How to Knock a TumbIer
Through a Table.-This trick will
arouse an immense amount of cur
iosity and surprise. But remember
never repeat it!
Sit on a chair behind table,
keeping your audience in front.
Place an ordinary tumbler upside
down on the table Cover the
tumbler with a newspaper and
press the paper down around the
glass so that it takes the form of
the glass.
Then draw the paper to the edge
of the table, let the tumbler drop
into your lap, quickly returning
the paper to the center of the
table. The stiffness of the paper
will preserve the form of the
tumbler.
Hold the paper form with one
hand and with the other strike it
a heavy blow. At the same instant
let the tumbler roll easily from
your lap onto the floor. 1t looks
like you have positively knocked
the tumbler through the table
Smooth out the paper before
anyone can examine 1t Once is
enough for this trick.-Boys' and
Girls Newspaper.

With my smoke putting up to the

With a long and fluttering tail,
And strong little breeze would
come blowing along.
And way off in the air would sail.

With a rudder to help me steer;
/ would climb up and down over
blue dancing waves.
With some dolphins and whales

Caroline

A way out west in a deep woods
there lived little girl. Her name
was Caroline. She was very poor.
Her mother and father were both
dead. She lived with her grandpa.
One evening ner grandpa didn't
come home. Caroline was very
much worried about him, SO she
went out in the woods to find him.
He was wood chopper. She went
on and on, but she couldn't find
him. She looked around but she
didn't know her way home. She
sat down by a tree and began to
cry. She sat there long time and
cried herself to sleep.
In the morning she got up and
didn't know where she was. She
wandered around for three days.
She lived ON wild berries.
One day she found a path. She
followed it and came to little
house. She went in. but no one
was there. After awhile she heard
some one coming. She ran and hid
herself, but the man that came in
heard someone and and found her
under the table. He seemed kind
and told her he would take her
home, but instead, he took her to
a dark, ugly cave and locked her
In. She stayed there all night.
In the morning the. man came
and got her. He put her on a horse
and they started away. He was
very mean to Caroline They came
to a small town. He told her
that If she told anybody about
him he would kill her. Then
the man went in store and
bought something. In an hour or
so the man came out. Caroline
was very tired but she was afraid
to tell the man. They rode on and
on, until they came to tumbled-
down looking shack.
He told her to get off the horse
and get in the house, and she did
as she was told. The man made
her work very hard. She lived
there with the man long time.
She had grown very pretty. She
was eighteen years Of age. One
day the man told her to go to the
town, not far off. and get some
groceries. So she went to the
town grocery and saw an old man
working behind the counter His
face looked familiar. She looked
at him and he saw her looking and |
wondered why. And as he looked |
he recognized her. and cried,
"Caroline!"
And she cried, "Grandpa!"
Caroline told all about what had
happened and he said that as he
was coming home from chopping
he saw some nice trees and he
stopped to chop them down and
when he got home he didn't know
where she was. so he lived by
himself awhile and then went
away because of the lonesomeness
and had come here to work In the
store.
So Caroline lived with her old
grandpa until he died, and then she
got married and lived happily everl

Chapter w.
SkEETS LEARNS WHAT
is MATTER WITH OLD
BAUMBERG'S GROCERY

1t was a restless night Sheets
experienced +. Twice or three times
he was awoke from a troubled
sleep Once he dreamed he was
working for Baumberg, the grocer.
and while carrying a huge barrel
of green apples to the rear of the
store dropped them on a crate of
eggs
""What good can little Teller
like you be-" Old Baumberg's
words rang through Skeets' brain.
They insulted him. They made
him want to get up and fight
almost.
Skeets Forms Scheme.
II know" spoke Skeets, half
aloud, in the darkness, II know
what I'll do. I'll just show Baum
berg what little Teller like me
can do. I'll make him give me
job-that's what" And with this
determination Skeets dozed again,
only to dream of more barrels of
green apples and smashed crates
of eggs.
Next day Skeets stationed him
self on soap box near Baum
berg's store and watched. Baum
berg didn't seem to be getting
many customers. But several doors
down and across the street Ray
mond's grocery store appeared to
be attracting most of the house
wives with their shopping lists.
Studies Baumberg's.
81 wonder why?" unused Skeets.
Must be something awful wrong
with Baumberg's. I'm going to
compare the two stores. Ray
mond's seems lot cleaner than
Baumberg's. Old BaurSberg's win
dow displays are always messed
up. Raymond's amt. And look
at Baumberg's front windows.
Don't look as though they'd been
washed in month of Mondays.
Old Mr.. Baumberg amt a neat per-
son, anyhow, so you can't expect
his store to be. But Mr.. Raymond
and Bud Raymond-they sure keep
their place spick and span.
He Commences Work.
"I'll bet If old Baumberg would
clean up his place once in a while
he'd get lot of Raymond's trade.
prices are just the
same as Raymond's I'm going to
make some suggestions to Baum
berg. I'll just show him how 1t
pays to have somebody around to
suggest things. And I'm going to
be the somebody he needs"
AS soon as Skeets had finished
the situation in this
manner and come to his decision
to "show Baumberg that he was
The one he needed" he started at
swift pace for home. On the way
ne stopped at the stationery store
and bought some heavy pieces of
white cardboard, some drawing
paper and some black ink.
"Tll bet my scheme works."
Skeets chuckled as he climbed to
lis room and got busy.

no one in town was in need of boys
to work for them.
"But I've got to find a job"
Skeets told himself. "Smitty and
Tom got theirs, and they're goin'
to work all vacation. I'm goin to
get one, too, and show 'em I'm just
as able to earn money as they are"
Skeets set out for a walk
through the downtown district Of
Carson. The streets were pretty
quiet that early in the morning, for
Carson was not large town.
Skeets had ample opportunity to
think.
Maybe some store will have a

started toward the screened en-
trance of the store. He opened the
door and walked in. No one was
in sight, but a box dropping in the
rear of the store told him Mr..
Baumberg was back of the old par
tition preparing for the days bus
mess.
When Baumberg heard the door
of his store slam he hurried around
the partition. AS he walked UP to
Skeets he squinted his mean little
eyes over the top of his funny
spectacles and rubbed his chubby
hands on his soiled apron.
Nothing Doing.
"What can l do for you, my
boy?" He talked with foreign
accent.

There seldom probably WAS a
novelist with such an uncanny
knowledge OF his characters as
she has OF Mr.. Salteena- The first
line OF the tale etches him for all
times. "Mr. SalteenA was an
elderly man OF forty-two and
fond OF asking people to stay

after dinner Ethel played some
merry tunes on the piano and
Bernard responded with a rather
loud song in a base voice and
q Ethel clapped him a good deal.
Then Mr.. Salteena asked a few
riddles as he was not MUSCLE"
No wonder Mr.. Salteena went
gloomily to bed. not to sleep, but
to think out the greater riddle Of
how to become a gentleman, with
which triumphant adventure the
book is largely concerned.
