Frog and Spotty the Turtle, who are
such very, very slow travellers, had de-
| cided that the Big River was o far
away and so they would stay and live
in the strange pond for a while.
though it wasn't nearly SO nice as
their dear Smiling Pool. They had
gone to sleep now. each in his OWL
secret place, where he would be safe
for the night.
So Jerry Muskrat sat alone anu
watched. The black shadows crept
farther and farther across the pond
and grew blacker and blacker. Jerry
didn't mind this. because as you know
his eyes are made for seeing in the
dark and he dearly loves the night.
Jerry had sat there a long time with
out moving, listening and watching.
BY and by he saw something that
made him draw in his breath and
anger leap into his eyes. It vas a lit
tie silver line On the water and 1t was
coming straight toward the dam
where he sat. Jerry knew that it was
made by some one swimming.
Hal" said Jerry, now we shall
see!"
Nearer and nearer came the silver
line. Then Jerry made GU h head
Of the swimmer. Suddenly all the an
ger left Jerry. He didn't have room
for anger; a great fear had crowded
1t out. The head vas bigger than that
of any muskrat Jerry had ever seen.
1t was bigger than the head of any
of Billy Mink's relatives IT WAS the

So said Jerry Muskrat as he settled
himself comfortably on n end of the
new lam across the Laughing Brook
deep in the Green Forest and watched
the dark shadows creep further and
farther out into the strange pond
made by the new dam. I'm going to
find out who it is that built this dam,
and who it is hat fills the hole I've
made in it! I'm going to find out II
I have to move up here and live all
summer The way in which Jerry
said that and snapped his teeth to-
gether showed that he mean just
what he said.
You see Jerry had spent a whole
weary day making a hole through
that dam so that the water could
ono more flow down the Laughing
Brook into the Smiling Pool where
his home was. The mex morning he
found tina in the night some one had
filled his hole UP. Then he had spent
another long weary day opening the
hole once more. only to have it closed
again while he slept. That had been
enough for Jerry. He hadn't tried
again. Instead he had made up his
mind that he would find out who was
playing such q trick on him. He would
lust watch until they came and theE
if they were not bigger than he or
there were not too many of them he
would-well, the way Jerry gritted
and clashed those sharp teeth Of his
sounded as if he meant to do some
thing pretty bad.
Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter, who
had come up with Jerry Muskrat and
Grandfather Frog n Spotty the Tur-
tie to find out what had stopped the
laughter of the Laughing Brook, had
given up in disgust and started for
the Big River. They are great trav-
elers anyway, and so didn't mind so
much because there was no longer
water enough in the Laughing Brook
and the Smiling Pool. Grandfather

Arnerica for Me.

America for Me.
It 10 fine to see the old world. and
travel up and down
Among the famous palaces and cities
Of renown,
To admire the crulnbly castles and
statues of the kings,
But now ] think I've had enough Of
antiquated things.
So it's home again and home again.
and there I long to be.
In the land Of youth and freedom be-
yond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full Of sunlight and
the flag is full Of stars.
Oh, LONDON is a mans town, there's
power in the air:
And Paris is a woman's town with
flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice.
and It's great to study Rome.
But when 1t comes to living there's
no place like home.
I like the German fr-woods, In green
batillions drilled;
I like the garden Of Versailles with
flashing fountains filled;
But oh, to take your hand, my dear,
and ramble for a day
In the friendly western woodland
Wnere Nature mas nef way.
I know that Europe's wonderful, vet
something seems to lack,
The past Is too much with her, and
the people looking back.
But the glory of the present Is to
make the future free
We love our land for what she Is and
what she is to be.
Oh. it's home again and home again.
America; for me.
I want a ship that's westward bound
to pillow the rolling sea,
To the blessed land of room enough
beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and
the flag is full Of stars.

that Jerry felt very, very small and
hoped with all his might that the
stranger would not see him.
Jerry held his breath as the strang-
err swan past and then climbed out
on the dam. He looked very much
like Jerry himself, only ever and ever
SO much bigger. And his tail: Jerry
had never seen such a tail. 1t was
very broad and fiat. Suddenly the big
stranger turned and looked straight
at Jerry.
Hello. Jerry Muskrat!!" said he.
Don't you know me?"
Jerry vas too frightened to speak.
I'm your big cousin from the
north: I'm Paddy the Beaver, and if
you leave my dam alone I think Well
be good friends" continued the strang-
er.
I'LL hope So" said Jerry in a
Very faint voice. trying to be polite but
with his teeth chattering with fear.

Miss Nelson and Mrs. White will adj
dress the club women of Bismarck, in
the auditorium of the Presbyterian
church, upon matters of vital imports
ance, n a cordial invitation is en-
tended to all those interested In the
message they will bring to attend.
Mrs. White has lately returned
from the Council Of Women at WASH

OF Information Of a most delightful
nature to impart. and it is to be hop
ed hat the ladies will be greeted by
the entire club membership Of the
flled with unusual interest. 1t is quite
likely that Mrs. barrow of Fargo will
be present, also, as she will be in the
city for the purpose of attending a
meeting of the library board at the
capitol today, and expects, with Mrs.
Amidon Of Fargo. to attend the dis
trict meeting at Dickinson. Mrs. OAR
row has just returned from an extend
ed tour of the east, where she made a
number Of notable addresses III the
interest OF suffrage.
1t had been anticipated that lunch
con would be served at the Grand Pa
cific hotel for Miss Nelson. but IN
view of the fact that only dinner Is
served al the 400 hour, 1t was
thought that too short a time would
be left for the addresses of no yever
informal a nature.
The club women. it is assured, Will
extend q royal welcome to the guests,
and show their appreciation of the
stop-over by being present i'll large

Making Whipped Cream

will you kindly print in your help
full Corner how to make whipped
cream as 1t is served over the different
ice creams in the stores? l understand
powdered gelatin and white of egg are
used with the cream. II so, viii you
kindly tell me just how to go about
whipping, say one-half pint OF cream,
also the quantity of sugar and flavor
ing to add? MRS. NJ. c."
Set the cream in ice until 1t is thor
oughly chilled. Turn into chilled shall
low dish and for each half pint add two
teaspoons of powered sugar. Begin at
once to beat it with an egg beater not
removing the foam as 1t rises, and keep
this up until you have a thick, smooth,
white mass. When the cream is of the
right consistency whip in whatever
favoring you prefer. A teaspoon to a
pint of the whipped cream should be
enough IL the cream be rich and sweet
1t should double the original bulk in
the whipping. This is the simplest, and
to my taste the best, way of making
whipped cream, or, as ii is sometimes
called, "syllabub." | do not like the
flavor impaired by the addition of gela-
tin, and a meringue of beaten white of
egg makes it less rich. In the first
place, have everything used in the pro-
cess ice cold, and whip the cream in q
rather cold room. You must have "dou-
BILE cream If you buy it from cream
cry. If you have fresh, undiluted milk
take off the cream in a mass and use
it as above. Gelatin is generally added
