Like the 'dam that held the water to form the pond where Brownie Beaver lived. Brownie s house was made of sticks and mud: He cut the sticks himself, from trees that grew near the bank of the pond; and after drasrsring and pushing them tj the water a edge he swam witn tnem, without much trouble, to the center of the pond, where he wished "to mild his house. Of course, the sticks floated in the water;so Brownie found that paVt of his work to be quite easy. . He had chosen that spot in the cen ter of the pond because there was something a good deal iike on lsiana there only it did not rise quite out jf the water. A good, firm place on which to set ihs house Brownie Beaver considered. While he was building his house Brownie gathered his winter's food at tht same time. Any one might think he would have found it difficult to do two things at once like that. But while he was .utting sticks to build his new house it was no great trouble to peel the bark off them. The bark, you know, was what Brownie Beaver always ate. .And when he cut sticks for his house there was only one thing about which he had to be careful; he had to be particular, to use only certain kinds sf woods. Poplar, cottonwood, or willow, birch, elm, box elder or aspen those were the trees whitfh bore THE GUMPS FORE! 1 FORTy FORE ! ! Drawn for The Bee by Sidney Smith. Vhy dont you do the wayldid?' fhe asked bark that ne likeu. xuk i( he cut down a hipkory or an ash or an oak tree he wouldn't have been able to. get any food from them at all because the bark was not the sort he cared for. That was lucky, in a way, because the. Wood of those trees was very hard atiu Brownie would have had much more work cutting them down. , v A good many of Brownie Beaver's neighbors thought he w3 foolish to go to the trouble of building a new housi, when there were old ones to be had. And there was a lazy fel Jow called Tired Tim who laughed 1 openly at Brownie. ; "When N you're cider you'll know better than to'work like that," Tired Tim told him. "Why don't you do the way I did ?f he asked. 'I dug a tunnei in the tank of the pond; and v it's a good enough house for any body. It's much easier than building a house of sticks and mud." But Brownie told Tired Tim that he didn't care to live in a hole in the bank. ., "Nobody but a very lazy person would be willing to have a house like that," Brownie said. Tire I Tim only laughed all the harder. "Old Grandaddy Beaver has been talking to you," he remarked. "I , saw him taking you over, to the dam day before yesterday and telling you where to work on it. Of course, that's all right if you're .willing to work for the whole village. " But I says, let others do the Work! As for me, I've never put a single stick nor a single armful of mud on that dam; and what's more, I never intend to, either. " , ; "My tunnoj in the bank suits me very well. Of course, it may not b so airy in summer as a house such as you're making for yourself. But I don't live in my house in summer. So wlat's the difference, to me? In summer I go up the stream, or down just as it suits me and I see ' something of the world and have a fine time. There's nothing like travel, you know, ti broaden one," said Tired Tim. Brownie Beaver stopped just a moment and looked at the lazy fel fow. He was certainly broad enough, Br wnie thought. He was so fat that his sides stuck far out. But it was no wonder for he never did any work. ' "You'd better take my advice,' Tired Tim told Brownie. But Brownie Beaver had returned to his wood-cutting. He didn't even , stop to answer To him, working was just fun. Andbuiding a fine house was as good as any game. (Copyright. Grosset St Duniap.)

MUXDY. At times you : worry a lot ab6ut whdt you will do in your old age. You knbw the small amount you save systematically today will not provide enough for the time ahead when you may be physically unfit to work. Whenever you get to thinking you end by saying to yoursejf, "why worry? Something is bound to turn up to help out." With this conclusion you proceed to go right on in your carefree way. . Of course, you cannot improve your position by worrying. I TJut you might improve it mater ially if you would take yourself in hand for a heart-to-heart talk, and think and plan work for a bigger in come and stick ito your determination to prepare yourself for greater things. ' i y But it means make a start and, having started, the grit and the de termination to carry out your pur pose. , ' t - The giving the matter ' hurried thoughts now : and' then ayaileth nothing.

One at a time he tucks under, it 15 or 20 cards, ar- ' ranging them in the shape of a many-pointed star. Slowly he , raises his hand. The cards rise also, clinging to the palm as if, indeed, they are magnetzide. A spectator is asked to count 10. At '4hetl Oth, count the cards fall from, the hand. . You might not think the secret hidden in a tiny sewing needle, but that needle is the whole trick Always careful, the magi cian, boiled the needle before he was ready to do the trick, and kept it from germs by wrapping it in a bit of bandage. Just be fore the time to do the trick he thrust the needle under the skin and 'out again where the skin is tough and thick just un der the fingers Of the left, hand. ; In arranging the ;cards he placed the first two as shown in the illustration. The other cards were tucked under these cards. (It will be surprising to the read er to find how many cards may rb.e held in this manner 'and what ' a" wide spreading star they will make.
