Jimmy sat down and looked at it sus-
piciously. Then he went round to the
other side and did the same thing.
Finally he ventured near enough to
sniff at it. 1t was just board. that
was all.
Now. what can that be for?" thought
Jimmy and scratched his head. What
ever it is for it would be just the

He went around to the end where
he could look up the whole length
Of that long board. There he made
a discovery. There were little cross
pieces all the way up that board.
II believe I can walk up that with
out tumbling off," thought he. Any
way I'll try It,"
So Jimmy started up the long board

walk without danger OF falling off.
Up ana up and up he walked and
presently he was at the window, and a
away was Farmer Browns Boy. and he
was grinning until all the freckles on
his face seemed to run together into
one big freckle.
How do you like my ladder. Jimmy
Skunk?" he cried.
But Jimmy made no reply. He paid
no attention to Farmer Browns Boy
at all. In fact. he did what he rarely
does-he hurried. He hurried straight
over to the grass and there he began
to catch grasshoppers as fast as ever
he could. He was hungry, was Jimmy
Skunk.
Farmer Browns Boy watched him
and laughed.

keep on catching grasshoppers at that
rate guess you will pay me for all
the trouble I went to to make that
ladder for you"
Then he pulled I'D that long board
and closed the window. AS for Jimmy
Skunk. he went right on Matching

the Green Meadows instead of in Farm

Browns boy and Mrs Brown and

Beauty in Breakfasts.

The fact that Anne Boleyn. who had
the reputation Of being the most beauti-
full young woman OF her day, If not the
most to be envied. ate, as historians tell
US she did. boiled pork and beer for
breakfast, then it does seem rather boot
less for us to limit ourselves to a soft
boiled egg and the Juice of an orange for
our breakfast. doesn't it? That is. 1t
would seem foolish II we had any natural
preference for boiled pork and beer.
Evidently Anne Boleyn did have such
a preference. In her day oranges were as
yet unknown to northern folks and soft
boiled eggs. II taken at all, were consid-
cred a sort Of heroic dose to take after
all other remedies had failed. AS an
article Of diet served in that simple
condition the boiled egg was as yet un-
known. And 80 Anne Boleyn followed the
dictates of her not too fine palate and
breakfasted on boiled pork and beer 1856
mornings Of the year.
Probably most women. beautiful and
otherwise, breakfasted on beer or ale till

the two registered. The explanation
was not allowed.
