THE TALE OF
DICK I
EE
U
Rr
CHAPTER I.
A Little Gentleman.
AH the four-footed folk in the
neighborhood agreed that Dickie
Deer Mouse was well worth know
ing. Throughout Pleasant Valley
there was no one else so gentle as
he.
To be sure, Jasper Jay wore beau-
But won they had to admit that Dickie
Vd3 a spick-and-spin tjounj chap.i
tiful perhaps even gaudy clothes;
but his manners were so shocking
that nobody would ever call him a
gentleman.
As for Dickie Deer Mouse, he
was always -tastefully dressed in
fawn color and white. And except
sometimes ' in the spring, when he
needed a new coat, he was a real joy
to see. . For he both looked and
acted like a well-bred little person.
It is too bad that there "were cer
tain reasons which will appear
later why some of his feathered
neighbors did not like him. But
even they had to admit that Dickie
was .spick-and-span young chap.
. Wherever he was white he was
white as snow. And many of the
"wild people wondered how he could
Scamper so fast through the woods
and always keep his white feet
spotless.
Possibly it was because his mother
had taught him the way when he
was. young; for his feet and the
under side of him were white even
when he was just a tiny fellow, so
yourtp; that the top side of him was
gray instead of fawn colored.
How his small-white feet would
t,.V.L.U Um frlct-prt ahi-int in the
.VVllll.ll. .' .IV . iu.ivu ' ' -
shadows of the woods and ran like
a squirrel through the trees! And
how his sharp little cries would
break the wood-silence as he called
to his friends in a brisk chatter,
which sounded like that of the
squirrels, only ever so far away I '
In many other ways Dickie Deer
Mouse was like Frisky Squirrel
himself. Dickie's idea of what a
good home ought to be was much
the same as Frisky's: they both
thought that the deserted nest of one
of the big Crow family made as
fine house as any one could want.
And they couldn't imagine that any
food could possibly be better than
nuts, berries and grain.
To be sure, 'Dickie Deer Mouse
liked his' -nuts to have thin shells.
But that was because he was smaller
than Frisky; so of course his jaws
and teeth were not so strong.
Then, too, Dickie Deer Mouse had
a trick of gathering good things to
eat, which he hid away in some safe
place, so that he would not have to
go hungry during the winter, when
the snow lay deep upon the ground.
And even Frisky Squirrel was no
spryer at : carrying beechnuts or
any other goody to his secret cup
board than little white-footed Dickfe
Deer . Mouse. ...
It -was no wonder that Dickie
. could be cheerful right in the dead
ot winter, when he had a fine store
:f the very best that the fields and
forest yielded, to keep him sleek and
fat .and happy. So even on the
coldest nights, when the icy wind
whipped the tree-tops, and the cold,
pale stars peeped down ajjoong the
branches, Dickie scampered through
the. woods with his friends and had
the gayest of times.
, No one would have thought that
he had a care in the world.

More Truth Than Poetry
-By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
CASUS BELLI
Rintine against a 22 Der cent alcohol bill has lately taken place in
a number of towns in Holland.
Troughout the recent trouble
The Dutch their tempers curbed
'Mid all the roar and shock of war
Serene and undisturbed.
While cannon-shot and shrapnel
Sailed right above their heads,
With minds at ease they churned their cheese
And tilled their tulip beds.
The Germans tried to bluff them,
The allies threatened war, ,
Bat quite content their ways they went
As calmly as before.
Thlegmatic and unworried,
Though discord filled the air,
They said as how this gorgeous jow
Was none of their affair.
But when their legislature
(Or queen, or parliament)
deduced their brew abruptly to
Just twenty-two per cent,
Up rose the stolid Dutchmen
United, one and all,
And in a stage of furious rage
They howled, "More alcohol I"
Though ordinary troubles
Will leave a Dutchman cold,
Though day by day he goes his way
With feelings well controlled,
Don't think he has no temper,
He'll fool you if you do,
He's there with bells when some one yells:
"Come! Battle for your brew!"
Summer School

Young People
Business Training Will Keep
Them on Pay Roll, Accord
ing to Head of Boyles
Business College.
"Iiv times like these the summer
school affords a new opportunity for
amhitinna mm and women. BOVS
and girls just out of the grades may
not always appreciate the value ot

' have learned that they must have
special training tor business, ao ap
preciate it."
The above remark was made by
H. B. Boyles, president of Boyles
college. He continued: "Young
people and those not so young have
been brought face to face with the
fact that a business training will
keep therrf on the pay roll when
imiscle-workers are being laid off.
TI.ese folks are pfenning to make
use of their vacations by adding to
their public school education1 that
finishing touch which enables them
to get a good position in business
and succeed in it.
"The great majority of office as
sistants work all summer long, with
rt pvrrntinn of a short vacation.

fact, nearly everybody works all
summer long. There i? no better
season in which to study. The
value of a summer school is found in
the fact that the work is systema
tized and each student receives the
pL-rsojial attention of the tearher."

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
Sewing As a Charm.
They say in New England that if
a girl sews a button upon the cloth
ing of a marriageable man she will
marry . him before the year is out.
Kindred superstitions are common in
various parts of the country. In some
sections it is believed that if a wo
man while sewing on a dress acci
dentally sews it to the garment she
has on as many Hes will be told
about her as she takes stitches; and
in many others the superstition is
that if a garment is mended while
it is being worn lies will be told
about the wearer.
These superstitions are remnants
of the ancient ' belief in imitative
magic. s The first one about the
sewing of the button is exactly in
accord with the belief and practice
of our remote ancestors. As the girl
fastened the button to the man s
clothes so she fastens together his
life and hers. The other two have
become slightly distorted in their de
scent through the centuries, but are
plainly forms of the superstition men
tioned by Ovid in his "Fasti" nearly
two thousand years ago. He repre
sents a witch as attempting .to stop
people lying about her by sewing up
the moutn ot a nsn. urtginauy h
was believed that by sewing up a rent
in a srarment while wearing it we
"sewed up"- or stopped, the mouths
of those who lied about us.
The rhyme common in Connecti
cut and a few other localities
"If you mend his clothes upon his
back
It's a sign his troubles will never
come back.
Is much nearer the original form
of the superstition and more in ac
cordance with orthodox homeopathic
magic. In Bulgaria a peasant woman
will sometimes sew together tne
skirts of her dress after dark, thus
"sewing up" the jaws of the wolves
so that they can not injure the cat
tle during the night.

Rise Above the Gang.
Supposing someone should ask you
10 important but out of the ordinary
questions on the line of work you
follow. Do you think you could
answer them?
In other words, have you made any
attempt to post yourself, in your line,
aside from the few points which you
think necessary in order to hold your
job?
If you are thoroughly familiar with
practically everything which pertains
directly to what you do for a living
would you not feel that you were
entitled to more pay?
Would vou not have more confi
dence in asking for an increase qfj
salary if you realized that you are
better posted in your line of work
than any other man in your depart
ment, and consequently are more
valuable to your employer?
Is there any special reason why
you should be retained for your job
if you are just on a par with the
other men working with you?
Isn't it about time for you to show
that you are head and shoulders
above the men who work with you,
and then you may feel surer that you
are a valued employe, for the ones
who know that most are really the
most modest in manner and habit of
instructing others in their work?
If you were the employer, which
man would you strive to keep?
It is the peer ot all yon wouid
favor.

Head of Institute of Business
Says Better Help Is Now
Demanded.
Business men of Omaha appre
ciate efficient help and we have suc
ceeded in impressing them with the
quality of our graduates, judging by
the calls for office help that this
business college is receiving every
week," says Professor J. A. Young
strom, manager of the American In
stitute of Business Efficiency, second
floor I. O. O. F. building.
' In spite of the business depres
sion that has affected so many, in
every line of work, every graduate
from our school has been placed,"
he says. "Last week four additional
students were sent to positions, and
in addition we had a number of calls
for both bookkeepers and stenogra
phers that we were unable to fill."
'He says there is a decided differ
ence in the calls for office help now
and a year ago. A year ago quali
fications were questioned but little,
whereas now business men are de
manding that their assistants be
thoroughly proficient.
