The best authorities agree that dogs

blow more severe than slap with the
hand. A dog is intelligent and as sen.

needed to reprove him. If IL is neces.

When the big breezy autumn days
come and the brown leaves rush down
from the trees you and your friends
will probably begin to hunt for horse
chestnuts. You know how you find
them when you are sbuffiing through
the leaves that some one has just piled
up In tidy heap. Sometimes they are
scattered around loose and sometimes
they are still neatly packed into their
neat. coy beds In The great burs And,
oh. don't they look nice and shiny. like
beautifully brushed horses. when you
take them on: of their nest.
But after you have kept them awhile
they get hard and shrunken. SO 1t Is a
good idea to make the best OF them
while they are quite new. Do you
ever make baskets of them?I 1t is

tain Braithwaite Wallis writes In the

The men have fine physiques and very
black skins. and most of them plat
their hair. which is worn about six
inches TO eight inches long. They ap.
peared 10 be well armed with rifles,
guns, spears and swords. While In
this town saw even slaves, who were
held by the leg In wooden stocks.
They had been in that position for
some months. One OF them told me
through the interpreter that he had
been kept thus for two years. He was
a man OF poor physique. and pur-
chaser could not therefore be easily
found for him.
That night, while asleep In my
little hut I'm the town, / was awakened
by hearing gentle chorus OF WON
ems voices singing some yards away.
After few minutes the chorus ceased
and single voice began, in Bande,
an African song. The voice was soft
and melodious, and the tune was fas-
chatting and weird and harmonized
with, the wild environment to which
1t belonged. After n few lines the
other singers Joined, and the result
was most attractive and beautiful,
containing as 1t did such delicate har.
mony with excellent taste. During
the years / have been In Africa do
not remember having heard anything
quite like this singing before, and
shall never forget 1t. The interpreter
told me the next morning that the
song was TO the good spirits. asking
them to guard and protect the white
man and his followers on their Jour
ney."
