Peter Harris, as he frightened the

boned mule.

his sister Grace. Its his front feet

Cheer up. little sister," replied
Peter. "Alex may vet let us have
Prince"
He put Grace up first and swung
himself into the saddle. asking: Have
you the eggs?"
Eyes, Brother, I have them. but
how long 1 shall keep them Is Tor
Moses to say"
Off they went at a slow pace down
the road sweet with spring flowers
and new leaves. 1t was good TO be
alive, but Grace hoped they would not
meet any of their friends for she felt
that she and her brother cut a sorry
figure on the back of the disreputable
old mule. The trouble was that owing
to the Revolutionary Wal their family
had become too run down to afforI
more thar one good horse and he was
being used by Alex. their older broth
er, so the younger brother and sister
had to content themselves with Moses
since it was long. long before the day
of fiivvers.
When they reached the big colonial
house where they were to leave the
eggs, Grace offered to stay on the road
with Moses while her brother went in.
She slid off the mules back, letting
the reins trail On the ground. He
could be trusted not to run away. Then
she pumped herself down on the soft
new grass sprinkled with violets and
danoelions. The warm drowsy air
stirred her brown curls and before she
knew it she was half asleep.
Suddenly she was aroused by the
sound of galloping hoofs and starting
up she saw a horse coming full tilt in
her direction.
"A runaway" she thought, and be-
fore she realized what she was doing
she a out in the road, directly in
the animals path. On 1t came but
Grace never wavered. Her will must
have conquered, for the horse SHE'D
and stopped when it reached her.
But Moses had been showing great
excitement as the horse came thunder
ing nearer and nearer and when 1t
came close and SHE'D. it crowded
against the old mule. This was too
much for Moses. Something about
the painting, quivering animal fright
ened him. With a shrill cry he
wheeled about and tore off at full gal
lop in the direction of home.
Grace held the new horse by the
name and breathed into its nostrils as
she had seen their Sam do. Just as
She la succeeded in calming 1t her
brother came from the house.
"Gramercy!" he exclaimed. what

Neither" laughed Grace. "but this
is a runaway which has scared our
Moses into a fit, 1 fear. for he Is run
ming away!"
They did not know what to do at
first but as there was no n in sight
to claim the horse and as their mule
was gone and the trip home too long
and tedious to be pleasant, they at last
mounted the strange horse bareback
and started for home.
Such a ridei They seemed to skim
over the ground. Peter had always
prided himself on being an expert
rider and many a colt had he roped
and ridden in the field. but this horse
was different; he travelled by great
leaps and bounds and his back was as
slippery as the back Of an eel. Peters
arms went around the long out
stretched neck. while Grace chung to

TO go to the dentist! Or course
it is necessary to visit the dentist
~ at times, but If boys would use a
toothbrush every day to keep their
teeth clean many painful cases OF
toothachs and some visits to the dem
fist would be avoided.
Poor teeth, aside from the Immediate
pain they may cause, effect a boys
whole system. In the first place de-
cayed teeth will effect the stomach,
and this will keep q boy from enjoy
ing his meals or sleep. And second,
dirty teeth soon have cavities in which
food lodges and decays, usually neces-

and will always keep the brush and
paste in their place handy for use. 1t
is an advantage to keep the brush and
paste separately so the brush will be
open to tho air extending the life Of
the brush.
The back of the holder should be

some means for raising the tube out OF

made in the front of the pocket by
boring a hole near the bottom OF the
slot with a coping saw. It Is always
difficult to bore large holes in thin
material without splitting 1t. This can
be accomplished, however. by boring

One always feels with the approach
 of each new spring and summer season that the smart Parisienne this time
 may place the stamp of her approval on the truly summer dress of lingerie material or a novelty cotton. A well dressed French woman, notes fashion writer, can only consider her frocks
 made of these light and summery fab. rics as suitable to be worn at the
 races at Deauville in August, on the tennis court, or around the tea table on the lively lawns surrounding her
 chateau, where she spends few weeks
 and a slightly larger number of week ends that can re spared from pressing social duties elsewhere.
 Despite the limited number of wom- en who wear such dresses on these hardly frequent occasions every spring. in all the big collections a de cided number of this type of dress is shown The Frenchwoman seems to consider any summer event and all sports from a peculiarly social angle, so she has not great use for this sim pie summer frock so beloved by her American sisters.
 Costumes Vie With Simple Dresses. When she does find a real summer dress, which she considers fitting for one of her complicated midsummer afternoons, one can rest assured that it is very beautiful with distinct cachet and truly French charm; a charm perhaps in intricacy of cut or detail or in a daring and successful ly mannish simplicity. And like a
 paradox the more fancy dyes will most
 likely be seen fluttering under a par asol on the shady side of tennis court
 while the simpler frock will stalk bold
 ly into busy group around a tea table
 at Deauville.
 Dresses of this type made by the greatest French dressmakers have met
 with the complete approval of their designers and makers. They already
 have had most successful outings,
 thanks to the American woman, who
 has worn them in Florida, in Cali
 fornia and at the Country club, wealth

 In spite of the fact that the we'll

 summery dresses and sports clothes,

 Susy Sore Throat was taking a day or so about leaving. She knew she had to go, but it took her little time to pack up her bag of horrible mean little belongings.
 And, while Su~y Sore Throat was leaving, nice visitors came to see Lucy.

WIPE WORKERS col
 Washington, Oct. 2I.-lt was an unusually dull day in the United States Senate when a page opened the door leading from the cloakroom and there entered the almost vacant legislative cham%er Senator Knute Nelson of Alexandria, Minn, form erly of Norway, carrying a grouch of considerable proportions. The rev enue bill was supposed to be under consideration, but the rules permit a Senator to select and speak upon any subject so lNng as 1t does not pertain to the main question.
 Senator Nelson chose to express his opinion on the organized labor move ment, directing his vehemence in par ticular to the railroad organizations. q am getting tired of the threatened strike of railroad workers and there ought to be show down" he said.
 The Senator charged that organized labor's refusal to accept reduced wages was the chief obstacle to an in dustrial and business revival. He didn't have a word of criticism for the railroads in maintaining rates that throttle business, the coal operators for holding prices so high that the people can not buy fuel for the win ter supply, for the steel corporations

 Cottage Chicken.-To two cupfuls of cooked chicken, cut in pieces, add one cupful of cooked macarOni, one half large canned pimento. one half of, a grated onion.
