they will take care Of the color work

The sky should be blue The trees
should be coIored a greenish brown, with
those in the background a little lighter
than the ones in the foreground. The bird
ought to be colored dark brown on the
back and head. with the breast colored a
light gray: The Teenie Weenies' faces
should be pink. Gogo should have brown

tan. The Teenie Weenies' clothes can be

Is 1t a Sign of Rain When
Smoke Is BlolUn Dolrn
the ChimneV?

1t may be or it may not be. II
we think about this question for
ourselves we shall see that no one
could answer simply "yes" or mo-
to it.. The travelling of smoke up
the chimney, and of wind down it,
are complicated matters.
We may be sure that when wind
blows down the chimney the air is
not still, and wind very often brings
rain, for wind is moving air, and this
air may be laden with moisture,
which is apt to fall as rain.
But, though wind and rain often
go together, so that rain is more
likely to fall when the smoke is
blown down the chimney, yet there
are winds which are usually dry and
bring no rain with them. Different
chimneys smoke with different
winds, and some smoke with all
winds, and some with none; so,
plainly, it is impossible TO answer
this question except in general
way.-Book Of Wonders.

The Go Hawk Hero.

Little Johnny was thinking oi the
big football game that was 10 be
$50 on Monday afternoon and here
il was Monday already.
Johnny had earned only 10 cents,
he had 81 cents more 10 earn.
All al once Johnny heard kitten
crying. lie ran TO see what was the
trouble. He found some big boys
trying 10 drown kitten. Johnny
ran up and told the boys TO stop.
The boys only said:
Make us il you can"
Then little Johnny said
"Hn~ would you like 10 be
drowned. and what is the iln OF do
ing a cruel thing" :,
The boys began TO feel ashamed,
and went away.
Soon a man passed by, and said to
Johnny, "Have you seen kitten
around here? My little girl has lost
one" Johnny handed him the kit
ten, and told him the story OF its
rescue. Then the man said. You
deserve a golden medal" But John
ny answered proudly:
II am Go Hawk and that is our
duty The man said, you may go
to the football game with me- -.
So Johnny went TO the football
game with the man and had a treat.
The man saw that Johnny enjoyed
the game so much that he gave him
season ticket to go to all OF the
games!ARoseberta Tracy, 1906 Park

A New Year Resolution.

Donald was a cruel boy, who liked
10 kill birds. He had a twin sister
whose name was Dorothy. Dorothy
loved the birds and animals. She
did not like to have her brother kill
the birds. Dorothy tried to tell her
brother it was cruel to kill the birds,
but Donald did not listen. New
Years came around and Dorothy
was surprised to find her brother
not going shooting with the rest OF
the boys. Dorothy asked him If he
would ioin the Go-Hawk club. He
said yes. Donald went out and told
the boys what he mad done. They
said they would do the same. In a
few days about 10 letters went to
The Bee office. The boys said they
would never kill or injure any more
birds. They all kept their promises.
Will some of the Go-Hawks please
write TO me. l will gladly answer;

ican sentiment There is no way in which payment can be forced, and no real disposition on the part of Con gress to make such move
 The debt commission will consult with the nations of Europe and see lwhat they can offer in the way of payments.
 Interest AcculmuIating
 One of the greatest difficulties with the foreign debt is that the interest at the existing rate of per cent, Is accommodating so rapidly that most of the European allies are staggered at the size of the interest obligations alone Some of the Congress leaders fell that by continuing to charge interest at the rate of Az per cent this phase of the situation will not be materially relieved. England is about to undertake a start on semi-annual payment of the interest charges as- sessed against her although there are many Englishmen who believe the United States is something of a prof iteer in insisting upon the 5 per cent on money which the American gov ernment borrowed from it's people at rate>of interest which began as low as az per cent and did not go above A.
 May Ask Rebate
 It is even suggested that some of the allies will ask that they be cred tied with a rebate on accumulated interest charges in keeping with the sums the United States actually had to pay for the money transferred to the allies.
 While the British people are main taining a discreet silence, there is no doubt that in the other countries of Europe there had been profound dis appointment that congress at tht1 time should send out notice that pay ments will be expected shortly to begin.
