SAMMY SAUSAGE'S TRICK "Grunt, grunt," said Sammy Sausage to himself, "I've thought of a new trkk." "Let's hear it," said Brother Bacon. "Suueal, Squeal, let's hear it." 'Grunt, grunt, I would like to hear about the new trk-k," said Grand father Porky Pig. "Tell your grand father whut the new trick is. Is It some way of getting under the fence and wandering where there is more 1'ik.nI? Is it a trick of that sort?" . Xo, Grandfather," said Sammy Sai.Attge. "But I cannot teil you mv trifii." "Grunt, grunt," said Grandfather Porky, "way can't you tell me? I sup pose it has something to do with food and so you are keeping the secret all to yourself." "Was them ever a pig who was not greedy?" asked Sammy Sausage as he twisted his tall "Never," said Grandfather Porky. "And let me never live to see the day when a pig is found to be generous. "I'd rather be thought sweet and clean than be thought generous." "You needn't worry," said Sammy Sausage, "you will never be thought any of those things. You will have those wishes granted you. In. fact they have been granted to you long before you made them." "But you're not telling us your trick," said Brother Bacon. "I said it to myself," said Sammy Sausage. "Said what to yourself?", asked Grandfather Porky. "You Won't Be Told." "I said to myself that I'd thought of a new trick," said Sammy. "But I heard you say it," said Brother Bacon. "I know you did," said Sammy Sau sage, "and for that I am sorry." "I heard you say it, too," said Grandfather Porky Pig. "Grunt, grunt. I heard you." "I know you did. too," said Sammy Sausage, "and I am sorry about that, too. "I didn't mean either of you to hear me. I didn't mean any one to hear me. I didn't Intend to share so much as my secret with anyone." "Squeal, squeal," said Brother Ba con, "how the pig nature will come out It's splendid to see it!" "Splendid." said Grandfather Porky Pig. "but I'd like to know the trick. If he didn't mean us to hear him when he was grunting happily to himself It must be a very nice greedy secret that he has. "It certainly must be," he repeated. "Yes, that's so," said Brother Bacon. Sammy Sausage grinned and squealed delightedly. "But you won't be told. he grunted. "Oh. just tell me," said Grandfather Porky. I promise I won't tell a sin gle creature." "Oh, Just tell me," . said Brother Bacon. "I promise I'll not tell any one." "Of course neither of you would tell any one else for you wouldn't share bo much as a secret," said Sammy Sausage. "What did I tell you !" exclaimed Grandfather Porky. "I knew It was a greedy secret." "Oh. Just tell me," said Brother Bacon. "Just tell me," urged Grandfather rorky. But Sammy would tell neither of them. In a little while the farmer came along with the food for the pigs. It was then that Sammy rushed as hard as ever he could and as he reached the feeding trough Just a sec ond ahead of the others he put both feet in It as well as his snout so that others would not get so much to eat and so he could have more room. This was the trick he had thought of, but th other pigs soon put a stop to this Idea by all trying the same thing, and finally having to go back to the oM way of simply putting their snouts In and getting as much as they could In the good .old way. He Saved Trouble. Teacher Robert, In your composi tion on George Washington you say he cut down a cherry tree with a saw. Don't you know he chopped it down with a hatchet? Robert Yes'm; but I didn't know how to spell hatchet. Vehicle With One Wheel. "A vehicle with three wheels Is called a tricycle and one with two wheels Is a bicycle," said the teacher.

Alvo Church Notes In some respects last Sunday was a better day for worship than some others. The weather was more pleas ant to us all. The Sunday school was well attended and a fair collec tion was read by the secretary. In two weeks we want every Sun day school boy and girl as well as the older pupils to total 186 at school and then after Supt. Coatman dis misses the school, we are going to get ourselves in "A-la-mode" order, under the direction of the twenty two young men of the Mrs. Nickel ( class. Girls, don't forget to powder your nose and the boys to comb your hair against the grain if you have to use "Stay Comb" on it. We want a beautiful picture. ! Now be honest about this little Item for consideration. The Sunday school Is doing well in coming to class work. It makes us happy to see the good attendance, but why to many refuse to remain for church services is yet a problem. If It were just the little children who depart, we might understand, but to see many of the older folks leave is be yond this pastor. If our church mem bers would manifest a good live In terest and help to dignify and grace the work, I know Alvo would stand second to none in helping to estab lish righteousness and putting the work of the church in the front ranks. Remember that a preacher can not do it all and neither does any so desire. Now do not vote for a night service, then never come. Of course, we can't help the hot weather. Let us help make the church services worth while by coming and taking some part or else shut up the doors while the hot day are upon us. Every church haB this same problem. Wonder if the Alvo Cornet band would accept an invita tion to play at the evening services? You are hereby cordially invited to furnish the music for every Sunday night service and the basket collec tions are yours for the evening. The church extended the hand of fellowship to the Oris Foreman fam ily from Valpariso and Sisttr Murtey from the Congregational church of Clay Center last Sunday morning.
