"Do you knew," he said, ewhen, I was a small boy I was caned for telling the trixth?" "Well," said an opponent, " it cured you." ; A Novellatei Cross Roads.

The lett poem ee Robert Burn% -written a tene days before he died to the girl who,,nursed hisu ort his death bed, has been found in Welke Ma.iti Otago, a remote settlement in New Zealand. Its existence had been um kaoevn. ' Tem poem ie addressed to "Miss eeeele Lewars," who nursed. Burns while his wife, Jenny, ware 111: She was a neighbor of the poet in Min- h:lee, Scotland, and later mareled a man named Thomson, who apearenely carried the poem to New Zealand. Thomson thought the poem had been publiebed. Burns wrote: A'How often in the dreary night 1 clasp my buruing hands DpolO those terolabing, sleepleee o'er eyes like glowing brands, And wonder in my weary Main if, • -"Imply, when elm dead, My old boon fiende for love of me will give my baienies bread.

' "Well, 1 signed a note unto:" :Teo, what then?" "I bad to pay in" For the oys an A tIENJg N "Did you es, try adriing bs.fote you know irkat all m numbers 5 3,01 r column are going to be?" aoired robody can do that," said Gerald. `How cou'iri you tell what the answer would be?" "Easily enough," tTici Robert. "Now we will write down five numbers. You write two of them fitst, anti filen I will write one, and you Mal' write the , fourth, and f will write the:last. And I will put down the su515 of all ho numbero, after you have put down the first two," So Gerald pita down the first two numbers here shown: 46785 -15749 64250 34567 65432 'Then Robert said, "Well, the ans- wer -this time will be 246783." Then he put down the third row of figures, Gesold wrofe the fourth and Robert wrote the lost. Gerald hastened to add the numbers, arid, sure enough, Robert's answer was the correct one, "How did you do that?" asked Ger, "Don't you wish you could add that way?" said Robert teasingly "There is some trick about it," said leanrile. "Let me try it" So she wrote down the first two number given here: 483 999 616 472 527 "The answer to this problem will be 2\997," announced Robert Then he rote the third,ni4 'Fannie o the lotatb, '.the 5175, And tal , as "Robert' had given, '.1 Gdnir -soe how it's ow,' cried Gerald. , "Well, don't," . Fannie. is it; Robert'?" "Let me see if I can put down the answer when Fannie writes three of the numbers," said Gerald. And rifts). two or three trials he did it as quickly and as accurately as Robert had As you can discover by carefully examining the problems the trick is simple enough. In the first example notice that Robert. got the result Merely by placing le 2 in front of the first digit of Gerald's first number and by subtracting 2 from its loot digit. Then ,in putting down the third num- ber Robert used digits that, if added to' the digits of the second number under which they were placed, would in each case make 9. Thus the sum of the Second and the third number would be 99999: After Gerald had put dowa the fourth number Robert again used digits' that if added to the digits directly above them in the fourth number, would in each case make 5., In the second example, Robert var- ied the method, to make it appear more difficult, He got the result by using the second number, and.then he rnede the digits of the first and third numbers total '999. The fourth and fifth numbers he treated in the same way as he had treated the fourth and fifth number of tee first example. In order to avoid the possibility of error when you first try this trick it is a good plan to make the rule that all the numbers of the column must have the same number of digits. • Christmas Somewhere in Alberta BY H.
