Once more Mr. Fox jumped up. He
had thought of something, and Mr..
Fox was very, very hungry, and when
he was very hungry Mr.. Fox thought
fast.
He remembered seeing a box under
his wife's bed one day when he was
looking for his slippers, and when he
asked her what she kept in there she
was very cross and said he was al
ways poking his nose into everything,
and she told him she kept old pieces
of flannel and cloth IN there.
And that was the thing of which
Mr.. Fox thought, so he jumped up
and ran to the bed and pulled out the
box.
think he found-oId flannel and old
cloth? Not a bit of them; he found
cake and cheese and cookies and a
whole plum pudding.
Perhaps Mr.. Fox's eyes did not pop
with surprise. He looked one second
and then he fell to eating. He ate
so much he could hardly walk when
he finished, and all he left were
crumbs and ham bone.
He was too well pleased to be angry
at Mrs. Fox, just then, SO he closed
the box and slid it under the bed
again, then he brushed up all the
crumbs, and, having had good feast,
he forgot all about being afraid of
Mrs. Fox so he curled up on thes sofa
and went to sleep and dreamed of his
grandfather, because he had eaten
too much plum pudding. So we will
leave him dreaming and see what Mrs.
Fox is doing.
II suppose that Old Reddy Fox's
wife is having a good breakfast while
1 so hungry" thought Mrs. Fox, as
she trotted along, that is if that lazy
husband of mine has told the truth.
ANY way, 1 will not starve," she
said, thinking of the wellfilled box
she had stored under her bed. Il won
der" she said, and stopped as though
to go back. "Oh. he'll never think of
it,'' she said and trotted toward the
hole in the field
But when Mrs Fox came near the
field, she saw someone running ahead
of her; so, being very cautious al
ways, she hid behind a rock and
watched.
1T is Old Mrs. Reddy Fox" she
said, stretching her neck, Now, what
is she doing over there. 1 wonder.
Maybe she thinks she will find an
other goose or hen"
Then Mrs. Fox thought of the
breakfast she lost, and she trotted
across the field right toward Old Mrs
Reddy.
Mrs. Reddy saw her before she
reached her, and she looked very

BOY BEAT HIS WAY.
Joplin Youth, Lured by Tales of West,
Coming Back Again.

The orange groves of sunny Cali
fornia have no fascination for Don
O'Burke, a 15-year-old youth who
left his home in Joplin, Mo-. several
months ago and beat his way to
California to pick oranges. Instead,
he himself was picked-by the local
police Wednesday evening and lodged
in the city Jail
When found the boy was beating
his way home and said that he got
off a freight train in Topeka thinking
turned over to c. n. Bacon. poor
commissioner, this morning and was
furnished with transportation home.
According to the boys story he has
travelled more than 5000 miles, beat
ing his way, in the last few months.

FOX.
MIR. FOX AND OLD REDDY FOX.
Part II.

Mr.. Fox jumped up when his wife
closed the door, and if she had seen
him she would have been even more
supicious, for he quite forgot to limp
or hold his shoulder that had panied
him few minutes before.
When he had watched her disap-
pear he went to the pantry, but not
thing could he find. 1t was as bare
as old Mother Hubbard's, and Mr.. Fox
went back to his chair and began to
think.
81 guess she will be convinced that
I was telling the TRUTH he thought.
Anyone can see that something hap
pened around the top of that hole, but
I wish 1 knew what she is going to
think before she gets back

Lieutenant Governor Morgan. in his
editorial correspondence to his Hutch
inson News. presents in a nutshell the
basic proposition relative to the ap-
Preparations before the legislature for
buildings at the educational and other
state institutions. "a great deal is
being said about the deadlock on ap-
preparations" writes Mr.. Morgan.
This does not seem to me to be as
serious as some people think. AS 1
have said before in this correspond
ence, it is largely question of
whether the state should refuse re-
pairs and new buildings where needed
in order to hold down expenses, or
whether or not give the states prop
erty the same attention and put the
same expenses on to it that business
man would his own property" sasasgss

In all probability, the problem of
cutting down the consumption of
foodstuffs in Berlin could be quickly
solved if the German government
would give the butchers and bakers
and grocers free hand and permit
them to charge what they pleased for
their wares. They could be depended
upon to put their prices up to such
figures that all the Berlin folks. or
most of them, would find it absolutely
necessary to worry along with consid-
erably less food. This would be a
mighty unsatisfactory way out of the
dilemma and would work great
hardship on the poor of Berlin. but
it's the method that obt~ ins in this
land of the free in reducing the con-
sumption of foodstuffs.

Suppose the United States should
consider it necessary to intervene with
force in Mexico. Would this Mexican
patriotism that much is heard
about result in union of the follow
ers of Carranza. Villa, Zapata ct al.
against the common enemy, which
Uncle Sam would then be? 1t doesn't
seem probable. Each of the Mexican
leaders in the limelight at present APP
parently has about as much love for
the other as rival society queens
