The Jumping Terror.
From temptation turn away;
You will find twill always pay.

Buster Bear.
Buster Bear didn't put his foot down
where he had expected to. You see,
just as he was going to take step his
ears caught a sound back Of him, and
instantly he turned to look in that di-
rection and to sniff the air. It had
sounded to him as If q stick had
snapped, but it wouldn't have been sur
prising if that had been true, for the
wind was blowing and a storm was
coming up. Buster stood up and looked
and listened 1t was difficult to hear
much, for the branches of the trees
You see, the wind was steadily in
creasing.
For several minutes Buster stood
there without motion. From q short
distance away he looked like a black
stump. Then he caught sight of a
white spot moving and he knew 1t at
once for the tail of Deer. 1T must
be that that Deer stepped on a stick
and broke It," thought Buster. Il am
glad it was only a Deer. thought 1t
might have been that hunter coming
back. My, how the wind does blow
There is going to be q storm and
guess I had better get home. That
cave Is nice and dry and don't feel
like getting wet tonight"
Buster half turned, as II to con-
tinue on his way, when there came an
extra hard puff Of wind and dead
| limb was snapped of high above Bus
| ter's head. Down 1t came and fell
| just where Buster would have been
had he taken one more step. When 1t
| hit the ground, a most startling thing
occurred. It seemed to Buster that
something jumped right out Of the
ground at him and two great jaws
came together with horrid snap.
Never had Buster been more frightened.
He didn't know what to make OF 1t at
all.
Now, you know, and I know, just
what had happened That fallen limb
| had sprung the steel trap that had
been set on Busters trail to catch him.
That is what happened. Had not the
wind broken off that branch just when
| it did, and had not that branch fallen
just where it did, that jumping terror
would have caught Buster by his right
foreleg and I doubt very much If Bus
ter would have been able to get away
AS it was, he simply turned and took
to his heels He had seen all he wanted
to see of that part of the Great Noun
tain. 1t gave him dreadful feeling OF
uncertainty. How could he know when
it was safe and when it was not safe
to take a step!
"That was trap set specially fol
me-" thought Buster. Eyes, sir, thai
was a trap set specially for me.

form, and yet she felt that the child
had now grown to the point where she
could observe some of the Christmas
customs and festivities. So, after rack
ing her brain and thumbing her cook
books, Nancy decided on stuffed prunes
and dates as the kinds of sweets best
suited for little children. Her book did
not suggest stuffed apricots, but she
saw no reason why they could not be
used as well. She purchased large
prunes, a package OF dates, box of
raisins, a good quality dried apricots,
candied citron, orange and lemon peel.
First she washed prunes, apricots and
dates In boiling water. Then she put
them in a steamer and steamed them
until they were plump and Softened.
She carefully removed the pits and
stones. The raisins, peels and part of
the prunes were chopped coarsely. A

Procrastination and Fate.

How many husbands and wives do
you know who procrastinate about
things which require immediate atten-
ton?
Young couples may be heard to say:
"'Oh, we have no time to save. Well
spend what we have now and enjoy life.
Later on we cannot enjoy the things
we do now, and then it will be time
enough to save"
Unfortunately, two facts contradict
the promise Of future saving, First of
all, thrift or tI1riftlesSness become fixed
habits. After lifetime of spending it
is no easier to save than it is to teach
new tricks to an old circus horse.
Secondly, it is a popular faIlacy of
ahe young to think that only in youth
may one enjoy life. AS We grow older
our capacity to enjoy life increases
rather than decreases. Having a COM
petence for maturity and beyond is the
only way of assuring ourselves of this
pleasure.
It is no easy thing to pass up present
enjoyments for future benefits. That
however, is the essence of real thrift

among the rich, heavy holiday foods.
To be at their best, salads should
have salad dressings made at homs.
Thus you are assured of the olive
oil that makes the salad doubly
valuable from @ health standpoint.
It adds the vital, life-giving vita
mines and facilitates digestion.
The following recipe makes
most delicious French Dressings
French Dressing
Fill tiiegar cruet about e
full of PonIpeiGn Olive Oh.
Add 1inegar spGTIHoly, tho
eract proportion depending
upon ONES indipidwdE t0ste.
Then add soIt, pepper, and
a dash of pGprikG. Also add q
dash of mustard or fet0 drops
of Woroestershire E0Gcs.
Then shake thoroughly until
toeU blended, thick and
smooth.
If you use q prepared mayonnaise,
add to it about one quarter its
amount of olive oil. Add the oil
slowly, beating 1t in lightly. You
will be surprised at the tremendous
Improvement in its flavor and good
ness.
OF course, the finest olive oil makes
the finest salad dressing. It Ia for
this reason that most particular
cooks insist ON POmpeian Olive Oil.
Pompeian Olive Oil is pure, virgin
imported olive oil, without adulter-
alton or chemical treatment. Pom
peian Olive Oil is the virgin or first
pressing Of the choicest hand-picked
olives that the world affords. Moth
ing is added, nothing istaken away.
1t comes to you just as it hows from
the olive fruit itself.
You will love Pompeian Olive Oil.
Ask your grocer for q tin today.
Use it in your salad for the Christ
mas dinner and for your everyday
meals.

toward talkies.
Perhaps Mr.. Schenck has been going
to the talkieS. Miaowi
Fritz Tidden is making lot Of pocket
money these days. He rushes up to stu
dioites famous for their betting pro-
clivities with something like this:
"Bet you five you can't tell me
whether the camel on the cigarette
package has a halter or not. You can't
tell me whether the little man who is
leading him holds the rein in his hand
or whether it just bangles over his
shoulder"
Every one has an opinion.
Nine out of ten are wrong. There
isn't any little man. II you don't be-
lieve me, look for yourself. The only
bets Tidden has lost were, from people
who had heard 1t before.

HOOVER May NOT

Uncertainty About Coming
legislation lnd Session Is Factor

Washington. Dec. ~ INTO thu
uncertainty about the proposed spe-
cial session. farm relief and tariff
revision had been added tho report
that Herbert Hoover was not tn
clined to give his preferences about
legislation until after his inaugura-
ton.
With the news that he was on hts
way to Warrington 1t was felt BY
some perplexed congressman that 4
few words from the president-eiect
would restore harmony. These few
words may not be said.
Just ut present there arc some who
favor = special session for farm re-
lief. Others favor = special session,
but want the tariff revised. still
others want both considered and
finally some want no special session
at all. There also are differences Of
opinion about when this special ses-
sion should be held. The spring has
bean suggested. and 70 has the fall

already has been introduced by Sen
ator McNary OF Oregon. President
elect Hoover said during the course
OF the campaign that he would call
a special session Of congress 1t some
solution Of the farm problem were
not found before he took ONCE.
Among those who think that q
satisfactory farm bill could be
passed before March I are Speaker
I.ongworth and Representative TIL
son. the majority floor leader.
Mr.. LonGwoSth said he thought It
would be a mistake to walt until the
next session to do something about
the problems OF agriculture. He de-
ciared 1t would take ut least six
months for farm board to organize
and that delay beyond this session
would make relief come too late for
tho 1929 crops. He favors a special
session. but thinks the autumn would
be good time for 1t. He said the
tariff did not need a general revision
and that the farm. textile and cement
schedules are probably all that need
any considerable overhauling.
Spring Good Time
Mr.. Ttlson's ideas in the main con.
form to those OF Speaker LonEworth.
only he thinks the spring a good time
