STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
MEMORIES
BY Farmer Smith

Picture to yourself the quiet of home
| after Billy Bumpus returned from his trip
10 the army. He is seated by the firelight,
reading the Goatville News or. as we see
him now, reading while his good wife is
preparing breakfast
Il wish you would tell me more about the
army and what you did there" said Mrs.
Bumpus to Billy
II never told you about the parrot we
had" began Billy, putting the paper down
and looking up at his good wife.
you see, I had a great habit Of teasing
that parrot and one day he began to tease
me and talk about my butting which I did
not like, so that afternoon he forgot what
he was doing and caught him on the floor
and gave him a good butt that he will not
forget"
How brave ycd are !" said Mrs. Bumpus,
as she gave fly a swat.
Mrs Bumpus was devotion itself She
did everything she could to minister TO her
dear Billy's comfort and when the flies
bothered him she would go all over the
house and kill the little troublemakers
Sometimes she would give a fly an extra
big SWAT which would make Billy jump
Il thought that was gun going off under
my nose," he would say, Then they both
would laugh
81 don't see why you don't get some fly
paper and save your strength" said Billy
one day.
81 have some and think It is about time
to use it," replied Mrs. Bumpus as she
went to the cupboard and took from it the
fly paper which she had carefully put there
so that il would not be in Blllys way.
Now, my dear ! want you to be careful
not to get into that fly paper, or put the
Goatvile News in II, for IL you do 1t will
get into your beautiful hair and you will
not look very much like a hero-MY hero ="
Mrs Bumpus pulled the fly paper apart and
laid it carefully on the dining room table.
Billy sat down and began reading again
and just at that moment tiny fly lit on
the end Of his nose.
Hey! little fellow. you go over and sit
on that fly paper" said Billy wggling his
little stump Of a tail
Mrs. Bumpus came over and shoo-ed the
fly away and when It lit on the table she
came down on 1t with a BANG.
Billy jumped.
THAT reminds me that have never told
you of the time l saved the generals maps
did I?'
"No. but | wish you would tell me all
about IT," replied his good wife.
well, you see our army was retreatlng
and there was no one to save the papers and
maps on the generals table and so, after
he-the general--ran away, | went up and
saved the maps and papers,"
my hero" exclaimed Mrs. Bumpus
There | was, the enemy coming after us
and | was the only one brave enough TO
get those papers and run away with them i"
said Billy
How did you do it?"
There was nothing else for me to do
answered Billy. Il ate them"
-OH !" sighed his good wife.
At that moment strange thing han.
pened-Billy Bumpus leaned over on the
table and put his elbow right in the middle
Of the fly paper
And do YOU know what happened?

m APPEARs so comfortinr 10 thc baby

TT APPEARS so comforting to the baby
L to suck his fingers, fists or thumbs and
1t is so tlresome to keep always on the
alert to cirCumvent him that many moth
ers allow the child 10 form the habit. This
is not only insanitary at all times, but il
long continued, induces change In the shape
of the mouth and teeth.
From the very outset Of life, the mouth
should be guarded. The baby in the cradle
instinctvey stuffs his fist into his mouth
and sucks II hard whenever he experiences
hunger. This habit favors the introduction
OF infectious germs. The creeping child
especially when allowed the freedom Of the
floor, which is the repository Of household
dust, sucks his fist or fingers a his peril
Dust Clings to his hands, hides under his
nails, adheres TO his rattle and paythings
which occupy the floor with him. and when
he puts any of them into his mouth he NAV
inoculate himself with tuberculosis or some
other malady. At least he may get some
bowel disorder.
The "soother," Consolation nipple" or
'pacifer," as it Is variously termed, is con-
ceded to be one of the most insanitary de-
vices ever invented for baby's use and
should never be permitted
A baby should not be put upon the floor
without first spreading a clean sheet over
the floor or carpet to protect 1t from dirt
and dust

Reindeer moss is lichen. a partnership
OF two plants, fungus and n green alga.
The alga, by means of its chlorophyll manu-
factures food which II shares with the
fungus, which in turn pays for its keep"
by protecting the alga and supplying it
with water. Reindeer moss flourishes in
countries too cold to produce other food
