1.-THE keeper saw that Charlie felt
poorly.

felt very sad to think that Charlie was
sick. And he also knew that he had
eaten too much rich food.
But oh. anything, to feel all well
again! He was willing to be given
medicine If he could be made well.
He didn't just think of how horrid II
taste the medicine would have, but he
thought of the next day when he would
feel all well.

think that 1t was all his fault and that
he had meant to reward the patient
chimpanzee. And now he must give
him medicine.

You fine. patient animal. You teach
us all a lesson-ali Of us-for none Of
us take medicine well, children nor
even grown-ups.'
1.-THE chimpanzee swallowed the
medicine. He tried very hard not to
make face us he did so. but he took
1t all-every drop-and then he tried
, to lie quite still. For 1t was such hor-
rid tasting medicine.
"The keeper still stood by Charlie
with the empty glass and bottle in his
hand. Then he put them down and
took Charlie's head and stroked 1t
again and again.
"Charlie nudged up against the keep

all right again.

RUNNING AND BREATHING.
Why the Exertion Makes tho Lungs
GASP For More Air,

Gasp For More Air.
1t is hard to breathe after running
awhile, because your body requires
more blood In circulation. The efforts
OF your heart, brain and lungs anal Ike
breathing difficult. We breathe ~ take
air into the lungs, where the blood
which has once been through the ar
teries and comes back on its return
trip to the heart is exposed TO the air
In the lungs before going back into the
heart The air which we take into our
lungs puri1es the once used blood and
makes 1t into good blood again.
When you run the heart pumps blood
into your arteries faster to enable you
to run, we are told by the Book of
Wonders. Thus also the arteries send
much more blood back to the heart
through the veins, and this must be
purified by the lungs before going back
into the heart To attend to purify
Ing this extra amount OF spoiled blood
the lungs need more air, and thus you
are made to breathe In more air for
the purpose.
Unless you are In good training

say-it Is almost impossible for you to
supply the lungs with enough air for
the purpose, but whether you can do

before in front of the attorney general
and the states attorney.
Mrs. Mccormack, employed before her
marriage at the Felches' housemsid, said
she didn't notice any illness on the part
of the accused on the Saturday night of
the murder, although she had seen her
sick on other occasions, and testified that
the woman ate a hearty supper. Contin
uing, she denied the assertion Of the se-
cused that she (Mrs. Felehl gave illness
as her reason when she called the girl
into her room around IL o'clock on that
night. The witness further said that the
night of the murder was the only time
the accused had ever asked her to un-
dress in her room and the only night
she had ever asked her TO sleep with
her, although Felch was away frequently
at the sugarhouse in the night time. She
went on TO quote Feleh as saying that
night when he left home that he was
going over just for little while, as he
didn't have much sap to boil.
Turning to the Friday afternoon previ-
Gus, witness said that she and Mrs. Felch,
Bernice and Otis Williams were in the
house when they saw the new minister
from Waits River approaching. They
hurried upstairs, all of them, and ig
nored his rap at the door. Witness then
testified to seeing the accused and viii
liams together upstairs and said she
thought the latter had an arm around
the woman.

titled that in the presence of the counsel

That industrial development must

are inadequate needs no emphasis, and
when it is borne in mind that there is
not n road worthy of the name, so much
as 100 miles long throughout China, it
becomes evident that the country is

there are the rivers and canals, which

GREATEST OF ALL SUNS.
Giant Campus, the Blue Beauty of the
Southern Hemisphere.

Star gazers of northern lands often
overlook the fact that some Of the
most brilliant and beautiful stars and
finest nebulae and star clusters in the
heavens belong to the southern hem
isphere and are not visible In our lati-
tudes.
Magnificent blue Campus, the second
brightest star in the heavens, lies just
below our southern horizon in the
large and important southern consteIla-
tion Argo Navis, named for the famous
ship of the Argonauts. II Is usually
divided into three constellations-Pup-
pis, Carfna and yela. Campus was
the chief pilot of the Argonauts. but
the star was known and worehfped

II received it's name from the Greeks
and has been called the Star Of Egypt
1t has also been a guide to many tribes

Although Sirius appears nearly twice
as brilliant as Campus, this is due
only to the fact that Sirius is compare

years distant. While Canopus has been
estimated to be at q distance of 400
light years. It IL, - Ter as we know,
