How Brides Roses Led Her to Tears

The Pullman was hot and Willie
Boy thought of the explosion. No use
leaving the jar out on the vestibule.
1t might break there. He wanted to
stay in the Pullman, but he couldn't.
He had TO stay outside and hold the
picked roses. Night came and Willie
Boy was sleepy. He went to bed, but
he didn't sleep; he was too busy hang
ing the roses out of the window TO
keep the alcohol cool.
Kansas City came, and then home;
Emaline walked into the house and
Willie Boy followed with the picked
once-were roses.
"Whatll we do with 'em?" he asked.
"Why, put them in the attic, Of
course" Emaline answered.
Willie Boy hadn't been married
very long and he wasn't independent.
Still there surged into his face the
blood of battle and his voice splut-
tered as he spoke.
"A-at-tic?" he asked. "Will We?
We won't | carried those things 700
miles, and IL they're worth carrying
that far they're worth looking at, even
IL don't think they amount to much.
Attic nothing. Mantel, that's where
they're going, understand-mantel.
Hear me?"
And that's the reason Emaline cried
the first day she had got to her new
home.

could neither sit still nor lie quietly In

would irritate spots by scratching

them worse. A doctor treated him

Mouse,s cocoanut House.

Mouse's Cocoanut House.
In the West Indies there lived lit
tie mouse who liked eocoanuts. He
found tree of them, and up he ran
joyfully and searched for fine soft
one. He gnawed little hole. and then
he gnawed this bigger, big enough for
him to crawl through. In he went,
delightedly. Here was a palace. in
deed-a nice, soft place to lie, and
plenty to eat and drink. The food in
the palace was so good that he ate and
ate and ate and ate, and when he was
thirsty he drank Of the cocoanut milk.
Now cocoanut milk fattens mice
quicker than anything else does. So
before our mouse knew what had hap
pened he had grown so fat that he
could not get out of the cocoanut by
the hole through which he had en-
tered. Now, the worst Of 1t was that
when mousie got fat he got lazy. too,
and he didn't care much whether or
not he ever got out Of his nice, warm
home
And that was how 1t happened that
when the cocoanut gatherers came to
that tree they found mouse in one

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Pretty Experiment.

Any child can easily perform this
pretty experiment in Capitalization.
Take some common soda and dissolve
as much in water as the water will
hold. When no more soda will dissolve,
although you stir 1t up, the water Is
what we call saturated solution.
After the remaining soda has settled
to the bottom pour Off the clear solu-
ton into a tall glass. tie q large bean
to one end of a thread and small
piece Of glass or stone at the other
end. The thread should be just long
enough to let both these objects hang
in the solution while the middle of the
thread rests on a stick placed across
the top of the glass.
Leave it alone for few days and
you will find that the bean is covered
with sharp little needles of soda look
ing like hoarfrost, while the stone or
glass has not changed. The reason Is
that the bean has absorbed water and
in SO doing has crowded out the soda.
which deposits itself on the outside of
the bean, while the stone. since it can
not absorb water, remains unchanged.
