The Dutch Twins at Church.
" They- all went into the church to
gether, and an ofd woman led them
to their scats. Kit and Kat sat one
each side of grandmother. Grand
father and Flther VcdMcr sat on
the other side of the church with
all the rest of the men.
"You must sit very stilly and look
'straight before you," said grand
mother. .
Kit remembered the peppermints
and sat up like a soldier. So did
Kat. , ,
Frctty soon the schoolmaster
came in and went up into thepulpit.
He read a chapter, from the Bible,
and then the dominie stood up iuthe
pulpit and began to preach. He
preached a long time.
.Kit and Kat tried very hard to
.sit still,, just as grandmother had
.. Faid; but pretty soon their heads
bepnn to nod.
Grandmother gave . them each a
peppermint. -
They wakd up for a minute. But
the dominie kept right on preach
ing until they were both sound
asleep with their heads on grand
mother's shoulders-one' on each
..side; and i,t they had been awake to
see, they might have thought that
grandmother took a nap, too.v
Toe sermon was sjj very long that
a great many people went to sleep.
So. W and by, the doniinie said:
. "V'e will all sing the 91st psalm."
Every borty woke up.
. Grandmother opened the great
.firo den clasos of her psalm book,
and stood up with all the rest of the,
people. She stood up quickly so tnat
,110 one would think she had been
: asleep. She fogofthat the Twins
were asleep, too, witlu their heads
on her. shoulders That was why.
v when she got up, Kit and Kat fell
against each other and bumped their
USdl' , r . ,
Thy forgot that they were in
church. They said "Ow!" both
together, and Kat began to cry.
But grandmother said "Sh! sh!" and
gave them each a peppermint; and
v that made them feel miich better.
Pretty soon the . schoolmaster
came along with a little bag on the
end of a long stick.- He passed it
to ciich person. Kit and Kat each
put in a penny, though Kit had a
hard time to get his out of his
pocket. Bit grandmother was ' so
upset about the Twins getting
bumped that she forgot and put in
a peppermint instead.
When church was over and they
were out on the street again, grand
mother said:
"Now you are coming home with
me to stay all night." ' -
"Really and truly?" said the
Twins.' '"'And may we go with gand
fatlier to carry the milk in the morn
ing?" 3.
"Yes," said grandmother, "and Kit
may drive the dog." ,
Kit jumped right up and down,
he was so happy even if it was
Sunday. , '
"May I, too? May I, too?" asked
Kat. .
"You are a girl' said grand
father. You may ride . in the
wagon."
"Oh, I wish tomorrow would come
right away," said "Kat.

; -Why -Measles May
Be dangerous
i This is No. 3 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a com- '
' petent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack
the air passages such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping
Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often leave '
I ' these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a
favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick's Vapo
Rub may be of value in this condition.
Few of us escape measles it
is one of the commonest of child
hood diseases. Every mother
mows the symptoms, but the

The air passages are still inflamed
ind if his inflammation is not
:leared up, the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving the
way for pneumonia or serious

The Lightest Kind, of Hammock.
FRANCIS BOLT-WHEELER.
Sleeping on hike trips is always a
difficulty. . In books, and outing
magazines'it is treated as a simple
matter, but it' is a long way from
beinpf as simple as it looks.
Most city boys arc used to beds.
The ground is hard and knobby. If
a fallow doesn't get a good sleep,
he's not fit for much the next day.
H.he sleeps badly for two or three
nights in succession, then his hike is
going to do him more harm than
good. Sleeping on the ground in a
blanket isn t for those who aren't
used to it.
The spruce-branch bed is all
right if there are plenty of spruces.
Th stake-spring bed is good if
you're "a wonder with an axe and
have a -couple of hours to spare. A
cot is too heavy to carry. A canvas
hammock is bulky and. the strings
will tangle.
Here's a simple and""' light ham
mock. You need two pieces of wood
about two feet long, deeply notched
and with a stout iron hook stoutly
affixed. In addition to this you need
two balls-of heavy hauling line (any
tough thin rope willldo) a piece of
heavy fish-net and a naH of string.
Deciding to stop your hike for the
night, pick out four trees in the
form of a rough square. The nearer
they are as long as they're far
enough apart to stretch the ham
mock the better. Tie your ropes
to , the side tree,. Pull them to
gether with the hooked sticks, not
forgettitif: to pass these sticks
through the loops of the fish net,
which has already been thrown un
der and over the two ropes. Run
the string through both the . upper
aad under sides of the fish net, where
they join at the side rope and lash
them to the rope. Last of" all, lash
the ends of the hooked sticks to the
side ropes, after pulling as taut as
you can, and your hammock is
made. , v -
If afraid of the weather, once
more take out the ball of string. Tie
a string between each of the two
end trees as high as you can reach
and then run a string from one to
the other. Throw a piece of oiled
silk, or even thin oilcloth, over this
string and you hav a tent. If hot
weather and mosquitoes are plenti
ful, do the same trick, only fasten to
it a mosquito net, made of cheese
cloth. Bear in mind, it's. a whole
lot easier to do things with string
than with an axe.

ideas of value and makes him" dis
dainful of smaller, offerings.
What do I care if you think I
can't afford it,and ought pay it out
in debts'instead of rips. That's my
business. It's too small to pay a
bill, and giving a big tip makes the
waiter think me a sport and other

those I owe.v That's your worry.
Besides, I dsnjt see why you're in a
rush.
If you don't like it, that's up to
you. I'll pay my bills when I want

WHY?
do we wake up in the morning?
(Copyright, 1!0, bythe "Wheeler Syn

The human body "goes, to
sleep" in onlcr that the heart and
the brain have time to ouild up
the portions of the body which
have been used up during the day,
by .exertion of one kimi or an
other. .
Generally speaking, the brain
acts as sort of an alarm clock
which wakens us when the pro
cess of re-building has been com
pleted and it is for this reason
that persons who have been un
duly fatigued sleep longer than
those who have taken but little
exercise. The process of awak
ening is principally due to two
factors the necessary amount of
rest and habit. The former Being

who are quite tired when they re

.their accustomed time, though an
equal amount of fatigue uoon go
ing to bed each night will ' soon
enable one to acquire the habit
of arising at the same hour, no
matter how early or late this may
be; The process 'of natural
awakening, therefore, is merely
the result of being completely
rested in all pars of the body
even though certain muscles may
appear fatigued through unusual
exertion on the proceeding day.

gard in which Mr. Fanning was held

service, marched two abreast to the
home. They were accompanied by
a large number of clerks and other
federal employes, -Services
