VETERAN FISHERMEN I'.y Ailelia l'.elle Heard They don't use fishing pole or tackle, these veteran fishermen, and they catch no more fish than is needed for themselves and their families. From that you may know they are not men. There is a little, brown veteran of Manitoba, the North Woods, and Yellowstone Park named Mink, who is worth watching if you have a chance to see nun. lie is only about two feet Ions and his wife is smaller, hut they can fish. Il' has a white chin, a Ions, bushy tail and short legs, and belongs to Weasel family. When he fishes he is apt to the set(le himself on a convenient rock in mid-stream and there await the coining of a fat. trout or delect able salmon the best is none too good for him. Then suddenly he "will dive and come up with a good sized fish in his mouth, half his own length, perhaps. When he regains his fooling on the rock he lays the fish down and quickly stops its struggles by a sharp bite at the back of its head. You may sometimes trace another veteran fisherman, called Otter, by the broken shells of the shell fish, of which lie is very fond, lie leaves tie- scattered fragments on the banks of streams .nd lakes and among lie- rocks. His coat, also, is ol brown fur, and it is so valuable that, in Older to prevent men from taking it from him, he hides away near secluded lakes or water courses, far from human habilaiions. lb is alntost twice Size I HSVii MINK THE VF.TERAN FISHERMAN of Fisherman Mink, being often forty inches long, and looks something like a seal when he is partly in the water. Fisherman Otter is the champion of all the veterans who wear fur. No fish is too swift for him, none too adroit. He is an expert swimmer as well as fisherman and he darts about under water with wonderful speed. lie dives, swims or floats as occasion requires and he always catches his fish.

How to Use Maps I'.y Herman T. L'ikens. Francis W. Parker Sclwrt In order to image the country repn senled by a map, you may think of yourself in an airplane and looking straight down at each part as you pass over it. Where the lnaji has round dots you will see the haze and smoke of citiies and steam cars, with boats on the lakes and rivers. In place of the crooked black lines you will imagine the silvery threads of distant rivers w inding their courses always downward toward the sea. liy the direction of the rivers you can tell the slope ol the land. When you look up a place on a map, do not merely read the printed name; but rathei note the ! landmarks as you would if you j visited the place and wanted to j recognize it t!w next time you go I there. Thus, note the bends of the j Mississippi at the mouth of the Missouri and the Illinois above St. Louis. Cape Cod will identify I Masachusc tts and the While Mounj tains will identify New Hampshire. I When Traveling, a really good road map will answer many more questions than the most detailed road directions: --What railroad is that over on the right? What river are we crossing? What does it. empty into? What is the next town we c.omo to? How large is it? How far is it from here? Do we turn before coming to it? Does our road follow the river? Is the road hilly or level ahead? When do we cross the state line? Some maps show even the .oil and rock format ions, with the mines and quarries. I To learn the map of any area,1 draw it with all Hie features shown but without names; then, with, some friend, go over this blank map, pointing out every place by its landmarks. j To measure distancees on a map,; mark the scale of miles on a strip of paper that you can apply to any part of the map. 1 : 1 1 s ' and Cirl.s' Newspa per Kerviev Copyi ilit. !!!!, hy ,J.

He's just a mongrel pup, And would have frozen on the streets Had I not picked him up; His tail don't run quite true to form, His breed could not be guessed, One ear droops down dejectedly As though it needs a rest. i Hut HE don't ask nie where I fought, J What medals I have won. ' j Nor bask in the reflection j Of courageous things I've done; He simply takes mo as I am j Though I be down or up The love of Homeo is the same, God bless my mongrel pup! Our Dumb Animals.

,ji ADVENTURES THAT MADE'AN'AMERICAN Hunting Eye Tries to Vote Hy is. S. Alexander "Are you trying to vote, sonny?" a kindly faced old gentleman asked the question of our little Indian friend. Hunting Lye had seen a line ol men in front of a booth and had taken his place at the end of the line to find out what they were going to do. "Vote?" asked Hunting Eye. . "Yes, vote." answered the old gentleman. "We have to have certain oflicers like the judge, the sheriff, and the governor to make and enforce the laws. Among your people your chief does it all and he is chosen either because he is the best fighter or the son of a chief. But among us these oflicers are elected by the people for whom they make and enforce the laws. ' When a judge is to be elected, the persons in the county who want to be judge send in their names. The names are put on a piece of paper called a ballot. These persons are called candidates. Then the people from all! over the county come to a booth like this and mark on the ballot the name of the candidate they want to elect. That is voting." They came to the door of the booth. A clerk handed Hunting Eye a ballot and he was just going to follow his kind old friend when a man standing near called out, "Here you can't vote. (let out. I'll put you in jail for such tricks." "Why can't 1 vote?" "You're not 1 years old. Only men over 21 can vote. Also a man must he a citizen of this county to vole ami you aren't a citizen, j Move on and let tin; others vote."' As the Indian Hoy lelt the biAilh: he thought of the strange customs of these people. Among his people the old men about the council lire decided questions and made rules. Hut here all but the very youngest braves sat at the council and helped make the laws. Hunting Eye had many things to think about as he continued his journey toward the east. 1. Why v ( it ien ? J.

i.rT..TJtaraareT.n Does the Self-Starter Start? Ity tract M. Hyde I "Why doesn't the self-starter iu , the car work t'n:s morning, Dad? I stepped hard on the button and nothing happencu." ; "No current. I guess, sonny. Ituttory is low." I "What has the battery got to do with it?" "A self-starter, my boy, is nothing more nor less than a powerful little electric motor which runs on storage battery current and which revolves the engine shaft. Until a few years ago all cars had to be cranked by hand, because a gasoline engine, no matter how powerful it is, will not start of itself like a steam engine someone must crank, or turn the engine shaft, until the charges in the cylinders begin to fire. Now the crankingh is done by little electric motors called starters. "In our car the electric motor is beside the engine's fly wheel so that, when you press the starter button, you not only switch on the current but push the motor shaft into gear with the fly wheel. On other cars the motor is geared by chains, friction clutches, or in other ways, to the engine shaft. "To supply current for the starter motor, as well as the lights, electric horn, and ignition in the engine spark-plugs, modern cars have a generator which makes electric current whenever the engine is running. The current which it creates is stored in the storage battery ready for use at other times. "When the starter doesn't start, it is usually because we have used so much current with starter or lights that we have almost exhausted the supply in the battery. Sometimes the battery is wearing out, for they seldon last more than two years. Sometimes one of the battery wires usually the positive terminal -is loose or corroded. And it may be other things, but if is usually because the battery needs charging." Roys' and (tills' Newspaper Servi. e CV.pyiiKht, 1D10, hy J. II. Millar EXCHANGE COLUMN Open to All Boyi and Girls.
