 BE CAREFUL OF POISONS


 Did you hear about the Jones child?" Mrs. Mann asked excitedly of her husband when he returned from work ''The poor little thing got into the medicine closet some way or other and all but poisoned herself to death,"
 Many such accidents occur in many places daily and should be a sermon to parents.
 If you have poisons In your medi- cine chest hang it up so high that there is no danger of the children getting into it. But, better still. keep your poisons separate from your medicines. Or have the cabinet separated

MT. Gooly had tied Raggedy Andy to the kitchen table and was sitting in a comfortable rocking chair. Now you must hurry and get my dinner." Mir. Gooly shouted to Rag gedy Andy.
 T do not know how to cook" Raggedy Andy replied.
 That doesn't make even a speck of difference!" MT. Gooly cried. You will have to learn, that's what. So hurry! I'm getting hun grier and hungrier every minute."
 So, while Mr. Gooly read a book, Raggedy Andy rattlcd the dishes and set the table, but really, he did not know what to cook for MT. Gooly's dinner.

The missionary must remember his duty to the white man. as well as to the black man, He should strive constantly for jus tice and fair treatment for the na- tives of Africa, and he should no less make in his constant endeavor to be of use and of service to the settler. You can of course, do most in this way through your schools; but ! you can do much-and l am glad to say that you have done much through medical work: and I hope also that, whenever the opportunity occurs,you will encourage the build ing of some little church or meeting house where the settlers. and es- pccially their womenfolk--can at least occasionally go 10 hear divine service.

On the way we passed two silver iackals which watched our passing I train with the utmost indifference from distance of less than 20 yards from the track. We also passed several large herds of zebra and a fow ostriches. Just before we reached Nairasha, we saw mangy- looking lion feeding upon a zebra. he had just, killed less than 50 yards from the track: Mcarns and Loring were on the platform at Mai vasha, awaiting our return and all the porters had lined up, with the native askaris (poIice- mem in front as a kini of guard of honor. As Colonel Roosevelt de- scendcd from the train, the askaris presented arms and the porters cheered Justify.
 "Jambo Bwana Mkubwa! Hali gangi, kingi va Amerik"'" (Hail, i Great Chief! How are you, King of Americs?") came the deep-throated chorus.
 It had been at first arranged that Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit should occupy their tents in the encamp- ment of the expedition. but as he found that Mearns and Loring had moved up to the Rift Valley hotel owing to all of the tents being filled with bird specimens and small mann mals. they eventually decided to stay at the hotel also.
 The morning after our arrival was very wet and there was a continual downpour of rain. I spent the morning acting as secretary to Colonel Roosevelt, firstof all writing answers to his very large and curi- ous mail. and then in taking down his articles on the typewriter. It was an interesting morning, and the letters Colonel Roosevelt received were very quaint. He had letters from all over the world asking him to be kind enough to capture and send hack various animals 10 the writers of the letters.
 The letters ranged from mice 10 baby elephants, and suggestion that baby rhino would be welcomed was quite common.
 One man. from Kansas, wrote to protest against Colonel Roosevelt's shooting lion son Sunday.
 What shall I answer him, Foran?" asked Roosevelt. with a hearty laugh.
 That despite all your earnest en- deavors. Colonel" I suggested, ''the lions have not yet hern persuaded ito join the Sunday Closing League

.Rooscvclt's Return to Naivasha

.Rooscvclt'S Return to Naivasha
 On the morning Of "Wednesday, August 4, Colonel Roosevelt, Kcr- init, Dawson, and myself left Nairobi for Naivasha.
 We travelled by special train, leav- ing at 9 o'clock in the morning Sand were 10 stop en route at Kiiabe, American Mission. Colonel Roose- welt had promised to lay the foun- dation stone of the new European childrcn's school at the Mission.
 There was a tremendous crowd at the Nairobi railroad depot to see Colonel Roosevelt leave. On the platform a number of the leading officials and settlers pressed around Roosevelt and thanked him very sincerely for what he had said in his speech at the banquet on the previous evening.
 Tt will make most enormous difference to the country's future" remarked Lord Delamere to Roose- welt. Even the most optimistic had not dared to hope for such a splendid vindication of the possibili- ties of this tropical country from your lips"
 How highly his speech was nrized can be proved by the fact that the East African Solonists' Association and the Nairobi Chamber of Com. merce resolved. by an overwhelming majority, to print and distribute tc members of the House Of Common, and the House of Lords some 2,OO( 1 copies of the speech. This is sure. ly a true indication of the trend ot local popular opinion in regard tc the subject matter of Colonel Roose. velt'sspeech.
 On the way up to Kijabe. tho Roosevelts occupied their usual sea, in front of the engine, while Daw. son and I occasionally rode besid, them. The day was dull and threat. ening, but luckily the rain held off However, the fact that the sun wa. shrowded by heavy clouds made th, train journey delightfully."- cool.
 The Rev. Mir. Hulburt met Roose. welt on our arrival at Kiiabe, and conducted him up the road from tbs railroad depot, through forest-clad ] hills. to the site Of the new Mission school. A large number of Ameri. can missionaries, their wives and children were already gathered around the site. The new buildius was to be constructed out of red bricks which were made at the Mis-. sion.
 The foundation stane, which Colo. nel Roosevelt was to lay in position was q handsome slap Of white. dressed stone. It was suspended above the foundation by a tempor. ary derrick. No time was wasted over the ceremony, as ColoneI

receipt of which I had concealed from my husband.
 But the thought that Major Grantland had written me a letter was most disturbing.
 As well as if he had told me so, l knew that Hugh Grantland had made a solemn compact with him self never to disturb my peace Of mind or to arouse my husbands suspicious displeasure by writing pact, for Dicky has been extreme iy disagreeable about the postcards which ever since the exciting war time experience that I shared with the army officer, have come from him.
 Alone Al Last
 True, there never has been either salutation or signature upon the cards, simply Major Grantland's ad- dress and his initials, but Dicky knows they have been sent to mo, because the officer wishes me all ways to be cognizant of his where- abouts that in any terrible emer- | genCy l might summon him, and Dicky's reaction to the knowledge has been distinctly unpleasant
 Even the inestimable service which Hugh Grantland rendered us in rescuing our baby boy after he had been kidnapped by Grace Dra- per, has not cured Dicky of refer ring to the officer contemptuously as Faithful F'ido," although sheer shame as his own ingratitude keeps him from any further expression of dislike for Major Grantland, or from any open objection to my receipt of the postal cards.
 A letter. however, was another thing, and I had but one overween- ing desire. to gain the shelter of my own room, and find out what the unexpected missive meant. Ac- cordingly, I hurried Junior along to his grandmother's room, left him there, and then few like something pursued along the corridor to my room, locking the door after me.
 But with the envelope torn open, and the folded letter in my hand, felt an odd reluctance to unfold it's pages and read what my friend had written. The feeling was like a foreboding. Vividly I recalled the tall 1.-the figure of the officer, and the features that could so quickly change from sterness to tenderness
 "Whenever you need me you have only to send" he had said solemn ly when he had bidden me good bye after putting Junior in my arms. after the most awful eXper- fence of my life. I had not seen Major Grantland since that time, but his postcards had come at ir- regular intervals ever since his duties called him from place to place.
 With a surprised little gasp re- alized that I had not received one 1 for nearly four months, the long est interval which ever had elasped without one.
 I realized something else also, that l had not missed them, and it was with a curious mixture of self approval and elf-condcmnation for my indifference that I unfoldod the pages and with startled eyes read salutation that I could not be- lieve had come from the pen of Hugh Grantlaud, dignified ana con- trolled far beyond ordinary men.

 "All right, I'll send him bill If you're sure it's cheese" said the accountant to the old storekeeper.
 The accountant sent the man a bill for the cheese. The supposed debter wrote back very indignantly saying he was hardware deakr, and never bought a cheese in his life. The old man scratched his head. He seemed to be all at sea; then his eyes frightened. He drew the paper toward him and put lit tie inside the big 0. Handing it back to the accountant he said, as though everything was now eX- plained:

The Shock Madge Received When She Opened Hugh Grant
 lands Letter

Why, so gum. old dear? You look as If Medusa's head had just been sent you by parcel post Are you afraid to read your letters, or are you too bored?'
 Dlcky looked at me quiz2ically, and I forced myself to meet his gaze squarely. thankful that there was no trace of suspicion in his eyes, yet absurdly conscience stricken because of the letter in Hugh Grantland's familiar chiro- rraphy which l had pushed hastily beneath the pile of advertisements that made up the bulk of my mail.
 They are not important" l said carelessy, rising. Shall I take mothers letter to her? I'm going in the house anyway for a few minutes"
 Thanks" he returned lazily. You always were a sunny little life saver. But don't you realize that you are cruelty usurping a pleClOuS pSluSdNNC

 "Is there letter for Danzie?" he demanded.

 Junior Helps His Mother
 I always have believed that the language a child hears most fre- ouently in the formative years is that which he will use when he is grown, and if this bs true, our boy should be an accomplished slanguist long before he reaches his majority.
 Den me wants to take it to Danzie, mine own self" he asserted emphatically, and Dicky held out the letter to him with a grin at me.
 Your occupation's gone" he quoted. "so you might as well stay out here and talk to me-"
 "I'll be back in a few minutes" I hastily promised, "but I really have to see some things in the house. Come, Junior-' I held out my hand to my small son, take mother into the house."
 The request is one the child loves, for he invests the granting of it with much ceremony tightly holding to my hand, and pointing out all the places where I might stumble. That Junior firmly be- lieves should break my neck were he not beside me to protect me, k indelibly printed upon his face, ant I do not know which one of us en- joys the short journey the more.
 But today there was no enjoy. ment for me in the clasp of my boys hand and the sound of his prattling voice. It was from hi: hand that the letter of which I wa! so uneasily conscious had come and the thought was a torturine one, although my common sens' told me that I was absurdly quixo tic, was indeed verging on the ri diculous, in laying so much stres!

Raggedy Andy and l want you to Andy had an idea and he rattled the dishes and hummed a song to him self, but quite loud, so in order to think of what he was reading, Mir. Gooly finally had to read out loud, and the louder he read, the more noise Raggedy Andy made. until Mir. Gooly was bowling the story, very, very loud.
 This was just. what Raggedy Andy was waiting for, so he took his knife and shipped the rope which held him to the table and in three jumps he was out of the house. MT. GooIy, when he didn't hear Raggedy Andy making lot of noise, stopped read ing out loud ana asked, 'Is dinner ready, Raggedy Andy?" And when Raggedy Andy did not answer, MT. Gooly picked up his cane and said, If you do not answer when l count three, I shall give you a hard thump."
 Then, when he counted three and Raggedy Andy did mot reply, Mir. Gooly turned and hit towards where RaEgedy Andy had been tied. But, as Raggedy Andy was not there, MT Gooy's cane hit the table leg and bounced back and cracked him right on the shin.
 Wow! Oh. Wow" Mr. Gooly howled as he hoped about. Just wait until catch Raggedy Andy, I'll make him feel sorry that he fooled me and escaped" Then, because he was so very hungry, Mir. Gooly had to run over 10 Mr. Sanky's house to try and get dinner, and because the Sankys had nothing to cat either, Mr. GooIy and MT. and Mrs. Sanky all sat down and told each other what they would do 10 the Raggedys when they caught them.

 Poor, poor mother. She is one of those women who Is more of a wife than a mother. Although she loves US devotedly, I do not think there was ever a time in her life she would not have sacrificed both Alice and me for day any day.
 They've been particularly happy couple. Sometimes, though, I think 1 will ask mother if when they were first married it did not take them little while 10 adjust themselves l remember her saying one time that people either grow together or grow apart. They have grown together. and now, if anything happens to dad her whole life will be wrecked and broken. I dare not think what will become of her.
 Well, Ruth dear, this is terrible letter to write to any one, let alone a dearest friend. ] hope you got out all right with my mother-in- law. It just seems to me as though John and I were having enough misunderstanding and trougles without her making it worse all the time, And as for that old maid, thought I had got rid Of her, and now here she bobs up again. I'll just have to settle with her in the Lear future once for ala. She al most makes me feel a Borgia when 1 think Of her.
 AS soon as you get everything set tied at the apartment, you would better send me a long night letter collect, for I am very anxious 10 know exactly what has happened. If she has found the secret drawer in my desk, I will never forgive her.
