The Boy.

The following story is told in one o:
our exchanges We have many just
such boys in this town. This particu-
lar boy had slung shot and was shoot
ing some little pebbles at trees and
barns and, perhaps, even at sparrows.
The boys aim went wild and the lit
tie pebble from the slug shot speeded
wide of the mark and crashed thru u
window pane in a residence close by.
Did the householder get angry at the
boy? Was the lad arrested? Did tho
housewife chase him around the block
with broom2
No that wasn't the end OF the unfor-
tunate incident The boy saw what he
had done and could not resist the tenn
ptation to hide behind tree. The wo-
man came from the house and called
to the lad. The youngster crept slowly
toward the house, his head dropping.
Don't worry about that" said the wo-
man. Il have boy just about your size
and your age. He is a good boy. just
like you But once in a while he makes
a mistake and does little damage to
something. Don't worry ABOUT this. It
won't cost much to have 1t fixed again.
The boy thanked her and walked
away For two days he did odd chores
for his mother to save some money
He didn't tell his mother what he
wanted the money for until ne had
enough to pay for the pane of glass
and tnen he took the money TO the wo-
man and soon after told his mother
about it.
This is just little incident from
every day life. A little damage done by
a boy was passed over by good house.

DRAGGING THE SEA
 FOR GERMAN MINES
Exciting Sport Where Uniform
 Always Includes Life Belts

(Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 Paris, May 31.-Sweeping the Eng fish, Channel for mines laid by Ger man submarines is one of the most exciting and dangerous occupations of the war, according to the stories told by men participating in that work.
 Mine sweepers doubtless are tho only vessels of the navy on which life belts are worn from the time of leav- ing port until the return," writes Jacques Marsillac, from aboard . mine sweeper on service in the chan- mel.
 ."The task of a group of mine sweepers. composed of seven sloops formed in echelons, two by two, con- nected by steel cables. with the nag boat leading, is to clear a channel about half mile wide and fifty miles long of the mines laid there by Cor man submarines" he adds. These under water mine layers carry from fifteen to twenty-four mines, accord ing to the type, and they frequently lay them quite close together, so close in fact, that it has become an axiom in the mine hunting craft that where one is found another is sure to turn up.
 ''The wireless operator on the nag boat of the group. who has served on four mine sweepers that have been blown up in the service, had scarcely flashed to the boats of the group that mine had been signalled when a black mass adrift appeared on the crest of the waves ahead of our boat. a second later 1t disappeared. We steered in it's direction, every man. on deck searching intently for its re- appearance. The few minutes in which sighted mine disappears are full of infinitely disagreeable tension on board a mine sweeper.
