Isn't "Cute"i in
Long Trousers

When a boy is short and fat
and pink-cheeked. and red-headed.
and Quick-tempered, the young
ladies describe him in three words.
Isn't he cute?"
When Tubby Raymond got Job
in grocery for the summer. the
brown-eyed young beauty who
handled the butter, eggs and cash
register aptly tagged him with
the standard three-word label.
He was a likeable fellow. She
was kind-hearted and didn't make
fun OF him. When Tubby found
a person who refrained from
laughing in his face and at his
expense. he ranked that one very
highly on his select list of friends.
Within two weeks Miss Living
ston's name headed the list. Tubby
walked home with her every even
ing. They were a very agreeable
pair, indeed.
A Suit and n Bike.
Privately Tubby nursed two am
billions. 1t was these that had
driven him to summer of labor.
He wanted first a bicycle and
second a suit of clothes with long
pants. Both were denied him at
home until driven to desperation
by his persistence. his mother
had declared that he could have
them II he would make the money
to buy them himself. This is what
Tubby with great reluctance had
finally decided to do. As soon
as he had made friends with Miss
Livingston he concluded IL was the
wisest decision he had ever made.
Tubby decided that long pants
we're Just what he needed to make
himself worthy Of his friend.
Two weeks passed. and Tubby's
pocketbook grew fatter. He Knew
where he could get a bicycle for
500. He thought he could get a
suit for $40. It was the proudest
moment Of his life when he put
$40 In cash In his pocket and
started down town.
Tubby's disappointment.
But somehow hard luck dogs the
footsteps Of all of the isn't he
cute?" type. There were suits
for $50. but not the kind TO be
worn in the company of young
ladies like Miss Livingston. When
Tnbby went home he had a $40
suit and a lump OF disappoint-
ment instead of bicycle But he
bore himself like a man. Hadn't
he arranged to go to the movies
that evening with Miss Livingston?
He would wear his long pants for
the first time.
He felt uncomfortable enough at
the beginning anyway. Suddenly
all grew black He heard Miss
Livingston saying:
"Tubby. what in the world did
YOU get those long pants for?
thought YOU looked so cute in that
other suit. Now you've spoiled II

still felt hungry, and the two
had eaten only seemed to whet
my appetite, and I staid there
and ate chickens until could
eat no more.
Then / stole Off as I had
come, and in the morning, when
the old hen awakens, counts her
chickens and finds eight or ten
missing. she will think the rats
or weasels have eaten them"
"Oh, Button, how could you
eat those dear little things"
said the Widow Brown.
Just as easily as people eat
raw oysters. What is that
scratching 1 hear on the other
side of the fence?"
TT is I. Stubby. am dig
ging a hole so I can come in
and talk to you"
"Stubby, you are a sight" said
Billy, even in this dim light,
What in the world have you
stuck your head into?"
Nothing alarming. I can as
sure you. I was nosing around
under the barn, looking for
something to eat when / ran my
nose into a hens nest, and acct
dentally broke several of the
eggs and they stuck to the
fuzzy hair around my nose.
Some old hen had stolen her
nest and was laying an egg a
day in It until she had enough
to set on. Then I suppose she
expected to raise q brood Of
chickens.
Now. by eating what were
not broken I have saved her all
the bother of raising a large
family and wearing herself out
clucking,N clucking, clucking at
them from morning till night.
The chances are, II she had
gone on and Matched her family,
Button would have happened
along and eaten them up. so
have only made her trouble

Actiue Week
For the Youths
Dear Bud:

Dear Bud:
Say let me tell you a few
things We are going to have at
the "" during the Christmas
week that is. the week between
Christmas and the New Year.
The "Y" will be closed all day
Christmas Day. which is cele-
brated on Monday. and then
bright and early Tuesday morn
ing they are going to open with
a bang" The gym classes will
be held in the morning every
day. The game tournament 10
going to be in the morning, aft
ernoon and evening every day.
And then, there will be some
thing special doing at other
times. By something special 1
mean movies Tuesday night; an
interesting trip Friday AFTER
Friday night.
I'll bet you're wondering what
the game tournament Is. III
tell you what I've found out.
They have about a dozen games
here that they play. Nine OF
these are going to be played
during tho game tournament
These are billiards, checkers,
chess, cur rogue, horse shoes,
passo, pingpong, pool and shuf-
fle board I think you know
how to play most Of these, don't
you?
guess there must be about
100 fellows that are going 70
play In these games during the
next week. In order to give
everybody a show they have d.
vided the fellows into two
groups for each game. The ju-
niors are boys IL, IS and IA. and
the seniors are fellows 10, IL
and II.
We're also going to have
big time on New Years Day. but
I will tell you about that later
