mouse ran into a big hole in the
wall.

and a full pipe"
Very well, said the mousse "close
your eyes. turn around three times and
then open your eyes and you will have

than the poorly furnished hut we lived
in. and have full pipe, too?"
Yes" replied the wife; I'VE should
be content now, for we shall be warm

Beauty Hints.

Careless washing and imperfect dry

slightly hands than anything else. The
slightest dampness of the skin in cold
weather will make the hands chap
and crack. Hot water should not be
used more than once a day at most
for washing the hands, and then they
should be rinsed in cold.
At night, before retiring, when the
hands have been well washed and
dried, rub in a fair quantity of a good
cold cream or camphor ice Then

CRoKINoLE IS SMLLFUL GAME
Soreness Of Fingers May Be Entirely
Overcome by Putting PropelIing
Digit Against Carom.

A great many persons do not thor
oughly enjoy the skillful game Of
crokinole for the reason that their fin
gers become sore from shooting. To
overcome this entirely put the propel-
ling bent finger gently against the
carom, or nearly so, and there will not
only be no sting to the finger in sud.
den contact with the carom. but the
direction of the shot may be far better
controlled. Let the finger nail meet
the exact center of the carom edge for
absolute accuracy.

Within the last ten years throughout
the ountry the children's court has
sprung up as a necessary and legiti-
mate part of the community's activi-
ity. Denver has developed a court in
which the Judge was striking figure;
and his personality has gained for the
court wide publicity. The Juvenile tri-
bunals of Chicago and Boston are ex-
amples of courts in which the old idea
Of punishment has given way to that
of prevention and scientific reforma-

MECHANIC cHoKEs A HAMMER
HaIf-Hearted Artisan May Be Sized Up
by Grip on Handle-5e Positive
and Earnest.

You may tell a good deal about
mechanics efforts and purposes by
the way in which he handles his tools,
You may size up a half-hearted ar
tisan by the grip on his hammer han
die. If he takes it near the extreme
end he means business and hits the
nail a substantial blow; if he grips 1t
up near the hammer head, making you
half expect the poor thing will open
it's iron jaws and gasp, why then you
may be sure of a tyro and shirker.
Little things of the kind indicate clear
ly the manner and determination with
which boy or man tackles any Job
or hobby. Go to it with a grip on
everything that means a positive and
earnest effort.
