Mr.. DOG GETS REVENGE.

No one could really blame Mr.
Dog for the way he felt, because Billy
Goat did very rude thing. In the
first place, II was very upsetting TO the
dignity of Mr.. Dog and in other ways as
we'll.
Billy Goat had just come TO the farm
TO live and Mr.. Dog, not knowing any
thing about goat manners, thought he
would be friendly with the newcomer.
So one day he walked into the barn
where Billy Goat happened to be just
y, that moment and went up 10 him
with sharp bark of welcome.
But Billy Goat never took any
chances and the bark did not mean
anything to him but bark, and he
didn't like il. So, just as Mr.. Dog came
up 10 him, Billy lowered his head and
Mr.. Dog thinking Billy wso playful
bcgan 10 dance and bark louder.
Billy Goat danced, too, and he

that This was the time for him to get
revenge for the rude manner in which
Billy Goat had received his friendly
greetings when he first came to the
farm.
Il know where there is a fine tin
cam said Mr.. Dog to Billy Goat. But
YOU will have to hurry, because ! saw
the farmers boy picking up all the
cans behind the barn this morning.
Billy Goat trotted right around the
harm after Mr.. Dog. There it is, said
Mr.. Dog, showing Billy the can. But
he was careful to keep away from 1t.
for Mr.. Dog knew that it was about
time for the slow match which was in
side the can with the crackers to set
them of and he wished to he at a safe
distance when the firing took place
Billy Goat made a dash for the can.
His nose was right on ii when of
went the tirccrackers bangty hang
bang! hang,
Billy Goat jumped Then he shook
his head. He capered about on his
J four legs like a prancing horse, while
the hens and ducks who had run to a
place of safety when the firing began
peeked out at him in wonder and sur
| prise.
Hes crazy" clucked old White Hen.
Hes doing fancy dance quacked
old Nine Duck.
Mr.. Dog, who had rolled over and
over. laughing at the funny sight, got
ND and shook himself. He is scared
nearly out OF his goat senses, he said
That is what is the matter with Billy
I Goat
That was pretty peppery tin can
wasn't it, Billv??" called Mr.. Dog, as he
trotted off TO his house But Billy Goat
was coming on the run with lowered
head and Mr.. Dog decided t was time

And this was the reason that Mr.
Dog watched his chance to get eV en-
with Billy Goat. And no one could

For Thin Waists
and Sleeveless Gowns
Toilet TIPS }

CTollet Tips
A safe, certain method for ridding the
skin of ugly, hairy growths is as fol-
lows: Mix paste with some powdered
delatone and water, apply to hairy
surface about 2 minutes, then rub off,
wash the skin and the hairs are gone.
This is entirely harmless and seldom
requires repeating but to avoid disap-
pointment it is advisable to see that
you get genuine delatone. Mix fresh
as wanted.
