In tho Heart of a Tree.
Two men with axes chopped at tho
trunk of a great basswood tree,, and
then they went at tho notch with a
long saw, one man at each end. Tho
trco stood In tho forest along tho
Montreal river In Wisconsin. Tho
men sawed away, and all of a sudden
tho saw rapped on something hard
tho tough heartwood doubtless. Tho
sawyers worked the harder, but It
was to no effect. The teeth of tho
saw were blunted, and tho men took
to the axes again.
Can you Imagine what they found
when the tree had fallen with a roar
that shook tho surrounding -woodsj
Their axes had uncovered tho edge
of another ax blade, hidden In tho Hv-
Ing treo, covered so deeply that no
mark had remained on the bark to
tell of what was within. Tho blade
must havo been In Its place for a cen

The Game of Pairs.
Great fun muy bo got out of tho
game of "pairs." Each boy chooses a
partner for himself. Tho host, who
pretends ho is a lawyer, walks up and
down the room in front of tho pairs,
asking questions of auy one ho pleases.
Tho answers to his questions must be
made not by tho one addressed, but by
his partuer. If the girl be addressed
tho boy promptly answers. For in
stance, tho lawyer says, "What is your
favorite occupation?" to the boy. Ills
partner answers, "Dressing dolls" or
Making beds." Ho may ask a girl,
'What do you like best to do?" and
tho boy by her Bide answers, "Playing
leapfrog," or somo other masculine
sport. If any ono answers out or turn
ho or sho must pay a forfeit. The
saucier the answers tho greater tho
fun.
A Real Handy Treo.
Did you ever hear of n thread and
needle tree? It is rather a hundy treo
to havo growing in the back yard, don't
you think, especially when there are
boys In the house with buttons coming
off about every other minute?
This strange tree grows In nearly all
tropical countries and In some places
nearer home where tho cflmnto is
warm. It gets Its name by which we
know It from the curious formation of
Its leaves. At the tip of the leaf there
a shurp thorn, which is the noodle.
If you griusp it llrtnly and pull It out
there you are with a needle already
threaded for your sewing. This fiber
thread is very strong, and tho Mexi
cans uso it for weaving a coarso kind
of cloth as well as for sewing.
Conundrums,
Why la a car strop llko conscience?
Because It Is on Inner check to tho
outer man.
Why Is It dangerous to sleep In a
steam car? Because the train runs
over sleepers.
What should you do If you npllt your
sides with laughter? Run until you
get a stitch tn them.
Which of tho birds would bo Bup
posed to lift tho heaviest weight? Tho
crane.
Why Is n dirty child llko flannel?
Because It shrinks from washing.

His Only Fear.
As Is well known, the late Justice
Peckham was a Democrat, while Jus
tice Harlan -was a Republican. They
wero tho best of friends. One day
they wero discussing tho fear of death.
JuBtice Peckham said to Jpstlco Har
lan:
"You aro not afraid to die, are you?"
To this, after a moment's reflection.
Justice Harlan replied: "No, not ex
actly. My only fear Is that I might
bring up at Democratic headquarters."
