Tart I.
Black Fox hurt often -heard" th^.t
there wore witches and fairies "living
somewhere in the forest, but he h4?l
never seen one and did not bother ?v?n
to wonder where they had their home
until one day he thought of some
thing which would need the help ofi.i
witch.
So one night he began to huntartd
found the cave where an old witch'arid
her black cat. lived. They were danc
ing about a big kettle of something
boiling over a fire outside the-^daTe
and for a second Blaek Fox thought
of runiiine away.
Rut instead )??' hid behind a. -rock
and watched the Strang* pair. Mo
saw the old witch dip into the bolliitjg
pot and take out a cupful of some
thing and give it to the black cat to
drink, which chanced the cat into a
fox just like himself.
"Ah. this is just the place I am
looking for." said Black Fox. running:
up to the witch, who was so startled
by seeing two foxes she almost tum
bled into the pot.
"Madam, I want your help,", said
Black Fox. "f want to have the power
to chance myself into a turkey when
ever I like and the power to change
back again also."
"What will you give me if T do
this?" asked the greedy old creatrfrt.
Black Fox had not thought of that.
He had always got everything' :fftr
nothing' so far and this was a new
idea, but he saw at once that this'lime
he would have to pay,? so he asked
her what she wanted. ? i:
"As you have no cold to give," .said
the witch. "I will be -easy wlth .you
and ask for only a stone, but it must
be taken from the bottom of the priol
that is in the middle of the forest and
from no other place."
Black Fox almost laughed at - thi.*?.
It sounded so easy. He promised." $t
once to begin the next night. bringing
a stone from the forest pool.
Off he ran to the pool, and then l\e
thought for the first time that.'.tftis
was no easy task for him to dive-eauh
night to the bottom and bring up a
Stoiw. .' i.
"Uow Is she to know, T woncUh
where the stone comes from?" thought
sly Black Fox. "I am not going to
risk my life every night gettingt/a
ston?* from that deep pool when\tjiffe
are plenty of stones right here on the
ground." ???'.?
The next night, as he was on his
way to the witch's" cave Black "'P'^x
picked up a stone from the gro'ufui
and took it along.
"Here is the stone from the bottom
"f the pool, wise Witch," said FH^tk
Fox. "and {low I beg of you be "nb.l,cK
and give me the power I crave."
The old witch looked, at the BtdtfW.
and she knew at once Black For had
tried to deceive her, but said riot "k
word. Instead, she went to the boll1
ing kettle and gave him some of the
Sluid in a cup. "Drink!" she said, aftd
had Black Fox noticed the look in her
eyes he would have dropped the cup
and run. To
But lie didn't. So he drank it and
asked. "What shall I do next,---wirfe
Witch?" ?-r.i
"Wiser than you think." muttered
the witch under her breath, but ?he
told Black Fox all that he had to- do
was to wish three times when he
wanted to change into a turkey, and it
would be granted. .
"But remember this will only last
for tonight. Tomorrow you must brijig
me another stone from the bottopv_of
the forest pool and from no other
place." *
Black Fox promised, and off he
trotted, laughing to himself tlis^t ;(J>e
old witch did not know the differefiie.
and it would be easy to bring .the
stone each night.?Copyright. 1919.

? He Had a Bite.
Mr. Jones keeps a shop, where f'ffe
sells fishing tackle. For the sake'lif
advertisement he has a large rod
hanging outside, with an artificial
fish at the end of it. In the early
hours of the morning a man. rather
the worse for hlfc night's enjoyment
caught sight of the fish, and went
and knocked. Jones, being in bed,
looked out of the window and asked,
"Who's there?" j
"Don't make a noise." was the rel
ply, "but come, down as quickly as
you can "
Thinking something serious mustJb*
the matter, Jones dressed like light
ning and came down as quickly, an
possible "What's the matter?* '/lie
asked breathlessly.
"Hush!" was the reply. "Pull y^lil
line in quick. You've got a bite.""

Johnny was at the grocery store..-.
"I hear you have a little sister a,?,
your house." said the grocer. t> ?'?
"Yes, sir." said Johnny.
"Do you like that?" was quer.ie/t-..
"I wish it was a boy," said Johnny,
"so T could play marbles with ? hi,nr.
and baseball."
"Well." said the. storekeeper, "why
don't you exchange your little sister
for a boy?"
Johnny reflected for a minute, then
he said, rather sorrowfully:
"Wo can't now; it's too late. We've
used her four weeks."
A Point of Law. *
A prisoner in court was asked thfe
usual question, "Guilty or not guilty?"
"Yes," responded the man at the?bwr,
"What's that?" asked the Ju^lga
sharply. "I was asked whether I-./WvH,3'
guilty or not gutlty, and, of course,,.I
am! Df the two conditions I eoujUJ
not well escape, hoth." "But which''Af*
you?" "Oh. go on judge! What's'Yrfe
Jury for'.'"
