THEY WANT TO SEE RESULTS
Children, Like Adults, Like to Observe
the Outcome of Their
Labor.
Last summer a farmer reported
that he set for his two little girls the
tusk of cutting out the dandelions
in the doorvard. He was to give
them ten cents a square rod. They
worked at times during one day and
then gave it up, discouraged, declar
ing they could hardly set* the effects
of their work. They did about ten
cents' worth.
Recently a windstorm scattered
little twigs from the trees all over
this farmer's yard. These would in
terfere with the lawn mower, so an
other bargain was made with the
girls. This time he offered them
five cents for each basketful of twigs,
and the girls proudly announced
that there were no more twigs to he
found. Each received a bright nickel
and raced away to put it in her little
bank. The father made a hurried
inspection of the yard, and, sure
enough, they had gathered all the
sticks. Then they built a fire with
the twigs and while the girls watched
the flames he reasoned on their work.
It simmered down to this: It was
hard to see where the dandelions had
come out of the big yard, but it was
easy to see the sticks accumulated in
the basket. He would try dande
liorft again the new way. A bargain
was struck at ten cents a bushel for
cutting dandelions and, sure enough,
they made them fly. They could see
results then. That was the secret.
We all like to see results whether it
is in making an income from the
furm or picking up sticks. —Breed-

FLUFFY WHITE SEALS SEEN
Everybody Who Looked at Them at
Moss Beach Says They Were
the Real Thing.
1
The silly summer season is over,
so there are no more sea serpents be
ing discovered hereabouts. In fact,
that hasn’t been done for several
summers, although it used to be
quite pornme de terrc.
Fall and winter styles in the un
usual were provided by the sight on
the reefs of two snow-white seals.
They sported in the rushing surf all
day and looked as though they were
going to remain for the night. They
were the white of the polar bear, but
more fluffy. In the memory of the
oldest inhabitant no white seals have
been sighted in this vicinity before.
It may be many years before any
are seen again.
But they were seen recently. As
one of the Moss Beach wits remarked
to a citizen who arrived home after
dark and who expressed incredulity:
“Well, everybody that looked at
’em saw ’em.”—Moss Beach Dispatch
San Francisco Chronicle.
LAND FOR SOLDIERS.
A recent publication of the Do
minion department of immigration
shows that only 144.789 immigrants
arrived in Canada during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1915. From
Great Britain there were 42,276, as
compared with 42,622 in the previ
ous year, and from the United States
59,779, as compared with 107,530 in
1913-14. The problem of immigra
tion after the war is already being
discussed in Canada and Great Brit
ain, and plans are under considera
tion for the settlement of returned
soldiers on the vacant lands of the
Dominion of Canada as well as of
other oversea countries of the British
empire.
HOME CANNING INDUSTRIES.
“Mv wife wasn’t able to use up
half the material she bought for can
ning and bottling purposes. She’s
all in a jam about her jam.”
“Mine is in the same fix. She’s
trying to catch up with her catch
up”

GIRL WAS TOO SUSPICIOUS
And as a Result She Is Out Three
Pounds of Perfectly Good
Candy.
Wouldn’t it make you feel joyful
if after allowing your thoughts to
linger over the sweetest peach in the
orchard of love and you admitted the
soft impeachment by blowing in
three good iron dollars for a box of
sweets. And not caring to trust the
mails with the precious stuff, you
sent it by special messenger. After
giving the boy time to reach the
house you picture the peach receiv
ing the package all aglow, and imag
ine her chirping, “the dear boy.”
Those were the sweet dreams of a
young man who sent bis best girl
a box of candy. And this is how the
young woman received it: She han
dled the package rather gingerly,
then she grew suspicious and finally
frightened. “It is a bomb,” she ex
claimed, and still believing it was,
she ran with flu* package to a nearby
police station, where it' was placed
in a pail of water. After fifteen
minutes of soaking it was removed.
The young woman waited until it
was opened, and she saw it was a
three-pound box of chocolates and a
card on top reading, “Sweetest
Thoughts From Morris.” Of course
the candy wasn’t much good as candy
after its soaking, so the young wom
an cried. Morris’ feelings have not
been recorded as yet. —New York

STRONG DESERVE THE FAIR.
“To the strong the fair,” com
mented Judge Morgan in granting a
divorce to Duke B. Lee, a strong
man in a circus, from Elizabeth Lee,
a bareback rider.
Lee testified he was married in
New York in 1911. Shortly after
ward, he said, his wife became ac
quainted with Lee Sampson, who, he
admitted, was stronger than he, and
was, in fact, second to none but the
Biblical Samson.
“As soon as she discovered that
Sampson was stronger than l she left
me for him,” said Lee. “She is still
with him.”—San Francisco Dispatch
Los Angeles Herald.
WHERE SHE WORSHIPS.
“I see where the sacred • mirror
plays a prominent part in the coro
nation ceremonies of the Japanese
emperor,” said Dubwaite.
“Sacred mirror, eh?” replied
Twomble. “My wife has one.”
“Nonsense!’’
“Yes, she has. It’s on her dress
ing table.”
NATURAL RESULT.
“What did your friend do when he
found out he had been chasing a
rainbow ?”
“He turned colors.”
THE OBJECTION.
“Do you believe in taxing bache
lors ?”
“Certainly not. I’m no single tax
crank.”
APPROPRIATE CUSTOM.
“So these two society girls are to
open a fashionable dairy. Where
will they get patronage?”
“From the cream of society.”
