Long time ago, the 'possum had
beautiful bushy tail. He was so proud
of it that he eombed it out every MORN
ing and made up some songs about It.
The rabbit, who had only stump OF
tail after the bear pulled most OF It
off, got very jealous of the possum
on account of his tail. and decided to
play trick on him.
There was to be a great council and
dance of the animals, and the rabbit
said that he would invite every one to
come. He went to tell the 'possum,
and the 'possum said:
Il will come IL you will be sure to
have a special seat for me. / have
such a fine tail that / ought to sit
where every one can have good look
at me-"
Very well, said the rabbit, Il will
have the best seat for you; also, |
will send you some one to comb and
dress your tail for you" The 'possum
was pleased. and thanked the rabbit.
Then the rabbit went to the cricket,
who was such good hair cutter that
he was called the barber. You 50
and dress the 'possum's tail for the
dance" the rabbit said to him; and
the rabbit told the cricket just what
to do
Next morning, the cricket went to
the 'possum's house and said that he
had come to fix him up for the dance.
you just stretch out and take it
easy" said the cricket. So the pos
sum stretched himself out, shut his
eyes, and let the cricket do his work.
Now the cricket combed out the
possum's tail and wrapped a red rib

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry. thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair. the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with bit OF
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated. the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair TO protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
man could suffer from coffee drink
ing SO severely as to cause spells of
unconsciousness. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.
Il used to be great coffee drinker,
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak 1
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time.
My friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. I would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation l concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then I have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
I feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. / now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as I am seveztg years of age all
my friends thiRk the improvement
quite remarkable"

bon around it to Nkeep it smooth until
that night at the dance. But as he
combed, the cricket clipped off all the
hair close to the roots, and he wrapped
the red ribbon around a bare tail
When night came, the possum
went to the council house where the
dance was to be. and he found the
best seat ready for him. so, my
friend Rabbit keeps his word, said
the possIm.
His turn came in the dance, and the
'possum loosened the red ribbon from
his tail and stepped into the middle
of the floor. The drummers began to
beat, and the 'possum began to dance
and sing, "Oh, see my beautiful tail,"
Every one shouted when they heard
what the 'possum sang, SO he danced
around the circle again, singing See
What a Fine Color My Tail Has.
Again, all of the animals shouted, and
the 'possum danced around a third
time, and he sang, See How My Tail
Sweeps the Ground"
This time the animals shouted louder
than ever, and once more the 'possum
danced and lang. See How Fine the
Fur of My Tail Isl" Then every one
laughed so long that the 'possum won
dered what they were laughing at
Some one said, Look at your beauti
full tall" and the 'possum, for the
first time, looked down at his tail.
Not single hair was left on tit
was as bare as a lizard! The 'possum
was so surprised and ashamed that he
could not say word; he Just rolled
over on the ground and grinned! And
that is what he does to this day when
he is taken by surprise.

QUEER LITTLE PRISON BIRD
How a Beautiful Variety OF Hornblil
Becomes Prisoner During
Nesting Time.

Sylvia and Betty drew their chairs
close to Uncle Ellis.
ooh, yes" he said. 4 promised to
tell you about the queer little prison
bird. Well, its home is in Africa, and
it is called prison bird because 1t Is
really a prisoner during its nesting
time.
Father and mother prison bird
build their nest in the hollow OF
tree; they go through an opening in
the bark. With downy feathers
plucked from her own breast, the
mother prison bird makes the nest
quite coy and comfortable; then she
enters and settles down in it.
Father bird at once plasters up the
entrance, leaving an opening that ex-
actly suits the form Of his beak. The
opening is only large enough for air
and food to pass through.
Mother bird lays her eggs, matches
them. and stays with the baby birds
until they are old enough to fly.
During all of that time, which is
said to be several weeks, the father
bird stays near his home, and keeps
faithful watch. Without fail he
brings food to her as often as she
needs it.
1T is a sad thing If the father bird
dies. OF in any way is kept from tax
ing care of his family. The mother
cannot free herself, and so she and
the baby birds starye to death.
AS soon as the baby birds are able
to fly, the father tears away the bar
rier 10 his home with his beak, and
sets them and their mother free, and
the little prisoners greet the light and
the unknown world.
at seems to me that the father bird
must be glad when the task Of feeding
his mate and babies is over"
@Has the prison bird any other
name. and is it pretty bird?" Sylvia
asked. when Uncle Ellis had finished.
"Yes," said Uncle Ellis. 1T is kind
OF hornbIl. and it is beautiful bird"

ion.
