TOMMY
FOX
IS
More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE,
CHAPTER XVIII.
The World Tun Whh.
After he outwitted the strange
dog, Tommy Fox became more of
a braggart than ever. He thought
that he knew just about all there
was to know. But with the coming
of winter Tommy found that he had
:
WHY THEY DO IT.
Time , before pur millionaires were found in schools, like shad,
That gentlemen were famous for the money that they had.
Thy did not need to bat around or act uncouth or rough,
Their stocks and bonds and yachts and such provided fame enough.
And when one wandered down the street, to get a breath of air,
A crowd would tag behind and yell, "There goes a millionaire."
But nowadays when every town from Quogue to Gopher Pass
Has got a half a dozen of the super-moneyed class,
When, if you should attack a club, each brickbat that you threw
Would probably de-molarize a millionaire or two,
The gents possessing money are as utterly obscure.
And often rather more so, than the undeserving poor.
But millionaires are human, like the rest of alt their kind,
They hanker every now and then to fill the public mind; ,
And as their money doesn't count they have to find a way
To figure in the headlines that enthrall us every day.
And so some found philanthropies, some lead adventurous lives,
And others flirt with ladies who are not their wedded wives.
When in the papers you remark some quasi tragic tale
Reciting how some millionaires have lavished wads of kale
Beyond the family confines, and have merely for their pains
Been bawled out something horrid by the base, ungrateful Janes.
Feel sorry for the poor old chaps, they only meant to try
In their poor millionairish way to catch the public eye.

Usual good luck should come to

since it is both the talismanic stone
and natal gem. The ancients be
lieved that the gods had blessed it,
and that it brought riches and success
to its owner. To women it was sup
posed to bring assurance of faithful

indication of infidenity.

oiug men, and older ones, too,
who had easy positions during the
war, with big pay, prefer to walk
the streets rather than to take posi

tling, at a moderate salary.
Too many incompetent men
learned to look upon themselves as
being proficient and valuable because
their wages were large during war
time. .
They found it unnecessary to learn
much about the business they were
doing, and they found they could
kA-p the job and not exert themselves
much. '
Many gained a false Impression
and are keeping it.
Procuring jobs and keeping them
have now reached a point where an
employer hiring a man wants to be
guaranteed good and intelligent ser
vice before he hires, and employers
re demanding that their workmen
deliver the goods or get out.
Every man holding a good position
today should hold on to it by doing
his best to make his work satiafac

many things to learn. It was al
most like living in a different world,
for the ground was white every
where. And though Tommy Fox
loved to play in the snow, he dis-
covered one thing about it that he
did not like at all. It frightened
him when he saw how plainly his
footprints showed after a fresh
snow fall. And he wondered how
he would ever be able to escape
being caught should any strange
dog chase him.
As the winter days passed, Tom
my learned that it was very hard
for him to run fast in a light, dry
'-now that through such snow a
dog could run much faster than he
could. But when there was a thin
crust he could go skipping along like
the wind, while dogs, being heavier,
broke through the crust and. floun
dered about in the softer snow be
neath.
One day Tommy and his mother
were out hunting. The snow was
very - deep everywhere, for it was
mid-winter. And it had thawed and
frozen so often that the snow was
quite hard, except for just about an
inch of fresh snow which had fallen
during the night. Tommy and his
motner could see rabbit tracks all

They had turned toward home, when

them, and pretty soon Mrs. Fox
saw that they were being followed.
one and .tommy started to run.
And Tommy saw that there was
one more bad thing about winter.
Swift river,-and all the little brooks,
were covered , with thick ice and
there was no chance at all for him
and his mother to run through
shallow water and throw the dog
off their scent. ,
It was that strange dog that was
chasing them the one that belonged
to Farmer Green's hired man. He
was a. very fast runner, and in spite
of the usual tricks that foxes know,
Mrs. Fox and Tommy could not lose
him. v
Tommy began to be frightened.
And old Mrs. Fox herself was some
what worried. But she still had a
few trick up her sleeve. She didn't
intend to let that dog catch them
if she could help it.
"Oh. Motherl whatever shall we
do?" Tommy said. "Do you think
we can get away from him?"
"Of curse," Mrs. Fox answered.
"But you must do just as I tell you.
Now, follow right in my tracks,
and don't be frightened. I'm going
to show you a new trick one that
my own mother taught me when I
was no older than you are."
Mrs. Fox turned to the right and
started back across the valley. She
was going straight toward Swift
river.
"Oh, dear!" Tommy cried. "Don't
you know that the river is frozen
solid. Mother? The dog can fol
low us across it, as easy as any
thing." "Stop fussing 1" Mrs. Fox said,
looking over her shoulder at Tom-,
my. "We're not going to the r'ver.
You just mind me and you'll see,
in a few minutes, that we can fool
that dog." And she kept on run

Follow These .Questions and An
swers Arranged by
J. WILLSON ROY.
1. Why was the name Of Sauf
exchanged for that of Paul?
2. Why is Paul's first sermon at
Antioch (Acts xiii. 14-41) especially
remarkable?
3. Why were the apostles of Phi-
lippi represented as meeting the
Jewish people without the city by
a riverside f (Acts xvi. id.)
4. What was the Areopagus?
5. What were the Epicureans'
and Stoics' philosophies?
6. Who was JJyonysius tne Areo-
pagite? . '
Answers.
1. There are two opinions on this
subject. One is that the letter "P"
was substituted for the "S" for the
Roman sense of elegance: the other
is that the apostle assumed the name
of Paul in compliment to Sergius
Paulus, his illustrious convert.
2. Because of the circumstances
attending its delivery. It propounded
God's dealings with the Jewish peo
ple from the time of their departure
from Egyot. down to the moment
when it was delivered to his hearers
by the apostle.
J. Because the Jews, when resid
ing in foreign countries, generally
erected their synagogues near run
ning water for the convenience of
ablutions.
4. It was the supreme and most
famous tribunal of Greece, before
which all important cases were tried,
5. Epicureans held that the Al
mighty did not interfere- by His
providence, in the government of the
world; that the soul did not subsist
after the body; and consequently
there was no future state of retribu
tion. Stoics denied that man had
liberty of action, and maintained
that all things happened by destiny
and tatal necessity.
6. He was the most illustrious
convert made by Paul at Athens.

Where It Started
Poker.
The game of poker is the out
growth of a popular English" game,
played in the sixteenth century,
called "primero." This game was
adopted in the seventeenth century
by France, under the name of "am
bigu;" later it returned to England,
this time called "brag," and spread
f3 America, where in the west it
was given its final title of "Poker,"
with slightly altered rules.

.Romance In Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. I. KING.
Crows Birds of 111 Omen.
The raven and the crow are so
nearly related that they are fre
quently called by the same name and
for all superstitious purposes are one
bird. In all parts of the world, from
time immemorial, the crow or raven
has been regarded with a supersti
tious dread. The Australian abor
igine, the American Indian, the
German peasant, the farmer of old
England and of New England, heir
in his raucous voice a warning of
death or misfortune. .
This universal superstition with re
gard to the crow can evidently have
its origin in no mythological associa
tion. 1 he various and widely separ-
atea races wnicn emenam it prove
that it springs entirely from the phy
sical characteristics of the bird its
black and gloomy color and its harsh
and threatening voice characteris
tics naturally calculated to insoire
the primitive mind with, a sense of
foreboding. Aaoea to tms is the
crow's character as a crop destroyer
and his general actions as if he were
an enemy of man.
The superstition is merely one
arising from an association of ideas
with facts apparently symbolic of
those ideas, a process natural to the
primitive mind now and always. It
is true that in Norse mythology the
raven was the attendant bird of Odin
and . ravens flew screaming before
him when the god went forth to
war. But the assignment to this
position was entirely on account of
those characteristics which in lands
that never knew Odin made the crow
a harbinger of evil to the supersti
tious.. . -
