They told tilm that when they were free they ate a great deal In the full aud so could go without eating for n while. And the r.oo was warm, too, which made a difference, for then they did not have to look for a warm place us they did when they were free. And the wannest thing to do in tlie wintertime when free was to sleep. That wns what a good many or uie animals bnd said. The prulrle dogs told Mm that they slept In the wintertime whether they were in the soo or not and that they lug holes and went down to sleep In them as soon as the cold weather came along. ; Then, after Blllle Brownie had dulled the son nnlmuls he went to call on many of the fur-coat- animals.

"But B'llie Brownie," said Mrs Roi.ln, "you are calling almost between seasons, aren't 'ou?" "It'a not winter and yet It'a not spring."

While the usual flood of bills can be poured into the legislative mill at this session, the conservative ele-ment say that the measures will be held down to the minimum and that biUs will not be allowed to die in com-mittee, but will have to be disposed of within the time set by th rules which compel the reporting of a bill when the committee has had it for fif-teen days. This, it is believed, will prevent any vicious legislation being enacted. The intention of the leaders in both houses it not to make a record, but to so steer the legislative ship that it will make the voyage across the leg-islative sea in the time which is pro-vided, by law, sixty days, so that there 'ome'42 per cent of the taxes were subjected to the delinquent penalty of 3 per cent, but of these 85 per cent were paid before sale date.
