Sweet-Flag. v
Something was puzzling Paddy
Muskrat, Crahdmotjier Green had
come to the millpoud, riding in
a wagon drawn by the old horse Eb
e.iezer. She had tied Ebenezer to
the fence hear the bars. And Paddy
Mufrkrat watqhed her while she went
- 'lie upper end of the pond and
v,v-il herself among the sweet-flag
ttiat crew there.
At first Paddv thought she was
plavinsr.' He had never seen any
. body except boys and girls playing
War the pond. But he knew of no
reason why Grandmother Green
should not play if she wanted to. He
hardly thought that she would hurt
nun or that she could, even it
she should want to'.
Wondering what game the old
lady was playing, Paddy Muskrat
crept nearer. Theft he saw that
Johnnie Green's grandmother was
diceing ' something. ' And whatever
it was that she dug, 'she put it in a
basket that she had brought with
her.
AH at once Paddy grew very an
gry. Grandmother Green was dig
ging sweet-flag! Paddy liked those
.sweet, tender, juicy roots himself.
Anq he thought the old lady had no
light to come there and take any.
Uut after a while Paddy changed
his mind about Grandmother Green.
At last she set her basket on the
ground and little by little as she
'gathered sweet-flag she moved fur
ther and further away . from it. She
ua- filling her apron with the flag
root now. Paddy hoped fche would
"stop soon. And he stole nearer to
Se how much of his goodies Grand
jnother Green was "stealing," as he
called it.
, Then Paddy came upon the basket.
It was half full of beautiful pinkish
roots. And Faddy Muskrat sudden
ly decided that Grandmother Green
wa., a good, kind, old lady, and that
she had been gathering sweet-flag
especially far him. That Paddy
thought that was the reason why
she had left the basket behind her.
He wished he might carry it home
with him.. But it was too big for
Paddy to manage.. So there was
onlv one thing left for him to do.
And Paddy Muskrat crawled right
inside the basket tuid did it.
Yes! Paddy began to eat the
sweet, juicy flag. He ate fast, too,
because it tasted so good and . be
cause he wanted to eat all he could
before Grandmother Green came
liack to get her basket. , .
-He was sorry that she returned as
soon as she did. He heard the old
ladv as she pushed through the rus
tling flags and Joshes, and he
jumped out of the basket and slipped
jway before she saw him.
"Dear me!" Grandmother Green
exclaimed, as she picked up her bas
ket "I thought I had dug more flag
WHY?
Does Fanning Make Us Cool?
(Copyright, 1980. by th Wheeltr
. Syndicate, Inc.)
If it were possible to measure
the precise temperature of the air
put in motion by avfan, we would
find it the same as the surround
ing atmosphere, barring heat
which might be accumulated from
the proximity "ttf other hot ob
jects. These, of v course, exert
their influence upon the still ajr
and transfer a portion of their
heat to it a process which takes
place in - a . diminished degree
when the air is kept constantly
moving by a natural or artificial
beezei
When wejfan ourselves, how
ever, the air surrounding us is
set in motion ' and stimulates
evaporation of the moisture of the
body, so that our actual tempera
ture is lowered. The same process
may be noted in the "water mon
keys" or earthenware jugs so
widely used In the tropics for
cooling water. These vessels are
made of a porous substance which
permits the water gradually to
seep through and accumulate on
the outside, such as perspiration
appears on our bodies. When
placed in the shade or in any
place where a breeze is generally
to be found, this outside mois
ture evaporate quickly and keeps"
the temperature- of the jug con
ilderably lower than the sur
rounding air, thus cooling the
water itself. The decrease in heat
noticeable while fanning is there
for due. not to the coolness of
the air itself, but to the ease with
which the bodily moisture is
evaporated. ,

than that!" She emptied he apron
into the basket. "I'm afraid" she
said "I'm afraid I haven't enough."
So she started off to get more flag.
And Paddy Muskrat promptly stole
tack again, to imisli his meal.
If Paddy Muskrat hadn't at last
eaten all. the sweet-flag he could pos
But oldMr Turtle lawghedathim,
sibly' crowd into, hirnself, Grand
mother Green would, never have
filled her basket. '
What surprised Paddy most was
her taking the basket of flag away
with her, when she left the pond.
"1 hat's queer 1" he "said to himself.
"If she gathered it for me. why does
she carry it off? . . Maybe she
expects me to come to the farm
nouse whenever I'm hungry."
Ahd if Paddy . hadn't , told - the
whole- story to old Mr. Turtle, no
doubt he would have gone to Farm
er Green's house the very next J day.
. But Mr.' Turtle soon put the idea
out of Paddy Muskrat's head. .
"Grandmother Green wasn't gath
ering that sweet-flag for you," Mr.
Turtle' told h!m. "Tomorrow ' is
Jrhnnie Green's birthday. ' And his
grandmother is going to make a
present for him. She will boil the
sweet-flag in maple syrup. It makes
the finest candy you ever tasted,"
he explained.
New, Paddy Muskrat had never
tasted any candy in alt his life.
"I should say " he said "I
should say that that was a fine way
to spoil good sweet-flag. .
Anyhow," he added, "I hope it will
make Johnnie Green ill, because it's
my sweet-flag that his grandmother
took."
But old Mr. Turtle laughed at him.
"Grandmother Green has been
roming to this pond for sweet-flag
ever since she wa,s a girl," he said.
"Long before you were born she
used to come here. I saw her my
self when . I was young. -. .
Maybe you think it was your sweet
flak then," said Mr; Turtle. ,
For a mom;nt Paddy Muskrat
looked a bit foolish. And then lie
tned o look very fierce.
"It she s been coming here all
these years I should think she must
have had more - than her share of
sweet-flag by this time," he cried.

Parents Problems
Is a child of 6 too young to take a
railway journey alone, safely?
Naturally, this child, if possible,
should be accompanied by a grown
up. It however, this cannot possi
bly be-arranged, and it is absolutely
necessary that the child take 4he
journey, then he should be provided
With everything that he can possibly
need on the way, and put in charge
of the conductor. The greatest care
must be taken that he is met at the
icnd of the journey.

HOW TO WRITE
Young man; if you learn to look on with a smile
While the magazine editors fight
To blazon your name on the tablets of fame
By printing whatever you write,
Don't emulate Lardner, or Barrio or 'Cobb,
. They are out of the runninp, poor souls;
They can't plant a punch on another man's lunch
Or wallop the pill for four goals. ;
'- i
Just look at Jack Dempsey; though Shakespeare and Keats
i Have .never swum into his ken,
.This punch-packing bird gets a. dollar a word .
For all of the fruits of his pen.
He pulls the "I geens" and "I dones" right along,
' But Gosh! how his literchure sells (
And in sparring for fame in the' authorship game,
Ho always is there with the bells! ' ' '
Consider Babe Ruth; oil concluding a clout
He calls for his paper and pad j
And writes of the plays that he made in the days
When he was an eight-year old la,d. . , 1
And how, as a man, he became such a bear
( At swinging the willow and ash. ' ,
And though critics may hammer his syntax and grammar,
He sells 'em for bushels of cash!
So 'why. should one worry or wear out his brains
i With silly grammatical rules? . ;
Neither Dempsey nor Ruth ever wasted, their youth V
' . By studying English in.schools.
; Th6ugh all that these popular fictionists had ' '
Was located under the ears, , ' .
The gift they displayed for the authorship tr,ade , - ;
i Has won them successful careers.; : , , .
-; JUST AS THE TREE IS BENT v
What can you expect of men who' have been taught from early
youth that' stealing bases is perfectly honorable? ' ,
' ' ' .. ''.''' . A CINCH . . , ; . ','
The future money king is the man who srets the concession for
chewing gum machines in the election booths.

i ne same sieepy-tonea, pompous1
servitor whose voice I had heard be

the old Paige mansion I asked for
Edith Fairfax instead of summoning
Rita Brdwn directly to the telephone,
for. I knew that the devoted sister
must be anxious concerning Leila.
Yet I hardly knew how to frame my
news of Leila's being with me, not
knowing just what the hysterical
little bride-to-be had told her older
sister. '
I found myself unaccountably
trembling as I waited for Elith's
voice. Ever since a day long distant,
when she lashed me with her scorn
for my lack of trust in Dicky and
at the same moment betrayed her
own deep, though hopeless, love- for
him we have tacitly avoided each
other as much as possible without
causing open comment. And while,
when others are present we use the
