For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
GRAY WOLF.

r. the beginning Gray Wolf was long
and thin. NO thin that his ribs stood
IL out. But In the end he was fat and
sleek. and used TO sit and lick his
chops. And this liz how II happened.
Gray Wolf was a thief. AS everybody y
knows. In the daytime he would stay
close In the bushes. but by night he
would prowi around. his eyes cleaning.
and woo bctidc the animals that crossed
his path.
Ono night, in the beginning. when
Gray Wolf was thin. he went out to
take his walk. Hungrily he looked for
food. but could find none. But on his
way home he passed a little pond. In
the middle Of which sat a large fat
buiifrog. or course wolves don't eat
frogs, in the first place, and In the Sec
ond he wouldn't go through the water
for him. Just the same It made Gray
Wolf mad to see that frog 10 nice and
fat and happy.
Look at his ribs: look at his ribs"
croak the frog as Gray Wolf passed.
"I'ii cat you alive" growled Gray
Wolf, who did not like to he tcased.
.'Is that so: In that so?" croaked back
the frog. This made Gray Wolf 40 mad
he took a step toward the pond. But
the frog paid no attention to him. but
went on croaking.
I'm my Iarder is a nice. fat rabbit: In
my larder Is a nice. fat rabbit he
croaked.
Now. Gray Wolf did not know
whether to believe him or not. because
he knew frogs didn't cat rabbits. Yet he
was so hungry that he decided to find
out.
Did II die of old agc?" he asked the
frog.
"Oh! it's young and tender. young AMI
tender, 'grunted the frog in voice
that made Gray Wolf gnash his teeth
In hunger and fury.
What will you take for him. asked
Gray Wolf In his most pleasant tones.
hoping to get the rabbit for his supper.
zone hundred buds from the whiffie
ucc." croaked the frog in a deep voice.
Now Gray Wolf had never heard OF
the whfHc tree. and he did not think
that frogs would eat flower buds fny-
way But he was SO hungry that he de-
cided to try and get them. So he told
tho frog he was going to hunt for the
whiffie buds. and trotted of. As he
went nc heard the frog grunting to him.
self Gray Wolf thought he was laugh
ing. but decided to hunt for the whiftic
buds.
Gray Wolf did not know where to
hurt for ~hifhe buds, so he decided to
ask the Owl. who lived In a dead oak
tee not far from the frogs pond. He
found the Owl and asked him. in his po-
lite tones. where he could find a whiffis
tree
"Hoot! hoot! hoot:' laughed the Owl,
and shook SO hard he nearly fell of the
limb of the tree.
Gray Wolf did not wait for any more.
but trotted away. so mad he did not
know what to do. for he knew that the
owl had laughed at him. But he made
up his mind he was going to get that
rabbit for his supper. When he had
gone considerable distance he came
to a lame hawk

A Good Concert

The concert given by Kimballton
Orchestra last Sunday evening in the
Y. P. AS hall proved to be a great
success. Half an hour before the
program was to commence, all seats
were taken. Mr.. III. G. Norby de-
serves great honor for the we'll chosen
program, and Kimballton people are
proud of their home talents.
We do not know which deserves
the greatest praise, the fine carried
out pieces given by the Orchestra,
the splendid Male Quarle,te or the
beau,. fol solos. They were all highly
appreciated by the audience. One of
the most astonishing pieces was the
Flute Solo by S. Sorensen. We did
not know that in our little town was
talent of as high rank as this pro-
we'd, and we dare cay that flute solo
similar to Mr.. Soreusen's has never
been given.
The program ending with Lumby'a
we'll known "Champagne Galop" was
great delight to all present and We
wish to thank the Orchestra for the
lovely evening entertainment.
