The Teenln Weenies received thlH letter ono morning and you can well In-live tliey
Were mm-h i xi lied and pleased.
"What ii dear little Kill!" exclaimed the I.iuly of FuHlilon when tha letter had ,been
rend.
"Let's bo," cried (he Dunce, turnliiK a hnnd.-ipiinfr In hla exrltement.
"Sure! Coiik; on. po," cried wveral of tho Tenln WeenleH.
"Ah, tlilillestirku!" cried (!randin, "We can't gn and llvo wllh Mk folks. Tin y'd
h romin' around looking and Hlarln' at uh llk If we were In a aldealinw. We'd have
to do jimt as they wanted ua to do and we wouldn't have any more Independence than an
nil day Murker."
"Whal'a him Indeplendi iie ?" nuked the Chinaman.
"Why, independence meaim freedom," nair (irandpa. "We'd have to nnk perniiRnlon
every lime we wanted to unie.e.""
"Mo no Hiieeze vely often," argued tho ('hlti.iinnn, who rather wanted to so und lli
In the liltle house.
"Ye yellow tonie.it!" hellowed Hiatidpn, waving hla cimn over hla head In Ills mice.
"Yon haven't got any mine solne than n Jelly fish!"
"Allie same me no Jill V linli!" cried tlm Chinaman, waving 1 1 Ik anna exiilv.liy. "Me
('liin.'iiii.tiiH and me pluiid of it, too."
'"I.adicn and g- ntn!" Hhimt. it the Uniice, who had climlied to the top of a hlg inufh
room. '-.rinimlnie I irlitnia! Think w hat a great chance thl ifi to ho warm and
com i oincnnifortahle I hlx winter. Think. Iiidiea and genm. what thlH nieanw! N'othln' to
do hot sleep and eat chocolate drops and cookies and ice cream and i vei thing. No
work, Jimt fun and play and Hitting m-ound lh electric stove. "
"Hooray!" ahoulid hi vi ral of tho Tcenio Weonjea. ,ho had gathered aiminil tha
Iunce.
1'I.adleH and genta," continued the Tiunce, "U'h goln' to lie a cold winter, ami think
how woil ahlver when the cold und Htmw IiIowh through the cno-I a of our atraw Hliautlea,
with nothln' to keep ua warm hut thlmhli- atuVea. We have hardly enough i lot hen io
keep ua warm and nothing hut rags to cover our ftt. Kay, Jimrninie fiahliookH, let a go
and llvo wlih thla kind hearted little girl."
When thi Dunce had flniHhed hia apeech he Jumped off the mushroom and the 'Jeperal
alepped out In front of the circle of Tei nie WeenleH.
."F'rlenda," he aald, "there la much truth in what the Dunce haa said. We are going
to have a mighty hard winter. We may lie cold many times nnd there may he tim. a when
wo will go hungry. Wo are poor and the opportunity of living In lite doll's house thla
winter aeems mighty good: hut, frit-nda, there la another aide, and I think you ought to
consider it. Aa you know, It ia iulte dangerous for such llttla folks as we are to live with
hig people. If a hook should fall on one of us thero would be nothing left hut a Ti enla
Weenie greiiHe spot. We would have to do Just as the little girl and her frlmnlH wanted ua
to do, for we would ho living in her houao and we would have to do as she asked, no
matter whether we wanted to or not."
"That's right. That's right,' 'cried Orundna.
"Now", friends," Hald the (icncral, "you haven't heard hoth sides of this quoHtlon ami I
want you to think the matter over. Boine of you want to go and others don't. Think
It over carefully and this evening we will vote on the matter."
While the Teenle WecnicH diMcuHseil the iiieMtion the Old Soldier, the U.-nertl, and
Paddy linn made arrangements for the election They pilntnl tiny hnllots, which were
handed to each of the little people.
When the Teenle Weenies had marked their hall"ts .Ii to whether they w .lilted to gi
and live with the little fill or not they dropped them throui-h the worm hole of an imply
hh korv nut.
H was miite dark when the voting wan over. and. as the Te nie Weenies had no
lamps and only a few candh s, It was dei iuVil to wrot and count the votes in the m-.ining
When the nut was cracked next morning horror i horrors' - .i worm in.-ido had eaten
all the votea!
