about 5 o'clock the enemy came, sure
enough-three of him.
The majors in the observation corps
sighted him first and chartered the news
from tree to tree till it reached old Cen
eral Jonathan Rabbit, who Immediately
wigwagged the news to all the rest OF
the army.
The tortoise infantry fell in backward,
the gas corps went at the very head and
after them, bristling with bravery, came
the Porcupine artillery, and last of ALL
peering cautiously to the left and the right,
the con1mander-in-chief himself.
Overhead the aviators circled making
such TODD that the enemy looked up
and before he could save himself had
tumbled headlong into the trenches.
There really were three-but in a war
you always speak of the enemy as him.
You understand?
Before he could pick himself up the gas
division got busy Ugh! Then the artil
lery let fly and the tortoises advanced
backward.
1t wasn't much of battle, cause the
enemy was SO choked and taken aback that
he retreated faster than the army could
advance.
General Jonathan got out of breath, so
he called halt, and they did.
It was a glorious victory, and that's a
fact, and those three robber foxes never

Jonathan swelled out his chest and look

something occurred to him.
Tommy was launching into another pa
triotic outburst when old man Rabbit

the spot.

The Pu,Us and Claus CLUB

T WAS talking to some little sheep in the
Government employ a few weeks ago.
They were very proud and would only
speak few minutes with me, and all the
time we were talking together they had
their heads up in the air and their chins
drawn in like celebrities at tea party.
And no wonder! For these sheep take
care of the White House lawn and asso-
ciate every day with the famous folk Of
Washington. They keep the grass nibbled
close and as one of them remarked to me,
eve add great deal to the interest and
beauty of the White Housew
Then, as I didn't have high hat or
a roll of State papers, they all looked at
me pityingly and moved off in dignifed
unhurried Washington amble. They really
did look pretty, but I wish they had not
been so proud, there was so much I wanted
to ask them.
Down in Florida some years ago they
caught the biggest baby I have ever heard
of. 1t was a water baby, not like
Tom though. No, indeed! 1t was a fish
and it weighed 10000 pounds, and had
tongue forty inches long. (What a talker
it must have beenD
And imagine a baby with several thou
sand teeth who thought nothing of eating
15O0-pound fish for breakfast
And all Of this is true. This monster
baby was captured at Knights Key, Flori
da, in 1902, after terrible fight. 1t was
mounted and is still on exhibit in Miami.
1t was not whale and I am real sorry
it was caught, because what wonderful
big fish it would have grown uT to be. But
\ perhaps it would have taken tn. whole
sea and spread out over the laid and that
would never have done at all,
This is busy season for the SQUIRRELS,
They are storing up nuts in the tree
banks to draw on for winter supplies.
Sometimes robbers break in and steal the
nuts, just as they steal money from ou,
banks. Mostly the robbers are BEARS,
but, of course, there aren't any bears
around this part of the country to bother
the little fellows, so they needn't take out
burglary insurance just yet.

trenches all the way around that particular
little wood.
Jonathan had some good ideas, you must
admit, and sitting upon his tree stump
with Quill behind his ear directed the
whole proceeding.
The SQUIRRELS were all decorated with
maple leaves and dubbed majors in the
observation corps.
They scanned the country for signs of
the enemy from their treetops and reported
every few minutes to General Jonathan.
All the birds who had not flown South
at once enlisted in the aviation section;
even Johnny Owl agreed, with his family,
to attend to the night watch.
The Woodpeckers being expert drillers
were all made drill masters, and all the
Rabbits who refused to dig trenches were
placed in the signal corps.
You have no idea how convenient long
ears are for wigwagging, and Jonathan
worked out the most satisfactory code.
The Tortoises, being armored, were i'm
mcdiately impressed into the infantry d,
as they were more protected behind than
before, Jonathan insisted upon their
marching backward. It was little awk-
ward at first, but they persevered and soon
got the hang of it.
The Skunks were, of course, placed in
the gas division; the Porcupines in the
artillery, and with a satisfied sigh General
Jonathan declared his army in readiness.
They were SO delighted, all the little

But old Grandfather Rabbit stood on

were all for war at the earliest possible

DR.. Dolby

After all, Doctor Dolby did not need the
extra help for those who overate them
selves on Thanksgiving. No indeed! The
dolls were much too patriotic to overeat.
He did have some queer cases, though.
For instance: Antoinette China Doll broke
her front tooth on a piece of plaster pie.
Not only that, but it stuck in her mouth
and Doctor Dolby had to pry it out.
Then the Teddy Bear had a dreadful
black eye where the turkey flew up and
hit him when he was trying to carve it;
and Martha Washington Rag Doll, as
usual, fell into soft custard pie and it
has left most unbecoming yellow stain.
The Doctor thinks he will have all the
invalids up before next week-and as
good as new.

T Asst night as I entered the Town OF

I saw the wonderfuIest sight; !
A grand procession came marching by
Through the yellow candlelight!
A grand professionally, there, my dears'
Were all the things we eat,
Thanksgiving Day-and they marched
away
To Sugar Band SO sweet
That as the music struck the air
It turned into lollypops straightway there.
The turkey stumped on his drum sticks,
With his neck tucked under his wing,
And T heard him say in stuffy VIZ,
I'm full of everything.
The vegetables rode in their dishes
AS if they were Queens and Kings,
While behind like pages the olives skipped
The fruit and other things.
Two abreast the pumpkin pies
Came winking their dozen Sits for eyes.
Plum pudding round as a cannon ball
A-rolling and steaming behind them ALI,
While after that in SKIES and Fights
Marched the spoons and forks and the
knives and plates.
Now wonder IL you were there that night
And saw them marching by candle light?
r. seems to me I did get peep
OF YOU boys and girls in the Town OF
Sleep.

POWER OF JOY RULES WORLD

IN 1.-THE Influence of JOY" 1t is also
an attack on the influence of pain.
which parents so much resort to in
The management of children. She de-
clares, according to the Ohio State
Journal, that pain should never be re-
sorted to to make children good and,
hence, she advises that all spankings
and whippings should be eliminated.
There is nothing in pain to recon
struct child. Joy is the only medium
that should be used. Make a child
happy. instead of sad, is the gospel
Of child training The power that
lived, moved and ruled the world, she
said, was the power of joy; and this
was the influence the parent should
Use in training the child. This is not
The way of parents. The rule Is to
whip the child to make him good. 1t
cannot result that way. A kind word
and gentle association are far more
powerful than a rod or any other
method for producing sorrow or pain.
The other day we heard a mother
shout to a little boy: "I'll skin you

worse boy out of bad one.
