 1t all nice and clean
when muvyer comes back" said they.
Teddy got cake Of soap and very
wet washrag, and, climbing a chair,
mounted to the bureau and made the
most beautiful clean. white lather or
the looking-glass, while the water and
soapsuds dripdrip- down to the
freshly-starched and RULED cover.
Freddy had his mothers tooth brush
and another cake Of soap and was hard
at work on his knees scrubbing the
hearth and freshly-oiled floor. 1t was
just at this time that their mother
found she had forgotten her glasses
and came softly back to the room, tip
toeing 80 as not to disturb her Sleep
ing boys. Perhaps you can imagine her
delight at Teddy's and Freddy's help.

Choose your mother, perhaps, and try
to remember that she would feel badly

tinctly. Try to make her hear. Do
not think OF yourself"
"Well, that is good idea," said
Molly, going on with her recitation:
GO make thy garden fair as thou
canst
Thou workest never alone"
Molly had great admiration for
her older brother, Jack, for he was In
the high school and was great many
inches taller, and SO she was much
surprised when coming into the hall
to find Jack sitting by himself In a
corner the picture OF despair.

must get some one else to say my part

Inertia OF the Nerves.

The researches and experiments OF
Messrs. Broca and Richet have led
them to the conclusion that the cere-
bral system is incapable Of perceive
ing more than an average of ten sep
arate Impressions per second.
After each excitation of the nerves
a period Of inertia follows, lasting
about one-tenth of second. and
during this period new impression
cannot be made.
According to the same authorities.
a person cannot make more than ten.
or at the most, dozen separate vol
untary movements Of any kind in q
second, although the muscles. indie
pendently Of the will, are capable Of
making as many as 80 or 40.

JOHNNY AND HIS GUN.
He Killed Big Rsccoon and Farmer
Killed Fatted Calf for Him.

NiilCN EdlbSu YAH UT TllIIl
Johnny Thompson, of Seymour,
sixteen-year.old lad, tramped over the
Woodbridge hills five miles till he
struggled past the house of Jason
Doolittle without peppering so much
as a gray squirrel. Climbing the rail
fence, he walked through the meadow
beyond Mr.. Doolttle's house, and in a
tree Just below the farmers garden
caught glimpse of what looked like
the bushy tail of plump gray SPUR
rel projecting beyond the limb. He
crafty tiptoed around to the other
side Of the tree to get better shot
and saw what was apparently the
squirrels head, fully two feet from
his tail. Must be two squirrels
there. I'll drop one" whispered
Jhonny, as he drew bead on the
animal. His shot was followed by a
commotion in the tree and down fell
something which made Johnny rub
his eyes.
Never saw anything like 1t in Sey-
mour," said he. Looked like an over
grown squirrel four times the size
of the biggest gray | ever saw tanned
and fat In a cage 1t looked as II 1t
weighed twenty pounds and | found
later that it did Guess my mouth
and eyes were both wide open when
the farmer came running out"
"Dyou kill that raccoon on my
land?" he asked.
yep, If that's a raccoon," Johnny
answered.
"Where'd you come from, anyhow"
said the farmer, 'and how'd ye get
here?"
81 live in Seymour and I walked
over" Johnny explained.
well you never'll walk back said
the rural gentleman.
~ was so scared dropped my gun
and began to SWIVEL" Johnny told his
friends afterward.
"Yew Just see here, young feller,"
said the farmer, that dummed rae
coon has been hangin' around my
place for four years, and me and my
boys has set traps and camped out
nights to git line on him. He has
ate half my garden up every year and
has got into my corn bin and about
everything else on the place, but has
lodged us every time. Now, II you've
slaughtered him, I'm just going to
hitch up and take you home as II you
were the mayor of Ansonia."
The farmer hitched up his Sunday
chaise and while he was hitching up
his horse he took Johnny into the
house and his wife fed him mince pie
and gave him all the sweet cider he
could drink. Then he loaded the fat
raccoon into the carriage, and put In
behind a big pumpkin and peck OF
big apples and they started for home.
Johnny's folks thought he was shot
when he was brought home In such
state as that, and his mother nearly
tainted, but revived when he piled out
and lugged In the raccoon. WOOD
