Pool, and he kept straight on down
the Laughing Brook.
When he came out from the alders
at the head of the Smiling Pool where
the Laughing Brook enters it, and
got his first full view of the Smiling
Pool, he received shock. " threw
him into a violent rage. Already
there were two fishermen there. One
was familiar to Billy Mink. 1t was
Farmer Browns Boy. The other was
stranger to Billy. 1t was Sammy,
a city colsin of Farmer Browns Boy.
They had arrived only few minutes
before and had just begun to fish.
Rattles the Kingfisher, who is
fisherman, too, but was not fishing
just then, spied Billy Mink. He is
none too friendly to Billy. for Billy
has more than once spoiled the fishing
for Rattles, so frightening the FISH
that Rattles has been obliged to go
down to the Big River to do his fish
ing. This morning he had caught all
he wanted before the other fishermen
arrived. Rattles flew low over Billy,
and in his harsh, rattling voice he
jeered Billy.
Go bac... in the Green Forest, where
you belong, Billy Mink. There1l be
no fish for you here today. You ought
to get up earlier. I've got my fish,
but you won't get any," he jeered.

long enough to snarl at Rattles, then

industry for manufacturing rubber,
taking all the machinery he needed
with him from Boston. A small fac
tory in keeping with the business was
built and was the beginning Of the
great one that is there today. Rubber
is ore of the most important indus
tries of the United State at the present
time. which leads all the world in
rubber manufacture.
Rubber is a milky juice of two types
of trees native to Brazil. At first all
the crude rubber came from that
country. However, American and
English manufacturers early saw the
unlimited demand for this substance
that could be used in thousands Of
ways, so they set out plantations in
Ceylon, India, Borneo, the Malay
States, Mexico, Peru and Liberia.
Many people have been under the
impression that rubber flowed from
the trees something like the sap of
the maple sugar trees. But the juice
of the rubber trees flows through sur
face cells located under the bark 1t
nourishes the tree through the surface
trees through the tropical belt that
girdles the world. These produce the
valuable milky juice.

Natures Children
Rubber (Ficus elastica.

The Para rubber, which is consid-
cred superior, comes from the valley of
the Amazon. 7he places where the
rubber trees may be grown success
fully and the method of growing the
trees differ with the locality.
The trees are grown from seed. The
Para seed is mottled brown and
looks like large chestnut. 1t is
developed in a large pod. When ripe
the pod opens and the brown seed
falls to the earth. The young trees
are planted in rows about 200 trees to
the acre.
The juice is obtained by tapping in
the early morning. The natives know
which trees to tap and it must be done
with care. A very thin shaving of
bark is taken of in a diagonal line,
permitting the latex to run into porce-
lain cups at the lower end of the cut.
The juice is poured into large con-
ta.ners and the tree gets busy to heal
its wound.
The juice is reduced to a thickness
that permits its being made into bis
cults weighing so pounds, which are
shipped to the markets awaiting
them. The refining is another ro-
mantle story.

Farmer Browns Boy

RHLY MINK had come down the
Laughing Brook from deep in the
Green Forest. He was tired of fish,
ing up there. He wanted a change.
Billy Mink is one of those people to
whom a change Of scene now and then
is necessary. Anyway, Billy thinks it
is necessary.
"It is a long time since I have
visited the Smiling Pool. and if that
big cousin of mine, Little Joe Otter,
hasn't been there, the fishing ought
to be good"
So said Billy Mink to himself as
he made his way down the Laugh
ing Brook, now running along the
bank, now jumping from stone to
stone, now swimming across a pool.
He didn't stop to fish In any Of the
pools he passed or swan across. He
was in too much of q hurry. You
see, the trout were likely to be bigger
In the Smiling Pool.

as usual" thought Billy. "It is a good
thing that that fellow isn't fisher

a good thing for him. If he interfered
with my fishing certainly would have
to attend to him, and that would be
just too bad for him"

10000 Guests.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 29-The
years were rolled back at the Naval
Academy tonight, as the midshipmen
presented a colorful re-enactment of
the visit of Commodore Matthew c.
Perry, U. S. N. to Japan in 1853,
celebrating 83 years OF peace and
friendship between the United States
and the "f1oUery kingdom
Among the more than 10000 spec
tators was Hirosi Saito, japanese AM
bassador to the United States. who
was the guest OF honor Prior to the
re-enactment he dined with Rear Ad-
miral David Foote Sellers, superin-
tendent of the academy, at table set
on the academy tennis courts. These
had been turned into the streets of
Uraga,' the japanese town where
Perry landed.
The Severn River and Dewey Basin

the destroyers Manley and Decatur
and the gunboat Erie. now at the

which made up Perry's squadron,

Perry was received by his highness,

Shoulder lamb chops. 1886. 125

Clothing Prices Leveled OF.
The price of lamb also figures in
the price Of clothing, especially wooden
clothing. To the naked eye there is
little discernable increase in the cost
OF clothing Indeed, Sears, R0ebuck
ventilated shoes for men are down a

chiffon dress for Sl095 in 1886 and
she can do the same this year. A
woman who bought a cotton flower
print with tucked yoke and sleeves
for s5.95 year ago can repeat TODAY.
But the price tag is misleading.
A manufacturer who finds that
dotted chiffon in the s1095 price
range is good business will continue
to turn them out for that price,
but the product will not be the same
AS the price Of materials goes up. the
dress loses something.

and furnishings. Sports slacks. straw
hats. Summer coats. Palm Beach suits,
swimming clothes can all be bought in

The one difference is in the price
of the tropical worstedS of an F street
store. In 1895 the suit was s35. To-
day 1t is s25. Why is not explained,
