Shackleton's Yacht, Quest, Is Small To tiio group of famous little ships will now have to bo added that of Sir Ernest Shackleton Quest. In this ship, two weeks ago the explorer set sail from Southampton, England, on a two years' journey of exploration. The Quest wa3 built In Norway where she sailed under the name of Foca as a general trader. Her history the change from a plain wooden trading vessel to a famous little ship bound on a most romantic journey is as great as the changes In the fortunes of Cinderella or Sindbad the Sailor. She is a little wooden hulled vessel and when ready for sea, will be rigged as a topsail schooner; that is she will carry a yard and square topsail on the formast besides her two large fore-and-aft sails. She also has a triangular lorestay sail and jib. Steam engines are on board, too, to give her power in case of calms or contrary winds. Sir Ernest has chosen a verse
from a poem by Rut yard Kipling as a motto for his journey and has had it engraved and placed beneath the bridge of the Quest. The verse he has chosen follows: If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim; if you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat these two imposters just the same Surely this an expressive motto lor a vessel bound on such a journey as Is the Quest. "OH, MOTHER," ASKED MARY "Oh, Mother," said Mary, "what ever can I get for lunch today? You said I might get the lunch, but there are so few things I know how to cook. I can't think of a thing." "How would you like to try cheese souffle," Mrs. Miller asked. It s easy to make and is sure to he good If you follow the directions." "Oh, that would be lovely. Dad is just crazy about it, too. Tell me how to do it." "Well, first you melt two tablespoons of butter in the double boiler, then blend In three tablespoons of flour, and half a cup of hot milk, three fourths of a cup of grat ed cheese, a half teaspoon of salt, and a speck of pepper. As soon as 'he cheese melts take it off the llarue and add the beaten yolks of

three eggs. Beat the whiles real stiff and put them in last. Then' put in the buttered baking dish, place tho dish in a pan of hot wa-,
ter, and put in a moderate oven to bake. This' will take about 20 minutes. Don't have the oven too hot." "I won't. It's a golden brown when it's done. Isn't it?" "I'll bet yours won't be as good as Mother's," Rob said. "Hers just melts in jour mouth like soapsuds." "Well, mine will taste better than soap-suds, anyway," retorted Mary as she started for the kitchen. A RIDDLE I'm a littlo patch of red Sometimes green or blue Instead; I am one of many, many million brothers. Though we start our life In groups, Itank on rank, like army troops. In the end we're separated from the others. As we journey far or near, You may think it rather queer That we travel altogether "on our face." Not a hand or foot to aid, Yet we "stick" all undismayed, Tough our baggage bumps around from place to place. You may buy us if you choose, We are servants made to use, And for a tiny coin you'll receive: A portrait known to fame, Figures, letters, a small frame, And a bit of sweet potato, I believe. We will run a mile or two, Take-a message swift for you; You may send our bigger brothers round the earth. We are merry little tramps (Yes, of course, we're postage stamps) From New York to Spain, from Taraguay to Perth! Christian Science Monitor. Remarkable Discovery. has been discovered lately the great artist, Rembrandt, It that before painting his pictures wrote capital ll's and full signatures many times over his canvas. These were covered over by the painting and have only lately been brought to light by the X-ray. The discovery was made by Mr. Francis H. Clarke, an English art critic, lie gives as an explanation that Rembrandt needed a means of detecting fraudulent works dishonestly sold as his own, and believes that the artist would be very much surprised today to know that his secret has been discovered.

GIRLHOOD STORIES OF FAMOUS WOMEN Sarah Bernhardt Because Sarah was ordered by her father to be sent to a convent in France when she was seven years old, she flow into a terrible rage which she later recounts: "The idea that I was to be ordered about without any regard to my own wishes or inclinations put me into an indescribable rage. 1 rolled about on the ground uttering the most heart-rending cries. 1 yelled out all kinds of reproaches, blaming mania, my aunts, and Mme. Freasard for not finding some way to keep me with them. The strue gle lasted two hours, and while I was being dressed, I escaped twice Into the garden and attempted to climb the trees and threw myself into the pond. Finally, when I was completely exhausted and subdued, I was taken off sobbing in my aunt's carriage." This scene is typical of the thorough way in which Sarah Bernhardt did all things. Her strong emotions helped make her the famous actress who has played all over Europe and America. The Empty Nest In the spring the oriole sang: "See me! see me! see! I am going to hang a nest In this tall elm tree. It will be a cradle safe For the wind to sway Back and forth back and forthAll the summer day." In the autumn little birds Spread their wings for flight With their mother for the South One October night. Back and forth back and forth Swings the empty nest. Where these birds were cradled soft 'Neath their mother's breast. Helen M. Richardson. The apples in the orchard were falling faster than they could be used and the stores would not buy them because they were not sound. My brother and I picked up some after school and peeled them with an apple peeler. Then with a sharp knife we cut out the bad parts and sliced the apples thin. The next morning we spread a

sheet on the roof over the kitchen and put the apples out to dry. They dried in two days ami when we gathered them we put them in pans in the oven for a tew minutes until they were heated through. Then we put them in a clean Hour sack and tied them up tightly. In December we sold them at a grocery store at 10 cents a pound and got a dollar apiece. Warren Raley, age. 10. Our Doq;s Shep's Life. I was born on a farm near Pilger, Neb. My name is Shep. When I was three months old 1 was taken away from my mother and given to another farmer near Norfolk, Neb. I regretted the loss of my mother, but I had a good home. I liked to chase jackrabbits, but they were too fast lor me to catch. After living in this happy place two years my master moved. In moving we had to cross a railroad track. I was a distance behind the wagon. My master crossed, but as I was about to cross a train rushed in front of me. I lost sight of my master and for a week I wandered around, living on what I could find to eat. At last, discouraged, I walked up to a farm house, and to my surprise, it was my master's. I was given a good meal and had a long sleep. Last summer I was taught to bring in the cows. I bring them in every morning and night to be milked. Marion Gingerieh. SILVER Silver is found within the earth, Says my geography. I know a dozen places more, As plain as plain can be. There's silver in the poplar leaves That shimmer in the breeze, There's silver in a vessel's wake At night, on moonlit seas. The sparkling drops on morning lawns, Which grown-ups know as dew,. Are silver, like the fountain spray That shines the whole day through. There's silver in a forest pool, A rippling brook, a star; With silver, silver everywhere, Why should one dig afar?

WORLD EVENTS in BRIEF After a delay of about a month a new conference has been planned for Oct. 11 and Mr. Lloyd George, prime minister of England has sent a letter to Eamon DeValera asking him as the leader of a large part of the Irish, to meet with him io London to discuss their relations and try to make definite plans for peace. Austria and Hungary cannot agree as to what part of Burgenl.ind each country shall have. Groups of people capable of discussing the question will meet and examine the rights of the quarrel and will try to settle it without going to war about it. Austria's food supply is very low and so is the ! value of her money. The delay lover the Burgenland question is ; only adding to her problems. The senate will have to consider the peace treaties and agree upon them before the revenue bill can be brought up for final consideration. Portugal has been invited to attend the discussion of disarmament in which representatives of many nations will take part and which will meet in Washington on Armistice day.

Some very old and very interesting ruins have been discovered in two canons something like 100 miles from Holbrook, Arizona, to the north. One of these is named Antelope Ruin because on one of the walls of the main building of the group of old stone structures. Is drawn the picture of an antelope. Here, too, are drawings of chiefs and warriors, women, children and animals, as well as many symbols. It is thought that the tribes of people who lived there centuries ago, were superior to the Navajo and Hopl Indians of the present day, nut no one really knows anything about these early pioneers. Capitol's Juniors Like Trees. rupils in the schools of Wash ington, D. C, were interested in trees. In 1919, many of the capitol's children took part in a cam paign against bagwornis. That year they gathered 17,000 of these destructive little worms. In 1920, they saw results of their vigorous work the year before, for in the second year they gathered only 450 worms from the same trees.
