an idea he had for making white
coat, for he very much wanted a nice
chicken for his dinner.
At noontime he knew the henl
and chickens would be let out OF
their house up at the farm for din
ner, and he made up his mind to try
to get one before the farmer or Mr.
Dog saw him.
Flour is white" thought Reddy. 81
could jump into the -four barrel and
get my coat thickly covered with
white and then off / can run and be
back before father or mother finds II
out, and I guess they will be pleased
when l bring home chicken or fat
hen for dinner
Grandpa Fox dozed and Reddy ran
to the pantry to carry out his plan
and in little while out he came so
white his own mother would not have
known him. Out of the house and
across the fields he went, arriving at
the farm just as the poultry came out
of their house for dinner.
Reddy took care to keep close to the
SAoN hllltS lCdl lhC otohC Ndiis oat
he did not know that good part of
the flour had been shaken from his
fur coat by running so far.
There was enough of 1t left, how
ever, so that when he grabbed at a
plump hen her wings tapped so that
the flour flew out Of his coat and got
into Reddy's nose and he had to drop
his dinner and run.
Mr.. Dog had heard the commotion
and ont he came barking loudly. He
leaped over the wall and after Reddy
he ran.
But just as Mr.. Dog was upon him,
Reddy passed bush and as his tail
struck 1t, out flew the flour straight
into the face of Mr.. Dog.
He choked and he barked and by
the time he could breathe Reddy Fox
was nowhere in sight
When Reddy reached home his
mother was at the door, and though
he tried to explain why he jumped
into the flour barrel, she would not
listen but beat his coat until there
was no flour left in It.
Mother was very rough cleaning
my coat" said Reddy, rubbing his
back as he sat by the fire beside his
grandpa later. II wonder If had a
coat like my Arctic cousins If she
would try to beat the white out Of
that?"
"She might said grandpa, with a
twinkle in his eye. you better not
try any scheme for changing the color
of your coat, for 1t will soon be spring
and you want to feel real spry for
the hunting season"

The wee small hours ayant the twall.-
Burns.
XXIHY is it that the dances you
w dance-or once danced-after
one o'clock always seem so much more
stimulating and joyous than the
dances that you dance while the night
is still young?
1t may be that 1t is only after we
have been dancing for some time that
we get really into the swing Of 1t, or
perhaps we can find the explanation in
the old truism that stolen sweets are
have a feeling that we are rObbing
ourselves Of our sleep that we enjoy
these early morning dances.
The fact is that while the war lasted
our dances were shorter. And some
people went so far as to predict that
we could never go back to the old-time
custom of dancing or allowing our
daughters and sons to dance until "all
hours Of the morning. But the
armistice had not been signed many
days before dances were lasting long
er and now all the old-time enthus-
iasm for dancing till dawn seems to
have been revived. At least sucn seems
to be the case In many parts Of the
country and in Washington and New
York more than one hostess has
served breakfast to her late dance
guests at about five In the morning
after dance. And this breakfast, be
it known, consists Of nothing less
hearty than coffee. rolls and sausages.
During war days the dances began
earlier, but now the hour has been
set on to ten o'clock In a good many
cases. This means supper at mid
night or somewhat later. OF course
many people feel that they have tar
ried long enough II they linger until
after supper. but the dance enthus-
iasts-the young folk-linger on in the
good old-fashioned way.
Whatever your own taste for late
hours may be, however. you should al
ways make sure that you are not out
staying your welcome and just because
company of young persons become
more interested In their dancing a.
the hours advance Is no reason why
they should impose on the good nature
Of hostess who has not planned for
such a late breaking up Of her party.
In general. II is safe to assume that n
your hostess is expecting her guests
to dance till very late hour. she will
set the hour for the beginning Of her
dance as late as nine or ten. II the
hour Is earlier. then the guests should
make point Of going home earlier.

"AcTINo UP"

A youngster In a surly mood
Refused to play or eat his food.
His father said, II greatly fear
He needs some discipline severe"
The mother smiled and shook her head
Just let the child alone,' she said.
Bad moments come to great and small
He's merely acting up; that's all.
"He may be weary of the day;
Weary alike of chorus or play:
Or weary. as we grown folks grow,
Because the hours are dull and slow
In just little while he'll be
A real boy, all gay and free.
Answering youths eternal call
He's merely acting up; that's all.'
They say that men are grown-up boys
Who play with more expensive toys,
So when a friend seems to forget
True friendliness. I shall not fret,
I'll wait until a brighter day
Dispels the shadows. chill and gray,
And patiently these words recall:
He's merely acting up; that's ALL"

RED FOX's WHITE COAT

THE ground was covered with
L snow. Little Reddy Fox peeked
from the doorway of his home, wish
ing he could run over to the farm.
"If you go out" said Old Grandpa
Fox. who was sitting by the fireplace,
-Mr. Dog or Mr.. Man will surely see
you. You need white coat like your
cousin, the Arctic Fox, to go out In
weather like this"
"Oh, Grandpa, do tell me about my
cousin did not know that any little
foxes had white coats. Where do they
1ive?"
"Oh, they live miles and miles away
from around here" answered Grand
pa Fox, "up In the Arctic regions of
the cold north land.
"They are called the Blue Foxes or
White Foxes, and they are about the
same size that we are when they are
grown"
But, Grandpa, how can they have
two names?" asked Reddy. "Are they
blue and white?"
"Only in the winter time does your
Arctic cousin put on his white coat"
said Grandpa. All the rest of the year
he is sort of blush gray. Some of
the family wear nearly all of this
color and others have upper parts Of
their body brown, with whitish fur
on their stomachs. but in the winter
every one puts on all-white coats so

WHEN FARM HOMES LISTEN IN

The nation is radio mad Not in
many year has there been craze
widespread as the present craze for
picking the "chatter'' from the air as
it is sent from broadcasting radio sta
tions under the auspices of great cleo
trical companies, big newspapers, and
some of the departments Of the gov
crnment at Washington. The possibil
tiles of the development of radio COM
munication stagger the thoughtful mind
and draw upon the widest fancies Of
the Imagination.
Once again the marvellous wonders of
science and the incredible progress Of
invention conspire to destroy that lone
some isolation that once held the farm
homes Of the land in its blighting
grasp. The radiophone has caught the
attention of the world, and every day
we find that thousands and thousands
of sets Of receiving apparatus are be-
ing installed in homes to catch the

est term Of years there have been re.
markable developments in science and
invention and the conveniences Of the
modern age that tend to overcome in
large measure the isolation Of farm
homes. The rural free delivery Of mail
brings q welcome service to the farm
er's home and keeps him in touch with

which is our hope and which has been
traced in the heart Of the wilds by
the Omnipotent in such majestic lines.
The trip may be extended day or
more to include a climbing expedition

may be broken and the party may

are INDUCED in. Side trips from this
lake to the "Grant's Washboard and

party may also proceed on over the
head of Fall creek and down French

the very best of lake fishing is had.
The remainder of the trip would in

pass and down to Missouri lake or on
to Gold park and up to Homestake

in plentiful numbers. Return to Red
Cliff after the several days outing is
made directly down Homestake creek
on good road.
Game is fairly plentiful in this re-
gion, deer being found scattered over
the whole range while mountain quail
and ptarmigan are to be seen ON
