Many times Chatterer has sat and studied that corn ctib, trying to see a way of getting into it. Many There is very little aroupd Farmer Brown's that Chatterer the Squir- rel does not know about. Chatterer is naturally inquisitive. He is naturally filled with curiogity. Being such a small, spry person, he usually manages to gratify his curiosity. Chatterer is, as you know, a very clever small person. He is one of the smartest of the small ple in the Green Forest. So when K:Oseu out to do a thing he usually finds & way. It may take him some time, but sooner or later he finds a way. Chatterer likes corn. Always he man- ages to lay in a greny good supply be- fore the corn is husked and put in the corn erib. That corn erib has always been a source of temptation to Chat- terer. There have béen times when he times he has seen Sammy Jay fly over and pick out a few grains of corn from between the cracks and has ground his teeth because there was no way for him to get a share. - One day in early Winter, very early in the morning, Chatterer had gone over to Farmer Brown's dooryard “to see what he could find there. ‘Black Pussy had surprised him, and to éscape her Chatterer had scampered up a clothes post, in the top of which he | had sat and scolded as only Chatterer’ can scold. Black Pussy prétended she was going to climb up, and Chatterer scolded so fast that it is & wonider he didn't lose his breath. At last Black Pussy gave up and went off under the back porch. Chatterer was just preparing to run down to the ground and scamper to the nearest tree when those bright, beady little éyes of his made a discovery. He stopped scolding. He sat still and stared to make sure that his new discovery was just what. it seemed to be. You see, he d just discovered that a clothes line had been stretched from that clothes post to a corner of thé corn crib, and that was the nicest kind of a bridge for & natural born tightrope walker like Chatterer. good to be 3 ) then 'he faitly ran the rest of the way across, the clothes line he a reach the edge of the roof of the ¢orn crib. In a jiffy he was on the roof. How he did long to set that torigue of his free. He wanted to chatter for very joy. But he was t0o wise to do this. It would be just as well if no one knew that he was there. Surely, there must be some way of getting into the corn crib from thé roof. If necessary he could gnaw a hole and get in that way. The first thing to do was to look that corn crib all over as well as he could from the roof. This he proceeded to do. (Copyright, 1830.)

The 01d Inventor's Story. ‘There recently passed away in a New York hospital & man who spent almost a lifetime and considerable money in an endeavor to prove that he was the in- ventor of the fountain pen. He was un- able to win out against the powerful in- fluences arrayed against him. It is a fact_that he was certainly active in the fleld years and years before the use of the fountain pen became general. His first pn was operated by a screw cap, ink to the pen point by an occasional turn. He afterwards invented a self-filler. In the early 90s his advertisements appeared in P. T. Barnum's first circus m{:flm and in the program of Tony r's theater, both ventures long since passed away. | He afterward established s plant in Baltimore, which was wiped out Tond Ticovery and since recovery :vw a small MY UNCLE Tim 1S TAKIN' { LESSONS AT THE CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL ! .
