THE BEAUFORT NEWS THU RSDAY FEB. 24, 1927. PAGE THREE Daddy's ?4 LVeiii Fairy Tale W GRAHAM BONNER MEAN MEASLES AGAIN No one seemed to be noticing hlra. So Je decided he had a good chance. It was when no one was noticing him that he hurried about to do his very, rej-y naughty work. Toa've heard of hlra before. His name is Wean Old Measles. Now It was during the Christmas season when every one was busy that he thought he would Just do a good, old mean trick. That was the way he spoke of it Any one else would have said a bad, old mean trick. But not Mean Old Measles. He speaks and thinks and acts differently from others. His friends are all mean, too. One of his friends Is Mumps, another Is Susy Sneeze and another Carrie Cough; the Tonsil Twins are his friends when they cause trouble, and a number of others. Of course, he Is not even friendly enough to talk and play and have a good time with his friends. They simply are his friends because they are mean, too. Not because they go around together or see each other. . So Mean Old Measles decided he would pick out a very nice small boy this time and pay him a holiday visit "I'll go and see him at Christmas time," he said, and his mean old face looked meaner than ever as he spoke to himself. "There Is Edward Junior and I've never called on him before. I think I will go and see him and give him a Christmas present of the Measles." Now you can see for yourself what a mean old creature he is when that Is his idea of a Christmas present. So he went and called on Edward Junior and he took the Measles In his 1 He Went and Called on Edward Junior. always) Edward bag (he had an extra supply and scattered them around Junior. Edward Junior felt poorly. He did not quite know why. He did not quite know the reason for it. But soon he was told that he had the Measles. And it was so nice In his lovely home in the country that to have measles seemed so mean, so very mean. He wondered If -Santa Ciaus was afraid of Measles. Some people were because they got Measles when they went near any one who had them or went Into a house where there was Measles. But Edward Junior had one of the nicest Christmases in his life and he . had had several of them. "For Santa Claus had been more generous than ever. Santa Claus had come the night before Christmas and he had heard about Edward Junior's Measles. "Well, Santa Claus never has to stay away . on account of any sick ness, for he had every single child's sickness years and years and years and years ago when he was a child, and now he can't have any of them. , "But he knows what they're like and he's just going to see that Ed ward Junior has the best Christmas In his life. And also his little brother Robert." ' That was what Santa said. Santa could not stop the Measles from visiting the two boys. Little Robert celebrated New Year's Eve by geting them. He was not, so his fath er said, going to be outdone In any thing by his big brother! But even though Mean Old Measles came to the house where Edward Junior and Robert lived with their mother and daddy, Christmas came more gaily and gloriously and .gener ously than ever. Santa Claus could not be shoved out of the way by Mean Old Measles' or any one. Never. Never. Never I No Room Left "Oh, dear," said Helen as the 'des sert came on. "Mamma, why didn't you tell me there was Ice cream for dinner?" '.' "What difference does It maker asked mother. ' "Oh; lots," said Helen with a sigh. "I wouldn't have wasted my stomach on that other stuff."' Capper's Weekly. Liquid Measure Teacher Johnny, what Is it called when four persons are singing?

" Nothing Risked Nothing Made." is dangerous doctrine for, carried to its last analysis, it means The more you risk, the more you make, which we readily realize cannot be true as a rule. There are times when good opportunities come to the man, who has money in the bank to.make'invest ments where the risk is small and the" chance of profit is reasonably large. The best way is to keep your money in the bank until one of these opportunities presents itself. We pay 4 per cent while you are waiting, if left as long as three months. Beaufort Banking & Trust Co.
