JEALOUS NOVEMBER.

October. in all his beauty. had quite
forgotten that his brother, chill Novem-
Der. always grumbled that October
robbed him each year of his birthright.
October was so loved by the trees
and birds and running streams and
they teased hun so to stay that each
year that he fingered until November
became quite jealous Of him.
But one year, because he stayed too
long, November became so angry that
he did terrible thing for revenge.
Octobers sunny smile had been 50
warm and bright and he stayed so

tina, they had 10 sleep 10 be ready for
the next years work. They danced
and sang in the sunshine and the soft
| breezes whispered that perhaps cold
winter would not come that year.
Chill November, with his dreary look,
was quite forgotten by them all.
But November had not forgotten his
rights and when he found that no one
wanted him he decided TO teach them
all lesson.
so he ran back toward his chilly
! home and found his brother Decem-
Der. who had a chest full OF snow to
scatter about for the Christmas days
just to make things look pretty.
OF course, December was sleeping
for il was long time before he would
have TO get up, and Chill November
crept in and carried off the snow.
Then one night when the trees were

with the warm October DAYS were alseeI
