Benny Badger searched for some time before he found a Ground Squirrel's hole that looked as if its owner had finished it only a day or two before. The place was o far from (he spot where Benny had left Mr. Coy ote that he did rot hclieve he could i all loudly enough for his helper to hear him. For a few moments ' Benny thought that perhaps lie "ought to ro ' 1 ack and tell Mr. Coyote that he had found a good place to dig. But lie soon changed his mind. "I'll just begin digging and say nothing," he remarked to himself. "And perhaps T ran catch this Ground Squirrel without Mr. Coy ote's help." So he set to work. But he hadn't dug very far into the hole before he heard Mr, Coyote's voice close be hind him. That sly fellow had , been following him all the time. "I hope the owner of this hole is at home," Mr. Coyote ventured. At those words Benny Badger backed out of the hole and turned around. , "I'll let you dig a while," he said generously. Mr. Coyote thanked Ivm. But he answered that lie couldn t think of accepting Benny Badger's offer. " kuov you would be disap- POOR MPS. HAMPER.

"And hesides, you're a better digger than I am. So I'll let you tear this tunnel open, while I go around to the back door and watch. . . . You know, 1 have a very sharp ey2.'' Benny Badger looked at Mr. Coy ote narrowly. It occurred to him that both Mr. Coyote's eyes were very sharp. Furthermore, his nose was sharp, too. And so were his teeth. Yesl on the whole, Benny thought, Mr. Coyote appeared to be an exceedingly sharp person. "Very well'" Benny told him at lust "I'll do the digging, gladly tor I need the practice that it will give me. You ee, 1 haven't dug more tha;n a h?.!l-dozcn holes tonight." Then he thrust his head into the opening he had already made. But before he had begun to throw more dirt behind him hepulled his head out again and called to his helper, who had moved a few steps away. "If the Ground Squirrel conies out through his back door, please call me at once!" he cried. Mr. Coyote nodded his head over his1 shoulder and smiled. "I will," he agreed. "And I'll ask you not to forget to dig hard, be cause yon know I'll be watching hard. And it wouldn't be fair for one of us to do less work than the other." . Benny Badger replied that m his opinion Mr. Coyotes statement was in every way icasonable. And then he began to dig. Benny would have made better time had he not stopped every few minutes to listen; for he did not want to miss hearing Mr. Covote's call. But his ears. caught nothing more than a chuckle from the spot where AJr. Coyote sat on his haunches in the grass, watchii.g. ' "I can stand his chuckling if onlv he won't sing!" Benny said to him self. (Copj-rtght, Grossot & Dunlap.) (With apologies) I have taken my lessons from caddies, I have taken my lessons from pros, But I still am a muit at the drive and the putt And my brassies are worse, goodness knows. I wasted long valuable hours, ' 'In a past that is distant and dim, With an elderly Scot who was always half shot. But of course I learned nothing from him. The next tutor I had was a Briton, Who said what I already knew, That the habits I had were all utterly bad, And my stance was extremely askew. But the more that he twisted my muscles, The faster ,my knowledge grew dim Of the right way to stand with a club in my hand, And I also learned nothing from him. 1 hen I went to a friend of my childhood, With a rep as an amateur crack, Who said in 10 days, if I mended my 'ways, He could easily teach me the knack. But I chafed at his ribald derision And busted him over the glim With the head of a clerk, so that now we don't speak. And I also learned nothing from him. No matter how many your lessons, v Nor how much you pay for the same, If you start at 13 batting balls on the green, At SO, you may know the game. But if you begin it at 40, Though husky and quick you may be, At swinging the club you will finish a dub, So you can learn nothing from me.

Color Symbols for Today Parents' Problems AT THE By MILDRED MARSHALL The jacinth, today's talisinanic stone, is said to bring its wearer fin ancial gain, shrewd judgement, and to protect him from disease. The powers of the beryl, the natal gem for today, are much the same. However, in addition, it brings peace and calm to those w ho wear it, even in the most distressing circumstan ces, according to an ancient belief. Today's color is pale blue, sym bolic of peace and serenity. Today's flower is the pink rose, the emblem of faith reborn. Copyright. 1921. by The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) AMI SEMKNTS. At what age should a girl begin to make some of her own clothes? If the mother does her own sewing the daughter will naturally; while still quite a little girl, pull out basting threads,overcast seams and sew on buttons. Gradually she will learn to make buttonholes, etc. The teach ing of these things, like the making of the clothes, must proceed step by step.

I. KING. Divining by Books. A rather common practice with those who "seek for a sign" is to open the Bible at random and find their answer in the message upon which their thumb rests as they part the leaves, hi pagan times this di vinatio nwas accomplished by placing the linger at random on a passage of Homer, Virgil or some other great author. Virgil was an especial fa vorite in this connection and the practice of consulting him continued down to modern times, though the Bible is the book now generally used. During the middle ages the historic Virgil became "so enveloped in a mist of tradition and superstition that he was alluded to by the uneducated as "Virgil the Wizard;" and the un popular estimation the chief value of the Aencid was as an oracle. As late as the time of Charles I the Bi ble had not entirely supplanted the Aeneid for purposes of divination, as is evidenced by the well-known story of how that monarch learned his fates by the "Sortes Virgiliaiiac," as it was called. This practice of divination by books is said to have "originated in the respect and veneration of certain books arising from their wisdom and reputation;" and it is easy to com prehend the psychology which in duced the people of the middle ages to consult "Virgil the Wizard" and leads man of a superstitious trend of mind today to turn the Bible into an oracle. But the incipiency of the idea dates back to the first introduc tion of letters, when, to the common mind, there was something super natural in the power of a few marks made in a certain way to convey from one person to another not merely ideas, but whole speeches, word for word; a feeling which is displayed today by remote tribes of savages when they see for the first time the use of the printed or written word in communications.
