story:


Jimmie is a woodchuck,
A pet he is, and rare.
He stays at William Hutchins' home
He seems TO like il there.
They found the thing half-starved
They sposed his mother dead,
Maybe We could feed him up,
Let's try it once" they said.
They fed him fro-n a bottle tip,
And then gave him his name.
1t didn't seem so very long,
Till he was very tame.
Jimmie found some flower potts.
Dirt was in the air.
Pots and plants were on the floor,
But Jimmie didn't care.
Jimmie found another plant,
A little lemon-tree,
He sat right down and pulled off
leaves,
And smacked his chops with glee.
Now, OF course, such fun as that,
Would never last you see,
For when the women saw the sight.
Poor Jimmie,-Where was he?
Jimmie took a trip last fall,
And never left a word,
He was away six weeks or more,
From him they never heard.
But Jim came back on a day,
They knew not where he'd been.
The motives are, of Jimmie pet,
Beyond the tongue or pen.
Winter came and days grew cold.
(The cold, you know, he hates,)
TOO much for me-" thinks little Jim.
II guess I'll hibernate.
Again he left and not O WORD
Just gone a long, long time,
He spent the entire winter,
In sleep and dreams sublime.
About the time for grounding day,
Mr.. II. was in his shed,
He peeped into a grpund-hog-ho
What's that? It's James," he said.
Come jim! Come Jim! Come here
to me!
Have you left your winters bed?
Come on Come Jim. Come here!
Let's see!
It is really your" he said.
Jimmie slowly ventured out,
Eyes sir, m word! it's him,
Well, now, what do you think CT that?
My, o my. but he's SLIM"
Winter ia over and Jimmie is back.
He cares no more TO roam,
He's just as happy as can be,
In Hutchin's Home Sweet Home"

Fox farming does not always prove
as disastrous to the investors as at
Reedsburg in this county. On Prince
Edward Island last year the business
was almost as profitable as the com
bined fish and dairy business. The
wealth was derived from the 5000
pairs of adults producing $500 young
and the pelts sold brought about $2O(
each. After all there may be some
thing in the management of a bust
ness.

rolled there for forty years. The
college was supported by lottery in
its early career but that is not what
attracts this young-old man. A mum.

the student was to be paid an annuity

reasons why death was invented.

dress TO the girl Of the mid-victorlan
age. At least she was so acclaimed to-

the days when young ladies were not
fiappers and preferred hoops TO
goloshes."
Wearing an up-to-the-minute version
of prevailing styles as she presented her
argument Mrs. Sutherland Brown made

who. dressed In the costume OF seventy
years ago, were demonstrating for their
side some OF the charms Of that period.

BIND STATES TO PEACE

PARIS, Feb. 24.-Land disarmament
is said by the Temps to be a surprise
which, it is reported Premier Lloyd
George OF Great Britain intends to
spring at the Genoa conference.
AS disarmament is not on the pro-
gram the question will come up indi-
rectly, cording to the paper, but it
can easily be raised by first binding
European States not to attack their
neighbors and then suggesting reduc-
ton of armies as means of lessening
budget burdens.
The Temps concludes that the only
way to reduce land armaments effec-
lively would be TO adopt the French
peace conference idea of giving to the
League of Nations an international
force to police the world.
