LITTLE ORIGINAL STORIES.
Not as They Planned.

Not as They Planned
All the boys were getting ready for
an excursion.
They had planned to have good time.
They were going to start early in the
morning. Their lunch baskets were
ready They started and talked and
laughed and were merry. They were
walking in the woods and heard
noise. They heard the noise again and
again. They could not see who or what
made it, But in about a minute they
saw near a big rock an ugly tramp.
They dropped their lunch baskets. The
tramp gave chase. They ran and ran
till they reached home. Home seemed
to be a great way off. But they reach
ed home at last, It was not IL o'clock
vet. They had dinner and when they
told their story everybody laughed at
them. They did not enjoy the day, as
they said they would. Never plan be-
fore; if you do it will go just the OPP
posite way. The rock is now called
Mysterious Rock by the boys.

Money talks, and even hush money
makes more or less noise.
A mans idea of an enjoyable time
is the kind he can't afford.
People may move in the highest cir
cles and yet not get very far ahead.
A woman is awfuly disappointed if
her suspicious fail to come true.
A man never knows where he will
land when he stumbles over his own
bluff.
Almost any man is willing to pose
as a patriot-if he gets paid for it.
Some people couldn't hear the shrill,
small voice of conscience even If it
were shouted through a megaphone.
Nearly every woman is so accus-
toned to acting that she thinks she
would make hit on the stage.
A dutiful husband is one who can
be made to do tricks for the purpose

Some people go home when they
can't go anywhere else, and some go
broke. -Temple Telegram.
We have nodded considerably over
the above paragraph to unfathom it's
deep hidden meaning. We know it's
there, but some how we can't dig it
up. If they can't go anywhere else it
don't look like they would want to go
home. And If they are still in good
standing at home and the door is not
shut on them, why is it they can't go
any where else If they want to? And
why would they want to go anywhere
else IL they can still go home? If
they go broke, it's lead pipe cinch
there's no need to go home nor any
where else.

WHY FRET?

In the November American Maya
zine appears the following:
Are the trains too slow for you?
Caesar, with all of his court, never
exceeded the speed limit.
Are your wages too small? In Eu-
rope people are content with making
a living.
"Are lights too dim? David wrote
his psalms by the light Of smoky
torch.
Are you ugly? Cleopatra, though
homely, bewitched two emperors.
Are you cold? The soldiers of Val
ley Forge walked barefoot on the ice
and snow.
Are you hungry? The children of
India are starving for want of crust
of bread.
Are you tired? Why fret about it
Jacob was tired when he dreamed Of
the angels Of heaven.
"Are you sick? Suppose you had
lived two thousand years ago when
sickness was fatal
Are you poor? The Savior of Men
was not wealthy.
"Cheer up! Praise God that you live
in the midst Of his blessings!
"Why fret?'

just installed such service ON it's
line running into Dallas. 1t begins to
look as If 1t is up to the steam roads
to in some way install frequent and
reliable service, or surrender the pas

to go quick, but they want to go often,
and whoever can offer the service will
get their patronage.

The Hounded Deer

1T doesn't make any difference now. said
hunter o. long experience In the woods In IN aiter
supper talk at Adirondack campfire. 'inasmuch
as the deer hound is no longer permitted to De
part of the hunt, but It is fact that one long
cherished belief of deer hunters is simply
backwoods fable That belief is that deer pur-
sued by hounds when It is taken to stream Will
invariably go down with the current instead OF up
stream It's instinct teaching 1t that If 1t goes up
its scent will pass down with the water and the
dogs will be enabled follow It just as they
did on dry land
Il long ago satisfied myself that water doesn't
carry the scent of deer with 1t. but that on the
contrary 1t destroys the scent
"If the water is deep enough for the deer to
swim 1t suits the fleeing animal best II 1t is not
the deer trots lopes along through It. 1t does
not bound as on land, for 1t must drink and must
drink 1t goes. In the bounding days the hunt
who believed that the deer always went down.
stream and acted in accordance with tina. belief
might recover the trail and he might not, while
the hunter who knows better than to take stock in
that belief would not be a great while In getting
his dogs the scent again.
"Of course l speaking of deer that took to
the mountain stream and not those that found
pond lake more convenient, 1t being the
ture of deer to seek water If possible, when the
dogs on their tracks. In none of the streams
where deer sought to throw the dogs off the scent
could person go many rods up down without
coming to some obstruction in the course of tho
deer which the animal would have to get over.
THE hunter who knew would in the first place
satisfy himself that the deer hadn't gone straight
across the water, and would then go in one di-
recton along the stream until he to the
first log rock other channel obstruction. IL
the deer had gone that way the obstruction in its
path would be wet top from the water that
dropped from the deer 1t climbed over it. If 1t
was dry the hunter would know instantly that the
quarry had not passed in that direction and the
discovery of the spot where the deer had left
the stream would 'e only matter of time.
But the deer doesn't have to take to water any
to eude the hounds and It make no
difference to old time believers In that fable
how many score of deer they have lost through
that belief. Maybe there wouldn't have been so
many deer in the woods today If more of the
hunters contemporary with deer bounding had
known better

INsuREs ECONOMY OF FUEL.
BY Martha Mecullooh Williams.

Paper bag cooking economies
fuel-the fact is demonstrable. be-
yond a doubt. Particularly If the
fuel is gas. The figures to follow are
given for gas. but are easy of trans
lation into coal heat or even oil.
The oven of gas range turned on
full. burns twenty feet of gas an
hour for each hame-bar Commonly
there are two bars-thus, the hourly
consumption at full head is forty feet.
The giant burner on top likewise,
at full head. consumes twenty feet an
hour, the small burners, each ten
feet Thus a stove in full commits.
sion for pot and pan cooking consumes
ninety feet an hour.
Now, for paper bag cooking the
oven must be lighted and turned on
full for eight minutes before any
thing goes into t; 1t must also burn
full strength forseven minutes longer.
Thus, 1t consumes ten feet of gas at
the outset. Turning out one burner to
reduce the heat one-half at the end
of the seven minute period reduces
consumption to fifteen feet for the
rest of the hour, making a total of
roasting does not demand that bur-
ner goes full-turning it down might
save five feet in the hour Thus the
net hour-saving of gas on the oven
account is ten feet
But there are other accounts. By
help of paper bags. you can not mere
ly roast In the oven, but cook at the
same time a couple of vegetables and
bake pie or pudding. With a small
roast you may even cook three veg-
etables. thereby leaving unlighted
three upper jets, which would mean
saving OF thirty feet of gas an hour.
Cooking thus solely in the oven
means saving of fifty feet of gas
an hour.
Nor is this even all the story Mys-
teriously. things cook more quickly
in bags than out of them. The saw
ing in time is one-fifth to one-sixth.
Putting this at the lowest. and esti-
sspating the whole range consumption
Of gas at ninety feet. there is a saw
ing of fifteen feet. Add them to the
dfty feet already in credit, and the
sum is fiattering. indeed. to the paper
bag.

Stacked the heat a minute after put
ting in pie number two. After twenty
minutes-thirty minutes from puttirR
in the first pie-I looked in the oven
The naked pie was cooking creditably
enough, yet was pale-faoed. and the
crust still dentable to the touch. Fur
ther, there were bubbles Of syrup
along sundry spaces of the edge.
l turned on a little more heat and
left the two pies to cook fifteen min
utes longer. The naked one was then
pale. delicate brown on top. with
rather a hard undercrust. The bag
was brown all over and SO crisp the
corners crumbled at the touch. But
from 1t came pie beautiful to be-
hold-light. not pale brown. crisp and
f1aky as to crust. ready to leave the
