 Grandpa took his basket of nuts and poured them on the ground near his house back of bush, as if he had hid den them there
 The radishes he put in a basket and placed it under tree and dropped his coat beside it so it would look as if he had just been in the garden working.
 Then he sat down in the house by and waited.
 He did not have to wait long for the Squirrel brothers were always up bright and early and called for Tom mic Rabbit to come out and find some fun.
 They came running along the path that led past the house where Grand pa Fox lived. when Billy Squirrel, who was quicker than the others, ran into Grandpa's yard.
 He spied the nuts and back he went as quick as a flash and told the news to the others.

out a flourish. After the meal, at a restaurant or formal dinner. lay it un- folded at your place. If you are a time guest in the household and will remain another meal, you may fold the napkin in it's original creases.
 Never put the end of a spoon into your mouth, sip everything from the side of the spoon, and do this noise 1eSSly. Never use spoon when a fork will serve. Forks are now often used for eating ice cream, and salad is folded or cut with the side of a fork, never with the knife. Even small vegetables like peas are eaten with a fork.
 Never hold your knife and fork up in the air when your host is serving you afresh. Lay them on one side of the plate when you send 1t to the host by servant or your neighbor at table.
 Never leave your spoon in coffee or tea cup. Lay 1t on the saucer
 Never cool food by blowing upon it. Wait until it becomes cool enough to eat
 Never take a second helping at large and formal dinner. You will find yourself eating alone.
 Never make yourself conspicuous in any way by aiding the host or hostess in serving, unless especially asked to do so. or in passing dishes when serv- ants are provided for that purpose.
 Never push back your plate and finger crumbs at the conclusion of the meal. It indicates undue haste

 Grandpa Fox knew that was all that was needed to make them carry off the nuts and radishes, so he pounded and called until they were out of sight.
 ''Stolen sweets are always the sweetest" he said. That may be true in some cases. but I'll wager my pipe those youngsters will find out that is not a true saying always.
 And they did, for Billy Squirrel did not bother Grandpa Fox any more Such sneezing was never heard in the woods before, even the chicken with the whoOping cough did not SneeZe any harder, though they all found their heads and tails were safe when it was over.
 Their mouths and throatS were burned, too, and so for many days they suffered for their badness and now old Grandpa Fox can sit all day in the sun and no one bothers him.

brought both the masculine and fem mine into great vogue in England In deed, it has since been accepted as a national name.
 But. like all names which have a masculine and feminine equivalent, Alberta has no really individual ex- istence. After all, she is merely a masculine name with feminine termination. But unlike many of her contemporaries, such as Edwina and Roberta, she is almost frivolously feminine and is not regarded as a sub- stitute name for the hoped-for son and heir who was to have been called Albert.
 Jade is Alberta's talismanic stone It. has the power to assure it's wearer great prosperity, and freedom from danger and disease. But it should never be removed from the finger, arm, or throat on which it is worn Monday is Alberta's lucky day and 1 her lucky number.

The drug store was quite near the dancing hall but the druggist was not a dancer, and had been in bed many hours when he was awakened by the violent ringing of his night bell.
 With sleepy words of complaint he pulled himself from his warm bed.

NEWSPAPERS HAVE VITAL INTER- EST IN FOREST FIRE PRE-

Denver.-A burning cigarette butt beside a woods-road in northern Maine may mean much to the business man. agement of the Texas Daily Bugle. Sounds like a joke, but is it? The Daily Bugle, say specialists of the forest service, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, represents the newspaper industry dependent on for ests for it's existence; the smoldering cigarette portrayS forest fires caused by human carelessness. Newspaper is made from wood Fires destroy and lessen the supply of raw material with a resultant increase in the price of pa per stock. Hence, the relation between the cigarette butt in Maine and the newspaper in Texas.
 This is the day and age of news papers. Newsprint is a 100 per cent forest product, but few persons see their next years supply of newspapers in a grove of trees. They do not con- meet the passing of the penny paper with the burning of the forests.

JUST MATTER OF DEDUCTION
As the Boy Explained 1t, the Finding of Horse Was Really Quite
 Simple Matter.

Speaking of the development of the storytelling talent in youth, Richard Bennett, the actor, is fond of relating this incident:
 Some years ago a prominent citizen of a town lost a horse. It was not much of horse. In fact, it was blind In one eye and spavined. But, per haps as a relic, Bennett says, the prominent citizen wanted the horse. So he advertised, offering $5 reward for its return The town half-wit, a boy of nineteen, with a harelip, came one afternoon leading the horse, with a strap about the size of shoestring, to the prominent citizens door. The horses owner was pleased.
 "Now," said he kindly, scenting a good narrative and perhaps an ad- venture, "now; my boy, here's your $5; and I'll give you another $5 if you'll tell me just how you found my horse.'
 "Well, all right said the boy. '1 jus thought if I was that old horse where I would go, and I did and he waS.''

HOW DO YOU SAY IT? By C. N. LURE Common Errors in English and
 How to Avoid Them
TO EXPECT AND TO THINK.

TO NOT use the word "expect'' in A the sense of suppose, believe or think. For example, the use of the word expect in the following sen tence is incorrect: '1 expect that your lessons are done." The verb "ex- pect" means ito look forward to as probable or certain; to await, to feel assured of something before it occurs to anticipate;' as, 'I expect to go to church next Sunday, if the weather is fine" Usually we use expect when we look forward to an event with in- terest or desire. "One should not say, T expect it is,' still less, expect it was We cannot expect the present or the past" says one authority

Washington, September 16.-Only few of the levy sections of the House tax bill remained to be noted upon when the Senate finance com mittee resumed today revision of the measure. The inheritance tax pro- vision was the principal one left but the committee also was to pass finally on a treasury plan to effect the one per cent reduction in the in- come surtaX brackets, up to the pro- posed maximum of 32 per cent, so as to give some relief to individuals having incomes of $GS,000 or less. The question of imposing the manufac turers tax on some of the articles to which the so-called retail sale luxury taxes now apply, also was open In addition, there remained final decision on a number of legis- lative features of the House bill.
 Having passed the excise levy sec ton of the measure yesterday the committee expected to wind up its work tomorrow, so as to give the experts three working days in which to put the measure in shape for presentation to the Senate Wednes- day.

GERMAN SUB BUILT
 WEAK, EXPERT SAYS

Boston, September 16.--The Ger man submarine, U-111. was built poorly. both as to materials and workmanship, in the opinion of Capt. C. c. Adams, United States navy. in dustrial manager at the Portsmouth navy yard. He expressed his opin- ion in testimony yesterday befose a navol board of inquiry which $ in vestigating the sinking of the U- boat off Lynn Haven, Va. last June. Instead of using brass and copper piping. he said. the Germans per haps by the exigencies of their blockade. substituted steel and ron, with the result that corrosion and rust made the submarine unequal to the demands of navigation.
 The boat was weakened further, he said, by the removal of certain parts at Portsmouth, asordered by the navy department Because the U-111 was going out to be sunk In bombing practice, it was thought in- advisable to make her shipshape.

Far out at sea, the Dauntless was met by a destroyer division of the United States navy. As it neared port, the escort was augmented by fleet of seaplanes. representing the arm of the service for which vic tins gave their lives. As the tu- neral ship came up the harbor. the forts thundered d salute church beels tolled on the Brooklyn and Staten Island shores and passing craft dipped their colors in rever- ential salute.

 The Dauntless proceeded directly to the navy yard in Brooklyn, where sailors tenderly carried the bodies from the deck of the craft and de- livered them to the keeping of theii former comrades in arms on the pier Tonight the flag -draped cas- kets were under the watchful eyes of a guard of honor in the navy yard chapel. where tomorrow they will be rendered the honor that the navy pays to it's heroic dead
 The 15 caskets. each draped in an An erican flag, were carried on what is krown as the after super-struc- ture deck of the Dauntless.
 A monster gun, its muzzle shroud- ed in funeral colors, stretched over the bodies. arranged in three rows On the warcraft's S deck.
 At each cornersof the deck as the vessel was warped into its pier ste cd an armed sentry with head bowed anl arms reversed. Forward of the platform was noncommissioned of ficel, and aft an officer in full dress uniform having rank equal 70 that of Commander MaXfield. Both of these officers stood at attention with head uncovered until the cas- kets were finally removed from the ship.
 on the decks of the cruiser the en- tire crew of 400 men. with the eN- ception of those on duty, were drawn up to attention.
 On the quarter deck was guard of the Royal Marine Light infantry standing rigid with reversed arms.
