they sat down to rest a while Mar

very much.
They climbed down the other side of

Tapped up some water. which he
thought very good. and Margaret said
he looked happy. They climbed up
hills and down hills. At last Hugh
saw something which he had been
looking for ever since they had started.
He saw a squirrel, and killed it and
took it home.
Buster ran in and out of the trees
hunting for squirrels and rabbits. He
found good many. Hugh shot at
them and killed about four rabbits and
two squirrels.

TIME WILL TELL

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Some people think that the acces-
sion of King George V will somewhat
weaken the British empire. All this
remains for Father Time to ascertain.
King Edward was a very good king
and managed the affairs of the British
empire justly and wisely. King George
has spent a great deal of his life on
the bounding deep and it is said that
he may not do his best in the office
of king. A person who once takes to
a life on the sea usually desires that
kind of life only.
| think, though | am not sure. that
King George V will look after the
present problems of England wisely.
Some people say that HIS wife will
do most of the ruling. l do not take
much stock in such statement Wait
and see as the small hoy says, is the
best solution of the question "Will
King George V make a good king.

A STUBBORN CHILD
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Oracle was a very stubborn child.
Fourth of July was coming near and
the little town of Belmont was going to
have a picnic in the woods. Oracle
and her friend Susie had new dresses
for the occasion
on the morning of the Fourth they
We're making their lunches when she
heard her dearest friend Susie calling
her. She went to the door and found
that they had enough room in their
buggy to take her if her mamma would
let her. She ran in the house quickly
and said:
"Oh, mamma, can 1 go in the buggy
with Susie?"
NO, dear, you had better wait for
mamma" was her mothers answer.
Oracle was very disappointed. She
was i'm such a hurry to go and for
her mother to have her lose this OPP
portunity. So she ran down in the
cellar to cry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed. Gracie's papa and
mamma, were ready to go in a few
minutes. They called her, but she
would not answer, although she heard.
They went to the woods, thinking that
she was gone with Susie. Oracle did
not know that they went, and when
she tried to open the cellar door, alas!
it was locked.
What should she do? Now she could
not go at all.
After she cried and worried a great
deal about it she fell asleep, and had
happy dream.
When her mother and father reached
the woods they looked all over for
Oracle. They found Susie. who also
wanted her. as they were dear friends.
Mrs. Reed worried greatly over her. 1t
was finally decided that Susie and Mrs.
Reed should go home in the buggy and
look for Oracle.
They rode home and went all over
the yard calling "Gracie!"
When Oracle heard she answered at
once, as all her stubbornness was gone.
She was taken from her hiding place
dirty as a pig. She was not fit to go
anywhere, so she went into the house
and tidied up, and they reached the
woods Just in time for dinner.
Although she had missed the races,
she was glad to get there. Mrs, Reed
had a severe headache the rest of the
day. FANNY F'ELDMAN,

MAKING A DOLLS TENT

When at loss to amuse a child try
making a dolls tent from pieces of can
vas or silk. 1t can be adapted to suit
any special sized doll by increasing or
decreasing the dimensions of the sides,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Cut thre acute triangles of the same
size. This means they narrow to a
point at the top.
One of the triangles has an inverted
V-shaped opening for a door. This is
cut about half the height of tent and is
bound with a gay braid. The pieces are
also bound together with the same
braid.
Cut circle of wood big enough to
stretch the bottom of the tent around
and nail it firmly to the wood. Stick
one of the new tall hatpins in the ceter
for a pole and reef the tent to it.
If desired, a curtain can be made for
the tent door. Provide ropes of red
twine to fasten it back. Sew small
hooks to the canvas for the flap fast

A KIND FAIRY QUEEN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
"A holiday" shouted Lewis as he ran
into the kitchen where his mother stood
getting supper.
What will you do them" said his
mother. II have had a sudden call
from your grandmother, as she is very
ill., and you may do as you wish"
He stood lost in thought moment
and then frightened as an idea struck
him.
u know what I will do. I shall take
nv boat and row down to the island"
II will put up a lunch for you, which
I imagine you will enjoy said his
thoughtful mother.
At 10 o'clock the next morning he
was at the island.
While he was exploring the place he
found a cave. He entered, and while
he stood looking around him he sud
denly heard a peal of thunder and a
blast of wind. 1t stopped as soon as it
had come. Before him stood little
dwarf.
He said would you like to visit

the fairies and see the dwarfs work ?"
Il would love to- said Lewis.
Again he heard the thunder and felt
the wind, and was landed in the work
shop of the dwarfs. They were doing
curious work with underground metals.
Then he went into another room
where the fairies were embroidering on
rich cloth
He was taken before the queen, and
she said to him:
Have you little sister?"
mo" said Lewis, but l wish | had.
Then" said the queen, here is
little girl that came here to us, and
we have cared for her for several years.
If you will promise to be good to her
you may take her home with you, but
the minute you break your promise she
shall be taken from you"
II will promise" said Lewis
1t is needless to say that he kept his
promise always They grew up into

PERSONAL CHATS WITH

| have won lately in the drawing con-
test. / have been so busy that l ala
not have time to write befors.
| like the drawing contest very
much, but a friend who is helping me
with my drawing says that she does
not think that l do as well with the
little pictures that | send you as
do with any other drawing and that
| do not get very much benefit from it.
If l do not send drawings to the
Junior so often as I did, I shall still
be quite as interested in it as | was
before VIRGINIA r. SMITH.
1 am sure that every bit of practice
you get will be of benefit and l would
be so sorry if you didn't send me
drawings often. I hope that you will
at least send a picture once in a
while, when the topic suggests some
thing specially interesting.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
The beautiful pennant you sent me
was received last Tuesday I wish to
thank you very much as l like it very
much.

The same old threadbare, non
sensical howl about hard times has
been started by the pie-hunters,
since the Democratic landslide. It
is the way of the corporationists and
special interests. II they can't coax
and buy voters they will coerce
them. Even IL their theory Of
Democratic success and hard times
were correct, there would still be
no cause for alarm for the corpora
tions and trusts still have the SEN
ate and the president and there can
be no adverse legislation for at
least three more years. But If De-
mocracy will bring about hard times
insurgent Republicanism will do
the same thing for they represent
the same principles. An insurgent
Republican who says. that Democrat
ic success will cause hard times is
not only a fool but he is mighty in
consistent.

There is no way in which mem

is defeated. With U. S. Senators

Gov. Stubs may call in an en-
dorsement if he so desires but most
people think differently about it.
Two years ago his plurality was ov-
er $4,000. This year, with an in
creased vote, it is $1,000. The Gov
ernor owes his success wholly to
that element of voters who vote the
Republican ticket straight under all
conditions. Like Hoch in 1906, he
has been discredited.

voters will probably complete the
job. Then the people will come m

then the same old robber prices on

etc, etc, will go on. This, OF
course, is merely speculative. You
can't tell what may take place in tive
years. The trusts may have the peo.

will keep their right senses.
