to watch by the path that leads to the
duck pond. We will see how much

Mr.. Fox hid himself and Reddy Fox
behind some bushes and waited for
Madam Duck and her children to
come along for their morning swim.
"Now." said Mr.. Fox. "here they
come. Now let me see what you can
do"
Mr.. Fox got back out of the way to
let his son have n chance to do all the
catching, but what was his surprise
when out from the bushes stepped
Reddy and very politely said: Good
morning, Madam Duck; I hope you
have had a fine SWIM"
"Quack!" went Madam and away
she waddled, followed by her whole
family, while Mr.. Fox, who thought
this was some new way Reddy had
been taught at Miss Flopears' school,
expected to see his son capture the
finest duckling of the lot.
But Reddy Fox had been taught to
be polite and not chase the animals
he met, so he calmly walked back and
lay down beside his father in the
bushes.
Mr.. Fox was too astonished to chase
Madam Duck. He just took Reddy
Fox by the ear and walked him home.
"a fine son we have, madam" he said
to his wife; land now that Miss Flop
ears has taught our son to be polite
I'll see If 1 can teach him to get his
living"
Every night he took Reddy Fox over
the hill to the farm to hunt, and some-
how Reddy did not think about being
polite at night ut all, and before long
he could bring home as fat duck or
turkey as his father.

Fox. "She may be able to teach those
garden-truck methods to the rabbit
family, but fox needs only to see n

what to do. Nature is the best teach

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
