FOR THE CHILDREN
A Secret.

What was Ii trying to sing or say.
That merry brooklet. skipping away?
What had It seen or what had it heard
From leaf or blossom. squirrel or bird
TO set it off in dance and song
AS through the woods it hurried along?
How it f1uttered and how 1t foamed;
How it rippled as on it roamed!
How 1t chartered and laughed and played
AS miniature waterfalls it made!
How it glittered and how 1t shone
AS through the foliage glanced the sun!
How it bubbled and how it whirled
As in and out it eddied and curled!
Oh, If 'twould only tell to me
All it can hear and all it can see!
What did it mean and what did it say
Out in the woods that summer day?
1t would not tell me. It hurried on
Till all the sunny hours were gone
But coming out where the meadow grass
Caresses the crystal drops which pass,
Still and quiet, it fingered there
1t might be saying its evening prayer.
For just as the stars came out to peep
It hushed it's murmurs and went to sleep.

The Question:.

The children had been teasing grand
father with questions all the long,
rainy afternoon. He had been very
patient, but he had not read his news
paper.
They had asked where clouds came
from and where they We're going;
where the sunbeams were when it
rained and why no one had ever
counted the sand particles on the
shore; but when they asked where yes
terday had gone grandfather sighed.
Don't bother him any more" Mary
said.
Grandfather laughed. let me ask
you question:" he said, land if you
can't answer it you must not ask me
any more today
The children agreed to this plan and
grandfather asked, How can you
make eight out of thirteen?"
The children retired to a corner and
were still for some time. At last Dor
othy tiptoed back. Can it be done on
paper?" she asked.
Yes" said grandfather. land with
one stroke of the pencil"
The children trotted away to the II
brary, and no more was heard from
them until tea time. Their faces show.

After tea grandfather called then
and drew the Roman numerals-thir

The Magic Answer.

When you have company, get one
to be the accomplice and show the
others this bit of magic.
The accomplice leaves the room,
while the others decide on an article
which the accomplice is to guess from
your questions.
You have arranged with him that
the right article is the one after you
have mentioned one beginning with
vowel
You can make this as mysterious as
you like.
For instance the article agreed on
by the company is the clock. When
your accomplice comes back you ask
him rs it a mirror?' mirror begins
with q consonanD. No"
rs it chair?" (Chair begins with a
consonanb. NO"
lis it the carpet?" Carpet begins
with a consonant). NO"
rs it the album?" (Album begins
with q vowel No"
rs it the clock?' Yes"
Should any of the company catch on
or should you want to vary the
magic" you decide with your accom-
plice to name an object with legs.
like table or chair, before giving the
object agreed upon and to which the
final answer is Yes"

The New York Times calls attention
20 the disgrace brought upon the pro
fessions of law and medicine by such a
degenerate Iunatic with money as Har-
ny Thaw, and says that the lawyers
and medicine experts who are selling
their services to the colossal vanity of
Thaw are stultifying themselves and
holding up two governments to ridicule
in their efforts to keep Thaw out of
Matteawan. When Thaw was facing
the electric chair for the murder Of
Stanford White, plenty of medical ex-
perts testified that the murderer was
insane. Then, after he was acquitted
of murder ON the ground of insanity,
Thaw had no trouble in securing med
ical experts to testify that he was
sane, showing how money can secure
expert testimony when it is needed i'll
such cases as this of Thaw

One OF the principal reasons why
Japan does not wish for war with the
United States is to be found in the
fact that one third of Japan S exports
come to this country. In 1912 the val
ne of the goods imported from Japan
amounted to $S4,o0o,oO0, and our ex-
ports to Japan were valued at sos ,0O0,-
600. With such trade balance in her
favor Japan cannot he blamed for
thinking twice before taking any
steps that would disturb the cordial re-
lations now existing between the two

at the school Usually each school
gives a list of the things that students
will need In some schools the pupils
are required to supply their own tow
els and soap.
A neat but inexpensive dressing case
or brush and comb set, 4 well sup

with cotton and plenty of needles,
scissors and thinbles should not be
forgotten
Instead of encumbering the fair girl
student with a lot of things for fur
nishng her room, allow her to decide
what she may need by looking over
the field. Some schools are very gen
erous in the matter of furnishings.
while others provide very bare looking
rooms. good supply of pillows, the

The seIectmen may be right in their
opinion that sentiment in favor of a
slope in the rear of the Brattleboro
House lot is increasing, and then again
they may not However that may be,
the fact is that there is a big difference
of opinion as to how the lot should be
treated, and The Reformer believes
that an expression of sentiment should
be taken before any decision is reach

Do either of these birds still exist:
The passenger pigeon and the great
aux? If so, state where found and
in what numbers
The passenger pigeon is practically
extinct. 1t is 4 species of wild pigeon
of migratory habits and was formerly
found in great numbers throughout
the Mississippi valley, but it was
hunted so industriousIv that but few
are left today. No specimens Of the
great aux have been seen since the
forties of the last century, when a
number of them were killed in the
region of Ireland, so it is believed
that the bird is extinct. 1t used to
be found along the Atlantic coast
north of Massachusetts. As the small
wings of the great aux were but
feeble members compared with its
three feet or so OF height, the bird
could not fly and was easily caught
and killed.
