An—— —— My LITTLE BUNGALOAFER. A little bungalonfer is a-snuggling close to me, His little face face can be: There's jam upon each rosy cheek and on his chin and nose, arms are brown as beechnuts and there's mud upon his toes: barefoot, wades the brook near by, whene'er it pleases him, eyes are bright as dew drops and he's full of life and vim; hat is ragged on the edge, his hair sticks through the crown, There's grass stains on his rompers and perhaps | ought to frown: oh! how can I when he laughs, £0 happy, glad, and free, snuggles up all jam and and loves and kisses me.

As long as the haying In the meadow across the stream lasted, Constance surreptiti- ously studied the young farmer through the field glasses. But all things temporal must end, especial ly grass, and the hay field soon was stubble and knew the young Agricola no more, in a few weeks the story appeared. Almost simultaneously with the re cept of the paper containing it, the girls were startled by seeing the un mistakable figure of Agricola, hand. gome as Adonis bul arrayed In a clerical-looking garb, crossing the stubble field toward the stream. A mischievous whiff of wind suddenly caught his Panama hat and whisked it into the water, where it proceeded to float down gtream. The girls al most involuntaMly sprang to assist in the rescue.

It was a perilous trip as the rocks were far apart and slippery, but he finally reached her, when she straightway fost her fooung and slipped into the brook. The clerical-looking person, of course, could not do less than fish her out and escort the ladies to thelr boarding place, a near-by farmhouse.

It occurs to me that { may be overwinding my watch and | determine to only ten and commencing to go on a Monday night Wiil the watch run down, and if so, when? Turns in wind'ng are all of value.” The following Is the answer generally given, though 1 is incorrect: As twelve turns carries the watch for twenty-four hours and till 6 o'clock—that is to say, for thirty hours-——ten turns would carry it twenty-five hours, and therefore the watch would never run down. The correct solution is as follows: The Strand give in hand. The problem starts: “Ev. ery night 1 wind my watch, giving twelve turns.” If every night twelve it for twenty Monday night carries Wednesday morning. Ten Tuesday night carries Wednesday evening and two hours in ning, when the watch runs down.

This was easy enough, or seemed to be although the knack of falling out of a canoe so that the craft tilts after you, instead of capsizing In clumsy fashion, is only acquired by practice Next the young man climbed back into the canoe, after getting it on av even keel. This was not so easy. [It required some skill, a lot of agility eid a practical acquantance with the eccentricities of a boat of the light. negs and delicdey of build of a canoe It was not difficult to capsize the boat again in climbing back If this war done too many times the performer was not unlikely to become ex. hausted For this reason he was careful not to go too far from the banks when attempting his aquatic practice, for it might have been nec essary to swim ashore, towing the canoe, to rest for a while before mak ing another attempt When the dif ficult knack of righting the canoe climbing back again, and falling over board once more had ben thoroughly acquired and the wabbly tendencies of the little craft had come, then the real feat tempted The feat was to take a back fiip from the side of the canoe, holding the hands on ore side of the boat and balancing with the feet on the other As the canoeist went over backward into the water he still retained his firm: hold on the side of the boat with his hands and kept his feet planted in the original pesition in this way he went into the water with the cance turning with him. Al first it was found essential to com- fort to release the hold on the canoe as the water closed over the canoeist It was sufficient for a time to turn the canoe completely over until it was resting on the water immediately | over the When this lesson had been learned, | then a step further was attempted.

It will he geen at once that this feat was not an easy one, fall be righted. But the performer had to be gkilful and guick if every ad’ vantage was to be taken of the in. itial start in the direction desired. When the canoelst came to the sur face again he was still clinging to the side of the boat, pulling that side to- ward him and kicking the other side toward the place it would assume when the canoe was once more in ita right position in the water. As the canoeist came up he gave the boat a twist with his shoulder that emptied the water from it, and then he turned it on ita side with a dex. terous twirl that dropped it right side up, ready for occupancy onoe more. It was very skilfully done. mn D. Jones, in 8t. Nicholas, 7 ATTORNEYS. ATTORNEY -AT-LAW BELLEFOSTR Pa Ofios North of Court Bouse ATTORNEY -ATLAW BELLEFONTE Pa Ko. 15 W.
