Irish Twin and the Dcmkey?''
The Twins slid off Colleen's back,
end ran to the spot where the camp
Had been. There, .indeed, was the
mark of a fire, and near by were
some wisps of straw. There were
the marks of horses' feet, too, and
Kileen found a white goose feather
by the thorn bush, and a piece of
broken rope.
"They were here surely," Mr. Mc
Queen said, "and far enough away
they are by this time, no doubt. It's
likely the police went after them.
They went back to the road, and
the Twins gotup again on Colleen's
back, and soon they had reached the '
near end of the bog.
' Mr. McQueen stopped. Ill be
cutting the turf here." he said, "and
the two of you can go on to Grannie
Malone's with the donkey, and bring
back the jug with yourselves. Get
along with you," and he gave the
donkey a slap.
The Twins and the donkey
started along the road. Everything
went well until Colleen spied a tuft
of green thistles, on a high bank
beside the road. Colleen loved
thistles, and she made straight for
them. The first thing the Twins
l:new they were sliding quickly
down the donkey's back, while Col
leen stood with her fore feet high
en the bank and her hind feet in the
read.
Larry, being behind, landed first,
with Eijeen on top of him. She
wasn't hurt a bit, but she was a little
scared. "Sure, Larry, but. you're
the soft one to fall on," she said as
she rolled over and picked herself
up
"I may be soft to fall on," said
Larry, "but I'm the easier squashed
tor that! Look at me now! It's out
of shape I am entirely, with the
print of yourself on me!"
Then "Whatever will we do with
Colleen?" Eileen said. "She's got
her nose in the thistles and we'll
never be able to drag her away from
them."
They pulled on the halter, but
Colleen refused to budge. Larry
got up on the bank and pushed her.
He even pulled her backward by
the tail! Colleen didn't seem to
mind it at all. She kept right on
eating the thistles.
At last Larry said, "You go on
with yourself to Grannie Malone's
tor ihe jug, Eileen, and I'll stav
here until she finishes the thistles."
So he sat down by the road on a
stone and Eileen trotted off to Gran
nie's. (Rights reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.)

WHY?
Do We Speak of "Scraping An
Acquaintance"?
(Copyright, 1120, by Th 'Whuler
Syndicate, Inc.!
A number of authorities trace
this back to the Emperor Hadri
an and an incident which is re
puted to have occurred during
his reign. According t to this
story, the emperor visited one of
the public bath? in Rome one
day and saw an old soldier scrap
ing himself with a piece of bro-'
ken bath tile. Recognizing the
soldier as a former comrade and
feeling pity for him because he
could not afford to purchase a
flesh-brush, the emperor sent him
a sum of money and some bath
ing garments. The next time
that Hadrian came to the bath he
found it filled with old soldiers,
every one of whom was indus
triously massaging himself with
a piece of tile. The emperor
caught the idea at once, but
laughed and said:
"Scrape yourselves if you wish,
but j'ou will not thereby scrape
an acquaintance with me."
Other authorities who profess
to believe that this tale has no
foundation of fact maintain that
the expression refers to the cus
tom of scraping the foot behind
in bowing, a custom which was
always followed in the formal
court f Louis XIV.

IV. How can the habit of making
puns be checked in a 15-year-old
boy ?
Do not check it. It is a harmless
habit, and though a crude form of
humor, still is a form of that most
valuable gift, humor. Laugh at the
boy's puns.

Business and Receipts.
By J. J. MI NDT.
You may bank on it that the man
,who becomes angry because you in
sist that every dealing you have
with him be placed on a business
basis is not an honest man, or he is
not a good business man one or
the other.
The man or the firm that objects
to giving you a receipt for the pay
ment of an account should be
watched.
t
It is not discreditable nor derog
atory to a man's honesty .to ask
him for a receipt for money paid,
and the man who looks upon such
a request as an inference that he is
dishonest is not a safe man to do
business with, because he does not
work along business lines, and he
is therefore quite likely to fail to
erase an account against you.
Get a receipt every time you pay
a bill and save the receipt.
The man who has an account
against you may be honest enough
but through error or eversight he
may not give you credit for a cer
tain payment, and the matter may
run along for some time or until
he his forgotten it, and you may
be compelled to pay a second time
if you have no. receipt.
Almost every man who has not
made a practice of saving receipts
has learned a lesson by having to
pay a bill twice.
So far you may have been lucky,
but you may get caught if you make
a practice of running bills and pay
ing in lumf) sums, not getting a ,
receipt. .. I

Record Crowd at Grocers'
And Butchers' Park Picnic
Retail grocers and butchers de
fied the jinx yesterday by holding
their annual outdoor frolic without
a rainfall. J. J. Cameron, secretary
cf the Omaha Retail Grocers' asso
ciation, stated that the attendance
broke all records. The attendants
took possession of Krug-park. A
program of competitive sports was
held and many prizes were distributed.
I'M THE GUY!
Raise $1 to $10.
Frank L. Weaver, attorney for
Ernest McCarthy and Carl Zuelo,
made a plea in the United States
court yesterday that his clients br
sentenced to the state reformatory
in connection with charges of hav
ing raised a one dollar bill to $!(,.
Mr. Weaver stated that McCarthy
had fjeen in juvenile court five
times.
I'M THE GUY who lives up
stairs over your head and saves all
his pounding to do Sundav morn
ing and late at night.
Why should 1 worry about how
!. will sound downstairs or bother
about times and hours just because
you have the bad luck to live under
me?
1 do odd jobs around the house
not when you want mc to, but
when 1 want to do them, and if 1
want to get up early Sunday morn
ing, or put the jobs off until 'bed
time, that's my business, not yours.
And if I find the floor the most
convenient place to use as a work
bench that's wholly my own affair
too.
If I stopped to think, about you
every time I wanted to drive a nail
or flatten out a piece of tin or put
a box together, I'd never get any
thing done, because I don't want to
waste my regular hours in working
when I can find something better to
do.
If you ask my advice, I'll say don't
go to bed until I'm all through, and
then yoti won't be disturbed.

And when Sonnie joined the

inisi on knowing
wmi ifour Brad oomos
CAN'T you remember years ago, "when, one day
in June, you1 graduated from school, and Dad
said: "Son, come along to town with me
and we'll stop in to see Mr. Smith about that
-job he has for you"? And do you recall
those few drops of tears on Mother's face, as you and
Dad started out together t That was Mother's first
realization that her boy had really grown up.
Is it any wonder then that Mother had those almost
superhuman results with her baking that day that she
found untold comfort in her work ! She had lived in
rich anticipation of this hour. Mother wanted to see
Sonny make good; her every thought was of him; and
in kneading her bread she gave him her every wish.
She put love, ambition, determination and courage into
every loaf such bread Mother had never made before.
And Sonny's lunch was fit for a king.
And so, in making TIP-TOP .and HARD ROLL
BREADS, we try to equal those standards which your
Mother left for us. We want them to be so good that
they will bring back to you those memories of yester-'day--of
the day you took your first job downtown
that your enjoyment in them may be the greater.
