YOUTH AND AGE.

Once upon time. long, long ago,
there lived an old woman who had
two sons. Dicky and Thomas. Now.
every one loved Dicky because he was
good and kind to every one, young or
old. But Thomas was just the oppo-
site. He was cross and ugly. Chill
dren bothered him with their merry
laughter and old folks were in his
way" In fact, Thomas was so hate
full that even the dogs ran when they
saw him coming.
As the winter days grew colder.
work in the little village became scarce
and the old mothers savings soon
dwindled away. Thomas felt the
world owed him living. SO he re-
fused to seek work and one day Dicky,
bidding his brother be kind to the lit
tie old mother, set out to find employ
ment
He hadn't gone far when he heard
some one sobbing and there, near the
roadside. sat an ugly old woman weep
ing.
What is the trouble, Mother p"
asked Dicky kindly.
The old woman told him she had
SpralneQ ner ankle and couldn't walk
home. After inquiring where she lived
Dicky gathered her up in his arms and
carried her to a little hut that stood
in the center Of the woods. Here waited
her sister. who was the very picture Of
youth. They both thanked Dicky for
his help, and begged him to remain and
eat with them. Night being near,
Dicky accepted their hospitality, and
sat and chatted happily with the two
| sisters.
Just before the lights were turned
out the two sisters asked their guest
which he liked better, old age or
youth.
"Both!" exclaimed Dicky. Youth
| for its joyous spirit and age for its
wisdom"
! The sisters looked at each other

Won Tirpitz regrets that Germany
did not remain friendly with the Unit

speaker would say, reminds you OF
very old story.
The man left the bulldog and the
parrot alone. When he came back the
bulldog was asleep, the parrot. all his
feathers torn out was saying. II know

Won Tirpitz and his friend with the
mustache are like the parrot. They
didn't know enough to let that par

When morning came Dicky was
awak ened by the gentle snowflakes
falling on his face as they silently
floated to the ground. He jumped up
and looked around. The hut and the
two sisters were gone. but by his side
there lay bag of gold.
Dicky returned home and when he
told his mother and brother about his
wonderful experience, Thomas became
jealous and started that very day to
seek his fortune. He refused to help
the old woman, but nevertheless his
feet seemed to lead him to the hut of

was tired. and glad to accept the sis

hOOvERiZED PUMPKIN PIE.
Portland JOurnal)

l remember, / remember,
In days so long gone by.
How along about November,
Mother made real pumpkin pie,
The night before she made it
Was when the fun began
When I helped her cut the pumpkin
Into a big tin pan.
Mother cooked it until noon
The while helped her stir 1t
with a great big wooden spoon.
And when twas cooked down rich
and thick.
To make it taste real nice
She put in lots of sugar
And every kind of spice.
And she told me to run out real quick
And rob Old Biddys nest
And then she let me beat the eggs
To mix up with the rest.
And oh, what flaky pie crust,
Made with lard so snowy white!
And she baked 1t in a deep square pan
TIL 1t was Drowned just right.
Aha WIeu i>e@S Se~AA'S
round,
What bliss without alloy!
She let me have the corner piece
For being a good boy.
o mother dear, your boys grown up,
And many years rolled by.
But he holds in grateful memory
That piece of pumpkin pie.
The times have sadly changed since
And now we Eooverize,
And 1t isn't patriotic
To make real pumpkin pies.
And so the cooks they substitute
Pumpkin from tin can.
And sottonseed and saccharins
And eggs as old as man.
But I always shall remember
The days that have gone by,
When long about November
Mother made real pumpkin pie.
