Presently the host thought the time
had come for another song, and sent
for Rodger. He could not be found.

OPPORTUNITY FOR FARM BOY
Washington and Lincoln Were Men
of Great Strength and Had Ad-
vantage of Open Air.

For city boys, the correspondence
schools and night schools afford the
best means available in continuing an
education. The main difficulty en-
countered is the fact that their hours
Of employment leave no time or
strength for study. Many have i'm
paired their health in attempting more
than their strength would permit.
Washington and Lincoln were men of
great strength and endurance, and
had the advantage of open-air life in
their youth. This is a tremendous
advantage. All farm boys have it, and
they now have an advantage in many
places after they leave school. Farm
work is educational. The farmer who
keeps his eyes and mind open grows
bigger intellectually every day that he
/ lives. The country agricultural agent,
or demonstrator, adds to this advan-
tage. He brings the school to the
farm. With his help and suggestions,
the boys on the farm can develop
| themselves in way that makes the
educational advantages of the city OF
negligible importance.

Color the Animals to Suit Yourself.

Copyright, by Mcclure Newspaper syndi-
cate.)
Long time ago the animals met and
held a council to decide who had the
nnest coat. In those days, they were
always quarreling about their good
looks. for they did not have enough to
do to keep themselves busy
Far up the creek lived the otter-so
Gar that he very seldom came down to
visit the other animals. 1t was said
that the otter had a very fine coat, but
III had been such a long time since any
Eof them had seen him that no one
could remember just how it looked.
: When the word wentscut to come to
the council the rabbit said he would
so and make sure that the otter would
come. And to himself the rabbit said:
"I must have the most beautiful coat
OF all at the council. | will go to the
otter, and IL his coat is as fine as /
think it is, must plan way to steal
it and wear it at the council"
So the rabbit went up the creek to
where the otter lived and invited him
10 the council. AS soon as he saw the
otter, the rabbit knew that his soft
brown fur coat was the esmost beautiful
of all.
"The animals sent me to bring you
30 the council" said the rabbit to the
otter. 1T is long way from here, and
I will be glad to go with you" The
otter thanked him and they started
back to the council
They travelled all day and at night
they made a camp. The rabbit Sc
aected the camping ground. for, as he
said to the otter, you are stranger
Hiere and / know just what to do"
After he had cut some little bushes
for beds and they had finished their
supper, the rabbit took a stick and be-
gan to shave it down to the shape of a
pafiRe. The otter asked him:
The Hayti herald., 1914-06-18
What are you doing that fort"

What are you doing that for?'
"Oh," said the rabbit, Il have good
dreams when l sleep with paddle
under my head"
Then the rabbit cut a clear path
from the fire to the edge of the
stream. why are you doing that?'
asked the otter
81 will tell you" said the rabbit.
''This place is very near the Fire Sky,
and maybe 1t will rain fire tonight.
You go to sleep and 1 will sit up and
watch. If it does begin to rain fire l
will shout. Then you jump right up
UP your coat on limb over there, so
that it won't get burnt"
And so the otter hung his coat on
limb and went sound asleep After
a while the fire burned down to red
Goals; the rabbit called, but the otter
never stirred; he called again, but the
| otter was too sound asleep to hear.
F! Then the rabbit took up some hot
Goals on the paddle he had made and
time he shouted, 1T is raining fire!
Run to the water, Mr.. Otter!"
The otter woke up and saw hot
Goals falling all around him, and he
lost no time in running to the river
and jumping in. Then the rabbit took
the otter's coat, put it on and went to
the council.
At the council every one thought the
otter had a beautiful coat, but he was
very bashful, for he kept paw over
his face all the time. Finally the bear
came up and pulled the paw away and
there was the rabbit with his split lip
Before the bear could catch him the
rabbit jumped up and got away.
But the bear got piece of his tail
and so now the rabbit has only stump
of tail left; and, besides, the rabbit
had to give back the otter's coat.

Drove Shah From Berlin

eral Of the men, the delay was due
principally to electric fishes, otherwise
known as torpedo fishes, which were
attracted by the steel plates of the
vessel, and fastened themselves by
hundreds against her bottom and
sides.
The steamer was in the Gulf Stream,
north Of Cuba, when she began to slow
down. The officers were unable to ex-
plain the change in the progress of the
craft. Several sailors said they felt q
tingling sensation about their feet and
finger tips. The steamer was held
back strangely. Members of the crew
became alarmed. A sailor looked over
the side and says it was plastered with
strengthening fishes. They were two
or three thick along the port side un-
der water. The starboard side also
was covered.
AS the Rochelle moved north and
got out Of the warm waters Of the
stream the fishes dropped off and the
vessel resumed her speed.
