Mr. Caterpillar Builds His Winter House

Mr. Caterpillar, higher and higher
and higher. Till he passed the bumps
where the branches had been trimmed
off, till he left the first branches' fafr be
hind and found In front of him the big
jest, strongest branch of the whole tree.
Then he stopped to get his breath and
decide on the next move.
"A very line tree," he said, nodding his
head approvingly "I couldn't have found
a better If I had hunted the world over.
And now for choosing tho particular
spot."
He wiggled his nose, squirmed along
the tree trunk a bit; and then, for no
apparent reason, started out on the sec-

ond branch. "This Is the best branch on
the tree," he said, decidedly, "and right
here Is where I spend the winter,"
Now at that very minute, who should
he see coming toward the tree but
Tommy Sparrow. And of course he spied
Mr. Caterpillar at once.
"How do you do, this fine autumn

and your family were all dead,"
"Dead?" asked the caterpillar, In
amazement "What a queer, queer thing
to think I We are none of us deadl
Whatever made you think we were?"
"Because I never saw any of you about

As an Illustration of this fact, amidst,
the documents produced In r. law case

was the following appeal on the lart
of a foolish lad who expected loo much,
nnd was, therefore, foiedoomed to disap

St. Augustine Or a doctor. Hut I would

St. Anatolc Or a schoolmaster, only not

St Basll-I will take him whatever his

Busy Individual
An old man In the Potato Hill neigh
borhood Is quoted as saying: "All I have
to do now Is to full sheets oft tho
calendar pad, I have all day to pull oft
tho Thursday sheet, and make the pad
lead Friday, but sometimes I get three
or four days behind. After I get the
sheet on the pad changed, it is tlmo to
look for my glasses, which are usually
lost Vou may think old people have
llttlo to do, but they are really quite
busy."

to take a walk In the afternoon. Whlla
strolling along he heard a piano, and,
following the sound, came to a house on
which was a sign rending:
"Miss Jones Piano lessons X cents an

Pausing to listen, he heard the young
woman trying to play one of Chopin's
nocturne, and not succeeding very well.
Paderewskl walked up to the liouto and
knocked. Mies Jones came to the door
and recognlaed him at once. Delighted,
ahe Invited him In and he sat down and
played the nocturne as only Paderewskl
can, afterwaid spending an hour Jn cor

him and he departed
Some months afterward he returned to
the town, and again took the same, walk.
He soon came to the home of Miss
