CHAPTER VIII
A Watcher and a Worker.
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.

pointed not to do the digging your
self," he explained. "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.

The jacinth, today's talisinanic

to protect him from disease.
The powers of the beryl, the natal

However, in addition, it brings peace
and calm to those w ho wear it, even

Today's color is pale blue, sym

If the mother does her own sewing
the daughter will naturally; while
still quite a little girl, pull out basting

of the clothes, must proceed step by

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.
