amused comment.
' ill you walk into mv parlor,

quoted softly. "Take a furtive glance :
- we walk past the plate. 1 don't j
think we'd better no in the -first j

I obeyed her and sliaijeu her
i.niusevnent at seeing the eves of two
men in the real estate office .fairly
,lued on us as we advanced toward
the door. One of them started to his
iert as we came abreast of it. turned
abruptly, ami whirled away from the
door as we passed on.
An Obvious Pose.
"I low they'd like to lean Mit and
grab people who look like btiyfrs."
Lillian observed maliciously. "It iiiust
be mighty hard oil them to ket-p up
this pose of iiron.1 indifference which
they've adopted lately. Let's walk
down around the comer here, and
then come back. We've had a chance
to yive those men the once over be

is always a strategic move." '"
When we returned and mounted j
the steps of the building, both men
were busily engaged in writing or i

er of the two men rose and looked
at us inquiringly, but the other a
younger man, and V,e 01ie 'wno na
sprung to his feet when wc first
passed the window kept on writing.
L quickly surmised that the older and
more Experienced agent had cau
tioned him against showing any ea
gerness in greeting a,customer.
As the older man evidently intend
ed to answer only when he was ad
dressed, I spoke crisply.
'"Vou advertised two places for
"sale in Sunday's paper."
"Ah, yes!" he said, warhiing per
ceptibly. ."So we 'did. Mr. Bisgood,"
addressing the other man, "ah
those places are still on our list are
they not, or did those last two pur
chasers put down their option? You
see,',' turning back with an ingratia

that it? is all we can do to keep, track
of our own lists. How about those
places, Mr. Bisgood?" '
"One is free," returned Mr.-Bisgood
in a colorless voice. "The other
we promised to give that man from
Jamaica till this afternoon at five
for a decision on that you remem

"Don't Bite the Man."
"Oh, yes!" Mr. Jones, a tall, stout
man, with hair obviously dyed and
retreating in mad haste from the
front of. Iiis head, looked as if the
other had itift saved -"him from a
mk'ssal business blunder. "So we

-hoi-tly, for i! there is anything I de

mind-." Mr. Jones began:
"1 f one you gentlemen will kind

lian's amused glance. She once
dubbed my manner when annoyed
as my "nose in the air pose," and I
was sure she was repeating the
phrasi mentally as I spoke.
, "Oh, delighted!" Mrv Jones re
nlied. "Tust a minute. "Won't you
be seated while I speak to Mr. Bis-I

He had not asked us before, and I
-shook my head in .negation.
"I will start the car," I said curtly,
and walked out. followed by Lillian,
hearing as I did so Mr. Jones giying
voluminous instructions to his partite.-.
, .
"Wow!" Lillian whispered mis
chievously, as she swung open thei
door of the tonnc.au. "Don't bite the
man. I suppose I'd bettN; sit back
here so Mr. Jones can sit beside -you
and expatiate on the beauties of the
places to you."
"If you dare." I hissed melodram
atically. "I'll ditch the car. Get in
here, after me once," -
Pretending to shiver, she oheyei
-me. and the car was no sooner start

"There is another ' property,' lie
said, "which T think perhaps would

"If it isn't too expensive," I said
doubtfully.
"Oh, it isn't expensive at all!'' he ,
reassured me. . ''.Just turn your car

reason was hawks! And there ;ras
something else that made him dislike
to appear at night, too. jT)liis" some
thing else was owls.
But of the two. Grandfather Mole
disliked hawks the more, because
they could-see so far, while he (poor
old fellow!) couldn't see the end of
his nose, though'" goodness knows
it was, long enough! Since Henry
Hawk could sit in a great elm far up
the road and see him the moment he
stuck his head, out of the ground,
while Grandfather Mole couldn't
even see the tree, it was not supris-

Down in the galleries and cham
bers where it was dark as a pocket
Grandfather Mols enjoyed himself
thoroughly. It was lucky he was
fond of worms and grubs. If he
hadn't been it would be hard to say
what he could have found to eat
unless it was dirt. There. waS plenty
of that where he pent his time,' But
luckily he didn't have to cat it He
did enjoy digging in it, however.
So it is easy to see that the way he
lived suited him perfectly.
Not every one. of course, would

dirt, or dampness, or the dark. Many
of his bird neighbors, for instance,
liked the same things to eat that he
did. But most of them except such
odd ones as Solomon Owl. and Mr.
Xighthawk, and Willie Whip-poor-will
loved the,bright sunshine.
Spending a summer in Pleasant
Valley was a small gentleman of the
well-known Warbler, family, who
had set great a liking tor worms that
he was known as the Worm-Sating
Warble. This tiny person spent
little or none of his time in the tree
tops, but chose to stay near the
ground. And more than once he
had seen Grandfather Mole in
Farmer Green's garden. He had
heard somehow of : Grandfather
Mole's tastes and habits. And he
was inclined to believe that it was
Grandfather Mole that was to blame
for the scarcity of worms in the
neighborfiofad. It must be confessed
that he felt none too kindly towards
Grandfather Mole He thought it
would be a good thing if somebody
could persuade that odd, old chap to
stay on top of the ground, instead
of lurking most of the time belpw
where 1 could catch the worms
right where they lived.
And one day the Worm-eating
Warbler spoke to Grandfather Mole
when he happened to see him come
out of a hole. "
"fhx don't you live up ! here
whee you can get plenty of fresh
air and sunshine?" he asked. "Don't
you know they'd be good for your
health?"
Grandfather Mole turned' his head
tdwar4the speaker. That was as
near as he could come to staring at
him, since he couldn't see him.
Grandfather Mole did not like the
Worm-eating Warbler's remarks in
the leastl '
"Whv don't vou" he inauired
"why don't you conic down into the
ground and enjoy the close, damp
air and thr darkness? Thev'd be
good for your health. I've thrived
down below all mv life: and I'm
considerably older.-than you, young
sir:
'Grandfather Mole's retort struck
the Worm-eating Warbler dumb. Hs
could think of nothing more to say.
So h flew off and fiid in some rasp
berry bushes. , And- lie couldn't help
saying to himself what a strange
world it waj and what strange per

WHY-
Is "John Bull" the National Figure
of England? .
Just as Uncle Sam is symbolical
of the United States and jean Cra
paud, with his exaggerated top hat
andS tightly-waxed mustaches repre
sents France in literature and pic
torial art, John ' Bull, bluff, hearty
and heavy-set, is the national figure
of England. Both he and his de
scription date back to 1772, when
Dr. John Arbuthnot wrote his po
litical allegory entitled "The His
tory of John Bujl", a book which
caused a great deal of comment at
the time. "
-iDr. Arbuthnot's wosk was an ad
mirable piece of satire, mercilessly
ridiculing the Duke of Marlorough
and voicing the disgust then felt at
the protracted war agahist France.
The nations at war are represented
as tradesmen involved in a law suit,
and their characteristics are skill
fully portrayed, together with the
devices used by Marlborough, as the
principal .attorney, to prolong the
contest in order to meet his own
ends. At the time of the appearance
of-rthe satire it was attributed to
Swift, hut it was later discovered
that it was the work of Arbuthnot,
and though this book itself has prac
tically disappeared, John Bull, well
fed pit ,t!ie roast beef of England,
has survived more than two cen
turies. (Copyright,' 1921, by The Wheeler Syndi

Cheer Up Mother.
Say, son, do you ever compliment
your mother when she makes some
thing which is particularly godd? ;'
. The fact that you eat heartily of
whatever she prepares is sufficient
proof that you consider it good, you
think, and all mothers understand
this method of approval, but it
would help a lot to make up for the
tired feelingif a few complimentary
words were added.
If, you want mother to feel good
tonight say to her: "I tell you,
mother, that was a'dandy good din
ner, one of the best I ever ate."
With an expression of pleasure on
her face she will say to you, per
haps: "Oh, I do not think it is as
good as some I have made the
oven was not hot enottght when I
put it in." ' , ,
It seems quite natural for mothers
to say something of this sort, but,
blessyou, they are proud over the
fact that they have prepared some
thing to please you particularly.
Sons, and daughters", too, don't
be so stingy about giving mother
deserved praise, for she likes it the
same as you do the same as any
person who has done a good job
and wants appreciation.
Give mother more complimentary
remarks and make her happier.

"The children have been told def

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chicago Tribune-Omaha V4t t-'awd Wire.
-New York, Jan. 30. The fiction
of the allied premiers in the matter
of German reparations ami financial
aid to Austria explains last week's
advanclrg foreign exchange market
and nukes tle question if this
week's movement of rates txtremcly
interesting. '
It is at least conceivable that
agrcct.xnt on the new 1'aris pro
gram nay eventually introduce 't
ew Situation, both in international
finance and in the international in
vtsinent market. Meantime, the
statement of our own federal reserve
system as a whole shows the aver
age ratio of reserve to have risen
last week, from ASls per cent to 49;
the second figure firing the highest
since October 10, 191V, and Ay'i per
cent above that cf a year ago.
Not c-nly were rediscounts cut
down, but the wceks $24,600,000 re
duction of outstanding notes left the
J total mailer by $314,000,000, or J', ;
Tlper cent, than the December max- .
mum ot five weeks ago. JNevertneles i
even vthts contraction leaves both
notes f.nd rediscounts well '-above-where
they stood iu this week of
1920.
Opposite from s1 .'.
A season as distinctive- an tlio first,
month or two of a new year i likely
to be remembered for some single out
standing financial movement. Last Jan
uary It was the uninterrupted tlght4'iilbg
of money rates, uccoinpanb-d by falling
bank, reservesand rapid depreciation tn
foreign exchange. This January the for
eign exchange market has moved in the
opposite direction and fr a short Mini"
after New Year's day the courne of money
ratea and bank reserves seennid to make
the contrast .with 1920 uniform and logi
cal. '
But the money market and the-reserve
ratio have not continued on that course.
Three and sis months Wall Street loans on
negotiable securities fell nonitthe 7 'i, per
cent rate of llcember, tr 6 -arly In the
present month; this week the ralo was
back again above 7. The New York
federal reserve bank's ratio of reserve
advanced lty per cent in tho Tcond week
of tha 'month, ujut decllped 2t4 per cent
in the third. What, then, is tha trouble? .
One reasonable Inference Is that, the
banks are atlll Carrying agruatmas of
Idle and unproductive accounts whicti
clog the wheels of credit. The fact, in
Itself reassuring, that the predicted suc
cession of serious business insolvencies was
averted has meant that mercantile 'and
Industrial customers who wcro crippled by
the reverses of 1920 are still being pro
tected by their hanks pending an oppor
tunity to realise on their assets or ti re
sume their work'lp profitable traile.
Farmers are thus very extensively sup
ported by their banks In tha west and
south. V . , ..
Bank Credit Kclease.l.
- In tho evil, granting some sort of busl-,
ness revival, they will be able to' stand '
on their own feet again and the tied uu
bank credit will be rclease4l. That ha
usually happened a short timu af.er even
a severe financial panic. Kut even so, we
have to allow also for the extent to which
American bank resources are still engaged. .
first, In financing foreign trade when tha
country's huge surplus of export over
Import ta not offset by equivalent import
f gold or sale of foreign securities to
American lnvestora and, Becond, In tho
direct subscription by the banks to their
share . of tha government's short term
loans.
These three burdens, carried over from
1920, doubtless explain why, notwlth
atandlng the- immense release of credit
thrpugb. tha fall in prices and thn col
lapsa of speculation, loans of the federal
reserve are even now greater by $330,000,
000 than a year ago. They also explain
the tiowness of money rates to roceda from
the high level of -last year.
