14 THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, mzi. PY-TIME TALES tee( TO R -i THE TALE OF BQBBY I BOBOLINK BYARTHUJOT BAILEY an. at s t- v Common Sense CHAPTER XXI. How to Take Bad News. For once Bobby Bobolink's heart seemed to come right up into his mouth. Usually he never let any thin; dash his high spirits. If mat ters didn't go exactly as they should with him he would laugh and say 1 21 ,"You know."li added. Ve haven't been introduced,". that probably they would be difTer ?nt tomorrow. And more likely than not he would burst into the jol liest song he knew. Singing like that always helped him amazingly, whe.1 a good many people would have moped and looked glum. But now the gloomy warning of Jolly Robin's mournful cousin, the Hermit Thrush, threw a sudden dread into him. "Why" he asked the Hermit in a quavering voice "why do you think I'm likely to explode some day when I'm singing?" "I don't think that. I know it," the Hermit corrected himself. "No bird can crowd one note upon an other the way you do without run ning a terrible risk. If you don't do differently, some fine day your wife is going to miss you. And when the neighbors search for you and find nothing but a few feathers scattered on the ground they'll know what has happened to you." , Bobby Bobolink actually began tr tremble as the Hermit described th terrible end that awaited him. Hq was so alarmed that all he could say was, "My goodness!" ) "I thought I ought to tell you," the Hermit went on. "I thoug'it maybe you didn't understand. And now that you've a wife and children, too, of course you ought to tal:c " care of yourself. You won't want any such accident to happen to you "No, indeed!" Bobby Bobolink as sured him. "And you must tell me how I can sinp fast as I always do and vet do it safelv." "Ah!" the Hermit exclaimed. J "That can't be done. You must sing s more slowly, as I do. Take plenty of time for every note. And above all, don't sing very often!" "Oh! I never could sing that way!" Bobby Bobolink cried. "I have to sing joyful songs. And yoh know you always sing that kind in quick time." "Pardon me!" said the Hermit, vwho was a most polite person. "1 never sing joyful songs. So you sec you arc mistaken." "Well, if you sang the sort I do you'd know that they have to be given in a lively fashion," Bobby toU him. "I don't see how it would be possible to make a song sound mer ry if it had to be sung slowly." The Hermit pondered over that speech. "There's only one thing for you t do," he said at last. "You must se lect only mournful songs. . . . You know you sing them in slow time." , "Pardon me!" Bobby Bobolink said,, for he was determined to be just as polite as . the Hermit. "I never sing mournful songs. So you see you are mistaken." Now, for some reason the Henna thought that a rude remark, though it was quite like one that he had made himself but a few moments before. He drew himself up stiffly and said that he didn't care to talk with Bobby Bobolink any further. "You know," he added, "we haven't been introduced." ' ' ' 1 Somehow that amused Bobby. Before he knew what he was doing he had laughed atoud. And the moment he laughed he felt so happy once more that he couldn't help singing. So he started right in the middle of a song, where it was the liveliest. And finding, when he had finished, that he hadn't exploded, but felt better for the effort, he never paid any more heed to the Hermit's solemn warning. As for the Hermit, he went straight off to the other side of Ce dar Swamp to live. He claimed that he simply had to have quiet. And there was no such thing with Bobby Bobolink around. , (Copyright, Qrosset A Dunlap.) By J. J. MUNDY. Master Yourself.

I Dog Hill Paragrafs R r!Arca RinrrViie-M ' ' w7 awtwjt, Poke Eazley has gone to Bound ing Billows on business. Being in a big hurry to get there he left here Romance in Origin Of Superstitions Another Love Superstition. One of the various superstitions regarding love matters which is com mon in the rural districts of this and many other countries consists in divining by the dodder plant, a gol den, thread-like parasite which grows abundantly upon bushes. Take the dodder and, whirling it three times around your head, throw it on a bush. If it lives your love is re turned; if it dies the reverse is the case. For so many centuries has the dodder been used by the supersti tious for this purpose that its com mon name has become "Love Vine." Its real and ancient name, dodder, is derived from a Teutonic word meaning like the yolk of an egg yellowish and connecting it up with the yellow light of the sun. Ancient myths and folk-lore tales show that the conception of the man as a tree and the woman as the clinging vine was as familiar a symbol to early man as it is to us as a modern meta phor, Mr. Caveman was an observing person his wits were sharpened by his constant struggle to escape anni lvlation; observation of minutiae and drawing pf deductions therefrom was one of his strong points. He saw the dodder clinging to the bush as the ivy clings to the oak. He say that the dodder was yellow like the light of the sun, like the yolk of an egg. The egg contained the germ of life, the sunlight was a mystic, vivifying force from the sun-god. In his mix up of things material and thing3 spiritual he concluded therefrom that the dodder must possess mystic qualities which rendered it most ap propriate for working magic with regard to love affairs. And he passed the idea on to us, his super stitions descendants. (Copyright, 1S1, by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) WHY- Are American Sailors Called "Gobs?" Just as the United States soldiers entered a vigorous protest against being called a "Sammy," or any of the other home-made terms which were applied to them during the World war, the United States sailor has always objected to "Jackie" tlic name which has been applied to him by a number of writers whose knowledge of the sea was gained through an occasional glimpse of the docks. "Jack is allowed to pass unchallenged, while "Jackie." being a diminutive that smacks of the ef feminate and childish, always causes the sailor to wince. His own name for himself is "gob," a term which dates back to the middle of the last century when Perry made his Asi atic expedition. It was at this time that the Orien tals first . applied the name "goh etiitpe" to the American sailors, and. when the American Naval Asiatic ; station was later established, the title persisted to such an extent,-that the sailqrs brought it home with them, gradually spreading through out the entire navy the shortened form of "gob."

This term was originally given to the settlers in New England by the Indians, but there seems to be a di vision of opinon as to just how it originated." Thierry says it comes from "eankke," a Cherokee word meaning "not brave," given in deri sion, but most authorities concur in believing that it came from the effort to pronounce the word English,'' the result being "Yengecs," which was corrupted to the present term. ..

You work just as much or just as little as you see fit. You can start work and quit when you please. 'Of course as the boss it is up to you to decide what you will pay yourself. Most employers pay on a basis of the amount of work performed. What have you decided to pay yourself will it be a capital award? Is your en deavor worth a capital award as wage? Have you given this matter enough thought? Estimate what the securing of a capital award would mean to you as a wage and then be honest with yourself in the matter of 'fixing your pay. You can have the big pay of the first capital award if you like, but you must work for it and work hard. The Manager of the Help Yourself Club makes the positive statement that no one member has done so well that they can afford to ease down on their efforts. None are in a position in which other members cannot pass them. . With the 50,000 extra vote offer in effect during the next two weeks, it is up to the members who want to win captial awards to utilize every moment and every opportunity to secure votes Go back to those friends who have already given you subscriptions for second payments. Get fu ture subscriptions from those who could not take The Bee when you last saw them because of their having a paid-up subscription for another paper. The awards you secure will depend to a great extent on the work you do in this two weeks. In justice to the two club members who won the Special Additional Awards of the Overland and Gardner cars, the names of the members to whom these cars are to be awarded will not be announced until the end of the Campaign, as it would not be fair to let their competitors know just how much business they turned in during the period.

"'Ililln ' $1,115.00 GOOD MAXWELL TOURING CAR There are nine of these Good Maxwell touring cars offered at first Dis- trict awards in each of the nine Districts. After eliminating the names of the members who secure the capital awards, these cars will be awarded to the mem ber in each District having the largest number of votes. This means that each member has an opportunity to secure a Capital - Award, but that if their efforts are not strong enough to put them at the head of all the members, they can still be at the head of their own District, where the District members are working under just the same conditions as themselves. These Maxwells are classy cars and are well worth some hard work. Whatever else you may do, at least play for the high place in your own District. EXTRA VOTE OFFER 50,000 Extra Votes for each $25.00 in subscriptions and 2,000 Extra Vtrtes for each dollar over $25.00. This offer is open only from June 6th until June 18th.
