the edge of the Green Meadow*
and Miart across to his snug little
home lie would liuve to watch for
Iteddy or old Granny Fox. but Just
now he felt safe and it was a very
good feeling Indeed.
Being at last on the right side of
the Laughing Brook Danny felt
that he had earned a rest, hut hav
ing the wisdom of long experience
he first looked for u place where he
could rest in safety. Just a few
feet from the end of the log on
which fie crossed the Laughing
Brook was another old log. At
once Danny scampered over to it,
for he long ago learned that old
logs are quite likely to be hollow,
and when they are they make the
very finest retreats in all the Great
World for timid little people who
wish to keep out of sight.
Just as he hoped, this old log
was hollow and the only entrance
was through an old knot hole bare
ly big enough for Danny to squeeze
through. Making sure that no one
else was there. Dntin., squeezed In
and promptly forgot nil tils recent
troubles and was happy, which for
tunately Is the way of the little
people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows. If It were
not they would know very little
happiness
in two minutes Danny was fast
asleep. How long he slept lie didn't
know, but suddenly he was wide
awake. He heard nothing, hut he
had a feeling of uneasiness. He
crept to the entrance and peeped
out. The moonlight lay full on the
old log across the Laughing Brook
and even as he looked a slim dark
form leaped up on the farther end
and began to run swiftly across
with nose close to the old log.
It was Billy Mink, and Danny
knew Billy’s wonderful nose had
found his scent somewhere on the
other hank, and that It would lead
Billy straight to the hollow log.
And so It happened It was scarce
ly a minute before Billy’s nose
was poked In at the knot hole and
Billy took one long snllT. “Ah, ha."
said Billy. “So this is where you

Danny sold nothing, nut he began
to shake as with the cold. It was the
chill of fear. He was trapped.

SAM
By ANNE CAMPBELL
SAM is an officer walking our
beat.
No one could live on a quieter
street.
If there were a riot, our Sammy
would quiet
The riot, and never disturb our re
pose.
Each child in our street when he
goes to sleep, knows
He's under a special policeman’s
good care!
Sammy is there!
And many a child on our street
when he prays
Says: “Please God, bless Sam,
’cause he has to sleep days!”
While children are sleeping, his
watch he is keeping,
And sleeping is better because we
have Sam.
The children sleep on if they hear
a door slam.
He tnkes all the grief that they
might have to bear!
Sammy is there!
Sometimes the dear children drift
off into dreams,
And thinking of God, and of Sam
my. it seems
That some one who’s thinking of
others, unwinking.
And thinking not once of himself,
is so fine
He must have a lot In his heart
that’s divine.
So the children sleep tight, and
the whole night is fair!
Sammy is there!

HOUSEWORK A HARD JOB
«* O TIME to do that? Why,
you have all the time in the
world. Nothing to do all day long,
except a little thing like keeping
house!"
Howr many women have been
told that by their husbands! And
how many have answered, “Just
try it for a day and see if it’s noth
ing !” without much apparent ef
fect.
Well, one man has tried it. Be
ing unemployed, he thought he
would do his wife’s little job of
housework while resting. And now
he wonders, and has voiced his
wonder, how his wife ever stood it
The man is Iteuban Greene of
Wauwatosa, Wis. Up to not so
long ago, or all the time he was em
ployed at his regular work, he was
one of those husbands who thought
his wife had nothing to do. House
work, in his opinion, was just an
other kind of resting, another name
for play or vacation. But he has
changed his mind. This is what he
wrote to a Chicago newspaper:
"The depression has done me a
lot of good Believe me, 1 always
thought the women had a cinch
pushing a broom around and flip
ping a rug over the furniture. 1
was right guard on my college
team in the days when a guy had
to weigh 225 pounds to be consid
ered a candidate, and I find it no
cinch.
"How my little wife ever got
away with that job! She must have
a constitution like a turtle. Well,
anyway, the depression has taught
me to value and appreciate my
wife. I’ve lost 35 pounds and know
how to shake a wicked mop.’’
Experience teaches. Enough said!
