He never has before" said Farmer
Browns Boy. There must have been
reason. / know Jimmy Skunk, and
you can depend on Jimmy to be a gen
tleman just as long as he is treated
as a gentleman. Something happened
out there that we don't know about.
Jimmy thought he had to use that
scent of his, or he wouldn't have used
it. I'm going out to look around"
So Farmer Browns Boy went out
side with q lantern and looked in the
snow to see il he could find any
strange tracks. But the snow was so
trodden around the doorstep that he
couldn't tell whether there were any
strange tracks or not. He was about
to go back into the house when in the
dusk he saw a white spot over on the
roof of the barn.
Il believe Whitley has come back"
said he, and going over to the barn
he held his lantern high so as to
was Whitley, but somehow Whitley
didn't look himself at all. He didn't
sit up as straight as he usually did
In fact, Whitley looked as IL he felt
very miserable.
Now at the time there was a light
wind blowing. 1t was blowing from
the barn toward the house. OF course
1t should have carried away in the
other direction the scent left by Jimmy
Skunk. But Farmer Browns Bow no.
ticed that Jimmy's scent was very
strong, very strong, indeed. At first

Jimmy, or else you We're very, very

that was the trouble. I'll have to see
what can be done about it,
He went into the barn where he had
some traps set for the rats. In one
was rat. 1t was q trap that killed
the rats instantly. Farmer Browns
Boy took the rat out and put It up on
post IN the henyard where Whitley
couldn't help but see it. Then he
went back into the house to tell Farm
er Brown that it was just as he had
thought and that Jimmy Skunk WASN'T
to blame a bit for having used his
scent; that he had done it to save his
life. Farmer Brown had to admit that
probably this was so. Later. when
Farmer Browns Boy stepped out to
look. he found that the rat had dis.
appeared. Whitley had had a meal
after all.

Little Things That Are Neglected

are in haste. such things do not get
put away then and there, but are
lett Tor that more convenient season
mat may or may not come for days
The things stare you in the face every
time you spy them, and always comes
the thought, I'm put that away In a
rev minutes" But do you? Such
tnlngs are not cared for in any such
offhand way. They actually demand
time and attention--the getting down
OF the box and the putting away of
N-that equals the first work. They
insist on their double share of atten-
ton. What a bother!
Snaps That Annoy.
Fart of snap comes off, and in
our haste we lay 1t on the bureau or
table. 1t is but a trifie. of no real i'm
portance even if 1t does not happen
to be put away just then. But later
on 1t catches the light and shows up
instantly, Just when we think the
room is looking its best We are an.
noyed and snatch it off and nut if
somewhere. anywhere. 1t is only
when We need it on the frocl< that we
remember the incident. but are totally
at loss to know where we put the
tiny disk. II only we had snapped il
back Immediately on to the other half
Of the fastening that remained on the
dress all our bother and ANNOYANCE
would have been prevented.
Pins That Provoke.
Hairpins. while seldom used in com.
parison with the days when long hair
was the rule and not the exception,
may be all the more disturbing. No
special receptacle for them seems
needed. We can put them back in the
box they came In whenever q few
are wanted. But there are apt to be
one or two that are not put away and
they certainly do give a touch of un.
tidiness to the bureau when all else is
in order. and ordinary pins are quite
as apt to be left thus to bother us.
Impertinent Trifies.
And SO we find that It is not always
the large things that are not put in
place that lend a room a look Of dis
array: it frequently Is the little things
that are telling. The small things that
are of little consequence. especially
when there are several Of them about,
prove irritating. We are annoyed with
ourselves for our stupidity in leaving
them around, and we are even more
absurdly vexed with the things them
selves for their insistence in showing

His faith and confidence will lend.
Farmer Browns Boy

The scent that Jimmy Skunk uses
for his own defense is very strong and
TO most people it is very unpleasant.
When Jimmy was forced to use it to
save himself from Whitley the Snowy
Owl, he was close to Farmer Browns
house and that scent got into the
house. 1t was SO strong that no one
enjoyed the good supper Mother Brown
had prepared. Farmer Brown was
quite upset about it.

SIGNS
FEW BILLS

The spectacular Senate filihuster
which Paralyzed Congress activi-
ties in the closing days saved Presi-
dent Coolidge a lot of pen.work
today.
The Presidential signature was
attached today TO but 146 bills and
resolutions in the closing hours,
whereas normally on closing days
there are hundreds of bills to sign.
The filibuster prevented hundreds
of minor bills from passing.
Measures signed today included:
A bill authorizing the Veterans
Bureau to make loans on soldiers
adjusted compensation certificates.
A bill authorizing the Secretary of
Interior to withhold approval until
1928 of the Northern Pacific land
grants, and continuing the life of the
joint congressional committee in
vestigating the grants.
A joint resolution extending the
provisions Of the compact between
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Mon
tana for allocating water Of the
Columbia River and tributaries.

hailed as The Coolidge Congress"
1t was the legislative arm fur
nished Mr.. Coolidge for his first
elective term. and with its large
Republican majorities it was looked
to to carry out the Coolidge pro-
gram. Yet it Immediately belied
its label as THE Coolidge Congress"
by administering to the President
one Of the severest defeats Of his
administration--the refusal to con-
firm Charles Beecher Warren a.
Attorney General. Then, having
been blooded. it proceeded to com
pile a record OF defiance of the
White House that has been euua He'd
by but few Congresses in recent
history. r
Accomplishments
Along with its record Of insIr.
gency, however, the Sixty-ninth
has written considerable legislative
accomplishment.
Its chief enactments have been:
A new tax bin which saves the
country upwards OF half a billion
dollars annually.
Ratification of all the remaining
war debt settlements, save that OF
France, and that will be ratified
as soon as France ratifies.
Reorganization Of the prohibition
enforcement system, bringing all
agents under the civil service sys-
tenn.
Passage and re,passage of the
McNary-Haugen farm relief bill,
each time vetoed by President
Coolidge.
Government regulation of the lusty
infant radio industry through the
creation of a Federal commission
with czar-like powers.
A new banking act, broadening
the field of national banks, and de-
signed to strengthen the Federal Re
serve system through extension of
it's charter.
Adherence to the World Court
an enactment later nullified by the
powers refusal to accept Senate
reservations.
Record OF Economy
Comparative close adherence to
the budget in all expenditures,
thus achieving a record of economy.
Hundreds of minor bills, regula-
tory, corrective and routine.
On the other side of the ledger,
the Sixty-ninth Congress failed to
dispose OF numerous problems the
most important of which were:
No legislation to enable the Elk
ecutive to act in coal strikes, as
recommended by President Coolidge.
No disposition of Muscle Shoals,
