Then she went for the scissors. Then
when they came back with the things
she told her brothers to take the bark

with the scissors and then ran for

Then she took them and formed nice

the white paint and painted it. Then
she took more sticks and nailed them

Of course Lena was a trhe sour already
but only pleasantly so. However, there was
more danger OF her turning than the other
Candy children who were entirely sweet
But one day Lena went TO the pickle jar
while her mother was out and ate every single
pickle
Afterwards she went out to play. She
meant to call Fanny Fudge, who lived next

liked Tom and she liked ice cream cones, too.
But something made her speak the way She
did
As the afternoon went on Lena found herself
at every turn saying exactly the opposite Of
what she meant and offending all her best
friends. Finally, in despair, she ran home to
tell her mother all about it, but, instead, she
burst out with:
"Oh, mother. what have you come home for?
] wish you had stayed away"
Her mother looked very sad and said, Lena,
you have been eating so many pickles you
have turned quite sour. What can we do with
you?'
Lena hung her head, for now she understood
why everything she said turned out sour and
cross sounding.

for you 10 get some Kindness Honey, mace oy

times day after meals
Where can l get it," asked Lena, eagerly
You'll have to earn it," said Dr. Candy
Tongs. "for the bees are most particular
about who they give it to. They make the
honey entirely from Kindness Flowers, and
these flowers only spring up when people do
kind things. So, in order to set the honey you
will have TO do some kind thing every day tor
at least a week Then go into your garden,
read aloud this prescription, and see what
happens"
Lena ran home and Immediately began do

week she went into her garden and reaC aloud
from the pape- DR.. Candy-Tongs had given
her:
Here l am, Good Tempered Bees,
Dr. longs says give me, please.
Honey made in happy hours,
From the lovely Kindness Flowers"
Soon after she had read it, the very largest
and handsomest bee she had ever seen, dressed
in yellow velvet with black stripes, few up and,
dropping at her feet package Of honey, done
up in a white rose petal and tied with ribbon
grass, said in big, buzzing voice:
Here's your honey, Lemon Drop,
Take it all, but do not stop
Planting may Kindness Flower.
Then you'll never more turn sour
Lena Lemon-brop followed his advice.
Needless to say, she did not eat any more
pickles, either. and soon became one Of the
greatest favorites in Candytown, owing to
her sweet and charming disposition.

Because your face isn't clean.
So they wheeled him away in a wheelbarrow
To the middle of the market place,
And pumped and pumped till there wasn't speck

Then they wheeled him back in the wheelbarow
Because his face clean.
And he took off his hat and made bow

for vaudeviIlians, but it remained for
Mrs. Belle Dodge, wife of Kendrick
Dodge, cOlOred, to take the WiscOn-
sin town into court as an impossible
place to live. (KenOsha please nOte.)
Mrs. Dodge, who now conducts a
rOOming house at 1884 S. State St,
brought ken" into court charged
with wife abandonment, but Ken
brought in a letter written by Belle
in which she regretted to cause him
pain, but declined to live in Kenosha,
as "she was on the verge of insanity"
Ken, who had worked ten years for
the Badger Brass Co., KenOsha,
thought the town was a tiptOp place
when he wOOed and won and welded
Belle last October and took her home
with him, but after she had lived
there three weeks the lure of the big
city called to her and she returned
to Chicago. Later she went back to
KenOsha and stayed two more weeks,
but in December she wrote Ken that
she was going out into the world to
fight for herself again rather than
live in Kenosha." In April Ken agreed
that she should come to Chicago and
open a boarding house, but by May
he grew tired of paying his board in
KenOsha and house rent here, so he
came to Chicago fortified by letter
OF recommendation from the brass
company.
Dat letter am all right" said
Belle, as the letter was handed to
Judge Fisher, but the brass company
don't have to live with Mr.. Dodge. He
is a very close man. If I asked him
for 81 he would pretend to go out on
the street, meet a friend and borrow
it and I know he's got money Of his

Belled BuzZard Caught.

A special from st. George, S. c.,
on Thursday says:
''The famous belled buzzard that
has been reported to have been seen
and heard for some years has at last
been caught. Several years ago a
belled buzzard was reported to have
been seen, but none had been able
to catch it until S. A. Shorter, who
resides on the farm of J. H. Behling,
Esq, of this place, caught this bird
in a trap and took from his neck a
large sized bell, with the initials of
IT. NJ. W., Va, 1896 This brass
bell is now at the Office of the Dor
chester Eagle, where anyone who
wishes to see it may do so. The first
reports of the belled bird were taken
as a joke, but now it is seen to be
a fact"

Notices have been posted in many
of the Partisan cafes that patrons
who do not have the right change to

cept postage stamps or checks for
change for any sum less than ten
SOUS. says an Associated Press dis
patch. This is another indication of
the scarcity of coppers, which nu-
merous collections for charitable pur-
poses have: withdrawn temporarily
from circulation, and the fact that
since money became scarce there has
been a tendency on the part of the
people to cling to. what they have.
Some people are said to be boarding
coppers because they the afraid they
will get entirely out of them, and
others, it is charged, are collecting
them with the less worthy motive OF
making five francs premium on every
hundred francs in copper coin de-
liyered at certain confidential points
It is the old story of the Germans try
ing to drain France of it's copper. The
real reason is thought in official cir
cles to be simply that the absence OF
gold overworks all the minor de-
nominations, copper and nickel. as
we'll as silver.
The mint is handicapped by the
mobilizing of some of it's machines
for other urgent work for the nation
al defense and the copper coinage
fell last month to 100000 francs.
