Distance can lend no glamor, de-

To hold a natural smile for an
artist is one of the most difficult
things that a model is asked to do.
There are, therefore. very few who
are successful in this line. Perhaps
that is one of the reasons why there
are so many pensive looking young
women in drawings rather than those
of very animated expression; but one
model, Miss Helen Remley of New
York. has been christened the girl

THE Robins gave their Spring Con-

said Daddy. They give one every
year Just after most Of their Family
have arrived for the Summer. It is
one of the biggest events OF the Spring
in Fairyland and they are SO excited
about it for days ahead that they can
talk about nothing else"
Il am not surprised they had Con-
cert" said Nancy, "as I'm sure I've
heard them practicing for it on the
mornings when I've been awake very

Nick laughed hard at that, for he
didn't think Nancy ever woke up very

HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS

When Caesar took westward ride
And grabbed the Gauls of Rome,
What was the first thing that he did
To make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples loads,
And liberty forbid?
No, he dug in and built good roads
That's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
Upon the foeman's breast,
Or did he try to make them feel
That Roman rule was best?
What did he do to make them glad
He came their land amid?
He built good roads in place OF bad
That's what old Caesar did,
He built good roads from hill to hill
Good roads from vale to vale;
He ran a good roads movement
Till old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home,
Build roads their ruts to rld'
Until all roads led up to Rome
That's what old Caesar did.
If any town would make itser
The center of the map,
Where folks will come and settle dow
And live in plenty's lap;
If any town it's own abodes
OF poverty would rid,
Let it go out and build good roads
Just like old Caesar did.

FLYING OVER THE FENCE,

A fowl neve files over q fence
without touching the top, says Mirror
and Farmer. When q hen makes an
attempt to go over, her first effort
will be to alight on the top, from
which she descends to the ground. II
the top Of the fence is so constructed
that she cannot alight on it, she will
drop back into the yard. To prevent
flying over, drive nails into the top
piece, from the under side, before
placing it in position, allowing the
sharp points of the nails to project
upwards. Or if preferred, use two
strands of snarp-pointed barb wire,
having the barbs close together. the
wire simply tackled to the top strip.
