I'M THE GUY who borrows
your garden tools and returns them
all broken and rusty. '
Why should I bother to repair
them, or pay to have them fixed
when I know YOU'LL have to have
them fixed before you can use
them?
The breakage is a risk you run
when you lend them to vine. You
might have broken them yourself, so',
what's the difference.
And as for the rust, that's on 'em
because I left them out in the rain
instead of either taking them in the
house or returning them to you
when I finished using them. I
might have wiped them off with
kerosene before I brought 'em back,

V. How can city children study
nature, except in books?
There is a good deal of "nature"
in the city, if one looks for.it. The
parks have trees and birds and some
flowers. Many streets have trees,
and all have English sparrows. In
or near many cities are natural his
tory museums; these are of great in

WHY?-
Are Peacock Feathers Consid
) ered Unlucky?
Copyright. 1920. By tha Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.) i
Probably on account of the
"eyes" which appear-in the tail
of the peacock, the feathers of
this bird have been ' considered
unlucky ever since the days of
the early Egyptians who main
tained that the markings of the
tail feathers were symbolic of the
evil eye and brought ill fortune
to any house in which they were
displayed.
The mythological story of the
birth of the peacock bears out
this superstition. According to
this legend, Argus was the min
ister of Osiris, king of Egypt,
who was left to protect Isis, the
queen, when the monarch start
ed on one of his military expe
ditions. Argus, who was reput
ed to have a, hundred eyes, soon
plotted against the queen regent,
imprisoned her and' proclaimed
himself king. Because of this
insurrection Mercury was sent
against him with a large army,
took him captive and cut off
his head, but Juno maintained
that the hundred eyes should not
be lost to the world, so she set
them in the tail of the fowl
known as the "peacock," whence
they continue to spy upon the
world.
Mohammedan folk-lore ac-.
counts for the raucous voice and
unsightly feat of the peacock
with a story to the effect that
it was this bird which opened
the gates of Paradise to Satan
nid that, as a punishment, the
fowl was sentenced to lose its
'leautiful voice and dainty feet,
'hough it was permitted to re
(ain its tail. The legends of the
majority of peoples, however,

Eileen and Larry told her about
the prize, and about Lady Kathleen
buying the pig, and about seeing the
Tinker, while their Father'was put
ting up Colleen.
Then when he came in with all
his bundles, and took the three gold
en sovereigns out of his pocket, to
show to the Mother, the Twins
couldn't keep still another minute.
"It's for youl To pay the rent!"
thev cried.
The Father and Mother looked at
each other. "Now, what are they
at all," said Mrs. McQueen, "but the
best children in the width of the
world? Wasn't I after telling you
that we'd make it out 1 somehow?
And to think of her being a
thoroughbred like that and we never
knowing it at all." She meant the
pifs! 1
But Mr. McQueen never gave
a word. He just gave Larry and
Eileen a great hug.
Then Mr. McQueen went over all
the errands with his wife, and, last
of all, he brought out the shawl.
"There, old woman," he said, "is a
fairing for you!"
"The Saints be praised for this
