galt and Pepper were two puppien,
the fattest and most mischievous lit.

to be banished to the kitchen, for they
chewed up and destroyed so many
articles in the house that their mastes

with their ‘“troublésomeness.”
was Norah's own word and she should
be given all credit for it.
One day the butcher came into the
kitchen and deposited on the table a
graceful and nice-smelling string .. of
. sausages. You should have seen the
eyes -of Salt and Pepper as the oder
of the sausages was wafted to their
nostrils. What were they made of
to smell 80 good? Who knows? What
« gnes into & sausage is known to no
one in the world, much l8ss to two
silly, ignorant Mttle pups lke the ones
sniffing the alr and looking so long
Ingly at that artistic string of sau
sages—so. far above their reaeh on the
kitchen table.
#“Norah, Norah,” called the voice. of
the mistress.
; eyes, ma'am, I'm coming? answer
ed Norah. Before she left, however,
Norah -turned her eye on “the pups
and In terrible voice said:
“If ayther of you bastes touch them
sausages while I'n" gone, Ill cook ye
tor lunch yourself.” .
This dreadful threat made Salt and
Pepper tremble in their boots, if they
hed any, and Norah went upstairs
leaving them alone with their tempta-
tion.
You don’t suppose that Salt and
Pepper were going to let swch a
chance go, do you? They had deter
mined frem the minute their eyes
had fallen on the sausages that they
were to be theirs somehow, someway
—but how? Th: was the question.
At first they tried jumping up to the
table, but it was wo use. Next they
tried knocking the broom down, hop
ing that the han¢ ; weuld shove the
délicate morsels their way. It did not.
Instead it fell in the other direction
and the sausages temaingd madden-
ingly. near, but hopelessly far away.

the two. puppies sat down to think.

quickest-witted and usually the lead:

wns no exception. A smile came over

“I've got it, old fellow. Don’t lose

a way. Do you see that object lying.
there?”
“What object?” replied Pepper. “1
‘don’t ‘see. anything but that box. I
don’t like" that ‘box anyway. The baby
has already scared me to death with |-
it twice, and I hever go mear it if I
can avoid it.”
“Well, you will have to do 80 now,
‘that is, if you still have any appetite
for those sausages.”
The mention of sausages spurred
Pepper on to inquire what plan Salt
had thought of whereby the sausages
could be transferred from the table
. to the stomachs of two greedy little
dogs.
Salt did not waste any time in use
less conversation. He pushed tne
box a little nearer the tabie and or-
dered Pepper to get up on it. Pepper
did so in fear and trembling, but Salt
encouraged him by telling him that
he should have an extra share of the
sausage when that happy time ar-
rived.
Trembling as if he were standing
on a- lighted firecracker, Pepper
mounted the innocent box. At this
time he had ne idea what his clever
brother intended to do next. His bro-
ther had, however, told Pepper that
all he had to do was to grab the sau-
sages when he reached the table and
jump down with them. These instruc
tions sounded very easy. Salt pressed
the button and Pevper was expected
to do the i1est. The box was one
known in the nursery as a “Jack ir
the box” and was a splendid, strong
fellow. He had cost 80 much money
that the baby’s mother had scolded
the baby’s father for his evtravagance
when he had brought it home to the
baby a short while before.
‘When Jack bobbed up serenely Pep-
per rose at the fame time. He was
scared almost to death at this unex-
pected happening, but was quickly
ealmed when he saw that he was act-
ually on the ‘kitchen table a few
inches from the coveted sausages. In
an instant the string was on the floor
and Pepper beside. it. Salt made a
hasty attack also, and then both pups
did what in the country is styled
“pitched in.” . They gobbled and gulp-
ed and strangled in a most unhygien-
ic fashion until not a vestige of the
pausages was left.
When Norah returned she searched
high and low for the dainties. She
could not blame Sait apd Pepper,
they had been too.far beyond. their
readh. but when she searched for the

One of the problems which Commissioner of Health, Samuel G. Dixon, Naa had to meet in arranging the treat
of the boys and girls at the State Tuberculosis Sanatoria, is to keep them interested and occupied with things e
tional and yet not a strain on their nervous energy.
Rest, good food, and fresh air are three things which they all need, but the active temperament and growing mind
of the children require both entertainment and occupation.
The little girls in the above picture are a part of the embroidery class which one of the nurses has under her
direction. The skill which some of these children display with their needles is surprising. The competition betweén
them is so keen that during the hours that they are allowed to work, a busier and more interested lot of youngsters
would be hard #o find.
The chief desire of every child is to do something to send home, and as they become more skillful they
