AO A"irp*l Story For Little PolKs Mr. Bear Is Duped I On a very warm spring day, when the woods were more attractive than the dusty highroad, Mr. Fox and Mr. Bear, who at that time were great [ chums, set out to pay a call on the barnyard dog. They had dressed them- i ' selves in their best Sunday clothes, for Miss Barnyard Dog was a great 1 belle at that time nnd also knew the j { way into the hen yard and had been known to treat her friends to many chicken dinners. As they trudged | along both began to grow very hot and dusty, and the tine clothes they wore did not help to make them more comfortable. Mr. Fox began to won der how he could get rid of that heavy coat of his, for it made bim weary to 1 carry it. "I have it," he whispered to him- ' self. "Make old man Bear carry It for me." "I say!" he said to Mr. Bear. "Bet you a ham bone I can run to the stump in the woods over by the pond, back of Farmer Brown's, in five min utes." "Taken," said Mr. Bear. "You can't do it." ( "Carry my coat and I'll show you," cried Mr. Fox. Mr. Bear meekly took the coat and ] Mr. Fox was off on the Jump. He ran I HE CAME LUMBERING ALONG. 4 through the meadow past the bill, 1 down the valley Into the wood. Jumped ' Into the pond and had a good eool ' bath, smoothed out his bair nicely, put on his clothes, and then, seating him self on the stump near the cool trees, he waited for Mr. Bear. "Rather warm," remarked Mr. Fox. "You seem weary." "Tired to death," Jerked Mr. Bear crossly, "but I won the ham bone." "Excuse me, Brother Bear," said Mr. Fox cunningly, taking his coat and starting for Miss l>og's; "it's no race. You forgot to take the time of start ing," and, with a wink, he was off. Boys and girls, don't forget to look after the little matters in life and be very careful who is your partner.? Pittsburg Dispatch. f\r> Story For L-ittlg Folhs TheDisobedient Mice Two contrary little mice, in dis obedience to their parents' orders, left their home one day for a stroll through the world. They had not gone far when they came across a plate of nice cool milk. "Ah!" cried Tommy Mouse, "isn't I this fine? I told you we knew more about the world than our parents. See j what we have found!" j "Y'es," replted Jimmy Mouse, "If we had listened to our parents we would have stayed at home and gone hun Jtr.v." , Then they both fell to drinking the milk and drank and drank until they J ( "IT WOULD I)E A SHAME TO LEAVE IT." could hardly drink auy more. And yet there still remained hulf of the milk In the plate. "You had better trot along home." ; Bald Mr. Rat, who passed Just then. "I see the cats coming this way." "No, It would be a shame to ruu away and leave all this nice milk." ; said Jimmy. "I guess he doesn't know any better than our parents." "I don't believe he does," said Tom- j my. So they kept on drinking until they rolled over exhausted. And Just then two largo gray cats came In the door. "Let's run," said Jimmy In a weak ! voice. "I'm so full I can't move," replied j Tommy feebly. "So am I," added Jimmy, with a algh. And those were the last words of the poor little disobedient mice.?Atlanta Constitution. FOR THE CHILDREN A Spoonful of Fqb, From Germany, tbe laud of whole hearted Jollity, comes the tirst, called "a spoonful of fun." The players form a circle, holding hands, and one Is placed In the center, blindfolded. He holds In hla hand a large spoon as a wand. Music Is now played or all may sing In chorus, and the ring moves around with the music. Suddenly the music ?tops, and ao do the playera, and then the blindfolded player In the center gropes about with his spoon until he touches some one In the ring, who must Iben stand perfectly still. Tbe blindfolded one now touches the other here and there with his spoon, trying by his deftness to discern who It Is that he has "caught." If the ?|>oon holder guesses correctly the "caught" pluyer takes his place In the center of the ring und the play goes on In the same way. Of course all the players try to dis guise themselves in some way, some standing oil tiptoe to appear taller, others crouching down so as not to betray themselves by tlielr height, for you will be amused to And how easy It becomes to distinguish a person merely by touching liiin with a spoon. Tbe boys cuu put tlielr handkerchiefs over their collars and turn forward the lapels of their coats, so that their shirt fronts will not betray them. Of course the object of those In the ring Is to confuse and puzzle the spoon bolder. How Xavajoes Catch I'ratrlc Doft. Although living almost wholly on game, the Navajoes cannot be prevailed upon to taste either fish or rabbit, but the Indian who would light to death sooner than touch u delicious rabbit stew Is greedily fond of the fat and i]uerulous prairie dog. That whole re gion abounds In "dog towns," and they are frequently besieged by their swarthy foes, says Golden Days. A Navajo will stick a bit of mirror In the entrance of a burrow and lie behind the little mound all day, if need be, to secure the coveted prize. When the prairie dog ventures from his bedroom, deep underground, he sees a familiar Image mocking blm at the door, and when he hurries out to confront this Impudent Intruder?whiz goes a chalcedony tipped arrow ihrough him, pinning him to the ground so that be cannot tumble back Into his home, as be has a wonderful faculty For doing even In death, or a dark band larts quickly out, seizes his chunky i neck safely beyond the reach of his chisel shaped teeth and breaks bis spine with one snap. The Snake and the Skunk. A New Hampshire version of an old Fable runs that a skunk and a rattle- i snake one day met each other and ! stopped to swap news and gossip. "I jeurd a horrid story about you the Jtlier night," remarked the serpent. "Huh," was the skuuk's reply, "I lare say I've heard It myself? I've aeard enough of them, anyhow. I'm ! tired of being painted worse than I ' nn. I intend at the next general con vention of boasts to Introduce a motion that all persons found guilty of telling lies about any of us shall be attacked ind killed. Will you support me?" "In a minute!" cried rattler. "The truth Is bod enough without adding Falsehood to It" The Spirit of Courtesy. A little girl named Bessie Is told of n Everybody's Magazine. The chill ?ad had Impressed on her the propriety >f thanking every one who did her a dndness and also of how much we ?we the various farm animals. One lay at dinner she looked at her egg For some moments without eating It ind then slipped quietly from ber lhair. "Where are you going?" her mother tsked. "I'm going to thank Mr. Wooster for aylng me dis nice egg," waa the an iwer. Caractacan. Caractacus was chief of a tribe of indent Britons. He lived on the river Severn, in Wales. He fought the Ro nana nine years, but was taken prls mer and sent to Rome. When he saw he grand streets and stately bnild ngs he said, "How can people who lave such magnificence at home envy ne my poor cottage in Britain?" The ?mperor pardoned him and sent him mine with presents. Why Not? "Say, ma, baby cut hlj teeth, didn't ie?" "Yes, dear." "Why can't he cut his hair, then?"? browning's Mngazlon. The Inffnenee of Dreas. When Flora puts her school dress on (It's such a pretty red). With that small frock she seems to don The very wisest head She'll learn and learn and learn and learn To spell and read and count !n turn. It really seems. I must confess. As If there's magic in that dress. When Flora wears her play day gown (It's Just the sweetest plaid). There's scarce a child in all the town Has spirits half as glad. She plays and plays and plays and plays? Rhe'd like to play all night. she says Ro can you wonder that we guess There must be magic in that dress? When Flora wears her party frock (The pale blue silk, you know). You ought to see her watch the clock Until 'tis time to go. And then her manners are so grand! It's really hard to understand. And so It seems. I must confess. As if there's magic In that dress. Suppose that play day plaid should go By some mistake to school. Then would our playful little Flo Break every single rule? Would the red frock on Saturday Make her too studious to play? I really hope. I must confess. She'll always wear the proper dress. ?Youth's Companion. STATE NEWS.

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble :an remember when It was simple Indlges lon. It Is a scientific fact that all cases of leart disease, not organic, are not only iraceable to, but are the direct result of Indi gestion. All food taken Into the stomach vhlch falls of perfect digestion ferments and iwellsthe stomach, puffing it up against the leart. This Interferes with the action of !he heart, and In the course of time that lellcate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada. O., says: I had stomach rouble and was In a bad state as I had heart trouble with It. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four nonths and It cured me.
