so long that she had gone crazy. Poor Granny! She was in her second child hood. Reddy could remember how he had done such things when he was very young just by way of showing how fine he felt. But for grown-up Fox to do such things was undignified to say the least. You know Reddy thinks a great deal of dignity. It was worse than un- dignified. It was positively disgraceful. He did hope that none of his neighbors would happen along and see Granny cut ting up so. He never would hear the end of it if they did.
 lover and over rolled Granny. and round and round she chased her tail. The snow flew up in a cloud. And all the time she made no sound. Reddy was just trying to decide whether to go off and leave her until she had regained her commonsense, or to go out and try to stop her, when he happened to look out in the open water where Quacker was. Quacker was sitting up as straight as he could. In fact, he had his wings raised to help him sit on his tail the bet ter to see what old Granny Fox was doing.
 "As live" muttered Reddy, T be- lieve that fellow is nearer than he was. I believe he is swimming in."
 Then Reddy crouched lower than ever and instead of watching Granny he watched Quacker the Duck.

Little Stories For Bedtime
REDDY SURE GRANNY HAS LOST
 HER SENSES
{By THORNTON BURGEss)

lIIT UST as I thought" muttered Reddy Fox as he peeped through
 the bushes on the bank of the Big River and saw Quacker the Wild Duck swimming about in the water where it ran too swiftly to freeze. We've got just as much chance of catching him as I have of jumping over the moon. That's what I'll tell Granny"
 He crept back carefully SD as not to be seen by Quacker and when he had reached the place where Granny was waiting for him his face wore very inn pudent look.
 Well" said Granny Fox, "what shall we do to catch him!
 Learn to swim like fish and fly like a bird," replied Reddy in such a saucy tone that Granny had heard work to keep from boxing his ears.
 "You mean you think he can't be caught?" said she quietly.
 q don't think anything about it-I KNOW he can't" snapped Reddy. Not by us, anyway" he added.
 q suppose you wouldn't even try" retorted Granny.
 I'm old enough to know when I'm wasting my time," replied Reddy with a toss of his head.
 "In other words, you think I'm silly old Fox who has lost her senses" said Granny sharply.
 Moo. I didn't say that" protested Reddy, looking very uncomfortable.
 But you think it." declared Granny. "Now, look here, MT. Smarty, you do just as I tell you. You creep back there where you can watch Quacker and all that happens, and mind that you keep out of sight. Now go"
 Reddy went. There was nothing else to do. He didn't dare disobey. Granny watched until Reddy had. reached his hiding place. Then what do you think she did? Why. she walked right out on the little beach, just below Reddy and in plain sight of Quacker! Yes, sir, that is what she did Then began such a queer performance that it is no won- der that Reddy was sure that Granny had lost her senses. She rolled over and over. She chased her tail round and round until it made Reddy dizzy to watch her. She jumped up in the air. She raced back and forth. She played with bit of stick And all the time she didn't pay the least attention to Quacker the Duck.
 Reddy stared and stared. Whatever had come over Granny? She was crazy. Yes, sir, that must be the matter. It must be that she had gone without food

SHE WAS THERE!

Nv10 IF FILING once wrote a story about IN a sending" A sending" is an
 Indian invention. It is aimed to upset the nerves and unbalance the reason-and does. If one has a grudge against some one and lives in India and knows native customs, a sending" can be arranged. This means a deluge, a plague, a prevalence of the thing your enemy dislikes most in his path at every turn.
 The man in Kipling's story disliked cats. There was a sending" of cats, little newborn blind kittens.
 He found them everywhere, and at all hours in the most unlikely places. They permeated his life. They turned up in the most unexpected manner until his nerves were raw and he was willing to cry quits with his unseen adversary.
 It was apparently this idea of a sending" that inspired lady who has recently forced her way into the news columns of the papers as a good method of bringing a man to time. It is Q breach of promise case, of course. But instead of taking it to court the lady tried sending" first.
 The man was dining at hotel with two friends. The lady appeared and seated herself at his table. He couldn't have her put out, so he and his friends had to leave and go without dinner.
 Riding in his motor next day he was caught in traffic jam. Suddenly the door of his motor opened and the lady hopped in. He could not put her out, so he got out and walked.
 The following day he was seated in his office talking to client. Suddenly the door opened and the lady appeared. She sat down and said she was hungry. He could not put her out, so he called the police.
 That is what happens to "send.
 ings" in our Western civilization.
 We call in the police-or if it is

To renovate a soiled couch hammock, try painting it any desired color. The canvas will take the paint very well. Two coats are generally needed.
 To restore the color of faded carpet, first of all brush it well all over, then rub it with cloth wrung out of water to which a little ammonia and salt have been added. This revives the colors wonderfully and makes the carpet beau tifully gresh looking.
 To prevent custard dishes or glasses from cracking when pouring boiled GUS tard into them, place the dish on a damp cloth. This plan is most effective.
 If colored clothes remain wet too long, no precautions can prevent the colors from running into streaks, and this will certainly happen if they are allowed to lie in water. They must always be laundered as quickly as possible.
 To keep glassware bright wipe as soon as removed from the hot suds Plumbers used for milk should first be rinsed in cold water.
 Black walnut furniture is quickly cleaned by rubbing with flannel cloth moistened with kerosene. Rub dry, then apply the following preparation: Mix together equal parts of linseed oil, vine- gar and turpentine. Shake we'll and apply with a flannel cloth and rub in well. Let the furniture stand short time, then rub vigorously with dry fan nel. Unless badly stained and marred, furniture will look better treated this way than when coated with a heavier dressing.

The Drunken Driver.

1t is high time the legislative and
judicial authorities began to consider
the crime of drunkenness when drlv-
ing a motor car as something infinite
ly more serious than is drunkenness
under ordinary circumstances.
Drunkenness which can harm no
one but the inebriated man, IS one
thing: drunkenness which is menace
to all who use the streets and roads.
and which converts the drunken man
to potential murderer is another.
few dollars fine, few days in
Jail, the loss of license, are not
enough. The man who runs amuck
with gun. killing and manning,
gets years behind the bars. The man
who runs amuck with a car while
drunk is just as culpable.

THE CLOCK FUND.
Proposed to Establish a Permanent
Clock Fund in Trust.

Another contribution to the city
clock fund has been received this
week, 81 being sent by Fred A.
Perkins of Sheepscot, in memory of
his mother, Mrs Irene w. Perkins
This with interest of $1.S5 on bank
deposit, makes the total fund to-day
$1,295.35.
While the fund is officially closed,
and with a surplus over the amount
required, the names of contributors
since the fund closed will be included
in the final list of contributors in
deed of gift to the city.
1t was suggested some time ago
that the surplus. if any, should be
contributed to the local Red Cross,
but several contributors have sug-
gested a permanent clock fund as
more in line with the purposes of the
contributors. Such a fund would be
deposited in trust with a bank, not
left in the hands of any individual,
and it is proposed to make it availa-
Bile for repairs on the clock of more
than an ordinary nature, for insur-
ance on the clock, or, if at any time
the principal and accommodations by
interest and subscriptions should be
sufficient for the purpose, the whole
fund could be used for the purchase
of another public clock to be placed
in the business section of the city.
