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 inch of the body with the head project ed, writes Justin Stewart in Popular BUMV WHEtL- Sled Propelled by Wheels, Pointed Nails Doing the Pushing. 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 mon's Mines" Are Good Stories of Mystery and Adventure. Amid a multitude of suggestions for the twenty-fifth book in Librarian Leg ler's list of books fo. boys we have 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?

M sue Top--rn 1CHESTTOBE in A 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, It Is a poor Bachoke Indeed who can not wear at least three strings of blue and red beads, buy very costly and powerful spirit medicines from the medicine man, keep a wife or two to 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.
