Exams Coming And Children
 Need Aid
By EMfLIE HOFFMAN

IF YOU have been carefully following the progress of your child in school
 you can now quite well judge what the chances are for passing the exam nations. Even if your only guide is the reports you have regularly signed during the term, you can now tell in what subjects the child is weak.
 If you have not had the time to give assistance from the start you can, at least, do your utmost now to save the child from the ignominy of "flunking' in the finals. It will mean so much to your son or daughter. If they are young children you may think another. year in the same grade will not mat ter and that this will impress the work more thoroughly, but when the child gets into the teens the year lost now may mean much. At the end of the high school course or college career it means one years loss of self-support.
 A good tutor can accomplish much with child. Possibly the teacher could be induced to act in this ca- pacity, which would be an advantage. Tutoring is exceedingly helpful in that it gives the individual attention that makes clear, many a puzzling point in the textbook The better understanding arouses the interest of the pupil and the personal tutoring is an incentive to study, all of which lie along helpful lines.

 The nice wooden hobby horse was right; it only took him three minutes to run to the cookie field and it was the largest one the Raggedys had eyer seen. All the cookies grew upon short cookies were much larger.
 And as they were discovered with icing of different flavors and colors the cookie field was a very pretty sight.

The Raggedys and Berty Bear and little Rags puppy dog hardly waited for the magical hobby horse to stop before they jumped from his back and began eating the cookies.

Raggedy Ann replied and because the hobby horse only had a little bit of q mouth where Raggedy Andy had pried little knot out of his face Raggedy Ann broke cookies into small pieces and stuffed them into the hobby horses's mouth for him.

 "It happened to you!" faltered Mrs. Pingle, catching at that clause of her callers explanation. Did you ever live here?"
 "Mr. Baird built the house for me it was his idea of brides cottage and I had to live in it for few years to show my appreciation of his gift. But after I had my third picture blue ribboned at the art exhibitions Mir. Baird agreed that needn't have the burden of this big house any longer. Of course, I'll always keep it, but we'll stay in our little house, with every modern convienience that will save work. And we're so happy just by our selves, free from the tyranny of ser wants.

There had been A time when the rent for such place would have been prohibitive to Sam Pingle's income, but for him the war had not been an unmitigated evil. Now they could afford the rent and also "hired girl"-Minnie Pingle' s long cherished desire. Mrs. Pingle s round, flat face grew redder, her green ish pop-eyes greener and pOppier, and her flat, high-corseted figure seemed perceptibly to swell as she contemplated the triumph she could Haunt in the eyes of old and less fortunate acquaint- ances.
 For a time she was so busy gloat- ing over her prestige as tenant oi the grandest house in Oglesby that she quite disregarded the little moss green house with white shutters next door. When she did find time to re gard it she did so with something of scorn and much of patronage.

fright as had been in the eyes of Chat terer when he fell from the tree. At last Old Mir. Toad had to stop for breath. He crawled under a piece of board. "As live that was MT. Black snake" he gasped.
 He was right, was Old Mir. Toad. Chatterer was not the only one who had taken it into his head that some fresh eggs would taste good that day. Mir. Blacksnake knew just as well as did Chatterer that it was high time that Winsome Bluebird should have set up housekeeping. Being very good tree climber, he had decided that he would have look in some of the holes in the trees of the Old Orchard. If he found some eggs well and good, and if he found the owners of the eggs at home so much the better. He had had no sue cess, and when he reached the big hollow which had been the home of Drummer the Woodpecker he had curled up in it for nap, for he was tired. He had walked at the sound of Chat terer's claws as he climbed the tree and when Chatterer had poked his head in at the doorway he had almost poked it into the mouth of Mir. Blacksnake. Do you wonder that Chatterer had tumbled out of the tree?
 Once he had reached the stone wall Chatterer had hurried home, Some. how he didn't want eggs. The very thought of eggs gave him a sick, shivery feeling. He had no desire to explore any more holes in the trees of the Old Or. chard. He was perfectly content with other food, of which he had plenty The very thought of eggs made him shudder and gave him creepy feeling As for Mir. Blacksnake, he once more curled up for a nap and chuckled as he thought of the fright he had giver Chatterer the Red Squirrel. To hin it had been very, very funny.

TWEEN Chatterer the Rcd squirrel


 WV thrust his head in the Mole in
 the old apple tree in the Old Orchard without first making sure that it was a safe thing to do, he received one of the very worst surprises of his whole life. Yes, sir, he did. It isn't often that Chatterer is really badly frightened, but he was this time. He was so frightened that he screeched as he pulled his head back out of that hole and at the same time he quite for got that he was up in tree and treid to jump backward. The result was that Chatterer fell in the most undignified way. He fell from that old apple tree to the ground, and the instant he touch- ed the ground he raced for the old stone wall as fast as his legs could carry him. I
 His fall from the tree hurt him not at all unless it was in his dignity, and at the time he was too frightened to think of this. He had just one thought and that was to get away as soon as possible. From the doorway of Drum mer the woodpecker's old home, which was the doorway in which Chatterer had so carelessly thrust his head, an- other head was now thrust out. 1t was a Hat, SmO0Lu UldCA ucuu anu AiOAt eAO mouth slender, forked tongue kept darting out and in. Two sharp eyes which never winked nor blinked watch ed Chatterer and if ever there is laugh ter in eyes it was in those.
 Old Mir. Toad happened to be under that old apple tree and Chatterer very nearly fell on him. It gave him such start that he lost his temper for just minute. He opened his mouth to tell Chatterer his opinion of him, but be- fore he could find his voice Chatterer was too far away to hear him. Then Old Mir. Toad glanced up to see what had frightened Chatterer so. When he saw that black head thrust out from | the old home of Drummer the Wood becker he seemed to just shrink up. His big pop-eyes popped out more than ever. He fIattened himself down close to the ground and held his breath. He knew now why Chatterer had fallen from the tree and then run with all his might. He wished with a mighty wish that he could run as fast as Caterer can.
 Presently that black head disappeared back inside the hollow in the tree. Old Mir. Toad waited few minutes. Then with his eyes rolled up at the hole where the head had been, he stole softly bacl of the tree. Once sure that he couldn'i be seen from that hole, he began to hoI for all he was worth, and those hopi would have been a credit to Grand father Frog.
