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!" 0 \S /**/ Cf No." said Billy Dig. "I never stole anything In my life amt 1 cannot begin on my vacation Besides that, I could never get In. 1 cannot, climb as you can.” "What have you got In your bun dle'" asked Mr. Dog 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 INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad “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.

More than two-thirds of them leave school at 14 years of ago or earlier to become bread-winners. Home gardening done by chil dren under the direction of the schools seems to offer Just what is needed. In all of the manufacturing villages, su burban communities, and smaller towns and cities there is much avail able land in bark yards, vacant lots, and elsewhere which might he used for this purpose. Vegetables, berries and fruits grown should be used first as food for the ichildren and their families; then the surplus ahouitl be marketed to the best* advantage. Ten or 16 cents worth 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 Ibe marketed to advantage, the teacher | should direct and help the children In canning and preserving for wlnlert home uae or for sale. The canning and tomato club* of the southern states have already shown what can be done in thta way. Experiments already show that with proper direction an arerage child of the ages contemplated can produce on an eighth of an acre of land from $lO to SIOO worth of vegetables.

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. SHE WAS ASHAMED. Mistress (Indignantly) —Jane, what ever did you mean by wearing my lew-necked evening dress at the bus drivers ball last night? Really, you ought to have been ashamed of your self!

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 ed Helen.—H. C. (To be continued.) 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. t Give Him a Dorr Suit for Christmas He’s been troubled with false economy this season, and his old clothes make him more depressed.
