JOYOUS MUD PUDDLES

There was great excitement.
Come and fill me-" said a little
hole.
Come and fill me-" said tiny
place where the ground made a hol-
low.
Come and fill u.s." said the gut
tiers.
1t was raining and as the raindrops
fell the holes all wanted to be filled
with rain water.
'Then we become puddles and we
fascinate the children" they said.
Come and fill us, rain"
So the rain made lots of puddles
and just as soon as 1t had stopped
raining the sun came out to see what
had happened.
Don't dry us up too quickly, Mr..
Sum-" the puddles all asked in their
most polite puddle manners.
You've no idea how polite puddles
can be. But you will notice that often
on sunny days you will still find
puddles.
They have been left because the
puddles have been so polite and have
asked the sun not to dry them up at
once, or have asked a tree to give
them shade.
All puddles are taught politeness by
their puddle parents. OF course they
can't ask too much of the sun so they
are quite willing to give up being
puddles after little while.
But they wouldn't be puddles for
nearly so long as they are If it weren't
for their puddle politeness.
The sun was shining brightly now.
The grass was glistening and look
ing so fresh and new and pretty.
There was every reason for this.
The new grass of the season was hav-
ing coming-out party and so was
dressed up exQuisilely.
Many young buds were going to
attend the coming-out party Of the
grass.
The birds were furnishing the mu-
sic in return for banquet of worms,
and Mr.. Robin was now pulling forth
a long one, shaking his head as he
pulled.
But the puddles were going to have
a party of their own.

recently:
"Our politicians love us dearly be-

Munyon's.
"Mr. Munyon's wife came to him a
little time before Christmas and said:
"'George, dear, I'm sorry, but you'll
have to give me a 5000 check to buy
our presents with. I've cut the list
down to the bone, but prices are so
high, and the list Is still so long
":1t's a tall order, $780, said Mr..
Munyon, gloomily. Look here, sup
pose you don't give me any presents
at all this ChristmasY
"'Oh, George, l could never agree
to that
eyes, yes. you must. Times are
mighty hard
"'Well, If you insist, George, con-
sent, just for this once
"'Good! And Mr.. Munyon sighed
with relief. Now go through your list
again and tell me how big check you
need
Mrs. Munyon went through the list
a second time very carefully, while
Mr.. Munyon waited with a hopeful
smile.
"'There! she said at last There,
George! You need only to give me
a check for $199.50 now.'"

How the big corporations try to give
satisfaction, and how we abuse them
How we lie about them!
How we grumble at the telephone
companies! Yet their service is the
most wonderful, the cheapest thing we
have
Same way with the water companies,
the railroad companies, the electric
lighting companies, the street railway
companies, the gas companies.
Well finally boycott all these, as we
have the Japanese, because they are
so polite, we'll managed and work so
cheap.
This is not paid piffle in the interest
of dangerous, dishonest men; it is

What Fun 1t All Was.

now to have some real springtime
puddles will be so NICE" the puddles
said, without any too much modesty.
But still you can't expect them to
be too modest. They are always
greeted with such JOY that they can't
be anything else but pleased and
proud of their popularity.
True, during the winter and early
spring, when the ice had melted there
had been some nice big puddles but
there was something about the puddles
at this time Of year-the regular
puddles of the true springtime-tha
were nicer than any others.
When the puddles said "They," they
meant the children.
So the puddles waited for their
friends.
"Here they come" the puddles
cried, as the children came out of
school.
Oh, what fun it all was. Some
times they splashed over a child's
rubbers and they knew that was
uduSlly UuI IHcy eAJOJCu IL JUST Tic
same.
They had puddle politeness as you
know but they had puddle mischief
too.
And maybe you know that there is
nothing quite so mischievous as a
puddle.
AS the children splashed and stepped
and walked through the puddles, try
ing pretty we'll not to help the puddles
splash over their rubbers, the puddles
hummed this little song TO themselves:
Puddles, puddles. puddles,
Popular, proud and polite,
Puddles, puddles, puddles.
A gorgeous muddy sight.
Puddles, puddles, puddles.
Pleasant proud and playful.
Puddles, puddles, puddles,
Never in actions dull.
