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 Slate Press Says Nice Things About Hoke Smith A Credit to Georgia.

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. (Copyright.

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.

So says Represon tstive Garlingion who made this statement a ter return from Atlanta last week.

(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.
