Little Brown Butterfly, haven't you made a mistake?" asked Peter Gnume.
 No" said the little Brown Butter fly, T haven't made any mistake that I know of.
 Do you know of any that I've made? Do tell me, if you know of any, for l cannot think of any that l have made. 1 cannot think of any at all.
 You must tell me, Peter Gnome. believe you said your name was that, didn't you"
 Yes, my name is Peter Gnome, and you've made no mistake in my name. But think you've made another mis- take though. Of course, I'm not sure if you have or not, but you will be able to tell me-"
 "Ah, then let me hear what you think it is for I will want to tell you whether I have or not and, of course, I cannot know whether 1 have made d mistake or not until you tell me what you think my mistake has been.
 That is a very long sentence for little brown butterfly, isn't it?"
 The Brown Butterfly smiled a sweet little Butterfly smile.
 "Tell me of the mistake you think I have made"
 q will tell you at Once," said Peter GnOme
 So Peter Gnome sat upon an old stump in the woods and the little Brown Butterfly sat upon a shrub nearby.
 "I think you have made a mistake in finding your home" said Peter GnOme.
 "Surely your home cannot be here. Surely, you have lost your way and

perhaps, can help you find 1t. Will you let me try?
 T would be very glad to help you, if l am able to and I think I will be able to, for know these parts we'll.
 Your home must be along some country road or in a field or in a gar den, somewhere in the sunshine, I'm sure.
 You have made a mistake, haven't you, Brown Butterfly? You are away from home, aren't you? And probably you have lost your way. That has been the trouble, hasn't 1t?
 You are longing now to go back to the sunshine and to your friends and to your family I feel sure."
 Just then a number of other brown butterflies flew by.
 There are some other members of your family who have probably lost their way, too," continued Peter Gnome.
 Did they follow you and did you lead them the wrong way by mistake?'
 "No," said the Brown Butterfly, five haven't lost our way. We live here"
 You live in the w0Qds?" said Peter Gnome. "How very, very strange Have you just moved here? And don t you miss the sunshineT
 "NO," said the Brown Butterfly, i've haven't just moved here, but our fam fly has always lived in the woods or near the woods or by a woodland stream.
 "We love the quiet, dark, cool woods and the edges of the woods and the woodland streams. We do not care for the bright, bright sunlight.
 we like the shadows and the still ness of the woods. We like the quiet and the soft, low colors of a wood land home.
 "I do not wonder you are surprised, Peter Gnome, for very few, If any, of the butterflies, ever care to make their homes in the woods.
 "I think we are almost the only fam fly, If not the only family, of butter, flies who live in the woods.
 But we love the woods and we will always live here. No, Peter Gnome we have not lost our way. We aren't looking for the sunshine.
 "The shadows which dance in be. tween the trees when the sun is shin ing outside and above the woods are what we like.
 "We are the woodland butterfiie. and we are happy to live where the woodland creatures are. And some times when people see us, they think too, we have lost our way, for 1t seems so strange that any butterflies care tc live away from the great dazzling sun shine.
 But we do, we little brown butter flies do, and we will never leave the lovely woods. the delicious, cool, re freshing woods! !'

 Again in the 1919 session, MT. Rudd was House chairman of the military affairs committee, and he vas appointed Senate chairman in the recent session, in which he repre- sented the Thirty-First District, and, as such, he reported in the bill which wound up the state guard and mili- tary emergency board and put legis- lation on the statute books made necessary by the reorganization of the national guard.

Not NeQro SonQs.

Most people fancy in a vague way that Stephen Fosters songs are ne- groid or were inspired by the negro music. But "Old Folks at Home" and the other Foster melodies are about as unlike negro music as anything could possibly be. That their words are often in negro dialect and express ne- gro sentiments is simply a historic ac- cident due to the fact that in Fosters day the negro minstrels, real or "corked," were the only means of bringing music before the public.

The mayor of Kansas City will fly back with the other mayor to at tend the first aero congress in Omaha.
 Membership in the American Le- gion proved it's worth to Arnold flaw kinson, Glencoe, Minn., after his automobile was stolen in Minneapolis recently. Shortly after the theft police scrutinized an automobile in which two women had driven to the jail for visit with a prisoner. Un- der the seat they found a copy of the American Legion Weekly ad- dressed to Hawkinson. The women were arrested and the automobile re- turned to it's owner.

Used Concrete Balls.

j. Z. Boldt, an expert local amateur,
who spent a number of years in the
timber section of northwestern Maine,
asserts that persons who have ever
acquired ordinary or more than average
skill at billiards will adapt themselves
to incredible conditions to indulge In
something akin to the real game. The
reason for this assertion Is that at
Van Buren,, on the st. Johns River, on
the Canadian border, he found q club
in which, on the most dilapidated
41x9 table he ever saw, concrete balls
and clubs of cues completed what was
called billiard equipment. The balls
were of ordinary building concrete and
the members proudly declared. I'VE
had them made right here
Il joined the club and persuaded the
members to have the table renovated
and get set Of ivory balls" said Boldt.
The president of the organization was
Frank Reed, the local chief of customs,
who had been a star halfback in a
Maine college football team. In any
place where he would have had access
TO good billiard equipment he would
have been Class A amateur. With
comparatively little practice with ivory
balls he became a sure IA man on a
four and a half by nine foot table
When they were procured the balls were
not OF the best quality and in that cold
climate it was impossible to keep them
in as good condition as they were when
first used"
