Farmer Green always had a wood pile in the lack yard. Sometimes it was big. Sometimes it was tit tic. Sometime it was mostly made up of four-foot loss. Sometimes the log tr all split and' sawed, ready to burn. When Farmer Green and the hired man had nothing more prcosiim t do they set to work on tiic woodpile. It was surprising how fact the big stick grew into firewood under their axes and taws. One day they started sawing and 1 i Spot never once left the woodpile, .vrhile dohnakt wtu sating his dinnee splitting when Johhnie Green and old dog Spot were roaming through the woods. And when Johnnie and Spot came back home, just in time for dinner, they found a great heap of firewood lying on the ground Romance in Origin Of Superstitions By FRANK H. SIMONDS. - The Extra Plate. If an extra plate be accidently placed on the table when it is being set for a meal it is a sign that some visitor is coming hungry. This is a superstition found in various sections of the country: the American rolk Lore society specified Ohio as one of its habitats. It is, of course, based upon the idea of the ancients that what was conncetctl in thought must be connected in fact, which idea pro duced the theory of that sympathetic magic which, from primitive times, had such a strong hold upon the minds of our ancestors. They were diligent seekers after the relation of cause and effect. Every result had a cause, therefore every cause, every act, must have an effect. What would be the natural effect of placing an extra plate upon the table? Why, the effect produced, or signified, by the association of ideas, which would be that of someone coming hungry only admit, as did the ancients that what is connected in inougni is con nected in fact and the rest 13 easy the sequence of events clearly marked out. It should be noted, too, that in this system of reasoning to avoid the cause was to avoid the ef fect. Most of the "don'ts" in mod ern superstitions are based upon this point. Avoid the omen and you avoid what the omen portends. Therefore if you have barely enough for your own dinner be careful not to place an extra plate on the tabic and then if a hungry visitor should drop in it will be. by pure accident and not owing to your own careless ness.

The opal is today's talismanic stone,' bringing its wearer pood luck and brilliancy of mind. The super stition that it is unlucky should not be held against it on this day. Todav's natal stone is jade, be- lieved by the , Chinese to endow those born on an anniversary of to day with long life, and the power to enjoy old age. Green is today's color; though symbolic of joy and hope, it was be lieved by the ancients to be destruc tive to friendship; .: The yellow daisy is today's flower; it protects from evil the home which it adorns. " v (Copyright. 1SS1. Wheeler Syndicate1 Inc.) WHY where there had been nothing but dirt when they started for the woods soirtV noun before. Old do Spot ran trailit to the woodpile and began milling and scratching and whining. If Johnnie Green hadn't been hun gry, he would have jil more heed to Spot's behavior. Hut the r.en had already gone into the house. And Johnnie hurried after them, leaving Spot to note about the wood pile as he pleated. "Humph!" Spot growled. "Seems to me Johnnie Green mitr'it stay here a while and help me. I've been chasing woodchucks and squirrel for him all the morning. And showed him a few birds, too." Spot never once left the woodpile while Johnnie was eating his dinner, When Johnnie and his father. m J the hired man came out of the hous: later, old Spot began to yelp. He made frantic efforts to burrow, down beneath the pile of tirewood, stop ping now and then to run up to his yo'ing mister ami bark. Now that he had had his dinner, Johnnie Green was all ready for any sort of fun. "Spot smells some kind of game in the woodpile I Johnnie exclaimed. "Perhaps lie docs," said his father. "But I don't sec how he's going to get hold of it unl;s we move the woodpile. And I n't believe we'll quit work to help the old dog catch a chipmunk or maybe a rat." "Come on!" Spot begged Johnnie, as plainly as he could bark. "Move some of this wood for me! There's something tinder it that I want to get my teeth on." "All right All right!". Johnnie told him. And to his father John nie said, "Do you care if I throw some of the stove wood over on the other side of the pile?" "If you're going to move any wood " Farmer Green replied with a wink at the hired man "if you're going to move any wood, you might as well move it into the wood shed and pile it up neatly." When he heard the suggestion, Johnnie Green looked very glum. l'or a minute or two he thought he wouldn't bother to help old Spjt find what he was looking for. But Spot teased and teased. And Johnnie couldn't help being curious to know what it was that Spot was after. "Maybe there's a muskrat here," he said to himself. "If there is, I'll have his skin to pay me for my trouble," (Copyright, 1921, by Metropolitan Xeirt paper Service.)

J. MUNDY. Cause and Effect Because another has idea, which do not coincide with your own you condemn without hearing. Everything In this world conUts of three things; the matter referred to, what that matter does its uction; and what happens as a result. Cause and effect would be a simpler way to express it. Because your eyesight is we.ik and you cannot distinguish details, you might not be able to tell the differ ence between an apple and a toy balloon which hung on an apple tree together. The simple fact that you hear drip Ing water, unless you know that storm conditions exist, might its like ly as not seem to you a leak in your own plumbing pipes if you were in a position tt hear either. Granulated sugar, cornmeal and common beach sand feel much the same if your sense of touch is none too keen. It is well to give others the leeway in their," thoughts , and ideas which you reserve for yourself, and. if you did there would be less religious and otherwise world intolerance. . One great big general law you will I find at the bottom of everything which can happen in this world. ?i juiik at a mail or a woman keeps within the law, what is the dit fcrence to you whether- he or she wears a raincoat or carries an um brella to keep dry.

While the "dam" in this case Sounds like a bit of profanity, it should be noted that it is spelled without the final "a" which denoted the expletive and is, in reality, noth ing more than an ordinary dam used to prevent the encroachment of a liquid in this case the molten solder ahich forms part of the stock in trade of every tinker, the father of the present-day plumber. The genuine tinker's dam was de vised in the old days when rosin in stead of acid, was commonly used for soldering. To prevent the solder spluttering away over the surround ing landscape or wobbling off into pace or trickling down into the tinker's boot, a little dam or en " closure of warn rosin was built around the hole or joint to be sold ered. This invariably melted at the critical moment, in fact, it wasn't worth a damn and the tinker, as he observed the melting, usually gave vent ' to a properly emphasized -Damn!" As Archbishop Trench, in one "of his lectures on the English language, remarks: "Neither the tinker's dam nor the tinker's "damnf was of any avail. It really doesn't matter which one is used for. as an expression of utter uselessness, one , is as good as the other. But 'dam is ; correct so lar as ine nisiorr : i-.i- , kering goes."

Kelly quality has been so well established that it hasn't been necessary. Today, Kellys are better than ever, but their price has been materially lowered.
