XIX.
Mr, Crow's Apology.
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?? Don't you
think you ought to apologize to
him:" - fv.V ;r-TU-' ' ,
pec. Jayjto ask. He wasHhe great
est rowdy iivthe woqds, with shock
ing manners. ..''
Mr-. Crow gave, Jasper a sidewise
glance. . . .",'.
"Will you apologize, for me?" he
inauirtd. "I'm too busy to do it my
self." . . .
"Certainly I will!" Jasper Jay
cried. "Leave that to me!" 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. '
"Because I've Just Drought tits
apology 'and given it to you," Jas
per Jay 'replied .
But Grandfather Mole tdld.nim to
be gone, and to take the ipblogy
awav with him. .
"It' nothing but an- insult!'
Grandfather Mole declared".
FROM KING SOLOMON '

Won't you be one of my valentines ,
; ' Say Number Eight Hundred and Three? ,
For I've seen your face in the market place
' And you look pretty good to me.. '
' Of course this isn't a personal note,
And yet it will have to do, ,
For I've got to propose, 'ere the season's closed,
To three hundred girls like you.
FROM BLUE BEARD
Fatima, be my Valentine
My love, and joy and pride
The last remaining wife of mine
Has only lately died.
, Our marriage somehow turned out bad,
And, after we were wed,
To keep my peace of mind I had
To amputate her head.
But if you'll only share my lot,
When we have got acquainted
I'm sure you'll find that I am not
As blue as I am painted.
Please answer quick, for pity's sake
For I have much to do.
And you must give me time to take
Insurance out on you.
FROM HENRY VIII.
, (To Jane Seymour)
Say my Valentine you'll be;
Your beauty has me thrilled
Poor Ann did not appeal to me " '
And so I had her killed. , :
But if you will not bob your curls
And, with those lovely eyes,
Attempt to vamp my dukes and earls
, And other titled guys, "
Upon your charming face will shine
The glory of my smile,
And you can be my Valentine
At least a little while!

in front of the home of Jefferson

explaining to Jeff's wife that he
would sell her a dishpah at less than
half price, when without warning one
of the wagon wheels collapsed with
a dull thud.

; The Months of the Year.
The names of the months orininat-
ed with the Romans. Their first
month was Martius, named for Mars
our -March. Then came Annus
and Maius. The next three were
named after emperors Junius, Jul
ius and Augustus. The seventh,
eighth, ninth and tenth . months
were simply numerated Septcmbris,
Octobris, . , Novembris, Dccembris.
(Latin Septem, Octo, Novem, De
cern 7, 8, 9, 10). 'Januarius was
named in honor of the god Janus;
Fcbruarius was added at a later date
to make the year correspond with
tie seasons.

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. As long as I don't
complain, why "should you? , -
As long as you prefer the right
1. .nd side, stick to if, but don't both
er me. I'm left-handed anyway.
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. - -

WHY-
Don't We Hear Noise's When We
Are Asleep?
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.

There are not many men who have

Any line of business has rough and
discouraging experiences for a few
years.
It is during this period that real
fatherly advice and financial aid are
more than appreciated. Sometimes
the fact that an qlder man has the
confidence to offer aid is enough to
give the. necessary courage to go
over the top, if it be not accepted
literally.
