your first taste of a town delicacy
in the shape of popcorn"
Billy and Nanny soon arrived at
the bank of the lake where the
boys had gone in swimming. and,
behind clump of bushes they
found the boys clothes.
Billy lost no time in smelling out
the bag of popcorn, but, alas!
when found, it was empty. Billy's
disappointment knew no bounds
and he began to vent his spleen
on the clothes that were lying
around by hooking and stamping
on them. When throwing a coat up
in the air on his horns two nice
red apples rolled out of one of the
pockets. After eating one of these
and allowing Nanny to eat the
other, he felt a little less angry and
commenced to smell around for
something else equally good.
What Billy's nose smelt will be
told next week

from their conversation that the
boys were going swimming in
little lake at the end of the mea'
dow near the woods. They passed
close by the goats without paying
any attention to them.
One boy had bag of popcorn he
was eating, and Billy, smelling it,
commenced to long for some. The
firemen had bought sailed and but
tered popcorn for him every day,
and the smell of this made him
hungry and he determined to get
the bag from the boy.
But how can you, Billy" asked
Nanny, when he told her he was
going to get the popcorn.
"Pll tell you; when they leave
their clothes on the bank and go in
swimming l will steal up and eat
what is left in the bag, and any
thing else find in their pockets. :"
"How are you going to get any
thing out of their pockets without
hands?"
why, l will eat pocket and all

A BEAR STORY

One day in Colorado boy was
walking in the woods when he
came upon two bear cubs. He
picked them up and took them to
his fathers hotel. He fed them
and the cubs got fat. The army
draft came, and he had to go. The
boy served his three years in the
army.
When he came home he saw his
mother at the gate and his step
father kicked one of the bear cubs
The boy took the cubs to the
kitchen and fed them. The boy
took the cubs to his room and
taught them how to dance. The
next day the boy took the cubs to
the dining room of the hotel.
The cubs danced and the people
gave them from cents to rs cents.
The next lesson was how to
serve noodles, and the cubs did
that wonderfully.
A man bought them for $4,000.

is that were not high school at
all. We're just bunch of differ

A Borrowed Doe

He was a tiny wriggling baby
when Dora's Aunt Jane brought
him home. And very young to be
taken from his mother was Laddie.
When he was on the floor, he was
under everybody's feet. While
visiting her father Aunt Jane let
Laddie wander anywhere he liked.
AS her father owned a grocery,
Laddie was not long in making his

Then, coming back and getting
Jack, the Gardener, to so with him,
they discussed at length the lay
out of the fields and gardens to be
put in crop. When it was time to
start for home enough rough data
had been gathered for Lars to
work out in detail at home. In the

acquaintance.

and ended with the scrap meat box
Having eaten his fill he wandered
into the side yard where Aunt Jane
caught him some time later, and
he received sound spanking. He
ran bowling to the back yard, and
he never did such a thing again,
for although he wanted to, he re-
membered the spanking and shrunk
from doing it.
Dora went to visit her Aunt the
next summer While she was there
she often sat on her Aunt's lap.
Laddie was very jealous and tried
, to get up, too. Although he was
jealous he liked to play with Dora.
One day, Dora hid behind the
kitchen door and whistled softly
just once. Laddie, who was in the
living room, came bounding out
poked his nose into every nook and
corner until he found her. This was
the way in which he played hide
and-seek with Dora.
Aunt Jane was moving. Would
you like to take care of Ladder"
she asked Dora.
Indeed l would" was the quick
answer.
So, Laddie was left in Dora's
care. Laddie had to be bathed ev-
cry Saturday, and. as he did not
like it, you could be pretty sure he
would be missing Saturday norm
ing unless chained the night before.
If Dora, after much running and
coaxing, did get him, there was still
the problem of getting him into the
tub. He would curl up in her lap
and put his head under her arm,
as much as to say, please don't
wash me-"
But, finally, he would submit to
being washed. After he was all
clean she would take him out for
walk.
Laddie had a way of barking at
automobiles and bicycles. The peo-
pie of the town did not like it, as
you may suppose.
One day Laddie was barking at
bicycle when another. mounted by
the town marshal himself, turned
the corner. Immediately Laddie
ran up to it barking. When the mar
shall on his bicycle got in front of
Dora's house, he dismounted, col
Jared the dog, walked up to the
door, rang the bell, and when it
was answered by Dora's mother, he
said:
Madame, this dog is nuisance.
You shall either have to chain him
up or shall have to shoot him"
But" said Dora's mother, Lad
die is only playing"
He may be only playing, but it
is not play for the one on the BIZ
cycle, asure YOU was the grim
reply.
"We will chain him." she said,
"but doubt if it will do any good"
Laddie was chained on the spot.
1t was a very shame-faced dog that
was fed and bathed by Dora for
two weeks after the marshal's
visit. At the end of this time the
marshal called again. Give the
dog his freedom for a couple of
days. After that, however, if he is
not cured. you shall have to get rid
of him." he said.
1t was fortunate for Laddie that
his mistress came for him just at
this time. and he was taken away.
Laddie had learned, however a
lesson in obedience while he was
staying with Dora.-Carolyn Nice,
