there is that the Southern Pacific

From a railroad man l met up in that

that the Southern Pacific was in en-

out of San Diego to Yuma. and that
eventually it would be the western

SORROW.

Sorrow was Il ship, l found.
Wrecked with them n pit in her are
On an island richer far
Than the port where they were bound.
Fear was but the awful boom
OF the old great bell of doom;
Toiling far, from earthly air
For all worlds to go to prayer
Pain, that to no mortal clings,
But the pushing of her wings.
That we have no use for vet.
And the uproOting of our feet
From the soil where they are set,
And the land we reckon sweet,
Loe i'm growth the grand deceit
Whereby men the perfect greet:
Love in wane, the blessing sent

WHEN 1T is HOT.

Consider Mr.. Shadrach,
OF fiery furnace fame;
He didn't bleat about the heat
or fuss about the flame
He didn't stew and worry,
And get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and, gin
And other cooling drinks"
Consider Mr.. Meshach,
Who felt the furnace, too;
He let it sizz. nor Queried rs
1t hot enough for YOU"
He didn't mop his forehead
And hunt = shady spot;
Nor did he say, Gee. what a day,
Believe me, it's some hot"
Consider, too, Abed-ne-go,
Who shared his comrades plight;
He didn't shake his coat and make
Himself a holy sight.
He didn't wear suspenders
Without a coat and vest;
Nor did he scbwl and snort and howl,
And make himself a pest.
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made.
They didn't curse when it was worse
Than ninety in the shade.
They mol ed about sercnely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot that it was hot.
With no relief in sight"

The weapon is the boomerang, and
1t is so constructed that no matter in
what direction it may be thrown, it
will return to the place from which it
started, describing a curved line as 1t
does so. The savages used it with
such dexterity that they could make
it travel around q house in a curve
and return to their feet Or they could
throw it the ground in such a way
that it .ould fly into the air, describe
an arc over their heads, and come
down on the back of the one who
threw IT.
Your miniature boomerang should be
cut out of stiff cardboard, the form be-
ing somewhat like a right angle, ex-
cept that the corner should be round
ed both outside and inside. The illus
tration will give you the idea. The
strip should be about half an inch
wide, and each end, or stem, a few
inches long.
To throw it so that it will return to
your feet, lay 1t on a book held at a
slight angle, allowing one end of it to
project about an inch over the side of
the book, and then strike the project
ing end with lead pencil or a stout
penholder. After little practise you
will be able to make it fly OFF and come
back with you.

THOMAS A. EDIsoN'S OFFICE
Great inventor Had Newspaper Plant
on Board Railroad Train-"Sen-
sation" Duly Displayed.

Thomas A. Edison, the great inven-
tor, had a difficult time OF it when he
was a boy, just as SO many others of
our famous men have had. His father
died when he was young and his
mother, left with her family In her
Ohio home, bravely faced a difficult
problem, and that was-hoW to pro-
vide for her young children AS soon
as Thomas was oId enough he secured
a place on one of the railroads be-
tween Chicago and New York as news
boy. 1t was long before newspaper
trains had been thought of, and it was
his work to look after the delivery of
the papers at the various stations.
This work was difficult, but he kept
faithfully at it and by his energy won
the regard of his employers.
Young Edison soon afterward sc.
cured a position as baggageman on the
road. About the first thing he did in
that position was to set up a small
printing Office in one end of the car
and all his spare hours on the long
trips were spent In getting out little
newspapers, which he disposed of at
the villages along the road. He ar
ranged with a man in Chicago To
telegraph him the important news OF
the day. He received these dispatches
at various stations, and by the time
he had reached the next, his little pa.
per was sent out with the sensation
duly displayed.

bABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it. spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was Oh
his hands and arms. bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuttcura Ointment In three days
after using them hesbegan to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind His
hair came out in little curIs all over
his head. 1 don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. I think Cuticura IS a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
l have ever used for toilet purposes" -

SMALL INDIAN SEWING BIRDS
Build Their Nests In Trees Where
Frisky Little Monkeys and Snakes
Cannot Find Them.

In far-off India there live little yell
low birds about as large as your IA
theirs thumb. They are called tailor
birds, because they sew. Monkeys and
snakes also live in this faraway land,
and they eat birds.
But the tailor birds are very wise.
They build their nests where they can
not be seen by the hungry monkeys.
They pick up a dead leaf and fly up
into high tree, and, with fiber for
a thread and their bills for needles,
sew the leaf onto a green one hang
ing from the tree. They sew up the
sides and leave the top open. After
laying some of their soft feathers

And the frisky monkeys never know

the smaller part for the basin and the
larger for the reservoir Sink the
