mo, sir !' shouted Penrod v his
shoulder, as he started home on the
trot. I'm goin' back to watch a good
snake !"
He passed through the kitchen OF
his W home at the same gait, disre-
garding a request by Katie, the house
maid, for a hearing.
Mister Penrod," she began, "Td like
to know what fer you want"
"Cat furi" facetiously shouted Pen
rod, already ascending the back stairs.
"Cat fur, to make kitten britches
with !"
Next moment, a fearful howl is
/ sued from Margaret's Mrs. Scho-
field, hurrying thither from her own
apartment, encountered her son in the
passageway.
"Penrod, what's the matterT"
"Where's my shaker

"My snake !" he beloved. "T want

"Penrod, are you crazy?" she cried.
'What on earth are you"
"My snakei I left it on Margaret's
bureau and it's gonei Who's took it?
Who's been in there? Who's got my
shaker"
Mrs. Schoield began to be alarmed
in earnest, her sons ann and look
were frantic, and his words, to her, in
comprehensive.
"Penrod," she said n%ervously, "you
must take some castor oil. There
wasn't any snake in Margaret's room.
I heard her come upstairs for some
thing a minute ago, and go in there.
If there'd been a snake there she'd

AqaVe Tree of Mexico,

Chinese history records that one Hui
Shen, a Buddhist priest, a native Of
Cabul, in the year 400 returned to
King-Chow, capital of the dynasty of
Isl, bringing with him from the coun-
try of Fusang, where he had been
acting as a missionary, a number of
curious articles as gifts for the en-
peror. Among these were a material
resembling silk, with very strong
threads, and a mirror. From the de-
scriptions the former is believed to
have been fbrous material from the
agave tree of Mexico, called by the
missionary, "fusang," the name also
applied to the country, and the lat
ter is believed to have been not I'M
like mirrors used in Mexico and other
parts of the American continent.

STRAIGHT and Curly Hair.

The question of the manner of the
production of the straight and curly
varieties of the hair has long been a
matter of conjecture, and hitherto no
satisfactory explanation has been
forthcoming. 1t is only known that
straight hair is always circular in
section and is usually thicker than
curly hair, which is r~ibbonlike and
fine. Each hair is provided with a Sc
baceous gland opening into it, togeth-
er with a muscle connected with 1T.
The size of the gland varies cOnsid-
erably in different individuals and APP
pears larger and better developed in
the negro races. The muscle connect
ed with each gland has long been rec
ognized as having an influence on the
position of the hair, causing its erec-
ton by pulling forward the root of the
hair. Such action of these little mus
cles is displayed when a cat in rage
erects the hair of its tail or a straight
haired dog causes the hair of its back
to rise in a median crest. Their in
fluence in man is commonly observed
in the condition known as goose
skim"

That was why Margaret went walk
ing, q little later, instead of driving.
And vet Ethelbert had given her the
goldfish, in the first placed
A week later, this young man came
forth melancholic from an interview
with Miss Schofield. He had received
the information from her-in a gen.
eral way-there were times in a giris
life when the man who appeals to her
must be of the general type of a
senior in college; and that-generally
,peaking-if a girl feels that way, d
best thing she can do may be-in gen.
eral-to "wait" for that senior. Gen
orally speaking, she added, h be-
lieved so.
As Mr.. Bits walked glOOmily down
the street he passed a grocer's wagon
which bore the title, Jacob r. Krish
& Co." Attached to the wagon was an
elderly bay horse, and attached to the
elderly bay horse was a black tail.
And on the other side of the horse,
concealed from the view of Mr.. Bits,
stood two boys, staring morbidly at
the black tail.
Eyes, SIR said Sam Williams, "a
niger told me hat the reason mine
never turned to a snake was because
you have to keep 1t three weeks with
out ever lookin' at it. If you look at
it even once, just to see how it's get
tin along, it's spoiled. Well, we kept
lookin' at 'em-a hundred times a day,

ter with EN-! That's why they didn't
turn"
mime woulda I" insisted Penrod lat
terly. '"There wasn't anything wrong
with mine. Mine woulda turned, any
way!"
Mr.. Ethelbert Magsworth Bits did
not overhear this conversation. And If
he had, he could not have understood
it. Much less could he have traced
any connection between a hair from
he tail of Jacob r. Kirsh's elderly
horse and the fact that Ethelbert Mays
worth Bits was destined to remain I'M
willingly a bachelor.

"What time is 1t getting to be?"
Penrose suddenly inquired aloud.
There was a little clock on Mar
garet's dressing table, but 1t had
stopped. Upon an impulse, he jump
ed up and ran downstairs to the kitch-
en-. There, the. noisy old wall-clOck
treasured him soothingly. 1t marked
fifteen minutes after ten.
"Yay, Penrodl"
This was a shout from the yard, and
going to the door, Penrod beheld Sam
williams, radiant with excitement.
"Come on wei to our stable" shout
ed Sam. "Come on Come on and look
at him !"
Penrod did not stop for his hat a
jealous fear, suddenly reused, added
fear to his feet. And when they
reached Sans stable he was profound
" resolved to find Sans SNAKE" no
more advanced toward the great trans
formation than his own. He expressed
the opinion, indeed, that this was much
further along.
"Why, how could it bel" demanded
Sam resentfully. 1--WE been sittin' here

Home CbeGience.

In discussing criminals a thinker
said: Il firmly believe that the re-
spOnsibility for the majority of crimes
rests not upon the criminals themselves,
but upon the shoulders of their pa
rents! !" At first that may sound like
a very extreme statement, but upon
second, thought is it after all an exag-
geration? The speaker followed up
his first statement with a second: "a
child who is not taught the value of
obedience in the home will be less like
ly to respect the laws enacted by com
munities for the good of that larger
family-humanity."
From this point of view the obedi-
ence of little folks assumes mammoth
proportions, for they are not only chill
dren, but citizens in the making.

Horrors of the Sea.

A ship doctor on an English liner
notified the death-watch steward, an
Irishman, that a mar had died in state
room number Is. The usual instruc-
tons to bury the body were given.
Some hours later the doctor peered
into the room and found that the body
was still there.
He called the matter to the attention
to the 1rishman, who replied:
81 thought you said room number 40.

Proceeding to the top of the fronf
stairs, he heard the voice of Margaret
and Mr.. Robert Williams, Sans
brother, a senior on vacation. a
glance over the railing revealed the
collegian, beautifully attired, confront
ing Margaret, who leaned against the
newell post in a way very irritating
to a brother who wished to get out
to the stable without being stopped or
questioned. When Margaret got her
back to the newell post like that, Pen
rod knew she might stay there 'hours
and hours"

voice wholly inexplicable to Penrod, 81

Penrod retired from the hallway into
Margaret's room, and feeling satisfied
that she would not come there for a
long time, withdrew the treasure from
beneath his coat, set it upon her dress
ing table, and seated himself beside it.

encouraged by Mrs. Schofield; and ii

WORDS FROM HOME
Statements That May Be Investigated
Testimony of Emmett Citizens

When an Emmett citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of an Emmett resident. No stronger
proof of merit can be had.
F. H. Vanderhoof, retired farmer,
South Washington St., says: when
a man gets along in years his kidneys
are liable to cause trouble; at least
have been bothered with the kidney
secretions passing too frequently
sometimes. That weakness has kept
me from getting much rest at night
and then l would have, considerable
backache, too. Doan's Kidney Pills
are the best remedy l have ever tried
for kidney trouble and they have al
ways corrected the disorder and rid
me of the pains in short time"

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their smokes
Send them cigarettesl" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. "It's toasted" was the $50
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making IS million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes day.
A good part of this immense pro-
duction is making its way across the
water to cheer our boys. The Red
Cross has distributed thousands of
LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes.
