JACK RABBIT GETS WELL.
Jack Rabbit continued to Improve
after Mister Fox came to visit him in
his burrow, but he was still rather
weak on the morning when he started
for the first time Blnce his illness to
visit the fox In his home on the hill.
As he started out be thought again
of the last lesson that the fox bad
taught him, and said to himself:
"This walk is not going to be half so
hard as it seems, if only I keep up my
courage."
Jack Rabbit had thought many
times of the lesson that had been so
well Bhown by the fox, when he
walked, through the spider's web, after
the beetle and the bumble bee bad
failed.
Mister Fox was watching for the
rabbit, and while he was still a long
way off saw him coming and ran down
to meet him.
"Well, well,"' said the fox, "1 am
certainly glad to see you and looking
so well, too. One would scarcely
think that you had been ill at all. I
hope that the walk has not tired you
too much."
When they got to the door of the
fox's house, he said: "Come right in
and sit down, for I know that you
must be tired, and perhaps a bite of
something to eat wilV refresh you a
little." The fox was thinking of the
meal of green vegetables which the
rabbit had set out for him, and he was
almost inclined to offer the rabbit
nothing to eat but the .neat of a fat
turkey, which had been missing for
somo days from a neighboring roost.
"But," said the fox to himself, "that
would be an unkind thing to do to
the rabbit since he has been ill, and
I suppose he forgot the other day
that foxes do not eat green vegeta
bles." So instead of the turkey hs brought
out some green pea pods, whict he
had gathered the day before, and the
rabbit thought he had never tasted
anything more delicious.
, "They are the finest I ever ate," he
said to the fox, as he finished the last
of them, "and it was exceedingly kind
of you to be so thoughtful."
They sat and gossiped the news of
the wood for an hour or so before
Jack Rabbit, rising said: "Well, I
think that It is about time 1 was go
ing, for the ,?nlL home is pretty long
one and I have to go rather slowly.
I shall have plenty of tlmo to think
over whatever bit of wisdom you have
to give me on my way home, although
I may not be so fortunate as to see
any application of the lesson."
i "I would not overdo," said the fox,
"and you bad perhaps better take two
or three days to apply the lesson I am
about to tell you. There are a great
"This Walk Is Not Going to Ba Half
So Hard as It Seems."
many men and a great many animals
who are never happy, and, ' for the
most part, they are themselves to
blame, for they have not learned the
lesson tbat contentment with what
we have is the greatest source of hap
piness." "That, then, is. the lesson I am to
apply," said the rabbit "Well, I will
see how well I can do it," and saying
good-by to the fox Jack Rabbit start
, ed for home.
All the way home he did not see a
a thing which furnished any sort of an
' application of the wisdom that the fox
had told him, but the next morning
he was awakened by the sound of
voices outside his burrow, and peek
ing out of the hole, he saw a small
boy holding in his hand a cap which
was worn and frayed, and he was
saying to himself: , "I won't wear
that old cap any longer. My father
has got to buy me a new one, and to
make sure tbat he does I am going to
throw this ine away," and, drawing
back his arm. he flung it as far as he
could toward some bushes, where It
landed in a hollow of the ground, well
covered by a thickly leaved branch of
a small tree.
"What an unhappy boy," said ihe
rabbit, "and -11 because he is discon
tented with what may be the best tbat
liis father can afford."
A few hours after Jack Rabbit
thought he would go over to where
the cap lay and take a look at It, and
just as be rot near to the cap he
thought he saw something In it move,
and going a little closer, he saw It
was a bird.
"What are you doing here?" said
Jack Rabbit as soon as he recovered
from his surprise."
"Why 1 have found the finest nest
tn all the wood," said the bird. "1 bad
hunted for days and days for bits of
string and cloth with which to build
my nest, and then this morning, rigbt
bere, under this tree, I found a nest
all built for me. Every bird tbat has
Sean it envies me and I iball have Ue
Best home for my children of an. bird
in an these parts. I cannot under
stand how anyone who owned so fine
a cap as this would ever have thrown
it away."
"It certainly is a fine nest," said the
rabbit, "and I am sure your children
will appreciate It."
And then r.s he walked away Jack
Rabbit said to himself: "How could
I have found a better application of
the wisdom that Mr. Fox told me yes
terday, when he said that content
ment with what we have Is the great
est source of happiness."
PROPELLERS FOR HAND SLED
Two Medium-Sized Buggy Wheels
Made Use Of to Transmit Power
Pointed Nails Help.
DeBlrlng to propel my hand sled
with power transmitted by cranks and
wheels, 1 set about to procure the nec
essary materials. Two medium-sized
buggy wheels were found in the back
yard of a blacksmith shop, which were
procured for a nominal price The
fellies of these wheels were removed,
the tenons cut from the spokes and
nails substituted, which were driven
in their ends so that about one-half

Mechanics. The heads were then re
moved and the nail ends sharpened.
The hubs were plugged with pieces
of wood, whittled to tlghty fit the
holes. A hole was then bored exactly
central through each plug for a one-
half inch rod. This size rod was pro
cured and bent to form a crank, the
bearing end being threaded for a dis
tance equal to the length of the hub.
Two pieces or blocks of wood two
Inches square and four Inches long
were used as bearings. These were
bored centrally through the long way,
to receive the one-half inch rod Just
loose enough to make a good bearing.
These bearings were supported by a
pair of braces made of strap iron about
one-quarter of an inch thick and three
quarters of an inch wide. The length
of the iron will depend on the size of
the wheels and the height of the sled
runner. The braces were shaped as
shown. The center of the bearing hole
must be as high from the surface of
the ground as the distance the spoke
ends are from the center of the hub
hole.
The crank Is then run through the
bearing hole and a nut run on the
threads and a washer placed against
the nut. The wheel is thon slipped
on the axle, and another washer and
nut run on tightly. Both wheels,
bearings, cranks and brackets are
made alike. The brackets are fastened
with small bolts to the sled top.
AMUSING PASTIME FOR BOYS
Any Number of Players May Engage
in Game of Duck on the Rock
How It Is Played. .
All boys and girls have played ducks
and drakes at some time or another.
The game is too well known to de
scribe here. Another variety of this
game Is called Duck on the Rock.
It Is played like this: First pile up
a heap of stones; each player is pro
vided with a "duck" (stone), and In
turn puts his "duck" on the top of the
pile. A little way behind the pile
stands the "tick" or sentry. When a
player has placed his "duck" on the
rock the others try to knock It oS
with their stones.
Should a player miss he must be
careful to pick up his stone again lest
the sentry touches him before he can
return to the mark from which the
stones are thrown. If he is caught
he becomes sentry and places bis own
duck on the rock to be thrown at.
If the duck is knocked off the rock
the players may pick up their stones
at leisure, for no one may be "ticked1
until the duck has been put in po
sition by Us owner.
BOOKS FOR A BOY'S LIBRARY
"Allan Quatermain" and "King 8ol

of Mystery and Adventure.
Amid a multitude of suggestions for
the twenty-fifth book in Librarian Leg

missed two that, In our opinion, ought
to be included in the library of every
normal boy, says Chicago Evening
Post. They are not books of instruc
tion or moral improvement they are
Just ripping good stories of mystsry
and adventure, and they were both
written by Rider Haggard. The boy
who has not read "Allan Quatermain"
and "King Solomon's Mines" has
treat In store for him. If he is not
thrilled by the exploits of that old
Zulu warrior Cmslopogaas, he Is
queer boy. And what baa happened
to Jules Verne? "Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" and "The
Clipper of the Clouds" are better
worth reading today than ever in the
light of submarine and aeroplane

MASK OF THE BACHOKt MtDIClNE, MAN
DISCOVERING a vast new dia
mond field which the smart
est and widest awake of men
In the diamond mining busi
ness didn't know anything about; dis
covering a new tribe of African sav
ages in the very heart of the dark
continent which the smartest and wid
est awake of professors didn't know
much about; getting shot at by hordes
of resentful natives; barely escaping
being powdered into "medicine" for
native use; suffering the chills and
fevers and tortures of malaria and
other jungle diseases and coming safe
ly through it not only alive and com
paratively well but also with an inval
uable collection from the art and eth
nological standpoint of savage musi
cal Instruments, Idols, fetiches, grass
weaving and instruments of warfare,
this in a paragraph Is the star
tling accomplishment of Frank M.
Rapp, a young American mining engi
neer, who recently landed in New
York from his expedition, still shak
ing with fever.
The Bachokes of the great tribe of
the Bantus Is the name of the new
tribe that Mr. Rapp and his party dis
covered. It is all tn one the richest,
the laziest, the most Immoral and the
most interesting of all the tribes of in
terior Africa. To get to it you have
to sail up the great Congo river as far
as it is possible to float anything on
it and dodge native bullets which
come as thick sometimes as a dozen
to the mile. And after you can go no
farther on the river It Is necessary
to hire a hundred or so natives and
go walking the rest of the way Just as
the famous Stanley did so many years
ago. - -
Live on a Lofty Plateau,
The country of these Bachokes is a
plateau about 2,700 feet In the air.
Only the river valleys are Inhabited as
the sections between the rivers are but
little else 4han a desert waste. The
grass on the plateau Is from eight to
fifteen feet high, while that in the val
leys only comes to the disgustingly
low height of four or five feet. Here
the Bachokes reside and here too
reside some amazingly valuable dia
mond fields Just how valuable and
Just how situated Mr. Rapp refuses
to say for purely business reasons.
According to Mr. Rapp the Bachokes
are a fairly wealthy tribe as far as
wealth among the African savages
goes. Tbey are wealthy enough, the
men are, to sit around all day and
smoke and gossip, while the women
work the fields.
As was the case with many an-
other modern fortune the wealth of
the Bachokes was founded upon the
misfortune and exploitation of their
fellow men. The Bachokes were the
original slave traders. They were at
the source of the evil. Upon them
it fell to attack the weaker tribes in
the interior of Africa and to take cap
tive all that they did not slay or leave
dying of wounds. Tbese prisoners
were passed on to the tribes Inhabit
ing the coast, who, in turn at the great
slave port of St. Paul Loanda on the
west coast sold them to English
American and other traders for Euro
pean and American consumption.
Through their slaving operations
the Bachokes came to roll In wealth,

not wear at least three strings of blue
and red beads, buy very costly and
powerful spirit medicines from the

ACCOUNTS FOR QUEER NAME
Little Incident That Led to Most Pe
culiar Cognomen Being Given to
Canadian Town.
An Interesting story Is told as to the
origin of the name "Moose Jaw," as
applied to a town In Canada. Many
years ago, so the story runs, a pioneer
with his team of oxen and "prairie
schooner," while passing along the
banks of the river, was obliged to camp
at this point In Saskatchewan on ac
count of an accident to his cart
A spoke bad fallen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart.
He looked about for something to In
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busied herself
with the evening meal.
The pioneer's child, while romping
around, found the jawbone of a moose,
which she held up to her father, who
by this time almost despaired of find
ing anything with which to repair his
cart He was delighted to find tbat
the Jawbone exactly fitted the place of
the missing spoke. The Indians there
after named this district "The Place
FR1CA
raise his grain and tobacco for him
and secure other necessities of a male
existence.
Lazy and Immoral,
Knowing nothing of the dire events
that befell wealthy Rome or Greece
the Bachokes, nevertheless, followed
in the same path. They became exces
sively immoral. Pines, women and
song took the place of the more manly
and healthful exercises of slaying or
enslaving their neighbors. Instead of
hurling snake-poisoned spears and ten
pound, serrated edge hatchets and
knives at their fellow men the Bach
okes have degenerated so far as to lie
indolently sprawled out in the sun be
fore their huts, playing the while steel
keyed musical instruments Which
sound like musical boxes badly out of
tune and smoking tobacco strong
enough to send any white man to his
grave at the first puff.
Whatever may be said as to the
morals of the Bachokes In their rela
tions to pipes, women and song It can
not be said that, their Immorality ex
tends to the culinary line. They have
never been known, despite plenty of
examples to the contrary, to cook and
eat a white man,
The most they have done in this di
rection Is to make medicine out of
several venturesome whites who have
strayed into their country unarmed or
unattended. Just what the pharmacol
ogic process is has never been
divulged; it is a carefully guarded se
cret of the suspicious and erudite
medicine men of the tribe.
Medicine Men Are Clever.
As thoroughgoing as David Belasco
are these savage black physicians
in creating the proper sort of atmos
phere for the effect they wish to pro
duce. Clad In beads and feathers, sur
rounded by horrific ghost chasers and
spirit placators carved out of wood,
and wearing a frightful mask that
completely covers head, face and neck
the Bachoke medicine man awaits his
patients in his dark hut.
The medicine he distributes after
properly blessing It depends upon the
fee he receives. The sufferer with
rheumatism, may for a few beads or
a chicken buy a pair of carved field
mice to wear at his belt aB a protec
tion against the pains, but a man of
wealth who can afford to pay at least
a goat or a sheep can be completely
Insured, according to the medicine
man's schedule, against further recur
rence of the malady. His medicine
takes the form of an elaborately
carved fetish, into the stomach of
which a hole has been cut and filled
with a substance too sacred even for
the medicine man to pronounce Its
name perhaps a brass tack or a piece
of blue clay.
But, if after all, the pains actually
do recur? Well, a contingency of this
sort has been carefully provided
against by the medicine man. Such
things have been known to happen.
But the reason for it Is this: Some
other man In the tribe, an enemy to
the sufferer with rheumatism, has
been going to a rival medicine man
and paying higher prices for more po
tent medicine, which permits him to
harass the rheumatic patient with evil
spirits, hence the pains. But If the
rheumatic patient wishes to pay a lit
tle higher price for stronger medicine
then he in turn may set evil spirits to
afflicting his enemy, all of which the
medicine man will be glad to arrange
for the proper consideration.
Where the White Man Found th
Moose Jaw." This, It is said, account!
for the town's queer name.
Man-Power.
There Is a distinct difference be
tween power and endurance. The av
erage woman seems to have quite as
much endurance as the average man
but In actual physical power she la
entirely outclassed. In a series ol
experiments to determine this point
It was found tbat the average energy
a man can develop Is one-fifth horse
power, that of a woman only half at
much. The machine for making the
tests Is a bicycle mounted on a fixed
frame, and geared to a brake wheel,
The person under test works the ped
als, and the point at which the friction
of the brake causes the machine to
stop indicates the horse-power bt hai
reached.

BOY'S DEFINITION OF DESERT
Mother's Suggestion That It Was
Place Where Nothing Would Grow
Leads to Amusing Reply. ,
A fond mother was assisting the
little boy the other evening in the
mastery of his geography lesson, and
coming to the description of a desert,
which formed part of the lesson to
be memorized, she quoted the words
of the text-book to the effect tbat it
was "a barren tract"
The little fellow repeated the
phrase after ber, but bis air of mys
tification showed that he hadn't the
slightest idea of the meaning con
veyed by the group of words, and the
better to reach his understanding, she
endeavored to simplify the description
by defining it as "a place where noth
ing would grow."
The boy's face brightened with the
light of awakened intelligence, and
the mother, proud and expectant, put
the question:
