DO IT NOW.
He was going to be all that a mortal
should be—Tomorrow.
No one should be kinder or braver than
he—Tomorrow.
A friend who was troubled and weary he
knew,
Who'd be glad of a lift and who needed
it, too;
On him he called to see what he could
do—Tomorrow.
Fach morning he stacked up the letters
he'd write—Tomorrow.
And thought of the folks he would fill
with delight—Tomorrofl.
It was too bad, indeed, he was busy to-
day,
And he hadn't a minute to stop on his
way;
More time he would have to give others,
he'd say—Tomorrow.
The greatest of workers this man would
have been—Tomorrow.
The world would have known him, had
he ever seen—Tomorrow.
But the fact is he died and he faded from
view,
And all he left when living was through
Was a mountain of things he intended to
do—Tomorrow. —Grit.
PLANTS THAT STRANGLE TREE
Almost Incredible Power Displayed by
Vegetation That Seems to Be
Almost Negligibie.
Some years ago an asphalt tennis
court was laid down near Harwick,
England. All went well at first. The
asphalt was laid as smooth as a bil-
lard table and left to set.
Next morning there was a bump as
large as an inverted soup plate in one
corner of the court. By midday it
had grown to the size of a pudding
basin, and then the workmen hacked
up the court to see what had caused
the mysterious swelling. It was noth-
ing more formidable than a mushroom.
Even tiny plants are incredibly
strong. A little seedling will push its
way through several inches of hard
soll, and if a stone hinders its prog-
ress, the wee plant will thrust it aside.
Toadstools have been known te push
over a strongly built wooden fence.
Sometimes climbing plants kill the
trees and bushes which they use as
supports. Honeysuckle, for example,
clings tightly to the stem of a tree; the
tree exerts its enormous foree to burst
its bonds, but the thin stalks of the
climber are even stronger, and in the
end the tree dies of strangulation.
MATTER OF OXYGEN SUPPLY
Why Heated Objects Are of Varying
Coler Is a Matter of Simple
Explanation.
The color of a heated object de-
pends largely upon the temperature to
which it is subjected. When, for ex-
ample, a poker is placed in a fire, it
will first turn a dull red, then a bright
red, and finally a glaring white.
The same principle applies to a
flame, the outside of which is far hot-
ter than the inside, and, in conse-
quence, gives off a brighter light. This
difference in temperature is due to the
fact that only the outer portion of the
flame comes in contact with the oxy-
gen of the air, while the inner part
has to be content with the small
amount of this inflammable gas which
reaches it still unconsumed.
The heat is greatest where combus-
tion is fastest and most complete, and
it is for this reason that the outer part
of a flame is a bright yellow while the
interior is a dull blue.
Gobbler Wanted Care of Family.
A gobbler which seemed very much
pleased and elated when the little
turkeys were hatched and were able
to follow him around last year is
owned by a New Brunswick farmer.
This past summer he tried to ceax the
early chickens from the hens. Then
when the turkey hens began to set
the gobbler was missed for several
days. He was then found setting on
a hen’s nest hidden in the grass. He
sat on the eggs until they began to
hatch. The gobbler, however, wag so
. heavy that he crushed the chickens, so
he had to be taken away from the
chicks. By that time the turkey hens
had hatched their young and the gob-
bler was consoled by having them fol-
low him around.

Calf With Two Heads Lives.
The most astonishing animal freak
that has ever been at Burton-on-Trent,
Eng., was a two-headed calf. It had
twa mouths and could eat and drink
with both at the same time. The
freak at three months old, according
to the opinion of a veterinary surgeon,
was likely to have quite a normal ex-
istence, as it had only one brain.

THE WAVES
To the waves said old Mother Ocean,
“My children, why are you so rough?”
Said they, ‘Mother Ocean, we're really
polite,
“These actions are naught but a bluff!”
“Well,” Mother Ocean said, “you
bluff very well at times.”
“We do,” roared the waves; “we
do.” And thelr roaring laughter could
be heard all about.
“You see,” they said, “it is such fun
to play and we have such jolly races
with the wind and with the Foam
Brothers and with the Tide Twins.
“We have so many other playmates,
too. There are the Mist Grandchildren
and the Army of Raindrops and old
man Wind and the Storm family.
“We adore the Storm family. They're
always so ready to play the games
which would tire out others.
“They don’t get easily tired, The
Storm family is a strong family.
They've made themselves strong
through so much exercising, though
they have always been naturally
strong, too.
“Then there are so many others.
Oh, we have so many friends, Mother
Ocean.”
“Yes,” said Mother Ocean, “my chii-
dren are well liked. I cannot but say
that.
“Everyone cares for you—or at least
there are enough to care for you so
you'll always have playmates.
“Sometimes I think your playmates
are pretty rough, but then you always
calm down again and know how to be
quiet and well-mannered and restful.
“So I don’t think your wild games
do you any harm.”
“We don’t think so, either,” Mother
Ocean.
“Think of the times we're so still
and when we just ripple and roll back
and forth with smiles on our watery
lips, but with no great roaring laugh-
ter coming from our throats.
“Think of the times when we love to
hear the Moon tell us beautiful stories
and when we like to smile at the stars
and send them up our kisses by Mr.
Wind and the Sky Messengers!
“Think of the times when we like to
hear your stories and when we like to
“Have a Fine Time.”
stay so quiet and dream away many
a sunny day.”
“Oh, yes,” said Mother Ocean,
“there are different kinds of things
which you like besides playing. You
like stories and sleep and rest and you
like, too, to swing in your water ham-
mocks, quite gently, back and forth.
“I'm not in the least worried about
the games you play and the rough way
you aet at times, for after all, the
rough Waves are very beautiful, and
people love to see a rough ocean once
in a while.
“When you are rough you are really
lovely, my children, and that can be
said of very few people.
“Oh, yes, if creatures can be lovely
when they are rough it is all right to
be rough, but so few can. That is
where the Waves are so smart, So
smart.
“And, too, it makes you strong to
play with the Storm family. I must al-
ways have strong children.
“One cannot think of a weak, sick
ocean and feeble waves.
“Of course, when you're resting it is
one thing, but when you are playing
with the Storm family you want to be
able to play well, too.
“I wouldn't want to hear people say
that the poor waves couldn't play with
the Storm family any more because
they were too weak and wretched.
“I wouldn’t want that said at all, so
when I tell you that I wish to ask you
why you are so rough, I do not ask it
because I mind it. but because I love
your beautiful strength, my Wave
children.
“Yes, I admire your wonderful, glo-
rious, perfect strength, and your great,
great, great beauty.”
“We are so glad, Mother Ocean. And
now you will see our strength this
very day, for the Storm family is giv-
ing a party and every Wave is in-
vited.”
“Good,” said Mother Ocean, “I shall
roar with delight and-laughter too.
“Have a fine time, my children, have
a fine time.”
All About Ruth.
“This morning,” sald the teacher of
an early Sunday school class, “the sub-
ject is Ruth, the gleaner. Who can
tell me about Ruth?”
A small boy raised his hand.
“well, Willie?” said the teacher.
And Willie piped out in a shrill lit-
tle voice, “He cleaned up sixty home
runs thls season.”
POVERTY KEEPS 1000
OUT OF SCHOOL.
There are a thousand boys and girls
in Philadelphia who can not go to
school because they do not have shoes
or enough clothing. This is the larg-
est number absent because of pover-
ty in the history of compulsory school
attendance in that city.
Henry J. Gideon, director of the De-
partment of Compulsory Attendance
of the Board of Education, made this
summary of the results of unemploy-
ment as attendance officers have found
them.
“We have notified charitable organ-
izations and have found that all of
them, with the exception of the Jew-
ish charities, which take care of their
co-religionists, cannot take on any
more cases because of lack of funds,”
said Mr. Gideon.
“The Emergency Aid committee has
has taken care of a large number of
cases in the past month. But there
are now about 1000 more that need at-
tention.”
Attendance officers report cases
where children stay in bed on very
cold days because of lack of fuel in
their home and sufficient clothing to
keep them warm.
Mrss. Ethel Patterson, an aide to
the Director of Compulsory Attend-
ance, has been designated to receive
the cast-off clothing of other more
fortunate children for distribution to
these boys and girls. The cast-off
clothing is received at the Grant
School, Seventeenth and Pine streets.
A similar condition arose in 1914,
say school officials, but the present
poverty among school children is said
to be more acute. —Ex.
