The Damaged Heirloom
BOY SCOUTS HIKE
Boy Scouts of Troop 5 enjoyed
a hike Friday evening. They left
the Y. M. C. A. at 6 o'clock and took their supper with them. They
planned to build a camp fire and
cook part of their suppers. Scout
master Perry Wilson accompanied
me Doys.
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN Landlord You say you've been
hearing suspicious noises around
your apartment. What did they sound like? Tenant They sounded like heat in the radiators, but of course it
couldn't have been that. Judge.
"Be sure to shut all the windows
if it rains, and don't let anybody touch the heirloom," called back Aunt Esther as she left for a day
in the city.
Edith went back into the living room and scowled at the beautiful
Wedgewood pitcher on the mantle, the one that for years had been honored its the family "heirloom." Aunt Esther proudly boasted that it was worth a hundred dollars. Edith did not doubt it in the least. Had it not been a wedding present for her great grandmother, who was a descendant of William the Conqueror? As Edith gazed upon the pitcher her expression changed to one of admiration. She realised its real beauty more than ever before. She rebelled again at the fact that she had been forbidden to touch it. This time she was almost willing to defy the order. Takes it Down. "It couldn't hurt," she argued to
herself. "It is a shame I have never been allowed to hold it. No one will ever know the difference if I do." She hesitated for a moment, then stepped cautiously to the mantle and lifted the pitcher down. Her hands trembled slightly. She set it on the floor and sat down to admire it. Indeen, it was a beautiful heirloom. How proud she was! What was that noise outside? She looked up and saw that a heavy shower had suddenly started. Thinking of the open windows, she jumped up at once. No, she must first place the pitcher back on the shelf. In her hurry she bumped it slightly against the woodwork and gasped to see a little chip had been knocked out of the edge. It looked as big as a cavern to her. She was horrified. j Edith Confesses. Immediately she forgot all about
the rain and started feverishly to search for the chip, in the hope that she could stick it back with a bit of glue. But it was nowhere to
be found. The rest of the day was
miserable for Edith.
When Aunt Esther opened the door thai evening,' Edith burst into
tears. For a long time she would
not tell what was wrong. Finally
she confessed. Heavy sobs broke
her words as she told her story.
"Why, you poor child, it's too bad that you should havo cried
about that. Your great-grand
mother was so excited on her wedding day that she bumped the
pitcher against a table. It has al ways had that nick."
LET IT BE A ROSE Seven-year-old Johnnie returned
from school with a flower in his hand and, proudly displaying it to his mother, said: "Mamma, look at the rose Mary gave me." Johnnie's mother correctively replied, "John, that is not a rose; it is a chrysanthemum. You should know better, son." "Well, Mary said it was a rose," the youngster quickly answered, and then he said: "Mother, .how do you spell chrysanthemum?" j "It's a rose," she almost interrupted. Indianapolis News. i

Make Friends with Chipmunks
If you live near or in the open
country, try making friends with
the chipmunk. The best way to
do this is to let them live In their own way out-of-doors, and show yourself friendly by feeding them
and letting them slowly get accustomed to you and to know you do not intend to hurt them. Sometimes people have made such
friends with this cunning little striped animal that they come and go into theset people's houses at will and find the little bowls of
nuts left around for them. ,

A JOKE ON GRANDPA Grandpa Oscar Nicholson of Greensfork, fell down stairs and sprained his ankle. That night grandpa went to bed and after awhile his ankle began to hurt very bad, so he got up and put some supposed-to-be liniment on it. Then it got easy and grandpa went back to bed. The next morning he looked at his ankle and it was all black. He called grandma and she said he was mortifying and wanted to send for the doctor, but in looking for the liniment she found grandpa had used black ink instead. Good-bye. Howard Brooks, Rkhmond, Ind.

. WHAT MAKES AN ECHO? An echo is really a very simple thing, and, as soon as you know' what sound is, you can almost answer the question for yourself.
Sound is a wave in the air, and anything which will stop that wave and send it back again without altering its shape will make an echo. It is really much the same as the waves of the sea striking against a breakwater and coming back again. If the waves get broken up so that, instead of coming back as they went, they come back irregularly; then you will not hear a distinct echo, just as you will not see your face in a mirror unless it is smooth. So the places where you get the best echoes are places where the sound waves are thrown back exactly as they came, Just as the light waves are thrown back from a mirror. To make an echo, however, we must be standing far enough away from the wall, or whatever it is that throws the waves back, to give the ear time to hear the sound itself, and then to hear the waves as they come back.
