Tlio Clu-npcst Camp.
There lives hardly n hoy who docs
not hanker to build n camp not neces
sarily In the woods, thotiKh that is fine,
but somewhere out of doors, where ho
can "keep house" when occasion per
iiiits. in the case of ninny, however.
thcro Is difficulty both in the mutter
of knowledge as to how to build
camp, nnd uiso dlillculty In nrrniif:
lnir for the expense that would be In
curred In the building of most of the
boys' camps that nre described.
It mny sound like a fairy tale when
I state Hint tlio enmp I nut going to

wait n moment. It Is the red, resin
sized, heavy paper that comes In rolls
as shown in Fig. 1. CnrpcnterB use

and the writer has used it to cover
Just such a little building as Is here
with described, so he knows that it Is

cured In nincc lv careful lmndllncr
When In place, It seems to grow tough
er and Btronger by exposuro to tho
weather.
Begin the making of tho camp by
driving stakes Into the ground In the
way suggested In Fig. II., allowing tho
two Inner stakes at each end to extend
high enough to reach and be nailed to
the "rafters," when these aro put In
place, as shown In Fig. III. Thoso
stakes may be common round poles
with the bark left on, provided they
aro reasonably straight and smooth, or
two-by-three-lnch stuff may bo used,
as shown In Fig. III. This cut ilso
shows how tho roof Is put on. The
side stakes are sawed off at an equal
height, and a narrow strip of Inch
board Is nailed along the tops. Strips
of board also make good "rafters," and
these should bo put on so ns to bring
a rafter under each edge of the paper,
and ono under the middle of each strip
of pnper, allowing the paper to lap at
tho edges two or three Inches for safe
ty.
Each strip of paper can extend from
tho ground on ono side up over the
roof and down to tho ground on tho
other side, thus giving no chnnco for
tho water to get In. But put ou tho
end coverings before tho roof, bo that
tho upper edges of tho end strips may
lap over onto tho roof, and bo covered
by tho roof paper when this Is put In
placo. This will make a tight joint
Over all edges of paper nail common
laths, as shown In Fig. IV., which rep
resents tho camp llnlshed. Instead
of wludows, make n doorway In each
end In the way suggested In tho cuts
showing framing. Fit a light frame of
narrow strips of bonrd to each door
way and covor them with nanor.
'Strap" hinges can be put on tho out-
Bldo as shown, and wire hooks. Laths
can bo put around tho edges of the
doorway nnd around the edges of tho
doors. Seloct a dry, well-drained spot
for tho camp,' and build according to
instructions. Make tho house of auv
slzo desired, but don't try too largo
a house at first. Mako It of tho rlcht
length and width to bo covered by tho
paper, without cutting tho latter.
Canvas mny also bo used in placo of
tho paper, but this Is moro expensive.

Then tho leader asks the next player
to take tho Christian mime, "Matthew,"
which has Just been given, and couple
with It a different surname to make
tho namo of another celebrity.
"Matthew Arnold" Is suggested, nnd
this player also scores a point.
To tho third player n now surname
is given. In brief, tho old-numbered
players have surnames to which to add
Christian names, and each even-numbered
player takes tho Christian namo
given by his predecessor, and fits it
with n new surname. For each success
a point Is scored.
But some persons "have a bad mem
ory for names," ns the saying la, and
In this kind of n game fall far behind.
In fairness to them, the lender, after
each namd has been completed, calls
the roll for Interesting facts about the
celebrity, and tho player who supplies
a fact scores a point.
The principal of n public school de
vised the game of "Celebrities" after
hearing one of his teachers speak of
"Juuics G. Whlttler," and another
dilate upon the oratory of "Darius
Webster." Ho has taught tho gamo to
scholars who nre not well-informed, as
well ns to the teachers who were some
times careless, and has found that it
Interested nil and did them good.
"Knowledge that Is not accurate is
not very useful," the principal says.
But his game does more than promote
accuracy; It Introduces plnyers to meu

"less than a name," leads to the study
of their lives, and thus provides the
students with neyJ. examples, Ideals and

The Miller of he Dee.
Thoro dwelt a miller, hale and bold,
Beside the Itlvcr Dee;
He wrought and sang from morn

No lark more blithe than he;.
And this the burden of bis song
Forever used to be,
"I envy no man, no, not I,
And no one envies mo I'
"Thnii'rt wrong, my friend," said old
King Hal,
"As wrong as wrong can be; -For
could my heart be light as thine,
I'd gladly change with thee.
And tell me now what makes thee sing
With voice so loud and free,
While I am sad, though I'm the King,
Beside tho Itlver Dee'"
The miller smiled and doffed his cap;
"I cam my brefcd," quote he;
"I love my wife, I love my friend,
I love my children three.
I owe no one I can not pay,
I thank the River Uee,
That turns the mill that grinds the corn
To fcea my babes and me 1
"Good friend," said Hal, and sighed the
while,
"Farewell! and happy be!
But say no more, if thou'dst be true.

Say, darling, say, when I'm far away,
Sometimes you may think of me, dear
Bright, sunny days will soon fade away.
Remember what I say to be true, dear.
I'm off to the war, to the war I mnst go,
To tight for my country and you, dear
But if I should fall, in vain I would call

White Women at Kabul.
A singular romnnce Is related in con
ncctlou with tho announcement in the
Irish newspapers of the death "at
Kabul, Afghanistan, of Emily, widow
of Henry Simpson Lincoln."
Some twelve years ago a young In
dian Mohammedan studying at tho
Royal College of Surgeons nt Dublin
resided with Mrs. Lincoln, who was
about 70 years of age, the London Dally
Mall says. When the young Indian
finished his studies Bho determined to
accompany him back to India and left
the Unitarian church for Moham
mednnlsm. In the course of time the
Indian obtained a position in Kabul as
secretary to tho amir of Afghanistan,
and there Mrs. Lincoln followed him,
braving tne formidable Journey from
Lahoro to Kabul by hor6o and palan
quin, nitliough about 80 years of age.
Arriving at Kabul, sho was bbllced
to live in tho retirement observed bv-
Mohamedan women nnd 6aw the young
inuinn no more, tnougn sho was al
lowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told of loneliness beyond e.
presslon and of her belief of. approach
ing aeaiu. Almost immediately after
ward came a telegram stating that sho
iinu passeu away.

The editorial staff of one of the pop

gathered In the publisher's offlce one
day in December, discussing plans for
the new year.
"One thing we must have," Bald the
publisher, emphatically. "We must
have a lot of stuff about water pow

"Well," said the editor, cautiously.
"of courso a timely article on the sub

"Timely article nothing" interrupted
tho publisher. "If I had my way we'd
have a long article every number. We
must have at least six in the year.
It's tho greatest subject going."
"Bill," Bald one of the staff, "who or
what set you crazy on water?"
The publisher looked at him and
laughed.
"I'll tell you what It was," he said.
"It was a long, lank Arkansas traveler
named John Fox. He came in hero
one day, bo quietly I hnrdly heard him
cuter. Said he wanted to talk about
water, and especially about rivers. I
told him to run away, as I was busy,
He sat down by my desk and began to
talk. Well he's one of those South

listening in spite of myself. He Bat
there three hours, telling me things 1

ho picked up his hat, and said he must
be going.
