"You are very kind to say that

anything of the sort; land l am glad
l can help you, Toby Dog.
"You will find If you walk short
distance down this path clump of
bushes, and back of these bushes you
will find an opening; it looks very
black and deep, but it is the only place
l know of that will be big enough
| for you to live in; SO don't be afraid,
but go in and look around; you better
give few barks and growls SO if any
bats or owls have taken possession,
they will know they have to move
out" Toby Dog thanked Mr. Fox and
trotted off looking very pleased, in
deed, and Mr.. Fox closed the window
and began to laugh.
Toby Dog found the place Mr. Fox
had told him about, and he walked in
boldly and began to bark and growl;
it was quite dark inside, but the frst
thing Toby Dog knew he touched
something soft which growled louder
than he could, and sometimes hit his
nose which made Toby ki-yi with pain
Out of the place flew Toby, and
something after him, and just once
Toby glanced around and saw terri

Mrs. Possum told the children to
play dead and stay so until she told
them to be alive, and then she hurried
to the window to call Mr. Fox, who
was passing, to look out for himself,
| for Toby Dog was on his way to the
deep woods.

starting to run, and he didn't stop
| until he was safe in his house with the
door closed behind him
Toby Dog was all this time thinking

would be to have him come there to
| live. They all know 1t was Mr. Man
who was hunting them, and that had

Toby.
When Toby Dog reached the deep
woods he saw only the birds flying
about He looked for Jack Rabbit and
! Peter Squirrel and their families, but
not one did he see. Toby poked his
nose into all the bushes and tree
stumps, and around all the rocks, but
no sign could he find of any of them.

TOBY DOG

Toby Dog decided he was badly
treated by Mr.. Man, and, although he
had never lived anywhere else Toby
Dog was sure It was the very worst
place a dog could live in the world,
and SO he decided to move.
Toby Dog ran out Of the barnyard
and down the road until he was out
Of sight Of the house and he sat down
by the roadside to think.
IT have It" said Toby at last. I'll
go into the deep woods to live; every
body who lives in the deep woods al
ways seems happy. l have noticed
whenever ! have passed through
So Toby Dog trotted off very fast
for the deep woods Jack Rabbit hap
pened to see him, and he ran softly
and swiftly to spread the news in the
deep woods that Toby Dog from the
farm was on his way to the deep
woods looking very fierce. Mr.. Peter
Squirrel scurried home on the run to
tell Mrs. Squirrel to call in the chill
dren and lock the doors fast, for Toby
Dog was coming.
Mrs. Squirrel found time to call
across to Mrs Possum that old Toby
Dog from the farm was on his way

"Why, there is Mr. Fox" thought
Toby Dog. II had almost forgotten
him. / am sure he will be at home
at this time of day, and very likely
he is awake, too"
Toby Dog found Mr.. Fox's house
and he knocked and knocked, and
after while Mr.. Fox, fearing he
would knock the door down, put his
head out of the upstairs window and
asked what was wanted
1T is Toby Dog" answered Toby,
pleased at last to find some one at
home. Il have come to live In the
deep woods with you"

at the tone Mr.. Fox had used.

Yes, l expect that Is true" said
Mr.. Fox, thinking that Toby Dog was

as sly as Toby Dog at telling wrong
stories. "If you want to find a place

Toby Dog. I'D rather be near you

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
At THE SH|PLAP CATHEDRAL

that the running expenses of the
meeting have all been paid. There
is nothing now left but the free will
offering to the evangelistic party
and that is of course a matter OF
choice. After voting upon the mat
ter, it was decided to allow the evan
gelist to rest and not require a
morning sermon of him.
At the mems meeting in the af-
terneon DR.. Bromley gave to the
largest crowd of men that has yet
gathered at the tabernacle, some hot
cakes off the griddle. His subject
was: "Hot- stuff in the old town."
and it was well named. The evange-
list was in fighting trim and drove
home his words in a way that made
his hearers want to fight the evils
of which he spoke. The lecture was
punctuated by solid facts, crisp illus
trations and spicy anecdotes. A num-
Der of men went forward in response
ito the invitation. DR.. Bromley ask
ed all the men who desired the pray
ers of Christian men to stand and
one fine fellow could not wait, but
made a dash for the front and 9TH
ers followed him.
At the evening service the largest
audience Of the meeting met at the
saw-dust cathedral. "A number Of
people had to stand during the SER
vice.
Miss Dunhou of Story City sang
a very beautiful solo. Prof. Myers
also sang two solos.
DR.. Bromley spoke Of influence
Every one has some influence" he
said. The speaker went into things
scientific to prove the power of lit
tie things. He said there is nothing
to be gained from the so-called So
cial pleasures of today.
In emphatic terms, DR.. Bromley
scored theaters the dance, and card
players. He showed how one mis-
step may ruin the lives of many. He
claimed that most sins of the present
day are committed on account of the
example set by others. He exhorted
his congregation to exercise the
right kind of influence.
There are lots of people who can
not carry on a conversation for 80
minutes without resorting to the
card deck" In closing, he said
Throw your influence on the side
of Jesus Christ and hit the saw-dust
trail. In this solemn hour Gods OPP
portunity is swinging close to you.
Do not pass the opportunity to-
night" A number of people went
forward at the close of the sermon.

City Girls no Good on Farm.

London, Dec. 5.--Flighty, frivolous
city girls are the worlds greatest
failures as farm hands.
The pretty maidens in calico frocks
whose photos have filled the British
pictorial magazines for months are
almost useless when it comes to act
ual work.
This is the verdict of the Wiltshire
Agricultural Committee which under
took the task of training city girls to
to get back to the land. The commit
tee closed down it's training school at
Shaw today because results have been
wholly disappointing" The COM
mittee has concluded that the girls
have entertained an altogether
wrong view of farming. They read
lily absorb the atmosphere of green
fields, shady trees and lowing kline
but when the fields get muddy; when
the sun refuses to shine and the cows
must be "pailed," the girls are utter
failures. The romance of back to the
soil starts to fade when the work be-
gins. Country bred girls make good
farmers.
