JENKINS, BOLSHEVIST,
WAS QUICKLY CURED.
HIS FAMILY WANTED TO PUT INTO EFFECT THE
PRINCIPLES HE PREACHED, AND HE SUDDENLY
DECIDED THEY WERE NOT SO DESIRABLE.
There was a man named Jenkins
who had a home, a job, seven sons
and a grouch. He was a good pro-
eider.. In his home he was boss. His
wife cooked the dishes he preferred,
chose her clothing to win his approv-
al and asked his advice concerning
everything. She did not question his
authority. His sons acepted his
word as the law and li%irred their
:feet to a lively pace when he called.
Jenkins had a grouch because the
foreman in the plant where he work-
eel wore a white 'collar and spent
:most of his time at a desk, and yet
.received a wage larger than his own;
Imd bcluse the man who owned the
plant rode In limousine and carried
4 Itlking stick.
When e whistle blew for quitting
time Jenkins would join a group af
his fellows on the street corner and
talk about the rights of the workers.
The more he talked and the more he
listened the stronger became his con-
viction that he was opnressed, and
he learned to pronounce the word
"capitalist" so that it hissed l iJe a
serpent,
When he went home at night and
sat, down to supper he entertained
his wife and his sons by lecturing
to them concerning the new clay that l

Jenkins glared and strode out of

Supper ,xvl a iT ihsa{.sactory
meal. The boys were in high spirits
and talked incessantly of the new day
and its freedom.
"After supper," declared Bob, aged
send had two acres of strawberrie
one acre of which was wild land a
year ago, covered with stumps and
brush. On this he raised $3,600 of
be.tries and has orders to (late for
70,000 plants at $8 per thousand and
130,000 more to sell which an ad in
the Post-Intelligencer would quickly
dispose of.
On October 30 there were ripe ber-
for the average apple box. The in-
ferior luality of box lumber, how-
ever, generally prevents its use for
construction purposes.
During the season 1918-19 the larg-
est but not the only fruit shipping
exchang'e in California used nearly
15,000,000 wooden boxes for shipping
oranges, lemons and grape fruit.
These boxes required 135,000,000 feet

"Yes, I'm sure," replied Jenkins.
"We have groped in darkness, but we
are near the light. I would be proud
to have my sons learn this great
doctrine while it is new."
He Sees a Light..
When Jenkins came home the fol-
lowing ecening he saw a red flag
tacked to his front porch. For some
reason he did not attempt to analyze
he felt a touch of shame and glanced
:furtively up and down the street to
see if the flag had attracted atten-
tion. Then hs face set into hard
lines and he said to himself: "What
matter? Someone must be the pio-
neer. The boys have caught the
spiSt. I am glad."
The living room did not appear as
neat as usual, and as he passed
through the dining room he noticed
that the dinner dshes were yet un-
washed. He found his wife in the
kitchen, smiling and humming as she
went about the preparation of sup-
per.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"Been downtown all clay?"
"Nothing wrong," she replied. "We
have all turned Bolshevik, and I
didn't feel in a humor for work
this afternoon. I finished that book
Mrs. Stallings loaned me."
Jenkins started to speak but
thought: better f it and went into
the bathroom to Wash u1
strode to the front door. When he
returned he held tattered red flag
in one hand and aa picket from the
fence in the other. His face was
white and there was a steady light
in his eye.
"I've had a plenty," he announced.
I started this thing, and I take the
blame. But what I start I fini

or I shall 'consider it my duty as a

republic to lick hell out of every-
body present."
And then the Jankins fancily rose
and fell on his neck and wept and
explained "away the things that had
affrighted him, and there was great
joy in at household.
The following morning as Jenkins
approached the factory a hairy little
man whose name ended in Witch"
took him by the arm and said:
