EVENING
e2EAIR TALE s,

FAIRY AND KANGAROO.

must tell you story tonight"
commenced daddy, "of the sick kan
CARGO in the zoo.
TO tell the truth the kangaroo
wasn't sick at all. He simply thought
ne was but he succeeded in making
the keeper think so to. This pleased
the kangaroo as all he really wanted
was to have fuss made over him.
The strange thing about his ILL
ness was that the keeper couldn't
imagine what was the matter with the
kangaroo. He had a perfectly good
appetite for he couldn't give up eat
ing just to pretend he was sick, for
really and truly he knew he was just
pretending
Now, this puzzled the keeper, but
he thought there must be some kan
CARGO sickness where the animal
could still eat, and yet be far from
WELL
The keeper became so worried over
the kangaroos strange sickness that
at night he would get up to see if the
kangaroo was asleep. Every time he
went to look, the kangaroo was sound,
sound asleep, breathing very quietly.
The keeper thought to himself that
this must be a good sign, for if he
happened to be suffering from indi-
gestion he would certainly be moan
ing and having bad dreams Finally
the keeper decided the kangaroo must
have heart failure.
"The next day the keeper sent for
the doctor and the doctor examined
the kangaroo's heart He said that it
was one of the strongest hearts that
he had ever examined. And the keep
er was still more puzzled.
"The kangaroo used to sit for hours
and hours just playing with his tail
Sometimes he would think it was time
to show how badly he felt by crying.
So he would first look as if he was
just being able to keep back the tears,
and then he would act as if he could
keep it up no longer and would shake
with sobs
Now this kangaroo had always
been spoilt by his mother. When he
was very, very young he could always
have everything he wanted, so moth
ing was ever really big treat.
HE always got sick at parties be-
cause he ate too much, and his moth
er would never stop him, and on holt
days he always was allowed to turn
things topsy-turvy.
But during this pretended sickness
of the kangaroo his family were the
only ones not worried about him. The
keeper couldn't imagine whether it

the cover board in place to enclose

cut several strips about an inch and
one.half wide, and nail them around
the top edges as a finishing band.

then the inside lining. Lap the Gre
tonne over the top edge, and cut it so
that about an inch will turn down all
around Then conceal the edge of the
cretonne by tapping the lining over it.
The lining may be of plain colored
cambria.

is made of box Of the right height to
slide underneath bed, and pair of
handles are screwed to each of the
two long sides, so it may be pulled
out from either side of the bed.

was because they had grown tired OF
his meanings, or whether the kanga-
roo was only pretending to be sick.
For such queer actions he had never
seen before, as most animals he had
seen were so brave when they were
sick, and never made fuss when
they were not sick at all.
"The kangaroo was just spoilt
though-there were no two ways
about it-but one day when the ami
mails were all to be given a special
treat, little Fairy Silver Wings, who
had heard of the kangaroo's sickness,
whispered to the other animals to
leave him behind to twist his tail and
moan while they had their game OF
ball.
"Then the kangaroo set up howl
ing such as never had been heard in
animal land, for he didn't want to
miss a party-just as Fairy Silver
Wings had said, so when they all
thought he had learned good lesson
they went back for him. How
ashamed he was when the animals at
first snubbed him, but he never made
fuss again, for he had had a great
fright that he was going to miss a
party through his foolishness.

RECIPE FOR PICTURE PASTE
Formula Given for Making Mixture
That Is Inexpensive and Will
Keep Indefinitely.

What child does not like to cut out
pictures and paste them? Here is an
inexpensive paste that will keep in
definitely. If it gets too thick add
some cold water and cook and stir
until it is smooth. One cupful -four,
one teaspoonful powdered alum, one
half cupful cold water, two cupfuls
boiling water, two tablespoonfuls lime
water. A few drops of oil of cloves or
wintergreen. Mix the alum, flour and
cold water, and beat until perfectly
smooth: add the boiling water slowly,
stirring all the time. Place on the
stove and stir until it boils, then put
in double cooker and cook about thirty
minutes, stirring often. Keep in COW
cred jars or cans.-Rural New Yorker.
