FOX was lar.y; that bis wife knew very well, but she hail jiade up her mind that he should help oer with her spring housecleanlng If she had to starve him to It. "Tou won't get a hlte to eat," she laid one morning, "until you clean my : rarpets and rugs. Now go to work, If fou want your dinner, Reynard." Out In the yard the rugs and carpets went with a hang and back to her Rork went Mrs. Fox. Reynard got up slowly from the ground where he was sitting under a tree and sighed, for he knew It was irork or no dinner. He polled the carpet on the clothes line and hung the rugs beside It, and lust then Mr. Coon ran by, calling out that flock of young turkeys were In the wood, and off ran Reynard with aim. One of Mrs. Fox's rugs happened to be a big goatskin, and as it hung on the line swinging In the wind, Billy Goat happened to pass by and see It Billy Goat gave a look at the rug and shook his horns. "If I could find the one who did that," he said, "I would avenge my poor relative. I wonder who lives here!" . Billy Goat looked around and not seeing anyone he took the goatskin and started to run away with It, but he had only gone as far as a clump of bushes when he saw some turnips which Mrs. Fox had In a basket in the yard, and Billy changed h!s mind. He hid the skin of his relative be Beauty Chat By EDNA KENT FORBES LOXG LASHES " LONG, thick eyelashes are to be de sired not only because of their own beauty and the added character they lend the eye, but because they afford so much protection to the eye itself. They sift the dust from the air, minimizing the chances of getting painful particles into the eye, they shade the eye from strong lights and protect the sensitive nerves of sight Long lashes are comparatively easy to acquire. The first thing to do is to squill!! Mr W Long lashes are one of the greatest ' attributes of beauty. clip the lashes back a trifle, using fine embroidery or manicure scissors with the points held away from the eye. This Is a delicate task, belter done by Rome other person. Yet, If you lean close to the mirror you can do It your self. The lash on both the upper and under lid should be clipped. This will make them grow In longer and thicker, too. The eyebrows, too, will benefit by clipping, but this Is something most women would hesitate about, as the short hnirs would show more readily than on the lashes. Vaseline is about the best thing to use as a topic, and is always the chief ingredient of expen sive preparations. The lashes should be clipped back once a month for at least three months. By this time, In connection with the use of a tonic, they will have sufficient stimulation to grow thick and long.

He felt pretty sleepy when he had finished this big meal, so instead of running home he crept behind a rock some distance from Mrs. Fox's house and went to sleep. By and by Reynard came back from his run with Mr. Coon and as he did not wish his wife to see him, he dodged behind every rock and tree as he came near his house. "Well! If there Isn't Mrs. Fox's nice goatskin rug away over here," snld Reynard. "It must have blown off the line; now. Isn't It lucky I came around this way?" , Reynard grabbed the tatl of what he thought was the rug, but it wasn't the rug at all; it was Billy Goat, asleep, with his head In the grass and his horns quite hidden. Reynard dropped the tall almost as soon as he touched It, for Billy Goat Jumped and turned on him. "Oh ! I thought you were my wife's goatskin rug I" he said as fast as he could talk. "Oh I You did, did your said Billy Goat, lowering his head. "So you are the fellow who brought my poor rela tive to his sad end?" "But let me tell you about it 1" said Mr. Fox, as Billy Goat butted him over and over on the ground. "I'll use all the butts that are need ed to explain this situation," snld Billy Goat. "I am the fellow who put the other 'f on that 'but' you want to tell me about I know all about It" Poor Reynard limped home, holding his back and sides, as he groaned with pain, but Mrs. Fox would not listen to anything he said. "If you had stayed there and done the work you would not have a lame back!" she said. She made him clean the carpet and find the goatskin rug, which Billy Goat, in his hurry, forgot before she gave her husband his dinner, and all through the woods could be heard the groaning of Reynard as he worked. but not a bit of sympathy did he get from Mrs. Fox.

One time In a careless moment Luther Burbank, the woll-known dou-hle-crosser, conceived the unique and mischievous Idea of crossing the glow-worm and the skunk. The result was an oil stove. The hybrid inherited its heat from the glow-worm and Us aroma from the skunk. When one retires in a flreless, ra dlatorless, reglstcrless room awaj from home, they sometimes put one of these kerosene, air-cooled con sumers In with him for company.

We do not wish to be niggardly, nor yet so profuse In our providing that there Is any great amount of food left over. A small dish of corn which hits been served as a vegetable may appear again In the form of a few fritters as a garnish for a dish of chicken which was Just enough to go around. The corn is saved and tho chicken la thus sufficient Fish Bills Baked. Take one cupful of cooked rice and one cupful of flaked cooked fish, one egg well beaten, a tahlesponnful of strong cheese, a teaspoonful of lemon Juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Form Into balls, place In a buttered pan and bake a delicate brown. Serve with slices of buttered toast Salmon Salad. Any bits of left over salmon, if mixed with coconut, adding a few string henna or chopped pickle and any good dressing, make an appetizing sulad. ITse lettuce as a border or furnish to the platter of salad. Sour Cream Filling. For a layer rake, take thick sour crenm not too sour whip nnd add chopped raisins and a few coarsely minced nuts, a little powdered sugar; mix all together, add a few drops ot any flavoring extract and spread ovel the cake. Sour cream cooked with equal parts of brown sugar until thick, to which is added a few nuts, makes a most delicious cake filling and frost Ing. Sour cream may be used In any salad dressing which calls fur sweet cream, making a dressing equally good. Most boiled dressings, as well as may onnaise, are Improved by the addition ot crenm; sour cream whips as well as sweet and takes the place of sweet cream. Brown Betty. Place alternate layers of chopped Juicy apples, with bread crumbs. In a buttered baking dish, having the crumbs at the bottom. Add clnnnmon or nutmeg with a little brown sugar and bits of butter over each layer. Fin ish with crumbs and bake for nn hour, covering the dish at first Serve with a hard sauce. .(Copyright, ItiO, Wut.rn New.p.p.r Union.) 0 - Bents Br GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS YOUR Bents are your Advisers.

Kuch one of your Bents should be carefully considered In silent Con ference. And that Conference should be Personal and Serious. For Every .Man, sooner or Inter, may BECOME what his Bents ARE. Neglect not a single Bent that If within you, but as Master over it, cul tivate and educate It to do your bid ding. Become what you are FITTED to become. Exert every faculty and use every ounce of energy to this end. It Is good sense to believe that you know your own Bents better than ony one else. And you have the assur ance ever with you that Every mnn, sooner or later, may BECOME what his Bents ARB. Franklin followed his own Bents and became a World figure, instead of following the Bents that his Father seemed to see In him In desiring him to become a Clergyman. You will need no advisors If you will but stop long enough to search out ond look your Bents squarely in the face. And If you follow your Bents Courageously and without discouragement, you will then be able to feel to the full, the truth of how blessedly Happy Is the man who has FOUND his work. 0 Shorter and Uglier.

The nmrrluge contract Is not writ ten out In full like a farm lease or a life Insurance policy, hence the con tracting parties do not become fully ac pialnted with Its provisions und the nne print until It 1ms been In opera tlon for some time. It Is very eimy for i husband to live up to the marriage contract so long as his wife Is willing to provide for both and allow lihn to rest up.

Till? mystics are not entirely agrecl nn to the slRiilllrnni'e of a dream of the devil. 8me ileclnm that sim ply to see Hie devil In a dream signi fies that you will be very fortunute In life; others that It In a warning of temptation. SHU others declure It to signify that evil Influences ore m work against you and that you have fulso friends. These two latter omens may be accepted without dtsercdltlng the flrnt one; fur a mnn may be very suc cessful In life In spite of temptatloni and secret enemies. Those mystics who put Hie very worst construi'tlmi upon a dream of the devil admit that If yon dream Hint you are lighting him siiccensfuliy good for tune awaits you. if you dn-iiui Hint he overcomes you, look out for dangers ahead. To dream of Niitun also Is a sign that you will shortly go away from homo for an extended period. To ttm maiden It means Hint her ilepiirture from home will he tn-riiio of n happy marriage In all probability. Hut If It Is not n happy nuirrlnge which takes her from home It will be some oilier pleiisnnt or profitable occnslon.

A dream of the devil often cited hy the scientists Is that of tbe fnmou'i' Eighteenth century composer. Tartlnl. When ho was only twonty-one yean old Tartlnl dreamed that the devil sud denly stood before him. The ien oc curred to htm to hnnd sntnn his fiddle nnd see what he would do with It. To his surprise Hie devil took the fiddle nnd began to play a piece of Inex pressible loveliness. Tartlnl was elat ed, transported, uplifted and awoke with tho music still ringing In hli ears. Seizing his violin he attempted to re produce what he had henrd.- Tho re sult was "The Devil's Sonnin" which has delighted so many generations. "It was tho best thing I ever wrote," said Tartlnl In after years, "but, oh! how feeble, Inadequate and Inferior com pared to the sonntn I heard the devil Play." (Copyright) O Jufl Folks By EDGAR A. GUEST REWARD. Don't want medals on my breast, Don't wunt all the glory, I'm not worrying greatly lest The world won't heor my story. A chance to dream beside a stream Where fish ore biting free; A day or two, 'ueath skies of blue Is Joy enough for me. I do not ask a hoard of gold, Nor treasures rich nnd rare; I don't wunt all the Joys to hold, I only want a share. Just now and then, away from men And all their haunts of pride. If I can steal, with rod and reel, I will be satisfied, ' I'll gladly wdrk my way through life, I would not always play ; I only ask to quit tho strife For an occasional day. If I can sneak from toll a week To chum with stream and tree I'll fish nwny and smiling say That life's been good to me. , (Copyright by Bdtrar A.
