hole and the Mouse she hoped would
pop out of it.
Occasionally she blinked her yell
low eyes, closing and opening them
rather slowly. Sitting so still for
so long, she had grown just a wee
bit sleepy. So at last she kept her
eyes closed for two or three seconds.
When she opened them she could
hardly believe what she saw. There
was that Mouse she had waited for
SO patiently! His head was out of
that little hole in the snow! All the
sleep left Black Pussy's yellow
eyes. She set herself to spring, and
waited for that little Mouse to come
fully out. 1t seemed to her that he
never would move. He just sat
there and sat there and sat there
with his head out. He seemed to
be trying to make up his mind
whether or not to come wholly out.
At last he made up his mind that
all was safe, and out he came. He
didn't stop to sit down and look
around. He came out Of that hole
and started as fast as his short
legs could take him straight across
toward another tree beside which he
had another hole of which Black
Pussy knew nothing. At last Black
Pussy's patience was rewarded. Now
was her chance!

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

are there to be loaded and thus free
ly distribute the stuff wherever a
demand exists. I want to ask right
in this place, why does not the Unit
ed States government seize these
manufactures by the strong arm of
the law and prevent the making as
well as the sale? Not a week ago
was appealed to by high authority to
make these indisputable facts known
to the plain people Of this country
and thus arrest and awaken public
opinion here in our state, SO far as it
will reach the thinking people among
us, in the newspapers. I can do
nothing but beg them to investigate
for themselves. I have but little
doubt, that the Georgia state prison
has also been packed full by those
who committed offenses under the
influence OF booze and narcotic
drugs. Twenty years ago visited
this insane asylum and there were
several people there that, I had
known in their better days; sent
there by their own people after they
were "off their base" in mind. L did
not for one moment expect to find
them there. They We're doubtless
troublesome after they became adj

sufferers have died there. away from
family and friends. We are spending
millions of dollars building fine
churches and school houses, where
money could be saved, and we have
not now a single place in Georgia
where such helpless and poverty
stricken people can be guarded and
kept from narcotic drugs until they
quit the habit or die out OF their
misery.
The picture imprinted on my mind
of railroadlng the poor addicts to
Leavenworth prison at enormous
cost and carriage, and depositing
them in barred cells, where none of
their own folks can reach them in
sickness and in death and OF being
made criminals when they are only
hurting themselves, is something
dreadful to consider.
There is inhumanity in excess and
Georgia should see to it that some
spot can be found and some shelter
provided and some sort of confine-
ment established for these wretched
drug fiends which does not force
them to endure the legal punishment
legally inflicted on murderers, bur-
glars and other base crimes, and
where they at least can die in peace.

Black Pussy's Patience Is Rewarded
Reward of patience may be late,
But it is quite as sure as fate.
Black Pussy.

l.
Reward of patience may be late,
But it is quite as sure as fate.
Black Pussy.
Black Pussy is not easily discour-
aged. Day after day she went over
to the Old Orchard and watched a
certain hole in the snow close to
the trunk of a tree, hole that had
been made by a Mouse. 1t was fun
for Black Pussy. Yes, sir, it was
fun. You or I would have grown
tired of such unrewarded patience.
But each time as she sat there
watching Black Pussy tingled all
over with the hope that at any mo-
ment Mouse might pop out of that
hole. Once in a while she prowled
around in other parts Of the Old
Orchard. But for the most part
she spent her time watching that
particular hole.
Now that hole had been made by
a young Meadow Mouse. He was
one of the children of Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse, and when
he had left home to make his own
way in the Great World he had
gone straight up to the Old Orchard.
There he had been living very COM
fortably. Just as down on the
Green Meadows Danny and Nanny
Meadows Mouse had many little
tunnels under the snow, so this
young Meadow Mouse had many
tunnels under the snow in the Old
Orchard. This particular hole was
one of several he had made to
reach the surface. He didn't come
out often, and when he did come
out it was mostly at night. He felt
safer at night. There was no real
need for him to come out on the
surface at all, and when he did it
was in the spirit of adventure.
He often visited these various
holes and climbed up high enough
to poke the tip Of his nose out. In
this way he left the scent of Mouse
around those holes, and that is how
| Black Pussy knew that Mouse
lived down somewhere below that
particular hole. That is how she
knew it was not a deserted hole. 1t
was that smell of Mouse which she
could always get around that hole
which kept her coming day after
day.
1t was almost dusk one afternoon
when Black Pussy settled herself to
watch that hole. It had been a
dull, dark day anyway, and Spooky
the Screech Owl had been sitting in
his doorway some time before Black
Pussy arrived. OF course, he saw
her the instant she appeared, and
as usual he snapped his bill angrily.
He was only short distance from
Black Pussy, and it is a wonder
that she didn't hear him snap his
bill. But she didn't, She had ears
and eyes and thought only for that

in my own mind whether a widower
with eight children could make me
happier or whether I had better

know right away that I absolutely

hold on to the job, the sixty, and
my blessed independence.

Dorothy:
Yes, see any number Of the jack.

though. you will be wise either to
try on a ready made one or make
one of inexpensive material before
cutting into your printed crepe. The
girl at the blouse counter in one
of our shops insisted that that was
just what I wanted. / tried on one,
walked proudly to mirror, scut-
tied back quickly to the place where
my old tried and true over blouse
hung, put that on and sorrowfully
returned the jacket blouse, her sur
prised look when she saw it on me

D:
Don't be too quick to believe ru-
NOR, and do have courage to ask If
a friend has made a remark before
you believe something disagreeable
You know yourself how things get
twisted. When you were child
you surely must have played "gos.
SIP" where you start the. game by
telling something to a child at the
head of the line; it is then whisper
ed, just as it is repeated to the next
child until it has gone all the way
down the line, when the last child
repeats it out loud, it hasn't the
slightest resemblance to what was
told by the first child. Friendship
is a precious thing; don't give it up
lightly.

 A good preliminary bill has bee arranged which will feature Battlin Spark Plug. Tom Lacey and Big Boy Edwards. Probably a negro battle royal will also be staged
