he didn't get any further than the
wicket before Elsie Winston's face
stopped him. She explained the mat
ter to him as she slammed it. Just a
few New England women who have
got tired of men and have decided to
live their own lives in their own way,
she said.
There was round dozen of EN-,
and they farmed the land and MIXED
their own cows and made their own
butter The plan was a hit from the
start, especially as Molly, who was
twenty-four and pretty for her age,
drove the cart round the houses, wear
ing mask and a loose Mother Hub
bard. But what gave everybody turn
was the big sign standing outside the
gate, which read No Men Admitted.
"Zeke Smith was one of the first to
come and see what was doing. He got
as far as the wicket, and there Elsie
Winton's face stopped him.
You can't come In, Zeke,' she ex.
planned, being man. I'm sorry
you're a man, because if you weren't
you'd be welcome. But we don't have
dealings with men any more. except in
a business way

thinking what chance he had missed.
for Elsie Winton was fine cook and
could make two pounds OF butter
where nobody else could make more
than one pound and a pint of butter
milk. But it's about Molly Bowen |
meant to be telling you-her that had
the affair with Ed Green.
AS was saying, Molly drove the
cart and pretty soon folks began to
notice that she wasn't as punctual rs
usual And as for Ed. whenever the
boarders howled for him to make a
KICK about the victuals, he wasn't any,

pretty soon folks began to understand
what was happening. Elsie Winton
started on her rounds at seven in the
morning, as regular as clockwork, and
she didn't get back before ten. And

drive the cart we began to notice that
all the young fellows In the village
had got the early rising habit. Ed
Green, in particular, who never used
to wake up until he smelled the bacon
frying, got up as regular as the sun
and started taking a country walk be-
fore breakfast. Jim Rogers, who had
been beauing Winnie Custance before
she joined the society, got interested
in birds, and said that the early morn
ing was the best time to observe them.
Jennie Whites beau, Ike Shoemaker,
who had always been good-for-noth-
ing sort Of fellow, started composing
poetry, and he said he had to be up to
salute the sun.
However, the folks round here.
who, as you may have observed, are
snoopy, couldn't help noticing that
they all used to take the road past
here that leads up toward the institu-
ton. And we guessed that some day
or other Elsie Winton would come
home unexpected and raise Cain. She
is powerful woman with her tongue,
as you may have noticed.
1--WE got so interested that nobody
thought very much about anything
else. Bill Wise, who farms on the
ridge, told US he used to see the young
fellows gossiping with the girls over
the fence that had been put up. 1t
wasn't much of fence, being COM
posed of arbor vitae, which takes
more than six weeks to amount to any
thing. And l guess the boys weren't
slow.
well, to get on, at last the flare-up
came, and in just the way we had
looked for. Elsie Winton came back
one morning at half-past nine, and
there were Ike and Ed and Jim hob
nobbing with Winnie and Jenny and
Molly over the arbor vitae. And two
or three more of the young fellows
with the girls, too
"And Molly, being woman, saw
that 1t was best to get her tongue in
first.
"'We're done with your old society,
Miss Winton,' she said. Ed and | are
going to be married on the first of the
month
"'And Jim and | on the fifteenth,
put in Winnie Custance, glaring at
Elsie Winton.
And Ike and l are going to be en-
gagged as soon as he makes some
money out of his poetry continued
Jenny White.
Gust then Zeke Smiths cart came
up the lane, and Elsie Winton called
to Zeke. Come here she said.
"Zeke came numbering along with a
grin.
Repeat to me what you have just
told me, said Elsie to Zeke
We're going to be married tomor-
row. said Zeke, twirling his hat nerv-
ously.
Shed beat them all, sir. And when
the boys understood they just let out
yell, and started kissing and hugging
all round. So after that the society
was naturally dissolved, and Zeke uses
the house to keep his chickens in. But
! guess the spirit of enterprise hasn't
died out Of New England yet, even if
the women did have to show the men
they couldn't have them in order to
bring them up to the scratch.

Baby Grand. Don't you think 1t was
worth it?"

THAT big new building up on the
hill yonder? Wasn't there last time
you we're In these parts, four years
ago? / guess you're right It's quite
bit of a story, though. You see, 1t
served its purpose and-but I'm be-
ginning at the wrong end.
Last time you we're here we talked
about the number Of unmarried wom-
en- in New England, didn't we? You
asked why some Of 'em didn't emf
CRATE. Well, guess most men are
alike, and if they couldn't find EN-
here they wouldn't be apt to do so in
the West You see, though, they say
there are two women for every man in
this part of New England, some of EN-
ought to have got married. But none
of EN- could. Marrying seemed to
have gone out Of fashion hereabouts.
There was that Elsie Winton, whom
Zeke Smith had been counting off and
on for twenty years or SO. Well, after
q time Elsie naturally got tired of him
and his procrastinating ways. And
Molly Bowen, about whom there had
been some talk concerning Ed Green,
the hotel man. He didn't come up to
the scratch. And there was Winnie
Custance, and Jenny White, and Nell
Pringle-they didn't get their beaux
any further than the ice cream coun-
ter, and that's how the idea came
about.
THE folks in Boston thought at first
it was nunnery. The Chronicle sent

Little Bedtime Stories
JAY LEARNS WHAT A BAD
NAME MEANS.
(By Thornton ". Burgess. }

Wy AhObASOh w. bur8eSS.)
Copyright, 1914, by ]. G. Lloyd.)
Sammy Jay started out very hope
fully to make himself right with his
netghbors. You see he had made the
mistake of telling as a fact something
that he only thought was fact. He
mad spread the news all over the
Green Meadows and through the
Green Forest that Old Man Coyote
had given up his home and gone away,
and there had been great rejoicing
among the little people who fear Old
Man Coyote. Sammy had really
thought it true when he had told that
story. but it wasn't. and now every
body knew It Rnd would have nothing
to DO with Sammy. So he had thought
and thought until at last an idea had
come to him for making himself right
With his neighbors. He would tell
them some good news that was true
that he knew was true. Then they
would be glad and would forget about
his mistake the other day.
So straight to the Smiling Pool few
Sammy Jay and tried not to see that
all who were there turned their backs
on him when they saw him coming.
Say. he cried as soon as he reached
the big hickory tree on the edge Of
the Smiling Pool, I've got some news
you'll all like to hear. and it's really,
truly true!"
"Chug-a-rum!" said Grandfather
Frog in his deepest voice.
ITS very pleasant day. isn't it?"
said Jerry Muskrat to Billy Mink.
Billy nodded. 1T isn't exactly Jay
weather." said he.
"Chug-a-rum! Ha, ha. ha! Chug-
a-rum!" Sammy Jay turned his head
quickly to look at Grandfather Frog,
but Grandfather Frog was gazing up
at or Mistah Buzzard sailing round
and round, way up in the blue, blue
sky, and looked as solemn as If he
didn't know how to laugh. Sammy
swallowed hard to get rid of lump
in his throat.
Its about Farmer Browns Boy
and his traps-he's put 'em away.
Anyway he's taken up those he sci
for Old Man Coyote and thrown them
In corner just as If he didn't intend
to use them again." Sammy was try
ing to be wholly truthful.
There was little Jay
Who found it didn't pay
To tell tale we know wasn't true,
true, true.
For one who will deceive
We will no more believe:
He fooled US once and that'll have
to do, do, do.
1t was Little Joe Otter who said
this
But 1 didn't mean to fool you. 1t
was all mistake. thought it was
true. Truly did," said Sammy mis-
erably. Anyway. this about Farm
er Browns Boy and his traps is true
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-11-11
"Chug-a-Rum!" Said Grandfather
Frog in His Deepest Voice.

because saw him with my own eyes
take. up those traps and carry them
home and throw them in corner. It's
just as true. as-as that l am sitting
here in the big hickory tree"
"Chug-a-rum!" said Grandfather
Frog quite as If talking to himself
"A bad name is like burr-it is easy
to get, and once gotten, it sticks.
Those who steal or tell things which
are not so are"
"Oh. know. You needn't finish it.
Because they have made mistakes
they are never again to be trusted"
interrupted Sammy bitterly. II
thought you folks would be glad to
know that Farmer Browns Boy has
thrown his traps in corner, and SO
came over here to tell you. I wish
hadn't. I wish-I wish he would
come set his traps all around the
Smiling Pool. so there!" Sammy
spread his wings and prepared to fly
back to the Green Forest.

When the mellow days are with US
Is pleasant season too;
Then the wild goose far above us
Fills the sky with his halloo.
There's crisp and bracing flavor
In the very breath of morn,
And the world can quantity SAVIOR

Can't you hear the cider presses
Sort of groaning on the breeze,
And the melancholy rattle
OF the wind among the trees
There is apple butter boiling,
There are cracklings in the pot,
And the celebrated chitlin
Somes to cheer our mortal lot.
They are all a part Of autumn, all es-
teemed and unforgot
How the wizardry of autumn
Can make glorious the hills!
There are caravans of plenty
At the little country mills.
There are pyramids OF apples
Where the steamboats, come and go,
And the leaves fly willy-nilly
Where the tempest loves to blow.
Alas! for JOY Of autumn-it shall pass
