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 ting all about bts covering of leaves 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. (Fontinued Tomorrow.) (Copyright. 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

He has a pair of roller skates and ice skates he bought with his own mon ey.” Sadie Welssman of East St. Louis told how a family debt was lifted by thrift: South of East St. Louis near Oa hokia lives Miss Reble and her blind 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 her tiills." The writer of the prize story was 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, or. If the children prefer, they may have hooks instead of money prizes. “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.

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.
