CHAPTER XXI.
One Way to Keep Warm.
After making his strange wish
about Ms 18 cousins that they
would sleep straight through the
winter Dickie Deer Mouse crawled
out of bed. The sleepers filled the
chamber so full that Dickie had to
Dickie did not stay out all ni$ht
Jong-
step into the hall before he could
itrctcli himself.
For some reason he seemed to
feel unusually stretchy. Generally
when he waked up he sprang up at
once and dashed out of his house,
to nnd something to eat. But now
he had half a mind to gq back to
bed again.
He did not do that, however, be
cause he wanted td get away from
his unwelcome guests for a time. So
lie crept through his long hall and
crawled out through his front door,
into the -world above.
To Dickie's great surprise a star
tling change had come over the pas
ture. The weather had cleared
while he slept and the stars twinkled
in the heavens above him. And the
hillside pasture was white with a
thick blanket of snow.
It was cold, too much colder than
it had been when Dickie went to
sleep.
Luckily a crust had formed upon
the snow a crust that was just
.strong enough to support Dickie's
weight. And he made swiftly for
the spruce woods to hunt for his
supper, for he knew he could find
nothing on the ground, covered as it
was by the snow.
Dickie felt even hungrier than he
usually did when starting out of an
evening to look for something to
eat. But that was not strange, for
without knowing it, he had slept
several days and nights in the snug
chamber with his cousins.
Dickie did not stay out all night
long. Yet he took time, before he
went home, to hide a small store of
spruce seeds in a hollow rail of the
pasture- fence. He knew that be
fore the long winter came td an end
he would find that food in the woods
would grow alarmingly scarce:.
.Long before daybreak Dickie
' Deer Mouse, was glad to return to
the underground chamber. And as
he crept into the crowded room he
thought it the coziest home' he had
ever had. He knew, at last, what
made the place so warm. The soft,
round bodies of his 18 cousin.? heated
it almost as well as if he had had a
real stove.
It was lucky for him, after all,
that Fatty Coon had told them about
Dickie's hew house. And now
Dickie only hoped that none of them
would leave before spring.
That snowstorm proved to be only
the hrst warning or winter. In a
few days the weather grew quite
warm again. And to Dickie's dis
may the three families of cousins
waked up and went out of doors to
jV- the air and gather seeds and
wch thin-shelled nuts as they could
find.
They did not eat all that they
picked up. Like Dickie Deer Mouse
they stored some of the food in
secret nooks and crannies against
a time of need.
That first early snowstorm : had
-been a good thing for the dwjellers
ill the underground chamber. It had
warned them that winter was com
ing. And during the weeks that
passed before the whole countryside
became snow-bound they managed to
gather enough nuts and seeds to
last them through any ordinary win
terif they didn't eat too heartily.
-When the reat winter finally
descended upon Pleasant Valley it
found the Deer Mouse cousins quite
ready for it. And even if Dickie's
relations did wake up now and then,
when the weather wasn't too cold,
they slept soundly enough at other
times, so that they did not disturb
him greatly.
.Even the children, who had
pushed and crowded when they first
entered the front hall of the house
even they were surprisingly quiet
when they were aslep.

THE EASIEST GRAFT
When Filbert, the flimflammer, falls to the fact
That the people of Blake Oven, Ore.,
And other points west are not keen to invest .... ,
Their cash in gold-bricks any more.
He comes to New York on the very first train
And enters a broker's employ, :
And is presently found toting bank-stock around .
In the role of a messenger boy.
And when he is given a million to tote
He hastens abroad on the earliest boat.
When Bertram and Burglar has served a few terms
In the hoose-gow at Little Rock, Ark.
He finds doing time for his crude form of crime -
Is nothing one might term a lark.
So he hurries away, when he's finished the bit
That he did for his last little prank, N
To the street that's called Wall, where the buildings loom tall,
And at once goes to work for a bank.
The next day they hand him five million in bonds
And (if you'll believe me) he promptly absconds.
Iime was when the gentry who live by their wits
Made prey on the credulous hick
Whose habitat lies under wild western skies
Where the bushes and sheriffs are thick.
But now that the movies have put 'em all wise
From Butte to the Red River fork,
The grafters are found where the suckers abound
To wit: in the town of New York.
The hick, when he's robbed, gets suspicious and stern
But bankers and brokers seem never to learnt
vane Mr
ONE THING IN THEIR FAVOR, .
Anyway it can be said for Solomon and Brigham Young that they
never gave much work to the divorce courts. ' . . ' ,
NO REDUCTION FOR THEM.
Apparently congress is to continue to draw war pay even after peace
is established. . ' J-

General Wood's suggestion that the Filipinos be taught law and order
ought not to be limited to the Filipinos. ' .

Parents' Problems
What can be done to give a child
a sense of humor? .
A child living in the midst of a
family of fun-lovers, is practically
certain to acquire, or develop, a sense
of humor. If the grown-ups of the
family show a tendency to laugh at
small annoyances and smalt troubles,
the child will do likewise. Little
more than this can be done; humor
cannot be "taught."

Where It Started
Mobs.
Gatherings of the common people
were alluded to as "mobs" first in
the reign of Charles II of England.
The word is a contraction of the
Latin "mobile 'vulgus," meaning
common beast of burden. It was at
first applied as a term of contempt,
but later came to mean any unor
ganized gathering.
