Unc' Billy Possum.
Up the long lane from the cornfield
Farmer Browns boy trudged in the
moonlight. He whistled merrily. In
one hand he carried Unc' Billy Possum
by his tail. Now and then he held
Unc' Billy up to look at him. Every
time he did this he chuckled aloud.
Now Unc' Billy appeared to be dead.
He was very dead looking. His eyes
were closed, his mouth half open and
his legs stiff. There are boys and
men who love to hunt who would
have chuckled just as Farmer
Browns boy did over dead Possum
But Farmer Browns boy wasn't
chuckling over dead Possum. He
was chuckling because he knew that
Unc' Billy was just as much alive
as ever he had been. Had Unc' Billy
really been dead Farmer Browns boy
wouldn't have chuckled at all. He would
have been very sad. AS it was, he
was greatly tickled. 1t tickled him
to see how cleverly Unc' Billy was
pretending to be dead.
1.-The old rascal thinks he's fooling
me, while all the time I'm fooling
him." chuckled Farmer Browns Boy.
He thinks / think he's dead. I'll let
him keep right on thinking SO. When
L get home I'll make some kind of
pen and put the old rascal in it.
I'll keep him there for while to
keep him out of mischief"
But if Farmer Browns Boy wasn't
fooled, Bowser the Hound was.
Bowser trotted along at the heels of
his master. Now and then he reach
ed up and shifted al Unc' Billy. Bow
ser was very well pleased. They had

what had happened to Unc' Billy
Possum. He had expected to catch
him and kill him himself, but when
he had caught up with him, Unc'
Billy appeared to have been killed
already.
Up the Long Lane to the barnyard
went Farmer Browns Boy and Bow
ser the Hound and Unc' Billy Pos

Unc' Billy out on the ground in the

him.

Just why he should watch that dead
Possum he didn't understand. But it
was enough for him to be told to
watch it. So he sat down close to
Unc' Billy. He felt a wee bit i'm
portant. He always feels a wee bit
important when he has been trusted
to watch something.

BY HELEN KENDALL,

The pretty window boxes on a GER

all Summer long. Gay with pink ge-
raniums. blue ageratum and fringed
petunias, with long sprays of deco
rative vines hanging down over each
box, they had given the cottage a
festive air that attracted every pass

over having to give them up.

with its sprays trailing up each side
of the window, it will give your
room a feeling of Summer charm. In
some houses, blooming plants do not
do well on account of the heated air
and the gas from the furnace; but
vines will nearly always grow, and
an occasional growing plant, such as
the primrose, may be bought at the
florists and placed among the vines,
where it will live its little life quite
contentedly."

The entire back field of the Indi-

liancy of end runs, line smashes and
an offensive attack that would please
the demands Of any coach. And it
should be said that the back field
was strongly upheld by a fast, heavy,

Wolfe and Jackson led in the add

Captain Anderson Of the Colonies
earned the plaudits of the crowd
with his continual efforts to bolster
his team. The size Of the defeat
came as a surprise to local fans due
to the close game between the Gold

Purdue Delivers

Purdue triumphed over North
western, Z TO 8, with a belated rush
which scored a touchdown after the
Purple had gone into the lead with
a place kick by Baker. the sopho-
more star. The two teams battled
for three quarters without scoring.
Bahr started the Boiler Makers
to victory by the unorthodox stunt
Of picking up a KICKOFF behind his
own goal line and running the ball
back into the field. Northwestern
players were so astonished they
watched him run, and he never
stopped until he had placed the ball
on the Purple forty-yard line.
Then the Lafayette outfit opened
up an aerial attack which finally
resulted in a touchdown when Taube
hurled a pass TO Bahr on the fourth
down. Harmeson kicked the extra
point.
Butler fought hard against the
heavy Centenary team at Irwin
Field. but could not do a great deal
with the husky Dixie eleven and lost
after 4 game battle, 9 TO Z. In the
final period the locals had their
golden opportunity to snatch
victory when Griggs tried 4 place
ment directly in front OF the goal
pests from the twenty-two-yard line.
It went slightly wide.
Griggs Catches Passes
Griggs with a long run and then
on the receiving end OF two passes
put the ball on the Centenary five
yard line Just as the first quarter
ended. Woods made first down on
the Centenary three-yard line. An
off-side penalty put the ball on the
Cre-yard line. Paul plunged over
and Griggs kicked goal.
Centenary's touchdown was the
result Of a thirty-yard end run by
Farrell. The 2-point margin Of vic
tory was the result of a safety when
a punt was blocked by Captain
Weaver of the visitors and Nipper
fell on the ball behind his own goal
TO save a touchdown. Griggs, Paul
and Reichel were the Butler stars.
Indiana U. was bitter disappoint-
ment at Chicago to the followers of
the Crimson. The Maroons romped
to an easy victory. % to O.. Harry
Thomas was the chief despoiler of
the I. L. Hopes. The Chicago line
men so far outplayed the Indiana
forwards that all Of the Maroon
backs advanced the ball consistently.
