A Sign of Rain. Over near the garden fence layman old hollow log. Grandfather Mole discovered it one day, and, thinking ii would be a fm place to look (or pnibs and other good things, he crept into one end of it. If he had been able to see, near the other end of the log, a pair of bright eyes that peered at him out of the .darkness perhaps he would have backed out in .a hurry. But it was ull right. The owner of the two eyes was only Sandy Chipmunk. And he spoke pleasantly to Grandfather Mole, in a soft sort of chatter, be cause he didn't want to alarm him. "Good afternoon!" said Grand father Mole. At Sandy's first word he had jumped. But as soon as he knew who was. in the Ior with him he felt safe enough. "What are yon doing here, young man?''. Grand lather inquired. "I came in to get out of the rain," Sandy told hint. "Rain!" Grandfather Mole ex claimed. "It's not raijiing!" "I know that. But it's going to," Sandy Chipmunk replied. "There's not -the least sign of rain," Grandfather Mole declared. Befng "th(?r a lot of stufi2 paople in this1 valley," Grandfather ibis retorted, v older than Sandy, he didn't hesitate to dispute what $andy said. And he never troubled himself to apologize, cither. Sandy Chipmunk noticed that, for he had been carefully reared by his mother. But he knew that Grandfather Mole was considered an odd old gentleman. And besides, what could Sandy have said that wouldn't have sounded rude? "There's not a sign of rain," Grandfather Mole repeated, "so far as I can see." "How far can you see?" Sandy in quired politely. "Tut, tut!" said Grandfather 'Mole. . "What I meau is that I haven't no ticed anything that foretells rain. For instance, I haven't had a twinge of rheumatism since I don't know vhen." "Well. I'm Rlad of that, anyhow." Sandy assured him. "But I saw a sign of rain mMy that perhaps you never notifed." , "What was that?" "Farmer Green's cat was washing her face the doorsteps." Sandy cxplainedClumphantly. "It's a sure sign of raffl. My mother has never knowiMt to fail."- , "Farmer Green's cat!" Grandfather Mole repeated ifter him. And he .-.huddcrcd as he spoke. "Don't you know that she's not & trustworthy person? You surely don't depend on her I hope! She's not depend able." "Well, you can always depend on" bcr to jump at you," Sandy ob served. v ''She's a coward that's what she is," Grandfather Mole scolded. "You never heard of her chasing anybody that was bigger than herself, did vou? You never heard of her at :ackiug Fatty Coon!" ., Sandy Chipmunk said that if the :at hunted coons, she kept it to her self. '" " , "She's too wise to run any risk." laid Grandfather Mole. "But if she's cashing her 'ace just bccausQ she expects rain, then she's stupid. "If the cat wants to wash her face ivhy doesn't she stick her head ou'. ' in "the rain?" Grandfather Mole de manded. And .without waiting fot his young companion to answer he went on to say that in his pinion mybody that washed his face in any thing but, dirt was stupid beyond all hope. "I . claim." .said Grandfather Mole, "that there's nothing quite like l dirt bath." x "There aren't many that would farce with you," Sandy Chipmunk lold him. "There's a lot of stupid people in this valley." Grandfather Mole re torted. Sandy Chipmunk thought deeply for a few momojts. "I know of one person who would nav you were right." he remarked at iih. "Who's that.' Grandfather asked J turn. ' i "The boy. Johnnie Green!" Sandy Chipmunk replied. "If you could sec his face' vou'd know that he takes a dirt bath every day!"

I ' ' JUST HAHl HIM A " Mij?eoe AHt LOOK'S CRIPPLE More Truth Than Poetry - By JAMES J. MONTAGUE. A Quandary N 'Save up your pennies," said the ad, "The business situation Is rapidly becoming bad, And thrift must save the nation." And so we rationed our cigars And other costly follies, , Refrained from buying motor cars And rode to work on trolleys. The ridicule of friends we braved By wearinp rubber collars, And in a little while we saved Five hundred thousand dollars. v Another ad gave this advice: ' "Spend Money! Do not Hoard It! Thrift costs Us All Too High a Price ! The country can't afford it! So rather than have business crash To utter ruination, We saw that all our hoarded cash Was put in circulation. On luxuries our coin we blew Here, there and over yonder, Till riot a solitary sou Was left to us to suander. And now another ad makes known x The shortage of production And bares the fact that thrift alone Can save us from destruction. To save our cash in large amounts, Its serious advice is, For only men with bank accounts Can pass the coming crisis. But as for us, too well, alas, The second ad we trusted The coming crisis we can't pass For we're already busted. i v Always Busy Some lawyers show you how to pay your income tax, but the lawyers most in demand just now are those who can show you how not to pay it. Abundance of Work One reason why unemployment has not hit New York' so very hard is that there are so many jobs to be had on graft investigating committees.

Perhaps it is better known by its other, name,-the topaz, than by the one which the ancients used. They believed that it should be set in old if its full benefits were to be enjoyed and that, so set, it would solution nevertheless, of the Su tery, "Where do all the pins go to.' finanr:ai ' . - b Yellow is today's lucky color, and They are picked up by superstitious people. And few there be who, see ing a pin, will not stoop to pick it up "for luck." It is doubtful if there is a more wide-spread super stition than this among English speaking peoples. Some say that to get the full benefit of the omen the pin should be lying with the point toward you but these are fussy people. This superstition has as its basis a psychological fact. If the mind is so alert and active that the eye perceives so small an object as a dropped pin, it would naturally follow that the man would as a rule, accomplish a successful day's work. The idea that he should pick up the pin-is a, survival from the days when pins were objects of considerable-value compared to what they are now; and picking up the lost pin showed that the man was sav ing .as well as observing an addi tional cause for a successful day. And there is the same connection today, trifling as is now the value of a pin. For a man who picks up a stray pin not only shows that his mind ' is alert -and his observation keen, but also thart he is no scorncr of trifles. So why should he not on a day when his mentality is func tioning in this manner meet with that success, which men call "luck."

The first cargo of ice that was shipped was sent from a pond in Canal street, New York, to Charleston, vS." C, in 1799. The pioneer of the ice indus try was Frederick Tudor of Boston, who entered the business in 1805, and succeeded in making it practicable after many failures. Copyright, 1910, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc. ' blue package Every manufacturer of washing ma chines knows that very few oT his cus tomers, even the most enthusiastic, are getting anything like the efficiency out of .heir machines of which they are" capable. Their explanation is that so many women still cling to the od-fashioned bar soap or the newer soap flakes or chips, which are nothing but bar soap , in a slightly more convenient and infinitely more expensive form. There is. however, a wonderful new powder oh the market called LINN, which women who have used it say just about doubles the value of their washing ma chines. It softens hard water instantly and not only makes the usual long boilingj .. i. . . . i j . . . i . uiiurvcBBoi;, uui venules cuib ine actual washing time just in half. . ' Furthermore, it is guaranteed to wa the most delicate chiffons, georgetl crepes and laces just ss nerfectlv as heaviest and most soiled fabrics and with out the slightest injury. In fact, it lengthens the life of all fabrics very ma terially berfuse it possesses the peculiar property of dissolving dirt without in any way affecting the fibre of the goods. You do not run any risk in trying LINN as it is sold under the money-back guar antee to do everything that any soap, any flakes, any lompound or any cleaner will do better, quicker and cheaper.
