read and read and read, looking very
hard into the Paper. Annette said she
could never understand why he looked
so hard into his Paper, as if he were
going to miss seeing something, be-
cause he spent SO long reading it she

Annette's Daddy was reading it at

bites OF Bacon and delicious pieces of

And in the evening he read it
when he came home and kink was al
ways standing on the stoop watching

in his little basket in Annette's room
when he suddenly began barking. An.
nette woke right up and said:
Why, what is the trouble, Kink?'
AS rule Kink would never dream
of waking up his little Mistress in the
night, and that was one reason why
he was allowed to sleep in her room
because he was so good and quiet. But
nothing would quiet him this time.
He went over to Annette's bed and
jumped up and behaved IL a very
strange, excited way. And then every
moment or two he would run over tt
the Window and bark harder and

PREPAREDNESS.

We have a good deal of sympathy !
with the New London Day writer who
congratulates his city on not having
caught the prevailing eontagion of
preparedness parades. There is
nothing substantial, nothing that is
going to do, in the end, the least par
ticle of good in the spectacle of al
large company of men and women
solemnly trudging their feet into Bills
tiers as q manifestation of popular IN
terest in the subject of military de
Tense. The pressure Of patriotic steam
is not very heavy when it can be re-
duced by this kind of a safety valve
What is needed in the interest of
preparedness is hess work with the
feet and more with the brain. \ rcso-
lutte determination on the part of each
citizen to pay his share of the cost win
be worth lot more than parade as
manifestation of enthusiasm for pre-
paredness. Truth telling in income

THE Fairies didn't want to hurt the
Brownies feelings, nor did they want
to appear rude, but they didn't seem to
know at first how they could get up
and Play with their usual vim. They
wanted so much a good lazy time for a

But the Fairy Queen thought up a
fine scheme which pleased the little
Fairies and which the Brownies
thought was a special treat for them

and an earnest purpose to do them
good In short, Mr.. Stone likes
