When this latter thing is the case, it is necessary to fix up some nook or corner in the yard and invest it with special attractions. And even when the children do not require added in- ducements to play out of doors, it is 150 YEARS AGO TODAY Sto midst the nds spec se | in December.

You never can rell, from the way two people meet, how they will part. Johnny Chuck remained with his hack to a big rock until he was sure that Old Man Coyote didn’t intend to bother him. He was a little sur- prised that Old Man Coyote hadn't (tempted to catch him. ¥ou see, ho didn't know that Old Man wyote's stomach was already full hen he met him. Old Man Coyete deliberately avoided fight. So vhen at last Johnny Chuck moyved on he felt quite puffed up.

Johnny Chuck did his best to try not to appear surprised, but he didn't make much of a success of it. He was not only surprised, but was star- 1led. He had no idea Jimmy was any- where near until Jimmy: spoke. Or- dinarlly Johnny Chuck has much re- spect for Jimmy Skunk. But now Jimmy was so puffed up over his meeting with Old Man Coyote he was lacking in his usual good sense. I said that Old Man Coyote didn’t dare fight me,”” boasted Johnny, strut- ting a little. .

A sand box in a garden is a well rec- Most children | ognized feature that enildren like. 1t is the next best thing to the seashore. There must be plenty of sand, so that fortifications und pyramids, us well as sand tarts and pies,-can be made. The bhox may be merely a hollow square of boards with the sand dumped directly on the ground. Then it should be placed where the sun does not hine directly on it, or tho children will be deprived of playing in it on sunny days, when they should be enjoying it to its fullest. if there is no shady spot where the sand box can be put, get an upright piano box and knock off the boards below the slanting por- tion. The slanting boards form a roof for the little shack, and, if the box is placed well, the sund pile beneath it will be shady and the sand kept dry. By painting the plano box it can be ifade to resemble a play house. Simple Tents. When the children get a little older a tent will give them an equal amount of pleasure. It can be put up with little trouble and inexpensively. The important thing Is to have the ina- terfal actually waterproof. There are many models in tents for children, but none is simpler than a strip of awning cloth over a ridgepole between two sets of upright supports. The four corners are finished with rope, which fastens about staples driven firmly in- to the ground. Any parents who are at all mechanfcal can make and put up such a tent. Shape Formed by Sides. 1f more protection is wanted, make flaps by sewing two lengths to each side. se should overlap slightly | where they come together and be tr angular in shape, so that the hottom of each portion will reach to the ground, and no more, when the tent is up. These shaped sides give form to the tent. The tent can be closed en- tirely when the sides are down, or one side can be fastened back like an en- trance doorway, or both sides can be fastened back and so allow for a cur- rent of air through the tent. Tent Floor. The ground may be the floor of such a tent, or boards can be nailed to cross beams on the under side and a wooden floor be made. The advan- tage of the wooden floor is that in rainy weather, If the sides of the tent are kept closed, the floor remains dry and the tent can be used in shower) weather as well as in falr. run, without the'least hurt; and what | A remarkable, not single with the least accident though near 500 men | were employed in and about. her| {when she was run off. 1 The Raleigh is one of the 13 frig-| ates which were ordered by Congress Maryland Is for Reunion. | ANNAPOLIS, May 21, 1776.—The Maryland, convention at today’s ses- sion emphatically declared its opposi. tion to @ declaration of independence.

WHA'I' are you storing up for your old age? Are you laying up any money against the time when you will be feeble and no longer able to ‘work? The hour will strike for you, as it doas for others, when your earning powers will be gone. Your hands will be too stiff and clumsy to keep on with thefr accustomed task. Your mind will be too slow to go the pace in the flerce competition in the commercial world. It vou are an employe, you will lose your job. If you are a business man, you will find that your trade has somehow drifted away from you. If you are a professional man, you will be superseded by the new men ‘whose stars are just rising on the horizon Nothing that you can do will alter these conditions. No miracle will save you from the common fate of all who grow old. But if you have saved up enough money to make you independent, it will be merely a matter of mild regret to you. 1f, however, you have laid up nothing for the rainy day that is bound to come to you, it will be a tragedy that you will pray death to end. T'or in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those re forced to eut the bitter bread of dependen of another man's house. Wherever they go, they elcome.

The averag family heads have all they can do, in these times of the high cost of living, to provide for their children, and it makes their burden crushing to have to add to it the extra welght of the support of the old people of their families. The fate of the dependent old 15 so terrible that it is a marvel that it does not frighten every one into trying to provide agalnst it, yet it was recently stated In a journal of statf stics that 80 per cent of the men and women-more than 60 years of age were dependent elther upon their children or upon public charity. Don't let this misfortune befall you. Guard against it. Begin systematic saving while you are young, so that when you are old you will at least have the comfort of being inlependent, . RE you Jaying up affection for your old age? Most of us have a curlous and natve beliet in what we call “‘natural affection.” We befool ourselv into thinking that people must love us because they stand in_a certain relationship to us, and because there are blood ties between us. Never was there a more fallacious theory. There is, to be sure, the mother passion for the child she has berne, and the instinctive clinging of the child to its mother while it is young and helpless, but that is all. It doesn’t follow as a matter of course that grown-up men and women love their parents just because they are their parent As a matter of fact. they don't, unless the father and mother have won their love by vears of tenderness and understanding and sympathy. You can’t be hard and tyrannical and selfish and stingy with your children and expect them to love vou because it is their duty te do so. 1f you want your children to love you when you are old begin winning their hearts when they ave in the cradle. Iave you laid up a good supply of friendship for your old age? you have to No complaint is heard more often from the old than that they are lonely. e 3 om asked out. No one sends the flowers whi v are sick - neglected, and t} ave the little all like, NJOW, when old people are lonely, it is always their own fault. It is because they have neglected to lay up any friendships for the sere and vellow when they have no longer the power to attract people to them. They have gone their selfish way through life, sufficient unto themselves in their youth. They have never held out o helping hand to those in need. They have never wept with those who wept, or rejolced with those who rejoiced. They have not bothered to write notes of condolence or congratula- tion. They have never visited the sick and afflicted. ‘They have never spent an hour listening to an old person's garrulous talk, and so, when they get old, they are repaid in the same cofn.
