Although she had ap- pies at home, one of these she must have, so she thought. She climbed the fence and walked to the tree and soon had a big apple in her hands. How good it was, One was not enough. She picked two, three, four, and then did not stop.
 Soon her apron was full of apples It was not quite so easy to climb the fence with a load of rolling apples One popped out here, and aonthef there. Her hat popped over her nose and she nearly popped off the fence She reached the ground. but, alas with hole in her stockings, and hole in her gown.

 place and the boys were having taste
 of real outdoor life. The worst part or
 their tasks were the preparing or
 meals and washing the dishes. They
 took turns at this duty-"K. P." as they called it.
 Nevertheless, this was the life for them. They enjoyed all camping sports, including fishing. Besides the lake, they also had nice brook la which to try their luck at trout hshlng; But it was only for short distance. The, rest of it was posted, although they didn't know it.

Home Life in Japan.

To read about the Japanese is very interesting. :,
 The Japanese people dress just alike. The children dress like their parents. They cut their hair off. The people have yellow skin.
 They do not ride about in horse and team as we do. but in what they call jinrikishas. These are pulled by men. It has two wheels and shafts Just wide enough for man to get be- tween. These men can run very fast The people of Japan are very curi- ous. They take a bath twice a day These baths are in hot water They get into the bathtub and almost scald themselves. They say this opens the pores of the skin. The bather then washes himself in cold water.
 The people do not change the water One person goes in after another. The maid servant is the last one.
 When we go into the house the peo- pie bow down to the floor They dc not take their hats off when they go in, but take their shoes off.
 The houses are almost empty. The walls slide from one place to another and we can see right through the house. Their chief food is rice and fish. They have nice meals.
 After supper they all sit on the floor and smoke. Their neighbors come in and all sit and chat together until bedtime.
 The people of Japan are very in dustrious. They are building rail- roads and cars. They have a few au- tos, but not many. They soon vii make their country a great one Ii pays not to be lazy.

Ray coon's Bicycle.

When school closed in June, Mother Coon gave Ray Coon new bicycle. It
 was the reward for his faithful work in his classes during the spring term when some of the other boys often ran away from school to go fishing, or to play in the green woods. | No one liked the woods Or liked to go fishing better than Ray Coon him self, but he bravefy stuck to his num-
 Der work. his language book and his geography until school had closed. | Then he played in the woods to, his | hearts content, and nothing added | more to his happiness during the long summer vacation than his new bicy- cle.
 When September came. and with 1t the time for school to open again, Ray Coon couldn't bear to put aside his wheel. It was such sport to have a spin over the winding road through the forest early in the morning, from ] until it was time for school. and then to ride to school
 All went we'll at first, but before school had been open many days something happened that made a great stiE in the neighborheodE somethinI in which brother Ray Coon's bicycle played a big part. It was Monday morning of the sec ond week, and Ray Coon rode to school as usual. He was not very l sure of his number work that morn ing. The lesson was in decimal frae- tions, and he had the book open be- fore him as he sped along. That is why he failed to see the Fox boys, who were under tree beside the road. The Fox boys were idle fel- lows, and they had not yet made Up their minds whether to go to school that day or not.

 T should say he is." answered Rustic Fox.
 "We are too poor to buy a bicycle" said the two boys.
 Poor Reddy Fox! He did not un- derstand that it was not luck at all but that Ray Coon had earned his bi- cycle by faithful work in his lesson

 By Carolyn Wells. There was a modern little boy. ex- ceedingly bright and keen; His name was Thomas Edison Mar conf Tesla Green. At handy jobs about the house he really was quite clever, And one fine day he set to work with diligent endeavor. Into his fathers library he took the family cat; A portly Tabby Tortoise shell, quite elderly and fat. And by some clever tricks of his he made that pussy growl, And scratch and hiss and meow and 's-tiss-" and claw around and howl And as the cat waxed wrathier and yowled and growled and spat. That little boy a record made of sput- terings of the cat A record for phonograph. which re- produced, forsooth, The cats remarks verbatim, and set them down in truth. Whats this7" his parents murmured. when they heard the record played: That" remarked Thomas Tesla Green. 'is something I have made To put out in the pantry.

Three Boys and a Dog.

One day while I was at the sea- shore 1 found my cousin Walter and his friend Dave playing on the beach. With them was Trixey, Walters dog, seemed quite tired out. as he had been swimming in the surf and going after sticks that Dave threw into the wa ter.
 Walter was afraid to let him go 1 again, but Dave kept him going until the poor little animal was fairly trembling with cold and fatigue. AS he came dragging the sticks up the sand and laid it at Walters feet the little master hugged him and said: There, now. that's enough. You l shant go any more"
 "Oh, bother! What silly boy you are! It won't hurt him any. What are you afraid off" scolded Dave. Don't send him again. It's cruel to
 urge him when he doesn't want to go, | said Phil. another boy that now came running up.
 "oh, go on! Don't be so wise!' sneered Dave. There. Trixey, just once more! Good dog! Go on, now!'
 and he flung the stick far out into the surf. Quick as thought the little
 spaniel was plunging after it.
 Don't let him go He's too tired
 and l am afraid the surf is too strons
 for him." pleaded Walter. | ''Oh, Trixey, come back" he called
 and the faithful little creature. obe. dient to his master, turned ant | started for the shore
 He shan't come back I am goins
 to make him get that stick. Go on there!" shouted Dave. throwing {

 His aim was only too true. Tn, 1 stone hit the struggling creature ol | the head. and he disappeared unde
