And the lollypop tree will be waiting
Heigh diddle, diddledy, OH"
"Bow- wow" went the Yellow Dog
Tramp and "Pop!" went the little
rabbits popgun, and then they all
gave three cheers. Why 1t sounded
almost like the Fourth Of July.
All of a sudden, an old adder. a
kind of deaf and dumb snake, you
know, came out of his hole and said:
Goodness me! ] hear something
for the first time in forty years."
and. holding the tip Of his tail be-
hind his left ear. he listened again.
Hello, Mr.. Adder. How do you
do?" shouted Little Jack Rabbit.
well, 1 declare" said Old Mr.. Ad-
Ger, lazily looking over his spectacles
for he was still very sleepy after his
long winters nap. Then. crawling UP
the front wheel tire and into the
Luckymobile, he sat down on the
back seat with the Yellow Dog
Tramp.
II suppose he wants a ride" whis-
pered Uncle Lucky to his little
nephew, and honking the horn, the
cid gentleman rabbit started the
Luckymobile off again. After maybe
mile he turned to the old snake and
said:
How many miles have we trav-
eled? Did you count the mileposts?
If you did. add them up. You ought
to be good adder"
l imagine the old gentleman rabbit
thought he had made a splendid joke.
Twenty three miles and fifteen feet,
And maybe an inch or two.
For once l looked back and sort OF
lost track
OF milepost, so swiftly we few.
One might make a slip when we go
at clip
That is breaking all records you
know.
If you must know the score, turn
back and once more,
I'll count them without miscue."
And next time I'll tell you whether
Uncle Lucky turned around or
whether he kept right on till he
broke the speed limit in fourteen
different pieces.

guess If the old gentleman rabbit
hadn't recovered his old wedding
stovepipe hat in the last story, he
would have felt very unlucky, al
though he was usually very lucky. OF
course he was, for he was very rich.
and it's very lucky to be rich, SO I'm
told.
AS soon as he and Little Jack Rab-
bit and the Yellow Dog Tramp
reached the middle of the bridge. the
old gentleman rabbit honked the
horn and pretty soon they were safe
ON dry land again. But, dear me!
just then Billy Breeze almost blew off
Uncle Lucky's hat. Taking out his
blue silk polkadot handkerchief. and
tying it over his hat and under his
chin, the old gentleman rabbit shout
ed:
"If anyone tries to take my hat,
he'll have to take me, too.

"The Day Shall Declare 1t"

'Why should a living man COM
plain, a man, for the punishment of
his sins?''' This may be applied to
Mr.. Daugherty. Well for him, had he
believed and needed, some of the
axioms of life. "A man is known by
the company he keeps"
Evil associations corrupt good
morals" BIRDS of feather flock
together" These and other truthful
sayings, though DID, should he a
warning to all. The very fact Mr..
Daugherty was an intimate associate
of the Falls, Smiths, AcLeans and
others of like type marked him as
unfit for responsible government
position. THE triumph of the
wicked is short" THE day (age)
shall declare it, as it declares all
things in their season. There is a
time for all things" In the vege-
table, animal and mans natural
state, this is SO. The enemy of our
flesh has had his time, but "he know
eth his time is short" The A-ray
and other inventions are revealing
It's work in the flesh and the day for
disease germs. is drawing near its
close. In the light of the knowledge
of this new day. even though they
have been hidden from the eye or
man and ravaged the flesh, so long.
There is nothing hid but shall be
revealed" Remember God is re-
vealer Of the thoughts, and intents
of the heart" as well as of the evils
In the flesh. Believe it and you may
escape much sorrow.
1t Is no more impossible for God
TO bring to the light the thoughts and
intents Of the heart than 1t was for
him to bring to the light, the disease
germs in the flesh, through the aid
of the Xray and other wonders
These inventions and discoveries are
all of God. 20 vain man what hast
thou that thou didst not receive? If
thou didst receive 1t, why dost thou
boast?" 1.-THE day shall declare it." 1t
will also reveal that "the wisdom of
man is foolishness with God" as our
Congress and mans peace efforts are
proving. Gods promises will surely
be fulfilled and the day for the re-
vealing Of the secrets of men is not
far away.
Rejoice, o young man, in thy
youth and let thy heart cheer thee, in
the days OF thy youth and walk in

GOOD COMING OF IT

Some Of the onlookers quite a
while ago concluded the torrent of
partisan abuse INDUCED in by the
Democrats and Insurgents in the
national Congress should receive a
rebuke. Meanwhile people from
being disturbed and apprehensive
were becoming disguised. Investiga-
ton they wanted, but political bunk
they didn't want.
The rebuke is forthcoming. Sen
ator Reed Of Pennsylvania told the
Senate of what Secretary Mellon
went through before accepting the
position, how he got rid of prop
critics which the best legal advice
he could obtain told him he should
do to conform to the requirements of
the law. Reading this statement one
isn't surprised that Mr.. Mellon
hesitated quite a while before ac-
cepting the offer to go into President
Hardings cabinet. In the light of
the evidence Congress instead Of in
vestigating the secretary should be
passing a vote of thanks for the
public service he has rendered the
country in one Of the most trying
periods of it's existence, the service
of trained financier, a great bust
ness executive, a service that would
be beyond price to other than the
government.
The charges against him have
been fatty denied and have nothing
to support them, at least nothing
which has been made public or in
any likelihood exists.
Senator Wadsworth rebuked Sen
ator Dill for his attack on Colonel
Roosevelt. He showed that there
isn't any evidence even indicating
that he was influenced in his official
acts by unworthy motive or in
flucncc. The mere fact that Sinclair
found job for Archie at more pay
than he was worth ought to be no
excuse for trying to ruin the career
of brother against whom the fine
toothed comb of investigation has
failed to reveal a peccadillo.
This Investigation at Washington
may prove an excellent thing in sew
eral ways. Not only will affairs be
uncovered that need the light, not
only will public officials SO be re-
minded that there Is a God in Israel,
but demagogues frothing at the
