had started. At first Janice was
filled with a great joy. The night was
bright moonlight and the air filled
with the sound Of merry laughter.
Then suddenly George gave one of
his horses a cruel lash with the
whip. The poor creature began a
wild racing, and in endeavoring to
guide him George was thrown out of
the sleigh.
Janice, knowing the valuable
horses would probably be killed,
seized the reins and, although great
lX terrified, she drove with a firm
grasp.
And in few moments the horses
had turned in the wide lane leading
to the Smiths home.
Then Georges father went in
search of him, and found him bruised
and famed, but wiser boy.
Janice confessed what she had
done just as soon as she returned
home, but promised never to deceive
anyone again.

A NARROW ESCAPE

THE roads out in the country
where Janice Morris lived
fairly cleaned glistening
white after heavy fall of snow.
At the noon hour, George Smith,
who was the tallest and oldest boy,
was busy going around among the
boys and girls asking them to at
tend sleighing party he was getting
up for the next evening, which was
Friday; consequently, no lessons to
study.
"I'd rather have someone expert
enced do the driving every boy
said, but George Smith, who was an
over-indulged boy, and consequently
often very unruly said: Il didn't ask
Dad over the telephone, May I please
have our sleigh tomorrow evening?
I just said: is that you Daddie? Don't
promise to take anyone sleigh riding
tomorrow night, because I want to
take some of my school friends for a
ride Then hung up the phone"
"And are you sure you can have
the sleigh?" asked Janice in tones of
surprise and great admiration. "You
didn't wait for your Dad to say yes"
I'm sure I'll be allowed to have
it." answered George, with an assur-
ing smile, land, Janice, want you
to ride in my sleigh and sit beside me
on the front seat. will you go?"
Janice was just going to say: "I'll
ask Mother as soon as l reach home
this afternoon; our telephone is out
of order or I'd ask her now" But
she adopted Georges manner of talk
ing, and said with flushed cheeks: 81
accept your Invitation with great
pleasure. But, oh, how her con-
science bothered her all afternoon.
She had heard her father say just
week before the snow storm: 81
met George Smith out on the turn
pike today and he certainly is very
reckless driver. All he seems to
think about is how fast he can make
that fine brown horse of his fathers
gallop. 1t is a shame. 1 never
ease her conscience. Il guess they
won't allow George to drive reckless
ly." But she had heard every one

"Nor am l." Greedy Griselda hast

"How foolish" said Pussy Black
Toes, when you have plenty of cal

Griselda, running off to get her lit
basket, and when she came back Sd
set off with Pussy Black-Toes for th
Bungalow Garden. Then when the
came to the Bungalow Garden Puss
Black-Toes, who was a wise littl
kitten, filled her basket brimful c
catnip without delay. But Greed
Griselda said she would eat some frs
and she ate so much that she coul

Just then Big Fierce Dog returned
and Greedy Griselda ran up tree.
Il know why you want the catni

very, very, very fercely. "Becaus
you are greedy. and I have no use 70
greedy folks. AS a matter of fact

At that Greedy Griselda began t
cry, and she implored Big Fierce DO.
if he would not shake her to bits sh'
would promise never to be greedy
again as long as she lived. Bi
Fierce Dog put his paw up to his
chin and pondered for a moment
Then he said: every well. This time
1 won't shake you to bits. But il
ever hear of you being greedy
well-look out for mel"
And without further ado Big Fierce
Dog trotted off, and Griselda climbed
down the tree and ran home in a
hurry. After that nobody was oblig-
ed to call her Greedy Griselda.

One can now buy game called the

picture of a cherry tree is pinned to
a sheet which is hung on the wall. A
large nick is seen in the trunk of the
tree. Each player is provided with a
small paper Ratchet. He is then
b1indfolded and turned around three
times, then told to pin the Ratchet in
the nick of the tree trunk. A prize
is given to the one who pins it near

HARRISON HAS PLANS
FOR SUMMER THEATRE

With the first call for the pro-
posed summer opera sounded by o.
Gordon Erickson, music director, for
Thursday night and the announce
ment Saturday by w. l.. Harrison,
commissioner of public utilities, that
he will submit plans for the erection
of the theatre to the city commits
sioners during the week. 1t appears
that Birmingham will receive some
thing that has been widely talked
about-an open air theatre and sum-
mer opera.
The building inspectors depart
ment has submitted plans to Com
missioner Harrison for the erection
of the theatre in Woodrow Wilson
park to have seating capacity of
$500. Adequate measures have been
taken by the drawings for an in
crease in the capacity by moving the
inclosing fence back, leaving space
which could be used with collapsible
chairs, bringing the total capacity
of the theatre to at least $500 peo-
pie. This arrangement was made in
case of band concerts, public speak
ings and other entertainments that
would draw possibly larger crowds
than the opera.
The chorus for the operas will be
chosen at the meeting which Will be
held Thursday night at O'Clock at
Clark & Jones'. Mr.. Erickson stated
that all interested should be present,
as final selections would be made.
1t was estimated that the cost of
the building would be around $4,000,
which would be borne by the city.
A nominal charge will be made for
the operas, it was understood, this
being necessary for defraying the
eXpenseS
