Clarence Burdge. One day the two boyt were play ing together. Ihey were piayinft marbles. Clarence saw Robert cheating, but he did not say any thing as he did not want to fight Soon after Robert was quite ill. Clarence came to see him. He said to Robert: "Do you know why God made you sick?" Robert said, "No." "If yon would not have wanted to fight with all your friends and cheat and if you had been a good boy, ycu would be as healthy as I am." After his talk with Clarence he resolved to be good. The next day he began to get better. When he got well enough to go to school he played. One boy got bold enough lo accuse him of cheating when he really did not, but Robert did not 'ht, instead he just quit playing. VVen FeaRins, 2808 N. 30th St., Omaha, Nebraska. A Happy Group.

Is it Possible That Monkeys ; Will Ever Become Men? There is no great future for the race of monkeys simply ' because they are so far behind today that they have lost the race forever. Thousands and thousands of years have passed since man became mas ter of the world once and for all. All other creatures are more and more coming under his will wisely or unwisely. There are four kinds of ' monkeys that form a special group of their own and are called man-like. Two of these exist in the ,Congo forest and will probably soon be come extinct The other two live in Malaysia and their fate, though probably not quite so near at hand, will doubtless be the same. TIPrVXAT) Before the war ended they were talking at the table one niiht about meatless and wheatless days. Bobby listened very closely. That night several cats selected a spot just be low his window to have a fight. The next morning when he came down to breakfast Bobby said: "Well, I guess we are going to have sleepless nights, too." "1 am sorry your little boy is sick. He was so delighted with the water melon that I let him have an unusu ally large portion of it." "Well, he is no longer delighted; he is melon-cholic." a. a n 15 ! (4 d Dot Puzzle v 7-41 I v Trace the dots within this space, See a with funny face..

"I just wish father'd scold," said Patience dolefully, one noon as she and her sister had kissed him good bye and he had sighed even more re gretfully than usual. "I know he liked our hair, but we ought to be brave in times of 'fliction. Course he cared but " "But he don't know we're game squaws, does he? interrupted Pru dence earnestly. "Jack said all the Indians thought we were game not to holler when Donald cut off our hair and not to tell, on him after wards. Sure, father'd be proud of us if he only knew that, wouldn't he?" "I s'pose so, but he says he misses our hair like ev'rything, an I heard him tell' auntie to let us go to all the girls' parties, T , 'cause well, I don't 'member why" 1 "We're to take our dolls today to the- party, aren't we? Let's dress em." Soon the children were seated on the floor with their dolls and a pile of dolls' clothes near them. ; "Did you know you're going to a 34 . t . 3i 37 39 40 4 47 45 AX 50 4-3 13 51' S3 54- 65 12 .3 . a 9 10 e 4 ex 6 bo and that meant a good time for Go- good lime. have much fun.

"Let mamma dress you, she whispered. "You can wear your pretty blue dress. Oh I You little precious 1" she later ex claimed in delight when the doll was dressed to her perfect satisfac tion. "Is your child ready. Miss Trevellyn?" she asked her sister. "Yes, thank you, but Susanna's not very well today, and I think she'd better stay at home," answered Pru dence, imitating her elders, who had used a similar expression in regard to herself. "I'm sure my daughter will be pleased to take care of your child and see that she does not run her self all out of breath children are so so unresponsible, don't you think so?" "Yes, they are," drawled the other little mother. "My child often has it." She had no idea what the word meant, but she wished her doll to have any fashionable ailment. "I don't know whether Susanna's well 'nough to go to the party or not?" "Oh, I'd let her go if I were you," urged Prudence. Just then Aunt Sallie came to dress the girls. Are the dolls all ready?" she asked kindly. "How pretty they look," she continued, as each was held up for inspection. At these words of praise the small mothers' faces dimpled with happi ness and its afterglow still lingered as they started down the street to the party, wheeling their go-carts. "Piggy" Runt had thrown himself, down disconsolately behind the back terrace. He was decidedly out of sorts. Every warrior in the tribe of Go-Hawks, at least so it seemed to him, had gone fishinsr that after noon, while he had to stay at home to run errands and pick pansies for a girls' party. Piggy's younger sister was giving the party and he was invited. But what had a warrior like Piggy to do With e1fo' f t-J TT" 1 I. mffnlm ... .....Ii.' parties? He scorned the invitation and stubbornly refused to . change his clothes on the eventful after noon. His mother, therefore, had decreed that he should remain at home in the back yard, so that he might easily- be found when needed. He was instructed to carry in ; the ice cream freezer when called to do so, but the cook had her orders to give to him neither the spoon nor the dasher to scrape, and if there was anything Piggy liked it was ice cream. Even Napoleon had gone whist ling by, grinning apishly over the back fence at Piggy. "They say fish'n's awful good today," he called pleasantly as he passed. (Copyright by David McKay.

Peter and I are going over to Mary Anne Wright s to a Hallowe'en party tomorrow evening and Mary Anne told me to bring some popcorn balls. One of the other girls is to bring popcorn balls, too, Mary will furnish the taffy, the boys will bring the apples and cider and we expect to have a simply great lime, were s the way i make Popcorn Balls. ' Measure out four cunfuls of com after it is popped and be sure to pick out the largest and best ker nels. Take one and one-half cuns of sugar and one-half cupful of water, put in a pan and cook until when you drop the syrup from a spoon it forms a long hair-like thread. Do not stir. Take from the stove and pour over the popcorn. Mix it together with a fork. When the pop corn kernels are well covered with the syrup grease your hands with a little butter and mold the corn into balls. This recipe should make about eight or ten balls. S. P. C T. T.

I hone you have been care' ful to cut out the part of our little play published each Sunday. If you have, then read it an over today, oe cause it is a real Hallowe'en play, called "THE LOST FIREWOOD." (Cintinued from Last Sunday.) (When scene is clear, Jelf comes down stage and capers about, throw inn up his can and jigging joyfully. The Widow stretches and yawns and then rises stiflly.) WIDOW MURPHY. (Remembering her troubles and scolding herself briskly.)

One can fair see tile sweetness peepln' through! The Joke Is on the Dunce. Of course, there was a Hallowe'en party under the rose bush. The Lady of Fashion, Mrs. Guff, Mrs. JLover, the three Guff sisters and Josephine Bone saw to that. I be little ladies planned for sev eral days for the party, and they dec orated the school house until the old hat looked mighty pretty. Colored leaves and bits of golden- rod were used for decorations, and several nanasome caterpillar skins were thrown over benches to helo give the place a homely appearance. ., ine J-ady ot rashion and Mrs. Lover baked half an English walnut shell full of doughnuts, and the Cook ; carried three thimbles full of cider over to the old hat. Gogo, the Old Soldier, and Paddv Pinn furnished the music for the dancing, and the little fellows were kept quite busy during the whole evening. "Say, Cook, have you got a bucket or thimble or something that's empty?" asked the Turk, as he popped his head into a little closet where the Cook kept- the refresh ments. "Why, yes, here's an empty thim ble," answered the Cook, pointing to a thimble which sat in the corner. "What in the name of cherry seeds are you goin' to do with it?" "I'll tell yon and let you in on the fun if you promise not to tell," said the Turk. "Cross my heart and hope to choke on a grape seed if I tell," grinned the Cook. "Well, I was standing by the front door a little while ago and I over heard the Dunce and the Clown plan ning to play a joke, and I thought it would be fun to get the joke on them. The Dunce has a Jack o' Lan tern which be made out of an acorn, m3i :i'p."y (She stoops lower as she suddenly catches the golden glitter at bot tom.) Faith and what's that so blight? 0!4!

(Not noticing the presence of Jelf. she goes about searching the Forest thoroughly and ending bv standing for some time, with her hands shad ing her eyes, as she looks earnestly and he's planning on scaring the girls with it. So I thought it would be a lot of fun to get a thimble full of water and climb out on the front porch and when they sneak up to the window with their Jack o' Lan tern we could give them both a bath." In a few minutes the Turk filled the thimble full of water and quietly made his way upstairs and out through a window on to the roof of the porch, whHe the Cook sneaked i -Hyi Vt3ir outside and waited back of the old hat Presently the Dunce and the Clown came sneaking up the front steps. The Dunce carried the Jack o' Lantern, and close behind him came the Clown.

The Policeman was knocked off his feet, and for a minute there was a shouting, kicking tangle of Teenie Weenies on the ground in front of the old hat. r The noise stopped the dance, and the Teenie Weenies came flocking out to see what had happened.
