MISTRESS SPRING WAKES ALL
THE SLEEPERS

I'll 0EEEFERS
Wake up, wake up, you drowsy
heads!
Wake up. wake up. and leave your
beds!
The gladdest time Of all the year
Has come, for Mistress Spring is
here!
Cheerful Robin was singing 1t up
in the old Orchard. Little Friend the
Song Sparrow was singing it down
along the edge of the Laughing
Brook. Winsome Bluebird was
whistling it from the top OF the Big
Hickory over by the Smiling Pool
Blacky the Crow was cawing it from
a fence-post on the edge of Farmer
Browns cornfield. Danny Meadow
Mouse was shouting 1t in a funny
little squealSy voice down on the
Green meadows. Even Sammy Jay
was screaming it through the Green
Forest. And over in the dear Old
Briar Patch. Peter Rabbit was say
ing it over and over to himself as
he thumped and thumped for pure
joy.
1t was true. Sweet. beautiful Mis-
tress. Spring had arrived. Cheerful
Robin and Little Friend had come
with her and so had Honker the
Wild Goose. 1t was his voice COM
ing down from high, high up in the
blue. blue sky that had told the glad
news He hasn't sweet voice. oh,
my no, The voice of Honker is any
thing but sweet. And yet it is good,
wonderfully good to hear after the
long, cold days Of winter. for every
one knows when they hear it that
Mistress Spring has arrived. You see,
long. long ago Mistress Spring went
to Old Mother Nature and asked her
for a trumpeter, some one whose
voice was strong, to travel up from
the far away south with her and tell
all the world of her coming, and
Honker the Goose was chosen be-
cause his wings are strong and he
flies high, and because his voice is
strong. and the sound of it carries
far. And from that day to this when
the voice of Honker the Goose is
heard every one knows that Mistress
Spring has arrived.
Now, Mistress Spring wastes no
time, for she has a great Geal to do.

sat Johnny on his doorstep taking a
sun bath. He looked very thin, not
at all as he had looked when Peter
last saw him. He grinned at Peter
and stretched to get the kinks out of
his legs, and the first things he
asked was if Peter knew where there
was any tender young clover But
Peter didn't because. YOU know, the
clover had only just begun to wake
up and hadn't had time to grow. But
he knew where there was some last
years clover that had kept green un-
der the snow. and Johnny said that
that would do, because he was so
hungry that he could eat almost any
thing.
While they We're talking merry
little voice shouted from the stone
wall. There sat Striped Chipmunk
and he looked as pert and smart and
saucy as ever. He wasn't thin like
Johnny Chuck. You see he had filled
his storehouse, which opens right out
of his bedroom, with plenty of good
things in the fall, and he had walked
up in the winter often enough to eat
what he needed and now had plenty
left over.
"Are you glad Mistress Spring has

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your
hair looking it's best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use
is Mulsified cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and grease
less), and is better than any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonsful of
Mulsified Will cleanse the hair
and scalp thoroughly. Simply
inoisten the hair with water and
rub it in. it makes an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every
particle Of dust, dirt, danGruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky. bright. lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy. it's
very cheap, and a few ounces
will supply every member of the
family for months. Be sure your
druggist gives YOU Mulsified.

just as Sam wheeled his invalid chair
to the doorway.

Little Stories For Bedtime
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

and the very first thing is TO waken
all the sleepers whom gentle Sister
South Wind has not already wakened.
Peter Rabbit never could understand
how she does it because there are so
many sleepers, little people who wear
fur, little people who wear neither
fur nor feathers. but whom we call
bugs, and all the little and big
plants. There are so many. many of
them who sleep all winter long that
1t has always seemed to Peter as if
Mistress Spring must miss some of
them. But she never does.
So now that Mistress Spring really
had arrived Peter was too happy to
sit still. He just had TO hurry around
and greet his friends as fast as they
walked. Bobby Coon and Unc' Billy
Possum had crawled out of their hol-
low trees just after Winsome Blue
bird arrived. Now Peter felt sure his
old friend Johnny Chuck would be
crawling out and he hurried UP to
the corner of the Old Orchard where
Johnny's house is. Sure enough. there

Is all we can do to get that together.
There are six of us to feed and clothe,

to Sam. 1T may be a long time be-

Not word of complaint that this
might be so; just the fear that her
mother was banking on something
that never would materialize.
But her father disappointed her.
Optimistic in spite of all they had
experienced, he was sure that with a
little ready money to lift their wor-
ries, and perhaps to be used in some
little business, he could soon rehabil-
itate the family fortunes.
You mean, dad, that you are in
favor of selling the house, of pay

the interest? Remember, folks have

| Virtue isn't always its own reward:

ANSWER; The fact that if you
| had your life to live over, you would
probably repeat your past experience
Students of human behavior con-
slider this to be true. The idea, at
least. provides an interesting topic
for thought and discussion.
For consolation, remember that
when you are 40. if still unwed. you
will perceive that life strikes fairly
even balance of happiness between
spinsters and wives. The spinsteT
at 40 has missed some joys but also
she has escaped many anNieties and
griefs.
The main trouble with this young
girls reasoning is. after all, COM
mon error
BE good and you'n be happy"
say the smilers and cnmforters.
That is true in limited way. But
many people reason that if the are
good, they ought to be rich or if
rich, they must necessarily be vir-
tuous; or if virtuous they surely are
entitled TO find their soul-mate and
live happily ever afteri
This mistaken reasoning is as
tragic as it is common.
We do not get spiritual reward
for a material effort.
And we do not acquire an emo
