Today's misfortune you may see
Tomorrow's good luck proves to be.
old Mother Nature.

YOENNY CHUCK was much upset.
You know Jimmy Skunk had
taken possession of Johnny's
- house In the ground. Jimmy
would sleep there all day. At night he
would be roaming about outside.
Johnny didn't mind not being able to
use the house in the daytime because
that, at this time Of year, was when
he would be roaming about. Johnny
Is a pretty active fellow in the early
Spring, when he can find only bite
here and a bite there. Still Johnny
was very much peeved because, after
all, that really was his house.
He couldn't get over 1t. He was In
q bad temper all morning as he ran
this way and ran that way, hunting
for something to eat. Even when he
found a good-sized patch of young
clover he continued out of sorts. BY
and by he went over to certain tree
and climbed up in 1t. You didn't
know Johnny could climb? OF course
he can climb. He doesn't do it very
often, but every once in a while he
takes a notion to climb, and does. You
know he is sort Of cousin of Happy
Jack Squirrel. He didn't climb very
high. He hardly knew himself why he
did it. Perhaps it was because he no
longer had a doorstep that he could
60 and sit on, ready to dive down in
case an enemy came along.
Johnny had been sitting up in a
crotch of that tree only a little while
when he saw Dog coming across the
Green Meadows. Johnny didn't pay
particular attention at first, but when
the Dog drew nearer Johnny realized
that never had he seen this Dog before.
Johnny knew Bowser the Hound and
Flip the Terrier, who live at Farmer
Browns. He knew them well. This
Dog was neither Bowser nor Flip.
He was running about, shifting here
and there. He was trying to find
somebody to chase. Little by little he
drew nearer to Johnny's new house,
wherein Jimmy Skunk was nov asleep.
Presently he shifted at the doorway.
Then he barked. He barked excitedly.
HE knows there's some one down
In there" thought Johnny Chuck
Perhaps he doesn't know who it is,
but he knows there's some one in
there. wonder what he'll do
about it."
He didn't have to wait long to find
out. That Dog began to dig furiously.
He made the earth fly. Now and then
h "a hnn nnlr k,o ",
he would 60 to digging again.
For the first time Johnny Chuck
was glad he wasn't at home. Yes, sir,
he was glad he wasn't at home. THAT
fellow acts as if he meant to dig clear
to the bottom" said Johnny to him.

stead Of Jimmy Skunk, I would be in
something of fix. My, how that
fellow can dig! 7 remember it was

TINE time for gay little cotton
prints both for older sister and
the younger set is at hand,
and nothing could be simpler
than this darling dress-so easy to
make-so comfortable for nimble dears
and SO smart to wear
The French bodice effect and but
toned panel are cunning details which
all little maidens love, especially the
fared skirt, because it provides am
pie freedom for playtine. Decora-
tive features are hidden in the con-
trasting collar trimmed with ruffled
edging, and brief puff sleeves. The
material may be a printed percale,
lawn, linen or gingham. Dimity, voile
or silk is adorable for party frocks.
If it is made in a plaid or checked
gingham, you can omit the ruffled
edging from the collar and make the
collar of plain white pique.
