Honest, mamma, can I do everything I want to?" cried Sarah. Mamma nodded her head. For a moment Sarah was too aston . J shed to move. Visions of Ice-cream sodas, ' candy galore and glorious es capades danced before her mind's eye. '.Then she sped out of door, anxious to lose not a moment of this day of riotous pleasure. Outside she met her chum, Frances, to whom she imparted the wonderful news. Frances was . scornfully , doubtful until Sarah of fered .to show substantial proof by going to her "bank" and therefrom extracting a board of exactly 28 cents. "All for candy and sodas t" screamed , standing that no matter what acci dent might befall be would not be beld to blame.

Down the strebt he flew, while behind tolled Ike, in fierce pursuit Then, with a sudden swerve, the goat turned a come. Over went the wagon and out pitched Sarah, head foremost. Sne was somewhat wiser when she roae to her feet and felt the bump fast swelling upon her head. But, al though a little sobered, she didn't mean to let this little accident spoil her day. Over she went to where lived a couple of rough little boys with whom she had been forbidden to play. They were going out to the park, they told her, and didn't she want to go along? Sarah wasn't long in deciding whether or not she wished to go. Of course, she would, and she didn't need to ask mamma,, either! She didn't even pause for lunch. Baby's Playroom X THAT a funny place to put yy BabyP every one would ex T ' claim, as , they entered toe nursery. ' , ; , Truly, ft did seem a queer place, for It was nothing more than a great big box. Tet Baby seemed perfectly happy. In deed, It was Baby's wish that he U al lowed to stay in the box. Tou see, during the summer Baby longed to be out of doors all the" time. But mother was . so afraid ho would wander and get lost that she thought of some plan whereby he could bo out mong the trees and still bo safe. That ., la bow Baby came to have tbs huge box for a playhouse. Very comfy ho found It, too, - Out la the orchard It was placed, and Baby was carefully lifted Into it, Dolly, liked to U TJ UKRAH! hurrah! Long live tho king!" the people gaily cry I I Don Guzman, ruler of Castile, is really passing by; Outdoors they flock ; men, women, dogs and children, all outpour, To gaze upon the splendor of their royal visitor; While slowly and with dignity moves, toward the old town hall, The cortege of his majesty, flanked by outriders talL Before this unpresuming pile the carriage comes to rest; Arrives the mayor speedily to read his welcome best ; With lowest bow and phrase polite, he makes his gallant speech Such grand effects masters of language strive in vain to reach; And smilingly the king responds, and kindly does he nod; In manner pleased he beams on all and waves his golden rod. Meantime, enthusiasm great is filling each man's breast; The good men quick detach the mules, to show unto their guest How they esteem and honprhim, for they themselves would pull His chariot upon its way, with cheers. resounding full; So when the journey's recommenced they draw upon the traces, Resolved to prove they know a thing or two about fine paces. Yet they forget the chariot emblazoned has much weight. And as they dash along the street,- grieves me to relate, . They cannot turn where they SHOULD turn y the carriage down a bank Does run into the river, where the water's cool and dank ; Rises the king; "The custom is to drink to hosts, says he.

And she broke her nose, so that she was very mucn ashamed of heraelf until it was mended. Then little dog Toby was another playmate. Only he had such funny ideas! When ho was inside the box he always wanted to get outside. He would lump down to tho ground, even thougn It wi a mighty big Jump for a little dog. And then he would bark and bark to get back again. But as Baby couldn't possibly climb out to get him, there he'd have to stay. Servo him right, tool When summer was over, somehow Baby didn't like to be parted from his box. Therefore It. was set up in the nursery, although there was no occasion fbr Its use now. Surely' Baby couldn't get lost there! I suppose, however, that Baby likes to play that It's still summer; or. maybe, he thinks he'll hasten next summer by staying in bis box playroom. rSsv 1 1 !4 From Sailor Boy to Cannibal Chief J A Queer ?tcMog 7 - ? y.. a. . jaaeT :i. 7 fit - "w MM, "1MPAUTED THE NEWS TO FRANCES" r Sarah triumphantly.

When this extravagant purchase was completed Sarah came forth, with, a "sucker" bulging in each cheek and with the determina tion to conquer new worlds. Opportunity was not long In com ing. Near by stood Ike Jones' "police patrol." to which was attached Ms vicious billy-goat, Joe. Now, Sarah had been cautioned never to Indeed, with a good supply of taffies still remaining, what did any girl want with other food? Sarah went out to the park, but she didn't return in a hurry. The bad boys left her early in the afternoon, and she had to find her way back home alone. Twilight had come by the time she trudged up the steps leading to home. She had been cry ing part of the way, and It was a dirty, unhappy, fear-stained little face that was raised to mamma a few moments later.

Melting Lead on a Card Turn up the sides of an ordinary card so as to make a tray and place a piece of lead in the center. On holding this over a lamp the lead will melt before the card catches fi re. . IN vain the British sloop "Nancy" struggled against th tempest. The waves at last engulfed her, and her sailors, departing from her, struggled desperately with the angry sea. But the small boats could no more hope to weather the storm than could the sloop. Within a few moments these, too, were capsized, and the men were pitched into :fce water. All of them perished, with the exception of a sailor boj, named Bob. Bob clung to a mass of wreckage until the morning came and the storm was dissipated. When it was light enough to look about him he discov ered, to his great surprise, that Frisky, a little dog which was the pet of the sailors,' shared his refuge. Furthermore, ; he espied a box near him. Opening this, he found a good supply of bars of chocolate. ' DISQTJISED AS A NATIVE "I shan't starve for a little time, at least," said ha However, one can't dve very luxuri ously upon chocolate, so Bob was glad, , indeed, when his raft floated Into a cove where the water was quiet, and he was Anally able .0 clamber out upon a shelving beach. Frisky followed close behind, as Bob, with tho box of chocolate under his arm, started on a tour of exploration. All at once he saw something which caused him to dodge hastily behind a palm nearby. "Savages!" he muttered. "Instead of obtaining food, as I thought I would, I'm more likely to be used as food my self, especially as I heard the bos'n say that cannibals live on the islands here abouts. Wonder what 1 can da!" At last he hit upon a plan. Taking some or the chocolate, which, under the hot rays of a tropical sun, was In a melting condition, he smeared it over his face. After he had carefully rubbed for a while, you would have thought he was a native himself. He also stuck upon his head a few palm leaves. In place of a feather headdress.. Then he dressed Frisky in his coat and put the Bailor cap upon the dog's head. Stepping from behind the palm tree. Bob now led Frisky boldly toward the cannibal chief. "Sisklyoodlejtmfoo!" said Bob, grave ly saluting the chief. "Kyoodlejumdoodle!" cordially re sponded the cannibal. Thereupon Bob put Frisky through a number of clever " tricks, learned on shipboard. 3 he chief, amazed at these ACCOSTS THE CHIEF astonishing feats, bowed respectfully to Bob and led him to the rest of the tribe. Bob. taking Frisky In his arms, bowed with dignity to each member of the band. But Frisky, who had smelled the choc olate, could not refrain from suddenly licking Bob's face. To the great sur prise of the natives, the beautiful bronze complexion of their visitor disappeared, and it became white. " "Tis a god! 'Tis a god!" they cried, prostrating themselves before the lad. And the chief immediately renounced leadership of the tribe, insisting that this wonderful god honor the tribe by governing it Bob accepted this honor, and reigned until a Brltiab vessel anchored nearby, a few years iater. .hen, to the grief of the members of the tribe, he de serted them, announcing his intention r of presenting the 'Island to the king of England. ' Tis a risky sort of honor this be ing chief of a crowd of cannibals," he confided to the captain of the vessel, "and I didn't know how soon they might take it into their heads to see exactly how a' god would tasto when made into a nice stew." v Camphor on Water FILL a small basin with hot water, and throw upon Its surface a few fragments of camphor. They will instantly acquire a rotary and progressive motion, which will con- ' tlnue for some minutes. Before the motion ceases' drop on to the surface a little oil of turpentine. The floating particles will quickly dart away as if by thaglc, and will become almost stationary. From a very thin sheet of tin, cut out and shape a little boat The mast may be made from a splinter from a wooden match. From the' stem of the boat a trian gular piece must be cut so that a fragment of camphor can be placed on the two ends, Allowing contact ot the camphor with the water. This will be sufficient to give power to operate the boat Simple Magic PLACE a coin between your teeth. Then have some one tie your hands behind you.

Ha was very young when he was caught, trying to steal a fat hen, and he was a pretty little fellow, too. So the man decided to spare the animal's life and to tame him, if possible. - The fox responded to this kindness, and in gratitude to his new mas ter installed himself as watchdog. As he is so much more keen and quick wittcd than a mere dog, he serves as a very good watchman, indeed. You see what a cozy kennel he has. Wouldn't you like to have him for a pet! v 5Vwr VZjkxx7Zk$s' '7&rr7' 5rZ-.'
