A BOY, A GIRL, AND A GUN.
>'i I came downstairs the other (lay and found five-year-okl Billy and his three-!year-old sister industriously engaged at ■pounding the dining room table with a .toy gun. ■ When I asked the reason for this the children explained that they were playing "carpenter," which game proved rather disastrous for the finish of tho dining room table., . After punishing the children. I set myself to repairing the damage tliev had, 'done. Going to the cupboard, I took out the' everhandy tin of Johnson's Prepared Wax, took the piece of woollen rag ■with Which I apply it, and began work upon the blemished spots, and in less time than it takes to tell, the' scars caused by the pounding had been covered over with the wax and the finished surface restored to its original lustre.
