JIMMY MONKEY AND HIS TEARS
By Farmer Smith

II there was one thing in this world which
the Baby Baboon did not like to see II was
some one crying. Jimmy Monkey knew this.
and as he sat on the front porch he was
trying to think up something which would
make the Baby Baboon pay more attention
to him and at the same time would not hurt
the little fellow.
The fact was. Jimmy did not know
whether the Baby Baboon still liked him,
and he thought he might as we'll find out,
so he set about his task with a will.
II guess | would have to cry about half
an hour before my handkerchief got wet"
said Jimmy to himself. Then suddenly, ~
know what I'll do :"
In minute he was at the pump wettinR
his handkerchief. After he had done this
he went back on the porch and waited for
the Baby Baboon to come along. BY and
by the little fellow came along, looking
for Jimmy. He heard some one sobbing
and 1t made his little heart go all the
faster Ae he approached the porch he
heard Jimmy crying and crying.
Whats the matter Jimmy?" asked the
Baby Baboon.
boo hoo Boo hoo" 1t seemed as II
Jimmy's heart was breaking. Every little
while he would stop and squeeze the water
out of his handkerchief,
Boo hoo! / want a cocoanut-I want a
cocoanut," Jimmy kept on crying.
Don't cry for a cocoanut-I'll get you
one right away" said the Baby Baboon
putting his arm around Jimmy'B neck
Don't DON'T" exclaimed Jimmy
You'll squeeze more tears from my eyes
and then can't cry any more oh, dear F!
l want cocoanut."
The Baby Baboon could not stand II any
longer, but scampered of as fast as he
could to get Jimmy a cocoanut.
Jimmy peeked out from under the wet
handkerchief and could see the little fellow
climbing the tree and trying as hard as
ever he could to get a cocoanut for Jimmy
II can't run away and leave him." thought
Jimmy II will never try TO tease him, poor
little fellow; l will never try to tease him
like this again. There are times when Your
heart is hurt and II is worse than II your
body was hurt. / never knew that be-e-
fore"
And. before Jimmy knew It, he was really
crying BY and by the Baby Baboon came
back with the cocoanut and Jimmy stopped
crying and said;
II was only trying to fool you-wilI you
forgive me?'
"of course will" said the Baby Baboon.
Give me back the cocoanut and dry your
tears"
Il want the eocoanut myself" said Jimmy.
Then the Baby Baboon thought OF an
idea-he began to cry too
BOO Hool BOO HOOP 1t seemed
as II the noise of the Baby Baboon's crying
went all through Jungletown. At least
Missus Monkey thought there was a lot of
noise somewhere, so she poked her head out
OF the window and asked:
Whats the matter here?"
Nothing" answered Jimmy. only we're
having little cry party"
Al this Missus Monkey couldn't help
laughing.

A GREAT bull raised his trunk to rumble

NJ an intruder His weak eyes roved hlther
and thither. but It was his keen scent and
acute hearing which first located the ape
man. The herd moved restlessly, prepared
tor flight; for the old bull had caught the
scent of man.
'Peace, Tantor." called the Killer. "It is
I. Korak, Tarmangani."
The bull lowered his trunk and the herd
resumed their interrupted meditattons Ko-

A slnuous trunk undulated toward him,
touching his brown hide in half caress.
Korak slapped the great shoulder affection
ately as he went by.
For years he had been upon good terms
with Tantor and his people. OF all the
Jungle folk, he loved best the mighty pachy-
dern-the most peaceful and at the same
time the most terrible of them all. The
gentle gazele feared him not; yet Numa
lord of the Jungle gave him wide berth
Among the younger bulls, the COWS and
the calves Korak wound his way. Now
and then another trunk would run out to
touch him and once playful calf graspci
his legs and upset him.
The afternoon was almost spent when

Climbing Roses
John D. L-If you wish to get away
from the Crimson Rambler roses why not
try the Tausendschoen or Thousand Beau
ties? The climbing La France and the
Dorothy Perkins are two free blooming and
lovely pink roses These can be bought
in potted form from so to 76 cents each In
specimens which ought to bloom this sea
son. You can obtain, even at this late date
some of the Holland grown dormant bushes
which are sturdy. Plant them so that the
grated stock will be below the ground.
Make a good deep hole and blend in some
wel.rotted stable manure or bone meal
with the bottom soil Put the top soil about
the roots and fill in with the made soil"
Do not let any of the manure or fertilizer
come in contact with the roots. Put
mulch of grass cuttings about the stems in
order to conserve moisture during dry
spells.
Ponderosa
MIFFLIN.-Ponderosa is a very salts
factory tomato. II requires some stalking.
But If you have plenty of ground, you
might let II run; some OF the branches
will root in the ground and feed the plant
more nutriment. Some growers often
trench in shoots of their tomatoes in order
to gain more extensive root growth.
Spraying Grape Vines
OLNEY.--It is wise precaution to
spray the grape vines now with arsenated
Bordeaux mixture. Do not use the arsenate
after the grapes have formed. As for the
tent caterpillar 1t is the best thing to do
to pick these pests of individually. This
is tedious. but not so bad as II sounds.
Take off curled leaf and all and burn the
harvest.
Cauliflower
C. d. w-Snowball is very good
variety of cauihower for the home garden.
For early caulifower 1t will be necessary
to buy the plants which ought not TO cost
moro than a quarter or>so a dozen. II you
wish to plant seed for later crop, do so at
once and see that the ground in the seed
bed is very rich and the exposure is sunny.
Aph'des on Roses
DORoTHY-Yes, the green lice or
Aphides have appeared on the roses, TO the
annoyance of those who know how difficult
II is to combat their ravages One sign of
their presence, even when they are not
visible, is the activity of ants on the
bushes the ants milk" the Aphides of
