THE FLYING SQUIRREL.
BY FARMER SMITH.

Br'er Rabbit sat in front of the fire
smoking his pipe and reading the morn
ing news from a paper which was
scratched on birch bark.
We'll, 1 do declare, Mr.. and Mrs.
his wife. Mother, dear do you sup
pose Squirrels can fiy?"
How funny you talk, Why, of course
they can't fly. Who said the could?"
Well" said Br'er Rabbit, why
wouldn't it be good joke to tell one of
the Squirrels to try to fly. just as
did?"
You talk so foolish. Go on and read
your paper and do not let me hear any
such talk gain. What would you like
for breakfast? Are you tired of lettuce
have some new beets and I will make
some sassafras sauce for them, If you
want me to-" said Mrs. Rabbit.
"All right" said Br'er Rabbit, but do
hurry. for 1 must be out and working in
that garden of ours
Brer Rabbit was in his garden work
ing as hard as he could when he sud
denly saw a Squirrel on limb near by
and he could not see how the animal
got there. Then he said TO himself:
Il do not care what my wife said,
am going to see if | can make this
Squirrel fly. l don't believe I ever saw
him before.
All the time Br'er Rabbit was squint-
ing at the Squirrel out of one corner OF
his eve He saw that 1t was unlike any
he had seen before. When the Squire
sat up his little paws barely stuck OF

chestnut in color. deepening into brown
on the back, and it's little ears were COW
cred with short and soft fur. Once in
while when the Squirrel stretched
himself Br'er Rabbit thought he saw
something connecting the animals four
feet. but he not sure.
BY and by he got so curious he said,
Hello. Mr.. Squirrel, how is flying this
morning.
Very good replied the Squirrel.
You talk as If It were a hard thing to

Goodness never a Squirrel

Yesterday I saw aschild put a toy
snake on another child's shoulder and
then laugh when the other child
screamed with terror
OF course, that is not a remarkabl
thing 1t is not strange that q child
should think fear funny. Especially
since only a few generations ago in
sanity was considered subject for mirth
by amost every one, and even at the
present day others besides children
Taught at drunkenness.
But the remarkable thing was that
the mother, instead of reproving her
child. laughed with him.
l think the child should have been
talked to, and, if he ever did it again,
severely reproved
1t does not seem to me that children
are taught with half enough emphasis
how terribly wrong, how terribly dang
erous, and how very far from funny
it is to cause terror.
/ remember once seeing mother
when her elder daughter locked her
little sister up in a closet where the
two were playing laugh with the older
girl at the hysterical screams and
frantic poundings of the younger girl
| know that she thought the young
er child too nervous and too easily up
set, but she certainly wasn't taking q
very good way to mend the failing
and at the same time she was stimu-

THE BOOZE FIGHTER.


Watch him
There he goes, clothes shiny at the
seams, unclaimed hat and shoes,
slouchy. furtive. He slips into the
side door of the saloon.
What happens there? You can fancy.
The barkeeper knows him. He pushes
a bottle Of ''all sorts''-cheap whisky
over the counter. With trembling hand
the booze fighter pours out three fin
gers"
It goes down hard. He tries a time
or two to lift it, his stomach protest
ing,. and finally takes it in both hands.
Once down there Is long conclusive
shudder, and he gasps for very little
water for chaser"
Inside Of three minutes he is out Of
the saloon
Looking about him, he shuff1es down
the street, his hat slouched over his
face, his coat tightly buttoned and his
arms close to his side as If in depreca-
ton of the world-untl the "bracer,"
having given the desired shock to his
heart muscles, sends out the poisoned
blood to the extremities. Then he
straightens up.
! He is another man now.
Unbuttoning his coat, he puts bis
hat on the back of his head, bis thumbs
into his vest and smiles. Life is good
again. And the booze fighter begins
to dream his dreams of reform, of
domestic happiness, Of business pros

The whisky that is in him gives him
a brief, false sense OF strength, and
he mumbles his protestations about

| What is the matter? The man is
poisoned! If the modern laboratory
reveals anything for sure it reveals the
fact that in whatever shape, always
and everywhere, alcohol is poison.
1t does not, cannot produce strength
of body or mind-only apparent, seem
ing strength. And its reactions are
deadly.
The man is poisoned. Under the spe

it-alone he has deliberately, systemat
ically, poisoned himself. And eact
continued dose of poison gives cumu

Suppose the awful craving has beer
