A Dandelion's $ Way.
From the Child's Hour.

From the Cbild's Hour
A dandelfon loves to have her own
way. just as you and l do. She loves to
grow up tall, with fine long stem.
nodding and shaking her head and
Swaying merrily in the wind and sun
shine. When the storm comes beating
down she draws her green waterproof
cloak up over her head. and while the
thrush sings SO cheerfully she makes
merry with the raindrops-gay little
dandelion.
But the dandelion cannot always have
her own way. sweet as it is, for there is
the gardener who comes cutting her
down cruelty with the lawn mower
again and again.
How discouraginS all this is when one
feels herself made to live on a long
stem with such jocund friends as the
rain. the wind and the sunshine. But
the dandelion is not to be discouraged
and in a wise little brown heart she
considers how she may best adapt her
self to such adverse circumstances as
gardeners and lawn mowers.
The next day she comes up as light
and friendly as ever, only with shorter
stem. Again she is cut down. and again
shorter stem.
At last she is trampled upon and
bruised and crushed under foot to the
earth, but the brightness and gladness
and beauty are still there in the faithful
brown heart, and. gazing steadfastly
into heaven. she sends up one trustful
little bud without any stem at all.
Her sister dandelions do the same and
they bloom and bloom until the green
lawn looks as il it were buttoned down
all over with pieces of brightest gold.
This is true story: but If you don't
believe it you may ask the dandelion.

Senator Nathan p. Bryan of Florida
told this anecdote along the Weary

Some time ago a hobo meekly tap
ped on the back door of suburban
home and asked for something to eat.
The good housewife responded that
she would feed him on the back step
along with Fido, providing he was
willing to earn the meal by cleaning
out the gutter.
The tramp agreed, and when he had
eaten his way through several sand
wiches to feeling of happiness, the
housewife came out with reliable
looking hoe.
You needn't have gone to that trou-

the farm implement. II never use 9

with a wondering expression. What

ONE BOYS BRILLIANT IDEA
Youngster Told His Father to Tr,
Scissors and So Invented Reap
ing Machines.

In 1890 Obed Hussey OF Ohio was in
venting a reaping machine, the frs
ever designed in this country
His chief difficulty was the cutting
device, which was three large sickles
set in a frame and revolved SO as to
cut into the grain. It would not worl
satisfactorily.
A young son, watching the expert
ment, asked his father why he did moi
use a lot of big scissors, with one
handle fastened to one bar, and the
other handle to sliding bar, thus
opening and closing them.
Hussey instantly adopted the idea
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are in common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to tibet of
scissors
From the boys suggestion he per
fected in one week a machine on
which he had in vain exercised all
his ingenuity for the preceding two
years.
The principle of the cutting device
is the principle of all of the great har-
vesting machines, and its benefit to
the farming industry of the entire
world has been unsurpassed by any
other invention for use on the farm
Saint Nicholas.
