"How then do you say that they

Il mean," said Mother Toad, that
they don't have thousands of children

"You see," said Mother Toad, Il

But l haven't much use for folks
who're always disliking everyone who
doesn't think the same and dress the

"They miss SO much joy out of life,
and besides, people who want every

"Now l lay eleven thousand eggs

piled So Much.

The boy scouts were telling their
scoutmaster of some of the good turns
they had done during the last week.
He was having tais done for the bene-

who was visiting the meeting. One Of
the little scouts. said, II helped an old
lady across the street"
The next little scout looked at the
visiting teacher, who happened to be
his teacher, and who also was in the
early thirties. Il brought my teacher
a pitcher Of well water when she was
not feeling WELL" he told the scout
master.
The teacher smiled, "Why didn't you
say you helped another old iady?" she
asked.
The retort that came back staggered
her. The little scout said sweetly. "A
