 Then Johnny would grind his teeth and in his eyes was the ugliest look He wasn't nice to see, not bit nice. The Merry Little Freezes of Old mother West Wind didn't know what to make of him. Could this be the Johnny Chuck they had known so long, the good natured, happy Johnny Chuck whom everybody loved? They drew away from him, for they didn't want anything to do with any one in such frightful temper But Johnny Chuck didn't even notice, and if he had he wouldn't have cared That is the trouble with anger. It crowds out everything else when it once fills the heart.
 When Johnny had first seen the stranger he had thought right away that it was the old gray Chuck with whom he had had such a terrible fight the day before, and whom he had whipped. Perhaps that was one req son for Johnny Chuck's terrible an- ger now, for the old gray Chuck had tried to drive Johnny Chuck off the Green Meadows.

WHY ioHNNY CHUCK DIDN'T
 

FIGHT
 Anger is an aw ful thing;
 III never stops to reason.
 IL boils rtsht over all at once.
 No matter what the season.
 IL was so with Johnny Chuck The minute he caught sight of the strange chuck over by the lone elm tree anger Tiled his heart and fairly boiled over until he was in a terrible rage. Of course 1t was foolish. very foolish in- oeed- The strange chuck hadn't said or done anything to make Johnny chuck angry; not the least thing in the world excepting to come down on 10 the Green Meadows. Now the Green Meadows are very broad, and there is room for many chucks. It vas pure selfishness on the part ot Johnny Chuck 10 want to drive away every other chuck.
 But anger never stops to reason. It didn't now. Johnny Chuck hurried as fast as his short legs could take him toward the lone elm tree and in his mind was just one thought-to drive that strange chuck off the Green Meadows and to punish him so that he never, never would dare even think of coming back. So great was Johnny's anger that every hair stood on end and as he ran he chattered and Scolded

the angrier he grew. Somehow the stranger managed to keep out of his sight He was almost ready to give up when he almost stumbled over the stranger hiding in a little clump of bushes. And then funny thing hap pened What do you think it was ? Why, all the anger left Johnny Chuck. His hair no longer stood on end. He didn't know why, but all of a sudden he felt foolish, very foolish, indeed.
