A Summer Grievance When I'm hot and through with play, And I'm lolling on the grass, Watching tree tops sway and sway, Watching big white clouds that pass, Not exactly half asleep, -Rtttjyith deams, and nice ones, near, Wlien I'm comfy, 'way in deep, Then I sure do hate to hear: "Willie! Willie! Time to come and dress; WILL-IE!" Now the room mv mother's got Has the sun all afternoon; And she's always saying, "Hot? Why, I really thought I'd swoon!" And it's there I have to go To be fussed with every day; "Getting clean," Ma calls it. Oh! How it hurts to hear her say; "Willie! Willie! Time to come and dress; WILL-IE!" If the room were not so small, ,VWhy, it wouldn't be so bad; liut there's trunks and clothes and all, And my mother gets so mad. She declares I don't half try. And that all I do is sprawl On the bed. "Oh, dear!" she'll sigh, "How I dread the time I call, "Willie! Willie! Time to come and dress; WILL-IE!" Don't I wish that we could go To some place where no one cares, Where there Isn't so much show, And where no one puts on airs! Ueigh-ho-hum! It's 5 o'clock ;- Just the nicest time of day Mother's chair has stopped its rock; I know what she going to say: "Willie! Willie! Time to come and dress; WILL-IE!" The tongue of a moth or butterfly is marvelously made. It is a trunk of odd and delicate structure and varies in length, although often, as long as the entire body of the moth or butterfly. In some sphinx moths it measures nine inrhes long or more than three times the length of the body.

Although the Prince of Wales first set foot on American soil at Topsail, a little fishing village on the Newfoundland coast near St. Johns, his first public appearance and reception were at St. Johns. He landed in a small boat at Topsail for a few minutes and war, seen by only a few fishermen. Naval officers went by motor to St. Johns to arrange his reception there.

They had ahard time findiug the room they wanted, but at last they : secured it, and then they went to look for a piano. They found a little "upright,' still sweet, and very reasonable, bemuse it was not up to date at all. Then the girl and the teacher next day went to see the little prospective pianists. They found six children longing to play the piano. So they began with them, the girl giving some of the lessons and her teacher directing a- : . j ti affairs sometimes, and sometimes the young girl doing everything herself. None of the little pupils showed a great deal of talent. They were just nice and teachable and eager to learn. After the lessons had gone on some time the young j girl had an evening musicale, when ! the parents of the children were in vited to hear them play. After that the little pupils got on fasUr.

A River in the Ocean The gulf stream is a river in the ocean.

It then flows northwards up the coast of the United States until it reaches the vicinity of Newfoundland, where it is met by the cold currents 01 the north, and is pushed across the Atlantic. Off the coast i ueiaiiu u is uiviueu into two thousand times more than that of the rivers Amazon or Mississippi. The heat of the gulf stream is enough to raise the temperature of the air over the British Isles and France from zero to an ordinary summer day. Its water is of a dark blue and is quite distinguishable from a boat. The stream is very warm and will melt ice in a eouple of minutes. England and France are farther north than we are, but England and France have ft much warmer climate and it is on account of the gulf stream.

V A D L When you hear that slang ex')ression "you're a brick," passed beI lwwu cuufi 01 auniiring noys, haven't you wondered where the phrase originated? I will tell you. A long time ago, in old Greece, an ambassador once came from Espirus to Sparta and was shown over the capital by the king. He was very much surprised to find no wa2)g aroumi tne city ' . , bire' he exclaimed, turning to le king, "I have visited in Greece, out I nnd no walls for their defense, Why is this?" inaeeu, replied tne king, you wans 01 hparta every man a brick." Thus the Baying originated. Lone Scout, Kyle Snebley. THE LOST FISHERMAN One day men of Gotham went fishing. Some waded in the water and some stood on dry land. On the way home, one man said, "We have been near the water and some of us have been in it. I hope no one is drowned." "Let us count," said another man. "There were twelve of us this morning." They all counted, but each man forgot to count. himself, so each made the number eleven. "Some one Is surely di owned," they said. "Which of us is it?" They asked a man who was riding by on a horse to help them out of their trouble. He laugnted and said, "I will count you." He struck the nearest man over the shoulders with his whip and said, "One." Then he struck the next man and said, "Two! So he went on strik ing them till he had counted twelve. "God bless you!" they said al together. "You have found out tbat we are all safe!"

They were not particularly anxious to see her that day, and finally said, "Well, you can be the maid and this is your day out." Nebraska Awgwan.

Indians Told 1 Why Storms Cease Now we are going to tell you a itory that Indians used to tell their jjhildren. it Is the story of what makes the storm stop. , But first come outside and sit down on the grass where we can

see the growing things. Now tben, here is this little worm the measuring worm. Take a good look . at him. r Notice that he is not half as long as your little fingers sometimes he is longer; and see, he has red and yellow stripes on his green body. Notice, too, how he curves his back upward when he walks. Now, the measuring worm eats the colors out of the grass and flowers, so we say, and the colors come out on his body and make him beautiful. But when he takes the colors out cf the flowers they wither and die. Well, the rainbow is a big measuring worm. For does he not bow nis back upward like that worm, and are not his colors like the colors of the flowers. The rainbow is the chief of all of the measuring worms. There comes the time when the thunderbird and the rattlesnake have a fight up in the above (which, as the story goes makes the storms and rain). But the rainbow, who has been away getting the colors out of the flowers, hears them fighting up there, and all at once he bows his back, walks up on to the cloud and makes them quit. So he makes the storm stop. "Children," old grandfather used to say to us, "you must never point your finger at the rainbow, for an he makes the flowers wither, so he might make your fingers crooked. The rainbow is a grandfather," he used to say, "and you must be respectful toward him; then he will be your friend." In the far-away time, so the story goes a boy was lost in a storm on the desert "Why are you crying my grand child?" a voice said. "I am lost," replied the boy. Tretty soon he saw the rainbow and be knew that it was the rainbow that had spoken to him. "Do not cry," said the rainbow, "for I will help you." Then the rainbow unbent his back, drooped low, and wrapped his beautiful robe around the boy. "My footsteps are sometimes many, many days apart and I know the way." said the rainbow as he arched his back high on the cloud and carried the boy along as a sunbeam carries a speck of dust. Then he unbent, straigntened out, sped away like an arrow. Across the silent spaces of the desert he went, until his shadow fell on a shining lake. It was the Lake of the Smile of the Good Spirit On the shoreof the lake was the boy's home, and' ther he gave him to his father and mother. Farewell," whispered the rainbow, "I hear the wings of the thunder bird. I must go and say to him be still." So be did, and so it was. Lone Scout Riddles 1.
