Two dogs appeared on the other side
of the street. Carl, wanting to display
his bravery, began to whistle, and one
of the dogs came bouncing over. Carl
became frightened and ran to his
grandmother for protection, who told
him that he bad whistled for the dog
and now he shouldn't be afraid. "But,
grandmother. I didn't whistle for thla
dog. I wanted the other one," be said.
Two Reasons for Planting Trees.
Plant trees in farm gullies to gain
the double advantage of stopping
erosion and of providing valuable tim
ber. In some parts of the country the
locust tree, which furnishes one of
the most durable woods for fence
posts, is an excellent tree to plant for
both purposes. In other regions the
native short-leaf pine is recommended.
Both grow rapidly, and In a few years
either will form a complete protective
cover for the gully, besides being val
uable for its wood. Youth's Compan

Pampered Person Never Strong.
A pampcA.d person Is usually soft
bodied and good for nothing. One au
thority derives the word from "pam
plnus" (Latin) and the French "pam
pre," a vine-tendril. A vineyard over
grown with leaves and fruitless
branches Is said to be pampre. In
"Paradise Lost" Milton speaks of pam
pered boughs, which needed hands
to check fruitless embraces. The Ital
ians have a phrase "pamberato," but
this means well-fed and is derived
from pane, bread, and bere, drink.
