the same time did the calling off,
Nick hadn't danced for many a year,
but the old fashioned music and the
work of the iddlers put "devilment in
to his heels and he was soon on the
floor.

Sensible people when they grow old

Youth is a good deal of a stranger and a
pilgrim in the universe. The ageing man
discovers a realness and a nominees in

Youth has no sense Of proportion. He

he gets old he begins to say. with Emer-

that the only dependable improvement in
society is that which grows, not that
which is forced. The youths optimism
is a kind of enlarged egotism; the optim-
ism of old age is an appreciation of the
friendliness of nature.
Dung men are dazzled by institutions,
imposed upon by organizations, over
awed by the presumptuous authority of
the past. Old men come to value per-
sonality more than these things. There
is nothing worth while but to express

Sometimes-the little girl told Bobbie-
on a real hunt the men would keep UP the
dance for two or three days or until one
of the scouts, who had been sent out to
look for herd, returned to say that the
buffaloes were In sight. This was just
what the children pretended had happen
ed. for in few minutes one OF the boys
ran to Dohasan to tell him that a herd
had been seen.
Then came the most exciting part, for
all the boys crept along ever so quietly
and formed single row I'm front of a
clump of bushes that Dohasan declared
was the herd of buffaloes. When each
was in his place and made believe to
be on horse. Dohasan gave the word
to charge and they all rushed into the
buffalocs as hard as they could. shouting
and yelling and shooting their arrows.
Each boy pulled up the bushes that had
caught his arrows and they ali went
laughing and dragging the bushes back
to the place where the girls had made the
camp.
OF course had they brought real buff
faloes the busiest time of the hunt would
have been vet to come. for the animals
would have been skinned and their skins
stretched out on the ground to dry and
the meat cut up for food. But when
they had captured only bushes the hunt
was over.

was feeling pretty tired by this time.
and SO when the boys asked Dohasan
to sit down and tell them story he
was mighty glad
