They don't agree-- pot at all. But a few standard means | of turning tricks into applause stand out. Common every day acts dome in unexpected and ridicnlous fashion or at an unusual time, ridiculous things | when something sober would be | looked for, are raw material used by [ clowns. To appreciate a joke or a funny stunt the spectator must be able to link it up with some fact in his own experience. It is for this reason that clowns do common things in _ uncommon ways. 'There "is something funny in thoughtlessness. too. The clown-- or the boy--who tries to be funny ang thinks about it seriously is likely to be classed as one_who "acts smart." Innocent ignorance, simple foolishness and seeming lack of headwork are clownish traits. Com- bined with good humor they "take." | Watch your clown friend Hg "doesn't know anything," does he? Real clowns are like jokes--they turn up only once in a while. The Clan of " North America Purina . Calf Chow Diff Is Different. Yes, it's unlike any calf meal on the market. It's different because it's better. Every ingredient is a pure feed of recognized value, no "phony" products of unknown worth. It does not con tain anise, or any appetizer. Calves eat it as greedily. as they do whole milk. i It does not scour; blood flour is one of the impsartant ingredients, which insures freedom from scours. Easy t 5 feed, no boiling, just mix with warm water, It is balanced just like whole milk. Calves thrive from the first on Purina Calf Chow and it keeps them making gains without sickly periods. It is used by many of the best dairy farms in the country to raise the finest calves. 6th. But it is cheap enough to use on any ~ calf, costs less than half as much as milk feeding. So easy to feed that boys or_ girls are asenred of success. > 3 Wholesale and Retail Distributors. 'W. P. PETERS Wholesale . ..........e.eneee. .

"It shows," he said, "that, after pay- | ing for the rent of the land, after paying for the labor that was used in | the farming and gardening work, and { the extra expenses for teaming, we | have only spent ong thousand dollars | of the two thous dollars that we | borrowed. Gardener John has nat only fed the camp, but has sold vege- tables to the extent ©f six hundred dollars beside. Martha has sold $200 worth of jams and jellies. "We've got an offer of $2,000 for tHe buildings, and we've got an offer to have the Camp Ground next year at an even lower figure. If we decide 'not to go back, we can clear more than a thousand dollars over and above all we've spent.

"We've depended on no one but our- selves, we've had all the fun in the world, we haven't had any serious trouble of any kind, and we've made good. The High School Boys and the High School Girls, of Juventon have shown that, with proper training and preparation, they can organize and run a community as well as any adults in any city of the Union." And,, with three cheers for next year, the Campers dissolved for the winter. (The End) mn ee tty. i : Miss C.

He went to the door, opened it softly, and passed out into the night. The moon was above him, like a great, white disc. The sky burned with stars. He could see now to the foot of the ridge. over which Mukoki had gone, and the clearing about the cabin lay in a cold and luminous glory. Tavish if he had been caught in'the twilight darkness and had waited for .the moon to rise, would be showing up soon. He walked to the side of thé Cahlfi and looked back. Quite distinctly he could ses Tavish"s meat, suspended from a stout sapling that Jrojeeied straight out from under thé edge of" the roof. It hung there darkly, a little in shadow, swinging gently in "The LINDSAY PLAYER PIANO will make you a great piano player --a master of the piano, able to play classical and popular music, accompanying other instruments or singing.

Kingston the wind that had risen, and tap-tap- tapping against the logs. David moved, toward it, gazing at the edge of the forest in which he thought he had heard a sound that was like the creak of a sledge runner. He hoped it was Tavish returning. For several moments he listened with his back to the cabin. Then he turned. He was very close to the thing hanging from the sapling. It was swinging plightly. The moon shone on it, a then-- Great God! A face--a human face! A face, bearded, with bulging, star- ing eyes, gaping mouth--a grin of agony frozen init! And it was tap- ping, tapping, tapping! "He staggered back with a dreadful cry. He swayed to the door, groped . blindly for the latch, stumbled in clumsily, like a-drunken man. The horror of that lifeless, grinning face was in his voice. He had awakened the Missioner, who was sitting up staring at him.. "Tavish . . ." cried David, chok- ingly; "Tavish--ig dead!" and he pointed to the end af the cabin whera they could hear that tap-tap-tapping against the log wall, ~\¢ Chapter XII. Not until afterward did David real- ize how terribly his announcement of Tavish's'death must have struck into the soul of Father Roland. For a few seconds the Missioner did not move. He was wide awake, he had heard and yet he looked at David dumbly, his two hands gripping his blanket. When he did move, it was to turn his face slowly toward the. end of the cabin where the thing was hanging, with.only the wall between. Then, still slowly, he rose to his feet. * David thought he had only half understood. '"Tavish---is dead!" he repeatad huskily, straining to swallow the thickening in his throat. "He is out there--hanging by his neck--dead!" . "Dead! He emphasized the word --spoke it twice. 4 Father Roland still did not an- swer! He was getting into his clothes mechanically, his face curi- ously ashen, his eyes neither horri- fied nor startled, but with a stunned look In them. He did not speak when he went to the door and out into the night. David followad, and in a moment they stood close to the thing that was hanging where Tav- ish's meat should have been. The moon threw a vivid sort of spotlight on it. It was grotesque and horrible ----very bad to look at, and unfor- gettable. Tavish had not died 2asily. He seemed to shriek that fact at them as he. swung there dead; even now he seemed mora terrified than cold. His teeth gleamed a little. That, perhaps, was the worst of it all. And his hands were :lenched tight. David noticed that. Nothing seem- 2d relaxed about him. Not until he had looked at Tavish' for perhaps sixty full seconds did Father Roland speak. He had recov- ered himself, judging from his voice. li} It was quiet and unexcited. But in his first words, unemotional as they wera, there was a significance that was almost frightening. "At last! The Elephant-Nosed Shrew And the Memory-Maon said, Some Kaffir hunters, having only caught a little small game, saw a storm coming and ran into,a hut for shelter. Soon the owner of the hut came, It was a Snake. "You are my prisoners," said the Snake. "You must give the game you have caught to your dogs, to eat, so that. they may get fat, then you must eat your dogs, so that you may be fat, and that I shall eat you." But an Elephant-nosed Shrew, lit- tle bigger than a mouse, desiripg to save the hunters, came to the 'door and squeaked: "That is cleverly said, O snake, and when you have got fat, I will eat you." . Which impudent remark so an- gered -the snake that he writhed out of the hut to chase the Shrew, who slipped into his hole, this giving the hunters a chance to escape. "Ah," said the Shrew, when he was safe in his hole, "if your spirit had been as big as your body, O Snake, you would have ignored the taunts of anyone as small as I am."

He has not been long dead. He hang- ed himself, I should say, not mora than half an hour before we reached the cabin. Give me a hand, David!" With a mighty effort Davidspulied himself together. After all, it was nothing more than a dead man hang- ing thera. But his hands were like ice as he seized hold of it A knife gleamed in the moonlight over Tav- ish's head as the Missioner cut the rope. They lowered Tavish to the snow, and David went into the cabin for a blanket. Father Roland wrap- ped tle blanket carefully about the body sa that it would not freeze to ths ground. Then they entered the cabin. The Missionar threw off his coat. and built up the fire. When he turned he seemed to notice for the first time the deathly pallor in David's face. Day.
