Meanness Down't Pay. Sometimes meanness may seem to pay, but in the end it never does. No, sir, in the end it never does. The one who does a meanness niay for a while think it pays, but sooner or later he will find It doesn't pay. It was j meanness, nothing but pure mean 1 wr**, Riutrr Hear was hark in the Old Pasture. nesa (hat led Reddy Fox to try to get Buater Bear driven out of the Old Posture. There was no reason for It whatever. For two days after h* had been so badly stung by the wasps Reddy Fox had remained in hia house. He had felt too iniserable to go out. He had time to do a lot of thinking. At first he had wished with all hia might that he hadn't thought of getting Buster Bear Into trouble with those wasps. But as he began to get better he changed that wish a little. Instead of wishing that he hadn't got Bus ter Into trouble, he wished that he himself had had sense enough to keep far enough away from the scene to have avoided getting Into trouble himself. By the time Reddy was able to go nut again he had stopped wishing. Now that hia own aches and pains i were o*vr he tried to make himself believe that after all his meanness had paid. "It was my own fault that I got stung," thought Reddy. "Yes. sir, it was my own fault. Another time I wouldn't get atung. But any way I did what I wanted to do; I got Buster Bear driven out of the Old Pasture. I guess it will be a long time before he returns. It was a smart trick I played If I do say It. Buster hssn't the slightest Idea that I had anything to do with It.

These thoughts were very pleasant to Iteddy as he trotted ulong an old cow path through the bushes of the Old Pasture. He was proud of his own smartness. He was quite puffed up with pride. It was foolish pride. Yes, sir, It was foolish pride. Just how foolish It was Iteddy discovered a few minutes later. He was trotting along, still think ing how smart he had been, when his keen ears heard a sound off at one side of the old cow path that enu* ed lum to stop abruptly, lie cocked his head on one side with his two, sharp, black ears pricked up. Such a queer expression as swept over Red dy’s face as he listened to »those sounds, They were familiar. They were familiar. Softly, carefully Reddy erept through the bushes toward those sounds. At last he could sec the cause of them. Sitting up and stripping big, delicious looking blueberries from a tall bush was Buster Bear. He was a picture of happiness ami content ment. He was grunting and whining with pleasure. He appeared to have forgotten that were any little people with stings like redhqt needles. The truth Is, Buster Bear had not suffered from the stings he had re ceived nearly as much as Iteddy Fox had suffered. Buster’s skin is thick and tought. Besides, he was used to stings. More than once for the sake of honey he had stood all the stinging that Honey Bee and her friends could give him. Reddy Fox sneaked away. Yes, sir. he actually sneaked aw.15. He had suffered the pain of all those stings for nothing. Buster Bear was back In the Old Pasture. Meanness never pays. Reddy -knew It even if be wouldn't admit It. (Copyright, 1124.)

The laws of Nebraska provide that tests for defective eyesight hr made by teachers cr school nurses in all schools during the first month of each school year, and that parents he notified if any corrective treatment is necessary. These tests are, of course, very simple, so if you re 1 • ceive a notice that your child’s eyes need treatment you may HIS feel surc that he is seriously handicapped.
