 Well, we hitched up our little striped mules that we got from man who owed us and couldn't pay any other way to our old rickety wagon that we got with the mules, and put in our grub and our tent and the fishing tackle Then pa, got up on the seat and said, Ye-up, Lighting Ye-up, Thunder. and the mules baked.

 'Nathe and I helped the colt into Buttercup's pen and shooed the little calf under the fence into Dolly's pen And just then pa came up, and looked and said it was the most deuced thing he ever saw-it was a strange freak of nature, he said. But the farmer got awful mad. and said it was a scandal and 8 shame. So pa slapped Nathe. but I let MT. Wilkins slap me - he doesn't slap as hard as pa.
 Then pa said: You boys hitch up the mules, quick. before I whale you!'
 ''The only thing that pleased pa was when the ferryman said our $3 paid for the round trip. and pa said when that boatman died. and went away he would squeeze through the needles eye, all right."-Chicago News.

Lord bless my old friend the mule! 1 guess will go along And he said he would make those striped dickenses work or he would have the reason why put in the paper. So he came along.
 When we got upon the seats MT. Wilkins slammed two frying pans to- gether, and those mules started off as if they were invited down the road ten miles to eat a thistle dinner and it was getting late. The only trouble was that we went kind of bumpity and MT. Wilkins is pretty fat, so he asked pa what made the wagon have three cornered wheels.
 When we got to the river there was a new ferry at the fishing place and the ferryman said the best fish ing was on the other side so we let him take us over. but pa got awful mad at the ferryman. He charged pa S3 for the crossing. and that was all the money pa had with him. Pa said he didn't know how the ferryman knew it.
 Then pa said that some time that ferryman would get fooled on a job like that, because a rich man would come along with about s75 in his pocket, and that pirate would want all the rich man had, so the man would drive around the end of the lit

Reported Engagement of Famous Child of North
mailed" by Explorer-Father

PORTLAND. MAINE, Sept 27.-A
romance OF the Frozen North has
been shattered, a romance redolent
with the atmosphere of the Arctic, a
romance in which the name OF the
daughter of the discoverer of the
North Pole was linked with the name
of one OF her fathers sturdiest ad-
herents.
When the public prints announced
a few days ago that Marie Ahnighito
Peary would become the bride OF
Donald Macmillan, the famous ex-
plorer, those sentimentally inclined
sighed a sigh of sweet satisfaction.
Here, indeed, was perfection in ro-
nance. the famous Snow Baby, born
far above the Attic circle. was to be
the bride of a man who had conquered
the terrors of the North
The only trouble with the romance
is that it's not so, at least not ac-
cording to Rear Admiral Robert f.
Peary. From his residence on Eagle
Island the discoverer promptly tele-
graphed when he saw the reports OF
the engagement: The report that my
daughter. Marie, is engaged to Mac

MILAN is entirely erroneous"
And the romance was destroyed, the
romance that was just as it should
have been.
The news OF the enga cement came,
as 1t should have, from the North,
Newfoundland. And to those who
know Ahnighito It was in no sense
surprising. For all the romance Of
the subdued North Is in the heart Of
Miss Peary. She was born about II
degrees north latitude in Seutember,
1898
She was placed in the Georgetown
Convent and after graduating from
the Western High School of George
town fascinated Washington society
with her wholesome beauty and
charm OF personality. Thrice she re-
visited the land of her birth and It
was considered altogether fitting that
the man she weds should be one init
mately acquainted with the mysteries
of the land of ice and snow.
Donald Macmillan is now in the
North at the head Of the Cracker Land
expedition. which left the Brooklyn
Navy Yard last July. Naturally. he
has not been heard from on the ques-
ton of the engagement.
