Miranda,” he said, “what makes these patches pucker?” He got very little satisfaction. Mrs. Spiffledinker only replied, “Don’t ask so many questions, my dear.” After breaking four needles he decided he would finish the patching by hand. Tais he did which he called successful. He glanced down and saw several buttons missing. “Well,” he said, “if I can’t patch shirts on the sewing machine, it’ll be mighty funny if I can’t sew on a button with it.” This was too much for Miranda. She slipped up the stairs and laughingly looked down the register at her husband. He sat down again and turning on the current proceeded to sew on a button. “Bang,” went the sewing machine. “Ouch,” went Mr. Spiffledinker. “Oh! Miranda! Miranda! What a life. That needle has gone through my finger. Oh-h-h!” Miranda ran down the stairs, turned off the current, and set her husband free. “Now,” she said, “it’s time for you to go to the barn. It’s the only place for you. From the far distance rang the echo, “I guess Miranda is right.” Lbs A ees ps ” BONES Bones is the lattice work on witch the body grows. If you didn’t have sum bones you would be shaped like a custard pie. If I didn’t have no bones, I wouldn’t have so mutch shape as I now have, and teacher would be pleased but I like to have mo- tion, ’specially in this pay-as-you-enter suit ma bought for me. If my bones was stuck together with wires in the right places, it would make a skeletum. I am mighty glad my skeletum was put on the inside before I was finished, ’cause it looks better there. There is a grate menny different kinds of bones. There is the crazy bone, the wish bone, the soup bone, the trombone, the bone spavin’ and the backbone. The backbone is — the back bone is sit — the backbone is situ — the backbone is sitch- ervated just inside the peel on the other side from the front side and is filled with rubber. The backbone is made up of humps with places in between where the hump is left out. When your skates fly out in front, and you sit down on the ice, one end of the backbone is at the lowest side of the head, if it don’t puch up through, and the other end is at the upper side of the ice. There is another bone called the skull. The skull has humps, too. Sometimes there is branes on the inside of the skull. Bones don’t grow solid like the limbs on a tree, ’cause they have joints. Joints is good things to have in bones. They grease themselves and don’t squeak. The bones that hold your lungs in are called slates. They run around you, east and west. When bones is ground up fine, they make a good fertilizer. It gives me a lone- some, scattered feeling, and brings tears to my eyes to think that I might be used in an onion patch. Some folks, when living, killed every thing they touched, and it wouldn’t be safe to use the bones of them kind of people for vegetables. nate All’! F2. By 3! Even the woodpecker owes his success to the fact he uses his head and keeps pecking away until he finishes the job he starts. Real men are made of what they get out of themselves, and not out of others.

You take this money. I had intended to buy a pair of beads, but I have so many I really don’t need them. You take this money and get yourself something nourishing to eat and then rest. Tomorrow you will feel better, and more like working.” “How can I ever thank you?” asked the girl. She was thinking of the good lunch she would have and then the coolness of her own room. “l’m glad to do it,” said Betty. The girl left the store. She bought food and went to her room to rest. As she lay between the cool linen sheets, her head stopped throbbing and she dropped off to sleep dreaming of the dark haired girl who had been so kind and thoughtful and she decided that all the people in the world had not become heartless and selfish. M. G. 729 ( { { Pit YELLOW BEADS Jenn Betty Ann tripped lightly into the large Beaths Department store. She was | Very very happy for tonight she was going to an American Legion ball. Betty Ann was ! Vary the daughter of a famous doctor in Woodbury, a town of about ten thousand. i ef One reason for her happiness was that she had a beautiful new yellow georgette i] ‘ : dress, which was very becoming to her fair complexion and her dark hair and eyes. r fel But upon looking in her jewelry box she discovered that she did not have a necklace : j or a pair of beads to match her dress and this was the reason she was hurrying into - Worl the store. Knowing the store well, as she did most of her shopping there, Betty Ann ' Very hurried to the jewelry department. | Lei “T want to look at some yellow beads, please,” said Betty Ann to the girl behind | jc - the counter.

I ! ent just had to come today. I’ve had the flu, but my landlady said if I didn’t pay her i ein Saturday for my room she’d set me out in the street.” j Lear Betty Ann looked at the girl thoughtfully. She was very pale, her eyes were i pur large and looked strained, her hands trembled. i ' ; ' : 4 MR. SPIFFLEDINKER USES THE NEW SEWING MACHINE Mr. Spiffledinker purchased his wife a new electric sewing machine. It had just come the day before, but he imagined his wife should have all the sewing done. He wanted a clean shirt and of course noticed the one lying among the mending which had not been patched. He was bound to have that particular shirt. He said to Miranda his wife, in a gruff tone, “Why haven’t you that shirt patched? You might have known I would want that shirt.” Miranda replied very sweetly, “There are some in the dresser drawer which have been nicely mended.” “But I don’t want them. I want this one. What did I get you that sewing ma- chine for if you aren’t going to use it’ I’ll patch my own shirt.” “Very well, my dear,” said his wife. Mr. Spiffledinker put the current on full blast and started to patch his shirt. “Wang,” went the sewing machine. ‘Chew, chew,” went the thread and finally broke. “Miranda, Miranda,” he yelled, “what’s wrong with this thing?” 6 me ee () cee 0 ee em) ce () cee () LL) ) A () S ) AAD () RA ¢ ) SPEER ( ERD ( ) I ) RRR ¢) ERD) ED ( ) A ( ) EE RD () RC) RR () A () RE () ER ( RN () ER () ED () A () ) A) A) ) A (A ) A) A) OO) a a (a () EC nena SA A) SS) A ANE OSE OG A) A) A) A) AE) A) A) A) AE) AD) AD) ES) ERD) ER) AE) AE) A () AE) A) AD) A) FESR THE CENTERTKA fUgtntatRtaU aU aU aURURURUGs A) A) A) EL) EA) A) A) A ) A) A) A) () ( A ( ( () A () a ( O) ee EEL) A () EE ( ) E-¢ ) A (AN () A C) (AC) C) A () -CANND- () RANNND- () C.
