French Children AT Play

and as the three of them continued
the work of packing the leaves into
their baskets and carrying them to
the shed they were actually having
more fun and feeling happier than IL
they had had a dozen bonffres to burn.
AT last the last bit of the bonfire
had disappeared and the woodshed
was chock full. Then they hid be-
hind the shed, for they had heard
Mrs. Williams returning. 1t was not
long before she limped out to the
sheu TO get some kindling with
which to build a fire. When the bows
saw what a surprise they had given
the old woman and noticed the tears
come to her eyes, not a one regretted
in the least that they had given I'D
their bonfire. All she could say was
to murmur over and over, "I.awsy

When she had returned to the
house with a basket full of leaves. the
boys slipped out from their hiding
place and ran home, feeling happier
than they had ever felt before.

to follow in his brothers footsteps.
While still a mere boy-far too
young to really be in the business
his brother gave him a sum of money
and sent him out over the county
"swappin' hosses." He worked for an
entire summer at 1t, too.
When Representative Alben w.
Barkley, OF Kentucky, was q boy he
lived on a farm and was not exactly
In love with the hard work and manv
chores he had to do. In fact he
longed to be able to wear clean
clothes, stand-up collar, pressed
clothes and shoes that shined. And.
according to his way of thinking. the
thing to do was to become a clerk
in dry-goods store. Always when
he went into town on SATURDAYS. he
would see the trim, neat clerks be-
hind their counters and long to be
one OF them. He never realized this
boyhood ambition.
To be baseball player, a telegraph
operator and a crack shot was the
three-fold ambition of little bow in
the town of Manchester, New Hamn-
shire. His name was Eugene Elliott
Reed, and he is now a Representative
In Congress from that State. One
day, while out hunting with his older
brother he fired at a squirrel. missed
him, and the gun "kicked' him fiat
on his back.
His brother laughed at him and
Eugene became enraged. He Jumped
to his feet and exclaimed: Some day
I'll grow up and be better shot than
you or anybody else!" It Is interest
ing to note that he is now the anna
teur champion live bird and CLAW
pigeon shot of his State; also, in 1907.
he was the amateur champion of ali

many other championships.

maybe, consider them n bit too much
of a juvenile amusement. But what

Tops are his hobby. He has in his

unusual ones they are. too. What Is
more, he spins them and takes keen
delight in doing so. Many of them are
mechanical marvels; and he Is now

was responsible for three boys living
In three houses in a row and having
names that sounded so poetical. The
odore Holden's name was naturally
abbreviated to Ted. King Lakeman
was nicknamed Red because = well,
now. why do you suppose? And as
for Ned Tindall. he had never been
known by any other name than Ned.
So we have them-Ned and Ted and
Red. Having been introduced to our
characters, all about the same age
and living in three houses IN row,
we will proceed with our tale.
One evening after school. when the
boys were together, Ned said:
Lets have a bonfire."'
Lets do" said Ted.
I'm in on It," said Red.
Having agreed to have bonfire,
the boys took look at their various
lawns and tried to estimate the
amount of leaves they could gather
together Each agreed that there
was material for one of the biggest
bonfires that had ever been burned
in the town. 1t happened that the
three lawns had not been raked since
the autumn leaves began to fall. and
in some places, where the maple trees
were close together, the leaves had
drifted to depth of six inches or
more.
"When'll we build it?" asked Ted.
"Tomorrow's Saturday" replied
Ned. Lets build it then
do you think our folks will let
us?" suggested Red. obviously.
Sure" replied Ted. They'll be
glad to have those leaves off the
yards"

Ned.
"In front of Reds house." said
Ted. His house is between ours"
but If Red gets his leaves raked
off first he must come and help carry
ours over to the pile"
"All right" agreed Red.
Consent was readily obtained to
have the fire. for each boys father
was glad enough to have the yard
cleaned. though each couldn't help

NJ o. you ever stop and think, when
HN you are sewing away of an after
~ noon, what a wonderful thing is
the thread?
T1 begin with, It is made in large
factories and there. too, are manufac-
tured the wooden spools on which 1t
is wrapped for the market. Perhaps
you have wondered why thread is
numbered. This is to distinguish be-
tween the different kinds of thread.
No. 1 is the heaviest cotton thread;
it takes $40 yards of this to weigh a
pound. With this as basis, No. so
must be exactly fifty times as fine cot
ton as is No. L; in fact, any number
you find marked on spool of cotton
signifies that the cotton is precisely
that many times finer than No. 1.
The highest number in general use
is one hundred. or course you know
that there are three different kinds
of thread-cotton. linen and silk.
