LITTLE MISS JUST-A-MINUTE

1 two hours earlier than was planned | On receiving his telephone, Mamma teld each one to hasten to get ready, but Minnie, who was reading an in- teresting short story and did not real ize the change of plans, answered to their many calls 'yes-yes, will get ready in just a minute" When Papa and the automobile ar rived, he and mamma at first felt that they could not go and leave their lit- tie girl at home, but they also felt that this perhaps would cure her permanently of her bad habit so acted accordingly.
 When papa called, Are you ready Minnie?" she hastily laid down her book and hastened to dress. Just as she reached for her hat she heard the l toot-toot of the automobile, and the cries and shouts for her from her brothers and sisters, then off they went For a minute Minnie was stun ned, but as she realized that she would not be at Grandma's during the sum mer, but alone at home with only Patty, the maid, for company, she threw herself upon her bed and gave way to her sorrow in spasmodic/ grief. Mamma wrote once, such nice dear letter as only mothers know how to write, saying that she was not only to remain at home alone, but that no letters could pass Between them but that her dear curly haired little girlie would be continually in her thoughts, etc.
 That letter is one of Minnie's cher | ished possessions, for the loving words of advice at last opened her eyes to l the defect in herself It was lonely summer, but as the days passed Minnie realized that in- and waiting her own convenience she was calling: Coming! comingi" and before she had finished the last sylla- ble the second time she was on hand to know what was required of her, and she and Patty really enjoyed the last week.
 The day the family was expected, Minnie was on the Veranda hours be- fore time. and as the automobile turn ed slowly into the driveway she rushA ed down the steps and her brothers and sisters jumped from the autemo- bile.
 Such a welcome! but Minnie had eyes and speech for only mamma. and mamma understood and led her child away and as old and big as Minnie was, mamma took her in her lap with arms clasped around each others we will draw the curtain. Papa soon joined them, and when they reap peared 1t was evident they were con vinced their dear one was no longer the victim of Delay.
 The summer had been trying one to the parents, kGt in after life they were ever thankful that they were given strength to teach their child her needful lesson.
 Minnie's medicine was powerful, but 1t producted the desired results much fo the qualification and happiness of the family circle.
 All bad habits are annoying and create much anxiety to those with whom we nningle' and to those who love us: but the fixed and firm habit of delay after one has reached years of discretion often spells ones life and prevents happiness, success and pros perity.

On the morning of Minnie Dudley's fourteenth birthday her parents talk ed to he very seriously for they reai- ized as never before that their little girl was growing up.
 Although sine was dear child they were not blind to her serious fault, which they feared if not amended, would mar her life. They endeav- ored to make her realize that her habit of putting things off must be broken at once, or the habit would be blot on her character that could not be erased; and that 1t would take strong will-power to attain Tthe de- sired result.
 did not mean to be disobedient or to hinder others, or to put any one out, for she was always oodnatured and willing to do anything, but when cail- ed she, always replied in cheerful voice:
 Yes, mamma, in' just a minute"
 And even if called several times the ''in just a minute" would lengthen into five to ten. and sometimes thirty
 Trains were lost, they were late to church, lectures, etc, waiting for her.
 Her brother and sister called her Little Miss Wait-a- Minute." Punish ment did not correct the fault for the habit grew stronger and caused much trouble.
 The family at last realized that she would not out-grow it, so each one was told to call Minnie twice and then proceed without her. and she could not only wait just minute, but perhaps more minutes than she would want, for there was to be no more postponing and waiting for her.
 No one heard, Yes, in just a min ute," on the day this rule went into practice; but on the next day and on the following days her new resolutions were broken. Walks and rides in au tomobile were taken without her, and her little friends, who came to play with her, were sent home because she did not come when she was called, so she spent many lonely hours and mamma often found her usually happy child in tears.
 Minnie understood that the rule would and must be rigidly kept and that if she wished to join in the pleasure of others and to be always included in the pursuits of family or her friends she must discard the habit of waiting, just a minute" She did try, and many times succeeded in anently.
 Ever since early spring plans were made to pass the month of August at Grandma Grey's home in the country: Papa was to hire an automobile for a month and all were looking forward to a delightful time. Minnie was very watchful and for three weeks she suc- ceeded so well in learning her plays, tasks land readings, that all doubt vanished and the family felt that she would surely be on time on the day set for the Journey.
 But. alas! Papa decided to start

Perhaps the most curious workmen employed in any factory in the world are those which are a part of a force in factories where surveying 1nstru- ments are made. Here the most deli cate thread in the world is needed, and the factory keeps a force of spin ners always on hand. These spinners are a certain kind of spider. Not ev- cry spider will do. Those employed are large. fat fellows which will spin a round, tough thread.
 It is their duty to spin a delicate thread which is used for crosshairs to mark the exact center of the object lens in the surveyors telescope. Spider web is the only suitable material vet discovered for the cross hairs of sur veying instruments. Almost invisible as this fibre is to the naked eye. in the powerful lenses of the telescope 1t is brought to the size of . mans thumb, so that all defects, if there nifed to such a degree that the web would be useless.

Played flares and Hounds.

Dear Uncle> Jed: I thought I would write to you of my Boy Scout camp | ing trips at Columbia Lake, and es- pecially of our game of hare and hounds.
 At first we were the hounds and we chased the hareS on roundabout trip and after many a puzzling place we finally found them in a big open pasture firing apples at each other. Then we changed and they chased us through swamps and marshes. We came upon a big field of ferns and in the midst we saw a big, black snake. We finally came near the lake and we emptied all our papers and went down to the lake where we awaited the arrival of the hounds.
 They at last came. They had dog with them and before they came up he had to come to our hiding place.
 There was a cruel boy with us who hit him on the head with a large stick and sent him back to the hounds kind.
 Pretty soon the boys came up to within ten feet of our hiding place, but luckily they did not see us.
 We'll, after awhile they got tired of looking for us and shouted that they gave in.
 Afterwards, when we came up with them, they said they gave up because they heard the bugle call for swim ming. But this was not so.
