as can be ascertained there is no foun-
dalton for the story.

the barley, corn and potato growing

mic of the Scott County Improvement

plete The scores so far show, now

the barley growing contest, having
quite lead over his nearest competl-
tor. Fred Hauer, rural route NO. f.
Davenport, brought in the best sample
of corn and Henry Meints of Dixon,
Ia, had the best samples Of potatoes.
There were about 1000 people at the
picnic. But very few autos were on
the grounds, as the rains had made
the roads in the northern part OF the
county so muddy that not many came
from that section of the country. This
reduced the attendance at the picnic
considerably.

eye Of the officer was attracted to
pair of new shoes which one of the
men was carrying. He approached
them, whereupon they separated and
started TO walk away. They were
quickly placed under arrest. When

There is nobody of the name having
an office in the building.
Pay Taxes.-Davenport people are
paying taxes more rapidly this year
than last, a condition that is not at all
displeasing to City Treasurer Will
Moth. The books are about $4,000
ahead of the amount paid in at the
same date last year, arguing well for
the prosperity of property holders and
the condition of the money market.

REMEMBER YOUR "INGS."

| suppose you are all, or nearly all,
going to school every day, and among
other things are learning to write,
spell and-talk. Talk Why, you
learned to talk in the first grade or
even before you started to school.
Yes of course you did in a way. But,
let me ask you, how do you say the
word "running?" You may write it
running; you may say running"
when you read at school, but, honest
ly now, how do you say it when you
talk?
Do you say, 81 was runnin' and
jumpin, F" or do you say, 81 was
running and jumping?" You say it
the first way, do you? Then stop it.
Let me tell you how.
When you are alone, say all the
words you can think of lat least two
dozen) that end in 'ing.' Say them
out loud, so you will become ac-
customed to hearing yourself say them
correctly. The first day after such a
drill you may remember your cling"
only once. The second day you may
remember it twice and the third day
three times. That is good, then keep
right on and soon you will say it
right all the time, without any effort.
OF course if you get SO you can say
your "ings' distinctly, all the time,
do not think you will deserve any
particular credit. You will not, for
you are only speaking properly. You
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that you can say "ing'' instead of
Gin" How long do you suppose it
will take you to make the change?
Try it and see.

the game. One of these is the "door-
keeper, :" the other is the "artist. -
The adjoining room is the "studio. :"
The artist goes into the studio, carry
ing few sheets of paper and pencil
(if these articles are convenient.
The doorkeeper closes the door and
guards it. Facing those in the room
he says: 1.-THE artist will show each
of you the picture of any animal you
ask to see, SO each one think of some
ANIMAL He gives them a moment
to think what one they want to see,
then calls the person nearest who,
we will say, is Fred White. The
doorkeeper asks, "What animal do
you wish to see?" Fred says, 81
want to see an elephant. The door
is opened into the studio and as Fred
passes in. the doorkeeper says to the
artist, erred wishes to see an ele-
phant.'' The door is closed again.
The artist exhibits the desired picture
by holding looking glass SO the
person can see-himSelf.
Of course, each one feels very fool
ish when the "animal' is seen, but
goes back to the waiting crowd and
does not tell the joke. They all take
turn going into the studio and
usually manage to ask to be shown
some animal that is quite hard to
draw, thinking to test the ability of
the artist.
This game could be played only
once during an evening, for as soon
as it is played, every one knows the
joke, but it is great sport if there are
quite number of young people, who
do not know the secret.

in astonishment.
"Merely say, L wish l we're little
and you will be small enough to go
through, - said Prince Tinkle Bell.
They all obeyed and in a second
they were about the same size as the
little man. The children we're quite
surprised at the change and stood for
few minutes looking at themselves
and their playmates.
"Come now," said Prince Tinkle
Bell, starting forward and they all
followed.
The interior of the tree was large
to them now, and on one side some
small stairs went down into the earth.
The Prince descended these stairs,
with the little party closely following.
Down, down, down, they went. My
would those stairs ever end?
No one spoke aloud but once Bertha
whispered to Martha, 81 told you it
was Fairy Tree. -
At last, after what seemed like
hours to the children, they reached
the bottom of the stairs and found
themselves in a large hall, hung with
red satin. At the farther end of the
hall was door.
81 must leave you here," Prince
Tinkle Bell said, "but you go through
that door and also the next three.
Queen Kindheart awaits you there. /"
Saying this, he went to the wall,
parted the satin hangings and disap-
peared.
The children we're greatly disap-
pointed at his leaving and did not
know whether to go back up the stairs
or to go on through the doors to
Queen Kindheart.
