BILLY GOAT & MK. FOX
MR. 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

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.

hind the bushes and very cautiously
tiptoed up to the basket nnd ate up
every one of Mrs. Fox's turnips.
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.

Ono of the ways of dlspus'.iig of left

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

Fish Bills Baked.
Take one cupful of cooked rice and
one cupful of flaked cooked fish, one

Salmon Salad.
Any bits of left over salmon, if mixed
with coconut, adding a few string

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

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

ot crenm; sour cream whips as well
as sweet and takes the place of sweet
cream.

Bents
Br GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS
YOUR Bents are your Advisers.
Bents are Just Tendencies. Every
one has them. They are born with
you. Wise people are those who listen
to their Advisers who consider their
Benti. 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.

CON'Tlt ACTING PARTI KS
THE 'contracting parties Is a title
given to young people who take
each other for better or worse and are
obliged by the luw to sign an agree
ment thut they will stand hitched.
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. One reason why so ninny nmr
rluge contracts aro shot full of holes

tome wives object to mulutalnlng a

If more young people realized that

otild be fewer contracting parties

nore seasickness among contracting

-What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF SATAN?
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. Put
In any event remember In your dream
Hie Scriptural saying:- "ItcHlst tlio
devil and he will llee from you."
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)

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. ,
