Tinker Bob. King of the Forest.
had called in one Of his Forest
friends to make Jack the Wood Rat
a suit of pajamas. for he had COM
planned that the nights were getting
cold. But for some reason or other
Jack did not like the Tailor. It might
pc because the Tailor was so much
smaller than Jack. Anyway he
showed his dislike by cutting the
Tailor when Tinker Bob wasn't
around, and sending him rolling over
the floor.
But the little Tailor was not a fell
low that went to the King with all Of
his troubles like Jerry the Jay al
ways did. But 1t happened that
Tinker caught Jack the Wood Rat
In the very act Of giving this indus
trious little Tailor a beating. Jack
came quietly up from. behind carry

enough he dropped the stone on the

Regarding
- MacSwiney Conflict

London, Sept. 29.-Tercnce Mac
Swiney. lord mayor OF Cork. had a
very bad night at Brixton prison and
was looking very drawn this morn
ing, said a bulletin issued by the
Irish Self-Determination league. He
was very weak. the bulletin declared,
but otherwise there was little change
in his condition.
In his report of the home Office,
the physician at Brixton prison stat
ed MacSwiney had a restful night
and was in fine spirit this morning.
For some days" said an official.
the change from day to day in Lord
Mayor MacSwiney has been 30 slight
that it has been almost impercepti-
bic, out his emaciated lace and
weakening voice tell the tale of
gradual deterioration"

1 bring a Tailor from the Forest to
make you a garment to sleep in"
said the King. you drop a stone on
his tail when he isn't looking" Think
er Bob took Jack by the tail and held
him at arms length and 1t nearly
frightened poor Jack to death, for II
the King hao dropped him he would
surely bump his nose.
The Tailor's tail swelled up till 1t
was twice the natural size. But he
didn't even squeal. In his mind was
a plan by which he could keep this
Wood Rat from acting so rudely. He
said nothing to the King about his
plan, but kept right on working:
Tinker Bob gave Jack the Wood
Rat a sound spanking, which 1 think
he needed, and then told him he
would have to go without his dinner.
And to think the King had made
ready a splendid dinner! He had
provided a potato and q fine a of
corn for Jack, but now he could not
tie Tailor also. But this fellow didn't
care much for corn and potatoes.
Nothing like that for him.
Tinker Bob knew this so he had
bought with him from the Hunters
cornfield a dozen crickets. four grass
hoppers, three corr beetles, and eight
or nine big greer flies. He found
Hunters corr and he knew that the
little Tailor was very fond of such
food. And this was h reason why
the Tailor was willing to take such
! punishment from Jack the Wood
Rat, and stay right on the job. For
as long as he was working for the
King, he did not have to hunt for his
own food.
His name? 1 nearly forgot to tell
you. Why, the King calls him Mr..
Grasshopper Mouse. because he dear
!ly loves gr%asshoppers. crickets.
beetles and flies. But don't forget,
before he gets those pajamas made,
Jack will be sorry he ever dropped a
stone on the little Tailor's tail.
