laro was so surprised to see a
baby in the bundle that he had not
said a word. He just sat still and
looked astonished.
"Well, Taro, how is it with yarn?"
said his father. "Would you like to
keep the baby, too?"
"I'd even rather have him than a

And that was a great deal for Taro
to say, for he had wanted a puppy
for ever so many weeks.
"So would I rather have him than
a puppy," the father said; "ever so

Just then the baby puckered 'up
WHY?
Is the Negro's Hair Kinky?
Examination of the furs of dif
ferent animals shows that those
whh straight-haired-pelts live in
the northern sections of the
world, while those with curly,
crjnkly fur corrte from the warm
er climates just as those
which have white hair come from
the region of snow and ice and
those with black or brown hair
inhjabit the more temperate
climates. The reason for this is
that fur of the northern animals
is intended principally to keep
the wearers warm, while the
function of the fur of animals
which five in- tropieal climates
is to protect them from the direct
rays of the sun a result which
is accomplished by the curls and
kinks of the black or tyown fur.
The hair of the human being is.
of course, intended 4o serve the
same purpose as the fur of the
lower animals. The original
habitat of the negro being Africa,
it was necessary that he should
have some protection from the
heat, and this is provided by the
twist in his hair which makes it
an air space, much after the fash
ion of a double roof which tem
pers the rays of the sun and
serves to keep his head cool Ven
during the most intensely hot
weather. The white, "red and
yellow races, which are accus
tomed to live in more temperate
climates, are not faced by this
Necessity, for a heat-resisting
head covering and their hair is
therefore straight and lighter in
color than that of the negro
while the Scandinavians and oth
ers who inhabit the colder lands
approach more closely the white
haired animals of thp north.

a mouth and a great big squeal
came out of itl You would never

Then Natsu, the,

"There, there, little one I Come to
your old Natsu and she will carry
you to mother again."
Let me carry him, lake begged.
No, let me, said Taro.
But Natsu said. "No, no, I will
carry him myself. But you may
come with me, if you want to, and
see your mother.
So Taro and Take and their father
all tiptoed quietly into the mother's
room and sat down on the floor be
side her bed. -They
sat on the floor because
everybody sits on the floor in Japan.

it was just as nice as a party, be

Tarq and Take, left the room softly

sat down on the top step to talk
over the wonderful thing that had
happened.

It isn't very often that I say any

My mother-in-law came into my
room, her head up in what Dicky
calls her "-best Mary-Stuart-Going-to-Execution
manner," the glint of
battle in her eyes. If my eyes. had
been closed I would have known
that she was. armed for combat from
her voice and her phraseology. The
little speech with which she greeted
me is one that always precedes her
unfolding of any grievance, real or
fancied, which she may have.

without her, but she can never real
ize that the old days of maids over
whose heads could be held the threat
of dismissal have fled forever, and
it is a perpetual grievance with her
that I hold the reins of discipline so
lightly over tempestuous, garrulous,
but loyaland efficient little Katie.
I 'was in no mood for either con
ciliation or listening to complaints
against Katie. The news of the ar
rangement by means of which Dicky
and Edith Fairfax were to be best
man and maid of honor at the wed
ding of Leila Fairfax and Alfred
Durkee had upset me more than I
cared to admit, and the way in which
Dicky had broken the news to me,
with his cutting reference to Major
Grandland, had not helped matters
aiiy. ' My conscience was .pricking
me, also, for having allowed my tem
ner ttflare ud in a caustic retort to
his gibing. If I could have kept mv
lips ciosecrr i was mtteny reneciing
at my mother-in-law's entrance, I
need not now be . on the terms
with my husband, which Dickv,
in his ' good-natured moments,
dubs the "pardon-me-for-disturbinj-you-stage-of-a-scrap."

,'Times Have Changed."'
But if I had flared up atVDicky
there was all the more reason why
I should not allow, myself to get in
an altercation with his mother. So
I reined in my temper with a jerk
and shut the Stable door tightly
upon . it. '
"What is the trouble, mother?" I
asked, trying to make my voice as
sugary as possible. " "Sit down, 'won't
you? You look warm."
"No, thank you." Her tone held
the icy note which told me that her
mood was that of the martyr who
mustVpeak her mind for the last
time before submitting her neck to
the guillotine. "I can say what I
have to say better standing." '
I shrugged my mental shoulders.
When Mother Graham announces
that she can say things better in a
standing posture it is time for the
members of her family to "take to
the tall timber," Dicky's invariable
suggestion for a retreat. There was
but one tlnrng.to do, wait quietly but

Seeks Kidnaped Child .
To Prevent Mother's Trial
Miss Robina Kammcrer, 1114
Frederick street, left Omaha Tues
day night for Winnipeg, Canada, in
an effort to find her brother, Charles,
and his 3-year-old daughter, whom
he is accused of spiriting away from
his divorced wife. Her mother, Mrs.
Julia Kanimcrer, is cited to appear in
Judge Sears' court Monday to show
why she should not be found guilty
of contempt of court in aiding and
r.betting her son. If the child, which
was awarded to its mother, Anna
Kammerer, 2201 'Vinton street, when
the couple were divorced, is re
lumed, procedings against the
grandmother will be quashed.
Wanted to Take Oath on
Blood of White Rooster
Louis Ahko, Chinese proprietor of
a restaurant, lost his grate case yes
terday, when Justice of the Peace
Collins ordered him to pay Andreas
Peterson $33.34 for the grates. Ahko
contended that the grates were not
good for broiling steaks. Peterson
alleged they were cast to specifica
tion the .Chinese furnished. Ahko
sought to have the court administer
a Chinese oath by using the blood
of freshly-killed white rooster.
Justice Collins decided the Bible was
sufficiently binding.

I'M THE GUY who throws his
cigar or .cigaret ashes or pipe leav
ings on the floor.
Why shouldn't I?
I don't want them. I've got to
throw them somewhere. That's as
good a place as any.
What difference does it make -anyway?
Must I hold them till I get
out? Or shove them in my pocket?
Or search around for an ash tray
or some other receptacle?
Why you object is beyond me.
A fellow ought not be compelled
to hang on to them or dumpthem
into his pocket. v
Anyway, they don't hurt the floor.
The maid rr the janitor can sweep
them up without any trouble.
Besides they're good for the car
pets, drive the moths out and put
a shine on the nap.
If you object, that's your worry,
not mine. Keep an 'ash tray handy,
or a waste basket, or let me do
as I please. So long as it suits me,
it should you.
That's how I feel about it.

"In my day," Mother Graham he
tan after a long pause in which she
was evidently reviewing the points
of her address, "an invitation to the
younger members of a family with
out the older people being included
was ati' open insult. Rut times have
changed, and I tmderptand from
to. the Fairfax-Durkee wedding at
Dundee. Mrs. . Durkee was just
over, so excited that her hair almost
turned its real color again."
"My Own Opinion."
If I had wished proof of my mother-in-law's
intense auger this refer
ence would have clinched it. It is
an open secret to all of us that "Her
Fluffiness" indulges in the process of
what she calls "touching up" -bet
hair. She docs it so artistically,
Richard that you and . he arc going
tne toibie. Aiy motner-m-iaV in
tensely disapproves of the practice,
but she likes her little neigbllor so
well that only when she is very
angrv does she refer to it.
I opened my lips to say that it wa
extremely unlikely that I should go
to North Carolina with the veddingv
party. But my lips uttered enyrely
different words as . my coinmon
stnsp touched my tongue. ,
"But, mother, I have heard Leila
ask you repeatedly to her wedding."
"Yes, in what kind of a "way?
Merely-perfunctory, she was sure of
giving' lief cake and keeping it, too.
I fancy I knv the difference be
tween the invitation she gave me and
the one she gave you. Oh, I've heard
her urging-you!" ,
