'"I Hew in through an open win

hraved a deep fcigh, a if the telling
of the Ulc was costing her much
pain.
"I aaid nothing io nobody," ho
explained, "because I 'didn't with to

broad shelf, I picked out the very
spot where I could have spent the

winter with every comfort in the
world."
At this point Mrs. Ladybug was
overcome by her feelings for a few
pioments. But the company waited
politely until she could go on with
her story.
She soon continued.
"All went well " said Mrs. Lady
bug "all went well until one day
this morning, to . be exact Mrs.
Green opened the closet door and
began to brush and sweep and wipe
and dust. I heard her say that she
was doing her fall cleaning. ; And,
of course, that . pleased me; for I
was glad to learn that she was a neat
housekeeper..:
"And then " here Mrs. Ladybug's
voice broke slightly "and then, the
first thing I knew she spied me and'
cried, 'Ah, ha I A Carpet Bug!'
"The next instant she whisked me
off the shelf with a brush. Of course
played dead the - moment she
uched me. And I fell into the dust-
n and never so much as wriggled
a toe. ' ...j ; ( '
"Soon afterward Mrs, Green set
the dustpan beside a window which
she had already opened. That was
my chance. , J seized it.. I flew out
of the window, j. - And here I cm."
Mrs.-. Ladybug's listeners shook
their heads in sympathy.
"Yoit had a narrow escape," they
told her. .."It's a wonder you got
away." ;
"Yes!" said Mrs. Ladybug. "And
I'm glad now that that window was
open. But for a moment I didn't
much care what became of me. To
think that anybody should mistake
mc for a Carpet Bug! Mrs. Green
ought to know that the Carpet Bug
family are covered with black, white
and red scaler. Ugh!" - '
Mrs. Ladybug shuddered. She was
smooth and shiny herself. . So it
wasn't strange that she should have
felt insulted.
; "Anyhow," she added, "Mrs. Green
is the loser. Toward spring I would
have kept her house plants free from
insects. But. now, of course, she'll
have to do that herself."
"Well' said the ' ' neighbors (or
words, to this effect), "we're glad to
see you again. And now tell us!
where- do you expect to spend the
winter?" : ' ' ' ' -
' -"I'll let you. decide that," Mrs.
Ladybug replied. -..f

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK
We felt, when our pay was three dollars aweck,
That some helpful suggestion we needed;
So we read with delight in a paper one night
How a prosperous man had succeeded.
.We did all the things that he said he had done,
With a high hopeful purpose inspired;
'But we gained no success by our effort unless
You would call it success to be fired.
A year or two later a magazine came
Which told how a dime here and there
Tucked away in the banks put a man in the ranks
Of people with millions to spare,
We saved on our luncheons, we watked down to work,
And bought only celluloid collars;
And we banked every dime for a very long time,
But we've only got sixty-four dollars.
Another great person his recipe wrote
For gaining much power and pelf;
"Don't be backward, he said, "but just go right ahead
And gram off a job for yourself."
We looked !'round the office where we were employed
Till the job that we wanted we picked;
And to take it we tried, but we landed outside
On the pavement, quite thoroughly licked. .
So we asked of a friend who had money in heaps
A man we had known from our youth,
If he'd tell us the mode that he'd gathered his load
And tell us the absolute truth.
He told us we modelled our system on his,
And got quite a nice. bunch of kale;
Then something went wrong and a cop came along
And brutally led us Jp jail. - ,

Putting Your. Best Foot Forward.
You have been entertaining for
some time a certain line of disturb
ing thought.
You find that your mind reverts to
this unpleasant thought, more' and
more.
Soon it . may become a sertous
habit of yours to think irritating
things, i
And the more you harbor such
thoughts the more disturbing they
become. v.,. ;
If they happen to be relative to
waning ability or the likelihood of
your losing your job, they are going
to hamper you greatly in your work
and spoil your productiveness and
possibly be the direct means of you
losing your job.;.
If you think you are falling down
in any way, instead of worrying about
it, take means to improve, instead
of spoiling your chance of improve'
ment by revolving tormenting, de
structive thoughts.
You worry so. much that you are
unfit for practical work, when more
thought given to improving your
production would get you along bet

Singing at Table.
To sing at 'table is a sign . you
wilt be disappointed or that you will
have bad luck. This superstition
is rather common in the rural dis
tricts and is evidently r survival
from the ancient conception of a
charm as words of power cast in a
metrical form to be sung or chanted.
This idea has already been noticed
in considering the superstition with
regard to involuntary rhymes. The
majority of these ancient magic
songs perhaps were like the paeans
which celebrated the healing power
of Apollo or the healing song chant
ed by his relatives over the wounded
Odysseus... The Runes of the old
Scandinavians are good examples of
the versified chanted charm and
they were not always beneficent
charms by any means. Among thej
northern races at least witches and
warlocks "dropped into poetry,"
when they wove their hellish spells
and cast their baleful charms. Wit
ness the witches scene in Macbeth.
Early man, in short, appears to have
conceived the magic power of words
as being greatly increased, cither for
good or evil, when the words were
ung in a versified form.' There was
something mystic about a song:
was not to be lightly dealt with. Now
a person who begins to sing at table
may, for all you know, be casting a
spell upon the food or on the caters
thereof. Some idea of runic incanta
tions appears to linger in the idea
that it is bad luck to sing at table.

Parents' Problems
How can children best be taueht
to be gentle in speech and manner?
Be good examole in the home.
Don't make it necessary for them to
yell the loudest in order to be heard
By much reading aloud and actual
voice culture. A child can learn to
speak softly and go softly as truly
