THE CROSS OF COURTESY

MO man was more fond Of quietude than
~ old Colonel c., who lived in one Of the
shaded suburbs Of a city in Georgia, his
native State. Therefore when a man from
a rural district moved into a little house
across the street from his home and loosed
in the yard a noisy dog, the Colonel was
somewhat put out. But he was courteous
man; so he called on his new neighbor and
offered to buy the dog.
FIFTY dollahs, grinned the countryman.
1t seemed high; but the Colonel paid It,
and took the pestiferous beast to the woods
and shot it.
The next morning horse the Colonel
had not seen before stood hitched in front
Of his nearest neighbours gate. He smiled
his approval. And that afternoon when he
met the countryman he smilingly said:
did you get that boss for fifty dollars,
Sir?7
(Which boss, Sah?'
"The one | saw standing before your
gate this morning. | presumed that you
had spent the fifty dollars l gave you for
the dog for that boss, Sir
The countryman laughed. "No, Sab,
he said. "You was very foolish, Sab, to
pay fifty dollahs 70 one ole NANCY dawg.
Why, bless yo' soul, Sab, | jest closed
trade TO TO mo- dawgs 70 that fifty dol
labs, Sah!' -HapsbWg Lizzie

TENT pEGGING

MOT many people know how to drive a
~ tent peg for maximum efficiency and
stability. Most amateurs and some profess
SIGNALS always drive the peg into the ground
so that its head points away from the tent,
whereas at times it is much better TO drive
it 50 that its head points toward the tent.
Practically all artists draw the pegs in heir
pictures Of outdoor life pointing away-fOr
It must be confessed that it looks better
that way. The general rule to follow how
ever, is that when in very hard ground and
II is trouble TO drive the pegs far, the old
way is all right, but when in soft ground
the new way is much better.
The chief reason why people always drive
the peg away from the tent is TO keep the
rope from slipping of Of the peg, and OF
course with rough, homemade pegs with
out heads this method is of necessity always
pursued.
The reasons for this may be easily seen on
a casual inspection Of details When the
peg is driven away from the tent a good
leverage is procured-but a good leverage
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-08-09

is Of no Use without a good fulcrum. Now
the fulcrum is the dirt at the surface Of the
ground, and if it is hard and firm, ike clay,
everything is all right; but il it is soft or
sandy, it Immediately gives way and the
peg is loosened.
Take now the case when the peg head IS
toward the tent. There is no leverage
whatever, and consequently no fulcrum,
the only thing preventing the peg from
coming out Of the ground being the resis-
lance friction Of the ground itself on the
sides Of the peg. But suppose a particu-
lary strong gust Of wind jerks the peg up
an eighth Of an inch-it does not get looser
as it would have fixed in the other manner,
and is still in good condition.
So such a method should be pursued when
pegs are driven into sand or soft dirt, and
it is just as good as the other method in
any kind OF soil. Many soldiers think 1t
better. A. L. Hodges
