Farmer Browns boy tries very hard
TO live up to that saying himself.
That is one reason he has become
such good friend of the little peo-
pie of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows. Trying to be fair to them.
he has learned to understand them.
And because he has been fair the
little people have learned to trust
him, and trust. you know. is the first
step to friendlness.
Iramping back for the pail of
honey he had hidden under little
| tree in the Green Forest because two
pals had been too heavy to carry at
, once. Farmer Browns boy was in
the best of spirits. He whistled as
doing when he is happy. That honey,
strained and put up in glass Jars
would sell readily, and he would thus
be able to add considerable to his
bank account. Farmer Browns boy
is thrifty in the very best way
mean in the present.
Il WISH" said he, Il had gone back
yesterday for the honey in that old
dead tree. Then l would have been
ahead of Buster Bear. AS it is he got
ahead of me. l wanted that honey
but 1 don't suppose l wanted it any
more than Buster did AS long as the
get it. it is only fair that he should
have it," Then Farmer Browns boy
chuckled. Il should have said that he
should have had it, for he hasn't got
it now" he added. Il should think
that such a lot of sweet would have
made him sick, but 1 don't suppose
it did,
He reached the little tree and
pushed aside the branches to reans
for his pail of honey. There was no
pail there! SO great was his sur
prise that for a minute he simply
stood staring rather stupidity at the
spot where he had left that pail of
honey. You see somehow he couldn't
believe that it was gone. Then
has lily he looked about to make sure
that that was the tree under which
he had hidden that pail. That was
the very tree; there could be no doubt
about it.
Anger surged up in the heart of
Farmer Browns boy. A pail of honey
couldn't walk off of itself. Some
one had taken it. Some one must have
seen him hide it there and then have
stolen it. Was it boy or a man?
He couldn't think of one of his neigh
bors who would do such thing. 1t
| must have been done by a stranger.
; Farmer Browns boy started to look
/ for tracks.
| Almost at once he caught sight of
something shining some little dis
lance away. He hurried over to it.
1t was a pail, his pail, and it was
| empty! There wasn't SO much as a
| drop of honey. Inside it was almost
Jas clean as if it had been washed
And then Farmer Browns boy saw
la footprint, a great big footprint.
1t was the print of one of Buster
Bears big feet
The thief, The big black thief
cried Farmer Browns boy, growing
angrier than ever as he recognized
that footprint. "Tll-Tll-"
| But what Farmer Browns boy was
going to say never will be known
You see right there his sense of fair
ness overcame his anger and melted
lit quite away. He grinned rather
! ruefuIly Buster Bear, you are a
smart old rascal said he, just as if

slightly rounded in the back. Kittens
ear crepe is used to make the small

Buster Bear were there to hear him.
You must have followed me and
found that pail of honey. and as the
law of the Green Forest is that what
one finds one has a right to take.
you saw no wrong in helping your
self. Well, 1 guess we are even now.

out of the honey in that first tree.
You got ahead of me at that second
tree. And now we have divided the
honey from this last tree. Well, l
hope you've had enough to last you
for a WHILE
The funny side of it struck Farmer
Browns boy. He laughed until his
sides ached. Then he picked up the
empty pail and went after the box of
Bees he had left near the Bee-tree and
once more he began to whistle. You
see he understood Buster Bear and
just how Buster Bear had felt.

The moyen age gown is gaining in
popularity as the season advances. The
long wasted smoothly fitting bodice is
becoming to almost every type and is
especially welcomed as a change from
the customary high or medium wasted
frock.
An afternoon gown is just about di-
vided in half by the wide slightly draped
girtlle of navy satin-that is, the blouse
and the skirt are practically the same

of navy georgette and the wide fur

Sissss Mrs. O'Hare was one of the prison

the president had acted upon the re:

cialist candidate for president whose
release has also been asked by the ma

This letter accompanied petition
sent to President Wilson by residents
in Bowman who heard Mrs. O'Hare
made the seditious statements. .
Governor Frazier was condemned
January % by the Women's Auxiliary
of the Lloyd Spets post for exertins
this influence in Mrs. O'Hare's, be-
half. Judge. Wade who sentenced
Mrs. O'Hare was petitioned by the
War mothers in an attempt to prevent
the pardon. s5
The case caused nation wide atten-.
ton. Every avenue of justice was re-"
sorted to in behalf of Mrs. O'Hare.
She was tried in Bismarck and cor
victed in the federal court of that city.
In most remarkable charge, Judge
Wade laid bare her oposition to the
war and seditious statements she had
made on previous occasions.
When Governor Frazier became &C
tive in her behalf, patriotic organiza-
tions everywhere began sending in pc.
