HIGH SCHOOL BOY
DOES WOOD CARVING

i 7 is the nature of boys to be indus
trious. They like to feel bit in
u dependent of their parents when it
comes to money. Almost every boy
one meets is desirous of earning a
little spending money" and will well
come any suggestion by which he may
be enabled to do 50. And these boys
want the money for good purposes,
too, sometimes helping to defray their
own educational expenses.
A boy once known to the writer was
real money maker. He attended
high school regularly and never missed
a day, nor did he ever miss in his
exams. And yet this same boy earned
about $25 each winter during the schod
term. He was more than clever at
carving on wood, and his evenings
and Saturdays (after his lessons for
the morrow had been learned) he spent
in carving photograph frames from
pine wood. Sometimes these frames
were unique in shape, being oval or
heart shaped. But he usually clung
to the more conventional square. On
these bits of plain wood he would carve
the most exquisite designs-howers,
quaint Dutch designs and fairy boats
bearing cupids. Again he would carve
conventional designs, but they were
always original. After the carving
was finished and the frame put to-
gether IL Woulu pe lietteu " "a a Ooat-
ing of gilt, bronze or ebony. The lat
ter effect was obtained by using
highly refined black paint and soft
Varnish.
Just before the holidays the boy
would put his hand-carved frames on
sale at some store, and his friends
would gladly avail themselves of pos
sessing them. The highest priced
frame would bring but a dollar and
half, while some of the less preten-
tious would sell for rs cents. The cost
of the frames-not counting the work.
manship, of course-aVeraged about 20
cents apiece, or thereabouts.
When the summer vacation rolled
around the boy woodcarver had
neat sum to spend on a trip to the sea-
shore, to the mountains or to defray
a camping expedition on the river near
to his home.

NNHE owner OF the Walking
Stick and the Gun had gone
Il away on long visit and left
them in a dark, dull, stuffy room
with nothing to see or do.
Its too bad said the Gun.
Here | am getting quite stiff
and rusty, and | have almost for
gotten what gunpowder smells
like. | have half a mind to burst
il master comes home and fires
me off"
My case is worse than yours, .
said the Walking Stick, FOR |

quite common in our family and
which only fresh air and exercise
can prevent. Pretty soon | eX-
pect to crumble up and fall to
pieces when any one tries to
walk with me. And then they
might get a bad tumble, for
which | shouldn't be sorry"
At this moment a maid came
into the room, raised the shades
and opened the windows, letting
in a delightful breeze.
"Ah!' said the Gun, that
gives one new life. ! begin to
feel like my old self again
Yes" replied the Stick, but
it makes me long to go out and
get a little exercise. Suppose we
get out of the window and take

1T would be nice" said Mr..
Gun. But | have never been
out alone, and am little nerv-

What! A great big gun like

and afraid to go out for a walk
We'll, I'm going anyway said
Mr.. Stick. And out of the win

did not like to be lett behind,
quickly followed him.
Soon they came to a field on
the edge of the wood, in which
lived a number of rabbits, and
two OF these little rabbits caught

running over with boxes OF choco-
late candy.
Tressic was soon sitting in her
rocker up in her room, looking
over a story book, while she ate
chocolates. Almost before she
knew il one box was empty and
she had begun on another
Then she did not eat any more
until after dinner, when she
opened another box. but, i'll some
way or another, they didn't taste
so good as before. She opened
one box after another, thinking
it would be satisfaction to just
look at them. But they did not
look near as nice as when she
could have but little. In the last
box of all there were the most
wonderful-lookirg chocolates of
all, for some were shaped like
little boys, girls, cats, pigs AMI
dogs.
They are brownies" said the
little girl. Il must just have
one and she was on the point
of clapping one into her mouth,
when there seemed the greatest
uproar i'll the box.
"If you eat me-" said the little
boy chocolate, I'll pull your
hair. See if ] don't. He, he!'
II you eat me- said the little
bird chocolate, I'll pick your
eyes out. Chez! chee chec !"
If you eat me, I'll scratch

said the little cat chocolate.
IF YOU eat me. I'll tear your
clothes! Bow-woo. boo" barked
a little chocolate dog.
If you eat me I'll pinch you
and bang you and jump on you,"
said little bear chocolate.
That was too much for Tressie
She gave an awful scream, while
every chocolate animal seemed to
be running all over her, pound
ing, kicking, humping her.

happened to Tressie after the attack
of the chocolate brownies. Give a good
account of the various troubles she

NEW TOPICS

My Dear Nephews and Nieces:
TT REALLY seems to me that | must
wish you all Merry Christmas
- over again. for last Sunday was
such a long time before the gay fes-
tival wherein joy bells ring and chill
dren gailY carol their songs of praise
and happiness However today / am
sure that the wishes for happiness are
still vibrant in the air and you are all
no doubt enjoying the memories of
a happy yesterday.
by the time you read next Sundays
paper it will be nearly time for school
to begin again, your midwinter vaca-
tion will be about over. and we will feel
that the winter is well on its way.
Time does fly so rapidly, and we all
have so many things to accomplish, so
many duties to perform, lessons 10
learn and pleasures to enjoy that the
days are fun for each one of us.
l realize this as well as any one and
want you all to know that each letter
you write each limerick, story or pic
ture which you send to me is appre-
ciated as representing so much Of your
time. This is. l know. quite as valu-
able to the boy and girl in school as
it is to those older folk, the grown
ups, who think perhaps that their life
is the only busy one.
With the beginning of the new year
l mean to try very hard to make these
letters more interesting to you all
Sometimes I may preach a bit-but
then a little bit of that Is good for ali
of us, and other times l may really
old pretty hard when think that you
are becoming dull and commonplace in
your point of view. When these things
happen, however, you must all say,
oh. we'll; Aunt Laurie loves us, and
she does this for our good, so it must
be all right and we will try to do as
she suggests"
For my part, | viii strive my hardest
to find interesting topics for you to
write about and will endeayor to pre-
sent them to you so that each boy and
girl may accomplish the very best re-
suits with the help of my suggestions.
with that idea l have offered the
topic this week, THE House on the
Hlll as suggesting goOd NOTk ellnef
for "a little descriptive writing or mere
ly bit of fiction.
In attempting the first write as care
ful and interesting an account Of the
appearance Of the house as pOssble;
for the second some interesting char
acter. resident in this house on the hill,
and describe him or her, and for the
third style write a little bit of a story
about this house on the hill, which
may be a haunted house a half ruined
house whose history you relate, Il
framework uncompleted, a house with
many windows, and some story which
goes with them, a very Old house which
has had some history connected with
Indian on civil wars, or in fact any one
Of hundred different stories about
this house of which you may all mag
inc as many as you please.
| shall hope for something very de-
lightful from this topic and | know
that you will each try your best to see
that | am not disappointed. THAI
would be a terrible thing to have hap
pen just when l tried so hard to give
you a good topic, would it not?
/ hope that you will each decide tc
mai the New Year a happy one for
me by writing as often as you can foe
The Herald Junior, and by remaining
firm in your loyalty to your loving

" alking across the meadow.
Keep quiet said one of them,
there is a gun"
Yes" said the other, but
what an extraordinary thing
There is no man with it. l never
heard of a gun without a man.
Do you think it is dangerous"
II don't think so, replied his
companion, but we must be
cautious. Let us go a little way
out of the wood, but keep out
OF range"
SO out they trotted and pres
emily Mr.. Stick caught sight of
them. Here are two wild
beasts" he said, now let me see
YOU shoot them.
But Mr.. Gun, in spite OF all
his struggles, could not manage
to take aim without something
to rest on. At this Mr. Stick be
gan laughing, saying:
You certainly are 2 wondsr-
ful hunter, but the Wild beasts
do not seem to mind you much.
Then Mr.. Gun in his rage
shook his fist at the poor little
rabbits, and they, seeing he could
do them no harm, came nearer
and called out:
Conclude this story. Tell what re-
mark the rabbit made to Mr.. Gun and
Mr.. Walking Stick and what the re-
suit of this conference was Then fol-
low the two queer companions upon

tell what adventures befell them. 1t

ing much comment, and also finding
themselves in many most unexpected

FIRST SHAPE OF EELs.
Strait Of Messina Revealed Mystery of
the Snakelike Fish.

Strait of Messina Revealed Mystery of
the Snakelike Fish.
In the strait of Messina are channels
of immense depth. through which a
wild tide surges, and owing probably
to Irregularities at the bottom there
are whirling eddies which have the
effect of bringing up from the depths
below many marine creatures which
are rarely seen except in the deep sea
travis.
1t was here that the larval form Of
a fresh water eel was first discovered,
an incident which threw blaze of
light on the life history of very mys-
FERROUS fish.
All kinds of theories had been given
forth with regard to the propagation
Of the eel. Some naturalists declared
they bred In fresh water, others that
they visited the estuaries for spawning
purposes, but thanks to the discovery
