Now, if we older folks would learn not to exagg­ erate with children we would save ourselves a whole peck of trouble. But, of course,- having a youngster that thinks you’re just the whole thing makes you a trifle boastful,- and I’m no exception. I picked it up, recounted a few minor exploits of mine in my younger j days when I cut quite a dash with a bo’n’arrer and I let it go off. To tell the truth it slipped, and it described the neatest flight you ever saw, never stopping for a window glass but go­ ing right through. There was the sound of breaking window glass, fol­ lowed b-y a second sound which clear­ ly resembled A£rs. Phil in the full heat of anger. A moment later she appeared, decorating the place which had formerly been a pane of glass in the upstairs bedroom on the east cor­ ner and in very plain words told me to get rid of that “confounded bo’n’­ arrer” at once. Supper was a most tame affair to­ night. Jimmy was plainly wondering as to the rate of his new toy. I was hiding my chagrin in a cloak of sil­ ence. Mrs. Phil broke the silence, “Big Chief Patchy Pants no get any game today. He just miss killing his squaw. He better fix window night, or he’ll have to sleep wigwam.” She started to laugh then, and I knew everything was all right, but I don’t think I’ll make any more (,bo’n’- arrears” for a while at least. before in his CANADIANS STILL LEAD PHONE TALK There is a curly headed boy tonight with a tired head nestling in a pillow, who believes that Phil Osifer is not a bad sort of fellow. That young fel­ low is my nephew Jimmy, for whom I yesterday constructed a bow n’arrer. Jimmy is my brother’s boy. He’s a small, pathetic looking little fellow ,.who because he is an only child is sort of babied by his mother. She honestly believes that Jimmy should not engage in any rough sports, and Jimmy is at his wits end to prove to her that he wants to be a real boy like others. On his frequent visits to : Lazy Meadows I do my best to make a real boy out of him, much to his mother’s despair, and Jimmy’s delight.

Canada has ranked first for some years in the number of yearly tele­ phone calls per capita, and the latest survey shows this position well main­ tained. In 1937, every person in the Dominion made an average of 236 calls, compared with 222 the year be­ fore.

It felt good to get a jacknife again and begin searching for the right wood for the bow and arrow. Then came the task of whittling it down.
