Alj on eummer he had carefully burled his choicest bones under this same bush and he remembered it was a very good place. x m perfectly sure I dug every one of those up," he said to himself "still It would do no harm to look." So with a flick of his left ear and a cheerful wag of his tall he turned In to investigate. A bit of careful digging coon con vinced him that there was nothing in teresting tnere and with a final scratch at the half frozen earth he lazily turned away. i-sow ai mis very same minute a robin sat perched up In a tree near by, wondering what In the world he'd better do next. Pickings hadn't been very good that day and he was mid dling hungry, which means he was Hungry enough to be cross, but not hungry enough to hustle around In the cold and find something. He spied the dog scratching under the bush and thought, "there must be something good to eat In that dirt he's scratching up I guess I'll watch my chance and get some." He watched, and the very minute the dog turned to go away he was down pecking at the fresh turned earth. f Mr. Dog heard a voice and turned to see the robin digging industriously in the hole he had just made. "That's queer." he growled, "I thought that hole was my very own. I guess I'll wait and see what that old robin is after." So he watched and saw the robin hunt diligently and then fly back to the tree. "Wonder what he found," mused Mr Dog. "I'll hunt again myself." Back he went and set to digging vigorously. Now the robin really hadn't found anything at all, but when he saw the dog digging again he thought he must have missed something so he flew down to the other side of the bush and began to dig as hard as he could. In silence they scattered the dirt for a few minutes, then the robin piped out, "What Is it you are digging for anyway, please?" Klamath Organizes Another Farm Loan uamatn tans, or., Feb. 13.

What is it you are diggin? for, any , way, please? "I'm after the same thing you got," growled the dog, "whatever that is." "I didn't get a thing;" said the robin, "I was Just hunting what you found." "You don't mean to say," began the dogs ' "Yes, I do," answered the robin crossly, as. with a flick of his tail to show hi didn't care a bit, he flew to a nearby tree. The dog sneaked clear round the house and. resolved never again to be curious.. Tomorrow A Joking Breeze.

Miss Blanche Rose, a well-known actress, who darkened her gray hair with a slmjae. preparation which she mixed at hoxne. In a recent interview at Chicago, 111., made the following statement: "Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray hair and make it soft and glossy with this simple recipe, wnicn they can mix ' at home. To a hair pint of water add 1 oz. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com pound, and U oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at'very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until !t becomes the required shade. This will make a gray haired person look 20 years younger. It makes the hair soft md glossy, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. (Adv.) Applying this Paste Actually Removes Hairs (Beauty Notes.) ; Merely applying an inexpensive paste to a hairy surface, say beau'.y specialists, will dissolve the haJr This paste Is made by mixing a Mttle water with some powdered delatone; after about two minutes it is rubbed off and the skin washed. This simple method not only removes every trace of hair, but leaves the skin free from blemrish.
