THE BABES IN THE WOODS.
vI.-THE LITTLE scHooLMAAM.

One morning, three weeks later, Helen with many misgiviBgs started from Eagles Nest up the mountain road that led to the little scnoolhouse half a mile away. hint of frost made the keen mountain air more .inyigorating, and the barren stubble op each side of the road spoke of crops long harvested and safely stored for the fast coming winter. Miss had told Helen that there would surely be large attendance at the first day of school, for all the young peo- pie in the neighborhood were fercely inn patient to see the "city gal' for themselves irhe wonders of her education had gone widely abroad, for news travels fast in small communities. Some uv the big boys Il cut up ct first" warned Miss but soon's they knows ye they'll be good as ginger"
 Helen knew the school only by reputation, and expectsd to see an edifice of some size, bit she was thurderstruck by the shabby appearance of the barnlike building which met her eyes as she topped last long hillock of the mountain road. The schoolhouse was nary barn, one storied, built of rough logs, and with two rudl windows on each side;

Then this young mesmerist would lightly tap the rooster's bill and spurs with a lead pencil. The rooster would immediately ruffie up hls neck feathers, flap his wings, thrust with his spurs and go through all the motions of furious fight. He would keep this up until

few pieces of srass were brushed against his face and some buttons dropped upon hie toes he would scratch away at great rates as if doing his best to destroy garden. Doesn't it seem surprising that rooster should have such an imagination? The roost- CT was awakened by stroking the feathers on the top of his head backward and then giv- ing him a slight jolt and setting him on hls feet. It Is curious that the more he was mesmerized the easier it became and the more things he would do. And it did not hurt him in the least. He grew so large and handsome that he was finally sold fo- fancy price.

Iknew little boy who used to perform this trick very successfully. He had bright young rooster of which he was very fond and which he often brought Into the house. He would hold the rooster on his lap aud with its bill to the back of its'neck, pressing very lightly with the chalk. At first the rooster would appear sleepy and then would nod its heat very drowsily, and finally, to all ap- pearances, go fast asleep.
 If put upon the floor the rooster would re- main standing, but with It's eyes fast closed. Then the little boy would bring light near to the rooster's eyes, and 1t would stretch

 MT Wolf sat on the roof of MT. Beavers house and looked around as if he could scarcely believe his eyes, but finally he made up his mind he had better get to shore, so he gave great leap and made great splash, but finally got to the bank safely, although he couldn't swim very well.
 The fishes never tried to drink up the river again, for they knew it was of no use, but Mir. Beaver took no chances, for he built dam above and below his house, so that the water would always be about the same depth, and after he fixed the holein his roof that MT. Wolf had made he was better off than before. All beavers have built dams in that way ever since, and have always eaten suckers whenever they could find them in preference to auy other kind of fish, while all the other fish look down on MT.

The water kept coming, just the same, and as they were now completely full they could not stop 1t, and they saw it was of no use in holding the water they had filled themselves with, so they opened their mouths and let the water out. It came down the riverbed with great rush just as MT. Wolf had squeezed through the hole into MT. Beavers garret. As soon Beaver and his family ran out of the front door and into the water, which was rising

 boat at once when they were invited. Thei were very much disappointed when Peta and Pau, refused to give them any luach and they were so very hungry that they at one of the oars before Peter and Paul coul

eating an oar when he once starts.)

Peter and Paul were very angry, for they did not know how they would ever get home with only one oar. Then Rolo laid the re- mainlng oar across the edges of the boat and Peter and Paul rolled themselves up just like wheels. They hung themselves around the ends of the oar and turned around and around in the water, just like the paddle wheels of ferryboat. Of course, when the boat had two paddle-whees like that it went ahead at great rate Rolo sat in the stern and steered with his tail and felt more like sea dog than ever.
 They soon reached shore and took the fish home to their parents, who were prouder than ever of two such smart boys. The fish made a great fuss about it, and said 1t wasn't fair and was perfect shame, but nobody minded what they said.

The Merry -Go- Round brothers, Peter and Paul, were very proud at catching the Roo bird, for every one in the Circle Country praised them a great deal. They thought it was very nice to be praised, and felt just as you feel when you are marked perfect in spelling when you were not quite sure that you knew your lesson.
 They determined to go fishing and see if they could not catch Whang Fish. This fish lives only in the Circle Country. where everything is made of curves and there are

no straight lines at all.


 The way people fish in the Circle Country IS very different from the way you fish and much less troublesome. The fishermen does not take any fish lines or rods at all, but just basket of lunch. He rows his boat to a good place and then begins to eat his lunch The fish see him eating, and of course they get hungry. so they swim up to the boat and ask for bite. The fisherman tells them that 1t is against the rule to give them bite while they are in the water and that they must climb into the boat first Then the fish get into the boat and the fisherman will not let them out aga.e and there they are! This is very deceitful and wrong anywhere out side of the Circle Country. I have never tried it, but know it is wrong, and I never fooled fish that way in my life.

credibly informed that four newspapers
had been suppressed In Luzon by the
military authorities.

the effect Of granting the request would
be to continue the subsidy bill as the

thought the committee should under
stand the disposition TO set aside every
thing else for that measure. He referred
to the talk Of an extra session Of Con-
gress, saying that II was due to the evil
dent determination 10 keep the subsidy
bill TO the front to the exclusion OF all
other measures. He considered other
subjects more important and thought
they should take precedence. He con-
cluded with a positive objection to
