TWhat'4 oe a fine scheme?" T. Paer inquired over the ' top of. his evening paper. They got so many chnrehes, he added In answer to ner last statement, "it 'takes a whale of a lot of people, to make a sbowln'ln 'em." "- ' ".. ;. .? They's a-whale of a tot that' don't try to make a .showing?, " Ma responded. "You ain't been to church for so Ions 70a would'nt know one if yoa saw It," "I'd go oftener if you wouldn't always ran me about goia' . to sleep," T. Paer answered, "A fellah can't ret no com fort out of church sittin' with you. v- -You ain't supposed to sleep in church." Ma said scornfully. " "Every time ' yon go yoa act like you'd been up all night nd hadnt cot borne yet"- ' -' 'mturday' night's a hard nUrht," T. Paer said defensively, " 'nd besides Sun day morning's made to sleep in." -' "Sunday mornlnc's . made for divine worship," Ma retorted. " 'Nd yoi dant show much Inclination that way from, the 'way- yon act." . -. "It says in the bible.". T. JPaer argued, . "that you're : supposed to worship . ac cording to your own lights, or somethln' like' that" "Maybe it does." Ma said sarcastically, "hut your, light goes out about five nxtnita after the first bymn." ! . "It's jny way of doia'.lt," T- Paer In sisted, "I feel a lot more religious after a good nap'n I do after tmferin through a., long , sermon. Anyway," be added, "sermons always affect me like a dose of paragorio does a kid." . - "Just the same." Ma said, reverting -to her first observation. "I think this , go to church' day stunt's a good one'nd ought to be kept up." " i i "If they'd make it on Easter Sunday they'd , get 'enough wom,en at so's they would'nt need, the men to fill in," T. Paer suggested hopefully,. "Somebody ought to tip that off to the preachers." "It'd-. be. awful If yon bad to go to church more'n once a year," Ma said, scorfully, "I don't suppose you'd ever live through It .?, '- - .. r-"If you'd had' as-much , trouble beln' a Presbyterian instead, of a Campbellite as I did," T. Paer contended earnestly, "you'd feel like takin' a layoff, once in a while, too." . : - "Humph," M. sniffed, "It'd take an . X-ray 'nd a blood test both to tell what yon are so far as religion's concerned." "That's aB right." X. Paer insisted, "I worked hard for my religion 'nd you Just Inherited yourn." tf yoo'd worked a little harder you would'nt a bad any," Ma smiled. "Toa was pull in' back most of the time, wasn't you?" 4 , ... "I was pull In' to the left." T. Paer grinned remintscently, "Old Pet always wanted (0 go over to Bethel instead of down. to. Zens." . "Old Petr Ma said. In sarprtseWho was she nd what did she have to do with itr - . ... - , - "She- was Maw's hog-backed mare," T.

"Horsea ain't got no religion." - - "Pet did." T. Paer Insisted. ' "She be lieved In the Golden Rule all right all right",..-"- -- . - .- ,- "How do you know thatT" Ma asked ironically. ' "Did she tell you so?" ' "She sure did,"" T. Paer "answered. "Every time I'd tickle her she'd 'try to kick me." "How'd that prove UT' Ma queried doubtfully, "She was try In to do unto others as they done to her," T. Paer told her. "It always struck me," he added, "that -Pet tried to- go to church at Bethel because she didn't like the Presbyterian style of baptism." "What?" -Ma said'- in astonishment "The Idea of a horse thinking about baptism." "I .think it. Just the same," T. Paer persisted doggedly. "When she went to Bethel she got - Med up in a httchin' shed. 'nd when she went to Zena she stood out In the open nd got sprinkled nearly ; every Sunday." , . "Bosh!" Ma snapped. "It alnt decent to be frivolous about snob things." - "I ain't frivolous." T. Paer answered, "from my way of thlnkln' old Pet bad more religion'n most peopleve got She done what she ought to when she knew she couldn't get all th reward that was com In' to her because her teeth was gone nd she couldn't chew her oats." "You've shunted us off from 'going to church day," Ma complained. Tro in fa vor of that idea." '; "It'd be all -right," T. Paer conceded, "If they'd have church la the afternoon that day." ..." "Why in the afternoon V Ma asked suspiciously. . "So I'd have time to black my shoes after I got up in the morning, T. Paer" told her.

Along the edges of the Green Forest the maple trees were beautiful in deep red and golden yellows. The oak leaves had turned a rich russet and the hickory leaves were a yellow brown. Only the Pine and the hemlock and the fir and the spruce trees were still green. And it was all very, very beautiful aa Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun smiled . down from the blue, blue sky. But over where the beech trees grew were, many of the Green Forest people "with no thought of all the loveliness around them. The truth Is their thoughts were all of their stomachs. Tea, sir; it was of their stomachs. JThey had gath ered there for a feast one of the great est feasts of the year the feast of beechnuts. So they could think of noth ing else. . But for most ef them the feast was being delayed. True. Jack Frost bad opened the little hunks with his bard ringers the night before, but only a. few, a very few, of the little, sweet brown ijota had fallen to the ground. They must be shaken out and not a single Merry Little Breese bad appeared to do- the shaking. To all but Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, and Rusty the Fox Squlr-J rel, and Chatterer the Red Squirrel, this was moBt disappointing and provoking. But the Squirrel cousins were glad of it That is because-they. were selfish. They could climb the trees and take the little, sweet, brown nuts 4ut. of . their husks, - and they were working with might and main and hoping the Merry lattle Breeses would forget to come at Careless Shampooing - -Spoils Jthe Hair . Soap should be used very carefully. If you want to keep your hair look Iryr its best Most soaps and prepared 'shampoos contain too-, much alkali. This dries -the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruin it. , ' The best thing for steady use Is Alulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless). and is better than anything, else you can 1 One or two teaspoonsful of Mulsi fied will cleanse the hair and scalp k thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water ana run it in. , it makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle Of dust dirt dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. " , '.:. ' . ,t .... y .'

But that is the way with selfish people. Down below waited Lightfoot the Deer and Mrs. Llghtfoot and the. twin fawns. They stood at a little distance waiting patient ly for the coming of the Merry Little Breeses. After a while Mother Deer arid the fawns lay down, while Llghtf oot kept watch for possible danger. They felt sure the Merry Little Breeses would come and then their patience would be re warded. Directly under the beech trees was an other family -the Bear family. Mother Bear and the twins, Baxer and Woof woof,' were together, and a Uttle to one aide was Buster Bear, who, as you know, was father of the twins. All were impa tient. Buster and .Mother bear already bad shaken all the branches they could reach by standing un. - they and the cubs had picked up and eaten all the little, sweet brown nuts that bad fallen. But these bad been only a taste.; Back and forth and 'round and 'round shuffled Buster Bear and Mother Bear. They were net still aa Instant The twins, were Just like them. The longer they waited the more impatient they grew and the more Impatient, they be came the worse became their tempers. Buster and Mother Bear growled at each other when they passed. The twins sot into a fight over a little nut they both spied at the same Instant, and Mother Bear spanked both and ate the nut Occa sionally a little nut would rattle down. shaken out of its husk by Happy Jack or Rusty or Chatterer jumping from branch to branch high overhead. The cubs would race for it and.tJje one which failed to set It would b cross and sulky. Perhaps yea wonder that one of those Bears did not climb a tree and shake It It was because fbey knew that by the time they could get down to the gruond again ; all those nuts would have been picked up by the others watting below. So Jolly, round bright Mr. Sun climbed higher and higher In the blue, blue sky, and the Deer family waited patiently and the Bear family waited impatiently and grew 'more and mora ill-tempered and the. Squirrel cousins worked harder than ever, and over on the Green Meadows the Merry Little Breeses of Old Mother West Wind danced and played and tor got they had been seat to shake the nut trgea. ;-: - i . :'; . y (Coprrlaht I21. fc T.
