What funny house!' he said. "I won der who had the audacity to build a house in my ieldr" He did not go out for long while, but as there was no one about he finally went to look at the new house. "The door Is open" he said, as he reached the trap, ''and there doesn't seem to be any fur niture inside" Then he saw the bait, which was a fine parsnip, and Mir. Groundhog loved parsnips above anything else.
 ''I think will go in and look around" he said to himself. There is no one at home, and am afraid that parsnip will spoil there with no one to eat 1t. Besides, whoever owns the house had no business to put 1t here In my field" So in he went, and in a minute took great bite out of the parsnip. That sprung the trap and the trapdoor flew shut. My! what a strong windi" said Mir. Groundhog, and he kept on eating the pars- nip. until 1t was all gone. Then he went to open the door and go out, but the door would not open and poor Mr. Grounding was caught. He flew around like mad and tried to get out in every way he could think of, but 1t was of no use, and finally he sat down by the door all tired out.
 This must be trap" he said. q have beard of traps, but never saw one before. I'll bet Mir. Fox brought 1t here and set t for me. l have escaped him so long that 1t seems a pity to be caught now, but sup pose I must sit here and walt for him to come and get me- There was an open place in the trapdoor that Mir. Fox had fixed so he could look in, and as MT. Ground hog was looking out of this he saw MT. wildcat coming across the field. Mir. Wild eat saw the trap and came Up to look at 1t. "Hello What is thisY' he said, looking through the hole In the trapdoor. We'll weIli If there isn't Mir. Groundhog inside! What arc you doing here. old Roly Poiy?" "Hushi Don't disturb me!' said MT.

GLADYS MUSIC
 LESSON DREAM.
BY EDWARD E. ZIEGLER.

Gladys was not very apt pupil. She just loved to sit at the plano and strum- at least, that's what the professor called it. but when 1t came to putting certain fingers on certain keys, and not using the thumb on black keys, and doing ever so many things that she thought were awkward, she was awfully unhappy and very often cried.
 One morning her lesson had been worse than usual, and the professor looked at her without pity over his glasses and said, "Gladys, you must practice more.'' After he had gone she thought she would tell mamma, and find the usual consolation by burying her head in her mammals lap and crying, but then she thought better of 1t, and decided to be proud like grown up ladies, and so she started in to practice awfully

MT. Groundhog's Goose Box.

Groundhog. ''This is my Goose Box.''
 "Whatis a Goose Box?" asked MT. Wild cat.
 when 1 want to get some. fresh goose feathers for my feather bed" said MT. Groundhog, q get out here in my Goose Box and before long the geese begin to come and flock all around if. Then, when there are lot floeking around I jump out and catch three or four and pick all their feath- CTS of; then let them go.'
 What an awful waste" said MT. Wild, cat. Why don't you eat them after you have picked their feathers off?'
 'I don't like anything but vegetables. said MT. Groundhog. "I don't care for mea: of any kind, so can't eat the geese"
 Well, can," said MT. Wildcat, licking his chops. Now, MT. Groundhog, we have always been good friends and would like to do you favor You're getting so old and fat, if you will excuse me for saying it. that you can't jump around like you used to. Now, let me get in your Goose Box. and when the geese come fiocking around will jump out and get twice as many as you could, for l am thin and spry, as you can see. I will save all the feathers for you and I will have a nice meal from the geese which catch; so, you see, we will both be benefited by It.
 Well, as long as we have been friends SO long, will let you do as you wish,'' said MT. Groundhog. Help me oper the door,"

by the hands of white children, who furnish the treat as their share of the sunshine work.
 In Brooklyn there is another band of sun sinners doing very fine work.
 The Misses Inez and veda Milholland, two of the sunshiners who have been doing much good work in London, are now on visit to this country. They tell many interesting stories of the scattering of sunshine on the other side.
 New Jersey boasts something like twenty five junior branches. The old ladies in the Home for the Aged are well taken care of. The children in Foster Home have many delightful picnics. The fairs and lemonade stands will bring in lot of money and buy ice for the sick babies.

hard. She practiced that morning until lunch time,. and then after luncheon when. nurse came to take her walking with baby she refused and stayed indoors to practice. By dinner time her fingers and her arms and her little head ached, and she hadn't yet found out where to put the thumb and where not to put it, and when to pass 1t under and when not to; in fact, she had not yet found out any of those awful rules which, she imagined, were made only to tantalize little girls.
 At the dinner table she sulked, and didn't enjoy her dinner one bit until the plum pudding appeared and then she did most dreadful thing-she asked for two helps. After that she began to get drowsy, and kissed mamma and papa good night, and

MT Wildcat opened the door from the out side and Mir. Groundhog came out. Then Mr. Wildcat got in the trap, and MT. Ground hog slammed the door shut after him. Then he went away, leaving MT. Wildcat in the trap waiting for the geese. He waited and waited, but none came and at last he began to get tired. ''Mr. Grourdhog. MT. Ground hog!" he called but MT. Grounding did not come. Then MT. Wildcat began to suspect something, and he tore around the trap worse than MT. Grounding had done but he could not get out. Then he lay down by the trapdoor, just as Mir. Grounding had done.
 Mir. Fox did not dare to visit the trap dur ing the daytime, for fear that if Mir. Ground hog had not yet got caught he would never go near the trap If he saw MT. Fox around it. As soon as night came MT. Fox hurried to the trap to see if Mir. Grounding had been caught. He was delighted to see the trap door shut and felt sure of having roast Groundhog for dinner the next day. Mir. Wildcat heard him coming and thought it was Mir. Groundhog coming to let him out. He determined he would get even for the trick that had been played upon him, and he, too. had visions of roast Grounding for dinner.
 MT. Fox opened the door. and in minute
 he and Mir. Wildcat were rolling all over
 the ground in terrible fight. My! I
 didn't know MT. Groundhog had such sharp
 claws" thought MT. Fox.
 Gracious! I didn't know Mr. Ground
 hogs teeth were so long and sharp" thought Mir. Wildcat. They almost tore each other to pieces before they found out their mis- take, and Mir. Wildcat had to carry his left arm in sling and Mir. Fox had to walk on crutches for month.

 the melody he blew fitted in with the accom- paniment of the sounds the soldiers made bJ walking on the black keys. They passed the house, the sounds growing higher and higher; then nurse callersher to go walking with the baby. So the three of them started up the street together, and it seemed to hei the funniest sensation, because as they put their feet down the keys would sway dowI under their weight, and then they could hear the sounds of music coming out some where behind the houses.
 Everybody walking along the street madt different sounds, some very rapid and other dawdling ones. But funniest of all was thu sound made by the postman, who was com ing down the street, so instead of getting higher, the noises he made grew lower and lower. This amused Gladys very much, and she laughed so very hard and turned about to see where the postman was going that she suddenly slipped and fell over between the black keys, striking one of the white

In Blackfoot, Idaho, there are many little copper-colored sunshiners striving just as hard as the Japanese members in Totori to spread good cheer. They all wear the sunshine badge, and although the camp life is pretty hard sometimes, they find supreme pleasure in the sunshine work. They give d special evening each week for celebration, and the birthdays of all the children on the reservation are observed by some sunshine gathering. There is the birthday cake, with candy and nuts, and each child gets a book and some pretty cards. These are generally furnished from fund made up by contributions from the children them pretty things. Sometimes to this fund are
