Is Farmer Brjpwn's Hoy. Old Man Coyote was laughing to think how he had been mart enough to outwit Farmer Brown's Boy and lead Bowser right Into the trouble which had been in tended for him. W'liun Farmer Brown's Boy had started out that morning to look at the trapa he had set' for Old'Man Coy ote, there had ben a great cackling and squawking of fright among the tluks and-chickens, and Bowsep ha, started right away, to find out what H meant. ' Right away lie had found the fresh1 "tratkH of Old Man Coyote, Just as tMj latter had meant that he should. In- fart. Old Mkn Coyote had fright ened the ducks and chickens just so that Bowser would - try to find out what the matter was. Off Bowser had Marled on Old Man Coyote's trail. Marking at the. top of his lungs. Old Man Coyote kept Just far enough ant-ad of Dowser to make him think that he would catch up in a few mln VteH. Straight away across the Green il"u(liw went. Old Man Coyote toward the fir corner, where his home ( was. Old Cranny Fox and Reddy Fox heard Bowwer's voice and they knew what It meant. They hadrheard It so often behind them that now they looked at each other and grinned to think thut it meant trouble for some one ele, and particularly because it meant that Old .Man Coyote was hav- -ing to run for his life. At least they supposed- that dial was what he wad doing.- you know, they have no love for Old Man Coyote, old Grunny Fox was very much nurpritted when she fcaw that he wan running straight for Ms home. She turned up her nose". "I always supposed that Old Man Coyoto was risnably smart," said the, but I wax mistaken. A 6 months' old Fox would know better than to go to his home until he Just had to and Was sure that he couldn't fool the dog. Hello, what's that? What's happened to that silly dog?" X "I always supposed that Old Man Coyote was reasonably smart," Both she and Reddy pricked up their ears. They heard just what Farmer Brown's Boy- heard and which set him to running as fasf as he could yelps and howls of pain and fright from Bowser- the Hound, you see. Old Man Coyote hadn't ueen stupid at all, as Granny supposed. He had gone straight home for a purpose, and that purpose was to get Bowser the Hound into the very trouble which was mak ing him howl so now. As he drew near his home Old Man Coyote had allowed Bowser to almost catch up with him, and Bowser had grown so excited that he couldn't think of anything else. Now, Old Man Coyote knew just ex actly where each trap was that Farm er Brown's Boy had set for him, and when he reached the first of these he lightly jumped over it. ' But Bowser wasn't thinking of traps. He could think of nothing but catching Old Man Coyote. When he reached the trap, which, you know, was hidden, he didn't see or smell, It. He. put one foot squarely into It. Snap! Two cruel steel jawa seized Bowser's leg, and he was a prisoner! He was caught in the very way that Farmer Brown's Boy had meant that Old Man Coyote should be caught. And. sitting down just a" little way off and laughing at him, was Old Man, Coyote himself.

"Poor Dorothy!" sighed the hostess to her out-of-town visitor, when the last of her luncheon guests had de parted. "Did you notice how jolly she tried to be, trying to hide the hurt in her heart?" "1 noticed ehe ate vet-y little, ' spoke the visitor, "and there seemed to be something strained about her. She's changed awfully since we went to school together." - "It's that husband of hers. My dear, if my Will wasn't - such la wonde among men I'd advise evey girl no to marry, for I've seen so ipuch mar ried unhappiness just amorffj the girls I grew up with. And then, when I begin-thinking that all men are selfish and inconsiderate, 1 bring myself up with a jerk, . because there's Will and there must be some more like him, and 1 certainly wouldn't want to keep any girl from a marriage like mine." "But Dorothy's husband seemed such a good sort," said the visitor. "He's the last man 1 would have expected to see neglecting his wife for an pther woman. Why, he positively dot ed on Dorothy, and he was perfectly foolish over the babies. I neve: saw a happier man than Joe was simply wrapped up in his home and family. He never looked at another girl till he-, began going wfth Dorothy; You know, we girls were all kind'of smit ten with him, but he never seemed to care a snap for "any of us until he saw her.'" 'Everybody, is blaming Joe' now;' said the hostess, ' and pitying In's poor wire. tsut IT I could get up a tar- and-feather party, it's the 'other wo man who Would cet a surprise visit from some of us wives. "Joe never- riieant to do anything wrong. I believe that this minute he thinks more of his wife and familv than anything else on earth. But this woman she isn't even divorced simply laid her eyeotj him and marked him for her own. He didn't run after Tier. He didn't know !- ran aftor him. But she never let the man get away from her hypnotic influence from me rirst moment. It was a little party here, a cosy tea chat there, something she must have advice about, a motor outing that wouldn't be per fect without him, et cetera. At first there were a few others invited, but after a' while be was the only 'one and the time came when Joe was in her apartment more than he was home. "She is a regular vampire woman. She has done the same thing with other men. It makes no diffeience whether they are married or not. She can wean a man away from everything that Is good and sweet and who.usorae. There are some women like tlwt. you know. They have a peculiar fascina tion for men. And somehow the men never seem to realize U. Now you couldn't tell Joe anything about this woman. He'd lr.ugh at ;ou and say you were prejudiced. He believes his wife is Jealous and trying to hamper his freedom, because she is fighting to keep him loyal as a father and hus band. I believe he sometimes hates her because she gets in the way of his championship of the woman who rules him." "I wonder why it is that a man never recognizes danger in such a woman," mused the visitor. "Coming her in the train there jwas a girl of that type. All she had to do was to "raise her heavy-lidded eyea and. look at a man. and he was immediately her slave. Even th old men fell all over them selves to get her attention." "I presume It's masculine vanity In the beginning." again sighed the hos tess. "No man thinks he can be a lave to any woman, and so he neglects to fight shy of the temptress before It Is too late." ABOUT BOSSES By Edna K. Wooley. "Most everybody has a grouch in our place." said the dark haired girl. "We've got a pretty good boss, too, when it comes to that. He pays as good wages as anybody, and we're fixed pretty comfortable. But he's such an old grouch. He's nice enough to any of his own women folks when they come down to the office, or to any visitors; but he seems to think the folks that work for- him . aren't worth treating with politeness. Ar.u no matter how well anybody does, he never gives praise. But Just make a mistake! Wow! He lands on your neck with both feet and then some. He calls you down before the whole office.' Honest, I can't blame every body for being sore. The people in our place are just working for tht money they get that's all. I wish you could get me a place in your office." "Our office wasn't always like It is," declared the older girl. "We used to have a manager who didn't think women counted, at all. There aren't many women in our place, anyway, and he used to huddle us in out-of-the-way dark corners, where we never got a 'breath of air and scarcely had room to turn around. The men got all the nice, light places by the windows, even If their work wasn't as important as ours. There wasn't even a wash room In the building for the women! We had to go to the public toilet in the office building next door. It's no wonder the, girls were homesick half the time, but our manager said that was the trouble with women in busi ness they were always sick and you couldn't depend on them. "Then the management changed. The first thing we knew there was an army of workmen cleaning up the place. My, how the cockroaches did scatter! And the mouse nests they found under old desks that hadn't been moved In years! And when we girls saw a little pri vate room just for us being built at one end of the hall we could hardly believe our eyes. "The new manager did away with the artificial lights and moved all the desks neaEdfelBwtndows. My eyes got better right away': He went down the line, weeded out the incompetents, and raised salaries that ought to have. been raised ages ago. And the best of all was that he always came in mornings with a chuckle and a 'Good morning to the whole bunch. Say there wasn't a face that didn't light up when that man came around. "It just seemed like a fresh breeze went right through that old place and chirked us all up. We buckled down to our work and did twice as much as we ever did. We didn't have to stay home sick so much. Headaches are a rarity now. And our business is. booming. "We know we've got to make good, of course. We know our manager is keeping track of every one of us. But he does it in a friendly way, and when do anything particularly well he AMERICAN FASHIONS One of the many new lingerie. ideas in mixed with fudge- or caramels.

Blanch some nuts and drop one at a time into the sugar, turn each nut well until it is covered without stirrirrg the sugar, lift it carefully out with a spoon and place it on an oiled - slab. Do not drain the nuts while lifting them out and enough sugar will remain to form a clear ring of candy around eacb one.

Of course, the Waldorf Salad, nut meats, celery and apples chopped together and served with a mayonnaise dressing, is well known, but many other good nut combinations may be invented. Chopped nuts in a fruit salad are good, and finely chopped nuts added to a mayonnaise dressing make a good filling for whole tomatoes, and a delicious addition to lettuce sandwiches.

Miller at Myrtle' Point. Myrtle Point, Or. Oct. 24. Milton A. Miller of Portland addressed an en thusiastic political meeting here to night, discussing state and national issues. Senator Chamberlain, Dr. C. J. Smith for governor, and Frederick Hollister for congress are especially strong here. By Lillian E. Young. A decided change in the lines of dresses always means a change In the fashioning of undergarments, for the latter must always coincide with the former. Up to the present we have lor some time had only the smoothest fitting underclothes, with the minimum of bulk or fulness, that they would in no way interfere with close lines of outside clothing. But now come fuller skirts and, to keep them company, fuller underskirts. That does not mean bulk, of course, for they are made only in thin and supple stuffs. However, some interestingly new designs are appearing, and lovers of dainty lingerie will surely find pleasure in reproducing them. In the accompanying cut is shown a corset cover and petticoat to match that may or may not be Joined at the waist The material used is white crepe de chine, though fine nainsook or handkerchief linen will work up as well. The interesting feature of the corset cover is the double strap arrangement over the shoulder the second one forming a sort of shield. The front closing is cut in square tabs and the edges of the entire cover are button holed while a simple design in English eyelet work adorns the body portion. The petticoat consists of straight breadths of material laid about the waist in flat box folds, run through with ribbon-strung eyelets and leaving a self heading. Maybe you will think this cumbersome, but it will not be so made up in thin material. The space from, knee to hem is embroidered and th lower edge cut in rose scallops. Just by way of a hint this will make a dainty trousseau or Christ mas gift, if some one is fond of handwork. NUT DISHES By Mary Iiee. Now is the season of nuts. They will soon be cheap and plentiful in the city and are to be gathered in the country for the cost of a little time. The common hickory nut is espe cially plentiful and while they are small, they have a great deal of flavor and are well worth gathering to use in cooking and also for salting. Here is a good recipe for salting nuts: Pour a tablespoonf ul of oil over every cupful of nuts. Let them stand in the oil for an hour, and then add a tablespoonful of fine salt to each cupful. Stir them well, place them in a shallow pan and set in the oven until they are colored a light brown. Stir them occasionally while they are in the oven, so that they will be even ly colored. Turn them into a paper to dry and shake off the loose salt before serving. It is not necessary to use the oil, a small piece of butter put into the pan is the most usual way. If desired, the walnuts may be blanched before salting, by immersing them in boiling water for a few min utes and then rubbing off the skins. anxt Candies Both walnuts and hickory nuts are delicious, chopped or On the list of the Fruit and Flower Mission is one mother, in particular, who is in desper ate need of work of any sort that will enable her and her little child to live. They have been making their home in a basement room for which they paid $2 -a month. Now the child has fallen ill and the Visiting Nurse association has told the mother she must move as the damp room is largely respons ible for the child's illness. The mother has tramped the streets for days in an unsuccessful search for work and is willing to do anything. Her need is grealt and immediate.

The state printing office plant saved $350 on a carload of book paper by ordering it before the war got under way, it was stated yesterday by Secretary Plimp ton. The carload has just been de livered. Conditions for getting roads built economically are good just now, ac cording to State Highway Engineer Bowlby.

This leaves $5.75 a week, a total of $23 per month.
