 But lessons the remainder of the afternoon were sad affairs, for every thought was about Max Would he weaken and tell? What would Teacher do to him? The first time he had ever been kept in"-would he hold put, or would he become frightened and be 'tattle-tale? ?"
 When the three o'clock bell rang, the children filed slowly and quietly out of the room-all except Max, who

 At the end of half an hour this was still impossible, for not much ground was covered in the conflict be- tween the bear and the dogs. The latter repeatedly raced forward as i bent on a furious attack, but skipped away as the enraged animal plunged at them.

10 TITLE Max was Teachers pet"

MA TITLE Max was Teachers pet" And little Marion was-well, W Teacher had been heard to EM speak of her as her "abomina- tion." Which meant, no doubt, that Marion was not in high favor with Teacher. AS a matter of fact Marion was a "Tom-boy" and the mischief maker of the class. And Max was ood-oh-so-good!
 So, small wonder that Max didn't like Marion, nor she him. Indeed, she in sisted that he was 'fraidy cat'' and that he tried to "get on the good side of Teacher" by never disobeying her in anything. And Max considered Marion an "awfup' little girl who seemed never to be ashamed of the many mischievous things she did when Teacher wasn't looking.
 Truth to tell, Max was a little ble when Teacher lectured the whole class about some mistake, and she didn't choke up and sob and almost stop breathing when Teacher called out her name in a stern voice. h. deed, nothing seemed to frighten Marion.
 Only the Otner day Just as the two lines of children were marching in from their morning recess, Teacher was suddenly called out of the room into the corridor by the florist who every now and then brought potted plants in his wagon for Teacher to select from and place in the school room.
 The moment she was out of sight to look at the assortment in his wagon-little Marion started for the blackboard, instead of taking her seat quietly, as she was supposed to do and would have done had Teacher been present

best was to see how many words be- ginning with CORN they could write in a given time. Claire had the long, est list and she won the prize. which was two silver prongs for holding an ear of corn while eating the corn of the cob.
 Here is Claires list: Corner, Cor net, Cornwall, Cornwallis, Corn-flow- CT, Cornucopia, Cornish, Corn fritter, Cornice. Corn bread, Corn field, Corn cob.
 Mother and Cook had arranged the dining-room and beautiful sight it was. The table was covered with corn-colored paper, and most of the nice things to eat were appropriate to the occasion. Then Peggy gave the popcorn-filled stockings as souve- nirs. and ten little girls went to their homes at six o'clock very happy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-09

All that week Peggy was very mys- terious with the girls. She ran home after school and would not come out of her room until the dinner bell rang.
 Could the girls have peeped into her room they would have seen her busy sewing ten canvas stockings, into which she poured the sugar-coated popcorn that cook had prepared for her. They would have seen her string ten chains of popcorn, one for each guest. She was busy arranging games for the great day, and as most of these were writing games cards had to be gotten ready. M
 At last Saturday afternoon came, as all afternoons have a habit of do- lng, and an excited little Peggy stood It the door to receive her friends.

 There they felt safe for the present. for the wildly barking dogs were be- tween them and the bear, which showed no desire to advance toward them, even getting upon it's all-fours after a few moments and continuing on it's way to the bee tree.
 Encouraged by shouts from Joe and July, the dogs grew bolder and ad- vanced close upon the bear, annoying it until it abandoned it's prospective feast and showed fight, chasing it's ene- mics backward. Little Tim, much

PEGGY'S POPPING PARTY

Ten girls received these dainty notes and ten girls eagerly awaited the coming of Saturday afternoon, making all sorts of conjectures as to who this Miss Cobb was, as they had not heard that Peggy even expected company. When they asked her who Miss Cobb was she laughed, and said:

@ encounter With the pear.
 N Joe and Tim Meadows. two
 w lively boys of fourteen and ten, had been allowed to accompany a hunting party as far as one of the more ac- cessible islands of the Okefnokee Swamp in Southern Georgia. While the hunters were away on long excur- sions into the flooded jungles of the great swamp the boys were left in care of July, the negro cook, but they were not satisfied to remain in and about the camp and sometimes tramped the whole two- mile stretch of the island the elder boy carrying a gun.
 In this way they one day discovered a "bee tree" about half mile from camp. AS they halted under a tall pine, Joe pointed out a continuous stream of bees, quite black against the bright sky, issuing from an unseen hole in the trunk of the tree a few inches above the lowest branch and some fifty feet from the ground. The find was reported at camp and, as some of the hunters returned early that afternoon, the tree was cut down and the wild hive robbed" before night Considerable honey was taken out, bu the work was done too hastily, and SC

Paralysis and the Races
By "Hop''

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t appears that white persons are
five and half times as susceptible to
infantile paralysis as negroes.
The census enumerator tells US that
one person out of every 20 in Phila-
delphia is a negro. But only one oyt
of every 113 victims of paralysis in
Philadelphia is negro.
These figures tend powerfully to
confirm the opinions of some scientists
that many people are immune from
the disease. Surely the sanitary and
housing conditions of Philadelphia ne
groes is below the average for the en-
tire city, so that the colored popula-
ton has not escaped through extra
personal attention.
