THE FOLLOWER.
BY E. d. Angel
Inventor Of Cage Ball

80 you would like to do some
somersets in the air and rows of
flip flaps" said Beppo, the clown,
to the two boys who had come
to the barn where the funny man
and famous acrobat was doing his
winter practice so that he would
be timber and skillful when the
summers circus season opened.
Simple Tricks First
"You mustn't try to learn the
hard tricks first" continued Beppo,
but must learn the simple tricks.
Upon these simple ones, all the
hard tricks are based. Now the
first trick an acrobat must learn
is the Roll-over-you kids doubtless
call it the somerset. If you learn
a Roll perfectly, you will have q
position in tumbling that must be
learned for almost all tumbling
tricks are based upon the Follower.
The Follower
"Now this is the way you do it"
said Beppo, take a quick step for
ward-bend forward and place
hands on the ground-touch the
top of your head-then shoulders
curl up as you're turning-grab
your shins tightly-pullings legs up
against chest. You see if you do it
this way, you can't help coming to
a standing position at the finish.
Now try it."

remember how long the logs were
or how big around or several other
things. How shall l make sure
that l shall remember"

friends. got leaf of black ash
and pressed it. | went back and
took Photographs of the weaver at
work. got a sample of the
splints and made a drawing of a
cross-sectiol of the log showing the
layers of growth. wove a paper
mat to illustrate the method of
weaving. wrote little story

WHY THE BEAR HAS NO TAIL

One day bear was coming along
the street, when he met fox with
a large string of fishes. The bear
said, Where did you get those fish
esq" The fox answered, Il went
down to the river, and broke hole
in the ice and stuck my tail in and
caught all these fishes" The bear
thought this was a good idea, so he
left the fox and went down to the
river and broke a hole in the ice
and stuck his tail in and left it in
for a long time, and when he
thought he had real good bite, he
tried to pull his tail out, but it was
frozen tight, and he pulled and
pulled his tail off. And that is
why the bear has no tail.-Bertha
Refs, Room I, st. Andrews School.

Ralph and Allen found that the

to the mat and after the first Roll
over was completed to do sec

or six Rolls in succession without
much difficulty. He then had one
of the boys get crosswise of the
mat on hands and knees, and with
a little run re dove over the low
obstruction thus formed-doing a
Roll that brought him snappily to
his feet. Ralph and Allen tried
this many times, but found 1t much
more difficult. Beppo told them
that by constant practice they
could dive higher and higher OBJ
stacles, and he also told them that
there were famous acrobats who
could do this diving Roll over a

HIKING
Rv Adelia Rell Reard

BY Adelia Bell Beard
There is plenty of fun in any hike
for the right kind of boy or girl,
but there is more punch in 1t when
you have an object in view-when
you start out with the idea of &C.
complishing something besides
cooking and eating your dinner.
The woods and fields offer
scores of interesting things as
OBJECTS for a HIKE, more than
you can take up in a year and all
having to do with woodcraft. You
have only to make choice. Here
are some suggestions that will set
your mind and memory to work.
YOU will be able to find others for
yourself.
Hunt for the trailing Ground
Pine, gather it, and take it home.
Try to find where the winter birds
hide. Identify trees by their win
ter buds, bark, and shape. Locate
softwood and hardwood trees. Find
the outlet of lake or pond. Gather
Pitch Pine knots to make your
home fires burn brightly. Identify
animal and bird tracks in the snow.
This list of Dont's and Dos is
another help toward the full enjoy
ment of hike.
DO be sure your feet are in good
condition before you start.
DON'T wear new, tight high
heeled, or pOinted-toed shoes.
DO let your outer coat be warm

parts as Hamlet, Romeo, Richird Ill,
Othello and Richelleu. While he was
acting these strongly contrasted char
acters. the young actor was uncon-

greatness. Now that he Is portraying

training stands him in good stead. In
