CHAPTER III
" Sticks and Mud '
. 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

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.

A PRISON TRAGEDY
The atate comptroller hai refused to approve any more bills for hair tenia at
Sing Sing. .
, When Dog-Faoe Donovan, with whom
The taste for stimulants was chronic,
Was much depressed with prison gloom
He primed himself with dandruff tonic.
The commonwealth the dope supplied ' yy
Which served to furnish Dog-Face quicker
.-" With all the makings of a t?de,
, . Than even bottled red-eye liquor. ' , , ,
The warden, when the boys would shirk,
Would keep a hair-oil bottle, handy
Which put them in the trim for work
As well as whisky, gin or brandy..
It kept the convicts up to snuff," .
It nerved them in their daily, duty, S
And on his books he charged the stuff t.
To "Drugs, and Requisites to Beauty." "
The cost in time became so great
The audTtor believed hejd better .
Conserve the interests of the state,
: And so he wrote the following letter:
"Dear Warden: Please inform your crooks
Their tastes arr rather too Byronic.
They think too much about their looker 1
I disallow those bills for tonic."' . ,
No hammers on the rock pile ring,
No more the bajls and chains are polished,
Since in the confines of Sing Sing . ,
The hair-oil ration was abolished?
Each convict with a scowling face - .
Goes laggardly about his duty,
For prison is a dreary place ; - -
Without those "Requisites to Beauty."

Common Sense
CONSIDER THE FUTURE.
By Jj J. 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. '
It is a serious problem to face. -Give
it serious consideration, and
earnest, whole-hearted endeavor will
get results, so go ahead.

MAGNETISM, the professor
tells us, is at the bottom
of every good card trick.
This isn't true. biit we mustn't
expect : to . hear :f "nothing but
vtruth," from a magician.

, example," the professor contin

place my hand so and the cards'
.so" ' .:, ,
" . He places his palm downward
on the table. 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.
To let the cards fall on the
floor at the count of 10 the pro
fessor 'pushed on tnem with his
.fingers hard enough to .break the
skin. It is hardly necessary to
sa'y that the palm must not be
.toward the audience at any time
