THRIFT TALK.

Hez Thrifty is a wise young

BE thrifty" is his wise advice,
from every pay check save a

to know how fast your little
pile can grow.

So quotes Mr.. John Burton, re-

which he wrote to his nephew, a
young plumber, telling him how to
make his business pay.

HOW LITTLE TOM
LIVED IN ARABIA

Little Tom lived in Arabia and in
those days, as now, the Arabians
travelled in caravans over the
deserts.
Toms father died when he was
six months old, when his mother
was taken when he was four years
old. He lived with his grand
mother until he reached his six
teenth birthday, and then he left
her roof and shifted for himself.
A band of Arabians decided to
travel over the largest desert in
Arabia. They started one sunny
day, and all went fine until they
had travelled half of the way. A
terrible sand storm came up, caus-
ing them to lose their way. After
wandering around for a few days
their rations gave out, and they be-
gan to die of hunger and thirst.
Little Tom became uneasy and
took the food allowed him and left
the caravan. y wandered all day
by himself and at night he found an
oasis. There was lovely cocoa
nut tree in the center of this
oasis. He climbed the tree, got
cocoanut, broke it and ate the CO.
coanut meat and drank the milk.
He stayed several days feasting
off of the cocOanuts, and even saw
ing the shells. You are no doubt
wondering why he was saving the
cocoanut shells. His little brain
was busy trying to find water. He
took the sharp pieces of shell, and
used them to dig for water. He dug
long time, but at last his efforts
were rewarded. His next task was
to find way to draw the water.
Being on the desert, he had no
rope and no 5-and-10 cent store
near to buy one, SO he took the
fiber strings off of the cocoanut
shells, braided them, and at last,
had a strong rope. You can imagine
what a task he had, as the fiber
strings on these shells are very
short. He then tied the fiber rope
to a cocoanut dipper, which he also
made, by scraping all the cocOanut
meat out of the shell, lowered it
down, drew up sparkling dipper
of water, and had his first drop OF
water since he left the caravan.
Then he took sand and cocoanut
oil and made a vessel to hold water,
selected several large cocoanuts,
and started on his way.
A day later, another caravan
picked him up and this time he con-
tinued his journey safely, and ar
rived at his destination, where he
was very successful in all his I'M
dertakings. He always used his
brains when he was little, and he
grew to be a wide-awake business
man.-Virginia Pach Barnell, age 9,
ga grade, Hibberd school.

they heard someone running inside.
Quickly they opened the door. Not
a soul was in sight, but-oh! the
of that garnet! Two OF
the trunks that Agnes had wanted
to examine that first day were
open and had been searched. A
large, beautiful doll lay on the
floor and many toys, while in one of
the trunks were many, many, more
toys. The other trunk contained
old-fashfoned clothes that would
have been in style If 'twere still the

TITS mighty funny how these
things were taken out like this, and
not soul in sight, said Agnes.
Maybe It was done before this"
said Billy. "You know this is the
first time we've been up here since
Al. just peeped in that day, when
we were showing him the house.
It's happened since then, probably.
That's been quite awhile-ages-
though"
"That might be So" Agnes re-
piled, but / was sure l heard
steps in here"
1--WE an idea,' said Al. Lets go
downstairs and stay away for about
thirty minutes and then take off
our shoes and in our stocking feet
we can tip-toe back without a
sound. BY that time whoever has
been here might come back, think
ing that we have gone, and then
we'll get him!"
"Or her." supplied Billy.
"Oh, AL Agnes said, in dis
gust, that's a fine plan, but your
voice is so loud that anyone not far
away could hear it. Someone
might have heard it and now, of
course, will not come back"
"Al!" exclaimed Billy, Don't
worry, now. No one has heard
you. Come over here. No one
has noticed this window being open
or this rope dangling from it! See,
it goes as far down as to one of the
windows In one of the servants
rooms. Quick, Agnes and Al! run
down and see if any ones there"
Agnes and AL. flew out of the
door, almost, and down to the room
below the garnet. No one was
there; the window was closed.
Soon after, Billy joined them.
Find any one?" he asked. Al.
and Agnes shook disappointed
heads.
WELL" said Billy, Hes gone by
this time"
"Do you suppose there's a secret
door in the attic?" said AL.
There might be-" said Billy.
But if there is, he didn't go in it,
for the rope and window count for
that. Let's 60 up and look any
way" And they all trotted up the
stairs again. They searched and
searched the attic, but all in vain.
Il guess we'd been so surprised
to see a few secret doors that we
expect to see them in every ROOM"
Agnes said.
You're speaking the truth"
Billy said. and they started for
home. ITO be continued.]-Julia

Very few men know.
Tell him you do. There are ex-

were few more, but high prices,
paper shortage and consultations
