AN UNEXPECTED INVITATION
CHAPTER XIX.

CHAPTER XIX.
1t was after five o'clock when I
left Helen. was very tired, but
her dinner promised to be a great
success. / had scarcely started to
prepare our own dinner before /
heard Helen's rap on the door.
walter just telephoned and
asked me to invite you and Tom.
He wants him to meet one of the
men who is coming to dinner.
You'll come, won't you?" she fin
ished.
"Why--I---"
please don't stand on ceremony
Sue. / know its late to ask you,
but I never dreamed Walter would
want anyone except the two men.
He told me they wanted to talk
business. Perhaps it would be q
help to Tom in business way il
you will come"
"That decided me. If anything
could do would help Tom in
business; help him TO make more
money, why was more than will
ing to do it. I had hesitated fear
ing Helen thought she must invite
US because ! had assisted her
with the dinner.
"I'll come of course" l told her,
shall be delighted to. Will it be
necessary for Tom to dress?" l
asked. / always laid out his even
ing clothes when he was going
to wear them.
"My MOI Walters friends will
wear their business clothes. There's
one thing | am sure of Sue" she
laughed as she hurried out the
door, land that is you will get "a
good dinner"
| laughed too as l answered:
"You don't expect me to eat
my own cooking, do you? l can
have that at home"
An Agreeable Surprise.
Tom was quite excited when ]
told him we were asked to Wal
ter Thurston's business dinner.
'Put on your white dress, Sue, "
he said to me. 1--WE a notion I've
met one of the men Thurston has
invited" .,...
"But, Toni started to9object,
then caught myself. If Tom
wanted me to wear the best dress
/ had to a simple little informal
dinner, he would surely appre-
ciate that / could not wear it
to dressy affairs.
"Mr. and Mrs. Randall. Mr.
Horne, and Mr.. Crandell." Walter

OPTIMISTIC VIEW is
TAKEN OF LIVESTOCK
INDUSTRY BY KANSAM

Topeka, Kans, Jan. 81. H.
Mercer, secretary of the Kansas
Livestock association, takes an OPP
timistic view of the livestock in
dustry.
although there has been no inn
provement in the market prices OF
livestock, the shorter supplies
have steadied the market and it Is
the general belief that the worst
is over" he declared. "At any rate,
financial conditions are slightly
improved. .
"I believe that the livestock in
dustry is now on more stable
foundation today than almost any
other industry. Prices are rock
bottom and loans based on this low
price level are safer than they
have been for six years. Cattle pa
per should now be better than
most any other security il it -
based upon present values. A cat
tie loan transferred to man who
has an abundance of feed should
be 40 per cent better than it origi-
nally was and should be mighty ac-
ceptable.
1--WE have big crops of meat
making foods which will go to
waste if not fed to livestock. The
Canadian government fully realizes
that the surplus feed in that coun-
try must be taken care of and is
offering every inducement to get
farmers to buy livestock. The Ca
madam farmer who will go to mar
ket, has his car fare paid by the
government and If he takes as
much as a carload of cattle
home, the government pays the
freight. Our government now
seems to be awakening to condl-
tions, and no doubt the attitude
taken by congress has some bear
ing on the slightly improved fl
nancial situation.
"Untold losses have been suf-
fered by nearly every producer OF
livestock, through the depreciation
in value Of his herds-herds that
have been raised at high costs. |
believe that now is the time for
these men to hold.
About all that is left for the
stockman to do is to make a fresh
start with what he has left"

us under our wings, for we live on
sage out West. Here is some for
the duck lady" "'
Then the sage hen and her hus-
band gave Uncle Wiggily all the
dried sage leaves Mrs. Wibblewob-
BILE could want. And just as the
bunny was thanking the strange
birds from the West, all at once
along came sneaking the Fuzzy
Fox.
II want Uncle Wiggily." howled
the Fox.
well, you can't have him!'
crowed Mr.. Sage Rooster. And
with that the big bird puffed his
yellow patches up full of air, like
toy balloons, which was just what
they were made for. And he looked
so fierce and angry, the sage bird
did, that the Fox tucked his tail
between his legs and ran away as
fast as he could run.
Then Uncle Wiggily took the
sage to the duck lady, the /sage
hens flew back out West, and what
happened to the Fox l don't know.
But if the goldfish doesn't try to
polish it's tail on the cake of soap,
and get suds in the potatoes eyes,
I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and the washing machine.

in my pockets, where ! have been
carving pieces of cherry pie, "
spoke Uncle Wiggily. You are
welcome to as many crumbs as
YOU can eat-whoever you are"
No sooner had Uncle Wiggily
said this than he began to be
afraid lest it might be the Wolf
or Fox speaking, but when he saw
two brown and white speckled
birds, about as large as hens, he
wasn't frightened
ooh, can you give us crumbs?"
asked the larger bird, who had
some queer. yellow patches on
either side of his neck.
"PIenty!" said the bunny gen.
tleman, and out of his pocket he
scattered some crumbs on a log
that was not covered with snow.
Then, while the big birds were
eating, Uncle Wiggily hoped on
to the, store to get Mrs. Wibble-
wobble's sage. But as it happened
the three and four cent store was
all out of sage that day, and so
was the five and ten. Try as I'm
Gle Wiggily did, he could find no
sage leaves anywhere for the duck
lady. .l.. ......--....
ooh, I'm so sorry!" said Uncle
Wiggily, as he was hopping back
to his bungalow.
Sorry for WHAT" asked a
voice, and there We're those two,
large, brown and white speckled
birds who had eaten all the
crumbs. "Why are you sorry, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked the bird with the
yellow patches.
Because 1 can find no sage for
Mrs. Wibblewobble," answered the
bunny
1--WE have plenty" said the
bird. 1--WE are sage hens from the
West; my wife and I. We came
here thinking to find life easier,
but it is much harder. We brought
a lot of dried sage leaves with

THE HAPPY MAN.


If you would know a happy man. ~
Go find the fellow who
Has had a bout with trouble grim
And just come smiling through.
Y
The load is off his shoulders now,
Where yesterday he frowned
And swoic,there was no joy in life,
He laughs his way around
He's done the v{ry thing he thought :.
That he couldl never do,
His sun is shi fng high today
And all his skies are blue
He's stronger than he was before,
Should trouble come anew,
He'll know how much his strength can bear
And how much he can do.
Today he has the right to smile.
And he may gayly sing,
For he has conquered where he feared
To come to failures sting.
Comparison has taught him, too,
The sweetest joys are those
Which follow on the heels of care
To free us from woes.

If you would meet happy man, :,
Go find the fellow who s'S +.
Has had bout with trouble grim
And Just come smiling through.

three delegates were lynched; they
were in Jail. their weird Ito dree,
for crimes revolving pinched. And
masked men came. perhaps three
score, as grim as doom or fate,
and strung them to a sycamore,
which groaned beneath their
weight. And law abiding people
then sent up an angry cry; it
was a shame that untried men
should thus unshriven die. And l
forsook my divers tasks to rant

CrotUd SO Big Jerome
W0its on Fire Escape

The rooms Of the 7th Assem-
bly, District Republican Club,
Eightieth Street and Broadway,
were so jammed last night when
Henry II. Curran, Republican,
coalition candidate for Mayor,
spoke for fifteen minutes on the
transit and school problems that
William Travers Jerome, former
District Attorney, had to wait in
the chill wind on the fire escape
until Mr.. Curran had done.
The fire escape, on the Eightieth
Street side of the building, was
so crowded with those who could
not get into the hall that Jerome
and his party forced their way
with difficulty to the landing on
the second floor. Here further
progress was barred by an i'm
movable score, mostly women,
who refused to bulge even when
informed that Mr.. Jerome desired
to be inside. They said they
wanted to be, too, and thought it
would be nice if Mr.. Jerome would
wait with them.

"Now let us see what Henry Curran
has done. Henry Curran has not got
any business record except, in your
service. His business record was one
of hard work, fighting his way through
college to get an education, working
on the paper, gathering up the children
of the City of New York for the Fresh
Air fund. He came into your public
service as an Alderman with spotless
record Then served as a magistrate
and when the great struggle came on,
not pleading that there were people
dependent upon him for support, thefe
was Henry Curran; no dollar-a-year
in a swivel chair Not man believing
that he was magistrate and that the
eXigencies of the administrs tion Of the
law required that he should not go TO
the front, but he was over there and
he was right in the spot where people
got hurt. Thank God for that. Inva-

position as magistrate and then be-
came the Borough President, and you
do not find any black diamonds pinned
to him anywhere.
