NO DOUBT ABOUT GRATITUDE
Any Younester Will Understand That
Poor Boy Was Deeply Appreci-
ative of Tommy's Gift.

For some time Mrs Caraway had
been endeuvoring to instill into the
heart of her youngster, Tommy, aged
ten, the sentiment of generosity, which
it seemed to her. was not naturally
present. In this relation she had been
especially careful to commend to
Tommy's consideration the son of a
poor family in the neighborhood.
One day Tommy came home radiant.
Well he said to his mother, II
gave that poor boy half of the box of
candy you bought for me"
The mother also beamed. You are
dear little boy" she said. "Was
the poor boy grateful?'
Yes. ma'am," said Tommy; "he
was grateful. all right. He came
round to the school yard and let me
lick him where everybody was looking
on."-Harper's Magazine.

more difficult to hit than Superb, which
is stationary. She is propelled by oil.
The supply of oil is turned on, her
engines are started, and the engineers
flee from her before she gathers too
much headway. Her speed as well as
her steering apparatus are controlled
by wireless in another ship.
The most exciting part of these
tests is that played by the sloop Snap
dragon. She is responsible for taking
accurate motion pictures Of what hap

being hit by the monster armor-piercing
projectiles as well as being rammed
