A Queer Superstition

the townsfolk think that whenever
there is thunderstorm. old Henry

Nine-pins in the mountains. Many OF
you have played nine-pins and know
what a noise the ball makes as It rolls
along and what q. crash Is caused
when the pins 60 tu'nbling down.
Now. picture to yourself ball and a
set of nine pins twenty times as large
a. the set you play with and you will
have a small conception Of the set
used by Hudson and his men, accord
ing to the old superstition. when they
go out to play the game that makes
the entire mountain side shake with
thunder.
Many Of you are no doubt wonder
ing who the man is who would want
to play Nine-pins on the New York
Mountains during a thunder storm
and why the superstition has arisen
in New York. Henry Hudson was the
man who first settled In New York

N all hand construction work
bench to work. upon is very neces-
sary. but many boys have the
wrong idea about the place this
bench should occupy. To accomplish
really good work does not mean that
large shop is essential. Some Of the
best work is produced in an attic. a
basement or even part of the kitchen.
After satisfying yourself that you
at least have a place to put bench.
the next thing to do Is to get the
bench. This need not be an expensive
enc with many drawers. Some boys can
even get along with common box or
saw horse. though 1t goes without
saying that better work can be done
and with greater ease. II one has a
good bench with wise attached to It.

Of grass by holding the two ends In

his two pieces to the successful child
