Dick Offers mother puts on lots OF
style. And everything had to be Just
SO" at her big dinners. Mrs. O'Possum
was seated ut the right hand OF Mrs.
otter The otter children had the
other seats Tho table looked very in
vltng, for there were fresh water
clans on the half she'll fat brook
trout, perch and pickerel and frogs
hind legs, beetles, and grasshoppers,
and some little black snakes, Their
mouths watered as they saw their
favorite dishes before them.
But something wonderful happened
at this moment Mrs. Otter inquired
very kindly: Mrs. o'Possum, / forgot
to ask how many children you have,
and sometime want to sec them"
Then the strangest thing in tho
world came to pass: Mrs. O'Poseum
put her hand down into n huge pocket
she had in her big fur coat, and she
took out one of her children to show
Mrs. Otter. And then she took out an
other child, and another until she set
twelve children on the table!
The offers stared with their eyes
popping out of their heads and their
mouths wide open, and could not even
speak-they were so amazed at that
wonderful sight.
Then most shocking sight ap-
peared. You know that a mother with
twelve little children could not pos
sibly have the time to train them in
all the best table manners. And those
twelve little OPossums were awfully
hungry, and they saw before them
those delicious things they loved to
eat, such as sweet green frogs. nice fat

official or semi official. The espionage
will be conducted 10y the United states
secret service under the present at
torroy general. II means that war
time organizations created privately or
officially in emergency will be called
off definitely. The American Protec-
tive League was organized with the
approval Of Attorney General Gregory
and supposedly operated under the
direct supervision Of his department
That is as 1t should be. Espionage
is distastefuI to the American people
Espionage by Tom, Dick and Harry
ut and UNIT for the job is unbcaraDle
even in wartime. The attorney gem
eral plainly states that he considers
such espionage a menace and al
variance with all our theories Of gov
eminent. The only organization he
saws that had any relations Of an ON
cial nature with the United States de-
partment Of justice was the a. p, l..
which is credited with having rendered
valuable service, It's usefulness ended
with the emergency and it was dis
banded more than month ago.

tically disbanded as they should BE-

what did they do! Why, those twelve

fore you could count three, and
grabbed the food right off that table!
And everybody jumped to stop thesa
awful manners at a dinner party; and
the clans and fish were knocked of
the table and the table was tipped
over and there was dreadful noise.

OPossum rushed around. and gave

noise and the yells.
Mother OPossum scolded in her

in the big pocelSt of her fur coat, ans
started to leave the house!
Then something else startling hap
pened: Father OPossum turned
black In the face, and trembled. and
fell off his chair, and fell on the floor.
and was perfectly motionless.
The otter family thought he was
dead. And, with tears in their eyes.
they picked up his limp body and
