of them alone.
One day not long ago Mavis found
an old friend, Jack Carlin. Jack had
sat behind her in the old white school
house. Mavis told him all about Dick
and the five children. Jack, who had
just got out of hospital for conva-
descent soldiers. asked her to be his
wife. He said he had been trying to
find her ever since she disappeared
from Tennessee.
Mavis thought it over for several
weeks. Then she put it up to Dick.
Dick said he guessed 1t would be all
right. He gave her money toward her
wedding clothes and wished her hap
pineSs. But he also filed Il petition to
adopt all five of the children. intending
to send them to his mother In the
South.
When the case came up in court
counsel for the father cOntended that
the children were illegitimate. which
made the judge angry. He banged his
fist on the bench and shouted.
Then Carlin filed a petition, with
his wife, to adopt the children. And
they all went to their new home.
All of which story is true, except the
names of the three involved.

Tertiary. He escaped from Rockview

While at Norfolk. England. in the
summer of 1918 he met and married a

Sammy Sausage was sitting in q

He looked up and said in high
squeaIing voice, "YOur wishes are all
right. but l hope your presents are
better"
Each pig had little scrap of food
for Sammy Sausage's birthday pres
ent. They had each brought large
share of food and as they had brought
1t along they had decided that it was
too much 10 give and had been eating
all the way along until every pigs

"Oh." said Brother Bacon. there
is such little bit of my present left
that | will not give it TO Sammy Sau-

Bacon ate up his present and as he
did so every pig followed his example.
"Well. you're lot of pigs, eating up
your own presents" said Sammy Sau-
sage. when he saw what was happen
ing. He tried to stop a few presents
from being eaten up, but he hadn't
