It was lucky for Mr. Meadow Mouse' that he had placed ax little distance between himself and Grand father Mole down in the gallery un der the cornfield. For when Grand- life " iftv More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. Why not?" Grandfather Mote' '' cried. father Mole rushed at him, Mr. Meadow Mouse had just enough lead .to escape., He made for the open air as fast -as he could scramble, know ing that Grandfather Mole could never catch him once he reached the grcit out-of-doors. Perhaps it was only natural that Grandfather Mole should have been angry with Mr. Meadow Mouse. Nobody likes to be accused of thiev ingespecially when he is innocent. And when the real com tluet (Mr. Meadow Mouse) declined to take the blame off Grandfather Mole s shoul ders maybe his anger was not alto- t f geincr uncauea-ior. After all, Grandfather Mole was glad, in a way, that Mr. Meadow Mouse had got away from, him. "It proves" Grandfather Mole told told himself "it proves that Mr. Meadow Mouse is not only a thief; he's a coward as well." At the same time, any one that really knew old Mr. Crow couldn't have blamed Mr. Meadow Mouse for not wanting to follow Grandfather's suggestion. Grandfather Mole . had a sited Mr. Meadow Mouse to allow Mr. Crow to catch him with his mouth full of corn, 50 that Mr. Crow 'might know that it wasn't Grandfather Mole that was taking the- seed corn, as Mr. Crow sup posed. '' i Mr. Meadow Mouse was too well acquainted with old Mr. Crow to" get himself into any such fix as that. When he found himself above ground, after Grandfather Mole lwd chased 'him .out of his galleries, Mr. Meadow Mouse felt sd pleased with himself fra,i he couldn't help telling his neighbors about his adventure. He boasted that he had been eating the seed corn out of the hills. "And he declared -that he didn't care if Mr. Crow hca"rd at it himself.' -"It's no more his corn than mine," Mr. -Meadow Mouse said. "It be longs to Farmer Green. , And since he has never spoken to mc about missing any, I don't believe he cares. Besides, I've often noticed that he drops more kernels in a hill than he expects will grow. And-j-eally I've been saving him the trouble of pull in g tip a good manv young stalks." All - this Mr. Meadotv Mouse spread far and wide. And soon it reached the ears of old Mr. Crow. "Ha!" Mr. Crow exclaimed. ' "So he's the thief I I'll have to teach him a lesson," It was Jasper Jay that had related the news to his'; cousin,, old Mr. Crowv vAnd now, he asked, "What about Grandfather Vole??

And he hurried off at once to find Grand-, father Mole. .. . Jasper was lhcky enough to sce Grandfather Mole's head sticking cut of the ground, when he reached the garden. ' 1 ' "1 have a message for you?" Jasper , told him. "My cousin Mr. Crow the old black rascal! was going to punish you for stealing corn.. But he has made other ar- "Mr. i Crow" Grandfather Mole spluttered "Mr. Crow owes rne an apology", ' "Not 'now, lie doesn't!" Jasper disouted. "Why not?" . Grandfather Mole cried.

"It' nothing but an- insult!' Grandfather Mole declared".

I'M THE GUY I'M THE GUY who never keeps to his right. Why should I? I don't have to, if I don't want to and I don't want to, that's all. What the difference is it what side of the sidewalk I walk on. If it's crowded, and I bump into you, that's your lookout. You ought to keep your eyes ahead; instead of gawking about, and staring at all the chickens; then you'd see me in time to avoid run ning up against me. Sure, always blame it on the other fellow when you're careless yourself. Never admit you're at fault, no mat ter what happens. This is a fce country, and I can do as I please; There's no law as to what part of the sidewalk I must walk on, and as long as there isn't, I'll do just as I feel like. .,..-.. ; If people push and ;shove me, and almost knock me down, that's my worry, not yours.

All those so-called regulations and customs of keeping to the right are just pure nonsense, and I don't believe in observing them. Keep to the right yourself, but pust leave me alone. - - Japan mines about 30,000,000 tons of coal annually. ADVERTISEMENT "Pape's Cold Compound" is 1 Quickest Relief Known Don't stay stuffed-up!

Just as the 'sen'e of smell is the result of the irritation of certain nerves in the' rose, and taste 'is caused by other nerves in the mouth, the sensation which we call "hear ing" is due to vibrations which strike against our car-drums ' and cause them to transmit, the disturb ance to the brain, translating it en (oute into what we recognize " as "noise" or "sound." It is manifest, of course, that .these, vibration do not cease when we. are asleep, for there -are always noises around us even when it seems" to be most quiet. The absence of hearing therefore, is not due to any lack of outside vibra tion, but merely to the fact that the portion of our brain which registers these vibrations is not functioning in its accustomed manner. Slight vi brations' or even loud noises to which we are accustomed, make no hnpression, and we say that we "hear nothing, While, as a matter ot lact, it is only that v.c are not conscious of hearing anything. During sleep, the part ot tlie Drain that "hears" is much less sensitive than usual. It, too, is resting, and it takes a fairly loud noise to rouse it. thouarh anv disturbance to which the mind is not accustomed will so jangle the nerves that the sound will awaken us at once, while we would sleep peacefully through a hubbub of "natiiml noises" In addition, we frequently hear things in our sleep without beirnr ftillv aware that we hear thein. They impress themselves upon the brain, however, and we are conscious of dreams induced by these noises the dreams being a manifestation nf ' tne awakening ot a part of the brain without the full return ot consciousness. nri'ntr.rnntrolled arms encage the sides of a pocket and prevent a new pocketbook being stolen. ,ommon oense By J.
