He was sly end clever, like all his fntully ; but this time he overdid the matter, as you will fee. Mrs. Squirrel had a new family of Utile squirrels, and as soon as Mr. Fox heard this, over he went to call on her. "Oh, wliat handsome babies!" ex claimed Mr. Fox when be saw the new squirrels. "Your children are- the handsomest In the woods, Mrs. Squir rel. Tou may be sure of that," he told her. Now, It happened that on his way home he was called In to Mrs. Rabbit's house to see her hew babies, and Mr. Fox told her that her children were by far the prettiest he ever hnd seen, "the very prettiest in the woods, Mrs. Bab hit I" he told her. The next day Mr. Fox heard that some new little possums had been brought to Mrs. Possum by the stork, so over ran Mr. Fox to call, "for," said he, "the best way to keep on good terms with my neighbors Is to praise the children to their mothers." He told Mrs. Possum that her chil dren were the prettiest In the woods, and when Mrs. Coon sent for him to (Copyright) THOSE WINDOW ENVELOPES. .

I've always groaned when those I've spied , They tell me something' due! It may be from the grocer man. It may be from the plumber; It may be for the lovely tan Top-coat I bought last summer. But whatsoever goods 'tis for. It makes me shudder still Those things with that transparent door Always contain a bllL And so I look the letters o'er With fear down in my heart One may be from some grouchy store i Down in the busy mart Such cowardice may be a sin.

Nearly iverybody in th' wurrld wild be honest if ha thought th' other feller wasn't gittin' ready t' do 'im. HOW IT STARTED. .There was a young fellow named RIker Who when asked of his girl, "Do you like her?" Paid. "I'd give her my life!" Then his friend started strife By sneeringly saying, "You piker!" Trying on His Patients. A western doctor, carrying a patient to a hospital In his car, managed to stall his engine on the railroad track In front of an ap proaching train. Both doctor and patient jumped from the car and ran away like Jackrabbits. The stalled-on-the-tracfe system may be introduced into materia medl ca or Immateria surglca, almost any time, now. Can It Be? Dear Offngin Is It a fact that some of the Bulgarian officers refused to fight against Serbia and Russia be cause they called them the Balkin states? FINNIGIN FILOSOFY. Minny a bonehead out n of fice is brighter than a ihmart man in th' office t' hear th' bonehead tell ut. Whence Came His Fear. "Why won't you go with us to the ballet?" asked his roistering companions. "Because my father always used to chastise me with orchard switches, and I've been afrnid of peach limbs ever since," replied the thoughtful young man. And they wondered for days and days what he could have meant NOT WHITTIER'S. Of all mad words from bookkeeping men, The maddest are these: "Who's had this ' pen?" mam wuumgilliKL see her new babies Mr. Fox told bet the same thing. Mrs. Porcupine and Mrs. Badger also received a call from Mr. Fox. and were told that no children In the woods could compare with their new Rabies, so that each mother thought her children the prettiest babies, for not one told to the other the nice things Mr. Fox had said. All would have gone well with Mr. Fox If Mrs. Squirrel had not been Bul lous that every one should know that her babies were considered the pret tlest and proposed that they should hold a baby show and have Mr. Fox for the judge. To this, of course, all the mothers agreed, for each one was sure hei babies would get the prize. Mrs. Squirrel frisked over to Mr. Fox's bouse to tell him the news. "Of course," she said, "It will be great disappointment to the others when you tell them that my children are the prettiest, but It cannot be helped. Some one must have the pret tlest babies, and any .one with half an eye can see that mine are fur ahead of all the other wood children." Mr. Fox smiled a sickly smile when he heard this and said, of course, he would be proud and pleased to be the judge, but as soon as It was dark that night he took his valise he did not stop for a trunk or his household goods nnd out of the woods he went, far away over the hills, and never did he show himself there again. Well he knew what would happen to him if he went to that baby show and picked out the prettiest babies, and he did not intend to take any such risk. When Mr. Fox did not show up, Mr. Owl was called upon to judge, but being a very wise bird he told the mothers that he could not see well enough In the daytime to give an honest opinion, and so the mothers went home each sure that her chil dren were the prettiest babies in the world.

When a new tire Is bought for cash, It Is guaranteed against various forma of disease, any one of which may sap Its vitality and cause It to pop open in some unexpected place.

It is difficult for a four-Inch tire to carry 3.8(H) pounds of installment-plan automobile and seven robust passenger on 60 pounds of air, without giving way at some vital spot and spoiling an entire evening for all concerned.

People would have less tire trouble If they paid less attention to the guarantee and more to the short crisp warnings of the tire tester. The best kind of a tire guarantee is a mixture of plain mule sense along with the ability to dodge between the three-cornered rocks which strew the highway.

HM ETHOUGIIT that I hnd wan ATA dtired fur In an old wood," say Tennyson In his "Drvain of Fair Women," and Dante begins his won. derful dream of hell in the "Divine Comedy" with "In the midway or this mortal life I found me in a gloomy wood astray." To dream of trees, or of being In wood, is a very common occurrence to many people while to other such dreams are extremely rare. Freud In his dream theory has what he calls a dream censor" anil many. If not most, of the other sclentlllc Investigators ac cept 4he Freudlau theory in this re Sect The theory Is that when we leave our days of early childhood, which are entirely "unmoral," we be gin to accumulate a sense of shume, morals, proprieties, convent Ions, etc., which sense becouips woven Into our cimsclous being. Kren In sleep this sense Is strong enough to assert It self and so acta as a check upon the more daring proceawe of the drenm thought which, In order to get what it wants to express past the censor, Is obliged to niiike use of symbolism. This may be true but If so we all, even the best of us, have had dreams In which the censor was evidently on strike or asleep at the switch. A dream of trees or woods would seem Innocent enough hut the extremist would explain It as something "put over" on the censor. With the mystics this drenm Is ono of the oldest nnd most widespread of prophetic visions. With certain modi fications It Is held to be a most aus picious omen to dream of trees. If they are In lenf or flower success In life, a happy marriage nnd ninny chil. dren await you. If already married look for, success In business. If A sailor you mny expect a good voyage. If yon climb a dream-tree you will go far on the upward road, and If you pick fruit from one you will receive a legacy. But It Is bad luck to cut down dream trees or to see them leaf less or blasted.
