Beckie Stubtail, the little bear girl,
came slipping and sliding on the way
home from school one day. Into the
cave house she hurried, singing little
song that went something like this:
See the snowflakes softly fall,
Some are short and some are tall.
See them falling through the air.
1T would be funny sight.
II some day-or even night,
All the snowflakes in our town,
Should fall up instead of down"
"Why, what . queer song!" exclain1-
ed Mrs. Stubtail, the bear lady,
Where did you learn that, Beckett"
"Oh, in school, ma" spoke the little
bear cub girl, as she took OF her sky
blue.pink tail ribbon and put on .
dish-pan colored one. "Oh. ma, what
are you cooking that smells 10 good 2"
Beckie asked. as she put on hot cross
bun colored apron to help her mamma
with the Homework, az she often did
when she came home from school.

Stubtail They are almost ready to

bear girl went on.

So Beckie began mixing up tho loft
over dough to make her biscuits, and
when Mrs. Stubtail took out of the
oven the lovely brown ones she had
baked, there came knock on the cave
door.
"See who that is, Beckie dear" said
Mrs. Stubtail, az she set her pan OF
biscuits down to COOL.
''It's Mrs. Wibblewobble, the duck
lady" said Beckie, AZ she opened the
door.
"Oh, Mrs. stubtail!" cried Mrs.
Wibblewobble, 80 excited that her yel-

ing the first of April The expense of
operating a big piano store, same as
we have always conducted, is about
$4,000. Necessarily this means good
round prices for pianos. In the future
we are going to sell pianos at prices
that will make people sit up and take
notice. We are not going to employ
an army of statesmen at large salaries
and large expense accounts. There
fore. during the month of January we
will sell an Emerson piano, new, dir
ect from the factory if you wish
which we have always sold for $500,
for 1926 on terms of $40 down and 50

for your paying high prices in the fu
ture. We want the best quality OF
business there is to be had in the
