Most of the adult visits are "eat- less" ones, but the children do revel in eating away from home.

A fellow can't never have any fun," muttered Harry Thorn. He was half ashamed of the words as he spoke theni, and hoped the next minute his mother did not hear; but she did, and sighed deeply, as she I am sure there has never been the slightest feeling on my part that I have been imposed upon, and am quite certain my busy friend feels the same. We are not rich, but they have luxur- fes that we have not, and we have some things that they can not enjoy because of their location, It is nice for them on a stormy night to know that they will not have to drive in for their high school children, and nice for us to know that short vaca- tions in the summer are available to ours.

"What can be the matter?" asked Johnnie aloud as he got out, this time to investigate his oil, "Johnnie, don't you hear Mother calling you?" "Oh, how dumb!" ejaculated the boy as he climbed back into his car. "I never turned on the switch." "Buzzaz ~--chug--chug--chug," sounded the en- gine as he turned an imaginary key and put his foot on the starter. "Johnnie, if you: don't come now, you won't get any supper," came the volce again. "Now she's going fine," sighed the lad as he turned the steering wheel-- an embroidery hoop which he held in his hands. For some little time, Johnnie drove his car through imaginary. towns, up hills and across rivers. "Better get some supper here," he said at last as he stop, his rocker before a make- believe inn. The word "supper" seem- ed to bring something to his mind and he jumped up and trotted downstairs at breakneck speed. As he entered the dining-room his mother and father were just finishing their dessert, and neither seemed to notice that he was there. He sid into his chair and at last ventured, "I'm hungry." Two big tears suddenly made the table look "blurry." "I'm hungry," repeated Johnnie and the tears started on their course down two rosy checks. "I told you that if you didn't come you would miss your supper," quietly affirmed his mother. / "I want something to eat," cried the child and there were anger and rebel- lion in the tone. "You know Mother always keeps her word. If you are going to act like that, you had better go right to bed." At that suggestion Johnnie jumped down from his chair and threw him- self on the floor, kicking and scream- ing. After. a moment's hesitation the father picked up his son bodily and carried him up to bed, undressed him and left him to sob himself to sleep. "Wasn't I right to stick to my word?" tearfully asked the mother as Johnnie's father joined her .in the library. "Perfectly," was the sardonic reply. "Why did you say that so sarcastic- ally?" asked the wife. "Because," replied her husband, "to my mind you never should have given your word. It was a' foolish threat. What was the boy doing when you called him?" "Making an unearthly noise--run- ning an automobile, T think." "Poor kid," said the father, "I guess we are the ones who should have been punished. He probably was having engine trouble and likely was scarcely conscious that you called him." - "But we couldn't keep supper any longer for him." "No, but we could have used a bit of imagination, ourselves. Why didn't we suggest that he come down and call up a garage man to come and ra- pair his car while he ate his supper?" "Do you suppose that would have worked?" "I not only suppose but I am sure of it. He was simply too engrossed in his play world to respond to your call, Of course, he must be taught consideration for other people and a'so that any command given by either of us must be obeyed by him without. question, but for this very reason we must treat him with consideration and fesue commands sparingly and judi- ciously." "Poor Johnnie," sighed his mother. ------ me : ~ Blanket Starts Blaze. During a cold night, Will Cufting brought his tractor from the field and put it in the garage. To make sure that the radiator would not freeze, he threw a blanket over it. When the gar- age was opened the next morning the blanket was gone. It had burned to a crisp, only a few ashes remaining. The steering wheel was also burned, as well as the wiring around it.
