than being good. He became rude
and very cross to the servants. One
day he kicked Towser. The dog
growled and Tom was afraid 10 kick

playing in the yard poor boy stood
by the gate. He was ragged and
dirty and in one hand carried a pail
half full of blackberries. Go away

Rotary Club Members
And Scouts Go Hiking

Auto hiking seems to be popular
pastinie with the scouts of Omaha
And the reason for its popularity is
that the men from the Rotary club
like it as we'll as the scouts do, and
are willing to give their time and
cars every once in while for a
hike to the woods.
Last week two of these hikes
were pulled off. Troop 3 from
Windsor school was taken out in
automobiles by several Rotary club
members and cooked their supper.
Eight scouts went on this trip north
of Florence. After supper short
campfire was held, and then all rode
home in the moonlight. The scouts
are strong for auto hikes, and hope
to hold several more in the near
future.
Troop 81 from South Omaha went
on hike Thursday night in cars

The Doctor had been busy making
gasoline, while the little folks rested,
and six thimblesful of pure gasoline
filled the tiny storage tanks in each
car.
The Tennie Weenies were up be-
fore sunrise one morning, and the
sun had hardly peered over the east
ern hills when the last tent had been
pulled down, rolled up, and tossed
on to the top of one of the trucks.
When all was ready the two trucks
chugged out on to the road and
soon they were speeding so Ieenie
Weenies miles an hour over the fine
highway.
Every now and then the little
trucks would stop beneath the shady
weeds along the road to let the big
autos speed by, and occasionally
they had to run entirely off the road
to keep from being seen by folks
who happened to be walking along
the highway.
1t was a beautiful day, aud the
Teenie Weenies expected to cover
many miles before evening, but one
can never tell how far they will go
in an automobile, for many things
may happen between daylight and

In short time the Lady of Fash
ion and her friends packed their
lunch and set off for the big woods,
which stood some little distance
from the camp. while several of the
boys went fishing.
Even if it was a lovely day it
seemed to be filled with trouble,
for no sooner had the little ladies
entered the big woods when one
OF the twins, who had been taken
along by their mother, was severely
bitten by mosquito.
A huge lump appeared on the lit
tie fellows head, nearly as big as
pea, and his mother was forced to
hurry back to the camp in search
of the Doctor, who soon quieted the
little fellow.
The rest OF the little ladies who
had stayed for the picnic had just
finished their lunch and were lying
under the shade of a mushroom,
when a huge caterpillar fell off a
bush overhead and tumbled at the
feet of the Lady Of Fashion.
he little women were SCafeu nall
out of their wits. In fact, they were
so nervous the whole day was
spoiled, and they soon made their
way back to camp where they spent
the rest of the afternoon listening
to the workmen's hammers as they
pounded on the tiny engine.
Just before dinner the Ounce was
carried into camp, covered with mud
and half drowned. The foolish fel.
low had gone fishing, tied the enc
of his line to his leg, gone to sleep
and was pulled into the creek wher
a hungry minnow grabbed his hook
If it hadn't been for the Cowboy
and the Old Soldier who happened
to be near, the silly Ounce might
have been drowned.
"Just think what day we have
had of it," said the Lady of Fashion
as the little folks gathered about
the camp fire that evening. I'll
started out to be such lovely day
and just see what misfortunes We
have had"

The Largest Rain.Cage

Mount Waialeale, Of Kaui. Ha-
waiian islands, is the rainiest spot
on earth. The United States geologi-
cal survey measured the rainfall with
a gage. The summit of the noun,
tain is probably the most inaccessible
place at which a rain gage has ever
been installed and maintained. Only
the most expert mountaineers car
climb to it, and the visit entails a
three-day trip.
In order to meet this difficulty
the survey decided to install gage
so large that it would hold a years
rainfall. The gage placed on Wal.
aleale in 1910 had capacity of oot
inches, but proved too small. The
present gage, installed in 1920, holds
900 inches.-Popular Science.

very rich man, but like his daughter
he was also kind. One day on COM
ing home from school Alice heard
someone weeping. She looked
around and saw a little girl clad in
rags sitting on large stone nearby.
Alice asked the girl what her name
was. She replied, "Susanne." Then
Alice said, well Susanne, my name
is Alice Murray and / want to be
your friend. What is the matter?"
Susanne said that her father must
go to war unless he gave $500 to the
government. Alice said "Come to
my house on Madison avenue to-
night and l will give you the
money" Then Alice went home.
When she got home she asked her
father for $500 and gave it to SUI
same. One day on Monday three
weeks later, Alice's father came
home and said that he had been
robbed of all his money. Then he
said that they must move into an
other little house. When Susanne
heard what had happened to Alice
she and her father came over and
said that they had come over to re-
pay the $500. Then Mr.. Murray
thanked them and they went home.
Four weeks later the robber was
found and Mr.. Murray's money was
