L" @~A HILDREN," said daddy, II am SUR you have both heard of Mays
a little lamb, which raised such a disturbance in school one day"
"a Evelyn and Jack both said. of course, that they had heard about
the famous little animal Sc daddy went o to say:
"Ihis evenings story is not going to be about a lamb which went to school,
but about a pack of hunting dogs which went there and almost frightened the
teacher out Of her wits. They did not brighten the scholars because they knew
the dogs This is how the trouble began:
These dogs belonged o a man who used them when he went hunting He
lived in the country. and all the children IN the neighborhood knew him as Uncle
Jack. He was fond of children. and they liked him, and his dogs also liked
the little ones and would lever hurt one of them. Sometimes the dogs would
follow the children, and Uncle Jack would have difficulty in getting them
Zone day Uncle Jack went to visit a friend who lived several miles from
the other mans house "a the schoolhOuse The weather being warm, the door
wasseft open by the teacher
There wal a LEI teacher in the school She did not know Uncle Jack or
his foxhounds. She vas a pretty young woman and easily frightened When
Uncle Jack and his hounds nesred the school he called the dogs by name to
get into the wagon, He thought. IF they strike the track of the children they
will go right into the school,
$50 Uncle Jack rode along slowly in his wagon and did not notice that
when be a quite near the school IF the hounds jumped out n a 10
ment the other Ave had followed the first and they ran right into the open
schoolhouse door
"Of course the dogs did not keep quiet as they rn. No. indeed! They
bayed as loudly IS they could, and l tell you six dogs ell barking together car
make a good deal OF noise The schooheacher said afterward that she "a
badly frightened, but she did not want to show how scared she was before r
pupils She had never seen such a pack of dogs before, for she had just come
from the city. But she did not scream or faint and the children were not
frightened. They knew the dogs, you see, and the animals knew them Such
q waggng Of tails as there was aud such barkins-why, it filed the whole
building with noise!
"In a minute along came Uncle Jack with his whip to drive the dogs out

leave, But the teacher al happy"

Then you didn't scrap with the madam
We'll, not SO you'd notice it. Not with that Madam. Why. she
vas the kndest lady l ever worked for. She wanted the work done and

Well, tell me, dear lady, who s C graphically describes to your

A japanese Fable.

One day the monkey saw the ant
climbing up a tall tree and thought
that he would amuse himself at his
expense.
"Look here. Mr.. Ant" said he. how
quickly you are ascending the tree!
Won't you have a race with me to the
top Of the tree? 1 ana certain that you
can beat me-"
"All right" replied the ant. and both
started to run up the tree from the
bottom. In a minute the monkey bad
reached the middle branch of the tree.
-vhila tho 1ittlo AMI had scareelv ira "
eled an inch.
The monkey looked down haughtily
upon the ant and then began to per-
form his favorite acrobatic feats upon
one Of the outstretchin9 branches.
Suddenly the wood snapped under his
weight, and he fell to. the ground. He
WAS so badly hurt that it took some
time before he could pick himself up.
In the meantime the ant had reached
the top Of the tree and won the ace.

his own ability often fails.

Isle Indian football players, did not
leave any hurts or bruises to worry the
veteran Carlisle coach, Warner, who.
however, eliminated the first string OF
redskins from practice tonight in order
to allow them complete rest.
The anticipation of a severe struggle
against Georgetown keyed up the In
dians to a good lighting pitch, and War
ner is making allowance for a little re-
action. To-day's practice began late,
and all but the varsity players were
given a round of rudimentary drills, as
a preparatory conditioning exercise fol-
lowing this. after a brief turn at run
ming the gantlet. in which several new
