really saying to the Trunks:
Don't get impatient and tired.
Why, when we want to go away we

After awhile the Tops of the Trees

Billy Sunday is right when he saws
the Episcopal church erred in shutting
the women out from having a voice
IN the running of the church. Here
are Mr.. Sundays picturesque words:
- should say she ought to have a
voice in running the church. She does
everything else. She does most of the
work, most Of the singing and praying,
bakes the pies and cakes for the So
eiaIs, gets up the rummage sales and
keeps the steeples from falling down. -

homes and take silly clothes along
with them.
Then the Trunks of the Trees saw
what it all meant-all the talk about
Trunks and travel and changes of Air.
But they did want the change! That
was what they were after.
And a change of Air they certainly
did get. Old Mr., North Wind had a
fine time and blew a perfect Gale
which he thinks is the best fun in the
World. He even broke some of the
Groswn-Ups' shutters off their houses
which was very bad of him but he was
on wild sort of a time. 1t was sci.

in Vandalia have been caring fol
