Jealous Willie

Four year old Willie had not been
entirely happy since the arrival of his
baby sister.
Something was the trouble, he did
not know just what. Several people had
said there was something the matter
with his nose. but he had ascertained
By looking and feeling that they were
mistaken about that. However, some
thing was wrong, and he was inclined
to think that the baby, was responsible
for it.
One evening as his mother was un-
dressing the baby she said: Willie.

babys nightgown."
There was no response and no move

the small morsel of humanity on his
mothers lap with a good deal Of dis
favor
"Oh. We'll" said his mother, "if you
are going to be unkind to little sister
she will just put on ner wings and
fly back to heaven
Den let her put on her wings and
Get her own down. responded Willie,

Soap Bubbles

If your father happens to be smoking
when you are blowing soap bubbles, get
him to blow some bubbles for you. He
just fills his mouth with smoke, and
then blows an ordinary bubble with the
clay pipe. The bubble will generally
grow very large, and will, of course,
be filled with smoke. Floating in the
sunshine, some of them present a very
beautiful appearance.
If you want to make very large
bubble, first cover your hands well with
soapsuds and place them together in
the shape of a cup, leaving small
opening at the bottom. Then hold your
hands about a foot from your mouth
and blow into them. sThe bubbles OBJ
tanned in this way are so large that
they Immediately burst on touching the
fnOr.

close margin of four votes the annexa-

fashionable blocks have been added to
Hillsborough. In the territory involved
five votes were polled, all in favor of

cast.
In the southern end of Hillsborough,
