WORDS OF WISDOM.

Love is sweet. In fact a good bit
of it is taffy.
Time is money. especially if you
take it by the forelock.
Some men outlive their usefulness
and others never have any.
Some things go without saying.
but woman isn't one Of them.
Wisdom always knows when to
quit
A man must marry before he can
fully realize how many faults he has.
Tell woman you can read her like
book, and she Immediately gets red.
A woman saves money for a rainy
day in order that she may buy silk
stockings.
A little push will generally outlast
a strong pull.
Why should a church mouse be
considered so poor? He doesn't have
to live on the collections.
Many a man is offensive, even
when he is on the defensive.
He who takes things on faith gets
many Jolt.
Marriage is a contract, but there
are lots of contract jumpers.
The trouble with the upstart is that
he never feels downcast.
If you would be popular. give more
applause and less advice.
Most young fellows who are dead
in love manage to come to life again.

some people will try to play on our
sympathies.

They were all so eager to keep the
little stranger that the Man promised
to get them a cage from town.
So after breakfast Big Brother and
Boy climbed aboard the launch, and
with their father away they sailed
down the Bay, their little boat sing
ing ''Katy-did. Katy-didn't," all the
way.
The big water was no longer still,
for big, frolicsome Southwest Wind
had awakened every sleeping Wave.
So. with little white nightcaps still on
their heads. they had all gayly tum-
bled out of their beds, and, merrily
/, laughing all drowsiness away, they
were now chasing each other in wild
, boisterous play.
But the little brave launch and it's
passengers gay sailed on right over
them without dismay; for you see
, they knew them and every day had
seen these same Waves act in just
this same way.
1t wasn't long before back they
came with a cage and q supply of
; mixed nuts. Batting the cage with
some of these nuts they somehow
succeeded in capturing poor little
hungry Skiddoo.
After a while he became very tired
of his little prison house, and his lit
tie limbs became sitter and sitter,
until finally he curled himself up in
a little ball, in the farthest corner
of his cage, and there he stayed. re-
fusing to eat, but all the day mourn
ing-mourning-m
The children felt very sorry for lit
tie Skiddoo and decided to let him
out to make him happy again.
So one day they opened his prison
door and anxiously waited for him to
creep out. Breathlessly they watched
him spring up to the piazza rail.
Would he run away? No, he simply
, sat down and looked around as If
begging for a nut. Cautiously they
, carried some to him, and he seized
them eagerly as they laid them on
the rail. He felt hungry, now that
he was free once more. and soon be-
gan to whisk and frisk around the
piazza. Then down onto the board
walk he went, and, finally spying
that open door under the house, into
: that cool. dark place he jumped
again. There he decided to go to
housekeeping. So there is where he
hid his nuts and where he slept while
he stayed with them.
All this time the lonely forgotten
mother was waiting for the return OF
her little son Squirrel Gray.
The Wind brothers in Woodland
saw how she was worrying and pitied
the mourning mother. So one day
they met together in Cloudland and
talked It ali over, and each promised

"Oh, well, they have grown some,

That's strange" repeated the

to do what he could 70 get Squirrel
Gray to go home TO his mother.
One day South Wind blew over
across the Bay the whistle of the
quail, and, when Skidoo heard that
familiar call. "Bob-White. Bob
White!" he stopped and listened and
thought: why. that sounds like my
chum, Bob-White, whistling to me.
Wonder where he can be-"
Another day East Wind tried his
plan. He carried some oak leaves
down to the edge OF the water, then
asked the Wave children IL they
would please carry them across the
Bay. OF course they were willing. so
with the help of their Uncle Tide,
they left the leaves on the shore op-
posite the bungalow.
There Skidoo found them as he
was whisking and frisking up and
down the beach. Oak leaves! What
a sad, homesick feeling they brought
to Skidoo! They were like letters
from loved ones at home. While he
stood there reading them he was
filled with longing for the cool home
tree. but where was 1t? How could
he get to It? He had forgotten the
way.
So, miserably he crept under the
house again, to get away from the
hot shine of the sun-ball.
Little Skidoo was now really and
truly homesick, and North Wind
thought It was just the right time to
try his plan.
The next morning early. when Ski
doc hoped feebly out along the
shore to get a cool breath of air be-
fore the sun-ball appeared, he heard
something that startled him at first,
but then gladdened him. He heard
some one calling Mania! Ma-Mai"
and there, stepping slowly toward
him, was a big, black, solemn look
ing crow. All. we'll he knew that
this old black crow was telling him to
go back home to his Mama. So he
went.
