MILL

At Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the
old Slater mill is being fitted up as
a textile museum. II was built in
1890, as clothing factory, and still
is IN excellent condition.
Those old days, before iron nails
were cheap, when houses were put
together with wooden pegs, they
built better than we do now At
least, you often hear old-timer4 say
so. Maybe they did, on the avefage
But, barring earthquakes, the Wool
worth building will be standing hun
dreds of years hence.
We may not do things as thorough.

JOKE.

A great joker was Hugh Brennan,
30 years, of Lynn, Mass. His ia,
vorite prank on fellow-motormen,
when he was off duty, was to run
into the street and fall down in front
of street car. That upset the
nerves of the electric driver and
Hugh got many a laugh.

trick before car driven by motor.

The return must be sworn to before

BOOM NOT NEEDED.

That the United States does not
need a, boom period in order to be
prosperous, is the statement made
Friday night at a banquet in New
York. by James S. Alexander. presi-
dent of the National Bank of Com
merce. Mr.. Alexander declared that
the substantial condition of national
wealth will of itself bring about an
adequate revival of business and COM

There are at present a number of
great business forces clearly at work

would be best for Dicky and me to
return to the old Brennan house at
Marvin. She also arranged that she
and Harry should accompany us there
leaving her colored maid, Betty, to
wait upon the two nurses and the sick
girl.
I'm not even asking you if you want
me-" she said, with the lovable i'm
periousness that is so characteristic
Of her, for I know you need me.
You're not fit to stay by yourself, for
you've been through too much. And
besides, theredl be less chance for
the neighbors to talk if we're all here
as we were before"
The gossip of the Marvin neighbors
was the thing we feared most. To pre-
vent it we had taken every precaution.
When l say ''We'' I mean Lillian, for
it was she who thought of everything.
From the moment when she had eent
for the Cresthaven taxi to come for US
in the place of the lone machine from
Marvin to the moment when she and
1 came back to the Marvin house chat
ting as gayly as if nothing had hap
pened, her vigilance had never falter-
ed.
1t was she who sent Katie back the
next morning after the accident with
instructions to open the house as if
nothing had happened, and say to any
one who inquired about us that Dicky
and I and the Underwoods had gone
for a short trip together.
From that day until the day Lillian
and 1 returned, Katie had come out
to Marvin from the city each morn
ing, stayed during the day to give the
house a semblance of occupation, and
returned to the city each evening
where she had SLEPT at the home of
her cousin, her only relative in the
city.
Lillian had also persuaded Grace
Diapers sister, Mrs German, to return
to her home. 1t was not hard to in
duce the poor woman to do so, for she
was almost useless in the sick room
and was sorely needed in her own
home. Lillian cautioned her to be sure
to say that her sister, Miss Draper
had been called away to the home OF
the sick relative whom she had visit
ed earlier in the summer.
Thus, with all our defences fortified
we came back to Marvin.

SELF-DEFENSE.

There Is an old proverb that "an
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound
OF cure" This is especially true when
the cure is lacking.
Throughout the country there has
been an epidemic of robberies. Pensa-
cola has not been missed, and robber-
los are taking place here with too
great frequency. Therefore. it is not
amiss to call attention to certain rules
OF conduct which. while they may not
prevent all robberies, will at least tend
to make it harder for the robbers to
succeed.
Here are 10 "dont's" which have
been successfully applied. not only In
various American cities, but also in
England. France and Toxic:
/. If no member of the family re-
mains at home. don't go out without
seeing that your house is well locked.
?. Don't neglect to lock up early.
8. When in a tramcar or in the
midst of a crowd. do not fail to see
that your purse is safely ensconced in
one of your inner pockets.
4 When making any payments.
don't show those around you how
much you have in Your purse.
5, When carrying anything valua
Bile, don't choose routes where traffic
is light.
6. Don't send women Or children

Adventures of

was trying to prevent them from get
ting to the South pole; and the ice
berg was nothing more nor less than
his own great ice-palace which he had
caused to break away from the ice
field at the North Pole and come
floating through the ocean.
And the Jim had turned himself
into q great white polar bear.
AS soon as the twins had gone
through the trapdoor in the roof and
descended the narrow stairway into
the castle, however the Jim changed
from a bear into an old woman. The
Jinn you know, was a wicked wizard
who could take any form he wished
Nick knew now who their host was
and was about to whisper the news
to Nancy and to ask the Green Shoes
to take them both safely away, when
the old woman knelt suddenly at the
little girls feet. You must be cold
my dear" she said. See! I shall slip
off your shoes and stroke your feet
with my warm hands. Sc! And then I
shall put on these nice red slippers
instead. Isn't that better?"
Nancy nodded. Yes, thank you in
deed it is" she said.
1t was done so quickly that Nick
could not interfere. 1t was too late to
warn Nancy now. Of course he could
have wished himself out of that at
once, but he never once thought OF
leaving his sister alone. No, he must
stay with her always.
But had he known what the little
red felt slippers were, he would not
have allowed the old woman to take
his own Green Shoes away nor to
place pair on his own feet, like those
she had given to Nancy.
They were the slippers of forgetful-
ness, and instantly the twins forgot
about their errand.

building war boats would remove the
avenue through which powerful in
tterests live off the public, and it is
probable that these interests are so
strongly entrenched that efforts of
those who would save the people of
this and other countries the unneces-
sary expense of maintaining huge
navies, will, after a little furry of

so.

how to spell CAT and DOG and COW
