12 SLEEPY-TIME TALES tsaaawA MM THE TALE OF TOMMY FOX riMM r-mfm-V mil tm 0 CHAPTER XVI. Tommy Becomes Boastful. When Johnnie Green turned Tom my Fox loose, out in the meadow, in the moonlight, Tommy hurried across the fields as fast as he could go. You remember that lie heard a t'ox barking:, near the foot of Blue Mountain, and he thought it sound ed like hit mother. So Tommy barked, too. And as he ran he could hear that other fox coming towards him. Pretty soon they met, and such a joyful meeting you never saw in all your life. For it was old Mrs. Fox. And she was so delight ed to see Tommy that siie licked him all over with tier tongue, and 'looked at him carefully, to see if he was hurt anywhere. Mrs. Fox had never expected to see Tommy aain. Hut there he was, bigger than ever, "and altogether too fat, tor Johnnie had fed him well; and then, there were those two hans that Tommy had stolen. Tommy Fox w very glad indeed to see his mother crtice more. He frisked about her, and yelped, and jumped up and down. And when she saw that Tommy had come back safe and sound Mrs. Fox danced a little bit, too. And then she took Toning home. ' K You remember that when Farmer Green caught Tommy in a trap, right at the door of his mother's house, Mrs. Fo had been obliged to move. Her new home was not far away from the old one. It was snug and !A1 rijhtl.Iwi.il!" .Tommy said cozy, aii'd on the vwhole was a pretty nice" srirt' 'of house, though the door yard was not quite so sunny as she would Jiave preferred, for the branches of a big tree shaded it. Tommy had to answer a great many questions. His mother want ed to know everything that had hap pened to him. She was astonished when she found that he had been in the village, right in the daytime. He was'.thfc only fox she knew of who had ever been there. And when she heard of Tommy's friendship with the dog Spot Mrs. Fox was more surprised than ever. She couldn't understand it. And she shook her head over and over again as Tommy told her what good times he and Spot had had together. Mrs. Fox actually began to think that Tommy was tenisg stories. The ' other forest people, too, thought that Tommy was, fibbing When he" bragged ahout his strange adventures. "And old Mr. Crow be gan to cry, "Stop, liar!" after him, instead of "Stop, thief!" as he used to do.- , But Tommy Fox didn't mind that very niuch. He knew that he wa; ttlhng the truth. And he more than half guessed that old Mr. Crow was jealous. of him, because he had so ;nany wonderful things to tell. Though the forest people always listened to Tommy's stories, they disliked him more than ever. Foe he was always gtiing abflit boasting of what' he had seen, and what he had done, and- what 'his irfend, the do Spot,: said.: " . . "If. you're such good friends with old dog Spot,; 'why don't you go clown to the farm yard and see him.' Mr. Crow said to Tommy one day. Tljis was long after Tommy had corne back to live with his mother. In fact, it was quite late in the fall, arid the weather was growing cold. right! I ' will!" Tommy said Hewal not going to let old . Mr. Crow get the better of hurt. '1 11 go .now Tommy, said. . And with that ht Started down the valley toward Farmer Green's buildings. ' - .Copyright, Gosset & Dunlap. Common Sense By J. J. MUNDY. Golf Widows. "Golf-widows" is becoming a term applied to too many wives. . It is not right that, a husband should spend all his leisure time at the golf links. True, he may need exercise, but so does his wife. The big majority of women dis like to go about alone, consequent ly if their husbands spend an mcir time in playing golf, the wives re main' at home. Women get tired of a monoto nous routine and the same surround ings day after day. Your wife naturally looks to yon as a companion, Mr. Married Man. She married you because she liked your society,, enjoyed it better than that of any one else. She has a right to expect you will divide your time with her in such a way that you will give her most of your leisure time. Gclf .- is fascinating, and causes an enthusiast to think of nothing else as so interesting a way of spending, the time he can spare from business.' If your wife, does not play golf you should plan a good part of your leisure doing something with her which she can enjoy as a rest? and recreation.

Because they received through the "bread" a spiritual enlighten ment, or a power of discerning that to which they were naturally blind. The simple partaking of bread as a recast is rendered impossible bv the comment of the disciples in , Luke xxiv 33: "And they told what things were done in the way. and how he was known of them in the breaking of bread." 2. To shoy then that His glori fied bodjr was in no way subject to the laws of matter; that, as God, He was superior So them. 3.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1921. ANDY! AREN'T YOU ASHAMED? ( V YnbvJBCjwed J GOOD 'GRACIOUS: sn Romance in Origin Of Superstitions By H. I. KING. Hunchbacks. The hunchback superstition is ex ceedingly prevalent in Europe and America, especially among those with a liking for "taking chances." Touch a ' hunchback and you can "play the ponies" or "buck the tiger" assured of success. Anyone who has visited Monte Carlo or a racetrack when horse racing was in 'flower in New York State, can give you in formation on this point. When Paris went crazy over .Law's Mississippi Scheme a hunchback amassed a com fortable fortune by allowing specula tors to; use his back as a writing desk on which to make out their ap plications for stock. But the gamblers ot yesterday anu today did not invent the hunchback superstition. They inherited it from the days when the mysteries .of the Eevotian eod Bes was celebrated by the Nile. Large numbers of the statuettes of the hunchbacked god are in existence and the modern "Gobbo," so popular as a chafm in southern burooc. is but a copy ot these ancient statuettes of Bes. Bes was a malignant god and was gen erally represented with Horus when Horus typilied death. Wearine an image of Bes -as - a tharm or touching a human being made in his likeness, but an idea haspH on the orinciDlef of the old saying, "Always take. your hat off to the devil." By the .charm, or the touch, you proclaim yourself cue of Bes's votaries: his malignity is dis armed and he gives you his aid in return for your devotion. The hunch back superstition then is a survival of the cult or Bes: a modified form of devil-worship: afl attempt to propitiate, and to control to one s own use, the powers of evil by a display of allegiance.

"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be Wise," reads the familiar passage in Prov erbs VI., 6; and tin's saying appears in a number of forms in practically all languages, because,, in spite of the fact that the ant is a distinct pest, human beings the world over have recognized the fact that the insect is the hardest of hard workers.' In fact the ant has literally as wellas figuratively acquired a name fori in dustry, for "ant" is nothing more than a contraction of "emmet," the Anglo-Saxon aemetc, and leads back to a similar significance whether we follow the Teutonic or the Norse language, the German emsig meaning diligent, while' the Icelandic assert means work. . , . Ants are of three genders the male, the female and the wingless 'neuters. The males, after a short flight with the females, , die, the fe males lose their wings, and are each enthroned in a colony as its queen. The neuters are the workers who build the cities, make the roads, provide food, watch over the eggs and attend to the hatching and feed ing of the young. The community may be said to consist of various groups engineers, soldiers, foragers and nurses and in each group tlfe members work in concert and with remarkable discipline, carrying out the orders of the officers obediently and industriously, thus proving that today, as in the days of the Old Testament, the ant is the hardest worker in the world.' -j.
