MAKE A PEA-sHooTING GUN.
Barrel May Be Made of Either Section of Bamboo Fishing Pole or Piece
 of Sweet Alder. 1 H

The pea gun consists of only two parts. The barrel may be either a piece of bamboo fishing pole or sec ton of sweet alder. The spring is a piece of corset steel, such as can be usually found about the home.
 Sweet alder can be found in the summer growing along the fences in the country almost anywhere. Find a stalk, about one inch in diameter, which is good and straight, and cut it off to a length of six or seven inches. Make ramrod of wood and use it to punch out the pith of the alder, rem dering the bore as smooth as possible. An old bamboo pole of like dimensions may be be used instead. says Popular Mechanics. s' ,.s..t .-sE-s !.

SMALL WARS MEAN BIG POEMS
Greatest Battle Hymns Have Noi Been Inspired by Titanic Strug-
 gIes Like the Present One.


 The greatest poems have been writ ten about little wars. The Iliad wal written around siege carried on by a handful of barbarian chieftains against city of the second class. The battle of Chevy Chase was border skirmish following upon a cattle-steal ing expedition. And Kipling's imperia muse is at her best when she sings of petty wars with colored tribesmen Britain's far-flung battle line was fal flung against Dervishers and Afrids; it was seldom brought into collision with field intrenchments and siege ar tillery. Little war, or else big wars in anticipation of retrospect, these art the rich soil for the poet.
 z A great war in the actual, the fate of an empire truly at stake, may make poets out of the common crowd, bui
 ubdues the poet to the level of the common crowd. There is solemn tont :. bout Kipling's latest verse which hal it's effect. Only it Is not exhortatior ve wanted, but exu1tation; not an ap peal, but clarion call. When an en tire nation is at1ame the poet is apt te

PICKED OUT THE RIGHT TIME
Girl Made Victim of Hoax by Mis- 2 chievous Friends Went Home
 In Fury.

E One day several of my girl friends called to see me. We started to make some candy when I discovered that we didn't have any chocolate in the house and said that couldn't possibly make it without "a speck of choco- late" ",
 Mary, one of the girls, said: Why, what kind of chocolate is that couldn't you use any other kind?"
 One aof the girls gave me a pinch and said: sOh. no, couldn't use any other kind It's a new kind. You telephone the grocery and order some, Mary. and we'll start the candy. Now be sure and order tAspecka.'," "So we filed to the kitchen and left Mary to telephone. We sat in the . kitchen holding our sides with sup pressed laughter while she called up one store after another trying to get tAspecka chocolate" She finally gave up in despair and then we told her. Needless to say, she went home in a fury, as mad as a wet hen. She bare ly spoke to us for weeks after that Chicago Tribune.

 Long time ago, in the late afternoon, when the boys and girls of the Indian people got tired of playing they would sometimes go out where a big tree. spread it's branches and hold coun- ell.
 For time they would carry on the council just like old people,. all sit ting quiet round the place of the fire and only one boy or one girl getting up to speak at one time. But after they had been sitting on the ground until they began to get tired, three or four would rise at the same time and all of them would want to speak. And very soon there would be such shout ing that one of the old men would come and say that he would have to make himself chief of the council. :
 But instead of sitting as head of the play-council the old man would soon be telling this story of how the ami mals once lost their power to talk with each other and with man:
 Before that time all of the animals and all of the people on the earth lived happily together. Everywhere they went they could talk with each other.
 Then the bears and the buffaloes and the wolves began to think that they were better. than the other animals be cause they were stronger and swifter than the rest, and when the animals met in council to talk over where they should go for the winter or what kind of food they should gather during the summer these big fellows would all ways rise up together first and say that they must he heard. - -l''''
 "Who has better right than I to talk?" the big bear would ask. If any body thinks he has, let him come and wrestle with mel"
 Then the buffalo would get up and say:
 If you do not listen to what I have to say will shake down the walls of the council house." And he was so big

and strong that the animals knew that he could do as he said. Then the wolf would get, up and say in an angry voice: s.,s,
 "H. anybody: tries. to, stop me from talking 1T will slit his throat with my teeth!"'3
 And so it got to such state that no one in.8all the council could speak. There was quarreling all the time. : One day the quail, who was the mes senger from the thunder gods to the animals&a and the people, thought that he would fly of through the suns door in the west and ask the great beaver who had gone to live in the land of the. thunder gods, what should be done.s-s, -r E For. a long time the great beaver smoked and studied about what the quail had said; and then he got up. put his pipe in his pocket and said that, be, would go back with the quail. When he came to where the animals Mere,fsittfng the great beaver, told them, to go home and come back in ten dayscs So they went home and in ten days when they returned they. found that the great beaver had builtia won derful new council house: Tss
 But the great beaveridfd not ask all the animals into the new council house at once. First the bears all went in, and when they came out the buffalos followed. and then the wolves. and after that the other animals in turn.
 Nobody could tell what the great beaver. had said to.'them in his new council house, for whenever any ami nal of one kind tried to,talk to an. anil maj of another kind he found that he could not make the other one under. stand. .-,..t ,:, i1sa..ss.

When painting, no matter how care ful you are, your hands generally be- come spotted with paint. To attempt to wipe these spots off only results in your hands being smeared.
 The best way to remove the spots is to rub them we'll with turpentine. After so doing wash the hands in soap and hot water, scrub with a small brush, and finally rinse in cold water. After such treatment the hands will be quite clean and fresh.
