fearfully. II just know I never can
learn
mo, you won't" replied her grand
father, "IIl go out with you anu
you'll learn just that quick!"
So the new skates were purchased
and Caroline went with her grandfatn-
er for her first skating.
Much to her amazement 1t was Just
as easy as could be. Grandfather put
the skates on her, stood her up beside
him, crossed arms and held her hands
snugly and away they went. When
Caroline felt bit tippy, he gripped
her tighter; when she slipped and
nearly fell. he righted her and she
didn't once have a tumble.
Now, of course. IL Caroline had been
on the ice very much watching othel
folks learn, she would have known
that skating along with good skater
and skating by herself were two diff
ferent matters. and she wouldn't have
been so certain sure that she knew
how to skate. But she had never seer
anybody learn and all the other:
seemed to skate just as easy SO sht
thought she had learned too.

CAROLINE'S ICE SAILING

Skating, grandma. replied Caro-
line, land my works all finished"
But can you skate. dear?" asked
Mrs. Enroll.
"'Deed I can. grandmother" re-
piled Caroline eagerly. you should see
grandpa and me fly over the ice! It's
just as easy!"
So with a warning to come home
before she got too freezing cold.
grandmother said good-by and Caro-
line hurried over to the lake.
She thought she had never seen
such beautiful sight as that frozen
lake. Her eyes. used to the flowers
and continual greenness of the South
saw all the beauties that the North
ern girls and boys were too used ia
seeing to wonder at. She stopped q
minute at the top OF the hill to ad.

join the skaters.

She sat down on log by the sid.
OF the lake. strapped the skates or
firmly as her grandfather had told her

that she didn't know how to skate on,

how to skate. but she was afrair I.

- MAKE the SLED. Inc drawings
were made from sled made by boys
who used 1t with just the tongue at
tachment and for dog or Shetland
pony. And great sport they had with
them!
In order to get good start and
have our work shape up rapidly. sup
pose we make the box first. Accord
ing to the drawing the stock for the
sides. bottom and back end is Ave-
eighths Of an inch thick. and the
piece for the dash three-quarters of
an inch thick. The dimensions are
clearly shown. SO get the various
pieces to size and fasten together.
Next get out and fasten in place the
one-quarter inch strips that TT over
the upper edge Of the box on both
sides and the back ends.
Next get out the stock for the seat
and the small cleats that are fastened
10 the inside Of the box to hold the
seat in position by means of the small
strips fastened to the seat supports.
When this much Of the work in &C.

The old North wind had pushed her
and she hadn't fallen down.
Now as everybody knows, skating Is
as easy as can be-if a person ism,
afraid. So nobody was surprised
when. at the end of the lake, Caro-
NE turned around and came back
skating. To be sure she didn't take
nice long strokes. as the experienced
folks did. and she was little wabblv
But she got back to Uncle Tom and
she didn't disgrace herself before the
crowd
The other girls tried letting the
wind blow them and found 1t great
sport. bet the boys couldn't do 1t well
at all. They didn't have enough for
the wind to blow against.

! That noon when folks went home

| ing in attics and rag bags and when
the young folks came out again IN
the afternoon. most everybody had a
sail. The lake seemed to be covered
with great birds that skinned over
the ice going one way and skated back
again with folded wings.
Were glad you came. Caroline"
said Tom after an extra good sail. "for
IL Uncle Tom hadn't seen you standing
there he might never have thought to
show us how to sail on ice"

Spread out your arms. Caroline.
he shouted. "Set your feet straight
and spread out your arms!
Caroline did as she was told though
she hadn't an idea what Uncle Tom
expected. And the children on the
ice, who. Of course. all heard Uncle
Tom call, turned to see what was hap
pening.
Much to Caroline's amazement she
felt gentle little push right in the
middle of her back. Then another

BENJAMIN Franklin
Born January II, l7os

Thomas Jefferson. who had

noyed at some Of the changes suE-
gested. and voiced his complaint to
Franklin. who told him the following
story:
when I was a journeyman printer,
one Of my companions. an apprentice
halter. having served out his time was
about to open shop for himself.
His first concern was to have hand
some signboard with proper inscrip-
ton. He composed II in these WORDS:
John Thompson. Halter. makes and
sells Hats for ready money. with a
figure OF a hat subjoined. But he
thought he would submit 1t to his
friends for their amendments. The
first he showed 1t to thought the word
Halter unnecessary because OF the
words Makes Hats which followed. and
showed he was a halter. 1t was struck
out. The next observed that the word
cause his customers would not care
who made the hats: If good and tc
their mind they would buy by whom
soever made. He struck 1t out. A
third said he thought the words. Fol
Ready Money were useless as 1t was the
custom in that part Of the country &c
sell for cash. Every one who pur'
chased expected to pay. They were
struck out and the inscription now
stood: John Thompson sells hats.
Sells hats said his next friend, VIII.
nobody will expect you to give then
away. What then is the use Of tha
word?' 1t was cut out and Hats soor
followed since there was picture Of
one painted on the board. And in the
end his inscription was reduced t
John Thompson with the figure Of q
| hat under it."
