SAMMY ATTEMPTS TO FLY
Disastrous Results from Youngster’s
Intended Visit to Relatives in
Country
School hud closed for tho summer
With two months at hi disposal In-
ventive Sminy naturally began to
think of what he should do In this va-
cation period saya the Philadelphia
Inquirer Ills experiments and Inven-
tions had proved so expensive of late
that he did not like to aak his father
for money to go sway on a long holi-
day trip Neither did he wluh to
stay at home
"Father" nald he thoughtfully at
the breakfast table "If you could
spare me the donkey and our little
pony care 1 could take a Jaunt through
the country stopping at tbe homes of
our relatives They live moat every-
where about here you know nnd
I've promised ever ao many visits I've
never paid”
“The very Idea!" exclaimed his
father who had just been wondering
how to provide an agreeable vacation
for bis brilliant son
Hammy was quick to avail himself
of the permission That very day he
Made a Mammoth Kite
started upon his travels henring a
volume of messages from bis purents
to different relatives with whom he
would spend day
Now It chanced that Jock the don-
key had had very little exercise
Therefore he kicked up his heels and
capered along the highways at a de-
lightful pace The boy was feeling
'a9 happy aa a' larV wfieh ho came
to a placo where the road shclvud
steeply down an embankment to a
creek ford
“Hold up a little!” he cried to the
donkey and tugged with all bis might
upon the reins
But the donkey never paused Down-
ward be plunged rattling over tho
loose stones at a terrific rate of speed
And disaster camo as one might have
expected Near the bottom of the
slope tbs frail cart careened against
a bowlder A moment afterward it
was a mass of splintered wood In-
stead of a handsome pony cart Then
It wad that Jock stopped In bis head-
long dash and returning to where
hia master had been pitched upon the
tones gazed ruefully with Sammy
upon tbe ruins But his obedience
had come too late for any good
Arrows tbe creek stood a farmhouse
where lived folk who gladly would
have lent Sammy a oart with which
to drive home The lad declined with
thanks however Assuring them that
now be bad an opportunity to work
out n new Invention ho began the
construction of A mammoth kite
Across the middle of the contrivance
he nailed horizontally a light board
capable of holding bis weight
Then he rigged the kite to Jock's
bark by means of the traces und long
rope extensions Having h-d tho don-
key to the straight level road Rummy
announced to tho people gathered
round that he wns about to fly home
"Get up Jock!” he shouted whack-
ing the donkey briskly with hia whip
All went will until there came a
brink wind Up flew the kite In tho
air to a position several fee t above tho
donkey's back Jock passed beneath
the low-hanging hough of a tree He
passed— but the kite didn't!
Jock had reached borne by tho time
Hammy became conscious of what bad
happened Then w ith one last angry
look at the fragments of tho kite
which like himself had been buttered
nguluat the treacherous liuib the boy
Inventor limped slowly toward borne
and mother His vacation- though
short bad be-n eventful— but not al-
together a happy one
1 More thtm 210000 pounds of buintn
hat are exported from Hongkong to
this country annually

COW TREE WONDERFUL SIGHT
Grow to Great Height In South Amer
lea and Are Milked by (he
Natives w
t
Groves of cow-trees such ss are to
be found in hilly districts of certain
parts of floutb America are said' to bo
a wonderful sight These treed which
It need scarcely be said do not acta-
ally resemble cows grow to great
height yet for lengths of perhaps
fifty feet they are quite wilhovt
branches Near the top they expand
Into thick heads of foliage however
and display a matted texturo of leaves
and branches The leavos are thick
and ribbed and often grow to be a
Ajot long To walk In such a grove
among the bare trunks and under
nn&tb the obscuring upper foliage is
not unlike passing through some dim
old pillared temple of pest ages i
And If you remained long enough
until daybreak or evening you might
have the surprising pleasure of seeint
the natives come to milk the cow-
trees A hole Is bored Into the heart
of tbo trunk From this hole there
pours a milky fluid much esteemed Os
a drink by somo If this fluid Is pat
aside for some time a thick white
cake forms at the top of it while
beneath there remains only a clear
Uould — -—
The fruit of tbe tree Is also cs
teemed as food It la of moderate
size and contains one or two noth
which are said to rival strawberries
and cream In their flavor And thin
Is not alL A kind of bread IS math)
from the bark of the tree and to oaM
to be almost aa nourishing as whe&ten
bread
THE LITTLE TUMBLER
n
Make a figure ct a ma out of any
very light substance the pitta of the
elder tree for inawince which Is sot
and can be easily
cut into any form
Then pro? Ido a
h e m I p h e rlcnl
base of some
heavy material
such as the half
of a large leadcp
— bullet and tnh
'y all the
perfections which
may be on the con-
vex part Fasten the flgsre to tho
plane surface of the bullet and tn
whatever position It is placed when
left to Itself It will Immediately sloe
upright
A Strong Motive
Robert Iouls Stevenson tells of a
Welsh blacksmith who at the ago ‘nt
25 could neither read nor write llo
then heard a chapter of Roblnsoa
Crusoe read aloud It was the scene
of the wreck and be wus to luipressod
by the thought of what he missed Uy
his ignorance that ho set to work
that very day and was not satis
fled until be bad learned to read In
Welsh Hi dlsappointi-ient was great
when he found all his rains had been
thrown away for be could only oty
tain an English copy of tho book
Nothing daunted ho began once more
and learned Engllrh and at last had
the Joy and tilumph of being ablo to
rend the delightful story for hlinttclf
A strong motive nnd a steady pur-
pote overcome the greatest tlfll
cullies
A Balancing Feat
The only thing required for tho
game here described are a large
clothes-basket a broomstick two ap-
ple and two t-hnirs
The broom-stick I flrat put through
the handles of tbe bnsket with the
protruding end restlrg ou the two
chutrs The apples imiat aieo be
placed cn the chult-s
A perron then sit astride that part
of the broom-stick over the basket
with his feet resting In tbe latter and
endeavors to knock tho npp’ee off ttn
chairs with a walking-stick
The occupant of the basket will In-
variably press one fcot down more
than tits other which causes the bos-
ket to tilt sideways and blmsotf to be
thrown out on to the floor
One-third of all tho tonnage undvtv '
