THE OLD MAN, HIS DOG, HIS PIPE, and the 'I'UMBLE-DOVVN SHACK + + + 'l'l10l'6 was once an old man who lived hy himself in an old tum- bled-down shack in the lane. He didn't have anything' except his house, his dog, and his 'pipeg so he sat on the steps of his house in the sun and smoked his pipe, while the dog ehased butterflies up und down the lane. One day 21 prinee eanne ggzilloping' up on El white horse, eolored bluek. NVhoa , cried the prince, and the white horse, 4-olored black. stopped in front of the tuinrbled-down shaek in the lane. Ah, my good man, said the princ-e, it is .a fine day, is it not Z 'Phe old man never answered. Are you happy 1? , asked the prince. At that the tumbled-down slim-k shook from the tip of the root to the rotting' foundations, the dog' started ehasing' its tail and yelping, .and the pipe puffed out smoke until you could hardly see the old man, but the old man never moved. So the prince elimrbed sadly upo11 his white horse, eolored blaek, und rode away, leaving the old man, his pipe, his dog, and the tumbled down shack there. And someday when you haven 't any- thing to do, you can go north ot' some place, then turn east to no plziee, and about a mile south of another place you will find the old man, his pipe, his dog, and the tumbled-down shaek. Ask him the secret of his silence. -Fred Schill -l--I-+ CQWLWLXBWQ a fool for his grit, or at kmzvre for his lmnesty, and they will receive you unto their bosom.-FIEL1 rims. .
