THE TALE OF
B0BBY1
BOBOLINKS
BY ARTHURS BAILEY
CHAPTER XXII.
A Noisy Quarrel.
One odd thing marked Bobby
Bobolink's flights. He never flew
in a straight course, as old Mr. Crow
did, but darted this way and that,
crossing and turning and wheeling,
until it seemed sometimes to on
lookers that he was sure to skid
into a tree and meet with an acci
dent. And usually Bobby Bobolink
would sins' with such zest while he
was (risking about in the air that it
was a marvel to many how he could
do two things like that, at the same
time, and yet put so much life into
each.
Old Mr. Crow claimed that the
reason why Bobby Bobolink didn't
fly straight was because he had his
mind too much on his singing.
"He's nothing but a music-box
with wings," Mr. Crow often
'What are trou two quarreling
about uowf'
croaked. "As a flyer he couldn't
even beat crary Benjamin Bat"
It was the general opinion that
Benjamin Bat could make a longer
journey between two points than
anybody else in Pleasant Valley.
And there were some that disputed
Mr. Crow's statement. Jasper Jay
even went out of his way to tell
Mr. Crow that he had heard of his
remark, and that he was mistaken.
And they had such a wrangle that
they annoyed Mr. Hermit Thrush,
way over on the other side of Cedar
Swamp. Old Mr. Crow and Jasper
Jay were cousins. And everybody
knows that there is nothing worse
than a cousinly quarrel.
In order to quiet them, the Hermit
left his mossy retreat, in a dense
thicket, found the two cousins, and
asked them, "What are you two
quarreling about now?"
Neither Jasper Jay nor Mr. Crow
was noted for his gentlemanly man
ners. They both tried to explain at
the same time. And it made the
Hermit wince to listen to their loud,
harsh voices. He .was himself a
quiet bird; his voice was very sweet.
"There's only one way to settle
your dispute," the Hermit said when
the two cousins had succeeded in
making their trouble clear. "You
must arrange a race between this
Bobolink person and Benjamin Bat."
"Impossible! You don't know

what you're talking about!" Jasper
Jay and Mr. Crow both cried at the
same time.
The Hermit shuddered. He was
not accustomed to such language.
It hurt his gentle nature to be
spoken to like tbat. But he man
aged to stay there while the cousins
told him that such a race as he had
suggested couldn't be arranged, be
cause Benjamin Bat was always
asleep in the daytime, and Bobby
Bobolink took his rest at night.. The
two could never meet.
"Perhaps," said the Hermit, "I
could persuade Benjamin Bat to
change his habits for once. Maybe
he would be willing to stay awake
some day, just to oblige me."
"Bobby Bobolink is an obliging
fellow," Jasper Jay remarked. "Why
don't you ask him to stay awake
some night?"
But the Hermit said that that
wouldn't suit at all. "The Bobolink
person would be sure to sing his
most boisterous song," he said, "and
it would wake me up and spoil my
night's sleep. Let me' speak to
Benjamin Bat!" he urged the two
cousins.
And in the end they let him have
his way.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The talismanic gem for today is
the turquoise, of which the ancient
Romans held sacred to youth and
love; by them it was regarded as a
symbol of a successful and happy
future. Consequently, they dedi
cated it to Venus, the goddess of
love. "'
The lapis lazuli is the natal stone of
those born on an anniversary of this
day. It protects its wearer from
morbid and mournful thoughts, and
brings them congenial and helpful
friends.
Today's lucky color is light blue.
It is especially fortunate for use in
decorations, for weddings, or social
functions where many young people
are entertained.
Pink and white carnations bring
good luck and happiness today.

Parents' Problems
How can a little boy of 4 best
be taught to obey promptly?
One very simple- wy m which
this may be done is by counting.
For instance, say, "When I count
three, we start upstairs to bed one,
two, three.'" Vary rare, indeed, is
the small child who will not follow
this lure. .

another example of the survival of
the most ancient cult of luna wor
ship; an application of the doctrine
of luna sympathy once universal.
It is the same survival of a primi
tive idea which makes farmers of to
day, who would scout the idea that
they were superstitious, plant every
thing, except tubers, on the increase
of the moon. All folk-lore and all
mythology testify to the vital rela
tion which a person's hair bore in the
estimation of our ancestors to the
person himself, as well as to the
spiritual relation which subsisted
through it between the human being
and the gods.

Several of the distinguished scien
tists of ancient Rome wrote of the
matter as of something not to be
doubted. Now if, when the hair is
cue, the moon, symbol of the great
moon-goddess Isis, prototype of all
the mopn-goddesses, is waxing as
the operation takes place, by the doc
trine of luna sympathy the hair, also,
will wax and grow again, thick and
luxuriant. Whereas if you cut your
hair 'on a waning moon you stand
a risk of becoming baldheaded,
through this same luna sympathy,
the hair being especially susceptible
to the influence of the gods.

Do We Speak of "Hobon Choice?''
As used at the present time, this i
is a satirical expression indicative of
a "choice" when there is only one
thing to choose, but the phrase itself '
dates back to the days of Charles I
of England, when a man named To m"-
bias Hobson kept a livery stable at
Cambridge.
Hobson was famous in his day
as the proprietor of more than two
score of the. finest horses in tha
kingdom, but his method of handling
his customers was unique in the eN
treme. Anyone who wen to Hob
son's, had the privilege of looking
over all the horses in the stable, and,
theoretically at least, picking out tin
one which he wished to ride. But
Hobson would suggest that it would
be best to take the animal closest 1
the door, and if the suggestion did
not meet with approval, it wa A
transferred into an order. In othef
words, it was that horse or none at
all, for Hobson wished to make sura
that all his steeds received an equal
amount of work, and as soon as on a
horse was hired, the others would bn
moved up, and "Hobson's choice'11
would be ready for the next patroiu
In time, the fame of the livery stable
proprietor and his clever scheme fotj
foisting his own selection upon cus
tomers, spread throughout England,
and the phrase "Hobson's choice''
came to be a synonym for 'no choicd
at all."
