splash.
And then what do you think
happened? Out Of the water
came an animal. He had the
most beautiful brown silken fur
which shone like bronze as the
water dripped off OF It.
The little fat fellow didn't seem
to mind me at all, but walked
right by me. AS he passed,
saw he had a great, glitter!ng
wiggling fish in his mouth.

"of all things"' said I, in

Just then my friend came out
Of the house, stopped and patted
the otter, which 1 soon realized
was pet, and walked over
to me.
"A very useful little fellow"
said I.
Indeed ne is" said my friend.
when was soldering in India I
found out that the natives trained
offers to catch fish for them. So
when / returned to my ranch /
thought would try training a
Canadian otter. You see the sue
cess I have had"
"Too bad they don't do that all
over the world" 1 nurmured, "in-
stead of trying to destroy the
offers"

shaking his head until his ears

WELL-KEPT
BATHROOM
BY Hannah Wing
An Acknowledged Expert In All
Matters Appertaining to House
hold Management.

IN URING the summer the
bath room Il bound to need
extra care. Then, II. ever,
will hasty bathers grow careless
Of splashes, water rings ana soap
marks. Shiny porcelain is the
h0usekeeper's delight, but Il can
be kept shining only BY careful
methods.
Whether 1t Is in the wash tub
or in the kitchen sink or refrig-
orator. porcelain needs to be
washed with soapsuds. rinsed and
dried.
Even water leaves it's mark
soapy water leaves a dark line,
and water, in which there Is q
trace Of iron from the pipes,
slowly discolots the porcelain. For
this reason constant cleaning Ia
best. A dripping faucet should
be promptly repaired or the por.
celain beneath the drip may be.
come permanently stained.
Lemon Juice or vinegar may re-
move these, or any one Of several
mild cleaning fluids may be used.
TOO strong an acid solution should
not be used as It will eventually
eat into ana destroy that fine
outer coat Of the porcelain which
has the hard surfacS with the
high, shining finish. For this
reason IL oxalic acid IL used for
an obstinate stain 1t should be
very dilute and che porcelain
should be we'll washed with soapy
water Immediately after.
One of the best methods OF re-
moving the dark. dingy line from
tubs and wash bowls is to use a
wad Of soft paper naoistened with
kerosene, gasoline or household
ammonia. Either Of these agents
will cause the dirt to vanish az If
by magic. None Of the hareher
securing powders should ever be
used with porcelain. Ali Of these
contain more or less gritty abra-
sives which produce tiny fine
scratches in the surface. These
cannot be removed, ana act as a
constant absorbent for dirt, CIV
ing the tub q grimy appear
anoe.
the sane treatment 40 that
discussed for porcelain may be
used for the tiles and the walls
and floor. All handles In the
bath room should be kept espe.
clally clean.

GET INTO THE

~ ct your small boy into the
ball game. Go out upon
~ the back lot and start him.
Otherwise, he may never person.
ally know the inside meaning Of
our greatest national sport. Do
you know what il probably the
matter, the reason why this
young chap does not mix in with
the players. He is afraid. The
fear Of being "guyed" and laughed
at by his mates 10 y powerful re.
pressive influence during the
early years. Some never recover
from its pressure.
The first steps in batting the
ball with the young team Of
crack players will affect your
timid boy practically In the same
manner as his first plunge into
the swimming pool. It will be
shock. Indeed, he may never
make the start in either Of these
sports unless some one gives per-
sonal aid and encouragement.
Character gets it's form and
shaping as directed by the COM
polling force Of impulse and in.
stinct, but careful ana intimate
guidance brings out the final
structure. II your small boy IL
too timid to get into the ball
game with those oud-mouthed.
back alley performers, then you
had better give him some pre-
liminary lessons in private.
You will find that he is prob.
ably awkward and conscious of
his inability to play acceptably
to the members of the gang. Or
at least, he imagines 1t SO, and
that makes the matter a reality
to him.
Step out to the rear with your
little son and put him through
the r1aneuvers Of the game as
best you can, till the practice in
spires him to seAY.confidence.
Many possible good, traits Of
character, many potential acts Of
successful performance may re-
main buried under fear and tim.
idity, which so frequently get in
the way Of early beginnings. Not
merely the various standard forms
Of play, but the rudiments Of in.
dustry, may never have proper ex-
preston or experience in the
early career OF your boy. You
may commit the grievous fault Of
regarding him az a natural dull.
