THE TALE OF

SCOTT BAILEY
CHAPTER
Tommy Fox Learns to Hunt.
Tommy Pox was hunting crickets
In the field near his mother's house.
Being a young fox, not much more
than half grown, Tommy knew very
little of hunting. In fact, crickets
were about 4he oKHhing he could
hunt and catch. :Of course, any one
can hunt. The hard partvof it is to
catch what you are hunting.
Tommy was glad that he . knew
how-to capture crickets, for he was
very fond of thtMii. ' To be sure, it
took a great many crickets to sat
isfy his hunger. But they were
good when he wanted a light lunch;
and there wasv fun, too, in hunting
them.
This is the way Tommy Fox
caught crickets, lie would stand
very still in the tall grass and watch
sharply. Wherever he sw the
grass moving, Tommy would pounce
upon thnt spot, bringing his two
front paws down tight against the
ground. And in the bunch of grass
that lay beneath his paws Tommy
almost always found a fat criclctt.
v There was just one., drawback
about that kindv of hunting. He
could catch crickets only upon still
days, when there was. no wind; be
cause when the wind blew, the grass
Tommy kegan to whimper.
waved everywhere, and Tommy
couldn't tell whether it was crickets
or whether it was wind that made
the grass move.
.Well, upon this very day when
Tommy Fox was amusing himself,
and swallowing crickets as fast as
he could grab them, his mother
came out of her housj and watched
him for a little while. Tommy was
feeling quite proud of his skill.
"I can hunt can't I, Mother?"
he exclaimed. "Watch me! I get
them almost evjry time! he boasted.
Mrs. Fox did not answer. She
was thinking deeply. She knew
that there were a great many things
she must teach ber son, because he
was growing up; and some day he
would be leaving home to go out in
to the world and take care of him-
seir. -ana Airs, rox Knew , mat
vTommy would have to learn to catch
bigger things than crickets in order
to keep from starving.
Pretty soon Mrs. Fox started
across the field. She was gone
rather a long time. But she came
back last, carrying something
that squirmed and twisted and wrig
gled. ' Whatever it was that Mrs.
Fox was bringing home, it was fur
ry, and quite big and heavy. When
Tommy saw it he stopped hunting
crickets at once. He knew what
his mother had. It was a wood
chiickl x
"Hurrah 1" he shouted. "I'm hun
gryl May I eat all of hinri. want?"
You might think that he had swal-
lowed so many crickets that he
wouldn't want anything more to eat
just .then. But. to tell the truth, ft
was. very seldom that Tommy Fox
wasn't hungry as a bear.
"Not so fast!" Mrs. Fox said.
"I'm going to teach you to hunt.
And you're to begin with this wood
chuck. Now I'm gcSng to let him
go, and you must, catch-him." So
Mrs. Sox let the woodchuck slip
away;, and off he scampered, with
Tommy after him. Mrs. Fox fol
lowed close bj?htnd.; And soon she
saw Tommy give a great spring and
land right on top tl the woodchuck.
Tommy was greatly excited. But
he1 was hungry, too. "May' I eat
him now:" he asked.
"No! Let him go again," his
mother commanded "And see if
you can catch him more quickly
next time."
Tommy obeyed. And though he
overtook the woodchuck sooner, he
n't, nrtt Crt rarffti1 tn ai'rtM th
'chuck's sharp teeth, and he got a
car.aa riin richf nn liis nnsp.
Tommy was surprised. He was so
surprised that he dropped the wood
chuck. And you may believe that
Mr. Woodchuck lost no time. He
scurried away as fast as his legs
would carry' him.
Tommy began to whimper. His
nose hurt'; and he thought he had
. lost his dinner, too.
But Mrs. Fox bounded after Mr.
Wootichuck and. brought him back
again. She made Tommy stop cry
ing. And he had to begin his les
son all over again.
Wnen Mrs. fox thought tiiat
Tommy had learned enough for that
. day they both sat down nd made
a meal of that, unfortunate Mr.
Woodchuck. ' And Tommy felt that
he had already become a mighty
hunter.. He hadn't the least doubt
that hev-could go into the woods
and catch almost anything he saw. .
We shall c later whether Tom
my Fox knew- much as he thought
he did. '

More Truth
By JAMES J.
SOLD!
I seldom commit any overt act.
' My temper is well controlled, ;
But with inward fury my soul is racked.
When some fellows remarks, "I'm sold!"
He doesn't mean that he's sold at all.
Or anything, else, again;
It's a hollow phrase, but you'll hear.it fall
From the lips of a million men.
. - -
They're "sold" on the author they like to read,
They're "sold" on their favorite soap,
They're "sold" on the Athanasian creed,
They're "sold", on their heavenly hope;
And I knew a man (till I shot him dead
A punishment all. too mild
To fct the crime) who recently said
lie was "sold" on his wife and child.
They're "sold" on the plays that they like to see,
They're "sold" on their dogs or cats,
There's a lot ef 'cm "sold" on the G.O. P.,
And a ew ou the democrats.
And one or two, like Wilson was,
Are "sold" on the human race,'
While others are sure they're safe because
They are "sold" on a means of grace.
I'm not a person who likes to Tant
On the faults of my brother men,
But I'd fain escape from this frighttul cant,
If it only were now and then.' ' .
And as long as I'm tarrying here below,'
Though it irks me to fume and scold,
I will tell the world (if it cares to know)
That I'll still be unsold on "sold."
N TOO MUCH OF IT - s
Mr. Harding wants normalcy in the United. States, but he refuses
to stand for it in Central America. That's why he has stopped the
Panama-Costa Rica war.
NO'HOPE FOR HER
March may cbme in and go out like, a lamb, but nobody will saya
Tjood word for her as long as she ushers(in the income tax 'collector.
- - - IT EASILY BOILS OVER
. The trouble with bolsheviks in this country is that they keep trying
to stir the melting pot.

Romance In Origin
Of Superstitions
By H, IRVIN KING.
Wishbones.
Almost everybody has, at some
time in his life, J?roken a wishbone
to "see who gets his wish;" or placed
one tip over the door if the conjurer
was a girl, because she had- heard
that the one slie was destined to
marry would be the first man who
passes in under it. It is probably
because of this last superstition that
the wishbone is somctipjfcs known as
the merry-thought.
The wishbone .is the clavicle, or
collar-bone, which in fowls and birds
is united in one forked structure
which has-a keel-ljke bone at the
place of juncture called the hypo
clidium. In wishing v two persons
grasp with thumb arid "forefinger each
a prong of the wishbone and, as they
silently formulates wish, pull, until
the bone breaks. The person to
whose prong of the severed bone the
hypoclidium adheres gets his wisch.
, There are other superstitions con
nected with the wishbone but the two
mentioned are theJnost common and
they go back to the days when. :the
Roman augurs, from "signs given by
birds" signs ex-avibus ..read the
secrets of destiny. 'These signs
were in the flight and cries of birds,
in the condition of their entrails, m
the action of fowls and in the condi
tion of the bones of birds and fowls.
The augurs having cast the gla
mour of prophecy over fowls and
their interior arrangements the pecu
liar shape of thj wishbone made it
most-popular among the proletariat
for purposes of divination; a popu
larity. which ifsrin maintains, thougii
the once proud science of the "Aus
pices" had been relegated for nearly
2,000 years to learn tomes and classi
cal dictionaries. "

Symbols for Today-

Today's "talisman ic stone is jade;
especially in the Orient a jade talis

be specially potent in keeping for
its wearer the good faith of all ac

also a' powerful talisman for the
business man whose interests take
him across the water; according to1
an ancient superstition.
The natal stone for today is the

Are Eggs Used at Easter?
No matter how far back we dig
into the history and customs of
peoples of whom we have any au
thentic record, we will find that the
egg is the age-old sympol of creation
or re-creation. Thus in Oriental
mythology, including the Phoenician,
hhe Egyptian, the Hindoo and the
Japanese, the world is said to have
been hatched from an egg, for which,
according to the Persian legend, Or
nitizd and Ahriman, the angels of
light and darkness, were to contend
forever.
The custom of presenting eggst
special rimes was also prominent'
among tlie Jews, and in a slightly
altered form was adopted by the
Christians at their Easter festivals as
a symbol of the resurrection of
Christ, the eggs being originally col
ored red in token of tha blood -of the
Redeemer. "Gradually, However, this
significance was lost sight of, and
the vari-colored eggs so popular in
Germany and other parts of Europe
came jnto prominence, though the
egg or at least its shape remained
as a token of the re-birth of Christ
three days after His crucifixion.

Where It Started
Wire.
The manufacture of' wire started
when the ancient craftsmen discov
ered that gold could be beaten into
long strips without breaking. For
many years' this practice continued,
till some unknown genius conceived i
the idea of drawing the , metal
through various-sized holes. . Wire
drawing was practised in Germany
a,s early as the 14th century. Machine-drawn
wire was first produced
in England in 1865.
