He showed no mercy to spokesman
and CRATER. Therefore it was
framed" that he should be side
tracked politically by being nomi-

any such plot. But meanwhile his
national popularity. growing rapid

The other day 1 listened to a most
amusing dialogue at the Bible lesson
between Kermit and Ethel. The sub
ject was Joseph. and just before
reading it they had been reading

conduct in repeating his dream to
his brothers, whom it was certain
to irritate. had struck both OF the
children unfavorably. as conflicting
and with the advice given them by
their parents as to the proper meth
oa> of dealing with their brothers
and sisters. Kermit said: We'll, I
think that was very foolish of Jos
eph." Ethel chimed in with so do
/: very foolish and l do not under
stand how he could have done it."
Then. after u pause, Kermit added
thoughtfully by way OF explanation:
We'll. / guess he was simple. like
Jane in the GoIlywogs:" and Ethel
nodded graveIy in confirmation.
1t is very cunning to see Kermit
and Archie go to the Cove school
together. They also come down and
chop with me. Archie being armed

the children call il. "beavered'
down. a misshapen tulip tree. which
was about fifty feet high.

self open. l shall tell you that Ted
sings in the choir and is captain of
his dormitory football team. He was
awful homestick at first, but now he
has won his place in his own little
world and he is all right. In his
last letter to his mother in response
to a question about his clothes he
answered that they were in good
condition. excepting that one paiI
of pants was split up the middle and
one jacket had lost a sleeve in a
scuffie. and in another pair OF pants
he had sat down in a jam pi" at a

him greatly in spite Of the fact that
we have five remaining. Did ever
