Some ¢om- panies rig the guns with trigger locks to snap or shoo* caps. You might take the lock out o: a cheap cap pistol, but it is more fun to make triggers of cigar-box wood. Here are two de- signs "The more easily made 'single lock' has the hammer and trigger in one piece, pivoted at P, and striking a staple (C). Make the spring (5) by winding stiff wire around a nail. We used to get the wire out of an old broom, fo shoot this lock, you pull the trigger and let it snap back. "The double hammer lock takes two pieces and two springs. - If made right, you hold the trigger when you cock it and the hammer catches in the notch, Then a trigger pull releases it. You may have to experiment with it before you get the pattern just right, especially the place for the pivot. Fasten the lock to the outside of the gun and cover it with a piece of tin."

On the 23rd of December, on the old village wharf, a skating party as- sembled. The river that flowed past the village was frozen over with ice thick enough to be practically safe, The night was crisp and the stars were shining brightly, and even the old moon beamed down upon the party as it started down the river. I remember I was only a boy, but I determined to follow them; Oh, but it was wonderful! Gliding along the ice, following the wending course of the river, and with the large trees throwing their shadows upon the ice it was so dblightful that a person who has not had the experience has lost a great deal. The - young couples were laughing and joking when the. foremost couple saw four gray, long, lean bodies leap into view. "Wolves!" shouted a man, and when the sound reached my ears my heart seemed to stand still. Men de- gerted women (the cowards) and started for the village, leaving them alone to perish by the fangs of the unmerciful wolves. I was in the rear of the party about two hundred yards, and when the alarm was given I turned and started back. I resolved to save the party. The village seemed miles away and 1 put more speed into the skates which were strapped to my feet. At last the village came in sight, and with all the strength I could com- mand 1 increased my speed. Reach- ing the village, I sprang to the wharf, all the time shouting as loud as I could to awaken the sleeping village. In less than tongue can tell a force of men with rifles started to the rescue. But that was a day to be remembered among the village folk, for all the party did not return--some were left to the fangs of the wolves--James Dunn; aged 10, Frontenac School. The Story of Robin Hood. Robin Hood was born in the reign of King Henry the Second of Eng- land, more than seven hundred years ago. England at that time was a very different country from what it is now. The roads were bad, and many of them ran through dense forests, in which robbers and outlaws found shelter, and waylaid travellers who had anything worth seizing. In the very middle of England there lay then the great forest of Sherwood. It is so broad in its ex- tent that all travellers. from the south ' northwards were obliged to pass that way. There ran through it several highroads, which led to the principal adjacent towns, but for the most part it was a dense solitude, Wide wastes stretched themselves here and there.. There' were groves and glades through which deer and other game strayed unfrightened, and valleys through which streams that abounded with fish, It was near or in this forest that Robin Hood was born, His father was very fond of archery and other field sports, and he taught them all to his son. Robin learned so fast and so well that at the age of fifteen he was the best archer in the whole country side, dnd victor at all games of skill on trials of strength. But he was a wild young fellow and cared little what he did or what he spent, The old ballads, which are the source from which nearly all our informa- tion regarding him is derived, differ in their accounts of his early years, but all agree in pointing to some in- jury, real or supposed, that he re- ceived, as the cause of his becoming an outlaw and adopting a wild forest life. At about the age of twenty, he was already at the head of a band of young men, wild like himself, and in a few years their. number had grown to a Hundred.--Florence Goldup, Senior Third. Hiram And The Thieves. Hiram was a poor man whose trade was wood-cutiing. He had a rich brother whose name was Ma- hound. He was a very greedy man and as long as he got what he wanted he did not care. Hiram was cutting wood as usual one morning, when he heard horse- men coming. He hid in a tree and watched their leader, stop his horse in front of a great rock and call out, "Open De Vaux!" The large rock opened and they entered in. They ran kpow I'm in here unless they say something I can mock or unless sonie of my elfin friends are around with their magic. So when you looked over and said, 'Hum,' I mocked you." "But why?" asked Dotty, wtih a 'merry twinkle in her blue eyes. "It isn't nice to mock folks." "I know that," laughed Wizzy- woo. "I omly did it to let you know I was down in there." "You see Wizzy-woo never stays in TUESDAY, JANUARY came out each carrying a bag, and then said, "Shut De Vaux!" Hiram now came from his/RidIng place, and spoke the same words the rock opened and he entered in. He found it was a robbers' cave. So he loaded his mules with gold. As he neared home his wife came out to meet him, He them said, "Help me unload gold and treasure!" After they had taken off the limbs that cov ered the bags, his wife made haste to Mahounds, house for the loan of a measure. Mahound's wife was cur- ious to know what the wife of a poor man would want of a gold measure so she and her husband greased the inside of it. And when it came back to their surprise there was a small piece of gold stuck fast to it. Mahound was very angry and went at once to his brother. Hiram told him-the whole story. And when Ma- hound went and had loaded his mules,"and was just going to start for home, he could not think of the .words that made the great rock open. And when the robbers found him they put him to death.--Norman Smith age 11 years. Macdonald School. An Evening Out. It was a warm winter's night and a lot of snow on the ground when I took a party of children to a show called "The Winnipeg Kiddies." The Winnipeg Kiddies came from Winni- peg, in Manitoba, and had entertain- ed the Prince of Wales while there. The children were delighted at the kiddies, and laughed at many things they said to the Prince: After the show was over I invited them as a surprise to my home and had a lunch given. The lunch con- sisted of good things that children like and enjoy. When lunch was over they played games, such as blindman's buff, pussy wants a corn- er, hide the thimble, drop the hand- kerchief, train and many others, When the games were finished and all were seated we had pieces on the gramaphone. Long after the grama- phone was stopped and they wera getting their wraps to go home you could hear them laughing.--Emma Hughson. An Evening at the Club, Club opened about a quarter after seven. Some boys pulled out the mat.. On this we played tricks, wrestled and boxed. After the tricks some played checkers. Each one who wanted to play had to wait his turn Checkers soon grew monotonous to some, and we decided to have horse- back wrestling. After wrestling we played blindman's buff. This was very exciting to some. After this all was in quietness and nearly all read hooks. When the reading period was over the president took out of a big box a game of steeplechase, and the boys played this for a full haif hour. After steeplechase, a lunch was enjoyed by all. About ten o'- clock everybody went home after a délightful evening.--~-Edward Harte, ---- RY A Skating Party. My friend had a skating party. She invited about thirty friends, and I was one, She surely did give me a surprise, because I didn't expect it. Anyway, my skates were rusty and not much good; so I got a new pair of skates and boots. They were dan- died. We had a very good time at the rink, especially me with my good skates. I fell down a few times, but got up and soon forgot about it. Af- ter we were tired of skating and fall- ing down, my friend asked us all to her home. On our way to her home we had all kinds of fun. Well, when we got there we had the finest sup- per we could imagine, jelies, pies, cakes, meat, puddings, fruit and many other things. After supper we went into the drawing-room and had other amusements. One of the amusements was music. We had all kinds of lovely music. Then after that we had games. Some of the pames we all couldn't take part in. But we witched and took part in the next. After a very pleas- ant evening we had to break up the party and go home. On my way home I was so delighted that I forgot about skating. When I did get home 1 was very tired, and told the folks of my delightful time. Long after } went to bed I lay awake thinking of the party and the fun, and wished began to patter down on the walk.

That is the time throngh which Mr, H. C. Buckley endured all the flery torture of { itching, burning eczema. His life \#gi\ a perfect misery until Zam- Buk e great herbal skin cure-- brought complete relief. Mr. Buckley, who lives at 461 East Broadway, Portland, Oregon,' writes: --"For fifteen years I suf- fered with eczema, and although I tried many so-called 'eczema cures,' nothing seemed capable of dealing with a case like mine. It was not until 1 had Zam-Buk recommended to me that I began to have hope. This wonderful Skin healer soom brought about a change for the bet. ter. As I persevered with Zam-Buk the burning sensation got less. I found Zam-Buk wonderfully sooth- ing. Gradually the psfches of sore- ness and the inflammation were re- duced, and complete and perman- ent cure finally resulted. I would strongly advise all afflicted with eczema to give Zam-Buk a trial. It will give them satisfaction. They will not be disappointed."
