two were eating. An Cousin Bruin
worked his way more into that honey
pot the deeper he sank into the mud

sticky. But that great bear didn't

now the mud was so thick that even
little Jimmy began to sink down.
and more and more the great waves
beat over the rocks. and rushed into
the honey pot.
Poor little Jimmy was swimming
for dear life. He WAS crying ana
scared to death. Even Cousin Bruin
was swimming. The great waves
were beating them back and forth and
1t looked as If 1t might be the death
of those two cousins. Teddy Possum
sat on the shore. He was n miserable

or say.

slipped away. Now what do you
suppose those cousins can do?

master at Seneca Falls. She was as
sistant postmaster and very compel
ent. She was one Of the early advo-
Gates Of "woman's rights" and of aboli-
ton and temperance. and shortly after
her marriage established a temperance
papsr called 1.-THE Lily"
She was not the actual originator
of the bloomer costume. however. A
Mrs. Elizabeth Miller designed and
wore a dress made Of a pair Of loose
Turkish trousers gathered about the
ankle and a short loose tunic and skirt
over them. Mrs. Bloomer took up the
idea, and some of the earlier suffrage
advocates followed her. In fact Mrs
Bloomer went on a lecture tour OF the
country wearing this costume ano
creating immense excitement and not
little ridicule. After time she saw
that this dress reform idea was I'm
practical but that IL was hurting the
more serious causes she was fighting
for-temperance and equal suffrage.
So she went back to the old feminine
style OF clothes.
She was associated with Susan B.
Anthony in suffrage work and made
such an excellent speech fer It before
the Nebraska legislature in 1852 that
a bill in favor Of it was really intro
duced.

THE JEWS IN POLAND.

The program against Jews has shift
ed from Russia to Poland Russia, or
that section of the world so classified
having extended the program TO in
clude every person who may have a
dollar that bolshevists desire to pos
sess. But III Poland, SO largely made
free by the blood Of freemen, outrages
against Jews are reported as common
and persecution il is credibly asserted
is the order of the new day. 1t is pc
cullar tendency of human nature this
persecution and outrage and practical
slavery for many years TO inflict out
rage and persecution upon those who
differ from them in faith and custom:
but it is not strange or unknown. We
have our historical and truthful ac-
counts OF Quakers squeezed to death
between planks by puritans who had
dared the seas and accepted the shelter
of wildernesses in defence OF their own
faith and right to worship according
to their own rituals and beliefs.
The Jew in Poland is entitled to the
protection Of the powers that liberated
Poland and that are busy now making
a world over, If persecution and out
rage are busy in Poland none is in a
better position to ascertain the truth
than the peace conference and none
other has the power to bid it cease. The
Jews have earned every right that is
pledged to any race. Their money and
their blood was given freely in the
great war. If Poland is TO be the fos-
ter child Of the allies then the allies
should see that Poland appreciates the
gift of liberty sufficiently TO recognize
the right of the Jewish faith and the
Jewish people to peace and liberty
guaranteed by the allied powers to Po-
land.

'Now Teddy Postum, that's per-

do you mean?"

Possum "over there on the sand flats
is q place they call "honey pot and
altho there isn't piece Of honey in 1t.
you Just say honey to Cousin Bruin
ana then see what he will do!
And that sly Teddy Postum laughed
In his sleeve. The very minute Jimmy
Coon said honey Cousin Bruin step
ped eating and wanted to go at once.
Soon they were In the very middle OF
the honey pot and you and ! know
that the only reason such place Is
called honey pot is because 1t is 50
sticky, but Cousin Bruin walked
bravely into this marshy place, almost
like quick sand for he thought they
would be coming to the honey in just
a minute.
Cousin Bruin thought that while
they were getting to the honey he
might as well eat. There were lots
OF blue shelled mussels here and sea
urchins, and so those two cousins went
on eating.
But all this time the tide was COM
ing in, and now the great waves were
breaking over the rocks at the en-
