r HOOD BIVBB QLAOB311, SHP&gDAY, JUNE 11, 1908. Threa Young Folk! THE COWTHORPE OAK. Tree In Yorkshire, England, It Said U Be Five Hundrad Yaara Old. One of the oldest of British tree la tto Cowthorpe oak, which has been tandlng near Wetherbjr. In Yorkshire, for BOO years, according to veracious chronicle. It Is a tree that has been described often and has figured In works of fiction. It Is related of this tree, eajs the New Tork Sun, that on occasion as many as forty persons have been gathered within the hollow of Ita trnnk, although It must be confessed that some of these were children. The most recent measurement shows that Its girth of trunk at the ground was fifty-four feet three Inches, and the cavity was eleven feet by nine feet The tree Is not now so very tall, reaching only thirty-seven feet Into the air. There are twenty-five props about the tree to support the falling branches. The cavity has been noticeable only lace the beginning of the nineteenth century. Many of the earlier measure ments show that the tree once was much greater In girth than now. Aged as It Is, the tree bore acorns In 1901 and 1005 and always produces a fair amount of foliage. In 1803 an acorn borne by the Cowthorpe oak was planted near by, and a tree Is growing op slowly as a memorial to the parent New Chines 8hadowa. The following Is a very simple meth od of producing on the wall a series of new Chinese shadows, the operator as well as the little folk delineated re maining behind the lookers-on, which Is sometimes an advantage. Place a candle on a table and on the wall opposite affix a sheet of foolscap for a screen. Between the candle and the screen Interpose some opaque body, HOW TO PEBFOBM THB THICK. . such as a cardboard calendar or a largo volume. Now, how are you go ing to project your shadows on the screen when It Is already dark? Very simply by means of a mirror fixed at the edge of a table. The reflection of the mirror will be thrown on the wall either In a parallelogram or In an oval, and if your screen is in the suitable position and you work your pasteboard dolls correctly between them, the mir ror and the wall, your audience will tee the figures dance without finding out the way It Is done. Magical Ex periments. Said to Ba Jaeob'a Wall. A German truvcler, writing from Palestine to a Cologne paper, says: "Our guide, a tall, swarthy, long beard ed man, who could earn much money as a model, grew eloquent when we came to Schechem, a place which should be sacred to the Hebrews be cause Its history is so closely Inter woven with theirs. Here we saw what Is known as Jacob's well, which Is In the shadow of Mount Gerlzlm. It Is about seventy feet deep, they told us, and eight feet In diameter. 'Here,' said our guide, 'stood the oak of Mo reh, where Abraham, when he came to Canaau, built the first altar. In the days of Jacob, Schechem had become a business town, and here it was that the traders of that time came with their live stock aud products of the field to trade.' All its commercial greatness has vanished, but It will at tract religious people as long as the well, which is still In a good state of preservation, remains." Jacae's Adventure. Jesse, who Is just learning to talk, always speaks of himself as "she." Not long since he ran in, trembling with excitement, and announced: "Oh, mamma, she turn to de hen bouse, an' she see er ole hen, nn' she shake her wing at she, an' she wun away." Tha Clock. Ha stands in tha corner from moraine till night, A patient old thing with no feet. His face ii as shining and round aa a moon, And, oh, so exceedingly neat From breakfast to supper. Right on through the day. Tick-took, tlck-tock! I'm only a clock. Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll say. His hands are quite tidy and grow on his face. When I get to be big I shall know Why one Is so long and tha other ao short. And one he moves fast and one alow. From breakfast to supper. Right on through the day, "Tlck-tock. tlck-tock! I'm only a clock. Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll say. At night, when I'm sleeping, he keepj wide awake To see what the little mice do. And he watches the brownie creep la through the blind. Hla little red shoes soaked with dew. From supper to breakfast. From nighttime to day, "Tlck-tock. tlck-tock! I'm only a clock. Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll aay. And when it comes morning I wish ha would tell. I ask him;' but never a trace Of the wonderful doings ha saw in the night Doea ha show in hla sober old face, prom breakfast to supper. Right on through the day. Tlck-tock, tlck-tock! I'm only a clock. Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll say. Youth's Comparts i NOBODY SPARED Klilner Tronliles Attack Hood River Men and Women, uia ana loung.

"Yes, my sou," replied flunston sen ior rather cautiously. "Of course, papa," resumed the youngster, "you'll 1 able to tell me where the government got the money to buy the gold and silver." "Why er of course," stammered Gunston senior as he put down the pa per and gazed thoughtfully at the boy "Now, let me understand you. The government wanted to coin uidney, and in order to do so U was necessary to purchase gold and silver. "Yon want to know where the government got the money to buy the gold and silver?" "That's right," chuckled Gunston Junior gleefully, and a great joy filled his being as he thought of bis all lm pertant sire struggling with the simple nuestlon.
