struck the ground and rolled some
more until he went splash in the
muddy pond at the foot of The hill.
Mr.. Bear awoke. for Mr.. Fox made a
terrible racket on the roof trying to
save himself. But before Mr.. Bear
could get to the window he heard
some scrambling on the roof and a
bang on the ground and then all was
still.
He hurried to the window and
looked out, and in the moonlight he
saw at the foot of the hill two muddy
objects swinging their paws about in
a very angry manner. He could not
make out who they were at first. but
after while Mr.. Bear saw II was Mr.
Fox and Mr.. 'Possum.
Mr.. PosSum had been the one who
had visited Mr.. Bears house so often
and one night he had met Mr.. Fox
just as he was coming away with a
basketful of pies and cakes. "There
is plenty MORE" he told Mr.. Fox. you
meet me tomorrow night and / will
show you how to get in"
But Mr.. Fox did not care to be
shown; he wanted to get there first
and take his pick of things, and he did
arrive first, so by the time Mr.. 'Possum
rolled off the roof and landed in the
pond Mr.. Fox was just coming out of
the muddy water.
Mr.. 'Possum could not stop to be
polite; he was rolling fast; and he
gave Mr.. Fox bump, and back they
both fell into the muddy pond.
"What do you mean by knocking me
over" inquired Mr.. Fox angrily as he
shook himself.
"What do you mean by pnlling me
into that muddy water?" asked Mr..
'Possum as he crawled up the bank,
and just as Mr.. Bear looked out Of
his window they began to quarrel.
"Ah, two of them" said Mr.. Bear.

THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
PHOTOGRAPHS

A CHEAP, second-rate photograph
"A proclaims itself of course by it's
finish and mounting, but just as much
by the manner in which the subject Is
posed. If you are going to have your
picture taken don't let a photographer
make the picture look second-rate by
posing you in the wrong way.
Have you ever looked in the ph0tOg.
rapher's window to see the poses OF
the young brides and grooms? One ia
vorite pose shows the embarrassed
bridegroom sitting stiffiy in the pho
tographer's posing chair, with the
Whitehead bride standing squarely be-
side him, one arm and hand placed
definitely across his shoulders.
Now this is a most un-American
pose, for the well-bred American male
should never permit himself to occupy
single chair to the exclusion of a
woman.
In a large family group mistakes
in grouping are often made, but in gen.
eral you should follow the same rule
in the seating that you would in real
life. Men and children should never
be seated to the exclusion of women.

"The Covered Wagon"
OF Local Interest

American history and world his
tory is replete with striking evil
dence Of u gallantry and heroism
In conflict; whenever called upon
to bear the brunt of battle and make
the sacrifice for the betterment Of
ideals and humanity in general, the
United States, as a people, has never
been lacking Or found wanting. But
a greater side Of our life-the strug-
gle Of a nation within itself-has
been sung but little. It remained
for the late Emerson Hough to i'm
mortalize this feature of American
advancement and development and
he did SO in the master story, "The
Covered Wagon" But the master
pen of Hough has been driven to
greater heights of ~enthralling ap-
peal in the marvellous motion pic
ture that has been made from his
great story. The mighty. superior
screen version Of THE Covered
Wagon" will be seen at the Strand
Theatre for one day only, matinee
and night show, Friday Dec. 81,
Having lei d ourselves
against foreign aggression and even
before there was waged the might
lest struggle in history struggle
that this nation dedicated to liberty
and the equality Of mankind might
last and be preserved-there occur
red the most striking struggle in
our history and among the histories
OF all people OF all times. The call
for interior development and ex-
pansion came and was answered in
the closing forties. What a glorious
movement that was, and the manner
in which it was effected with man,
woman, boy and girl sharing equal
and alike the pain and the brad
ship was never shown before Hough
made his pen picture. Now the
motion picture has made it all the
more vivid and Americans have
something Of which they can truly
feel proud.
