Of Ida Armstrong on the back Of the
check was written In" many days
after the check passed through sew.
eral banks to the hank at Norfolk.
where Michael 0lennan had his ac-
count.
This check was produced yester-
day morning." said Mr.. Lambert in
reply. "1t was produced by Mr.. Har-

Of the State of New York. 1t was
produced after he had told your
honor that he was anticipating mail
which would in all probability reach

check from Norfolk is at your honor's
disposal, ready to be submitted to

"ft is inconceivable to me that Mr.
Wright did not know. and did not
ask, and did not learn from Mr..
Howe whether the bank records
would show to whom the check Was
paid: and 1t certainly Ia not right to
wait until finding what the records
do show before making the applica.

Adults In Washington Face A

probable that before the Glorious Day dawns the guests

Granny Duck. Just Jump on my back

Tip Mouse did not feel at all safe on
the back of Granny Duck, but he knew
if he could learn to swim he would be
the envy of all the meadow mice and
that was worth trying for he thought.
Granny Duck took him out to the
middle Of the river and then she dueked
her head, shook her back and tumbled
Tip off into the water.
He splashed and ne kicked and paved,
but somehow he managed TO keep his little
head above the water.
He forgot all about Granny Duck, he
was so scared, and splashing and paw
ing be made his way TO the bank, where
he scrambled up more dead thaa alive.

and they had TO swim.

Mouse II am sure would have drowned
il had not reached the bank.
''Of course YOU would have drowned
if YOU had not kept swimming" said
Granny, but you did, now try it again
and see how easy it is. "
Tip crawled down TO the water edge
and before he knew il Granny gave him 5
punch with one wing and away he went
swimming and growing Drawer every
minute
Tip taught all his brothers and sisters
70 swim, and the ducks tell this story
and say that was the way the first meadow
mouse learned to swim long, long ago
