Nurse Jane, as she saw the tiny

NO WONDER THEY LAUGHED.

The reichstag laughed when, in address Sat
urday. DR.. Simons German foreign minister, who
negotiated with the allies reparations declared
that we should not repay wrong with wrong"
What was Dr. Simons thinking of? He ought to
have known that any such philosophy would certainly
tickle the disabilities Of the Huns, who not only be-
lieve in IAN eye for eye" but in repaying bread
with stone.
AS matter OF fact, Smons's premise was falla-
eous. when he posted that the allies wrong
exacting full reparations for German frghtfuness:
but that was not what the reichstag laughing at
II was the idea that Christian standards should be
applied to international dealings
Surely, in addressing group of Germans in
such a way Herr Simons must have been quoting
from der Fliegende Blaetter!

Hill What's this i

tell Baby Bunty a Bedtime Story,
when, all of a sudden, the front
door was pushed open and into the
bungalow burst the bad old Fox.
"Oh, hot" howled the Fox "You
thought you'd get away from me,
Uncle Wiggily, but you didn't!
What are those ?" the Fox asked,
pointing to the things like Noahs
arks.
MY easy shoes" said the bunny.
Il was just going to put them on,
as my feet are wet, and"
Give those easy shoes to met"
growled the Fox. I'm put them on
myself. My feet are wet, toor'
The bad chap pulled off his old
shoes and thrust both feet, as hard
as he could into Uncle Wiggily's
warm, dry, easy ones. And then, all
of a sudden, a look of pain came
over the face of the Fox and he
howled:
Hi! What's this! Nut shells and
ice picks! These easy shoes are
full of stickers Oh. you played a
trick on me! You played a trick"
And with a loud howl. shaking the
easy shoes off his feet out ran the
Fox.
What in the world is the mat
ter with my easy shoes p" asked I'm
Gle Wiggily in surprise.
"Oh, l guess / left my dolls in
them" laughed Baby Bunty.
Your dolls" said the bunny.
Eyes, / brought over my rough
corncob doll, and another doll still
more sharp and pickly, made from
pine tree cone. 1 made believe
your easy shoes were cradles and
put my stickery dolls to sleep in
'em. See" And from the big, easy
shoes Baby Bunty drew out her
c0rncob and pine cone dolls.
"Ha! Hal" laughed the bunny,
as he now put on his easy shoes.
You fooled the Fox all right"
And so Baby Bunty had. And il the
rice pudding doesn't boil over in the
oven and try to run out and play
with the fried egg. I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the rubber
plant.

THE DINNER.
CHAPTER LXXIv

CHAPTER LXXIV.
Everything went along beautiful
ly. At seven o'clock Peggy, Tom
and myself were all dressed and
waiting for our guests. Dinner was
to be at half past seven.
l wore my blue dress, and Peggy
her new white one. She looked
lovely; and / was very proud of
her. The house had been thorough
ly cleaned and put in order; and
the dining room was a picture,
When L thought of what the flor

when one has such quantities they

We had them in vases and bowls

Toms advice and used them as
favors. Everything which / could
possibly color pink was pink. The
fish, the salad, the ice, etc. The
dinner passed off delightfully."-;
everyone voting it q tremendous
success.
After dinner we tried to dance a
little, but the rooms were too small
for so many to dance comfortably
l was mortified that we had at
tempted it, but Tom with his usual
good mature turned 1t into joke
Then they all declared they would
rather talk anyway; so we sat
around and told stories and had a
real good time until midnight.

HOW TO MAKE A FIRELESS
COOKER OUT OF AN OLD BOX.

To make a fireless cooker at
home, select box of sufficient
heavy wood to admit of having
hinges put on it for the cover.
Select a pail Ca siX-quart pail with
pan to fit into it will do for a
family of four) which has a tight
fitting cover and which is about as
deep as it is wide. Aluminium is best,
but any ware will do.
Line the box throughout with
either asbestos, several thicknesses
Of newspaper, or with heavy wrap
ping paper lacking this lining into
place. Put in the bottom of the
box a layer three inches deep of
either mineral wool, sawdust, cot
ton batting, ground cork, or soft
wool. Lay piece of paper over this
bottom layer. Now sew two or three
thicknesses of pliable cardboard
into the form of a cylinder that
will fit around the pail loosely; this
cardboard cylinder must be as high
as the utensil it surrounds. Put the
pail inside of this cylinder and place
both in the middle of the box, on
top of the layer of packing material
you have just put in the bottom.
Now it is time to pack whatever
kind of stuffing you have decided
upon, around the pail-that is,
whatever you have used for the
bottom layer. Twenty-Five pounds
of mineral wool will pack a 15x15
inch box containing a nine-quart
pail. Mineral wool can be bought in
O. hardware store for about five
cents a pound. II the soft wool is
chosen, this must be bought at a
wooden mill Git will most about 80
cents per pound, but only pounds
of this soft wool will be required
to pack 15x15 inch box containing
nine-quart pail.) Cotton batting
can be had at any drygoods store.
Ground cork can be gotten from a
large grocery store which uses II
for packing fancy fruits. Sawdust
may be had from a sawmill or from
a butcher shop.
In packing around the pail, hold
the pail firmly in place with the
left hand and pack the stuffing
around it with the right hand until
the stuffing is level with the pail
top. Now cut q heavy piece of paste
board the exact size of the box top;
cut out a circle just the size of the
pail in the middle of this square
Of cardboard, and press this card
board into the box, allowing the
pail top to rise above 1t, through
the hole, very slightly.
The fireless cooker is now done
all but the lining. Any clever house
keeper can make this out Of muslin

LABELLING THE STREETS.

Announcement of the proposed establishment of
a tourists bureau by the Chamber of Commerce next
summer suggests another Improvement. That is the
clear labelling of the streets.
Albuquerque derives a great part of its support
from transient populaton-not merely the tour
lists who pass through, but the thousands of health
seekers who may remain here for years
4 Nothing impresses newcomer so much as to see
the names of the streets clearly marked. that he
can find his way without having to ask a passer by
or a policeman at every corner.

climate in the country But much still remains be

degree to the depression of stock

The foreign situation, the pre-
carious position of the railroads
and the deadlock existing in some
leading industries were once more
factors which participated fresh
liquidation and emboldened the
shorts to extend their commit

offered evidence of
the steady decline of railroad ton
mage and the detached or indiffer-
ent attitude of consumers.
At intervals the stock list Sug-
gested support of the better grade
