Porch Shades 
are made of Linden Fibre, in different colors 
to match the woodwork of your house, and 
in various sizes to fit your porch. They 
shut out the sun and at the same time let 
in the air, making the porch a cool, cozy 
and comfortable room on warm summer 
days. They screen the porch from the 
gaze of passers-by, while allowing you 
an unobstructed view. Very inexpensive.

A Kansas City teacher of a kindergarten 
was incapacitated from work one day last 
week by the following incident. The sub- 
ject of the lecture and object lesson was 
animals and birds. 
“Now, children,’ said the teacher, “I 
want each of you to think of some animal 
or bird and try for a moment to be like 
the particular one you are thinking about, 
and make the same kind of noises they are 
in the habit of making.” 
Instantly the schoolroom became a me- 
nagerie. Lions roaring, dogs barking, birds 
singing and twittering, cows lowing, calves 
bleating, cats meowing, etc., all in an up- 
roar and excitement; all, with one excep- 
tion. 
In a remote corner a little fellow was 
sitting perfectly still, apparently indiffer- 
ent and> unm...dful of all the rest. The 
teacher, observing him, approached and 
said, 
“Waldo, why are you not taking part 
with the otherrchildren?” 
Waving her off with a deprecating hand 
and wide, rebuking eyes, he fervently 
whispered: 
“Sh—sh—sh, teacher—sh! I’m a_rooster, 
and I’m a-layin’ a aig!”—Kansas City Star.
