How would you like to see a
mouse?" said the Dustman when
he entered the bedroom Thurs
day night.
He held out his hand without
waiting to hear what Hialmar
had to say. and right away the
little boy began to grow very
small.
He kept on getting smaller and
smaller until he looked just like
a pigmy!
"You can put on the garments
of that little tin soldier over
there" said the Dustman, point
ing to toy soldier In the corner
of the room.
Hialmer did as he was told.
He looked so nice. The brass
buttons on his coat were so
shiny, too.
Just as Hialmar was looking
at himself In the glass along
came real mouse!
climb into your mothers sill
yer thimble and come with me-"
said the mouse.
Really" said Hialmer. will
you do that?"
So off they went, the Dustman.
the boy and the mouse.
Where do you suppose they
went? What do you suppose.
they saw?
Well. they went to a tiny
cubby-hole under the floor of the
dining-room. They found a
mouse wedding going on!
All the lady mice were stand
ing on one side. All the gentle
men mice were standing on the
other.
In the center stood the bride
and groom mice.
What smells so nicer" asked
the mouse who Just arrived with
Hialmar.
ooh, there is the rind of bacon
all over the passageway," an
swered one of the ushers.

slightly, adding / cup of milk and
a half teaspoonful of salt. Stir
in flour enough to make
dough too soft to roll, patting
with the hands into six little
biscuits. The secret of having
this dough right is to make 1t
quickly with as little kneading as
is possible and to bake it through
without letting it brown at all.
Bake from to s minutes in a
very hot oven. Serve Immediate
ly, breaking open (never cutting)
each biscuit.
Have ready 1 quart of straw
berries which have been hu1led
and mixed with 2 cups of granu-
lated sugar. BE sure you wash
your berries before you hull
them. After generously butter
ing each biscuit cover the two
halves of the biscuit with the
berries and pile il high with
whipped cream.
BE sure and give the children
their share first, for after tast-
ing, the grown-ups are apt to ask
for second helping.

The bride and groom stood In
the scooped out center of
cheese rind. Pretty soon the
ceremony was performed by
preacher mouse.
When II was all over Hialmar
returned.
He couldn't get over the fact
that he had been to a real mouse
wedding.
He wondered how he ever
could have got down into that
little space under the floor.
Just as he was about to ask
the Dustman how IL all happen
ed he woke and saw the sun
shining right In at his window.
The Dustman was gone. So
We're the mouse and the silver
thimble!

pretty blonde whom i loved

months ago, when she threw

At the time of our en-

though L have asked her for
it several times, she has
never returned IL. 1 have
found out later the reason
she threw me over is that 1
cannot afford to spend n lot

To Remove Grease Spots.
Dear Miss Grey: Can you
please tell me of anything
that will remove grease spots
from wooden goods, also off
of the floor?
Thanking you kindly.
EDNA.
A.-To remove grease spots
from wooden goods, saturate the
spot thoroughly with benzol;
place plotting paper beneath and
on top and press well. The fat
is dissolved, and absorbed by the
paper, and entirely removed from
the clothing.
To remove grease stains from
floors, cover the spot with tur-
pentine for an hour or two. Cover
with powdered tale and press with
a warm iron; brush OFF the tale;
IL spot has disappeared, rub with
wax: IL not, repeat process.
IL floor is not waxed or finished,
use oxalic acid and water, thei
wash we'll with soda and soap.

Those who enjoyed the plain old
Puritan English of Blackmore's

Vaughn Kester's John o. jamestown" "
The facts of history are interviewer as
in Blackmore's great novel. The
story deals with the old days of early
Virginia when the people lived in
the worlds nearest approach to a
land of milk and honey.
The five principal historical charac-
tiers are Lord De la War;. Powhatan,
John Rolfe. Pocahontas and John
Smith.
We meet the hero and heroine in
their home country-England. The
lad loves the maid from the start
The girls parentage is unknown.
They attempt to elope but are thwarted
and the hero joins John Smith in his
departure for America. In the end
he discovers that his Sweetheart is
of noble birth and they are married.

NEED OF 4 PARK IN COLUMBIA.

The remark most frequently heard
from visitors to a certain city is that
it has such beautiful parks.
The importance of town as a COM
mercial center or the character OF its
citizens is by no means so obvious to
the casual visitor. 1t is on the num-
Der and character of its business
houses, the condition of its streets and
the number of attractive homes and
beautiful parks that the visitor must
base his opinion of the town. And
il is by the comments OF the visitors
that the town is mostly judged on
the outside.
One of the things Columbia has long
needed is a city park. If well kept it
would attract the attention or the
large number of visitors to Columbia
each year and prove a source of pride
and pleasure to the citizens.
Now is the time to set aside a plot
of ground for this purpose. The value
of land in Columbia has increased at
a rapid rate during the past ten years
and is still rising. Desirable land is
becoming scarcer each year. Every
year the purchase is delayed means
an additional expense for the land.

to play, the head of the family also
should do a commensurate part in
combating the cost of living, which
! in recent years has become SO high
as almost to endanger the foundation
of family life in American society.
The men can do their part by cut
ting down a great many of their per-
sonal expenses. Billiards and pool,
drinks, lunches and cigars often cause
lavish expense. The saying that
women can throw more out the back
door than man can bring in at the
front may be true. but it does not
give the man an excuse for waste
All members of the family need to take
better care of their clothes, to avoid
lounging around home in their best
and to wear their street clothes as
much as possible. They must cease
making fun of the pennies and nickels
and remember they are as desirable
in their pockets as i'm the merchants.
To be successful, expense-cutting
must be cooperative
Conservation, of which we hear so
much as a national issue, can be ap-
Dlied very forcibly in the home. We
,an forego many luxuries and recrea-
ions which cost money without fore
going pleasure. for We can find many
we're there.
