Inside the jiiK, where -he had hid den to escape Henry Hawk, Grumpy Weasel yawned widely And licked his chops, lie was having a dull time, wailing until he was sure that Henry Hawk had given up , the chase and gone away. In a little while Grumpy believed he could venture out in safety. But suddenly, to his great disgust, a wagon came clattering in from the road and pulled up right beside the )ile of empty barrels near him. It- was Fanner Drown, driving his old horse Khenezer. And of course Grumpy Weasel didn't care o .show himself just then, especially with old dog Spot nosing around. He had already heard Spot give sev eral sharp yelps. "That old dog knows I'm here somewhere hut he can't tell exact ly where," Grumpy said' to himself. "He can yelp his head off, for all I rare." And then Spot began to whine, and run in and out among the barrels, until he all but tripped Farmer Green, who was loading the barrels nto the wagon. "Let him whine!" said Grumpy Weasel softly. "His yelping and whining don't scare me. He can't get inside this jug of mine. And I certainly shan't leave it so long as oe stays here." Meanwhile he could hear Farmer Green talking to old Spot, telling him not to be silly. "From the way you're acting any- ISO. ,TOld Spot didn-t getrintMs.tiine!: &e said $eefully . body might think there was a bear around here," he told Spot. , Old dog Spot explained to Fanner Green in no uncertain fashion that it was no bear but a weasel that he Avas looking for. His nose told him that. And there was no mis take about it. But somehow Farmer Green couldn't understand a word he said. So after putting the last barrel on the load Farmer Green climbed up himself and started to drive off.- But old dog Spot wouldn't budge an inch. He hovered about the jug where Grumpy Weasel was hiding and made such a fuss that Farmer Green looked back at him. "Well! well!" he exclaimed. And he stopped the horse Ebenezer and jumped down and walked back again. "I declare I'd have forgotten to take this jug if you hadn't reminded me of it," he told Spot. And there upon he picked up the jug and set it in the back of the wagon. This time Spot followed. This time he was in . the wagon' before. Farmer Green was. And all the way down the road, until they reached the farmyard, he acted (or so Farmer Green told himl) like a simpleton. The whole affair made Grumpy Weasel terribly angry. -He thought it" was an outrage for Farmer Green to kidnap him like that. . And he . was so enraged that he would have taken a bite out of anything Randy. But there wasn't a thing in the jug except himself. . . At last the strange party drew up in front of the barn and .stopped. Farmer Green led Ebenezer into his stall. . And then he took the "jug, vith Grumpy Weasel still inside" it, -and in spite of Spot's protests ; set it high tip. on a shelf in the -bam. ';Jt was easy for 'Grumpy, after that, .tt crawl out of the jug.- He scur- Med along the shelf, climbed up the ' -Avail, and glided through a crack in c ceiling, to hide himself in-the -."haymow above. ;v.-"01d Spot didn't get me this timel" he said glcefullv "Xot by a jugful, fie didn't 1" 'WHY Are Windows Broken by Ex , plosions? Those who were in the vicinity of the Long Tom explosion in July, 1916, or the explosion of the bomb vin Wall Street last year, will recall '.clearly that the roar which an- riounccd the detonation of the ex . plosives was followed almost in stantly by a shattering of glass for a "considerable distance. The Long jVfom explosion, for example, was credited with breaking more than $100,000 worth of glass in Brooklyn -., and- the lower part of New York T City, while the bomb which, was .directed at the Morgan offices in Wall street shattered windows more than a mile away. The reason for this lies in the fact ' that the force of the explosion sets ..'"the air in the immediate vicinity in V violent motion, with the effect of a high wind, which, instead of moy ' ing in one direction, sweeps out in " a constantly widening circle. These 'ir waves move forward with great ?" force, and, coming in contact with a broad expanse of brittle glass, .' shatter it just as waves would shatter a flimsy breakwater. In spite of the . fact that it is thicker than window v glass, plate glass present a broad surface, and is not supported except . at the extreme edges, so that an cx : plosion will frequently break a glass , of this nature, while the smaller . panes just above or below it may re- main unharmed. 1 Tomorrow WHY is Some Music Called "Jan"? . 0t frith t. 1S21.

J i 0V4E ow J . Ace with a. hot - ' ' More Truth -By JAMES J. Wst--..-. . THERE ARE PEOPLE AND PEOPLE There was a certain manager Whose shows were mostly girls, And girls who wore but little more Than brown and golden curls. He brought the show to old New York And, simple truth to tell, Though critics panned it out of hand It really did quite well. For though the somewhat human race We do not like to knock. It's really 'true that quite a few , Are fond of shows that shock. There was another manager Who chuckled when he got A play that had a very bad Or wholly vicious plot. He brought the show to old New York. And though folks more or less Were scandalized, as he surmised, It made a big success. We. hate to paste the human race Which we belong to, but. There's quite a lot who like a plot That's very largely smut. Another manager put on A play of simple life. The sort of show to which you'd go And take your kids and wife. And now there're crowds around the door Who clamor and entreat, And think they've struck a run of luck If they can get a seat. For though some members of our race Are low and base and mean. There's more you know, who like a show That's absolutely clean. ANY RATE THEY MAKE THEMSELVES The railroads are willing to accept business at any rate.

Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL The talismanic gem for today is the agate. Cardona, who was a great authority on the meaning of precious stones, claimed that the agate Was sure to bring its wearer pleasant dreams, and deep, calm sleep. It is also said to be a protection against accidents and contagious diseases. 'The natal stone for those born ou an anniversary of this date is the cat's eye. A superstition comes to us from Ceylon to the effect that this gem drives away evil spirits from its wearer. In this country it is inter preted to mean that the owner of a cat's eye will be free from morbid thoughts. - Green is the fortunate color for today. It is symbolic of everlasting hope and youthfulness. The symbolic flower for today is the pink rose. (Copyright, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Where It Started "Up to the Scratch." , This expression originated in the old bare-knuckle days of boxing. As there was no. ring, but merely a roped-off arena on the turf, a scratch was made in the ground dividing? the space into two equal parts, and the fighters "came up to the scratch" to meet each other.

The fanners charge, he continued, that "profiteering by middle men'' is to a great extent "responsible for the terrible losses they have recently sustained" and also that "arbitrary restriction of credit by the federal reserve banks and the holding up of the federal farm land banks through filibustering litigation has contribu ted to a very great extent, to the precarious condition in which agri culture now finds itself." He charged that co-operative farm organizations "have been discrimi nated against by common carriers and everything possible done by financial despots to discourage co operation by the farmers for the pur pose of collectively marketing their products."
