Mr. Hrar wHe liable to awake at any
moment* he did not Hlop long to think
about being uncomfortable.
ll** opened the pantry door a little
and looked out. lie could aep Mr.
Hear now ;»m well na hear him, and he
tiptoed very caret ally past him to the
door and drew the bolt.
<>• roTno ho left molaflaea every

end closed it softly, and then Mr.
PoMtum ran. and he ran fast. too.
He didn't *«u\p until ho reached
home, and then he began to wonder
what he could do to rid hlmaelf of the
molaanes.
Finally he decided to roll over end
over on the ground was the best thing
so he found a place where there were
no stones only dead leaves, and here
he rolled end rolled.
When he was sure It must be all off
lie got up but he felt something on
Ilia rust that neemed to make him
bigger, ami hla head felt an If lie were
covered with something. Mr. I’oiium
shook himself, but if was no use: he
could not make himself feel right
"I'll go down to the river," said Mr.
Possum, "and see whsf is the mutter
with me.” ,
So, down to the river he went, but
when he saw his reflection. Mr Pos
sum almost tumbled Into the water.
He looked like a bundle of leaves
and sticks, for lbs molasses had made
everything he touched stick tu. his
coat, and he was wondering what he
could do when he heard the sound of
doga barking Mr Possum ran. hut
tie saw the dogs coming, and forget

biding him. he rolled over on his back,
playing dead.
THE WAYS OF THRIFT
I Copyrighted, l»M, American Society
for Thrift.
SCHOOL CHILDREN'S THRIFT
COMPETITION.
The school garden thrift contest of
I the American Society for Thrift has
disclosed practical thrift in contending
with the high cost of living that Is real
and suggestive Children from all
, ever the country compsttng for the
Straus prizes sent to the Chicago head
j qilgrtsra true stories of people whom
they know who had best Illustrated
j thrift In gardening. The following
| mg was written by a little girl In Wor
j i ester, Mass ,
•'last summer I had a garden. I
j bought two dollars' worth of vegetable
seeds. I planted corn, beans, p, as and
I cucumbers In my garden. When my
1 cucumbers In my garden were up two
Inches, I put a tent of netting over
them and sprinkled on ashes to kill
Ith# hugs. They aoon grew to touch the
I netting. When I took this off I had
The dogs came along and sniffed
at the leaves, then they harked again,
and Mr. Possum thinking Ills end had
come tills time, did not wait for the
man with the gun, whom he was sure
would follow', but when one of the
dogs began to paw too hard Mr. Pos
sum wondered if he could frighten
them, ami he jumped up and ran for
a tree.
Tin* dogs seeing this queer object
running, rati after it. but this time
Mr. Possum did not stop until he was
safe in the tree.
“Ha! Ha!" laughed Mr. Possum, "I
fooled them that time; this disguise is
not so bad after all." Mr. Possum
slept that night with his new coat on,
hut In the morning he began to think
it was not so much fun, because he
did not 'meet any more dogs and
hunters to fool, hut how to be rid of it
was the question.
Mr. Possum wanted his breakfast,
so he walked along, thinking he
would call on Mr. Fox, as he might
be able to tell hint how to get rid of
the leaves and sticks he was wearing,
even if he would not share his break
last with him.
When Mr. Fox opened his door and
saw the strange-looking creature
standing there he closed it with a
bang right in .Mr. Possum’s face.
"Oh, Mr. Fox! Mr. Fox! don’t be
afraid! It is Mr. Possum. Open the
door, please. I want your advice. I
am in trouble,” he said.
Mr. Fox knew his voice and opened
the door a little hit and looked out.
"What has happened to you?’’ he
asked.
"Oh. Mr. Fox, 1 am so hungry. If
you could Just give me something hat
to drink?" said Mr. Possum, almost
crying. ”1 have had a terrible night."
"What happened?” asked Mr.
Fox again.
"Well, you see T caught cold,” he
said, “and I have had terrible pains in
my head and al over my body, and
last night I called Dr. Owl and he told
me to coter myself with a plaster of
leaves, and he gave me some some
horrible stuff to rub on me.
"I rubbed it all over my head and
body and then rolled In dry leaves,
and while I am much better this morn
ing, I can’t get rid of these. Now.
what 1 want Is your advice; you are
so clever What shall 1 do to get this
off my coat ?”
"Well, sit right up here close to the
fire and get warm first,” said Mr, Fox,
"and we will see what can he done for
you."
After Mr Possum had sat by the
fire for awhile he felt as if something
was sliding off him, and, looking on
the floor, he mhw little spots of mo
lasses and he could rub most of it
off.
Tomorrow I will tell you what Mr.
Fox said and what happened besides.

mother. Miss Rehle's father died
when she was very young, and left
very little money and a small piece of
land near fahokla. Miss Reble being
only twelve years old at the time,
could not cultivate ull the land, so she
took a piece about sixty feet square,
and planted all kinds of vegetables on
it. Before the vegetables were grown
Miss Reble and her mother were deep
In debt, but when she sold the pro
duce she found that it covered till of

awarded twenty dollars by the presi
dent of the American Society for
thrift, Simon W. Straus. The four
who were rated second best received
five dollars, and one dollar each went
to writers of the ten third best stories,

“Smilinq Images”
(Collier’s Weekly.)
We flayed—in a recent paragraph
—the man who is nothing. But, even
w *th the aid of Holland’s “Jean-
Christophe," we made no more com
plete job of it than Stevenson once
di«l in four sentences;
It 1h better to be a fool than to be
dead. it. is better to emit a scream
. than to be entirely insensible
to the Jars and incongruities of life,
and take everything as it comes In a
forlorn stupidity. Some people swal
low the universe like a pill, they travel
on through the world, like smiling
images pushed from behind. For God's
sake, glvp me the young man who
has brains enough to make a fool of
himself!
Here Is one of the most tremendous
indictments ever penned against the
human zero. Remember this: a corpse
is the only absolutely blameless thing
in the world— and the least effective.
Dante dedicated a # special circle of his
Inferno to such as these. The on.
unforglveubie sin is—not to sin—but
to lead a posthumous life.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION
We set forth below Editor Wallace**
views as to the need of a compulsory
school attendance law in South Caro
lina. Mr. Wallace, editor of the Now
berry Observer, is one of the truest and
most conservative men in the state, be
fore going into tHe newspaper business,
he taught school for n number of years
Here’s what he says
“But it would not require anything
like ths additional money that some pre
tend. There 1* room enough in hun
ind thousands of »«' i»<»»*t houses in
South Carolina for a large addition to
their enrollment; and h school house ano
a school teacher are like a lamp in this,
that they shine as brightly for a score
or more as for a paltry half a dozen. A
large proportion of the children now out
of school practically all of them we
might say would be absorbed into the
grs it t'o<i\ of \boss "ho no*
without any material Increase of ex
pense for school houses and equipment#
But If not; ts the number is too great
for thnt then so much more urgent Is
tbe need for compulsory education lie
cause of the great number in need of it:
if there were only ft few, it would not
be so urgent
"The old doge about forcing the ne
ginas Into th# schools that irgumsnt
ousht to be pul away among the arch
ives. It has played out. There really
ne\« r was anything In it Negroes don't
wait to be ‘forced* inti* schools, thev
go snvhom In one county of the state
tbe negro is 32 per cent of the popula
tion. while tbe negro attendance on ths
public schools is 3$ per cent: and that
Is about tbe way It goes all over the
state
“Bm suppose it shoulti force siuue ne»
irroes into schools; is it #nv benefit to
a white child to keep him out of school
tn order to keep a ncKro out? Will tint
sotlsf' him wl’cn lie irrows up, nod will
it mske his life sn> r.isier or better?
Serine thill ths iidmlnlstrstlon of the
school laws. a» well as s’l othsr laws
In South Carolina, Is In the hand# of th#
white people Isn't It s pitiful pies that
we must nol provide for the education of
the white children lest some 'ni*rer'
nueht jet s little education, too?
"Let the Icxlsinture adopt a compul
sory education law. and it witl mu be
twelve months until every corner end
section of the state will have all the
school room and the equipment that will
be needed tor all the white children.
What Is the use to provide these things
before they are needed? Suppose they
should never be needed -why the wsate?
The law must always come first; then
provision Is made for carrying out the
Jaw.’’—Lancaster News.

JACKIE'S FISHING TRIP.
(By Virginia Vale.)
Once upon a time Jackie's
father one morning asked if ho
would like to go fishing. Of
course Jackie was delignted, lor
he had teased his father for a
long time to let him go with
him to fish. &"o after breakfast
father, with a big spade and
Jackie with his toy shovel, went
out of the garden back of the
house to dig worms for bait.
Jackie did not just know wheth
er he liked to pick up the worms
or npt, they were so slippery and
crawley, but his father didn't
seem to mind do ng it so Jackie
was as brave is he could be and
picked them up as calmly as his
father although squealed several
times when they twined about
'his little fingers.
Then they got out the boat on
1 the edge of the i ond and father
lei Jackie steer with the rudder
while lie rowed.
Jackie of course wanted to row,
but his father didn't think he was
strong enough and feared he
would tip the boat over or lose
the oars.
When they started fishing
Jackie had again to handle the
nasty worms and put them on the
hook but he was quite used to
that by this time. Then he drop
ped his line overboard and it
iiad only been there a minute or
so before Jackie felt a tug. then
a Warder one and his father said:
“Pull it up, Jackie. You've got
a fish.’’
Jackie did so and "sloop”
came into the boat one of the
prtttiest little fish you can imag
ine and lay flapping its tail at
Jackie's teet.
‘‘Now, what shall I do?” said
Jackie much excited. ‘‘Take it
off the hook,” answered his fa
ther. "And be careful you don't
stick the hook in your fingers.”
So Jackie had to take the wrlg- *
gling fish in ills hand and after
much squealing and "Oh dears”
he managed to get him off the
hook and into the basket, but it
was only his father's “To be a
man Jackie you must do these
things,” that kept him from cry
ing and it was a long time before
he wanted to go fishing again.
