PUP EVEN WORSE THAN MAN
Trying Experience of Two city-5red
Girls Who Were Wadlne In
the Brook.

They were two city girls, yea, they
were city bred, and had romantic
ideas concerning the green fields and
running brooks. They went to the
country one day last summer to spend
Sunday-to a place far away from the
prosaic things of the smoke-laned and
dust-coyered metropolis of Indiana.
Their destination was ever and ever
SO far from the public highway where
no rude man would think Of penetrat-
ing.
They partook of their white meat
dinner and then wandered down to
the running brook-that dear little
brook that sings as 1t gambols along
over the pebbles. AS they sat on the
bank, quoting poetry, and patting an
overgrown pup OF the shepherd type,
one OF the city fairies made mo-
ton tina: they pull of their slippers
and stockings and wade. The other
fairy seconded the motion and after
scanning the earth and horizon to
make sure that no horrid man was
near, they stepped into the water,
shivered little, and began to wade.
II
They left the gRizzled pup to guard
their cinderelIas and had great time
| and all to themselves.
When they wandered back to the
spot where they had left their pedal
coverings they were horrifed to see
that one tiny slipper. with a yellow
silk stocking tucked snugly in its
toe, had disappeared. They realized
Immediately that the playful pup was

hungry at that particular time, ant
