WHY POSSUMS
ARE GREASY.

One day Brother Bear told all the other
animals he was going to have party at his
house. He said it was going to be swell
affair. Brother Rabbit was the only one
who wanted to go, and so. when the time
came, Brother Rabbit dressed up, put some
flowers in his buttonhole and started Off
Brother Rabbit hadn't gone far when he
ran across Brother Fox, sitting by the road
in his dirty clothes. Brother Fox said:
Hello, Brother Rabbit! Where are you
going, dressed up like that?'
Brother Rabbit said: why, Brother Fox,
amt you going down to Brother Bears
party? I'm going there"
NO; that't too much of swell affair."
Why. Brother Bear is going to have pickles
and ice-cream. No. amt going'
Brother Rabbit begged and begged, and
finally Brother Fox consented to go.
They had not gone far when they came
across Brother Terrapin, crawling along in
his dirty clothes. Brother Terrapin said:
Hello, Brother Rabbit! Where are you
and Brother Fox going?'
why, Brother Terrapin. amt you going
to Brother Bears party? l and Brother Fox
are going"
Brother Terrapin said: Its too swell an
affair for me. Brother Bear is going to
have a stew, and l can't eat stew
Brother Rabbit begged, and Brother Ter
rapin went with them.
They walked on, and soon they saw Mr..
Jim Crow sailing round in the air. Brother
Rabbit called Mr. Jim Crow and asked him
if he wasn't going to Brother Bears party.
Mr.. Jim Crow said no, that 1t was too much
of swell affair; that Brother Bear had
sign out, which read like this:

And Mr.. Turkeybuzzard turned round and
made for home. Then the animals went in
and danced and sang and talked. Then
they went to supper. Brother Terrapin could
not get a chair high enough for himself so
Brother Rabbit he put Brother Terrapin on
a shelf. right above Brother Bears chair.
The first dishes that came on were pickles
and ice-cream. Brother Fox he got up, said
Good night gents took his hat and made
a bee line for home
The next dish was stew. and as Brother
'Possum put It before himself Brother Ter
rapin reached over to look at It and lost his
balance and fell hitting Brother Bear on the
head. Brother Bear jumped up and over
turned the table, throwing all the grease all
over Brother 'Possum. That is why pos
sums are always greasy.
Brother 'PosSum was so ashamed at being
so greasy that he sneaked out the back way
and went home and made Mrs. Postum
grease the little 'POSsums and herself. and
since that day every possum has been
greasy. HUGH NJ. WILKINSON.

APARTY TRICK.

Here is a trick which is always very eff
fective at party OF any gathering Of young
people, and sometimes with older persons,
too:
Take a tin cup, or cup Of some other
metal, and ill It almost full Of spirits Of
wine. Into this PIT a teaspoonful Of COM
mon table salt AMI stir it thoroughly until
the sat is dissolved. Place this upon Il wire
frame and fix the frame over spirit lamp
or dark lantern. so that none of the light
from the lantern can shine into any part OF
the room. This should be done in one end
OF the room and the company seated in
line as near the center Of the room as pos
sible.
As soon as the cup gets so hot that you
cannot rest the tip Of your finger against
it. hold a lighted match near the mixture
of spirits Of wine and salt. very small
yellow fame will arise from the surface
and gradually increase in size. Now put

Princess, there is no use OF saying / love

Brighteyes told him she would remain
with him. Prince GoldenheTt and Prin-
cess Brighteyes were married and lived
very happy afterward.
The dove was restored to the Princess,
and she loved it twice as much as she
mad, for through it she had met her hand

with one or two assistants held at bay the
hungry crowd of little authors, who all
wanted to sell wonderful stories, poems,
serious articles, suggestions and other
columns.
The Sunday editor could not. of course,
see all of these writer's, read their manu-
scripts or look at all the drawings and the
assistant was kept busy explaining that the
eCitor was a very busy person, and that they
would have to leave their work or call again
OF course, they all knew the editor was al
ways busy, so they insisted on either seeing
the boss or submitting their ideas for
haSty decision.

will be two lights, one white and the other
yellow. You must be careful not to have
the white light stronger than the yellow one,
and then while one-half of each will appear
in its proper cOlors, the other half will still
be a vivid yellow, and the dividing lines will
be sharply defined.
TO get the best effect of this you and your
friends should be seated in two lines facing
each other with light on each end of the
lines.
A little girl with black hair and a gray
dress, for instance, will present a most pc
cuiar appearance-loOking perfectly nat
ural on one side, while on the other side she
will be yellow from head to toe.

marry a prince who was very wealthy but

She thought she would rather marry
this strange prince than the one her

They urose, kissed her hand and depart

was becoming drowsy
At last she stood in front Of a beautiful
Talace. Two maids advanced to meet
Brighteyes. Both were dressed in deep

and led her into the palace As the dreamy

"And I amt going any place where can't

and finally Mr.. Jim Crow said Yes"
They had gone little ways, when they
heard some one say:

Mr.. Jim Grow said: Come on, Uncle

Mr.. Turkeybuzzard said he would go if Mr..

next day. Mr.. Jim promised he would, and
Mr.. Turkeybuzzard went with them.
Soon they came across Brother Wolf,
Brother Lion, Brother Coon and Brother

* Princess * Brigbteyes. 4
BY JOSEPHINE CHURCH.

Long ago there was a forest which was
as black as night. A beautiful young
princess lived not far away, who owned
many pets.
Princess Brighteyes, as she was called,
was very fond of animals of all sorts.
Fierce beasts were gentle in her hands.
One day a white dove owned by Bright
eyes flew into the Black Forest. 1t was
her favorite bird, and, instead of sending
for servant, she went for it herself As
soon as she entered the forest she heard
beautiful, dreamy music great way Off

was growing dark, and she was in this
strange room.
As she sat there wondering the door was
noiselessly opened and the maids again
entered.
They fell on their knees before her and
wept bitterly. Princess Brighteyes asked
one what the trouble was. The maid an
swered that their master was made cap
tive in the palace by witch, but if
Brighteyes would consent to become his
wife, he would be freed from the spell.

 tends to prevent our young people
