MR. POSSUM VISITS MR. BEAR.
Part I,
Mr Po«*um wan hungry and he «»t
thinking where he could get a good
meal without working very hard when
It suddenly occurred to him that he
had not paid any vlnita to his friends
in the woods in some time.
"Mr. Bear will certainly have n pan
try full of just the things I like if only
he is away He is such a sound
sleeper and takes such long naps that
1 am afraid he may not he out."
' ~i'
So Mr. Possum trotted off to Mr
Bear's house and knocked at the door.
Not a sound could he hear, though he
put l»i« ear olose to the door each time
he knocked, then he went to window
and stood on tiptoes and peeped in.
Me could see Just the tip end of Mr.
Hear s nose sticking up from the bed
clothes, and when he listened very
hard he could hear breathing, so he
knew Mr Rear was sound asleep, and
it would be hard work to awaken
him.
Mr Possum stood some time think
ing. Then he looked about, to make
sure no one was In sight, and, walk
ing very softly, he went to the hack
of Mr. Bear's house to the pantry
window and looked at it.
Ho could see through the window
pies and cakes on the shelf and Jars
which he was sure held sweet things.
Mr. Possum tried the window and it
opened a little; then he pushed it up
and made a place large enough to get
through, and in a minute ho was in
side the pantry, with the window

Oamonatrstad His Fitness.
(Commerce Observer, l
Hoke Smith has demonstrated his
i fitness for the office of senator tn
1 such a convincing manner that the
astute politic ana are wisely standing
from under His former rank ene
mloe. except those who are blindly
I prejudiced, admit that he Is In the
! right place and should be kei t there.
Mors Impassstontd Than Deliberate
• The Savannah Cress I.
The people of Georgia are heartily
sick of he political feud between
Smith and Brow n, Quar tl* ate tre
mendously Interesting when they arc
at their heat, but they can t be warm-
closed If Ha had left the windnwi
open 1 should no*t be able to tell you
this story, but he didn’t, and that was
the way he got into trouble.
He listened to make sure Mr. Bear
was still sleeping and from the
sounds lie heard lie knew he was; then
Mr. Possum tasted the cake; it was
rather dry. because Mr. I tear was not
a good housekeeper and left it on the
shelf, instead of putting it in the cake
box; but Mr. Possum was not fijssy,
so he ate all of it.
Then he took a big piece of pie; it
was mince, and if there was one thing
more than another that Mr. Possum
loved it was mince pie; so he ate all of
it.
Mr Possum was not very careful
about dropping the crumbs, just as
little boys and girls sometimes forget
and lot the crumbs fall on the floor.
Well, that was the w r av Mr. Possum
did, and Just as lie was trying to see
what was on the top shelf he stepped
on a bit of minced meat, and dropped
the pie, and over he went, hitting the
pile of tins as he fell
Mr. Bear came out of his bed with
a bound and listened. All was still,
l ut he felt sure it was th« sound of
falling tins he had heard, and
startd for the pantry, growling as he
ran. He opened the pantry door and
then he growled louder.
“Who has been here wnile T was
asleep and eaten all my good things?”
he said, hunting all around for the
thief.
“He got away.” growled Mr. Bear,
"hut lie closed the window after him.
1 was too slow in getting up. I*ll fix
that window' this time so no one will
get in.”
So Mr. Bear Got a hammer and
some nails and nailed the window so
it could not be raised.
Then Mr. Bear closed the door and
went hack 1«» bed and was soon asleep
again, breathing so loudly that Mr.
Possum from his hiding place heard
him and looked out.
But where do you think he was hid
ing all this time? You never will guess,
so 1 w’ill tell you He was hiding In
the molasses barrel.
He was scared I can tell you. when
he felt the sticky stuff, but he knew it
would he worse for him if he made
any erv and Mr Bear found him so lie
kept still until he heard Mr Bear
sleeping sourtdlv, and then he crawled
out.
And such a sticky fellow as Mr. Pos
sum was!
Tomorrow I’ll tell you how he got
out of Mr. Bear’s house and what hap
pened afterward.

Gained Thousands of Adnrrers.
• The Albany Herald )
Senator Smith has lost the friend
ship of very few of those who sup
iiorted him in his last race for gov
ernor. the only exceptions being cer
tain disappointed place hunters who
blame the senator for their failure to
land. On the other hand, he has gain
ed thousands of admirers and sup
porters as the result of his splendid
work In congress, and it is difficult
to nee where ex-Governor Brown can
find ground for the hope which evi
dently spurs him on.
Has Fallen Flat.
(The Columbia Sentinel )
"Joe Brown’s announcement for
senate has fallen flat all over the
state of Georgia." So says Represon
tstive Garlingion who made this
statement a ter return from Atlanta
last week. Mr. Garllngton made this
statement after hearing the political
gossip at the capital, and the news
paper comment of the state attests
the truth of it.

THE BAD PUSSY.
(By Virginia Vate.j
Once upon a time there was a
pretty cat in the office of a can
dy factory who was fond ot
candy and would eat it anytime;
some of the clerks gave her a
piece and sometimes. I am sorry
to say. she stole some when she
found the cover off one of the
boxes. >
One week she had been awfully
bad and had stolen a lot of candy
even lifting the box covers with
her paws to get at the sweets
The man who had the factory
didn't like that at all and decid
ed to punish pussy in some way.
When It came Saturday 'he
thought he would not let the cat
stay in the factory over Sunday,
but would lock her out and see
how she liked staving out doors
for the whole day.
Poor pussy didn't know what
to do. It rained all that Sunday
nobody was on the street and
she was lonesome and wet and
hungry.
She curled up in a corner of
the factory doorway but couuldn't
get to sleep even. It was so cold
and dreary. All night Saturday
all day Sunday and all night
Sunday she had to stay out.
When the factory doors opened
Monday she ran in as quickly as
she could to her nice warm box
under a desk and when the boss
came tn she rubbed against him
an I purred anl looked up as if to
say “Don't punish me anymore
1 am sorry and won’t steal anv
more candy."
The boss didn't know what she
meant, hut he no'ic”d that she
never stole any more randy, but
only ate the broken pieces ~htch
the clerks gave her.
