Part 3 — A Pencil Holder

Reading edition

Procure a piece of paper, 7 in. long and 4 in. wide, and roll it one time around a lead pencil, then coat the remaining surface of the paper with glue. Roll this around the pencil and a tube is formed, which will hold a pencil or even pieces of pencil down to 1/2 in. in length.—Contributed by W. D. Brooks, Paterson, N. J.
