much about the pictures that nearly an
he birds and auimas ordered dozen

Mouse and Kerchug. the leap frog. were
so pleased that each Of them ordered two

Just what 20 DO Ugly Dog went back
and stood 10 from, OF the photograph gall

a low bow.
Good morning, Sly Fox. Ha, Hat

Joke. After the running house struck

paw up 20 his neck and felt q an over
and then said: You are very foolish
animal. Ugly Deg. Anybody can sec that
my neck Is very short and very grace
ful"
Il don't wonder that YOU do not care
to have your picture taken" said Ugly
Dog. silly Goose passed by here only
yesterday and ordered two dozen. ! don't
suppose that my partner Moie would care
to risk his camera taking "A picture OF one
50 ugly, anyway. It's too bad that your
tail is so short and stubby."
Now. Sly Fox was very proud OF his
long and bushy tail. and when he heard
what Ugly Dos said, he became red
In tho face
ITS just as we'll" said Ugly Dog. that
you do not take a very good picture. for
hear that YOU have so little money now
than you could not AFFORD TO DO so. any
way"
Then Sly Fox shook his paw In Ugly
Dogs face.
Take my picture right away" ne said
"and I'll let YOU know that have money

done"
So Ugly Dog called down to his friend
Mole, and Mole came up with his cam
era.

Dog.
Sly Fox sat down. and behind him r-riv
Dog put funny kind Of tongs passing TO
a long rod He put the ends Of the tonrs
under Sly FoX's ears and screwed them
up real light.
That's 20 keep your head stlu." said
Mole.

around, for he was held so fast that ne
had shooting pains in his head
Look pleasant. please" said Mole. from
under the cloth which was over the cam

ded Ugiy Dog very quietly
So Sly FOX stayed sitting there with his
arms folded and trying 70 look pioasant.
although the tongs about his ears were 80
tight that his eyes stuck out. ard ne could
hardly keep hfs tongue from haneing
down. Mole took tho camera back INFO
