THE SUNDAY r.KE: OMAHA, OCTOHKR 13, 1U22. G Rfifii. U.S. PAT. OVe. FRec?, ths twins' pgt pinching "Well wo can't II vu In thin old Jug nil winter," said the General, looking toward the Jug where the Teenlo Weenies had been living slueo the fire had doKtroyed their little village. "It is too iliirk, and bcHldos-it will Im ton cold when the winter days come on. We've got to find a place and get some sort of it hotino hiiilt or the firm thing wo know it will be Knowing," "Why not build houses like tny lieople?" cried Zip, the little wild num. "My people build liouwH out of sticks and grass, Much nice and warm In winter, niueh nieo and eool In summer." "That'B u good Idea," cried the (lenerul. "Wo can build houses like that eaaily. Wo won't need tools, and we ran get all the grass and Micks we want without much trouble." It wan decided to build several houses along both Hides of a little tttreet. There was to bo one house for the men, one for the women, u kitchen and dining room, and a small house for Mr. and Mrs. Dover and, the Twins. Tho Turk had made several big knives oittof pins by hammering them flat, sharpen ing one edge. When handled had been put on the, knives tin y wjye useful in cutting the dry grass for the houses. Some of tho Tcenle Weenies gathered great hunches of grass, while others brought In many strong twigs and sticks. Fortunately the Clown found an old pack of playing cards, and these were used to help make a roof over the tiny houses. The place chosen for the village was a pretty little spot near the tiny creek, for It was most necessary to have water near. ' All the little xople were mighty busy for many weeks. Some of tho Teenlo Weenies had to hunt for food each day, mid sometimes tho poor little folks had nothing to eat but a crust of dry bread, for everything they owned had been destroyed by tho fire. Paddy 1'inn set to work making shoes for the village out of an old kid glove which he found. The Tecnle enie women, led by the Lady of Fashion, worked day and night making clothes, knitting mucking and underwear, and making old handkerchiefs and rags into bed dothes. They worked very hard poor little things. In nVlte of the loss of their homes and possessions the Teenle Weenies were quite cheerful. "What's the use of cryiu' over a spilt ice cream soda?" said the Old Soldier. "It dorttn't help a thimbleful." Pay after day the Teenle Ween tea worked on their tiny house. They sang and ""Joked and had all the fun they could to cheer them up. Ono day tho Chinaman made the little people Jaugh until they could hardly stand on their tiny feet, nnd it was all becuuse he grew so very angry. Several of the Teenio Weenies were putting up tho framo work for one of the houses. The Chinaman was holding a ladder, pn hlch tho Turk was standing, tying to gether two of the heavy sticks, when one of the Lover Twins came along, leading his pet pinching bug, Fred. Now Fred had always disliked the Chinaman for some reason or other, and as tho Twin led him by he suddenly made a Jump toward the Chinaman and caught the little fellow by the leg In his big pinchers. The Chinaman dropped the ladder and began yelling at tho top of his voice. The Turk, of course, fell off the ladder and dropped Into a catsup bottle top full of tar, which tho Old Soldier was fixing to paint the roofs of the houses. Tho tar splashed over the Iady of Fashion and Mrs. Dover, who were passing at the time, and the Old Soldier received several spots In his long beard. The General soon drove tho bug off with a long stick he happened to have In his hand. The Chinaman wasn't hurt, but he was thoroughly frightened and terribly angry. He Jumped up and down and shouted In such a funny way the Teenle Weenies were fairly doubled up with laughter. "Ginlky Jim Oee! Ded bug, cockroach! Gosh!" shouted the little fellow in his wrath. "That old plinchln' bug allio time bitln'. Mo gona get thimble full of hot water and give hlin one blig scald.' Hug no good but for to bite Chinnnmns. Him no ought be al lowed 'round bitln" Chinaman's. Chinamuna no like to bo blted." "I unite agree with you, Chuck," said the Ocnernl. "I'll see that tho bug Is tied up." Some of the Teenlo Weenies noticed that the Dunce, who had been knocked over by one of the fallen sticks, was lying on tho ground where he fell, but when they ran over to him, thinking he had been hurt, they found him fairly shaking with laughter. "O say, but that was funny!" said tho Dunce, sitting up and rubbing a bump on hi head. "I'd take that tunble all over Just to see the Chinaman get mad again."
