HINTS FOR THE
BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Adjustable Trundle Bed With
Openwork Hood.
The Illustration herewith shows n
new trundle bed which is designed
either for the tiniest of new babies or
for one who has reached the dignity
of three or four years.
It can be rolled at night so that the
little bed is suspended above the foot
of mother’s bed. just at a comfortable
height where she can sit up in bed if
the baby needs her attention and care
for him without getting out of bed.
Wheu he is ready to go to sleep again
she fastens the openwork hood over
him and knows tbnt he is ns safe as
though he were 4n her arras.
If there is any draft in the room,
a blanket thrown over the hood keeps
it away from the baby. If there Is a
stray fly or mosquito, a netting cnn
be thrown over the bood.
In the daytime the trundle bed can
be rolled out on the porch. It cnn be
adjusted to vnrious heights and can
be put into easily transportable shape
like a collapsible gocart

FOR THE CHILDREN
Visiting.
I went to visit Seth and Paul and little
Theodore.
It was a very pleasant time; I stayed
from one till four.
I think I acted mannerly, for when I
came away
The lady who Is mother there said, "Come
again some day."
X walked till 1 was almost home, and then
I could not wait.
For there was mother standing just Inside
the little gate.
The windows and the wide front door
seemed smiling down at me.
There was a very friendly look about the
apple tree.
The cat came rubbing at my feet; she
had not changed at all.
The hollyhocks looked happy, nnd the
roses on the wall.
The little chickens chirped nnd scratched
about our bantam hen.
Tlje lovely part of visiting is coming
home again!

Marble Games.
Every boy likes to play a good game
of murbles. Here is one that perhaps
you do not know. Do you know one
called "bounce eyeV” It is played by
several boys, each of whom puts down
n marble in a small ring. One player
then stands in a perpendicular posi
tion over the cluster of marbles, and.
taking bis own bounce in his hnnd.
lets It fall from bis eye on to the heap,
and. those forced out of the ring by
this method nre considered won. If
be does not succeed In tills nnd his
marble falls within the ring, it belongs
to the common stock and is there im
pounded.
There is another game called “con
queror,” which is extensively played
in some places. A piece of bard
ground, free from stones, is chosen for
the spot. The first player lays bis
marble on the ground, and the second
throws bis own at it with all bis force
and endeavors to break it. If he suc
ceeds bis marble counts one and the
vanquished player lays down another
marble. If two players have marbles
that have already vanquished others
the "couqueror” counts all the con
quered of the other party in addition
to bis own. For example, suppose A,
being conqueror of twenty, breaks B,
also a conqueror of tweuty, A counts
forty-one—1. e., twenty of his own,
twenty of the vanquished belonging to
B and one for B.
Taking Pictures.
It is uecessury to nave two persons
know how to play this game. Some
code signal is agreed upon to help dis
tinguish the original of the picture.
One of the two leaves the room,
while the other takes the picture of
another of the guests, which is done
by bolding a spoon or some article
with a polished surface before the
guest's face whose picture is to be
tnkeu.
When this is done the one outside
is called in. given the article used to
take the picture, told to look at it nnd
tell whose likeness It is. In n short
time it is guessed correctly. This is
repeated with the same result, causing
much surprise among tne guests.
Should any oue of those whose pic
tures are being taken think be sees
through the methods employed be may
have a trial, but in all probability will
fall.
The trick Is that the "photographer”
assumes exactly the same attitude as
that of the person whose picture he
has taken.
The Song Sparrow.
The song sparrow is one of the birds
that build their nests on the ground.
Do you know him—a little bird,' gray
and brown streaked above and n white
brenst covered with brown spots nnd
stripes? Have you seen him sitting on
a fence or bush and henrd his rollick
ing song? The song spnrrow is com
mon all over the United States. From
Maine to California and from Oregon
to Florida he sings happily six months
out of the year. A regular scout, he
sneaks along the side of a stream and
appears at a distance like magic. He
is equally skillful Ir. hiding his nest.
Completely covered by a tuft of grass,
we would almost step on it before we
found it We may truly wonder how
the song spnrrow can find It himself,
but perhaps his eyes nre brighter than
ours. The four or five eggs are small
nud heavily spotted with brown, so
that they, too, are hard to see.
Some Left.
Lives of fishermen remind us
That If the big onea never got away
There would be none left behind us
For us to lie about another day.

Texas on the Good Roads Wagon.
The use of the automobile in Texas
has caused a demand for better roads.
It has taught the farmers to see the
saving in having good roads nnd road
improvement, and road building is go
ing on in nearly every community.
Texas will have one of the longest
automobile roads in the United States
when a few unfinished links nre com
pleted. This road will extend from
Houston to Brownsville by tlie way of
Corpus Christ!, Kingsville nnd inter
mediate points. Connecting with tills
at Corpus Christi will be nnother road
to San Antonio. This will be completed
the coming summer.
