new set Of dishes for Gyp and Pat"
added Helen.
So the little Girls and the Dogs all
played together. The Dogs did their
tricks and the little Girls laughed and
clapped.
Then the Dogs played with balls
while the little Girls played with their
Dolls.
When it came time for the tea-party,
the little Girls sat by a small blue
painted table, and the Dogs had cush-
ions to sit on.
They had tea, which was mostly
sugar and milk, but it was good and
hot and it had very pretty tea color.
Then they had delicious bread and
butter and jam. And large bowls of
milk for the Dogs. Gyp and Pat also
had fine chop bone apiece.
1t was certainly a very jolly little
tea party, and when Dorothy had to
leave she said, at was all because our
Dogs were playing together that we
decided to have this little party, and
it has been such fun"
Eyes" said Helen. "Our Dogs know
when it's time to have a party, don't
they?"
And the Dogs wagged their tails and
barked as though to say, 1--WE know
when to have parties"

The Elusive Nickel.

Every boy knows how annoying it is
to drop something into a sidewalk
grating or between the cracks of a
sidewalk. And nearly all boys have
had such an experience at some time
or other. A simple remedy is general
ly at hand in the form of stick and a
piece of chewing gum or tar. Smear
the gum on the end of the stick and
then lower 1t into the hole or grating.
When the gum adheres to the lost ar
ticle, all that is left to do is to lift
it out. l have had several occasions
to use this idea and it has always
worked fine.-American Boy.

Paris maintains a municipal nursery
where expert care and attention are
given young trees. The forestry de-
partment Of the city government is as
well organized as the public health or
street cleaning department, and its
star Is selected carefully.
From the day It is set ont In public
square or street each tree bears dis
tinct identity OF its own and is the spe-
cial ward Of an expert gardener. Men
who tend the trees have regular routes
like lamphghters or policemen.
Every tree is numbered, and a record
Of its development and its condition is
kept-its state Of health, the dates on
which trimming or pruning Is neces-
sary and all other details.
The height Of each tree must bear a
harmonious relation TO second and third
story windows. and, more important,
its position so far as heat light and
wind exercise influences upon It, Is

k..p The Maehln. In Repair.

Think for a moment. A man who
would no more run his motorcar on
Debated tires or with sand In the gear
box than he would use sulphuric acid
for motive power will keep going right
on at his business when the tread Of
his own physical mechanism is ilatten-
ing out and the gear box of his mind
is filling with the wrong kind Of grit
The impatient optimism that shakes
of a vague oppression with the assur-
ance "I'll be all right tomorrow" has
had as much to do with lengthening
out the list Of bankTupts as any other
thing that could be named. You can't
correct a bad condition by persisting in
ths things that cause It. You will only

hseh worse that 1t will "be the death
