Cock and the Thief

TDHERE was once a cock-and he
 was a very fine cock. indeed. He could crow louder than any of the other cocks. and he was big and beautiful. besides.
 There was also little girl-and she was very nice little girl. She could sweep cleaner and dust better and do the farmers wife had ever had. That is why she was given a new. shining coin each week for her very own.
 The little girl saved all these coins and put them in a little box. The box she hid out in the barn. Only the cock knew this hiding place.
 The farmer hired a man to work for him in the fields. This man was very didn't know he was so bad when he hired him. -
 One day this bad man saw the little girl put away coin in the box that
 Aha" said he: ".this very night I will go and steal the money"
 But the cock heard him say this. He quickly gathered together all the fowls the man had said.
 "I'll jump at him and peck his eyes out" said the goose.
 "So will we!'' cried the turkey and 50 will we.'
 The wise cock thought for a while No" said he; "I have better plan" That evening when the thief entered the barnyard he was greeted with such a cackling and ] growing and a icooing as was never heard before.
 The farmer could not help hear the noise. He jumped from bed. grabbed his gun and went down and caught the thief

 The rajah was frantic. In this land no one was permitted to do harm to parrots or kill them, so nothing could be done but wait until 1t died. It showed no signs of dying. however. and the rajah himself passed away in the meantime.
 The son of the rajah now became ruler and brought with him a new prime minister.
 Although no one knew it. this prime minister was a rogue. He had the key to the golden cage in which the par rot was kept. and he alone gave 1t food. He just simply ceased to feed 1t and. of course, 1t died naturally.
 As soon as the bird was dead he opened it and secured the diamond. Then he killed another parrot and painted 1t to look like the first. This ministers assembled to see the bird opened. To their surprise, they found nothing. But the rajah found a streak of paint on his finger after he had touched the bird. and was suspicious. asked leave to take a vacation. Be- fore his baggage was taken on board the vessel the rajah ordered 1t to be searched. The diamond was found! And the Wic:ed prime minister was

"HERE was great anxiety In Rome.
 The savage Gauls were approach

 The old senator Horatia's father, did not despise' the Gauls. as did the others. He had fought against them. and he knew that only well-trained soldiers could hope to overcome their reckless ness and bravery. The Roman legions were no longer well trained.
 The senator had slowed most of his valuable goods on a ship that lay near the city. so that he could send them and Horatia and her mother away. while he stayed to fight for his country.
 At last the Gauls had broken into Rome. destroying everything that lay in their pathway. In the meantime all WAS confusion at the senator's house. Servants were running this way ana that, shouting and crying. Missing her mother, Horatia became afraid ana nlu herself in a big vase.

Bill and the Kite

HILL MUMFORD thought heaps of TX Ben Franklin. Bill likewise was D much intrested in 'lectricity. You could tell that by the number O times he would ring doorbells and then scoot round the corner. It was won- derful to see how just pushin' button would make bell ring!
 There was one thing Bill wished to try. He wished to fly a kite like Ben Franklin.
 So one day out he goes in a howlin' thunderstorm with his kite with a key on 1t. Bill always was an idiot. Qm goin' to try to get him put out of the Bloody Robbers if he keeps on bein' so foolish)
 The kite was fiyin' all right, but some- how the key didn't seem to be tryIn' very hard to coax any 'lectricity to 1t.
 After a while Bill dropped the ball of string that wasn't unwound, and Squire Browns goat, that had been following him, went and swallowed it.
 Bill was so s'prised that he let go of the string he held in his hand.
 When l seen Bill, he was making streaks after the goat, and it was the goat who was flyin the kite. l ran an got the felers an maybe we didn't have fun watchin 'em.

think that he would have to print something about politics. As there was nothing to publish he declared he'd make something. He ordered the monkey to tell all Toyland that there was to be a big meeting. Un- fortunately. only the toy cat and the dresden china shepherd boy came, and the meeting was so dull that the shepherd boy, just to en- liven things a little, threw a rub Der ball at the captain. The ball knocked off the captains helmet, the boy and the cat ran away, and SO the speech was ended.
 ANIMALS WORKED HARD
 But the animals really did work hard. Every animal in Toyland was at his post and a glorious cir GUS they had. Noah arranged everything, and the. performance came of splendidly, with the ex- ception of two or three little acci- dents. A leg of toy rabbit was broken, and a glass eye of one of the ponies disappeared. Indeed, the crowd at the circus no doubt ac- counted for the small number at the political meeting. -
 That evening Anabelle and the editor compared notes. The Irish man set the type and ran off the edition on the toy printing press.
 Next evening there was excite ment enough, I can tell you. All Toyland crowded toward the editors office, each one with some grievance. No one was pleased with what had been said about them in the "Jour- nal" As they pressed forward the editor held them back at his sword's-point. But soon they over came him and broke him all to pieces. With him died "The Doll vile Journal"

in fit condition to drill. We'll, if you insist, I suppose l will accept the position. But shouldn't we have a meeting frstl"
 Toyland was so very busy that only few attended the meeting. Indeed, Anabelle, the captain, the Indian, the Jap, the Teddy Bear, and Topsy made up the whole party.
 As Anabelle always had her own way, the captain was speedily elect ed editor. Anabelle wished to be society editor, so she became so- ciety editor. But no one else could be found to take any share of the work.
 In despair the captain and Ana belle decided finally to do it all themselves.
 It took quite a time to hit upon a name, but at last "The Dollville Journap was voted upon.
 The editors first act was to ap- point the monkey his office boy. The monkey was very quick-when he wished to be-and, besides, would probably be able to report a great deal of news. The snail was very envious, as he thought the job should have been his; but nobody paid any attention to him.
 Then the captain strolled around Toyland, asking all the people to give him news.
 NEWS MADE TO ORDER
 Every one said they would be glad to do so. In fact, the rocking horse ran over the hen then and there, just so an accident could get into the paper.
 Nor was the society editor idle. Her doll friends had promised that they would have teas and receptions in order to help her. Of course, Anabelle was present at all of these. There wasn't much she didn't know about the doings of Toyland by the time her yisits were ended.
 Meanwhile, the captain began to

H OES Toylend enjoy itself
 Bless you, yes. Perhaps the people of Toyland aren't
 so happy during the day when rude boys and girls often treat them so shamefully and hurt their feelings. It is at night. when ether folk are in bed, that they come together and talk and play, in much the same way as boys and girls do.
 For many of the games played by the little folk of Dollville. the ideas were furnished by Anabelle. Ana belle was the pretty French doll, you know, and she was as clever as she was handsome. Never was she at a loss for an idea
