Ves there was trouble when Fanner Green discovered that Tom my Fox had been stealing his hens. He fastened the end of Tonimy'j chain to the stake once more. And then he went out to the barn, where, his boy Johnnie was watering tnc horses. "We'll have to kill that fox." he said to Johnnie. "He's got loose, somehow, and he's stolen two hens. I can't have him on the plate any longer. He's made friends with Old Spot and the dog will let him do any thing he likes." Poor Johnnie Green 1 He felt so sad! And he begged his father not to kill Tommy. But Farmer Grec was very angry with Tommy ioi he said. mat cut. s so tricky there's no knowing when he'?l lorarag Fox would not be killed the next morning. get loose again." But Johnnie begged so hard that his father promised that he might keep Tommy one mors day. Johnnie Green was in despair. He could not bear to have his pet killed. And went he went to bed that night ne never tell asleep at all. - tie was very tired; but he managed to keep awake. And in the middle of the. night Johnnie got out of bed and put on his clothes. He didn't dare to light his candle. But the moon beams streamed in through his little gable-window and Johnnie cculd see very well w ithout any other light. As soon as he was dressed, John nie stole down the stairs, carrying his shoes in his hand, so he wouldn't make any . noise. In spite of all his caution, the old stairs would creak now and then. But luckily nobody heard him; and soon Johnnie was out of the house. He found Tommy Fox wide awake, sitting on his haunches in the moon light, listening, Far away in the distance a fox was barking and Tommy thought it sounded like his mother's voice. Tommy was surprised to see Johnnie Green at that hour. And he was astonished when Johnrie un tied the chain from the stake and started away with him. They went off across the fields, toward Blue Mountain, right in the direction of that barking. . The meadows smcllcd sweet; and Tommy Fox began to wish that be could. slip his head out of his collar and scamper awaj. . And that was exactly what hap pened. After they had gone some distance, Johnnie Green stopped. He unbuckled Tommy' collar, and gave Tommy a push. , At first Tommy was not quite surs that he wanted to leave his good master. But there was that fox, yelping and calling. Something seemed to draw Tommy toward that sound. He just couldn't help him self. And the first thing he knew he was bounding off over th: mead ow running as fast as his legs would, carry him. and barking as loudly as he could bark. . Johnnie Green went slowly home again. He crept into the house and stole upstairs, and cried himself to sleep. But he was glad of one thing. Tommy Fox would not be killed the next morning. (Copyright Grossett A Dunlap.) Jewel, Rower. Color Symbols for Today . By MILDRED MARSHALL. Jade, much respected in China as a bringer of good, luck is today's talismanic gem. To those who wear it; it brings health and riches, and also assures him of protection against contagious diseases,. If one Ts to benefit by the jade's powers, hs must wear it in' a talisman that touches the flesh. , ' ' The chrysoprase is. today's natal stone, and the ancients attributed to it the power to protect its wearer from all forms of danger, and from violent deaths. Indeed, Volman de clares that a thief sentenced to be executed would be saved on the gallows if in his mouth he held this gem. 1 Today's color is black, which, if worn by the young, is indicative of coquetry. The camelia is today's flower. (Copyright, 1!I. by the Wheeler Syndi cate, Inc.) Parents' Problems Should the bedtime of children be later in the summer than in the winter? , This would depend somewhat up on the weather and the house. If the temperature be high and the bed rooms very warm, at the bedtime usual in winter, it certainly would be better to allow, the children to re main up and out-of-doors until the cool of the evening. .. Where It Started Epitaphs. The custom of inscribing epitaphs among Christian communities dates from the third centurv B. C. It was copied from an ancient Egyptian custom of hanging around the neck of a body a tablet inscribed "May he serve Osiris." :The early Christians imitated this custom, and gradually the tablet was superseded by the out side stone. . .

Carpentier and Dempsey mingle I'd. like to have a seat beside the, ring, And feel my heart leap up and pulses tingle, At every wallop, punch and jab and swing. But I'll not see these fisticuff debators Decide the champidnship with belt and smash, Because I fear the ticket speculators Will sell the seats to people with more cash. I'd like to see the fine dramatic action, And listen to the pleasing flow of wit That makes a certain (but unnamed) attraction Now. on the boards, a most terrific hit. But I must go to second rate theATers, 1 Because I've found, for this especial show, The enterprising ticket speculators Are selling seats at fifty bucks a throw., Year after year, when base ball season's ended I've hoped, But hoped in vain, to realize My dream to see the players who contended In competition for the final prize. But I have never seen these gladiators, And not a game I ever hope to see, Because the crafty ticket speculators Still sell the seats to richer men than me. I still have one remaining hope, however, At some (I hope far distant) future date, When my relations with this world I sever, I mean to enter through the pearly gate. I hope to meet St. Peter at the wicket And, on my application for a chair, I think I'm fairly sure to get my ticket Because the speculators won't be there. FIFTY-FIFTY.

Nowadays, when one issues a spur-of-the-moment invitation to "come home with me and take 'pot-Juck," he is understood as meaning that no special preparation has been made for the guest, but that the repast will be whatever chances to be in the house, the regular family meal without the trimmings and extra trouble which usually mark the arrival of an addi tional person. ' But there was a time when "pot luck" was really dished out of a pot, and when the guest ran his chances of getting either a good meal or a very slim onefc the old days and the practice isVrtill in force in some of . the villages of Europe nothing came amiss to the great family cooking-pot suspended from the pot-hook in the center, of the fireplace. Every thing edible was thrown into it, and, to "keep the pot boiling," the fire was seldom, if ever, allowed to die out. When meal-time came, persons fished for themselves, and whatever they might happen to find was their "pot luck" though it might be "pot-misfortune" as well.
