a TOY WATER MOTOR.

The toy water motor shown in the
Illustrations may be operated in

dry tub will generally be the most
satisfactory place because down in
the laundry you will have more room
in which to rig up the toys that you
wish TO run, and at the same time
YOU will not be in anybody's way.
Aside from operating toys with a
water motor, the writer and his
friends used to have a great deal of
fun rigging up a dozen or more
wheels of different sizes and betting
one to another with belts of clothes
Inc aad heavy cord in such a way as
to have them running at various
speeds. SpoOls, clothesline pulleys,
bicycle wheels, sewing machine
wheels. and homemade wooden pull
ley wheels were used, and when all
we're set in motion they produced as
much noise as is made in small

the fascinating features Of the
scheme.
You can probably get a small
grocery box for the case of your wa
Ter motor: if not, it will be a simple
matter to cut down a box. A narrow
strip should be removed from the top
board Of each side of the box, as
shown in Fig. 2, or else a small strip
should be nailed to the top edge of
each side board, to form outlets for
the waste water. Zig. 81
Figs. 3 and 4 show the details for
the water wheel. The diameter of
this should be several inches shorter
than the height of the box. After

aggressive from the call of time.
Gotch, however, managed to put Burns
to the mat and held him there for ten
minutes. Burns tried desperately to
rise. Burns finally broke away, but
Gotch threw him heavily on his head.
The veteran and his pupil mixed it
sayagely. Burns secured a deadlock
which Gotch broke with difficulty.
Burns followed up his advantage, and
fastened on a double bar lock with
which he pinned Gotch to the mat for
the second fall, also in 1890.
Gotch rushed in to finish his tutor
in quick order in the third bout, but
Burns by a shift and trip threw
Gotch nearly off the mat. Gotch rush.
ed in desperately and put Burns to the
mat He tried for toe hold, but
Burns finally broke the grip. Gotch
scored half-nelson, but Burns coun-
tered with an arm lock, and put Gotch
on his shoulder. Gotch secured a
toe lock, and had Burns near a fall,
when the veteran, with supreme ef-
fort, broke the grip and came to the
top In a mixup. Gotch secured a half
nelson after coming out of a bad grip
and won the bout In 1910.
Farmer Burns, veteran of thou
sand thrilling encounters on the mat,
had met his match at last in his pro-
tege. The master slowly but surely
was going down before youth and
strength and skill. Burns had been
able to defeat Gotch when he knew
nothing about the science of wrestling,
but knowledge made the youngster
invincible. Burns gained applause
by throwing Gotch over his head,
but that only added to the youn-
ster's ferocious attack, and he pinned
his tutor to the canvas for the decid-
ing fall with a half-nelson and crotch
in 1925.
Burns addressed the crowd, telling
them that Gotch was in the grandest
condition of his career, and that he
would certainly defeat Jenkins for
the championship.

INJURIOUS HABITS OF HENS
Pulling and Eating Of Each Others
Feathers May Be Cured by Al
lowing Them Free Range.

Sometimes a flock OF hens acquire
the habit of pulling and eating each
others feathers. In some cases they
are so bad that the flesh of the fowls
become torn and sore, and the whole
flock is nearly naked.
When they first show the signs of
this vice measures should promptly
be taken to cure them.
The trouble is caused by too closely
confining the fowls and allowing
them to be idle Where possible they
should be turned on the range where
the fascination of chasing bugs and
eating the green stuff will make them
forget the bad habit.
When they cannot be turned out
they should be made TO scratch for
their grain in deep litter. Bundles
Of wheat or oats. or sunfiower heads
may be hung up Just high enough
that they will have to work to get the
seeds. Give them some turnips or
mangle beets or cabbage heads to
work at-anything to keep them in
exercise and busy. Feed them plenty
of green food. meat. meal. beef scraps
and green cut bone.

came down 10 the river and rolled
the clay man into the water. The

for the man. "Oh!," said the boys,
''he just got up and wandered off,"
The fool was very much excited He
was pleased to know that his man

him on the street. Pretty soon he

he thought must he the man he had

walked of from school without fin

lame, they always feel their defcien-
cics, they might have gotten more

to get married or TO earn little
quick money, or something of that
sort, and dropped out of school. They
didn't persevere. As an old mountain

satisfied" "
