OF course Farmer Browns Boy was
not At all afraid of Jimmy Skunk. He
and Jimmy had been the bestof friends
for a long time. In fact, Farmer
Browns Boy was on the best of terms

ing is the basis of true friendship.
There can he no real friendship with
out understanding. Farmer Brown also
was on good terms with Jimmy and
his family. You see. Farmer Brown
knew just how much help those little
fellows in blaCk-and. d.white fur coats
were to him ON the farm. He knew
that they helped 10 keep down the
GrasshO1pers. He knew that they dug
up hundreds of white grlhs which
destroyed grass roots. He knew that
they ate many other harmful insects,
and that they caught mice. which are
40 destructive. But it took Mother
Brown a long time to feel at all GER
tain that these Skunks were as friend
ly as they appeared to be. However.
after they began dining nightly at the
doorstep, and little later coming into
the shed at the hack Of the house
to get their food, her friendiness to-
| ward them grew rapidly.
What do you suppose Jimmy Skunk
would do If / should invite him into
the house?" said Mother Brown.
II think he would accept the invi-
ia ton" replied Farmer Browns Boy.
But l don't believe you dare do it.
Mother"
Mother Browns eyes twinkled, but
she didn't say anything, and the sub
ject was dropped. The following after
noon Farmer Brown and his boy drove
to the village. They would not get
back until late. When 1t got time for
.Jimy Skunk and his family to come
for their supper Mother Brown sta
toned herself at the window to watch.
BY and by she saw Jimmy ambling
across the dooryard. He was alone.
For some reason or other the rest of
the family were late. Mother Brown
smiled. This just suited her. When
Jimmy entered the open shed door he
found the door to the kitchen open and
Mother Brown standing in the door
way. Jimy merely looked up. Then
he picked up a bit of meat, hacked
to the open door. where he turned and
took the meat out on the doorstep to
eat. Mother Brown stepped out into
the shed, picked up the plate of food.
took ii back into the kitchen, where
she spread a newspaper and set the
plate on this. Then she waited Pres.
emily she heard Jimmy shuf1ing
around in the shed. He was looking
for that plate of food. In moment
his black head appeared in the door
way.
Come in, jimmy said Mother
Brown. Come in. Your supper is
waiting for you here" Jimmy stood

ing something new would be too much
for me, anyway
But women are smart, and when
came home tonight I knew something
had happened because there was liver
and bacon for dinner and today is not
my birthday. and Joan will cook them
only on my birthday or when she
wants something. because she says
they are plebeian and I am not sure
what that means, but 7 have a sus-
picion 1t is a dirty crack.
So | said, why this big concession
on your part? Are you going to run
away with another man and trying
to soften the blow?' and Joan said,
did you have hard day, dearest ?"
and when she calls me dearest I can
always figure 1t Is costing me several
dollars a syllable. and l am glad she
does not call me mammals sweet little
precious petticums.
/ said, Well, dress yourself up in
| the bad news you bought and let me
see how much you were stung," and
she said, "Oh, got the darlingest
little hat today 1t was such a bar
gain simply could not resist It," and
| she brought it out and put 1t on. and
l said, Last week when l offered to
buy you a new hat II you would let
me give the boys at my poker party
a little drink, you said you did not
need a new hat"
That was an. error on my part.
Joan said. Speaking Of that poker
party reminds me. You lost S21.4o,
didn't your" and I said, We'll. yes"
and she said, Then we certainly
shall not argue over the way
souander your money" ana now she
is sore at me because she had forgot
ten the s21.40, and she figures she
just wasted giving me liver and
bacon and calling me dearest when
she had enough on me to make me
buy her a new hat. and when I win
/ in a poker game she gets half OF 1t
and when l lose she spends as much
as I lost to even things up, and 1t

Mrs. Brown supposed that he was

Jimmy had decided that that kitchen
vas an interesting place and he wanted
to know more about il. He walked in
and he walked right straight UP TO
Mother Brown. He took her by sur
prise and for minute Mother Brown
wished she hadn't invited him into the
kitchen in the first place. Wisely she
stood perfectly still. AS she said
afterward. she was too frightened to
do anything else. Jimmy shifted at
her shoes. as if to make sure that this
was the sort of friendly person he
thought she was. Then he calmly
began an inspection of the Kitchen
He inspected everything. by this

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

Girls--if you want plenty OF thick,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair. do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
comb or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that al itching

Women who have an artistic bent
and are home makers must instil into
their daily asks an element Of beauty
or they find the work too mundane
to be anything but irksome. But if
they study to have each task creative
of beauty, then they find a pleasure
In it.
One example of this that comes to
mind pertains directly to household
tasks. A daughter in a home had the
duties of cooking and serving meals
fall to her lot She was an artist al

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, February 16.

Astrologers read tomorrow an evil
day in which it is wise to let the usual
order of things proceed without at
tempting any sort of changes.
1t is a day most threatening to per-
sons who exercise governmental pow
ers, for their best intentions are likely
to he misrepresented.
Under this direction of the stars
Europe will meet problems that
threaten to overthrow thrones, the
seers prophesy.
Mars is In an aspect exceedingly
menacing tomorrow and news of a
sensational nature from abroad ap-
pears to be indicated.
Jealousy and envy are supposed to
be unusually prevalent under this
sway. 1t is well to cast out all sus-
picions, if one would make the best
of the day.
The seers point out that under this
direction of the stars leaders of men
will pass away or will be deposed
Great storms are again indicated,
and they will be especially destruc-
tive on certain parts of the Atlantic
Coast, it is foretold.
France continues under planetary
government which is exceedingly
menacing financially and CONNER
cially.
Ancient factories are to close in Eu-
rope, if the stars are rightly read, and
new industries will arise in the United
States, which is to make great prog
ress in artistic products.
In England the Labor party is to
gain great power and to enjoy new
benefits. it is prognosticated.
This is not an auspicious rule for
quick-tempered persons, whether they
live in Europe or America. Divorces
may be easily caused at this time.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have a year in which they are assail-
ed by conflicting interests.
Children born on that day proba bly,
will be forceful and determined
These subjects of Aquarius usually
have interesting careers.

HOW 1T STARTED
Pulling Chestnuts Out of Fire. ="
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To get somebody to pull your chest
nuts out of the fire is to use him to
do something which ordinarily is ex-
tremely risky. which is attended with
great danger, or something which you
are unable, disinclined or afraid to do
for yourself.
The reference is to the old fable of
the monkey and the chestnuts.
According to Aesop, the monkey
having roasted some chestnuts, dis
covered that they were so hot they
could not be touched.
So the monkey caught a cat and
compelled the cat to pull the chestnuts
out of the red-hot Goals.
