ITO Thaddeus Abbott?" whispered
Aunt Kate, just to make sure.

ITO Thaddeus Abbott7" whispered
Aunt Kate. just to make sure.
Fanny glowlngly happy, nodded.
But Emmy's cup OF Joy ran over
when week later Thaddeus Abbott
laid in her hands small velvet box.
'Not diamond bucklesl" painted
Emmy, rs she viewed the glltterlng
covered ornaments. "Oh |" and pressed
the cold, dazzling stones to her warm
lips. If she had had any mur-
muring doubts now she was sure
that Thaddeus Abbott was her real
prince for everlasting happiness.
She could scarcely wait to thank
him and rushed to her room to show
Aunt Kate and Uncle Dave this en-
blem Of her happiness, the reallza-
ton of her fondest dream, for they
knew what diamond buckles had al
ways meant in Emmy's life. She has
tened to the connecting dressing
room, Aunt Kate's name on her lips,
but waited when she heard the word
diamond buckles" mentioned.
"You told him, Dave, what impor-
tance Emmy attached to them2" ques-
toned her aunt, "and he laughed
about it? That wasn't very nice Of
him"
II insisted" Uncle Dave emphasized
II could have shaken the fellow, put
ting 1t off from day to day. This morn
ing cornered him, all right. He said
he lost all his money in the game last
night-another thing don't like-so,
Kate, went out and bought those dia-
mond buckles and told him to give
them to her."
Emmy sat In her room in the dark
for long time. 1t was as If sud-
denly everything was stripped Of arti-
ficiality and finery and there remained
only the truth, bare and startling. The
intoxicating excitement Of the novelty
of the unaccustomed surroundings left
her; she felt very sober and-home-
sick. She saw herself as a fortune
hunter grasping for the material, not
considering the real worth of char
acter Thaddeus Abbott, stripped Of
adornment and atfectedness, was but
gambler.
Uncle Dave" whispered Emmy the
next morning, "Im sorry to leave you
/ this way-l've written Mr.. Abbott a
little note, and here" she pressed
the velvet case In his hand-"I know
you and Aunt Kate will understand"
A very quiet Emmy threw herself In
her mothers arms that night. 81
couldn't so through with It, Mummie-
want real happiness!"
after all I'm glad you want that
and not money" smiled her mother un-
derstandlngly.
1t was only few nights later when
Emmy and Johnny O'COnnOr sat on
the porch swing discussing the next
family picnic in view, when lull In
the conversation gave Johnny the op-
portunity to say rather embarrass-
| ingly: Before you went away, Emmy,
l bought you little present-not
much, but 1 thought" He drew a
pasteboard box from his pocket and
laid 1t in her open palm.
/ Emmy raised the lid, and there on
a neat white card were pinned two dia-
mond slipper buckles Not real dla.
monds, Of course, but dazzling imlta-
tions.
"Oh, Johnny" was all Emmy could
say in n clouded, trembling little whis-
per- and looked from the brilliants to
Johnny's eyes. Shine as these paste
diamonds did, they could not shine as
bright and clear as the love In
Johnny's eyes, yet Emmy knew that
this time these buckles We're the real
thing for happiness.

Insect Paper Makers.

Various species of wasps build their
nests of paper manufactured by them
selves. The material used Is decayed
wood, which the wasp rasps off, and
afterwards mashes into a pulp with
It's teeth. The pulp so formed is
spread out layer upon layer, and al
lowed to dry, when 1t hardens and
forms coarse paper. A species Of
wasp found In South America builds
a huge nest. SO many layers Of pulp
are used that kind of coarse card
board Is formed, so strong that 1t will
resist rain and wind, and will some
times last four or five years.

glad to hear that the people of Osce-

a report from the Florida Seminole
agency which shows that while only
$50 Of the Indians remain in the Ever

they lack in population. The Sem
inoles have their own unwritten code,
which is enforced by a headnan. The
laws are "just and inflexible and if
one is violated the erring one accepts

Chatter, chatter, chatter!" said
Will, which meant in bird language.
"You thief, you thief!'
And off few Willy Bluejay to tell
all the birds in the woods that Miss
Kitten was coming dressed in her new
hat trimmed with the wings and
feathers Of their relatives.
When Miss Kitten reached the mid
die Of the woods there on the trees
and bushes, out Of her reach, of
course, sat hundreds of birds, chatter
Ing like mad.
you arc thief, you wicked cat!"
they shrieked at her, you killed our
children, you killed our mother, you
killed our father, you killed our sister
and you billed our brother"
At first Miss Kitten did not notice
them, but as she walked along they
flew over her, still screaming.
Just before she reached the end of
the path out of the woods down flew
Willy Bluejay and picked off feather
from her hat.
Seeing his daring, Tommie Sparrow
grew bold and down he swooped and
took the hat right off Miss Kittens
head.
"Pick out her eyes! Pick out her
eyes!" cried all the other birds, flying
around her, until Miss Kitten was so
scared she ran.
But the birds followed, screaming
and Tapping their wings, and at last
Miss Kitten had to take refuge under
some old boards and stay there until
dark.
Then out she crept, all her vanity
gone, and never again did she bother
the birds or have the least wish to
trim her Sunday hat with feathers.

The fathers Of the present genera

want my boy to have a better chance
than had" was the ruling passion of
their mature years. They accomplished
wonderful things, not always wisely,
not always with the result in the boys
life they hoped; still, they did won
ders. And then the whole basis Of
their planning was swept away in four
years Of tragedy that upset every in
dicated future in the whole world.
Now we are the ancestors. We have
to see that something comes out of
the work at Washington, or else every
thing we do for the future Of our sons
and daughters will be at the mercy of
the force that wrecked our generation.
That is the answer to the "ifs" and

Farmers are finding picric acid use
full in clearing their lands of stumps
and it's use is recommended by the
Department Of Agriculture Of the
United States. At the close of the
war there was a large quantity OF
picric acid in the possession of the
government. This surplus war mate
rial is stored at Sparta, Wis, and
Fort Wingate, N. NJ, and farmers who
want to use it for blowing up stumps
can have what they need at no great
er expense than the cost of drying,
packing and freight charges. Groups
of farmers have already secured ship
ments of carload lots and it is hoped
to establish cooperating agencies for
it's distribution all over the Union.

ODD EFFECT OF TIE war !

-
= Those Of us who have not travelled
abroad and have imagined the Alps
with the chamois leaping from crag to
crag as pictured in song and story
must make haste to visit Switzerland
II we hope to ever see this sight. For
word comes that this graceful little
animal is in danger Of becoming ex-
ttnct and that there has been started
4 movement for it's protection: Be-
sides all the other sins of devastation
TOR which the war is responsible is
now added that Of hunting down the
chamols with such ruthlessness as to
threaten Its extinction, for as a re-
suit Of an investigation in the Gren-
oble district it is stated that the rifles
brought back from the war by soldiers
are the cause of the shooting of the
chamois in such numbers, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Before the war,
the report says, but few mountaineers
took out hunting licenses, most of
them being too poor to own a gun,
but that thousands of veterans re-
turning to their mountain homes took
with them not only their rifles, but
supplies of ammunition and are now
shooting the chamois in an effort to
combat the high cost of living.
