tiny engine into third speed and
leaned against the soft cushions OF
the Teenie Vicente truck.

answered the Doctor, who sat on
the drivers seat with the Turk.

"Well. I'm going to see If we
can't break a record today" said
the Turk. We've got fine road
and the machines are in good
shape
There are always things which
bob up at the most unexpected
times and spoil perfectly good
chances for automobile records, and
one of these struck the Teenie
Weenies, or rather they struck it.
The little trucks had been rolling
along for about an hour when the
Turk saw a young chicken ahead,
near the side OF the road. The little
fellow blew his horn and pulled over
to the opposite side, and jus: as he
was about to pass the chicken 1t
gave great jump and landed right
in front OF the speeding truck.
The Turk threw on his brake, but
the truck was travelling too fast to
be brought to stop quick enough

Attacked by Balloons

Baboons are becoming great
menace to live stock and even to
humans in the district known as
Vergelegen in South Africa. Troops
of as many as 800 baboons are re-
ported as having been seen. A
heavy drouth has driven them out
of the hills and into the cultivated
districts. In one of these raids a
pack of baboon dogs were turned
loose and drove the baboons back
into the mountains. A big male, ac-
cording to Hamley's Menagerie
Magazine, remained at the rear OF
the troop and acted as defender of
the weaker ones. AS the best dog
in the pack attacked him the baboon
leaped aside, gripping the dog around
its middle and hurled it over a cliff
some so feet below.

Private lacks First Flight.

Private Jack was one of the first
to get over there. His company had
seen hard fighting. Jacks one am
bition in life had been to go up IN
an airplane. Jack went to bed one
night early for he was to have his
first flight in the morning. They
we're out on big field next morn
ing at 7 o'clock and were climbing
into the airplane. They ran long
ways on level than. swooped up IN
the air. There were several other
planes up. They were sailing
ieisurelv along when bump they al
most ran into another plane. They
lodged and swooped down to avoid
hitting two or three other planes. In
doing so they went into some tall
trees and put the left wing out OF
order. So they had to land. They
found they could soon fix it and in
half an hour had joined the other
planes. They stayed up until it was
getting late, and then tried to land,
but found they did not know how.
They couldn't find place large
enough. So they went up again.
Then they flew little farther. Then
down again. They went up and
down for three times, then Jack de-
termined to light. He shut off all the
power and just let the plane drop.
Down. down, down and they hit the
ground with the nose of the plane:
When lack woke up again he found
himself in a hospital. He found his
head ached badly, and was not able
to take another fight for good

Little Rich Roberta.

There was a little girl by the
name OF Roberta. Her father and
mother were very wealthy, She
Dragged about their land, stock and
money. After a while they lost all
they had and they had to live in
an old house. She did not have
friends because when they were rich
she did not care about anybody but
herself, aud OF course they all
thought about it when they were
made poor She would go to school
sad and leave school sad. One day
she went to school and told the
children that she was so sorry be-
cause she acted so mean to them.
They said they would forgive her.
All of the children played with her
and had nice time. She went home
from school happy and she told her
folks all that had happened at school
that day. After that Roberta was
invited to most all the children's
parties and always had nice time,
She had more company after that,

The Troubles of the Sandman.

II don't want to go to bed and
| won't" screamed Ted, and he
kicked and scratched and bit his
mother until she was forced to leave
him alone. So II o'clock found Ted
cuddled up In the big leather arm
chair before the fireplace very wide
awake.
Now, Ted should have been
sleepy, but he wasn't, and not bit
frightened. And the reason for that
was:
The elves OF Mother Goose Land
had decided to play trick on the
Sandman, so they stole his Magic
Cloak that made him invisible. Now
YOU know the Sandman couldn't
come down to the earth without his
cloak, because it just wouldn't do
for the children to see him.
Finally Mother Goose suggested
that he borrow the Witch's Broom
Stick, as it would not only take him
to Earth, but make him invisible
also. This he did and soon he and
the Black Cat, who always accom-
panied the Broom, were ready to
start.
The Sandman, however, did not
know how to control the Broom
and his descent was so rapid that he
was almost frantic with fear while
the Cat fastened its claws in
his back and clung there. This an
noyed the Sandman and he threw a
pinch of sand into the Cats eyes
in an endeavor to losen its hold.
Then such fury as you never saw!
The Cat fairly flung itself at the
Sandman, splitting, bowling, scratch
ing, biting, until in desperation he
jumped from the Broom.
Down, down, down he fell until
he struck something loft and
stopped. Then he heard voice say,
Hello, are you the Sandman"
He had fallen right down the
chimney of Ted's house! .
There was only one thing to do,
so he threw a pinch of salt in Ted's
eyes, who wa, soon fast asleep.
Then something soft settled about
his shouldery and with gasp OF
surprise he recognized his Magic
Cloak. ..
With very thankful heart he fin
ished his work and sped back to
Fairyland. When he had told his
story, Mother Goose looked very
grave. "He must be punished some
how" she said as she glanced into
her Magic Mirror. ,.
What she saw there must have
pleased her, for she smiled wisely
and the subject was dropped.
