Then just before she went to sleep there was a little whimper from the wood- shed. When Jeannie went to bed she lay awake a long time thinking about the coonie. Presently she heard a coon give its funny sobbing call down the road. “You’ll give him a tummy-ache, twinnies,” she said, “I don't believe his mother ever fed him cake icing. John, put him to bed or he will be sick. At teaâ€"time Uncle John put on a pair of~gloves and brought the new pet into the house. He looked so cunning sitting on Uncle John’s knee sniffing with his black little pointed nose at the food they offered him. In spite of his terror he couldn’t resist the sweet things the twins offered hint“ and they fed him honey and jam and cake icing until Aunt Madge made them stop. So they put some straw in the bot- tom of a barrel in the woodshed, put the frightened little coon on his soft new bed and covered the barrel with a wire screen so that he would have plenty of air. “Well, a barrel would bg all right with a top on it,” said the man, “he’s too scared to do much climbing to- night.” “Where will we keep him,” asked Jock, “will a box do till Grandad comes home tomorrow and \makes a 'house‘ for him?" When they went into dinner Jock was still talking about the coons. He sat at the big table with the men and they all did justice to the good things which had kept Mother and Aunt Madge busy baking for the last two days. Jeannie had been helping them and felt as proud of the :_meal as if she had got it all ready her’self. After dinner Uncle John had a little chat with the engineer so that Uncle John was not as much surprised as the twins when the man drove into the yard one afternoon the following week. “Hello,” said Jock, “are we going to thrash again?” His friend did not answer but op- ened the side of his\coat to let the twins see what was inside. They shouted with delight for there, snug- gled down tight against his arm was a baby coon looking \vithjrightened eyes at the light. “Got him for you last night just "over in the big bush,” he said to Uncle John, and Jock didn’t see the money that passed between them, “he’s only half grown and I pulled his big teeth so he won’t be able to do much biting.” Advertise in THE LIBERAL’ ii; 1 “Oh gee,” said Jock, longingly, “I wish I could get one. How do you catch them?” ‘ “Well, my dog trees them, and I climb up the tree and shake them down tO‘BiH, my chum. The big fel- lows put quite a 'fight but the young ones are easy enough to han- dle if you wear gloves.” and f “I caught a couple last year,” the man, “and tamed them and them.” “The codns will be sorry when the corn is all cut,” he said to his new friend,” we hear them in the corn field every night calling to each oth- er.” While Jock was still in bed waiting for his broken leg to heal the thresh- ers had come and gone. It was a great disappointment to him not to be able to go to the barn to watch all the exciting things there but when ‘the silo fillers came some weeks later he was happy. Daddy had sent him la pair of light crutches so he could ‘wander around the farm without tir- ing the weak leg and he felt very important as he made his way down to the barn to watch the cutting box. He soon made friends with the man who was running the engine and qui- ckly learned how to blow the whistle to bring the teams galloping from the i field with more com.

If the pans are kept >in a cool place the biscuits may be :popped in the oven a few minutes be- fore tea-time thus ensuring fresh, hot biscuits without any trouble at mealtime. Another way to prepare biscuits ahead of time is to mix all the dry ingredients rub in the shortenâ€" ing and then when ready for the bis- cuits add the milk, roll out cut and Before baking potatoes cut ofi“ the end of each.

We all take our pleasure in different ways, I know a woman who gets up at four o’clock to do crochet work while the house is quiet but who would think reading, which is her neighbor’s way of using her rest hour, a sinful waste of time. Nellie McClung, after her recent election cam~ paign retired .) the kitchen and did a big day’s baking to quiet her nerves. She says there is nothing as soul-satis- fying as an 0' 3nful of flaky pies. , ‘ So there are as many different kinds of recreation as there are difi :rent kinds of people, and what is rest to one is hard work to another. Mark Twain once said “work is anything you dislike doing,” so it looks as if anything we re- ally enjoy cones under the head of recreation. , V_“__-~~ H-..“ "Mu ulvvu All but: ouuui'us keeps chickens and works with them after office hours until he is tired physically but rested mentally.

The old saying “it’s a rest for a tailor to run” had some foundation as in those days tailors sat cross~legged on their work tables stitching by handfor hours at a time. What a rest it must have been for these cramped legs to um 'ind themselves and exercise until the circulation was restored. Even to-day r e s tin g does not simply mean stopping work, a complete change of occupation for a few hours will often prove to be more of a rest than Idleness. This came to my notice very clearly one day this sumâ€" mer. I was over tired, the ordinary, evercay household cares and worries had been piling up and there were a few extra worries thrown in for good measure. I had promised the children that if it didn’t rain on Saturday I would help them build a dam in the creek to deepen their swimming hole. On Saturday the weather conditions were perfect so I had to keep my rash promise in spite of the fact that my head felt as if it were circled by an everâ€"tightening band of iron and also in spite of the fact that my housework was far from finished. However, I thought, in ten years they won’t remember whether the stove was cleaned to-day and they may remember a happy picnic by the creek. So off We went with our spades and a picnic basket and how we toil- ed there in the bright sunshine all afternoon. The dam grew apace, the water in the pond deepened most satisfacr torily and, finally, when we climbed ashore, tired and ther muddy, to eat our sandwiches and heat cocoa on little bonfire I suddenly discovered that the band which had been pressing so uncomfortably on my brain was gone. It may have been the sunshine or the magic of running water which removed it but it was more likely the complete change of occupation, the utter forgetting of cares and worries and the/ concentrating on the digging of sods and the lifting of stones. This is probably the reason so many doctors choose gardening for a hobbyâ€"it is such a decided change from their work.
