Avoiding Freckles.

Most freckle lotions contain one of
two powerful ingredients-either cor
rosive sublimate or bichloride of mer-
curry. These are very effective
bleaches and, properly combined with
other ingredients, they will make the
skin fine and white. These lotions,
however, are difficult to make and
dangerous to experiment with, for
if any mistake were made the lotion
might be too strong and the skin
burnt or injured. That is why 1 ad-
vocate avoiding freckles 1t is easier
to avoid than cure them.

There are mild bleaches which we

Seeing Is Believing.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
In this most people will agree:
'Tis hard 10 doubt the thing you see.


Seeing is believing. Everybody
knows this. Farmer Browns Boy
ihad believed tho story of the tracks
which had told him that Lightfoot
the Deer had eaten a trout. but it
was such hard thing to believe that
he meant to see the thing done with
his own eyes. He knew then that
! those to whom he told the story
| would have to believe it. So he had
, hung another trout on the very tree
/ from which the first one had been
stolen and had hidden where he could
watch all that might happen
! When at last Lightfoot appeared
Farmer Browns Boy hadn't the least
| doubt that Lightfoot would promptly
| trout. But Lightfoot did nothing of
the kind AT least. he didn't do 1t
| promptly. Perhaps his conscience
troubled him. Perhaps he felt that
! he had no right to that trout. though
l suspect that he didn't have any
such feelings at all. Anyway, for a
! long time he simply wandered about
| uneasily.
But gradually he drew nearer and
F! nearer to that tree on which hung
| the trout. At last he stood just un-
| der that trout. He looked this way:
he looked that way; he looked every
| way. He moved his big ears back
Then. as if satisfied that no one
| was about, he reached up and began
! to eat that trout, tail first. He ate
all but the head. That was fasten-
ed to the tree and he couldn't get
it Off Then he shifted about every
| where. as If trying to discover if
there were any more fish. Finding
none, he turned and walked off into
| the woods.
All this Farmer Browns Boy saw
He knew now that he had read Alright
! the story of the tracks the day be-
Deer will eat fish. He waited until
Lightfoot had disappeared. Then he
started for home.
But though Farmer Browns Boy
| believed what he had seen-for, OF
course. he could not do otherwise-he
foot happened to ACQUIRE a liking
Farmer Browns Boy couldn't under
| stand, and doesn't understand even
to this day.
1.-THE only way 1 can explain it"
| said he to Farmer Brown. when ne
| told him about it that night. sis
that somewhere, sometime, Lightfoot
| found the scraps left where fisher
men had cooked some trout and ate
them for the sake of the salt. You
know how crazy for salt Deer are
Perhaps in that way he learned to
like fsh. Anyway. he ate my trout
| and I saw him do it. II I hadn't
| seen it 1 wouldn't have dared tell
any one about it, for no one would
| have believed me. and I wouldn
have blamed them"
! Farmer Brown smiled. II guess
you are right, son." said he. II
thought I knew all about Deer. but
this is the first time I ever heard OF
l one eating fish. 1t goes to show how
little we know. after all, about our

them so interesting"
