S THE TALL OP
BENNY
BADGER
BY ARTHUR 5C0H BAILEY I
XV.
Benny and the
Owl.
Benny Badger smiled at the owl.
lie thought he must be fooling.
"You're a joker, aren't you?" said
Benny. "But 1 never should have
thought it you look so glum."
The owl seemed somewhat dis
pleased. "I've ifcver made a joke yet," he
declared, ''though I've no doubt I
could, if I should ever want to."
Kenny Badger glanced from the
owl to the hole, and then back again
at the strange fellow.
"You don't mean to say you live
here, in this hole? " Benny ex
claimed. "Certainly I do," the owl replied
sharply. , ' . i
Benny Badger couldn't understand
how that could be.
"But this is a prairie dog house,"
he protested. . . ."Where's the chapq
that built it? He must be around
here somewhere."
"I don't know where he is, and I
don't care where he is," the
owl answered. "I drove him out
of this house because I wanted to
live here myself. And I didn't trou
't myself to see where he went."
Benny Badger could hardly believe
what the owl told him. But he no
ticed that the fellow had a sharp
beak, and sharp claws too.
"1 should think you played a joke
on the prairie dog," he remarked at
' last.
"Should you?'.' said the owl.
it was a joke, it wasn't nearly as
'You needn't be ao toudigr 4id:

big a one as I'll play on anybody
that tries to drive me away from
here. ...I drove a snake away yes
terday," be added. And he looked
very thoughtfully at Benny Badger,
as if he were picking out a soft place
in which to sink his cruel beak.
"You needn't be so touchy," said
Benny. "I'm not going to disturb
you. I'm sure I shouldn't care to
live in your house."
m "Why not?" he demanded. "What
is the matter with my house?"
"I'll tell you: Benny replied. "It's
a second-hand one. And that's bad
enough. But it would be still worsel
if I took it; away from you, because
rhen it would pe third-hand."
The owl looked daggers at him.
"You've ' insulted me!" he cried
loudly, swelling himself up or so
it seemed.
"Have ?"v Benny Badger inquir
ed. "Don't mention itl I'm sure
you're quite welcome." To tell the
truth he had not the least idea what
the owl meant.
, Naturally, Benny's words only
made the owl angrier than ever. And
he became actually rude.
"If I were you," he spluttered,
"Until 1 learned, better manners I
would dig a hole somewhere, crawl
inside it, and pull it .in-after me."
Now, that was . a new idea for
Bennv Badger. And he liked it.
s"What fun that would be!" he
exclaimed. "Then when I wanted to
go out I'd dig my way again!"
The owl gave a queer cry. And
Jooking quite ' discouraged, he flew,
off and left Benny Badger sitting,'
there in the. grass.

We're informed by well authenticated cables . .,. .

They became a public passion, and the pleasant old time fashion
Of imbibing malted stimulants died out. . , .
So he looks with black distrust upon the sundae, . .
With its crown of broken nuts and creamyfrotlv
Fearing that the sturdy Briton -with its charm wHl soon be smitten
As the flame above the candle smites the moth.

For he hasn't anything to apprehend. " '
There were many deeply complicated causes
, For this section of the Atlas going' dry. - -But
the drink the drug; stores serve us, needn't mike a brewer nervous,
And the sundae has a perfect alibi. . '

WHY-
Is the Sea Never Still
Even on days when the air is so
calm that scarcely a breath of wind
is apparent, the ocean continues to
surge and heavej sendirig wave'after
wave in to break upon the ' shore,
nd it frequently occurs that . the
highest . of these , waves make their
appearance during periods of com
parative calm. At first glance, there
fore, it would seem, that the wind
had nothing to do . with the waves,
for the waves which dash in even on
the- calmest days are the result of a
wind somewhere, possibly hundreds
of -miles away.-. .
The immense surface .of the ocean
makes it impossible for a complete
calm to- exist over its entire, area.
The temperature is always chang
ing, winds are always sweeping
across some portion of he sea, and
these, ."pressing against the top of
the water," push it before thi, jtist
as viS; cause miniature . waves by
blowing across the.f top 'Of a glass
filled With water. This wave motion
is transmitted' with . only a slight
loss through friction until it reaches
the shore, where it is frequently of
sufficient-force to cause widespread
damage. What we calU "waves,"
however, do not extend far down
into the-water, and the . ocean as
a whole is -comparatively still,, save
for the motion of the, tides. It is
only the water near', the y surface
which reacts to the-- force - of . the
wind; - r - . -

Romance in Origin

By H. I. KINGV
Piebald Horses. i
In some parts.-of the country they
say that if you' make a wish when
you ''see a piebald horse you will
"get your wish." In others meeting
a piebald horse simply means good
luck. This superstition has - its
origin in mythology instead of magic
and is a vestigo surviving from the
myth of Hippolytus, the horse
sacred grove dedicated to Diomedes,
who built tje god's sanctuary.
In the territory of the Veneti, at,
the head of the.. Adriatic, was a
sacred grove dedicated to Diomedes
where a horse was annually sacri
ficed to him. The horses of this
district were famous for their speed;
they associated in the sacred grove
fearlessly with' wild animals , which
lost their ferocity, and were of a pie
bald breed, which latter fact was ac
counted for py the priests of the
sacred grove by saying that they
were "marked with a wolf, the
similarity between the color cf the
spots on the otherwise white horses
and the wolf's ' coat being the evi-

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By.MILDRED MARSHALL.
The lapis lazuli, today's tailsipanic
stone, was believed by th: ancients
to be symbolic of fickleness and co
quetry when worn by a young girl;
also to be potent in curing unre
quited affection or the pangs of
tiiircturned love, .when worn by an
older person. i ,
Today's natal stone is the beryl,
which is emblematic of invulnerabil
ity, and which governs for good" its
wearer's affairs in the field of indus
try, and also in contests, bodily and
mental.
Dark blue is the color which brings
good luck today; it assures its wear
er, of good fortune as a result of ear
nest efforts. '
The red rose is today's flower, and
is indicative of flirtation. , -

The average householder saved 10
per cent on caal, according to"S. S.

and although unable to estimate a
saving in dollars and cents, R. A.
Leussler of the street car company
freely admits a big saving this win
ter. Railroads made better time, saved
