a celebrated beauty of those timej
(the days of Charles I.) was in the
Cross Bath and one of the crowd
of her admirers took a glass of the
water in which the fair one stood
and drank her health to the com

fellow, half fuddled, who offered to
jump in, and swore, though he liked
not the liquor, he would have the

Going along the same way year

You are losing interest in the

Kissing Under the Mistletoe.
The mistletoe, in Scandinavian
mythology, is a plant of evil when it
touches the earth; therefore it is al
ways suspended high in the air when
used as a decoration. When persons
of opposite sexes pass under it, they
must kiss each other, as a token that
the mystic plant shall have no evil
influence over them.

But Grwnpg Weasel never stopped
once.:
he was growing tired. Now and
then Jimmy stopped to rest. And he
kept hoping that Grumpy Weasel
had become so weary that he had
given up the chase.
But Grumpy Weasel never stopped
once. And whenever Jimmy Rabbit
spied him coming along his trail
Jimmy would spring up with a sigh
and rush off again.
Tie began to understand that such
a race "was no joke. He certainly
didn't want to lose the race. And he
certainly didn't want Grumpy
Weasel to come up with him. He
had always kept at a good safe dis
tance from that ill-natured fellow.
And Jimmy felt most uneasy now
at the thought of Grumpy's catching
him.
"Me must be very hungry, after
running so far," Jimmy Rabbit said
to himself anxiously. "If he's as hun
gry as I am he wouldn't be a pleas
ant persons to meet." And that
thought made Jimmy run all the
faster, for a time. But he soon
found that he had to stop more often
to rest. And to his great alarm
Grumpy Weasel kept drawing nearer
all the time.
At last Jimmy Rabbit became so
worried that he swept around by the
stone wall again and stopped to.
whisper to old Mr. Crow.
"He's still chasing me. And I can't
run forever. What shall J do?"
Jimmy asked the old gentleman.
"I'll think the matter over and let
you know tomorrow," Mr. Crow
muttered hoarsely. To tell the
truth, he v.as alarmed himself. And
he had no idea what Jimmy Rabbit
could do so save himself from
Grumpy Weasel.
While they talked, Grumpy's cous
in, Peter Mink, watched them slyly.
"Who -do you think is going to
win the race?" he jeered.
Mr. Crow did not even turn his
head. He felt very uncomfortable.
But he tried to look unconcerned.
"Run along!" he said to Jimmy.
"Tomorrow I'll tell you what to do."
"Tomorrow" Jimmy Rabit pant
ed "tomorrow will be too late."
Then all at once Mr. Crow had an
idea. And he whispered something
in one of Jimmy Rabbit's long ears
that made the poor fellow take
heart. '
"All rightl" Jimmy cried. "I'll see
you again sometime I And away (
he ran, just as Grumpy Weasel came
racing along the stone wall, looking
as fresh as a daisy.
"You'd better stop and rest a
whileP Mr. Crow croaked. "If you
get too tired you'll never win." '
"Rest!" Grumpy exploded. "I don't
need to rest! I never felt better in
my life, except that I'm pretty
hungry. But I'm bound to win this
race." As he spoke of feeling hungry
he cast a longing glance 'at Jimmy
Rabbit, who was just dodging out of
sight behind a distant tree.
"Wait here a bit, anyhow!" Mr.
Crow urged him. "Since you're "sure
to win as you say there can be
no hurry." And Peter Mink too
begged his cousin Grumpy to stop
just a minute. And he laughed, "Ha,
ha!" whenever he looked at Mr.
Crow..
And strange to say, Mr. Crow
said, "Ha, ha!" too.

THE WISE PRINCE
When various princes and princesses found,
Because of unsettled conditions,
That within a few weeks they would have to look 'round
And get themselves other positions;
The future appeared rather vividly blue
And they viewed it with bitter misgiving,
For there wasn't a one of the whole royal crew
That knew how to work for his living.
And now there are some of them carrying trays,
And some of them butling of chauffing,
Which trades, we are told, throughout Europe, these days
Are paid little better than loafing.
And all of them wish they some'effort had made, -
In the days when prospects seemed sunny,
To study some handy profession or trade
Which would bring 'em in a little more money.
Not so the young heir to the kingdom of Spain,
Should his parents get mad and disown him.'
Or his subjects get sick of monarchial reign
And in the near future dethrone him,
He woh't have to dig with his pick in a ditch
Like everyday commonplace toilers; !
He'll merely set back and get rapidly rich
By selling his capons and broilers.
lie's learning to raise poultry, and not the fluff kind
With which certain kings raise the dickens;
The sort that this bird has now got on his mind
Are feathered arid edible chickens. .' '
He may keep his throne and again he may not
But in case any trouble commences,-
With all of the eggs and the chickens he's got,'
He won t need to cut down expenses!

GENUINE INNOVATION.

but it is only lately that one has been employed to boost a bank,
NO FORCE NECESSARY.

injunction to keep out of that country.

Divorce quotations, at $1,000,000 per, seem to dispose finally of the old
superstition that two can live as cheaply as one.

WHY
Do We Speak of "Drinking a
Toast?"
The use of the word, "toast" in
this sense of a drink consumed in
honor of someone or something,
arose from the old custom of placing
toasted bread in wine, and the way
in which the term came to signify
the health or well-being of the per
son in honor of whom the libation
was offered, is described in an early
issue of the latter : ,

A
Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Thj pink tourmaline should be
worn today, since it is both the talis
manic stone and natal gem of those
born on an anniversary of this date.
It is potent as a protection against
disaster, which is important inas
much as an ancient belief claims that
those born on this date were sure
to end their lives through accident.
; The tourmaline not only protects
its wearers from accidents, but also
guards them from destructive men
tal forces, such as worry, fear and
doubt. It should be worn on a
hain around the neck or so set in
a ring that it will touch the flesh,
if the wearer is to enjoy to the full
its protective powers.
Pink is today's color. It also has
protective powers on this date, ac
cording to the ancients, and is
specially potent in guarding those
. who travel against accidents.
Today's flower is the hyacinth.
hich brings financial success and
domestic happiness.
