"He sho do look lonesome" said
Billy; "vite him over, Jimmy"
"Leon!" screamed his cousin, you

The lonesome-looking little boy
promptly accepted the invitation, and
came primly through the two gates
He walked proudly to the swing and
stood, cap in hand, waiting for an in

Frances and Lima made room for
him between them and soon gave him
their undivided attention, to the in
tense envy and disgust of the other
two little boys.

little stranger, is one Tabernicle

Jimmy giggled happily. What d

Closer Than a Brother.


1t was d bad, rainy day. Jimmy and
Billy were playing in Sarah James
cabin, she, however, being in happy
ignorance of the fact. Her large
stays, worn to the preaching the night
before. were hanging on the back of a
chair.
"Ain't l glad don't have to wear
no corset when / puts on long pants?"
remarked Billy, pointing to the article.
"Ain't that q big one? It's twice s
big S Aunt Minerva's."
MY mamma wears big co'set,
too said Jimmy; Il like fat wom-
ans mother sight better n lean ones.
Miss Minerva's bout the skinniest
woman they is; when / get married
I'm going to pick me out the latest
wife can find, so when you set
in her lap at night for her to rock you
to sleep you'll have a soft place to put
your head, while she sings to you
''The major-he's NOS plump
enough for two" said Billy, taking
down the stays and trying to hook
them around him.
1T sho' is big" he said; 81 berlieve
it's big 'nough to go round both of
us"
Les see if t ain't,' was the other
boys ready suggestion.
He stood behind Billy and they put
the stays around both little bodies,
while. with much squeezing and gig
Cling, Billy hooked them safely up
the front. The boys got in front of
Sarah James one looking-glass and
danced about laughing with glee.
Were like the twinses what was
growed together like mamma read me
bout" declared the younger child
Presently they began to feel I'M
comfortable, especially Jimmy, whose
fat, round little middle was tightly
compressed.
Here, unlock this thing, Billy, and
les take her off," he said. I'm
bout to pop open"
"All right" agreed his companion.
He tugged and pulled, but could get
only the top and bottom hooks I'M
clasped; the middle ones refused to
bulge.
4 can't get these-here hooks to
come loose" Billy said.
Jimmy put his short, fat arms
around him and tried his hand. but
with no better success. The stays
were such snug fit that the hooks
seemed glued.

Cacti for Telephone Poles

The government is to build tele-
phone system for the forestry serv-
ice Of the Coronado forest reserve.
The first of these lines to be built
out of Tucson is to be used into the
Catalinas. and it is there that the
Sahuara experiment is to be tried.
The giant cacti will not be sawed
off and set up nor will they be trans
planted, but the growing plant will be
used as pole where 1t Is found prac-

what approaches alignment. so that
the line will not have to zigzag too
much, the sahuara up in the canons
through which the line will pass are
to be utilized for the purpose of at
taching brackets to which the wires
will be fastened. And so the secret is
out.
Along the proposed line it is diff.
cult to set poles, owing to the rocky
nature of the country traversed. Not
only is this the case. but it is diff
cult to get the poles up there in the
