And there they were. AS old Han
nibal bounded into the stable the boys
fell from his back and rolled into a
hole in the floor, and falling on the
soft dressing under the stable. they
had in some miraculous way escaped
the eyes of the Indians.
The mother took ladder and soon
reached them, but they were pinned
together by an arrow through the flesh
on their thin shoulders. The people
who lived on the prairies in those days
knew how to do all sorts of things,
and the mother soon removed the
row and dressed the wounds. Then
she knelt and thanked the One who
had watched over and saved them.
This happened many, many years ago.

their grandchildren, who think it the
best of fun to hear the story of the
broken arrow and the Indians.

BROTHERS JOIN. A PIG CLUE
Three Sons of Georgia Dairyman
Win Considerable Money With
Hogs While Attending School,.

A year ago the three sons of dairy
man living seven miles out of Macon,
Ca, did not have a cent in bank, but
had two small purebred Duroc-Jersey
pigs. Two of the boys joined the Bib
County Pig club. Today all three
boys belong to the Bibb County Pig
club, and have in one of the Macon
banks over $3.50, made while going to
school.
One of the banks in Macon offered
a deposit of one dollar and metal
savings bank to each of the Bibb
County Pig club members who would
make good. Making good consisted in
exhibiting purebred pig at the fair
and delivering to the county agent a
record OF feeds and weights, showing
how much it cost per pound to raise
it.
Out of the AZ boys who made good,

JUDGE WHO WAS ONCE A BOY
Many Lad Has Owed His Start in
Life to Kindly Encouragement
Of lnquisitive Tendency.

An eleven-year-old reporter" inter-
viewed Judge Brown of the municipal
court on the subject of boys and their
parents. The answers set down by the
aspiring journalist prove that the
Judge has not forgotten his own boy
hood. Many lad has owed his start
in life to kindly encouragement of the
inquisitive tendency. 1t is easy enough
to snub youthful questioner or put
him off with curt, unsatisfactory an
swers. Yet it has been said that the
beginning of reform is to ask ques-
tions and the start can hardly be made
too soon.
The boy is to be pitied without a
live, quick mental reaction to the slim
illus he receives from all manner of
natural phenomena. 1t is a good sign
when the child wants to know and is
not satisfied with mechanical jargon
and listless routine Most of us treas
ure to the end of our lives the memory
of one who was not too busy to reply.
Life is a standing interrogation The
man who writes with force and feeling
needs to ask intelligent questions of
the whole visible universe, and to ex-
plore the secret places of his own
spirit. He ought not to discourage
the same tendency in others, no mat
ter how young they observation-disclosures

Simple Method for Testing Eaus.

Still another egg tester has been
patented. The most recent OF the
many devices intended to show wheth-

of Frederick w. Dobbel and consists
chiefly of a specially constructed me-
tallic case to go over an ordinary
incandescent lamp.
The case is so made that the light
from the lamp is focused directly on a
small opening into which the egg to
be tested is inserted. The light rays

MAKE THE LIBRARIAN LAUGH
Odd Breaks" Made by Those Who
Call to Take Out Desired
Reading Matter.

The librarian engaged in attending
the wants of the reading public finds
good many laughs in his occupation.
A small boy recently sent by his moth

a popular novel by Baroness Orczy,
proffered a request for 'Lucifer's
Pimple," to the no small amusement
of the attendant.

visitor, referring to one of Maud
Divers successful books.
"Out," returned the attendant.
''Ah, they would be, naturally"
snapped the customer. as she went
away repeating his joke. Candles in
the wind. Out. OF course they're
out"
Another lady, walking with decid-
ed limp, inquired for THE Corn" a
book with which the attendant was
quite unfamiliar
Il thought perhaps-well, to tell you
the truth, / suffer somewhat from
corns, and though / might get a hint
or two"
You're not by any chance referring
to The Koran'?" hazarded the IL
brarian.
Well, the lady borrowed the book.
When she returned it she was still
limping; presumably she had sought
in vain for helpful hints regarding
corns.

The Arrows Flew Very Near Them.


was built for the horses, and the boys
were told they could ride old Hanni-
bal, who was big, clumsy old horse,
but very gentle They used to climb
to his back with a ladder. One boy
would grasp him by the name and the
other would put his arms around his
brother, and away they would go over
the prairies, but Indians had never
bothered them, SO their father and
mother felt it was safe for them to
ride alone
One day, after they had been there
about a year, their father had to go to
the nearest town, which was many
miles away, and could not return be-
fore the next day, but their mother
did not feel afraid, she had been there
so long without seeing the Indians.
The boys rode short distance with
their father and then turned back but
the days were so nice they did not go
directly home Old Hannibal trotted
along, enjoying it as much as the boys
did, when all at once he made a queer
whinnying noise, and the boys saw
that he trembled.
They did not know that horses could
scent Indians, but they felt that some
thing was wrong. Old Hannibal gall
Hoped toward home, the boys clinging
on as well as they could, when "whiz!

| Frank, who was behind, turned and
saw a short distance from them three
or four Indians. He did not tell John,
but told him to make ole Hannibal
go faster
"Whiz! Whit" came again, and this
time the arrows flew very near them.
Are the indians after us?" asked
John.
Yes said Frank; hang on and we
may get away" but their little hearts
were beating fast
The mother had been watching the
boys through a spyglass, and saw by
the way old Hannibal acted that some
thing was the matter. Then she saw
| the Indians. She went in and bar
ricaded the door. for the poor mother
knew the boys would not have a
chance OF escape if the horse stopped
| at the house, and her only hope was
that he would gallop on to the town,
some miles beyond but even she did
not think the boys would be alive.
Then she prayed.
Meanwhile the toys were near the
barn, and Whit" again came the ar
rows. This time they felt sharp

into the barn.
The Indians came up behind them,
looked around the barn. shook the
door of the cabin. looked in the win
dow and for some unknown reason did
not break down the door They may
have thought the place deserted. as
there was no sign of life. But where
were the boys, and why did the In
dams give up looking for them?
The mother saw from her hiding
place that the Indians were going
away and taking old Hannibal with
them. But where were the bows?
She did not dare think what had hap.
