tld to have him join them in their
ipor'ti.
lie never could uiidcrt'and why
lonnnie iireen ana wie rcignuori
bovi didn't want him to play bate
hall with them. Spot loved to cha.e
t ball. And sometimes when he was.
Hatching a game and aomebody nit
low grounder he would ruth out
ind grab the hall and run Attn it.
T hen all the bovi would run afte.1
him and try to catch him. That al-
tvayi pleased rpot mignuiy. Aim
Hie longer the eiiae usteu ute nap
nier he wai. But it was different
with the boya. The harder they had
to run after foi brtore mcy got
the ball away from him the more
out of patience they hecame.
Whenever Spot took part in a ball
came like that Johnnie Cireen usually
out an end to hi fun. for the time
being, by tying him to something: or
other perhaps a tence or a tree. But
tven that was better so spot
thought than being sent home in
disgrace.
, Luckily there were other sports in
which Spot could romp with the
boy as much as lie pleases, without
anybody's objecting. Nutti-ig in the
woods in the fall, skating on the
null pond or coasting down the long
hill oast Farmer Green's house in
the winter, berrying in the summer
No mattef what tricks tfca bogs pkyed
on him. Spot never lost bit temper. , -and
swimming. Those were on!y a
few of the jolly times that Spot and
the boys enjoyed together.
Perhaps, of them all, both Spot
iind the boys liked swimming the
most. As for Spot, he. didn't care
where he swam, so Ions as the water
was wet. Broad Brook, Swift River, J
Black Creek, or the mill ?ond any
one of those places suited him as
Well as another. The boys, however,
preferred the mill pond. It was deep
enough, by the dam, to suit the best,
swimmers, and it ' was shallow
enough at the upper end for those
that were just learning.
All the boys htought it great fun
when a wagon clattered over the
bridge, which cfossed right over the
dam, Then they ducked into the
water, with only their heads out, and
shouted more or less politely at who
ever was passing. .
At such times Spot barked, be
cause that seemed to htm. the gen-1
tlemanly thing to do. But he never
could see any. sense in jumping into
the water if he happened to be out
on -the bank when a wagon came
along. 1
The boys threw sticks, ibout the
pond for Spot to fetch back to them.
They raced with him. They upset
him when ,he was sunning, himself,
on the big rock neat1; the-dam -and
they laughed to see the splash he
lriade'whcttvh struck the water.
No matter what tricks the" boys
played on him, Spqt never lost-, his
temper. - .He toofcj everything good
naturedly". ; v And one day, when
Johnnie Green, and his friends were
swimming in the mill pond he even
look a bundle of clothes from be
neath big hickory on ' the bank.
Yes! Spot "caught up' somebody's
Clothes in his mouth and started
along the road with them. '.
He was surprised to hear a ter
rible outcry from the water.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
AN ALARMING SYMPTOM
We read a book the other day,
Which said that when a man is lazy
And likes to loaf the hours away,
The chances are that he is crazy.
The hobo, so the writer said,
In this disturbing dissertation,
Has something wrong inside his head
Or he would seek an occupation.
To love in shady woods to lurk,
Where flowers bloom and brooks are gurgling,
The while the toiling millions work
At plumbing, selling stocks, or burgling
With idleness for weeks on end
For anyone to be contented,
In slothful ease one's time to spend
la proof, it seems, that one's demented.
This casts a brand new light on life;
Wc always fancied, in our folly,
. That those who plunge in toil and strife
Were somewhat off their mental trolley.
The hobo by the brooklet's brim,
We've hailed in many a summer season
And taken off our hat to him,
He seemed to us the soul of reason.
Ourselves, in fact, at Nature's call,
Have hied us in our trusty flivver '
To find a place where we might sprawl .
Beside some placid flowing river;
In idling 'neath a maple's shade '
We've always found a joy ecstatic,
And now alas! wc are afraid , -
That bats are sailing through our attic! .

Parents' Problems
How can cheerfulness best be
taught to children?
Example is a ' more important
factor in teaching cheerfulness than
is almost anything -else, and fortu
nate are the children who catch the
habit of noticing and speaking of
the little happy things every day.
There are always plenty of these to
give us 'cheer if we know - how' to
look in the Tight places. What can
ever daunt the. child who loves to
watch the raindrops chase each other
down the screen even on what was
to have been the day of the picnic?
It haa been discovered by an in
vestigator that worms and snails
leave the "vicinity-when an electrc
current is sent into the ground

counterfeited is beer;

WHY-
Are Clocks Used on Stockings?
What we refer to today as . a
"clock" on a. sock or stocking ' is
nothing more than a bit of ornamen
tal embroidery-which .appears to be
placed in position in order to make
the ankle of the wearer appear more
slender or to give a touch of distinc
tion to the hosiery. But originally
it had a much more utilitarian pur
pose, being designed to cover a nat
ural defect in the weave.
In the days before the invention oi
the present type of machinery which
works automatically and turns out
a completed stocking every few sec
onds, hosiery was woven in two sep
arate pieces, the front and the back.
When completed, the sock or stock
ing was then joined together on
either side of the -ankle, a process
which naturally left an unsightly
seam. In order to conceal this and
to give a neat finish to the article
of wearing apparel, ' a decorative
piece of embroidery was placed over
the seams to hide the effect and this,
on account of the stitch used, was
referred to as the "clocking" on the
stocking. The necessity for an orna
ment of this kind has long since
passed, but the "clocks" remain,
both as an ornament and as a rem
nant of this old custom.

To those born on an anniversary

The "News" Mrs. Durkee Carefully
- Broke to Madge.
The appearance of Edith Fairfax
at the climax of my hours of doubt
ing worry concerning her absorbed
my thought and attention so com
pletely that for a second or two I
did not see the other occupants ot
the car.
' Then, as I pulled myself together
and walked swiftly forward, I saw
that Dicky was driving, with Edith
beside him, while in the rear seat of
the big car Aunt Dora Paige sat as
if on a throne, with Mrs. Durkee and
Leila as ladies-in-waiting on either
side, with Alfred and Dr. Jim Paige
in close attendance from the smaller
middle seats. I do not believe that
there is a type of woman in the
world who can suggest more strong
ly a court of worshipful subjects
than can the elderly genllc-born
southern woman.
"Surprise! Surprise!" Leila chant
ed gayly, as I reached past her to
grasp Aunt Dora's tiny snowflake of
a hand. "Fcss tip, now! Aren't you
completely flabbergasted for once it
your life? We thought first we'd
wait till morning, but Aunt Dora
didn't want to wait a minute before
running over."
"It just seems ycahs since I saw
yoh all." Aunt Dora cooed, and I
knew that to her antebellum ideas,
accustomed to the time when every
plantation chatelaine kept open
house, and never knew within a
dozen of the number which her din
ing room would hold there was
nothing out of the ordinary in this
sudden descent at dinner time of
half a dozen guests. '
. ' Pardonable Pride.
How I blessed Katie for the in
tuition which had made her prepare
a "beeg dinner" on the chance of
Dicky's bringing home some guest I
"Dicky's got a big steak and all
the fixings, Mrs. Madge," Alfred
broke in. "I told him to or he'd
never have thought of it. And we'll
all help. I warn you we're simply
starved. ' ' -,
, "We'll put that steak on the ice for
tomorrow," I said serenely, with a
little pardonable pride at my house
Wifely triumph. "Perhaps we can
go down to the beach and broil it
down there on a camp fire. But
Katie has dinner almost ready. She
said she knew 'Meester Graham'
Where It Started
Artesian Wells. '
Though the Chinese have long
used wells of this description, it is
doubtful if they fully understood the
principles involved. The name is
from the well sunk at Artois, in
France, which was the first well dug
with thorough knowledge of the
principle, of these spouting wells.

Japan to Send 200 Delegates

Costa Ricans Occupy Coto
Without Help From U. S.
Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, Sept
9. Occupation of the Coto region

Chief Justice White, was carried out
without intervention .by the Ameri

Inhabitants of the region joyfully

lines of deserted trenches and many
Sublic buildings 'which had been

"I call that positively psychic." Al
fred said admiringly. "What do. you
do, Dicky-bird, to get 'cm that way?
Has Katie a sister, or a cousin, or
something wc could snatch?"
"I shouldn't allow her in the house
minute," Leila said with such
pretty comical positiveness that we
all shouted.
"Wheah's yoh mothah and that
blessed baby?" Aunt Dora demanded,
and I promptly sent Dicky for them.
"After I got your letter about the
old house," Mrs. Durkee said to
Mother Graham the instant she ap
peared, "I couldn't wait a minute to
see it. And as Aunt -Dora and Dr.
Jim were coming north for a little
visit I told Alfred we'd simply all
come down to some country hotel
near you and stay for a few days,
so we found the dearest place on
Shelter island. And Dicky suggest
ed that we all drive down together.
Is this the house?"
Mrs. Durkee Advises.
Her eyes roved puzzled over the
extremely modest Ticer farm house.
i his. Mother Graham snorted.
"Get the carette out. Madire."
Dicky advised, "and lead the way
with mother and Junior to the other
place. Mother will burst u you

"Do shut up, Dicky-bird, and give
somebody else a chance to speak,"
little Mrs. Durkee said crossly,
alighting from the big car. "I want
to talk to Madge, and Aunt Dora
wants to see Mother Graham, so I'll
ride with Madge, and Mother Gra
ham and Junior can get in the big
car." .
" 'Twas ever thus." Dickv .sisrhed
ruefully as he assisted his mother
into the vacant seat of the car. But
nobody .paid any attention to him,
and in another minute we were on
our w;ay. to our new home.
that something was on Mrs. Dur-
kce's mind I knew. There had been
but two . sober faces in the merry
crowd, her's ; and Dr. Jim's. The
reason for the physician gloom was
not hard to find. It lay in Edith's
presence beside Dicky on the front
seat. I wondered for a second if
that were the subject upon which.
my little friend wished to talk. But
her first words dispelled the idea.
"Madge," she said, "I don't want
to frighten yoij, but as we were go
ing to our rooms ver at the' hotel
this afternoon I distinctly saw Grace
Draper going down' the hall. . And
and I'm sure Dicky knows she's
there, for I saw him later lift his hat
to some one, and I caught a glimpse
of , the same dress going round a
corner."
I-.drew a long breath and ex
plained the situation as best I could.
But. though my little friend, the
mother of an art editor, understood
as few Women could the crisis with
which Dicky was confronted, yet her
face was shadowed with doubt when
I had finished.
"Of course, I know all you say is
true," she said. "And I -won't open
my mbuth except to approve out
wardly, if that's what t you want.
But, oh Madge 1 I can't help feeling
you're making the mistake of your
life in having that girl back again!
Edith is behaving badly enough,
goodness knows, but that : other
devil!"

Going Backward to Look Forward.
This is for young ladies still un
married. Go upstairs backward, into
your chamber backward and get into
bed backward. Drink ome salt
water and if you dream of some
one bringing you a drink of water
it will be your future husband. "hi
.superstition is quite general in the
L'nited States and Canada. Sonic sav
that it hhould only be tried on all
Hallowe'en, a time when, as every
body knows, the supernatural forces
are most powerful. But "down east"
they say that the spell .can be tried
at any time with satisfactory re
sults. .
The principal feature of this su
perstition is the backward movement
enjoined. To put one's self in har
mony -with the world of spirits it is
essential to reverse the order prop-j
er for the. world of the flesh. Wil
liam Wells Newell, in his introdue-;
tion to Mrs. Bergen's collection dT
Current Superstitions, says of super-j
stiticm similar to the one under con-
sideration: "There seems to be indi-i
cations showing aii c-riginal associa-;
tion of some of these usages with
the lower world: such inav be the!
significance of the backward move-1
ment. In order to put one s self in
connection with the world of dark
ness it is necessary to reverse the
procedure proper for the world of
light. This principle, appearing in
medieval magic, could also be illus
trated from savage custom." But
the principle of going backward, the
principal of the reverse order, in
magic antedates the middle ages and
its existence among savage tribes
would indicate that was of primitive
origin. And it is not necessarily the
"powers of darkness" with which
connection is established by "the
backward movement though in me
dieval, magic such was generally the
object, but with the world of tpirits;
generally. The reverse ritual might j
be railed a phase of sympathetic
magic, that ruling idea in primitive;
man's philosophy.
