To Make Joints Leakproof.

In making a joint leakproof it is not
only wise to use a suitable gasket. but
also to place felt washers underneath
the iron washers of the retaining bolts
This gives an elastic hold that will allow
for expansion and contraction, and may
keep the threads OF an overtight bolt
from stripping. The common corn and

told you about Farmer Browns Boy

"Chug-a-rum! Why should I be-

very gruffly. Didn't he come around

that you had gone away for good, and
then didn't W. hear your voice that

There Is an old saying to the effect

Then the whole story came outflow
Browns Boy take up the traps he had
set about the homo of Old Man Coy

his own dooryard: how he had then
hurried back to tell Old Man Coyote
the traps had been thrown in q cor
ncr as If never to be used again; how
when he reached Old Man Coyotes
cetved no answer, and then how he
came each day until he was sure that
Old Man Coyote had deserted his
home: how then he had looked every
place he could think of md had fn-
ally made up his mind that Old Man
Coyote had been frightened away and
had left the Green Meadows and the
he had hurried to tell the news.
Old Man Coyote grinned az he list
ened. 1T Is all true except my going
away" said he. II had moved. and
was busy getting my new house ready
to live In. that's all. It is all true
about the traps"
"Then what did you move fort"
demanded Billy Mink suspiciously.
Because too many knew where ]
lived" replied Old Man Coyote.
Where do o live now?". Sammy
Jay Interrupted eagerly.
That's telling" replied Old Man
Coyote. IT don't want to move again,
80 I think I'll keep that a secret. Now
I hope you will overlook Sammy jays

"Chug-a-rum!" said Grandfather
Frog. I'm willing to. for one. II
Sammy Jay will promise to mend his

Sammy cry humbly promised, and
once more began to hold up his head.
In the strange way that such things

Sammy found that his old neighbors
were willing to treat him just as they
