(Copyright. 1921, by Chicago Tribune Co.) CHAPTER X. H! andTfa, Ha! A great outcry rang through the woods the moment Jimmy Rabbit set out to race Grumpy Weasel and beat him. Shouts of "Good luck!" and "Run hard!" and "Hurrah for James Rabbit!" followed Jimmy. But old Air. Crow squawked, "You don't need to hurry!" He thought that the race was already as good as won, for Grumpy Weasel had in?isted on giving Jimmy Rabbit a start of 20 jumps. Meanwhile Grumpy Weasel glow ered. But he could not glower at Jimmy's friends, because he had to watch Jimmy himself in" order to count tjie first 20. jumps he took. When Grumpy counted 19Jj away he started. And old Mr. Crow, as he sat staring at the rare, declared that Grumpy Weasel hadn't a chance to win. The company seemed ready to take Mr. Crow's word for it that is, all except Grumpy Weasel's cousin, Peier 'Mink, lie spoke up and said that as for him, he would wait and see what happened. He didn't be lieve old Mr. Crow knew what he was talking about. Mr. Crow grew almost a purplish black with rage. "We'll all wait." lie said stiffly. "We'll all wait. And when the race is over voti will apologize to me." I'cter Mink merely grinned. He had no respect for his elders. And now he didn't appear to mind in the least when the entire company let him severely alone. Mr. Crow shot a triumphant look at him about an hour later, when Jimmy Rabbit came bounding into sight, with no one following htm. T3j k 1 V , .

MONTAGUE." . WHY I 'When Grurapq had counted nineteen ,Bd half awat) he started.-' "You may as well stop now," Mr. Crow told Jimmy. "You've as good as won the race already." Jimmy Rabbit said that he thought so, too, but he supposed he'd better keep running a while longer, till Grumpy Weasel gave up. So off he hopped again, .Everybody except Peter Mink laughed heartily Vvhen Grumpy Weasel came springing tip the slope a little while later. "You may as well stop now. You've as good as lost already," Mr. Crow greeted him. "Whose race is this yours or mine?" Grumpy Weasel hissed. And 'off he hurried, without pausing to hear Mr. Crow's answer. "We'll wait a while longer," Mr. Crow told the company, "for the end is so near we may as well see it." "Whose end?" Teter Mink asked him. ,"I mean the 'ml of the race, of -course!" Mr. Crow squalled. "Oh! I thought you meant the end of Jimmy Rabbit," Peter Mink re plied. . "Impossible! Impossible!" was all llr. Crow said to that,'- But he be gan to fidget which wks a sign that he was worried. And when Jimmy Rabbit appeared again Mr. Crow was not quite so cocksure when he asked if the race wasn't over, "It would be," Jimmy Rabbit an swered, "but the trouble is. Grumpy Weasel won't stop running!". "Hal" said .Mr., Crow hoarsely Rut Peter Mink said, "Ha, ha!" And there is a great difference between those two remarks, :is we shall see. .

In many parts of the country the f!ch of a fowl is regarded as a sure cure for snake-bite; in fact the sup erstition is rather general. 1 There are sections also where th? same "folk-medicine" is recommended for rheumatism, shingles, scarlet fever and diphtheria. There tre several variations of the superstition: In some s.:tn:. it is -nsistix that the application made should be ol the raw and deeding flesh of a fowl which has been stunned but is still alive, while n others it is sufficient that the fowl be newly killed. This superstition should read "a cock" instead of ' fowl" and there are places where they still say that a cock should be used in case of a man and a hen in case a woman is to be cured. .The origjj of the superstition is easily seen in the relation which the cock bore in Greek mythology to Aesculapius, the god of medicine and the son of Appollo. the sun-god. The cock's connection with the sun. whose first beams he hails with his crowing, made him a particularly ac ceptable and appropriate offering to Appollo's son. ' "Sacrifice a cock to Aesculapius" were the last words of Socrates. Though the ages have broadened the superstition a little so that we no longer are particular as to the sex of the fowr sacrificed, yet when we attempt to cure disease or snake bite br the aoolication of the flesh of a newly killed fowl we are, in ef fect, sacrificing a cock to Aescuia pius in the hope that theld Greek end wi accent t ie sacrn e ana e ve relief.

It was the teacher of the school Who said, "To lie is wrong. And little boys who break this rule Will never get along. The fibber died in rags and shame A hard and cruel fate While those who earn both wealth and fame Do not prevaricate." It was the little caddy boy A simple guileless youth Who vowed thereafter to employ The plain unvarnished truth. "If very earnestly," said 'he, "The teacher's words I heed, I rather think that I shall be Quite certain to succeed." So when next day a portly gink, Whose caddy bag he bore Said. "Look here, caddy, don't you think I made that hole in four?" The caddy viewed him, scornful eyed, And, thinking of the fate That liars always meet, replied, "G'wan! Yuh made an eight!" It was the little caddy boy Who spoke the truth so well That soon he managed to destroy f. A paying clientele. And thus the little guileless youth Found out to his surprise, That while some lads do well with truth, A caddy thrives on lies. ; Are Fingerprints Used for Identifi- cation? The idea of identifying people by ! their fingerprints, a practice which j has been of immense value in the solution of mysteries connected with J crime and Tvhich is only beginning to be recognized as a positive means i of identification in the commercial 1 world as well, was originally intro : duced in India where the British : authorities used it to impress the ! natives with the fact that there was ! no way in which a culprit could es ; cape certain detection. The officials of Scotland Yard, seeing in the sys i tern a perfect means of securing I proof that a certain man had been ! guilty of a crime though there be j r.o other, evidence of his guilt j adopted the fingerprint method o( I identification, and worked out a ser ies of classifications which enabled them to locate prints at a moment's ; notice. Experts who have spent years in vestigating the subject, claim that j the possibility of persons having the prints of their forefingers precisely ; alike is only one in 10,000.000, and : that the same percentage holds good ; for the thumb prints and those of the I other fingers, so that the possibility j of two persons having the prints of all five fingers the same would stretch almost into the realms of infinity. The tiny markings on the fingers, therefore, constitute a far better method of identification than the features or even the Bartillon system of accurate measurement of the head, the lobes of the ears and AMUSEMENTS.

When you were living in that small town or on the farm you were told of the big wages which you would be able to cam in the city, and you imagine- that it would be possible for you to go to the city and in ten years lay aside a good-sized bank account. Have you done it? Would not you have been better off had you remained on the farm or in the little town. ' If you have had your wages re duced or you fear you may lose your job, it is likely you are thinking about going back home. You are having a hard time to persuade yourself to do so because you are pretty well wedded to cer tain kinds of amusemtnt which you can get in the city, but which you miss in the back-home life. It is about time you got down to the realties and tried to think of getting something ahead. Show that you have grown up. Copyright, 1131. International Feature Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL The talismanic stone for this day of the year is the opaf, which when worn as a talisman, is not a symbol of bad luck. Indeed, it is regarded as a magnet for good fortune, and, because of its changing hues and touch of fire, it is said to change its wearer's life for the better, and to bring brilliancy of mind and attain ment. ' . Jade, today's natal stone, is re garded by the Chinese as a guarantee; that those born on an anniversary ot this date will enjoy a long and suc cessful life. Happiness and good health will be enjoyed by them, and in their old age they will know great happiness Green was the color which the mystics of the Orient alotted to to day; to wear green at this time is significant of joyousness and hope fulness on the wearer's part, but to. bestow a green gift on someone i prophetic of the breaking of a friendship. Today's flower is the Japanese Iris, which drives away.,all evil spir its from the home and protects those who dwell there. (Copyright, 1S21, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)
