Lost Art.

A. FL. Powell tells a good story in
that interesting little volume called
"Handicrafts and Reconstruction" re-
Gently published. anent the disappear
ance Of the fine wheelwrighting Of a
generation ago. 'The difference be-
tween the old and new atmospheres
of work came out wildly. between two
wheelwrights. one old good, the other
bad modern. The last was filing in
mistake with putty, and must fall
to praising it-'A fine thing is this
putty'-to hide his shame. Says old
good why deant ye meak the hahn
thing O. putty then?' and walked
away!" It is only the genuine crafts
man who can find the real content
ment in his work. and it Is equally
only the monotony and sameness of
mechanical work that makes man
weary of it.

SQUIRRELS and Their Nests.

The gray squirrel makes a nest OF
leaves. He is more or less buSily en-
gagged in leaf construction during the
entire year, writes DR.. Edward F..
Bigelow in Boys Life. Even in the
summer he cuts off the green leaves
ord skllfully packs them among the
branches or in the fork of tree, co
that they shed the rain and roof 8
cavity big enough to shelter two or
three squirrels. Until within a few
years I supposed that these leafy
homes were for rearing the young only,
but in a small grove near my own
home I find q number of leaf nests
occupied by the squirrels at various
times. | recall wildly the
bending down of q white birch tree
that contained a leaf nest, and having
four young gray squirrels drop out
of it as the nest fell to pieces. / still
feel a keen regret for having destroyed
a squirrel home. but am glad to add
that. when I placed the young in the
nest, reconstructed on the ground to
the best of my ability. the mother
squirrel came and carried them to a
hollow tree, as d cat will carry a kit
ten. or q mouse will carry the young,
though by somewhat different
method.

some mighty pleasant people In Jail;

courteously and intelligently with you
on any topic. And in general appear
ance they will line up with the aver

dangerous. they don't look wild. Not
one in forty is confirmed criminal.
Most of them were caught off guard;

1T does. it most certainly does"

The other day Biddle was hungry"
said Daddy. There is really not much
reason, in fact there is no reason at
all why BiddIe should ever be hungry.
There would be quite number of rea-
sons why Biddle should never feel hun
CRY though, for he gets so much to
eat all the time.
Anyway, Biddle felt hungry. He
wanted something in the pantry and
the pantry door was closed.
1.-The dining room door was kind
of door he could push open but the
pantry door was one of those horrid
doors which had to be undone in some
mysterious way.
HE had often watched the family
use their hands and their fingers in
some way to turn around the knob or
the door, and when they did that, the
door opened.
But he couldn't do 1t himself, and

try it was very hard. He knew per-
fectly well that there was a saucer
in the pantry with some milk in it.
He knew, because he had left it there
himself when he had found it quite
impossible to eat anything more.
"How he did wish now that he had
taken all of his milk at luncheon time.
Now he couldn't get into the pantry.
Everyone was out, it seemed His
dear little friend Kitty was out play

called Little Boy.

at was especially sad because he
knew the milk was there in the pan
try. He knew that his dear family
would give him the milk if only they
were home to open the pantry door.
"He knew that if they were only
home he would simply have to purI
and make a few little sounds with his
throat and they would know just what
he wanted.
"He went out on the front steps anC
looked up and down the street. Nc
one was in sight. He went on tbs
back porch and saw no one in the gar
den.
"He got up on chair in the dining
room and looked out of the window.
Still he saw no one.
"This will never do said Biddle to
himself am very stupid. | will try
to open that pantry door just as the
grownups and the children open it..
"He looked at the pantry door,. Oh,
dear, it was a hard one TO open. He
looked again and still he couldn't think
of anything to do. If only he had
hands with fingers which could turn
that door handle, or whatever that
thing was which opened and closed
the door.

Of clothes which I had worn since that
rainy October night, for I remembered
that Sam Robinson, the tailor, had

He opened that
door with his two front paws, turning
the knob until it was undone and he
could push the door open.
'"Then he moved the basket away,
opened the door wide, and purring de-
lightedly to himself, he walked inside
the pantry.
"There was the milk in the saucer,
and then, as you may easily guess, Bid
die had the milk which he wanted.

he had done. And this IS another true
