And again silly Mr.. Pig did as Mr.

reached the bridge over It Mr.. Fox: who
had the bag Of meal over his shoulder.

the bag tripped him over and down he
fell into the water
The bag had become twisted around

was carrying and hurried of to Mr..

and carried 1t to his home.
wicked Mr.. Fox. who had planned
such an easy time for himself and in

enabled Mr.. Pig to live in comfort all
the winter. because he was too greedy
and carried his cunning too far.

single complaint against the quality OF
the commodity which they are dispos-
ing OF at a price that is we'll within the

asked by dealers for the same grade
is considered. the Housekeepers' League
continues to meet with marked success
In selling eggs at "a cents dozen.
How well the movement Is being re-
ceived by the public IL indicated by the
fact that the league. in order to provide
for every section was obliged to estab-
lish fifty additional points from whicn
the eggs could be offered to buyers.
That the selling Of eggs at "a cents
a dozen will continue until the prices Of
IS and IS cents a dozen and In some
cases 40 cents dozen asked for the
same quality of eggs by dealers is
broken. was the statement made yester-
day by Mrs. Derr. In all proba billty the
success OF the egg sale may lead to a
similar plan being adopted in the sale

The Balkan war has made it practi

Christmas purposes, according to a
statement of Judge John S. Gambler,
one of the attorneys for the receivers
of the bank, today
He said the remaining assets of the
bank We're some lands in Alabama and
some lands in Cuba. The Alabama
lands are being advertised for sale, but
it is not likely that a deal will be
closed in the immediate future. Nego-
tiations were we'll under way to dis
pose of the Cuban lands TO a French
capitalist, but the Balkan war came
along. disturbing business conditions in
Europe and French capitalists who had
been interested dropped all thought of
sending funds out Of Europe.
Judge Gambler said that to dispose of
the lands at public sale would be
foolish sacrifice of valuable property.
There had been some chance of selling
the property in Cuba until the Cuban
