Get me my silver spoon out of my sewing basket" commanded Miss Hen, and MT. Squirrel went to the sewing basket to get the spoon among the spools, and among other things he came across big lump or wax that Mss Hen used to fix her thread so she could thread her needle when sew ing. Mir. Squirrel put the wax in his pocket and gave the spoon to Miss Hen.
 ''Let me make you some hickory nut pud ding while you are waiting for the pot to boil,' said he. Miss Hen said that she had never tasted hickory nut pudding but that 1t sounded good, and both Mr. Squirrel and Mir. Chipmunk said it was delicious.
 MT. Squirrel mashed some nuts up very fine and mashed up the wax. Then he mixed them together, and heated the mixture over the fire. As soon as it was melted thor oughly he told Miss Hen 1t was ready. When 1t was cool enough to eat Miss Hen took her silver spoon and put an immense spoon ful In her mouth. She rolled her eyes aroundI In all. directions and tried to spit 1t out, for 1t did not taste at all nice Much to her sur prise, she found she could not open her mouth.

they all set out for the cave, led by proud Master Georgie.
 They reached the cave, and what do you think?
 There lay old MT. Sharptooth, fast asleep on the pile of wool.
 Sh! Sh! Shi Softly and silently the farmers surrounded the sleeping wolf. Then, quick as scat, one grabbed his tall, one grabbed one foot, another grabbed another foot, another another, another another They pinned MT. tSharptooth down and held him fast while Georgie's papa took great big pair of iron pincers and pulled out every one of MT. Sharptooths great big teeth. Then they let him go.
 Because he couldn't bite, you know. They packed all the wool up, took 1t home ana spun and wove 1t into warm clothing for the poor children of the village. . But poor old Mir. Sharptooth! He was sorry enough that he had ever stolen and eaten the farmers sheep.
 He couldn't eat without teeth, you know, and he grew so thin that his ribs fairly rat. tied. There was nothing left of him but skin and bone, and he would have died 1T Georgie hadn't had a good, kind heart.
 Georgie got an old nursing bottle Of his baby sisters, got milk from. the cows and every day fed old Sharptooth till he grew fat and sleek, and they say that he now loves Georgie and follows him about just like big pet dog.

We must find another hickory nut tree,' said Mir. Squirrel. They each tok basket and filled 1t with all the nuts it would hold and started off together to find another nick ory nut tree.
 They walked for long time and kept a sharp watch for another tree like the one they had left, but, although they found some hickory mt trees, not one suited them; some were too small, some were too old, and some had mean little nuts on that were not worth gathering. At last they grew hungry and sat down to eat their lunch. They ate lot of nuts and played games with the shells, and finally they thought they would take a nap, so they lay down beside their baskets and went to sleep. They slept very soundly In the warm sun, but were finally awakened by some one shaking them. They awoke at the same time, and saw an old lady with very cross face looking down at them. She had each of them by their coat collars and held them tightly.

 Georgie looked up and there, right by his side. stood MT. Sharptooth, grinning, his white teeth gleaming in the sunlight,

 ''You needn't worry about dinner, said the wolf, ''I'll take you to dinner, he grinned smacking his lips and thinking what n very fine dinner little boy would make for hungry wolf.
 Georgie trotted along beside old MT. Sharp- tooth, laughing and prattling about the birds, the bees, the trees and the scamperlng squirrels and bunnles they s, saw, until finally they came to the old wolff cave,
 They went inside and MT. Sharptootn said: ''Now sit down and make yourself at home Georgie, I'll be back in q Jiny.

q am very fond of hickory nuts." said Miss Hen, so MT. Squirrel and Mir. Chip munk began to crack some for Miss Hens supper. Whenever they attempted to stop she made them go on, until they were all cracked. Then MT. Squirrel offered her some in a dish. "I can't eat them that way" said Miss Hen.
 But we don't know how to cook them," replied Mir. Squirrel.
 .They make the finest stufhing there ever was,'' said Miss Hen.
 'Stufing for what?" inquired MT. Chip munk.
 'Stufing for Chipmunks and Squirrels" replied Miss Hen, showing her teeth.
 Mr. Squirrel and MT. Chlpmunk looked at her, almost scared to death.
 Don't stand there shivering," cried Miss Hen. Hurry and make the fire and put the pot on to bol.'
 ''Now get the salt and pepper" said Miss Hen, and they got the salt and pepper.

asked sharply and what are you doing in my timber lot?"
 We are Mir. Squirrel and MT. Chipmunk, they answered, sand we are looking for a hickory nut tree, for ours has blown down."
 Well, come along with me and tell me all about it.'' The old lady, whose name was Miss Hen. held Mr. Squirrel and Mir. Chipmunk by their coat collars and walked them long way through the woods to little house in hollow. They were very much afraid. for the old lady had very long teeth. and she was three times as large as MT. Squirrel and MT. chpmunk, but she jerked them grossly whenever they tried to hang back and showed her teeth so savagely that they did not dare to make any objec- tions. Miss Hen took them into the house, and, after locking the door very carefully, put the key in her pocket.
 ''Now stir around and get my supper for me-" she said, "for am so tired with walk ing that I must sit down and rest. What have you In your baskett"

Mr. Squirrel and Mir. Chipmunk saw that she was fast they ran around, laughing and making fun of her, and this made Miss Hen so angry that she made a great effort and got her mouth open. But the wax in the hickory nut pudding had stuck her teeth together so fast that when she opened her mouth the teeth remained stuck together, and it pulled them right out of her jaws, so that they fell on the floor, still held fast by the wax. When her teeth were out Miss Hen could not hurt MT. Chipmunk and Mir. Squirrel. so they were not at all afraid, and they made her open the door and let them out. There were all kinds of nut trees around Miss Hens house-hickory nut, chestnut, butternut, walnut and other klnds-so MT. Chipmunk and Mr. Squirrel picked out nice one and lived there for the rest of their lives with plenty to eat. Miss Hens teeth never grew again, and to this day, if you look in a hens mouth, you will not see a single tooth.

Once upon q time farmer lived near great forest
 Deep in the dark heart of the woods hungry wolf lived in huge cave.
 There were plenty of rabbits, squirrels and other little animals in the woods for the wolf to feed upon, but they were hard to catch, and MT. Sharptooth-thatw was the wolf's name-lked the taste of lamb and mutton better anyway.
 So every night he would slip out softly and silently over the grass and leaves of the forest until he came to Farmer Goodys sheepfold.
 There he would pick out the plumpest, fattest lamb or eve or ram in the pasture and carry 1t away to his cave.
 Then he would eat it all but the bones and wool.
 The bones he would use to brighten and whiten and sharpen up his long, strong teeth, but the wool he would carefully pile up in corner of his cave.
 It made a soft white, downy and beau tiful bed on which MT. Sharptooth would sleep sweetly after filling his stomach with sheep.
 After many, many days MT. Sharptooth had eaten so many sheep and piled up so much wool in his cave that 1t made sort of snowy, woolly mountain.
 Like Little Bo Peep, Farmer Goody missed his sheep and didn't know where to ma them.
 one bright spring day Georgie Goody, the farmers little boy, was out near the Sneep-

The Merry-Go.Round brothers, Peter and Paul, lived in the Cirle Country. which is on the side of the earth just exactly opposite the country where the Angle family dwell. Everything in the Circle Country is made of curves; there is not single straight line In that region.

 Mfr Squirrel and his cousin, MT. Chip munk, had always lived near together. MT. Squirrel had fine house in the trunk of an immense hickory tree, and Mir. Chipmunk had his house in the ground among the trees roots. There were so many hickory nuts on the tree that they gathered each fail more than enough to last them all winter. They considered themselves very rich, and lived in great comfort until one day an awful thing happened; the tree blew down.
 Mir Squirrel and MT. Chipmunk were heartbroken. They knew they could never expect to gather any more nuts from that tree. for 1t would soon die and there was no other tree that bore nuts of any kind anywhere in the neighborhood.
 What shall we do?" asked Mir. Chipmunk.

 We would like our young readers to try and draw picture of Peter and Paul rolling down the mountain.
 The one rule to observe Is that only curved lines can be used. No straight lines or shad- ing allowed.

A FORTUNATE FARMER,

How He Succeeded in Spite of Hardship and

Man in Lower Maine..-No Reason Why

Everybody has had at least one good op-
portunity in his life, but everybody has not
made the most of his chance as did Mr.. F.
i. Brainard. His good fortune is the cause
of much comment among those who know
him, and, says the Maine Farmer, Augusta,
it was deemed advisable to look the matter
up for its news interest. The man in ques-
ton was found on his way to work in a
neighboring field but, upon the reporter
telling his errand, they went back to the
porch of Mr.. Brainard's well-kept farm
house.

happy day for me and never tire telling

"He gave me some medicine but it didn't

"But my good fortune began with the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-

not seem to help me much, but l kept on
taking them and, when l began on the Sec

Mr.. Brainard lives at Readfeld Depot,
Kennebec. Co., Me. At the request Of the
reporter, in. order that no doubt could re-
main as to the truth of his statement, he
made affidavit to the above before Fremont
j. c. Little, justice of the peace, June 4,
1901.
The after-effects of the grip have made
people miserable as Mr.. Brainard was, and
hundreds, like him, have been cured by Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Not
only will they cure cases similar to this but
they have been proved to be an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotOr ataxia,
