STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
HOME AGAIN
By Farmer Smith


After Billy Bumpus had gone some ways
on the road home he sat down to rest. How
he did wish he knew what was on his
medal Had that rascal Of a Woodpeckcr
put something funny on it instead of what
Billy told him?
He wondered.
As he sat there Billy heard footsteps
eehlnd him, and whom should he see when
ne turned around but very goOd-uatured
horse poking his head over the fence.
surely, friend Horse, you will read what
Is on my medal" said Billy
Get up and turn this way-uo that, so
mat ! may get the fun light on it," said
Il see; you wish me to read that medal
ior you; don't you know what it says?"
NO" snapped Billy.
Il fear to te! YOU, for YOU are very
teroclous; you must belong to the army"
Il did answered Billy.
NOW, take my advice; run along home
ana get your wife or some one you love to
read that medal; ] am afraid of my life 80
Billy did not wait any longer. lie would
70 right along home without another stop.
sure enough II was not long before he
saw the lights of Goatvil!e, and he trotted
al the faster.
BY and by he reached his home and who
should greet him but his dear. good wife.
VINO hugged him and kissed him until he
nought he was n sure-cnOugh hero.
Now, wife, see the medal I got for
,pravery,' said Billy after he had taken the
last hug
Mrs Bumpus put on her glasses pulled
Diily to the light and read slowly:
ITO
Billy Bumpus,
Ounce of the Army"
You just wait until ] get that WOOD
Pecker" said Billy.

THE LITTLE Things

There are, my dcars, SO many little
things about US which are really interesting.
and yet we overlook them. \ ride ON a
trolley car may seem tircsomc.
Let's see.
In the rear Of the car is a man taking
money all day long which does not belong
TO him.
In front is man Churnirg an ice cream
freezer which never makes ice cream.
Look at the people who get on aud off the
car-see If you can tell their occupations.
When you ride on train notice the little
thlngS-hoW some people raise windows
and freeze thoEe behind them Noticc how
the conductor sCowls when YOU give him
cash instead of your ticket
Look at the houses and wonder what the
people who live in them do TO earn a living.
Study the little things of life

Keep the Bowels Clean and Liver Act. i've Without Calomel-Take
 Van Lax.
GHnTRNl97VAIsL.

Barring accidents, there is no req son why we should not live to hun dred, by keeping the bowels clean and open and the liver active. Calomel won't do this. It sickens. Van Lax is a scientific substitute that won't sicken you, but acts gently and pleas antly on the bowels. Van Lax pre- vents sickness, eliminates intestinal poisons, relieves constipation, corrects disorders of digestive organs, increas- es poor circulation, restores strength. Hundreds of letters from users prove it's wonderful help to victims of rheu- matism, insomnia, sick and nervous headaches, stomach disorders. Van Lax is natures master tonic. Any druggist can supply you with a big bottle for soc, or send to Van Vleet Drug Co.,, Memphis, Tenn. Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes and the dis appearance of pimples and facial blem- ishes will convince you of the merits of this new health discovery. Try Van
 Lax today. Don't wait. Advt.

Prevents a Double Exposure.

A prolific source of failure in anna teur photography can be laid to not turning the film after an exposure has been made, with the result that two images are impressed on the same film surface, says the Scientific Amer ican. Even the most thoughtful per son is apt to forget to turn the film, and at times invaluable pictures are thus ruined. With view to eliminat- ing all possibility of double exposure, Clarence A. Hoyt of Tacoma, Wash, has invented an ingenious little de- vice which prevents picture from being snapped until the film has been turned. When adapted to the box type of camera catch locks with the shutter release lever after an ex- posture is made, and in order to un. lock the lever 1t is necessary first to turn the film. It is also possible to make the, device indicate whether the film surface in position has been ex- posed or not by means of window in which appears the word Exposed" or "Unexposed." as the case may be.

An Almost Invisible Animal.

In n recent contribution to the Field, Frances Pitt gives. some interesting observations on the protective color ing of the water shrew. The shrew had caught, she says, soon made itself at home in the small aquarium prepared for 1t, and swam round exam ming the ferns, stones and moss. It, was noteworthy that when swimming on the surface 1t floated quite high in the water, being only submerged to the. line where it's black and white fur met. But it seemed to prefer sub- aqueous mode of progression, and swan beneath the surface most of the time. When viewed from above 1t ap- peared as streak of silver on account of the numerous bubbles caught in it's fur. When seen from the side. through the water, the effect was quite differ- ent: the little animal was nearly in- visible. It was even more difficult to see when I cut off the side light and had only light from the top---when the conditions were those that occur in pond or stream. Then the bubbles of air entangled in it's black coat made such perfect reflectlng surface that it's surroundings were mirrored in 1t and the white stomach neutralized the shadows.

Genius Manisests Itself Early.

Biographies of the great seem to show with few exceptions that su- preme genius Is likely to manifest It. self at an early age. The born paint CT Is prone to be making sketches on every available space, as Giotte in his childhood drew pictures on slate with q little piece of stone while minding his sheep, and similar manifestations of artistic bent have been noted early in the lives of most of the painters who have added to the joy of the world by their brushes. "Wonder children" have grown into marvels in the world of music. Most of the noted writers could tell of stories and poems written in childhood; we are told that Milton wrote poems at the age of nine years. Victor HugO's intellectual ac- tivities as small boy are remark able, and one might fill good deal of space by relation of feats accom- plished by other writers in periods only short distance this side of baby hood.
