She lad been nuking a est! on her old friend Aunt Polly Woodchuck, the lierb doctor, who lived under the riill. They hid talked over all the rev-i in the neij'.J-KsrJiood. And 7 I - w ' . I ,ommon oense More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE I 'That iima must have a fomiln." 0 iL...Ai i Mrs. Wooikiiuck had her mind on sonic gosMj) that Aunt Tolly had told her. OthcrwUo she might have noticed sooner that old dog Spot had spied hi-r. If he hadn't spoken he would cer tainly have caught her that time. Tor Mrs. Woodchuck was f;it and couldn't run as fast as she used to. But when Spot's keen nose caught a scent that told him there was one of the Woodchuck family not far away he just had to give one long drawn howl. When Mrs. Woodchuck heard that dreadful sound she scurried for home. She dropped her kittting and the apple that Aunt Polly had given her. And she only managed to pop down the hole that was her front door with Spot scarcely a length be hind her. "Just missed herl" the old dog yelped. "How unlucky!" "Just escaped!" Mrs. Woodchuck gasped. "How fortunate!" She knew that she was safe. So she took her own time in crawling through the long hall that led to her one-room dwelling. "Dear met" she exclaimed as she entered her underground home and saw that it was empty. "Mr. Wood chuck. and Billy are away. I must hjirry and warn them that old dog Spot is prowling about the pasture." Meanwhile Spot lingered at Mrs. Woodchuck's front door. He scratched in the dirt that was thrown tin hftrre if H tniffpH r.f the tracks that the Woodchuck family had made all about. v- "I know now where that fat Mrs. Woowchuck lives," he growled. "I'll keep an eye on this hole. Some day I may be able to get between her and her home. And then "He did not finish what he was saying, but licked his lips as if he had just en joyed a hearty meal. "For a long time Spot waited there. He couldn't hardly have ex pected Mrs. Woodchuck to come out and invite him to enter her house. The most that she was likely to do would be to creep out quitely to the upper end of her front hall and peer out to see what she could through the small round opening. "That dame must have a fam ily," Spot thought. "I'd . like to meet them Whether there's one youngster or seven. The more the merrier for me." If Spot had happened to look around just then he would have had his wish granted. - Or if the wind had been blowing the other way he could have told, without . looking around, that Mrs. Woodchuck's son Billy was gazing at him, with popeyes, from behind a near-by hummock. He had meandered homewards, pausing here and there to hip off jl clover head or tear at a plantain leaf, little dreaming that old Spot was right in his dooryard. When he caught sight of the un welcome caller, Billy, sat up and took one good, long look at him. Then Mrs. Woodchucks son 'turned and ran down the hillside as fast as his short legs would carry him. He didn't stop until he had reached the fence between the pas ture and the meadow. Dashing in among the brakes that grew . deep along the fence he cowered under the cover that they gave him. ' All at once he .felt quite ashamed of himeself. "I almost forgot the rule!" he chattered. "The rule says, "When there's a Dog about, warn every body!" r.

WHY WE DISCIPLINED PANAMA Defore the late mixup, when nobody thought That war wai a rough as reported, ThoiiKh bantam weight nations quite frequently fought, They seldom were hindered or thwarted. Dig countries looked on with good humored applause, Great statesmen observed 'cm, delighted. They found in the picayune fracas no cause I'or growing alarmed or excited. The people were jaded and weary of peace, And a hot little scrap in the tropics Was hailed by the world as a welcome release From sport and society topics. Reporters and artists were hastily sped To feature each sortie or action, And all of the details the populace read With grins of profound satisfaction. Rut now, when republics, no matter how small, Indulge in belligerent banter, We stand 'cm both up, with their backs to the wall And jell them to stop it, instanter. We seize all the hardware we find in their jeans, And if they continue to riot, We send down a half dozen husky marines To lock 'cm all up till they're quiet. Tor we, for the present, have had enough war, We arc sated with fury and passion, The sacking of cities and shedding of gore Has gone, for the nonce, out of fashion. And that's why we leap, in our anger and might, On the neck of the little brown brother. We haven't recovered, as yet, from one fight, And we don't want him starting another. PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY Why not set the army of unemployed at the job of cutting down prices? HE'S ALWAYS IN THE MARKET Maybe, if we disarm, Henry Ford .will offer us a couple of hundred dollars for our battleships and arms and ammunition. BAD SIGN Times are really getting serious.

Why talk so much about your past misfortune. You take the good .things of life as a matter of course, and if per chance you have a backset, you talk about it unceasingly. Everyone has painful experiences, bitter disappointments, but is it nec essary to sit down and pity your self and bore others with your sour looks and baleful tales t Think about the things which brought you joy. Be so happy that you will be in condition to see fortunate circum stances when they do appear. When your mind and face are warped out of shape groaning oyer spilt milk and nursing forebdding thoughts, you are losing time in get ting to see the pleasant things which are for you to find. . Life is not a "baby-game," where everything good is handed to yon. Don't you feel better for using ycur own eyes and ears, and your own efforts, to discover the good things which are hidden?

The mobt celebrated round robin in the English lannuafic originated at a dinner at the house of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the famous rortrait painter, in London. Anioi:g those present were Edmund liurke, Ed ward Gibbon and others celebrated in the world oi letters, all of whom were friends or acquaintances of Oliver Goldsmith. The epitaph writ ten for the beloved poet by l)r. Sam uel Johnson became the topic of con versation and various ch.atiucs were suggested, which, it was agreed, should be submitted for the doctor's consideration. But the ouestiou .-rose as to who would have the cour age to propose them to him, and it was agreed that there could be no way as good as that of the "round robin." The document was drawn up and signed, in a circle, by a!', present, requesting him to amend tiie epitaph to Goldsmith in Westmin ster Abbey and suggesting that it be written in English ' iiulcad oi Latin. Despite his fierv and dis tinctly obstinate disposition, Dr. Johnson accepted the round robin in the spirit in which it was intended Dog Hill Paragrafs " ' Uy George Bingham Fii.by Hancock took hi fidJItf this muniiug" and went out behind the stable and practiced on the piece he is going to play at the next dance, the name of which is "The Tune the Old Cow Died On."

Where It Started "Bitter End." This phrase originated at the tune of the Civil war, when a party was formed to tight the war to the "Hit ter End." The probable derivation of the phrase is found in the Bible, Proverbs v. 4: "Hut her end is bit ter as wormwood."
