FABLE OF UNWISE BROTHERS
How They Went to Prison for Steal
ing from Rich People.
NOT IN CLASS OF wALLTNGFORD
So They Delayed Game Until Contest
Came 20 an Fad and Then They
went 10 work for wealthy
with WheelbarrOw.

once upon n time two brothers entered
a great BooRlovers' contest.
they were the children OF Door people,
and it made their hearts glad to think
that perhaps they would win an automo-
bile and he able to take their old mother
out for a JOY ride
I'VE will run over the naughty rich chill
dren that live in the marble mansion on
the hill" one Of the enthusiastic con-
testants said, land dear old mother will
be so pleasedv'
And they grew so cheered, thinking over
their dreams, that they hid behind a fence,
and when the naughty rich children came
along in their dog cart the two poor
brothers soaked them with rocks and went
home rejoicing over the discontinue OF
the idle rich
wanted Title Catalogue.
Now. both brothers wanted to buy a title
catalogue and one of them wanted to give
several extra answers to the pictures; but
neither of them thought Il advisable to
spend the money at once So they kept de-
laying. Then they both decided they did
not need the catalogue, but that they
would spend their money for extra cou-
pons. Extra coupons were bought Now,
of course they were wise in buying the
extra coupons, but they also were unwfse
in not purchasing a title catalogue.
IL will win this automobile without the
use Of a title catalogue" said the older Of
the brothers. for, OF course, not being
twins. one of the brothers was older than
the other.
81 will win the California land re-
marked the other brother, full Of hope.
while you are riding away in your ma
chine. giving the idle rich the honk! honk!
and making your motor hosrse shall be
in California turning the rich soil into
golden dollars"
But both brothers were figuring incor-
rectly, as you shall see.
Came to an End,
Well. the contest came to an end--all
contests as we'll as everything else, must
come to an end--even as the administration
Of one great political party must come to
an end, and even as w. ]. BryAn's run
ming for office will come to a close. When
the contest did come to an end, the broth
ers began answering their extra coupons,
but they found they we're not getting along
very we'll. They did not seem to have
the right answers. So they decided to buy
a catalogue and then they discovered there
was no money.
Their old mother had taken It for food!
Finally the brothers took the money their
mother had made at washing for the rich
family in the mansion on the hill and
made Bee line for the postoffice to send
for a catalogue.
But, alas, contrary to the story books
the letter did not reach the business office
in time, AMI the brothers received their
catalogue too late to return the answers
Lost Out ON PrAses.
So the poor children did not get their
sets in. Instead of getting an auto, they
had to work wheeling a wheelbarrow for
the rich people who lived in the mansion
on the hill. Finally they sank so low that
they stole back the money the rich chill
dren had stolen from them.
For that. OF course, they were sent to
prison.
Moral: Procrastination is no business
Be forearmed-that's forewaFning enough
for any one. II you cannot be a J. Rufus
Wallingford you have no license to attract
the attention of George NJ. Conan He
wants live ones.
Those title catalogues which the poor
children did not get soon enough are on
sale at the business office OF The Bee for %
cents They will be mailed to any address
for cents extra. Remittance must accom-
pany all orders either for catalogues or
coupons.
Answers to DOOkIOverG,
Will you please advise through your paper
whether any of the pictures represented
in this contest will have the same answer
as in the previous contest.-Omaha.
To answer this question with a yes" or
mo- would be giving contestants the titles
of seventy-five books which would or
would not be used. None of the drawings
in the first contest will be used, though
some of the same titles may be selected or
they may not be selected
