BILLY PIG'G VACATION—Part 11.
•'Hood morning," said the dog as he
came up to Billy Pig: "aren’t you out
early? Have you had your break
laid?" he naked without waiting for an
answer to Ids first question.
"No, I Imve not had any breakfast,"
answered Hilly Pig. "I am very hun
gry and tired, for 1 have traveled all
night."
"Home with me and 1 will show you
how you can get your breakfast; I
have nail mine," said the dog.
Billy I'tg took Ids bundle and fol
lowed Mr. Dog along the road until
they came to a farm house.
"There, jump In that window," said
Mr. Dog. ‘and you will find plenty of
all kinds of food."
They were standing in front of an
opemvlndow and Billy Pig looked up
hi it anil then he said lo Mr. Dog:
"You don’t lexpeet me to steal my
break fust, do you ?"
"No. Just take It," said Mr. Dog.
“Go ahead and jump In. I'll boost
you!"

No." said Billy Dig. "I never stole
anything In my life amt 1 cannot begin

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
FOR HOMEMAKERS OF TOMOR
ROW.
(By Philander t\ Olaxton. United
Slates Commissioner of the Bu
reau of Education).
Thrift depends more upon habit
and on mental attitude than on any
particular body of knowledge It
will, therefore, be difficult to prepare
any definite outline for a course of
Instruction on the subject In the
schools. The question Is civics and
thrift are closely allied
There Is need of suitable, educative,
purposeful, productive occupation for
millions of school children in our
cities, towns, manufacturing villages,
and suburban districts who now have
no proper employment out of school
hours
In these places we have approxi
mately thirteen million children be
tween the ages of ti and 20. Probably
five per cent of these children nre
away from home during the summer
vacation months with their parents
About eigty-ftve per cent remain at
home without proper employment for
any large part of their time
A large majority belong to families
the members of which must earn their
living by their daily labor and whoee
earnings are so meager that anything
that ean he added by the children Is
much needed. Maip of Uisui are cold

“My pajamas,” replied Billy Pig.
“That is all 1 have left of my
clothes.”
“Let me see them." said Mr. Dog.
Hilly Pig handed the bundle to Mr.
Dog. "That is a fine looking suit,"
he sahl. "I wish I could try them on,"
"You * an. but they will be too small
for you," said Billy Pig. a
Mr. Dog put on the pajamas ;ld
Billy Pig laughed when he saw how’
short they were for Mr. Dog.
But Mr. Dog thought he must look
very fine, although he could not see
himself. ”1 will get your breakfast
for you,” he told Billy Pig,"if you
will let me wear this suit today.”
Hilly Pig with so hungry he dkln't
care by that lime how he got his
brqpkl'ast, so lie'told Mr. Dog he could
wear themlf he wanted to."
Mr Dog jumped to the window sill
and disappeared on the other side, but
he soon eat io back with a pie and
a dish of creamed potatoes, and if
there was anything In the world thgt
Billy Pig liked it was creamed pota
toes. Mr. Dog handed them to Billy
Pig, and then Jumped down beside him.
“Take them away from here,” said
Mr, Dog. “The maid will soon be
down and she Is very cross and might
take them away from you If she hap
pens to catch you.”
Bo off they ran to a place where no
one could see them, and Billy Pig ate
his breakfast.
"I believe 1 need a vacation,” said
Mr. Dog. ”1 never had one. 1 believe
I will go along with you. Where are
you going?”
"1 don’t know," replied Billy Pig.
"That will suit me," replied Mr.
Dog "I don’t want to know where I
am going. 1 might not like to go, and
1 iio want to.enjoy my vacation. We
will bo two tramps on a vacation, and
I'll bet you wo will have great fun
We can beg all our«food and sleep out
In the woods.
"Well, I will go along for a while,'
answered Billy Pig. "If 1 do not like
being a tramp 1 will go home. It isn’t
the sort of vacation I planned on hav
ing. You look like a tramp, and I
think you better do the begging, be
cause 1 don't look the way you do.”
Mr. Dog did not take the least of
fense at Billy Pig's remark. "Oh. that
Is All right,” he said. "Watt until you
have slept outdoors and tramped for
a day or two and no one will doubt
you are a tramp."
Tomorrow I will tell you more about
Billy Pig and Mr. Dog.

Home gardening done by chil

Vegetables, berries and fruits grown

of vegetables each day from the gar
dens of 2(h) children would amount to
S2O or S3O. Tn the summer and fall,
I when the surplus Is large and can not

After the owner of the firm —Paul
Van Bureau's father—had called Frank
into ilia office and shown hint the
foged check, Indorsed in Frank's name
and what looked like his handwriting.
Frank had protested his innocence and
asked for time to find the forger
Frank was reasonably certain he
knew tlie plotter, but he hud no proof,
and he knew thut to accuse Paul with
out very strong evidence would be sui
cide so far as his job was concerned.
Paul was the hope and pride of his
father. He was an onlv son, his fath
er hud indulged him in everything, as
many other wealthy parents have
done, thinking they are being kind to
their children—not teaching them the
value of a dollar, not teaching them
that the only things worth in
the world are those we work for and
earn ourselves.
Two days had passed since Frank
had heard about the forged check and
he was no nearer the solution than be
fore. He met an acquaintance on the
street as lie was going to lunch and,
of course, the first thing his friend
said on seeing Frank was. "Come on
and let's get a cocktail before we eat."
"Not for me,” Frank answered; '1
guess I'm off that stuff or good. It's
the bunk, but it took me a long time
to find it out."
At tills his friend laughed quite
heartily. '‘That's rich, Frank, com
the United States might produce
$800,000,000 a year. A boy 10 or 12
years old with a small plot of land,
working under careful direction can
produce more for the support of the
family than could he purchased with
the same boy's wages In factory, shop
or mill. This plan in full operation
would be a valuable supplement to the
child labor laws.
l’rooaoly the most valuable result
of this plan would be found In the
fact that It would make It easy for
most children to attend school three
or four years longer than they do now,
a thing more and more desirable, since
education for life and citisenship In
our Industrial, social and civic dem
ocracy' cannot be obtained before the
aga of adolescence, if a child can
contribute to its support while In
school he may remain In school lon
ger than if he must be carried as a
dead weight until he quits school to go
to work.

ing from you, when you were always
the first to suggest those things. But,
by the way, to change the subject, I
heard that young Van Buren got trim
med to a fare-thee-w ell the other
night up at the new gambling house
on Forty-second street. Yes. they
nicked him for several thousand. Well,
so long; sit tight on the wagon and
don’t drop your hat.”
"Guess it is rather funny for me to
be on the water wagon," mused Frank
after his friend had gone, “but I don't
remember ever loving a girl before,
and bo girl ever cared enough about
me to want me to quit the booze until
I met Helen. And that makes a dif
ference.
“So young Van Buren got trimmed
gambling, eh? Well, maybe we're
getting closer to that forged check.”
As he got hack to the office and sat
at his desk flunking of how he could
trap Paul Van Buren into confessing
the forgery Helen came over near
him, and while pretending to look over
some papers said In a low tone to
Frank;
"What are you looking so worried
about —that forced check?”
"Yes," said Frank; “how did you
know about it?"
"The whole office knows it." answer

CAN DISARMAMENT BE
EFFECTED ?
■ •
Whenever talk of the re-estahlish
tvent of pence after the present war
comes up, disarmament or the reduc
tion of armaments is sure to be an Im
portant Issue. Just how the nations
shill effect a program of disarming
Is a vexed question. The Encyclo
paedia Brlt&nnlca cites as “the only ex
isting case of contractual reduction of
armaments," the Disarmament Agree
ment of the 2sth of May, 1902, between
the Chilian und Argentine Republics’.
By this agreement the two govern
ments arranged to reduce their fleets
“according to an arrangement estab
lishing a reasonable proportion be
tween the two fleet*, and respectively
promised not to increase their mari
time armaments during five years, un
less the one who shall wish tie increase
them shall give the other IS months
notice In advance."
The Bntannlca authority points out
that an agreement of this kind is more
feasible among states whose navies are
small, because tn the case of large
navies it would be difficult to agree
on a principle for aasessment of the
proportionate fighting value of the re
spective fleets E'en comparatively
slight differences In the ages of ships
may make great difference in their
ft gluing value.
