On Authority Of Teacher,


A quick-witted boy, asking food at
farmhouse too recently rayaged by
other hungry fishing truants, was told
that he was big enough to wait until
he got home
"Of course, If you have children
with YOU" hesitated the kindly wom-
an of the house, and was Immediately
Informed that there were six children
in the party.
mo, l don't tell fib, neither" was
the indignant protest later drawn
forth by the condemnation of ore who
had shared the good bread and butter
thus secured. "F1b nothin'. We're
children six times over We're chill
dren Of our father and mother, chill
dren of God, children of our country,
children of the church an children of
grace. Teacher said so last Thursday.
and I guess she ought to know"

the gas can only escape at intervals,
one or other of the balls always re-
turning, in virtue of the force of grav-
1ty, to seal the orifice of the funnel,
until such time as the pressure of the
escaping gases sufices once more to
l1ft the ball. At such an instant part
OF the, gas escapes, the pressure in
stantly diminishes, and another or the
same ball falls into the aperture
These phenomena continue, and if you
have painted the balls in different COL
ors, that are thus abruptly dancing in
the funnel, you will see a rather odd
effect.
You can give a pretty effect if you
cut colored tissue paper to represent
the wings of butterfly, which will
now appear to flutter with consider
able truth to nature, as though it
were real butterfly Elk

A Good Trick.

Offer to mesmerize any lady so that
she cannot get up alone, and when one
volunteers, place her in a chair in the
center of the room and sit facing her,
requesting all of the company to keep
quiet and unite their wills with yours
Ask the lady to lean back comforta-
bly,, and proceed to make variety of
passes and motions with your hands
with great solemnity. After few mo-
ments say, Get up" and as she rises
from her chair you rise at the same
moment, and say, II told you, you
could not get up alone" If she sus-
poets a trick and does not rise, Of
course your reply is the same

She Can White,

Not one girl in hundred can use a
pocket knife to sharpen a lead pencil
without cutting her fingers, and as for
whiting at a broomst:ck, they'd cut
their heads off if they tried it. Miss
Ella Blackburn of Iron Mountain, Mo-,
is different kind of girl, however She
is only 13 years old, and yet she has
whitfield out and put together the
wheels of a clock that keeps fairly
good time, as we'll as a wooden chain
II feet long and full set of croquet
balls. AS a matter of fact, she is a
better whistler than any boy in town,
and she also whistles as she whit
ties.

STOPPED SHORT
Taking Tonics, and Built Up on
Right Food.

The mistake is frequently made OF
trying to build up WORKOUT nervous
system on so-called tonics-drugs.
New material from which to rebuild
wasted nerve cells is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained
only from proper food.
1.-TWO years ago l found myself on
the verge Of complete nervous col
lapse, due to overwork and study, and
to illness in the family" writes Wis
consin young mother.
MY friends became alarmed be-
cause grew pale and thin and could
not sleep nights. took various tonics
prescribed by physicians, but their
effects wore of shortly after
stopped taking them My food did
not seem to nourish me and gained
no flesh nor blood.
Reading of Grape-Nuts, I de-
termined to stop the tonics and see
what a change Of diet would do. l
ate Grape-Nuts four times a day,
with cream and drank milk also, went
to bed early after eating a dish of
Grape-NutS.
In about two weeks was sleeping
soundly. In short time gained 20
pounds in weight and felt like a
different woman. My little daughter
whom was obliged to keep out OF
school last spring on account of
chronic catarrh has changed from .
thin, pale, nervous child to a rosy
healthy girl and has gone back tc
school this fall.
"Grape-Nuts and fresh air were the
only agents used to accomplish the
happy results"

SPLENDID TAX COLLECTION
is ONE OF TIE REASONS
Bradbury Company is Awarded the
Contract for Furnishing the
Supplies for the Ensuing Year
Building Repairs Authorized.

Finances of the North Yakima
school district are in excellent shape
according to preliminary report sub
mitted to the directors last night by
Secretary Kumler who will. at the
next meeting, submit a detailed state
ment. The close Of the year will find
the district with between $4,000 and
$4,000 cash on hand The district
has $4,000 cash now and the June
taxes are yet to come in. Mr. Kumler
says the condition is due to the fact
that last year the district was new to
the estimate method of business and
made some mistakes, to the other fact
that economy was practiced in some
departments and to the final fact that
the taxes had been unusually we'll
collected.
Small Levy Next Year.
Next year the district, on the basis
of past experience, viii receive $4O,-
600 from the state and 100000 from
the county which will necessitate a
levy of about $4,000 only by the dis
trct and this win be about the low
est the district has had for a very
long time. This. of course. is contin-
gent upon the building of necessary
schools, if any. being done other than
from the general fund. The district
is now on cash basis and the banks
are actually sending warrant holders
to the county treasurer.
The Bradbury company. for APP
proXimately $1,000, receives the con-
tract for furnishing the supplies need
ed by the district for the ensuing year.
which amount to about $400. will be
