To the personality of Sir George

part of the wonderful success of the

is SO widely known, he always kept
the personal element in the back

that every particle OF his correspond

Though the Y. N. c. A. rests to-day

cage and beckoned to Rastus and the
big gorilla came out with his oldest
boy, and Pa and the two of them took
hold of hands and started on ahead.
and We started to haul the wagon by
drag ropes, when the worst possible
thing happened. Rastus reached in
Pas pistol pocket where Pa had just
put a large plug of tobacco. after he
had bit of piece, and Rastus thought
because Pa ate the tobacco he could,
SO he bit off about half of the plug
and ate it, and gave his half-grown
boy the rest of it, and that was eaten
by the boy. Pa tried to take it away
from them, but it was too late, and
they were both mad at Pa for trying
to beat them out of their dessert.
II was not long before Rastus
turned pale around the mouth, but his
face was SO covered with hair that

was. though when he put both hands

CURTAIN HINTS
Decorative Borders
Give Good Effect
to ~iDdoWs.

There is q fashionable decoration
that should be helpful to the woman
who must fit short curtains to new
windows.
This is the idea of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics of solid
color
New curtains are made in this fash
ion and sold at expensive prices at
the shops that make specially of new
things.
A Skillful woman can accomplish the
same result, but, mind you, stress is
laid upon the adjective skillful. A
woman who hasn't a clear idea of
color and who hasn't the Unborn knack
of getting things right with scissors
and needle, should turn the work over
to the woman who has this power.
Many a seamstress has it whose work
costs little.
Separate borders can be bought at
the shops with surprising ease by the
woman who knows how to root out
the artistic thing. They do not come
for curtains as rule. but they serve
admirably.
The foundation color is usually deep
tinted, although some good patterns
can be gotten with the foundation in
natural crash tones. These are usu-
ally the best to work on. They go so
well with almost any other cover.
The designs on these borders are
Egyptian, Byzantine. or whatever
name suits best these formal lines in
vivid cOlOrs.
They can be put at the sides, bot
tom and top of short. narrow curtains.
and one is surprised at the effect.
They not only make an old curtain
of use, but they give it rev character
and style.
These borders can be used as a
plain Or plated valance. This fashion
has widely returned in decorating
rooms, and although it keeps out light
to certain extent, it gives finish TO
the top Of the window.
Often the effect, without a valance.
is bare. This is especially so when
the window jamb is deep and wide.
There is another fashion of using
ten-inch borders across the tops OF
windows and down the sides with
pane curtains that are set deep in
the window enlbrasure against the
glass.

and went so fast that Pas feet only
hit the high places.
Finally Mr.. Hagenbach said to me:
'Hennery, l guess your Pa has got
what is coming to him this time Ras-
tus will probably drag your Pa up a
tree and eat him, when his appetite
comes back. but we can't help him, SO
We better haul the cage and the goril-
las that have not had any tobacco to
camp, and in a day or two we will all
come out here and find your fathers
bones and bury them"
And then We all went to camp, and
the poor gorillas just remained list
lessly in the cage, mourning as though
dead. We fed them everything We
could spare. but they would not eat,
and by watching them we found there
was case of jealousy in the cage. as
two male gorillas seemed to be stuck
on a young lady gorilla. and they
were scrapping all the time.
Gee, but We needed Pa worse than
ever to settle the gorilla dispute, but
We all felt that Pa was not of this
earth any more, and the camp took on
an air of mournfulness, and they all
wanted to adopt me cause l was
alone in the world. There was not
much sleep in camp that night, and
the next day we were going out with
guns to find Pas remains and shoot
Rastus, but little after daylight we
heard the night Waterman say to the
cook who was building fire: Look
who's here, and what do you know
about that" and he called the whole
camp up, and We looked out across the
veldt, and there came Pa, astraddle of.
a zebra, with Rastus' boy up behind
him. and Rastus thoroughly subdued
leading the zebra with hay rope Pa
had twisted out of grass.
The whole camp came to attention
and Pa scratched a match on RaStus'
hair and lighted cigarette, and
when he got near enough he said:
Slept in the crotch Of tree all night.
Gave Rastus and his boy drink of
whisky out of my flask and cured them
of the tobacco sickness, had come
mangoes for breakfast. sent Rastus to
catch a zebra, and here We are ready
for coffee and pancakes
Pa got off his zebra, opened the
door of the cage and pointed to it.
and Rastus and his boy got in. and Pa
kicked Rastus right where the hair
was worn off sitting down. and Rastus
looked at Pa as though that was all
right. and he deserved it, Then Pa
closed the door, washed his hands and
sat down to breakfast, and when Mr.
Eagenbach said: ''Old man. you have
got Barnum and Forepaugh skinned
MILE" Pa said: 20, that is nothing;
1 have located a marsh full of white
buffalos, and We will go out there and
get a drove of them in a few days.
They are the ugliest and fightingest

When they got a big drink of whisky
they began to laugh, and then fell on

Pa laid down on a bale of hay and
slept all day, and the crowd talked
about what a hero he was.
