farmer who evidently owned the
place. knew everybody, and bossed
that whole quarter of the globe.
When it was time to begin to
dance, this proprietor would strike
up some lively tune and play a
while, calling out to the different
people to come up and start dane
ing; but when they would be a lit
tie slow in starting, he would call
out all kinds of taunts, and then
go out among the crowd and al
most pull them on the floor, until
he had enough to satisfy him. Then
after playing while longer, he
would stop and 80 all around col
lecting nickels before finishing the
dance.
But the way they all danced was
enough to make you feel in a good
humor for weeks. In the first
place they danced the old square
dances called quadrilles, and Ian
ciers, when eight would be togeth-
err, and old farmers with white
chin whiskers. you know, would
step around like cake-walk with
their coat tails bobbing up and
down as they swung their partners
and went through the whole move
ments While all the time this
"IcObade Crane" of the piano
would be shouting out directions in
the most sing-song tune. and al
ways end the dance with some
thing like, "Put-chur-pard-ner-at
chur-side-anall-join -hands-around."
And. folks. do you know as I
came away from that quaint gath
ering, l thought that the thing we
like people for is just being them
selves. Those people weren't up
to date at all. but If one single
thing had been changed 1t would
have spoiled the whole affair. For
after all. it was their own little.
characteristics that made up those
interesting people; we love to think
of them, for what they honestly
are, not for what style and fashion
could make them. Do you know
any folks that you were sort Of
ashamed of for being just little
different? Well, just think of
those picturesque country folks at
their dance, and then be glad to
have them exactly as they are,
won't you!-Aunt Molly.

country was SO pretty. The train

glad to crawl into a nice soft bed.
The next day we started to 60.
yes, that was all we did. don't
think l was still scarcely min

the country.
One place was on big farm.
They had a little girl and we GER
tainly had fine time. The people
MIXED eleven cows every morning
and evening. We children hunted
the eggs every evening. One night
we brought in 81. They had some
pigs. cows, horses. and chickens
and a little pet dog. We also en-
joyed many fine rides in an auto
mobile.
One of my uncles raised ponies.
They were SO sweet. l fed them
every day. At another place where
we visited there was the dearest
little baby pig. It's mother did not
want it so the people had to raise
it themselves, They fed it milk.
It was cleaner than most little pigs
and you could even pick it up and
it wouldn't even squeal. I played
with it all day and had fine time.
One of my cousins raised rabbits
and when first went he had some
real tiny ones about three days old.
They were so ugly. But before
left they had grown so large.
The day we started home we
went to the daisy field early before
breakfast and got a lot Of daisies
and then went out in the country
and had a reunion. We had fine
time.
We came from Marion ON down
to Winchester and visited my aunt
and uncle there.

A COUNTRY DANCE

Dear Junior Folks: Have you ever
been to a country dance? A regu-
lar, old-fashioned one? Well, the
only one. ever have seen was so
picturesque, that it seemed taken
out of a book.
1t was a glorious Saturday night
in July, when the moon was just
rising over the misty trees. and
the fire-flies were lazily floating
back and forth along the dim grey
road-sides, that the folks began to
come from miles around, some
walking. and others riding in shiny
black buggies or even on hay wag-
ons; old folks and young folks.
and all ready for a good time.
The dance floor was simply a
little platform in the corner of a
wheat field. and the music was
furnished on an old fashioned. tink-
ling square piano, and a violin.
But the musicians who played
them were characters. The violin
list was little old man who sat in
a corner on a high stool, and kept

We'll, I don't 'zactly wants to

Hasn't he dragged you the
length Of the room by your hair ?"
demanded her mistress.
"Yes'm he has done dat"
Hasn't he choked you into In

"Yas'm he sho' has choked me" "
''And now doesn't he threaten to

agreed Jennie. "but he amt done

CAMP DISH WASHING

Here are q few pointers for wash.
ing dishes at camp suppers. as are
given in the BOY SCOUT DIARY.
First till the frying pan with wa
ter. place over the fire. and let It
foil. Pour out the water. and you
will find the pan has practically
cleaned itself. Clean the griddle
with sand and water. Greasey
knives and forks can be cleaned By
iabbing them into the ground. Aft
er all grease is gotten rid of. wash
in hot water. and dry. with cloth.
Don't use the cloth first and get
It all greasy.

"You come right down here, take

so you see. gentle reader, l could
not do a thing but 60 down among

Any way that burglar was making
lot of noise because those tin
silverware Of ours was a rafting
something fearful.
Well as it was l took my revolver
and started down those stairs.
Every step on those stairs squeek-

his mother descending right after
him-blocklng his retreat.
This was terrible-why I'd have
rather washed dishes than do this.
When l reached the bottom OF
those stairs l staggered like q
preacher on election night only
was full of fear.
So 1t was with me.
l stumbled over q chair and lost
five Sundays of good religion. Still
the noise kept up.
Nam snuck in the dining room

Certain old statutes, unrepealed,

call one while the senate works un-
