Mr.. Possum was specially interested
when he found that Mrs Rabbit was
among other things, putting up great
deal Of canned corn, and he decided
that when 1t was dark he would just
take peek into her pantry window
and see how many cans she had.
Right in front of the window was a
tree and one limb hung low enough SO
that Mr.. Postum with little care
could easily swing himself from 1t and
reach the pantry window.
Now this might have been safe
enough If the limb had been good
one, but 1t wasn't, and when Mr.. Pos
sum ran along 1t, before he could even
get ready to swing, "crackle, snap,"
went the limb and down went Mr..
Postum into a barrel Of whitewash
Mrs. Rabbit had ready to use on her
little house.
And that was not the worst Of It,
He ran home SO scared that he didn't
remember running at all after 1t was
over. Mrs. Postum didn't know him,
but thought he was some terrible
white creature come to carry off her
children and slammed the door right
in his face.
All night Mr.. Postum had to sit out.
side, the whitewash dripping from his
coat, and in the morning, bright and
early, all the little Dummies and Mr.,
and Mrs. Rabbit as well were standing
in front Of the house looking at him.
Mrs. Rabbit wanted to know what he
meant by carrying off some Of her
whitewash. "Mr. Rabbit and and
all the little Dummies tracked you,
and you need not deny it." she said
Mr.. Possum did not try to deny it,
for what was the use? He was all GOV.
cred with the white stuff. But he did
try to tell Mr.. and Mrs. Rabbit that It
was all an accident, that he was just
running along the limb and off It broke
and he happened to fall into the white
wash. ,ts.
Mrs. Postum had found out 1t was
her husband by this time, Of course,
and. she came out to say that what
Mrs. Rabbit could think they wanted
Of her whitewash was more than she
could tell.
e Mrs. Rabbit wiggled her nose and
looked very wise. "Well," she said,
III that IL true. Mr.. Postum. that It
was all an accident, why, Of course,
that is all there Is to II, but you must
admit that It did look suspicious"
Mr.. Postum admitted that It did and
of ran the Rabbit family for home,
but It was q long time before Mr..
Possum could 60 abroad again, for the
white coat he wore was to be plainly
seen in the daytime or at night.

INQUISITIVE POSTUM.

TT WAS Mr.. Owl who gave the wood
folk the warning by calling out one
night, ITO whom 1t may concern u
At least the wood people knew that
was what he meant but anybody else
might have thought he just cried, ITO
WHO'D, to whoo!"
So when all the animals both great
and small had gathered around his
tree he told them that in his opinion
1t was to be very, very hard winter.
That, Of course, meant that they
must begin right away to lay up
stores for the cold, sEowed-in days,
and everyone bestirred himself at once
to do this.
Even Mrs. Rabbit, who seldom made
much preparation for the winter days,
began to do up preserves, all the small
Dummies were sent out with their bas-
kets to gather corn and beans and
beet tops and all sorts of good things.
If we cannot get them green" said
Mrs. Rabbit to her neighbor, Mrs.

Tourists Park is

Practically every town in eastern
Idaho has established free camps for
auto tourists. These have been of
great help to the tourists passing
thru our state and have been greatly
appreciated by them. There has
been much benefit accrue to the vari-
Gus towns thru having these travel
ers stop for time in them. In that
connection, the following figures
compiled by the commercial club of
Chillicothe, Mo-, a town Of 6,772
people, are interesting. The report
OF the club says:
"The committee found that the
tourists park, which was established
there last year, had proved one of
the towns best investments.
"Out of 1880 tourists who passed
thru the town during the season,
314O stopped to take advantages Of
fered by the park. They spent $751;
696.4O in Chillicothe, most of which
would have gone elsewhere had the
park not been provided, the authori-
