PICKING 17P THE PLAYTHINGS. Picking up the playthings at the end of day Is a time for dreaming and a time to pray. Quietly in slumber, lying snug and sweet, Busy little hands and busy little feet. Rooms are still from laughter, child- ish worries gone— Little troubles they'll forget with the smile of dawn. In the utter silence, glad our hearts must be Silent rooms shall sound again with the morning glee. Life is not alrplaytime, soon the years will bring Days of joy and sorrow, toil and laboring. Now with love and laughter do the years go by, Happiness and joyousness hover ever nigh. May their little hearts so fill with the love of home, Memories shall never fade though afar they roam! Picking up the playthings at the end of day Is a time for dreaming and a time to pray. —A. W. Peach. BREAKING IN BABY. "What pretty manners your baby has!" said Mrs. Brown, looking admir- ingly at the tiny Jones girl, who was daintily eating a piece of bread-and- butter. "I could not possibly have my Barbara down to meals with me. She makes such an awful mess with her food, and is so restless." Now, very many children are like Barbara. They are simply impossible at meals with grown-ups. But it is not really difficult to train a child to eat nicely, and to behave properly at meals. First of all, the child should be taught to give all its attention, just for the time being, to what it is eat- ing. All atempts to play at meal- times should be resisted. Sometimes a mother will give a baby a spoon or a toy to play with, so as to persuade it to eat. This is very wrong, as baby Is quick to understand, and soon will not eat at all unless some other enter- tainment is offered at the same time. Later, this leads to children being restless and unable to sit quietly at meals, and to their trying to play about with knives, forks, glasses, etc. As soon as possible, a baby should begin to feed himself and to drink .by himself. Quite quickly his little fingers will adapt themselves to hold, first, bread-and-butter and plain bis- cuite, and then fork, spoon, and cup. But to make this process easy for him—and pleasant for other people— he must not.be given at the start food that is messy or difficult to manage. If baby is to learn that a dirty face and dirty hands are not the right thing at meals, he must not have food put into his hands that, through no fault of his, brings about this result. If only "Manners rnakyth Baby" could be regarded as being as import- ant a maxim as "Manners miticyth Man," parents would save thexnselves 717.4.0g1.04 —BY WILLIAM MACLEOD RAINS (Copyright, Thomas Allen.)

This is the time of year when "If I could tellyou that I could tell housewives wonder why things which you who killed him," answered Kirby they have put up for the winter do with a grim, mirthless smile. not always keep.

The first difficulty can be met by packing firm, but not tight, to within a half-inch of the top of the jar, and by leaving this half-inch of space for expansion during cooking. Strict adherence to a canning table, giving cooking time for different fruits and vegetables, will settle the second trouble. To avoid the third dif- ficulty, exclude the air by inserting a spatula or thin bladed knife in the jar before putting on the lid. "Flat sour," another common trouble, also arises from over -packing, but is mainly due to allowing food to stand in a semi -heated condition at any time during the canning process. When the fruits float, the jar may have been over -packed, or over -cooked, but it is generally a sign that too much sugar has been used.

Say, to make a long shot, that the Jap had been hired to kill my uncle by this other man, and say he was , beginnin' to get ugly an' make threats.' Or say Horskawa knew about the of my uncle an' was hired by the other man to keep away. Then he learns from the papers that he's suspected, an' he gets anxious to go to the police with what he knows. Wouldn't there be reason enough then to kill him? The other man would have to do it to save himself." "I reckon." Cole harked back to a preceding suggestion. "The revenge theory won't hold water. If some friend of yore uncle knew the Jan had killed him he'd sick the law on him. He wouldn't pull off any private exe- cution like this." Kirby accepted this. "That's true. There's another possibility. We've been forgettin' the two thousand dol- lars my uncle drew from the bank the day he was killed. If Horikawa an' some one else are guilty of the murder an' the theft, they might. have quar- reled later over the money. Perhaps thc accomplice saw a chance to get away with the whole of it by gettin' rid of Horikawa." "Mebbeso. By what you tell me yore uncle was a big, two-fisted scrapper. It was a two-man job to handle him. This li'l' Jap never in the world did it alone. What it gets back to is that he was prob'ly in on it an' later for some reason his pardner gunned him?' "Well, we'd better telephone for the police an' let them do some of the worryin'." Kirby stepped into the living-rooxn, followed by his friend. He was about to reach for the receiver when an ex- clamation stopped him. Sanbern was standing before a small writing -desk, of which he had just let down the top. He had lifted idly a piece of blotting - paper and was gazing down at a sheet of paper with writing on it. "Looky here, Kirby," he called. In three strides Lane was beside him. His eyes, too, fastened on the sheet and found there the pot-hooke we have learned to associate with Chinese and Japanese chirography. "Shows he'd been makin' himself at home," the champion rough rider said. Lane picked up the paper. There were two or three sheets of the writ- ing. "Might be a letter to his folks —or it might be—" His sentenee flickered out. He was thinking. "I reckon I'll take this along with me an' have it translated Cole." He put the sheets in his pocket after he had folded them. "You never can tell. I might as well know what thi H ik thi kin' b tfi t s or awe was n a ou rs off as the police. There's just an off chanee he might 'a' seen Rose that night an' tells about it here." A moment later he was telephoning to the City Hall for the police.

You will find it desirable to use bacon fre- quently as a garnish and in combina- tion with other dishes.

How many use inner tubes where elastic is needed in children's garments? Thep bands also make goodfasteners to hold the strainer cloth on the separ- ator tank. I sew a small piece to a fly -swat handle and save buying a new one. When the wire .separator brush is worn at the end, I bend it back and it 'lasts still longer. The glue paper tape I had left from making a dress -form is handier than string, when wrapping parcels, and also use it for labeling fruit jars. I want to tell you all about a piece of furnitUre I made myself. I have a hit of tools of my own which I know how to use. I bought a cheese box for ten cents from the grocer, and ten feet of one inch by one inch pine for ten cents. I used the cover for upper part of my sewing stand, open side up, and nailed the four two and one-half foot lengths to it. The bottom part was placed the right height from the floor and fastened in place. A ten cent can of dark oak stain made an agreeable finish. After I had fastened in place several nauslin poekets, I had a work basket like I had been wanting for years, for the cost of foi ty cents. —Mrs. A. P. The Wyoming men walked acrosS to Seventeenth Street and down it to the Equitable Buildi*. James Cune ningharn was in his office. He looked up as they entered, a cold smile on his lips. "Ah, my energetic cousin," he said, with his habitual touch of irony. "What's in the wind now-?" Kirby told hirn. Instantly James became grave. His irony vanished. In his face was a flicker almost of consternation at this follow-up mur- der. He might have been asking hire - self how much more trouble was come ing, "We'll get the writing translated. You have it with you?" he said. His eyes ran civer the pages Lane handed him. "I know a Jap we can get to read it for us, a reliable man, one who won't talk if we ask him •not to."

They'd probably find out, anyhow, that we'd been here." Five rninute,s later a patrol wagon clanged up to the Paradox. A sergeant of police and two plainclothes men took the elevator, The sergeant, heading the party, stopped in the doorway of the apartment and let a hard, hostile eye travel up and down Lane's six feet. "Oh, it's you," he said suspiciously.' Kirby smiled. "That's right, offi- cer. We've met before, haven't we?" They had. The sergeant was the man who had arrested him at the cor- oner's inquest. It had annoyed him that the authorities had later released the prisoner on bond. "Have you touched the body or moved anything since you came?" the sergeant demanded. "No, sir, to both questions, except the telephone when I used it to reach headquarters." The officer made no answer. He and the detectives went into the bedroom, examined the dead valet's position and clothes, made a tour of the rooms, and came back to Lane. "Who's your friend?" asked the ser- geant superciliously. "His name is Cole Sanborn." "The champion bronco buster?" "Yes." The sergeant looked at Sanborn with increased respect. Hie eyes went back to Kirby sullenly. "What you doing here?" "We were in my uncle's apartment lookin' things over. We stepped out on the fire escape an' happened to notice this window here was open a little. It just came over me that mete; be we might discover some evidence here. So I got in by the window, saw the body of the Jap, an' called my friend." "Some one hire you to hunt up' evi- dence?" the officer wanted to know with heavy sareasm. - "I hired myself. 'My good name is involved. Pm gain' to see the murder- er is brought to justice. "You are, eh?" eyese, "Well, I'll say you could find him if anybody could." "You're entitled to your opinion, sergeant, just as 1 am to mine, but before we're through with this ease you'll have to admit you've been wrong." Lane turned to his friend. "We'll go now, Cole, if you're ready." The sergeant glared at this cool cus- tomer who refused to be appalled at the positicin in which he stood. He had half _a mind to arrest the man again on the spot, but. he was not sure enough of his ground. Not very long since he had missed a promotion by being overzealous.
