LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
By THORSTON W. BVROEBB.
A House That Waan’t.
(Copyright. It!*, by T. W Burt... .
Bobby Coon was quite upset. He
bad been so sure that that house of
I’nc' Billy Possum’s was going to t*
bis bouse that It upset him a whole
lot to find that be bad been mistaken
and that he bad got to look some
where else for a house. It made him
angry. Disappointment la very apt
to lead to anger 80 Bobby Coon
«as angry. He thought be was an
fry with Unc’ Billy Poesura. but
really he was angry with himself for
being so stupid as to forget all about
old Mrs. Possum If he bad remem
hered her in the first place he
wouldn't have dreamed of trying to
take that house for himself Two
against one was one too many.
But Bobby didn't let bit anger
show As he looked up at the sharp
faces of Unc’ Billy and old Mrs Pos
sum grinning down at him he grin
ned back and was full of apologies,
pretending that his coming there
waa all a mistake He begged to he
excused, saying that be had got the
wrong house
"To* cert'nly have," snapped old
Mrs Poesum "Must be that yo'
haven't wholly waked up from your
winter sleep to make such a mistake
as this, Mi si ah Coon Don't do It
again, because reckon It might
lead to a Hi’ unpleasantness, and
we-wns don't want anything Uks that
to happen ’ y
Bobby said that that was tbl‘ last
thing In th# world that bs wanted
and kept on apologising as he back
ed down the tree He kept saying
over and over that tt was all a mis
take. a very great mistake, but he
didn't let on that the real mistake
was forgetting about old Mrs. Pos
•urn
"What to' yo’ looking for anew
house. Brer Coon**’ asked UnC Billy
as Bobby reached the ground. "Ah
thought yo' had a very comfortable
home in the big hollow chestnut
tree."
"So I did. So ! did," replied Bob
by "I guess you must have over
slept this spring If you don’t know
wbat has been going on. Unc’ Billy
Fanner Brown baa cut that tree
down I hope he won’t take It Into
his head to do the same th'ng as to
yours **
With this Bobby started off
chuckling to himself. You see. he
knew that that last remark would
be very likely to set Unc’ Billy and
old Mrs Possum to worrying, and It
gave htm a feeling of getting even
with them, a feeling for which he
had no real cause, is you and I
know. As soon as he eras out or
sight of Unc’ Billy and old Mrs Pos

the first things Appraiser Clancy
looked upon this morning In the
course of his official duties was a
trunkful of lace goods Imported from

was $2,100. but the Import duty
amounted to about $l,lOO Some tiny
hand woven handkerchiefs carried
a duty of SS. (t required minute In
spectlon to appraise each piece of
lace.
' What ( want to do." said Clancy.
"Is have Imported goods examined
as quickly and as efficiently as po»
ntble. ao that the Importer wUJ not
suffer delay in receiving bis goods,
and so that the government will get
its full duty."
The war has cut down the amount
of Imported materials by more than
$1,000,000 a year, because Imports
from Germany and Austria ' have
been cu‘ off. When peace la re
stored, the Detroit appraiser's office
will do a buainesa that la expected
to be cloee to the top of the Hat of

are received.

waa almost as good as his old home
