Icy lHOHN " ON w, BURCESS,)
Jimmy Skunk sat at the top Of the
Crooked Little Path and watched Old
Mother West Wind gather her Merry
Little Breezes into the big bag in
which she would carry them to her
home behind the Purple Hills. AS he
watched Jimmy would sometimes look
over toward Farmer Browns and
chuckle. He was waiting for the black
shadows to creep out from the Purple
Hills.
BY and by he saw them coming,
creeping slowly slowly out across the
Green Meadows and up the Crooked
Little Path to his very feet. When it
had grown quite dark Jimmy Skunk
henhouse. He knew of a hole by which
he could get in without any trouble.
He could hear the sleepy chatter Of the
hens as they settled themselves more
comfortably on the roosts Jimmy
waited. He wanted to be sure that all
were asleep before he. ventured in.
Soon all was still, Very cautiously
Jimmy Skunk crept inside. He knew
Just where every nest was, for he had
been there many times before. In the
second one he looked into was a nice
brown egg. 1t made Jimmy's mouth
water, for Jimmy is very fond of eggs.
But he closed his lips tightly and
picked up the egg. Then he crept out
hurried, which is something very I'M
usual for Jimmy Skunk. over TO the
Green Forest, where he hid the egg in

for another egg Three times he made
the trip to Farmer Browns henhouse

Billy Mink came over and listened,

Shadow the Weasel, who stole my
trout
So presently Billy Mink, who is
famous fisherman, brought Jimmy
Skunk a fat fish and Jimmy thanked
him. Then he dragged it up through
the Green Forest and finally put II in
the hollow stump with the eggs. When
he had done this, he hurried off to find
Peter RABBIT and Johnny Chuck, for II
was then just the beginning Of the
morning. II was hard work, but he
finally got them to come up and hide
with him near the hollow stump.
They had been there but n little
while when they heard rusting Of
the leaves. Jimmy reached over and
poked Peter Rabbit. There was Ssadow
The Weasel running with his nose TO
the ground and following the smell OF
ash where Jimmy Skunk had dragged
the trout that Billy Mink had given
him.

$1,000 DAMAGE
DONE BY fire TO
EATON GROCERY

EATON, O., March 2.-Fire that
broke out in the roof Of the Matchett
grocery building, North Maple street,
Monday afternoon, burned away the
roof of the two-story frame building
before the fire department succeeded
in controlling the flames.
The blaze is thought to have started
from a defective flue or from sparks
dropping on the roof. Damage done
to the grocery stock cannot be &C
curately estimated until it has been
gone over. The loss was wholly due
to water poured upon the building.
Damage to the building probably will
amount to something like $1,000
Mr.. Matchett, owner Of the build
ing and grocery stock, carried suffic'
lent insurance to cover his loss. He
states the building will be repaired
Immediately and that he will reopen
his business as soon as possible.
