Can Jocko Driue D..
Team OF Horses?

Can a monkey drive a team Of
horses?
The reason we happened to think
Of this Is that we saw a queer pic
ture the other day. queer very
queer. the picture was, but 1t made
us think about something. This
is what the picture looked like.
There was big farm wagon, and
two fine. big horses were hitched
to it. Now Of course there was
not anything bit unusual about
that. But this is what was unusual.
There was a happy faced monkey.
who seemed to be in high glee,
driving, or trying to drive the
horses. They were going very. very
fast. and they were just starting
over very steep embankment, or
hill. That was about all the picture
but that was all that was needed
Can you imagine what happened to
the wagon. the next second? OF
course it was a heap of broken
boards. The horses were probably
killed right away. and the monkey.
well. the monkey probably ran of
to his home. having no idea in his
monkey head Of all the ruin he had
caused.
Why should he have? He was
monkey and should never have
been allowed to get up on the dri-
ver's seat. What did he. Jocko.
knew about driving? He was what
he was supposed to be-a monkey.
just that.
But there Is the rest Of what was
in the picture. One of the horses
was named Brain" and the other
was named Drawn" and the mon
key was named Waste" And this
is what the picture was supposed
to say to whoever looked at 1t:
IF you have strength (for that
is what Drawn means) and brains.
to draw you, you can get some
where in the world. providing you
choose q good driver, one who
knows how to drive well. one who
will not let you kill yourself by
falling over a steep embankment.
To waste anything. whether 1t Is a
penny or a piece of bread is foolish.

Of his salary. and wastes paper. or
food or whatever he works with. IL
worse than foolish. and It will not
be very long before this man falls
over the embankment, ruined"
Have you Juniors, who are max
ing some money for yourselves. or
even you Juniors whose parents
give you an allowance, hitched this
little monkey named Waste" to
your ambition. II you have. put

"A True Bird Story
BY Olive 7hpsuo 1elasee

Tho young bird has to lsarn how
to do things inst - anal boys and
girls do although not IN exactly
the sxme way.
One Of the first lessons he learns
is how to fly. He reszly knows
how TO do this but needs practice
untl Ids wings grow strong enough
to Gritty him through The ali. Many
young birds begin this pE.ctice be-
fure they lexve the mast have
often seen a ne3klfng beating and
beating his wings without stirring
m inch from his tiny homa.
You have heard. perhaps, that
father and mother birds puRh their
babies out Of the nest Do not be.
heve any such thing. because 1t is
not true. I have seen many young
birds leave the nest Of their own
accord. but never one pushed out.
Sometimes the mother my coax
her children. but often they fly
while the parents are away finding
food.
After the young bird leaves the
nest hts father and mother follow
and feed him. for he does not yet
know how to feed himself. This
is the next lesson he has to learn.
He must also know where to sleep.
and how to protect himself from
all the other creatures that want
to catch him and eat him. Then.
he must be able to sing. and, no
doubt, there are many other les
sons for him to learn that we do
not know about.
Once had a good chance to
watch two young blue jays learn
to get their own living. After they
left the nest. they lived in a little
grove, where l could easily find
them when I went to watch. They
seemed to be always hungry. and
every few minutes one Of the par
ents would hurry up with grass
hopper or some other insect to
stuff into the wide-open mouths.
They were fed choke-berries. too.
These little wild cherries grew on
big tree in the grove.
One day after giving the twins
chokeberries, the parents slipped
quietly out of sight. and stayed
away a long time. I could see
them perching near but the young
birds could not. The father and
mother were not hunting food as
usual, but seemed to be taking a
rest l wondered at this. for had
never seen them resting since the
little ones were Matched.
The twins, who were quite as
large as their parents now, did not |
try to pull any of the fruit from the |
trees, although 1t grew all about, l
and they had often seen 1t done. |
They sat idly picking at their toes.
their beautiful wings. or
hopping from branch to branch.
Soon 1t was evident that they |
were hungry. for they began to
call. Nothing happened. They |
called again. Still no food. This
must have been great surprise.
for. usually. their cries brought a
parent with food at once. Hun

1t had a little hole just where the
ache was, and to add to all the rest
1t was loose. If he bit an apple 1t
hurt him. If he drank cup of cold
water it hurt him, and even when
he tried to nibble bit of candy it
would begin to ache again. l
think nibbling candy was what
made all the trouble. but any way
1t was a very bad tooth, and Uncle
Bob said it ought to be pulled.
ooh, but that will nurt!" cried
Harry. drawing back.
Pooh! Not q pinch" said
Uncle Bob. 1.-THE tooth is loose
and it will be out so quick that you
won't know it."
mo, sir! know it will hurt" in
sisted Harry. saw Bill Dayton
have his pulled at the dentists
and he yelled. l tell you!"
"Dut that was double tooth,
Harry" said sister Mary, and it
wasn't loose, either"
well, mine is twice as big as
his was and it isn't loose but a
little bit"
Come said Uncle Bob, 'I'll give
you ten cents if you will let me pull
it."
"Tcn cents! That is the price of
redand-white ball down at At
kins' store" said Harry.
LET me put string around it
and jerk it right out"
Harry then thought of the ball,
and then of Bill Dayton's cry, and
then he stopped and said:
"Will you give me ten cents if
pull it myself?"
eyes. but it will hurt you more"
And if | let you tie the string
around 1t. Uncle Bob. will you
promise. honest and forever, not to
pull it,"
Eyes. l will promise" said Uncle
Bob.
Then you may tie it on" said
Harry.
And he came and stood at his
uncle's side.
While the fastening was being
made good and strong. SO that it
would not slip, Mama entered the
room.
ooh, my brave little boy is going
to have his tooth pulled out-that's
nice" said she.
"T'm going to pull it myself" said
Harry. land Uncle is going to give
me ten cents"
Mama laughed. and said: when
l have a tooth pulled. have to pay
for having it done. but you are go
ing to get paid, are you?"
So, when the tooth was tied. they
all left the room but Harry and his
sister. II know" said Mary. how
to pull it. Come with me-"
They went out in the orchard
and got a smooth. red apple and
tied it to the other end of the
string; then Harry was to throw
the apple; then the tooth would
come out.
Then Harry began to think how it
would hurt, so he would not have it
pulled. Mary got mad and went to
the house, and Harry lay down and
went to sleep. Along came the
old cow. She saw the apple, and
ate it; and. of course. when she
pulled at the apple it pulled the
tooth.
Harry didn't wake up till Mary
came down and said. Harry, din
ner is ready-Why, you have
pulled your TOOTH"
Pulled my tooth moi"
yes, you did-it is gone. You
forgotten about it because you
must have pulled it, and you have
have been asleep. Oh, Harry. you
are brave, after all"
81 certainly didn't pull it, Mary.
/ bet Uncle Bob did. Let's go and
see"
The children ran to the house
and Harry told his wonderful story
and called upon his uncle to con-
feSs.
"You know you must have pulled
it. but you owe me my ten cents"
Uncle Bob handed him dime.
But | honestly didn't pull it,
Harry"

Every Boy Has a Chance

1t is easy enough for any young in Richmond to
have home ready for him when he gets ready occupy it.
He can do it withoutdeprivng himself at any time
by denying himself the eathfu recreation that most normal
minded young seek.
He cannot do this and cultivate unnecessarily expensive
habits but he have his home ready and reach the
when he seeks companionship of wife without missing
single shot in the fun contest
He has only to decide that out of his earnings he is going
to put certain amount each week into lot.
If he is looking to the future he must look seriously
he will not be foolish to want try to buy in the
downtown district
He will stop and think the present inside the
outside Of ten years and the far away in the days
of his fathers best efforts
He will go out. He will establish credit with
good real estate agency who will give him his chance
He will plant each month five ten dollars in the lot
that is to eventually be his home nest and by the time h
reaches the marriage three things will have happened
First-the lot will have been paid for.
Second-he lot will have greatly enhanced in value
Thrd-he will have established such good for
foresghedness that he easily obtain with which
to build his home.
The thing he must do is to buy wisely to buy suit
ably sized lot, to buy in the direction of other buyers
Ie remember he build an economical home on
valuable ground Int he cannot build valuable home on
cleap ground ground not growing in value
The ot viii represent only about 20 per of the pro-
ducng cost Of the home Init the location of that lot
decides about 50 per cent Of the finished value.

Rivalry Of Streets
Is Certain to Result
From Grace St. Moves

1t has not broken out vet. but
there Is brewing a spirit of rivalry
among business interests that are dis
posed to look to Grace street as be-
ing future high class retail
thoroughfare, and those who would
hold to the opinion that never will
any number OF the better class of
stores be driven from or persuaded to
leave Broad. The former advocates
point to many instances in cities over
the country where the growth of
business compelled the development
of new thorofares, and the latter say
that Broad street for a generation or
two will continue to dominate the re-
tail business. An instance of this
firm belief Is found in recent pur-
chases made by strong firms on both
of these streets, old Broad street
merchants getting a stronger hold on
property. other old firms acquiring
interests on Grace where they believe
they will eventually move.
