rK'VE got to aiiHWer the Rlrl'H lctl'i" SiUd the (lunenil to a Ki'ui'l' "c Teonie
Weenii'g who wcro Bitting on a c'lth pin in front of tha iook tihack one
morning eating thfir breiikfiiHt of boili-d wheut. "It's now iilinont a wt.k
Hlnne nho si'iit u the Iisllor and we mum urmwrr it without fall today."
Now, writing a Iftter lurgn nnouKh for big f.ilkH to rcail was cjulte a lot of work
for such little people an the Teenle Weenies. FliHt, they had to get a elenn piece
Of paper, eight Teenlo Weenie feet 'wide and ten Teenle Weenie feet di ep (a Teenlo
Weenie foot la half on Inch In our measurement). Next, the paper had to lie fuMtencd
up bgalnnt a tree, where the Turk could paint the letters large enough to lie read
easily, and here is a copy of the letter Just as it" wuh written:
Pear Jean: Your lovely letter wan received by ub and we were much touched by your
kind invitation to come and live in your doll limine. Some1 of ub wanted to come and others
thought it would not be wise for such little folks as we to try and live with big people.
We put the question to a vote and when the votes were counted we found that elyht voted
to com and live with you and 16 voted to refuse your invitation.
Tho great fire, whic h destroyed all our houses and stores, has left lis very poor. We
find It very hard to get food Bometlmes and we may find our poor little grass and stick
houses quite cold when the winter sets in. If we find the weather to severe we may ask
to come and live with you If your kind Invitation Is still open.
We all send our love and thank you for your kindness.
THB TEKNIE WEENIES.
When the letter was finished It was folded into a small package and tied securely
to the Sailor's back. Tlllle Titter helped out In the delivery of the letter by carrying
the Sailor to the little girl's" house, where the note was slipped under the door.
It was about three days after the note had bcon delivered to the little girl when
the Teenle Weenies were greatly excited by receiving another letter.
It was from the same little girl and this is what It said:
My Dear Poor Teenle Weenies: I was sorry that you could not come. I am sorry for
you nil, you poor little things! I am so sorry, I am going to cook a lot of nice things for
you on my little Icctic stove. I will cook the things and put it on a plate out under the
lilac bush in our back yard. It will be all ready there for you Thursday afternoon at
3 o'clock. Don't forget to come and get them. Kisses and love. JEAN.
, "Whoople!" shouted the Dunce, waving his hat. "We're goln' to get something
besides w heat to eat."
All the Teenle Weenies were excited and they did nothing but chatter about the
little girl and the things they were goInK to get until Thursday morning, when they
set out for her home. It was a great distance to her home and it was almost 3 o'clock
when they arrived at the lilac bush. Sure enough, the plate was there, all covered
tvllh a clean napkin, and lu'J the little people lifted It I hey found six small cookies,
ii mi uuage nil crisp and brown, and a-big chocolate drop. On the chocolate drop was
a liny note for the I-ndy of Kashlon.
"We must scrub the plain mid leave It nice and clean," said the happy Lady of
Fashion.
"That's light, quite right," answered the Ji-ncral. "(let some water, boys, and
we'll leave this plate as clean at a pin. Where's the Dunce? I haven't seen lilm for a
long time."
"lie left us back there on the big road," s:ild the (Ion. "lie said he was tired."
"Is that so?" growled the General. "We'll just leave the plate as we found It
iiid we'll make him come back and scrub It all by himself. He's got to do his share of
the work."
Two of the strongest Tefnle Weenies carried the sausage, while the six cookies
Were carried on the backs of six Teenle Weenie men.
The Chinaman boosted the chocolate drop onto the top of bis Teenle Weenie head
and marched along as easily as If It had been a feather.
As the little people walked toward home over an ash heap, they came across the
txy Dunce sitting on a stone.
The fieneral gave the lazy fellow a much deserved scolding and sent him off to
clean up tho plate. "See that you do a good Jb, loo," said the fnern1.
Tho Dunce shuffled off towards the place where Ihe plate stood, but In a sur
prisingly short time he Joined the marching Teenle Weenies.
"Have you cleaned the plate already," said the General In great surprise.
"T-Y-Yes, s-slr, it's clean, but I didn't dean it," answered the Dunce.
"Well, how in the name of i gnat's eyebrow did you get It clean so soon?" asked
the astonished Oieneral.
"I saw a dog on my way back and lie licked the plate off for me," grinned the
Dunce.
"Great beaver!" shouted the General. "That's a fine way to clean a plate. Now
you go right back there and wash that plate. Scrub It, and I'm going to send the
Policeman along to see that you do a thorough Job."
The Teenle Weenies had a great feast In their Utile huts that night and everybody
enjoyed the delicious food, but poor Grandpa, that ancient gentleman, having lost bis
false teeth In the fire, could eat nothing solid.
"It mighty good. Grandpa." cried the Dunce, biting into a big piece of sausage.
"So's tho angels. So's the angels," growled the old fellow as he dipped Into a
cherry seed bowl of gruel. "
