OLD SLEEPS NEW TRICK.

Talk about old sayings" Uncle
Wesley said, "they won't all hold
water. Take, for instance, that one
about you can't teach an old dog new
tricks. I saw it exploded today. You
know my old Shep! He's mighty
smart old dog, but always was too
much for meddling in things that
didn't concern him. 1t has always
made him mad as fire for one of those
automobiles to go by our house.
Nov just so long as they stay on
the road, I am not going to have any
words with 'em, but old Shep, every
time he'd hear a horn toot, out he'd
go, and chase 'em clean to the turn of
the road, barking like he'd eat lem
alive. Seemed like he couldn't get
used to EN- Just got madden and
madden every time one came along.
To-day, when a great big one came
down the road, hooting louder than
usual, out goes old Shep, barking every
jump, and grabbed one of the wheels
somewhere.
II don't know how in earth he did
it, but he got hold some way. The
machine didn't slow up, and old Shep
went over and over, pounding that
hard road till he either had the gump-
ton to let or had all the gumption
knocked out of him, I couldn't tell
which.
He got up and 1imped back into the
yard and lay down, and said to Mary,
old Shop will sure have reasons of
his own for disliking those things
from now on. Wouldn't be surprised
if I'd have to chain him to keep him
from tearing 'em to pieces
"Along after dinner / heard one
coming down the road. Old Shep,
he heard it, too. He sat up and
listened minute, then he just tucked
his tail and lit out across the back
pasture for the woods-lot.
He's learnt a new trick all right
the trick of tending to his own bust
ness"

WHEN FATHER TAKES NE FOR
WALK.

When father takes me for walk
1t makes me glad all day.
He puts his hand in mine and says:
Nov, Captain, lead the way"
I take him to the chipmunk's hole,
To ponds where fish are thick;
And where the big boys dig for bait,
He whites me stick.
And makes willow whistle, too,
That we take turns to blow,
We scatter petals in the brook
And wonder where they go.
Then, when we're tired, we start for
home
And talk of lots of things,
Why mother has such cuddly ways,
Why birds and bees have wings.
And father talks of business, too,
And asks me my advice,
Now wouldn't you, if you were there
Think walks like that are nice?

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE LAZY WINDMILL.

Once upon a time there was big
old windmill. It belonged to the
farmer
1t had worked hard for many many
years, and the farmer, when speaking
of it, used to call it "Old Faithful"
But one day the windmill had
stopped working.
The wheel stood perfectly still. A
strong wind passed by. 1t said to the
windmill: Come, come! Why are
you not at work? Let me help you
turn your wheel"
mo, no. said the windmill, Il do
not wish for your help. shall rest
all day today. I am so tired!"
20, but we must always work be-
fore we rest said the wind. Come,
shall be glad to help YOU The
wind blew upon the wheel. The wheel
would not turn.
II will try again. said the wind. So
it blew long and hard.
IT do not have to mind you!" said
the windmill. Il tell you l am tired,
and shall rest today! Go away, old
wind"
| So the wind sighed and went away.
30, how fine it is to rest!" said the
windmill
All day long it remained still.
| It grew late and the tired horses
came home. They had worked hard
all day long in the hot sun.
They were so thirsty.
When they saw the windmill, they
started into little trot, in their haste
to reach the water tank
Poor, tired horses! 1t was empty.
"Is the windmill broken?" asked the
farmer.
''No, it is all right
"Why hasn't it worked today? The
wind blew hard, too. l can't under
stand this!" he said.
The COWS came for a drink.
The sheep came for drink.
The chickens came for drink.
The dog came for drink.
The birds came for drink.
There was no water.
20, why didn't I work. said the
windmill.
There is no water for the horses
and cows. There is no water for the
sheep and chickens!"
20, am so sorry didn't work.
And the windmill began to creak and
groan in sorrow.
80, I wish the wind would blow!
would work so hard that the tank
would soon be full!
A gentle wind came.
1t tried to turn the wheel, but i
was too weak; so it called it's friends
The friends came. They all pushed
and pushed. Suddenly the whee
stopped creaking and groaning, and
as it whirled merrily around, it sang
this song:
with the wind to help me,
Round and round I'll go;
Then the sparkling water
To my tank I'll flow"
Soon the tank was full of clear
cold, sparkling water, and, as the ami
mails eagerly drank their fill, the whee
busily turned round and round hum
ming contentedly to itself. "

THE PUNcTUAL GIRL.

The punctual girl is always a
thoughtful girl. She is the girl who
does not delay in doing an errand;
who never keeps the breakfast wait
ing while she repairs some for got
ten damage to her clothes. No one
is ever kept waiting while she
sews rip in her dress or break in
her glove. These things are all done
in season. She never puts off doing
a thing at the right time, because
she has learned that when a thing has
been attended to, and put away, there
is no need to worry about that par
ticular thing.
She is the girl who is at her desk
on time if she is one of the great
army of working girls. Her employer
and friends all know that she will be
ready for business or pleasure at the
appointed time.
This girls nerves are in good order
because she never has to hurry or
worry to "catch up" some work that
has been neglected at the proper time,
and her life runs on smoothly and

neglected appointment is worrying
her, or making her restless. Charac-
ter is not formed in a minute. This
girl has been training herself for
years to be punctual. She is ever
ready for emergencies, for this habit
of punctuality now touches her life In
all its relations and she is making her
influence felt in her own family, at
least, for they must come to see the
wonderful advantage OF being always
ready, always on time. The 4punctual
girl, while she is earnest and woman

ly, has not lost any of her girlish
charm. Her outlook is encouraging,
new chances are constantly opening
to her for advancement because it is
known that she can be relied upon.

PYRENEES WOOL.

Wrappers Of Pyrenees wool are some
thing quite new in the states. They are
made by the women OF the Pyrenees from
cloth which they themselves have woven
from the wool of their mountain sheep,
after cardlng and spinning it. These
wrappers are bought by tourists. and many
Of them were brought 70 America this fall.
They are rather voluminous, and some OF
the returned tourists are transforming
them into polo coats. choosing white or
wood color instead Of the brilliant hues.
The coats are admired not only for their
novelty. but also for their combined
warmth and lightness.
While Americans have only just dis
covered this warm. light and fluffy fabric,
Spanish women have used It FOR many
years for the negligees in which they take
their sestas in cold weather, and to suit
their love Of color II IS dyed in softly
brilliant hues.

they'll put her under a good, wholesome
