Then they all looked at Mr. Crow and
begged him 10 tell his great secret, and
when they looked they saw he wasn't
eating pie, but was just sitting there pick
ing at ii with his fork a little. They all
told him not to be afraid to eat some OF
his own nice pie. for they were sure
there'd be plenty, and Mr.. Crow said In a
weakly voice that when he cooked he
never could eat very much. He said he
guessed he'd take biscuit and some
syrup. because he didn't feel quite well,
anyway. SO he pushed the c. y. pie
away and ate biscuit with butter and
syrup on it, and felt a good deal better.

MR.. 'PossUM ON JOKES.

Mr.. Possum didn't divide the p. c.
pie just yet, but kept cutting as IL II cut
very hard. and talking good deal while
he cut. He said that, speaking OF sur
prises. IT used TO be quite a fashion 10
fool people on the first OF April, and that
he'd known lots Of the biggest kinds of
jokes played on people that day. The
biggest jokes though, he said, were those
that came back on the people who played
them, and that he knew one Of that kind
once that made him laugh now every time
he thought about 1t. Then he did laugh
some. and sawed away and said he
guessed he'd struck bone; and the Coon
laughed. too. and Mr.. Crow was nearly
dying with trying 20 keep from laughing.
for he thought Mr.. Possum was saving
away on an old stick. He didn't want 10
let on. though. so he quit looking and
commenced cutting his own pie. He
laughed TO himself and cut minute, and
then. all Of a sudden, he didn't want to
laugh any more, for he had cut hole
in the top OF the c. X. pie and he saw
something and smelled something that
made him right sick. He looked over
quick 10 Mr.. 'Possums plate and what
he saw there made him sicker yet. For
there lay half of the r. c. pie and Mr..
Crow saw with one look that II was Just
as fine a chicken pie as ever came out Of
an oven.
Mr. coon had piece on his plate. too.
and they were saying what a fine pie II
WAS. and Mr.. Turtle and Mr.. Rabbit said

STORY OF C.. X. PIE
PART II-CONTINUED.
by Albert Blgelow Paine.

Mr.. Rabbit knew that the Crow would
have chicken either in dumping or pies.
and anyhow he needed "pies is" to rhyme
with surprises" and when he came TO
those lines and sat down the others
shouted and laughed, and Mr. Crow
pounded on the table and declared he
couldn't have done better If he'd been a
poet and written it himself! And the
Coon and the 'Possum both pounded too,
and said. That's So That's so!'
Then Mr.. Crow showed the r. T. pie
over between Jack Rabbit and Mr.. Turtle
and the pie that was marked p. c. be-
tween the Coon and the 'Possum. The
G. Y. pie he pulled up in front of him
self for, OF course, he never even sus-
pected that the top crust on them had
been changed by the 'Possum.
The finest way to eat them
In dumping or In pies is
he said. quoting Mr. Rabbits poem:
Oh. here's TO you, sweet April,
With all your glad surprises.
Then he told them not to be bashful.
but TO help themselves and remember
there was plenty more where that came
from. Just as he said this he picked up
his knife and stuck it down deep into
the c. y. pie. Mr.. 'Possum picked up
his knife and stuck IL down deep into
the p. c. pie, and Mr.. Rabbit picked up
his knife and stuck it into the r. T. pie
and cut it in half. Mr. Turtle was watch
ing him pretty anxiousy. for he remem-
bered what the 'Possum had said about
surprise. but when Jack Rabbit laid a
smoking half with the gravy running out
OF it on his plate he forgot all about
everything else.

But the money isn't everything

You can't make a trained soldier
in six months. It's all very well to
say that in case of war a million men
would rush to arms. That sounds
very fine-but the million men would
be absolutely in the way for the first
six months. They would be far worse
than useless.

encourage military training among

So in these enlightened days the

peace and as the best means to OBJ

are aiding to organize, the Army

In Atlanta General Evans, of the
Department of the Gulf, is planning
to make public talk on the sub

going to ask the people of Atlanta

1t sounds a bit odd at first to say
that the Army League, by working
for a bigger and better regular army
and more militia and reserves, Is
working for peace.

General Evans says. The way 20
have peace is to be ready for war.

Good looks mean a controlled ma

simple, fresh clothes as free from
tawdriness as the body they encase or
the mind that has designed them in
