Ethel pleaded.

"Of course not"
well, l can teach you in an hour

Nov you're joking again.
NO. I'm not. | was only speaking
Boston Latin which every youngster,
boy or girl within so miles of the
Hub spoke fluently along in the early
'70s.
"Now, pay attention: Every word,
barring few authorizations, Is spell
ed out in English in disguised alpha
bet. That makes it rather slow
speaking, but it is blind enough to
everybody who doesn't know the trick.
"In this alphabet all the vowels are
pronounced and written naturally,
Most of the consonants are sounded
and written with the initial letter, a
u and the initial letter repeated
Thus is "a be is 'bub' and so on.
But there are some consonants that
do not work well that way. For ex'
ample, c is cause" Another such let
ter is b. Huh would not be euphoni,
Gus, so we call h hash The other
letters of similar difficulty are q, W.

"Now, do you understand my cause

( Surely; my child" Ethel replied
Ethel had her lesson in mind all day

SUNDAY MANNERS OF CROWS
Sets That Day Apart for General Pill
Iaqe and Marauding and Gloats
Over Helpless Victims.

Did you ever hear how the Scotch
crow observes the Sabbath? 1t is no
uncommon thing to hear elderly peo-
pie born in Scotland say "he is as wise
as a Scotch crow" To the uninitiated
this would not imply very great de-
gree of wisdom, for the crow Is not
generally given credit for being a Sol
ONION in his day and generation. That
is, an American crow is not, but his
Scotch brother may have superior
intellect. At any rate, old Scotch
people think so, for to them this OBJ
servance of Sunday is an evidence OF
great sagacity Unfortunately, how
ever, a crows idea of the sanctity OF
the day does not agree with that OF
his human foe. He remorselessly sets
that day apart as a season for pillage
and general marauding, and boldly
gloats over his helpless victims. Du-
ring the week he discreetly keeps
within the shelter of the woods, but
on Sunday morning when he hears the
church bells ringing and observes the
deserted condition of the fields, he
knows that his time has come and he
unceremoniously pre-empts these
fields for himself, and wantonly feasts
and forages in the few hours that are
his, for he we'll understands that an
other week of fasting is at hand. Such
being the Scotch crows reputation he
is hardly a safe model, notwithstand-
ing his wisdom.

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR

For more than a generation, Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red. rough, chapped
hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfgured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world,
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to "Cuticura." Dept. L, Boston.

Runners Made of Barrel Slaves.

shod with thin piece of iron. A
half-inch hole is bored through the
center of the shaft and a lag screw
put through and turned in the rudder
piece, making it so the rudder will
turn right and left and, also, up and
down. Two cIeats are nailed to the
upper sides of the runners and in the
middle lengthways for the persons
heels to rest against.
Any child can guide this bob, as all
he has to do is to guide the rudder
right and left to go in the direction
named II he wants to stop, he pulls
up on the handle and the heel OF the
rudder will dig into the snow, causing
too much friction for the sled to go
any further.

HARMONICAIN GOAT
PLAYED FINE MUSIC
CarnarSie MournS Loss of Old
Nancy, Who C0uGhed to
an Accompaniment

NEW YORK, March % -Carnarsie
has lost It's musical goat She died
and was buried. No attempt ,%as
made or will be made TO probe Tor
the tunoful instrument that was lodg-
ed within the recesses of the goat
The goat was a part Of the village
and belonged to no one in particular.
She was not handsome goat She
always looked as if she had measles
Yet she was a pet with the natives,
and no one expects to sec her like
again.
Old Nancy, as she was called, con-
tracted bad cold recently, and Il
was seen that she could not live long.
II was the March weather that killed
her.
While rummaging in the rear yard
Of "Sol" Collyer's house the goat
swallowed, among other things, a
harmonica that had been given TO
little George Collyer on Christmas
Day The goat enjoyed the harmonca
until she contracted her cold, and
then the instrument began TO annoy
and make her life miserable.
Every time Old Nancy coughed OF
sneezed. wild and weird strains of
music were heard. No one was
more surprised than the goat and at
times IL frightened her
The goat wandered into the rear
room of the Golden Eagle Hotel, as
was her custom on cold night, and
lay down beside the big stove. She
coughed continuously to an accom-
paniment Old Nancy looked around
with appealing eyes until Pop
Seaton poured a hot drink down her
throat, which gave the goat the hic-
coughs and caused her to break forth
in several rather imperfect musical
selections.
Old Nancy was not much on tech
nique or color. but that was because
she hadn't had time to familarize her
self with the harmonica. II bother
ed her considerably and It was pitiful
to hear her practicing. She had a
large repertoire and it was not sur
prising that she finally expired 10

Me Sleep
