THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23'. 1921. SULKPY-TIML TALCS THE TALE OP benny BADGER BY ARTHUR 5C0TT BAILEY CHA PTER J I. Hunting for Something. It was a pleas-anl summer's night. Anyone would Juve supposed th.it it was just the sort of weather that Benny Badger rntuht have chosen for digging holrs. But lie must have thought that he hud dug enough holes fur the time being. He wandered about as jf lie had lost a hole somewhere and couldn't find it. 'And whenever he spied a hole made by ime of his smaller neighbors he flopped and looked at it closely. But none of them seemed to he the one he was. looking for. At least, Benny examined a good many holes, and then passed on again, be fore he came to one at last that was different, from all the rest. If you could have seen the look of pleasure on Benny's odd face when he caught sight of Urls particular hole you would have known at once that his search had come to an end. Now, as a matter of fact, Benny Badger had not lost a hole. His r strange behavior did not mean that. It meant that he was searching fot 'a fresh hole, which some ground squirrel had dug so short a time be iore that there' couldn't be much doubt that the small owner was then living in it. - To be sure, Benny might have dug his way to the furthest end of each hole that he found that night. And doubtless he would have enjoyed v such a pastime. But as for finding a plump ground squirrel at the end ol every tunnel ah! that would have T : : A broad smile lighted up his queerly marked face. ' been a different matter. No such pleasant sight would have greeted Benny's eyes. And on this evening he wanted to find some such reward when his digging came to an end. He knew as well as he knew any thing in the world, that newly scat tered, earth never lay strewn about the doorway of an old hole. . And that was the reason he passed by so many holes with hardly more than a swift glance. But when at length he found what he had been lookinor for a hole with ftfrrsb hrnwii Hirt srattpred carelesslv iround it-rBenijyBadgin. showedi by : tvery one of his actions that he didn't Intend to- move on iintil he had bur rowed to the very end of it. t A broad smile- lighted up his queerly marked face. At" least, he opened his niouth and showed a good many of his teeth, "And! a .bright, eger glint came into his ' syes; whereas they Jiad had a some what wistful look before, as if their ..owner might have been hungry and didn't exactly know where he was going to find a meal. ' Then. Benny Badger looked all iround to see whether anybody might be watching him. But there was no r.r.e in sight. And if there had been Benny Badger would have done no n-.ore than tell him that he had bettet run along about his business, be cause it would do him no good to wait none at all. . And if the onlooker had happened to come so near as to bother Benny in what he intended to do. that un,1 fortunate person might have wished that he had taken a bit of friendly advice in time and made himselt 'scarce. - But, of course, Benny Badger was not so foolish, as to give any such warning, for there was no one there Lo hear it.

What of the Future? When figuring ahead what you expect to have five or 10 years hence, don't include insurance money. . Forget about that and figure on how much you can save, aside from thatr . . You will have plenty of use for it between the time you are a real money earner and the time when your earthly career shall have ended. A thousand dollars or so coming to you five years from now should not cause you to let up or let down in your present efforts to save money. Unless you are unusually fortu nate, you 'arc are going to have a hard time and close work to lay aside enough to keep yofli in comfort dur ing your passive years the years when you cannot do active work. You should not bank on the prob ability that your children will take care of you, and provide a home for you. .' Undoubtedly they will do so, if you need it, and be glad to do it but something might happen tha misfortune' might make the child's condition impossible, so far as help ing you is concerned. Your offspring are also going to have a battle to provide for their old age, so sympathize with,tthis point of vieiw and help yourself. Copyright, 1921. International Feature i Service.

If a normal supply '6t blood is present the skin is a healthy pinkish blue. If too much is near the surface a ruddy and almost apo plectic tint is likely to make its ap nearance, while if the supply is in sufficient the skin takes on a pasty of . bluish tinge, and it is tpis latter condition which leads to the blue ap pearance, of our hands when they are cold. - . When the skin is exposed to se vere cold the arteries contract and less blood is pumped into the tiny veins which lie just below the surface of the skin. In their turn the veins expand, because they contain more of the impure and purplish blood which should be returned to the lungs in order 'that it may be purified by the oxygen taken in when - we breathe. As he veins on the hands are close to "the surface, on account of the comparative thinness of this "THE FIRST C TO, SHORT ENt OH HIS FACE- PROMOTE IK Than Poetry MONTAGUE. nam io oe cnamps. part ,of the body, they are more eas ily seen, and the blue color'of the biood shows through and gives a greyish-blue tint to the flesh. (Copyright, 1821, by the Wheeler Syndi cate, Inc.) Romance in Origin Of Superstitions Witches. It appears as if ,the , . belief in witches would. never die out. Only the other day in a New York .po lice court a woman exhibited to the judge a child with wasted . limbs and accused" another woman.- pres ent of having bewitched it This superstition has existed . from re motest times in all countnes and among all races. ', At times it has taken on a ter rible form that of an epidemic ? and raged with virulence; as in England in the days of James I and in New England in the days of Cotton Mather. Among English speaking people female witches have ever been more common than male; which that "learned fool," ; King James, in his notable work on witch craft, accounts for by saying that women being the weaker sex are more easily led astray by the devil. The family tree of the witch ex tends back to the Witch of Endor and far beyond her into the time of man's first attempt to comprehend the phenomena by which he found himself surrounded. It was verv natural that primitive man should attribute supernatural powers to those who Surpassed or perplexed him by superior Knowledge or by peculiarities of person or conduct. It is human nature to be awed by things we can not comprehend and to be suspicious of . persons and things of a sinister aDoearance. What more natural than that some evil-looking old hag should be sus pected of being possessed of an evn spirit, or ot at least having dealing with such spirits? Especially it sne. nerseit,' trom being long re garded in that light by her neigh bors, should at length come to be lieve that she possessed the attnb utes assigned to her. Besides a be lief in witchcraft affords the ignor ant an easy method, of accounting ior oinerwise unaccountable attltc tions to cattle and to persons.

Those who wear the amethyst, today's talismanic stone, are prom ised temperance in all things. Leon ardo claimed that : this stone con trolled evil thoughts, quickened the mental powers of those who wore it, and made them shrewd in business matters. It is also believed to, have the power to protect soldiers' from harm, and to guard all who wear it from the dangers or contagious diseases. The turquoise is today's natal stone; the ancients claimed that it would break as a warning of ap proaching danger, and also that, if suspended from a thread and made to strike the side of a glass, it would strike the hour correctly. Green is today's lucky color, and brings to those who wear it good luck 'through travel. Orange blossoms are the day's flowers. , (Copyright, 1921, by the Wheeler Syndi cate, Inc..) ' Where It Started The Bridal Veil. - The custom of wearing a veil at marriage originated in the Oriental custom by which' marriages were ar ranged without the consent of either party; the husband was not supposed to sec his bride until after the cere mony, so she went to the altar heav ily veiled, from head to'foot. Our modern airy vtil is a survival of this principle. (Copyright. 1921. by the Wheeler , Syndi- eatu, Inu. . . t 1 .

All grain mar kets in the United States were closed today in honor of Washington's birthday. ' Operators who were around the board of trade office were rather bearish. " Winnipeg was open and trading there was light, owing to the lack of news from other markets. A stronger tone prevailed early, with a small advance followed by weakness and a break of ljc on May wheat for the early top, witfi the close at the in side at a loss; of c for the day. Offerings were well taken early, but buyers were eventually filled up. Cash wheat in Winnipeg was stronger and in good demand, with an advance of 2c early reported. In the later trading prices receded lc from the too. No. 1 northern was 9c over May. No. 2 northern, 6c; No. 3 northern, 2c over and To. 4 nortn ern, 4c under May. The tone of the market there was said to be uneasy, sharply sensitive to bullish news and developments. 'Although oat prices were stronger and higher, they broke ijic. with the close the same as yesterday. Trad ing was light' and it was said that aside from the supply and demand standpoint there was little to look for more than temporary upturns.
