Beaver. i?; By Thornton W. Burgess. s . (Copyright, lia, by J. G. Lloyd.) )' ' Everybody knew that .Paddy the i Beaver was laying up a supply of food .' I for the winter, and everybody thought it s was flueer food. That is, everybody but . ! Pricklv Porkv the Poreunlne thourht so. ) Prickly Porky likes the same kind of I food, but he never lays up a supply. He Just goes out and gets it when he 'f wants it, winter or summer. What kind ; of food. Is It? Why bark, to be sure. j Yes, sir, It was just bark the bark of certain kinds of trees. ' How Prickly Porky can climb the trees and eat the bark right there, but 5 Paddy the Beaver cannot climb, and if he should just eat the bark that he can reach from the ground it would take - such a lot of trees te keep him filled up that he would boo, spoil the Green For est. You know when tbe bark is' taken ,: off a tree all the way around the tree . dies. That is because all the' things that a tre draws out of the ground 4o ' stake It grow and keep it alive are car ried up from the roots In the sap, and the sap cannot go up the tree trunl: and into tbe branches when the bark is -taken off because it ia up the inside of "the bark that ft travels! 80 when the bark is taken from a tree all the way around the trunk tbe tree Just sUrves to oeath. v. Now, Paddy the Beaver loves the Green Forest as dearly as you and I i do, and perhaps even a little more dear ... ly- Tou see it is' his home, Besides, i, Paddy never la wasteful. So he cuts down a tree so that be can get all the r bark instead of killing a whole lot of --t-roes- fora -very little bark, o he might do if he were lazy. There isn't a lazy bone In him not one. The bark he likes best is from the aspen. When he cannot get that ho will eat the bark from the poplar; the alder, the willow, ' and even the birch. But he likes the aspen so much better that he will work very hard to get It. Perhaps it tastes better because he does have to work so : bard for It. ' There were some aspen trees growing right on the edge of the pond Paddy ' bad made In the Green Forest. These . , he cut Just as he had cut the trees for ' his dam. As soon as a tree was down - be would cut it into short lengths and with these swim out to where the water , was deep, close to his new house. He 'took them one by one and carried tho 1 first ones to the bottom, where ho pushed them Into the mud Just enough ito-..hald them. Than, - as- -fast . -as- )x -brought more be pllod them fr the first , ones. And so the pile grew and grew. Jerry Muskrat, Peter Rabbit, Bobby I Coon, and other little people of the Green Forest watched htm with the .' greatest interest and curiosity. They 'couldn't quite make out what he was : doing. It was almost as If he waa ' building a foundation for another . house. "What's he doing, Jerry?" demanded Peter when he could keep still no longer. ''I don't exactly know," replied Jerry. "He said that he was going to lay in a upply of food for the winter. Just as I "told you, and I suppose that is what he ! is doing, but I don't quite understand , what he is taking it all out Into the pond for.. I believe I'll go ask him." '., "Do, and then come tell us," begged ' Peter, who was growing so curious that . he couldn't sit still. , 80 Jerry swam out to where Paddy was so busy.

Isn't it splendid?" "I guess it U," replied Jerry, trying to be polite, "though I like Illy roots and clams better. But what are you cuing to do with it? Where is your storehouse?" "This pond is my storehouse," replied Paddy. "1 will make a great pile right here close to my houne and the water will keep It nice and fresh all winter. When the pond is frozen over all I have to do is to slip out of one of my door ways down there on the bottom, swim over here and get a stick and fill my stomach. Isn't it handy?"

SCHOOL HOUSES AS SOCIAL CENTERS ' URGED BY PRESIDENT'S1 DALfGHTER Plan Has Proved Success Where It Has Been Tried; 'Cuts Campaigning. (Doited Press Las Wlre.t Washington, Nov. 21. "Private In terests are organised; therefore, they are powerful. Only when the public in teres t is organised will the supremacy of the common Interest be universally recognised." Thus Margaret Wilson, the president's daughter, summed up today the pivotal point in the movement for use of the nation's school bouses as social centers. In an exclusive interview accorded to the United Press. Miss Wilson had an opportunity to study the operation of the plan during a visit to Madison, Wis., and sees in it closer study by the people of govern mental economics and political prob lems. School House aa Foiling Place. "The machinery for this organisation of public Interest Is tho common school system, with every school house used as a .social center," she said. "Every school building should be made the poll ing place of Its district. And then the voting body in each district should be organised into a deliberative body for free discussion of public questions. It seems to be axiomatic that there should be the same provision for all-sided dis cussion on the part of the citizens be fore they vote that there ia for alder men, state legislators or any other agents of the citizens. "Where, as iu Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, and' other cities, the school bouses are used as polling places, the plan is economical, convenient and helpful to- the educational service of the school. And where, as In Wiscon sin, the state law directs the school boards to provide free use of the school buildings as voters' common council chambers "parliaments of the people' the feasibility of the plan has been es: tabllshed by two years' successful de monstration. Keoeesity of Civic Seoretary. "Not only should the school houses be provided free of charge, but the paid service of a clerk or civic secretary should also be furnished. Just as this service Is furniBhed for meetings of aldermen, legislators and other sub committees of citizens. "This program of citizenship organ ization through the use of the school houses as social centers is the con secutive, common sense answer to very many of our problems. "It is tbe first logical step toward the A FEW SMILES The president of the health Insurance company was displeased, not to say ruffled. H considered himself a downy bird, a sharp-eyed spectator and a knowing card. The principal business ol Ills company was to Insure people against Illness. That is, for the payment of a cer tain amount annually they could collect an Indemnity for all the time they were ill. The prize writer of this insurance stood before the president and bowed his head to the storm of reproach which was cant upon him. "What did you mean by Insuring this fellow Brown?" shouted the president. "Sir," said tho prize writer, "he had never been sick for a day up to the time we insured him." "But that can't be reasonable!" burst forth the president. "Well. I admit he has been sick a good deal since he took out his policy," ad mitted the man who was being bawled out. . "Sick a, good dealrv thundered, the president. '"As well as I can make out. - By Paul West Just rubbed it on like he had seen her do one day at recess.

Wo Weed to Hire Kails. "Where tho citizens are so organized it will be unnecessary for candidates and parties to hire halls for political meetings; four-fifths of the need for private campaign contributions will be obviated, and four-fifths of the occasion for political corruption will be removed. "The school houses should be used not only for intelligent consideration of local questions, after the fashion of the New England town meetings, but also for the discussion of state and na tional affairs and for the calm con sideration of questions of international relationship.

"How much more would you like to lit. ve?" inquired the employer. "Well,"' answered the lad, "I think 2 a week more would not be too much." "Well, you seem to roe a rather small' boy to be earning $5 a week," remarked his employer. "I suppose I do.

The mother or a pupil in one of the Philadelphia schools had been helping her small daughter with the arithmetic lesson for the next day. and after strug gling through the problems, secured what appeared to" be satisfactory results.

"All wrong?" repeated the mother. "Oil. I'm so sorry." amazed "Well, mamma," said tho little one, consolingly, "you needn't worry. All the other little girls' mammas had them wrong, too."

C. T O. GREATEST IN HISTORY Seven Hundred Voting Mem bers Represented 35 -Countries; Oregon Represented. " The Tiatlonaf convention of the Woirten's Christian Temperance union, Just closed at Asbury Park, N. J., 'was the largest in the blstory of the 40 years of the organisation, having in atttendance over 700 vot ing members and 1000 visitors. In this socjisty each voting member at a national convention represents 600 paid member. - The meeting In the great Casino on the Atlantic shore will ever be mem orable; firstly, because of the presence of the foreign visitors from 35 different countries, coming from tbe world's con vention previously held In Brooklyn; and secondly, for the daring plans of its members to shape the destiny of tbe country according to the pattern of their own-Ideals. A fund of 11100 was raised and sent toOiptalu Richard Pearson Hobson -of Alabama to aid In his senatorial fight there, because of'the fact that his oppo nents are representing the power of the liquor traffio to crush the author of the Joint resolution proposing an amend ment to the federal constitution pro hibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. A telegram of cheer was sent with the money, ei- t pressing the confidence that Mr. Hobson would be spared politically to lead the fight In the senate for tbe passage of this resolution. A telegram of protest -was sent to congress against placing in tbe con gressional record the oration delivered at the funeral of the late Adolphus Qusch, a brewer and a private cltisen. A telegram of appreciation went to the governor of Oregon for his heroic law enforcement administration. The address of President Stevens occupied most of the forenoon of tbe first day, and was received with such bursts of enthusiasm that the interruptions to its reading were frequent This free and easy way of hearing, the annual address of the chief officer was a revelation to the foreign visitors, who sat above the platform and faced the great audienoe and though they had never seen the like before, their smiles and cheers testified that they approved of American liberty and enthusiasm. Among tho priies distributed In the work of the 40 departments, Oregoh carried off trophies In the grade essay, Bible question and Union Signal con tests and for Christian citizenship re port.
