Dickie's Summer Home. Dickies Deer Mouse was busier than ever. When he wasn't looking tor tood and eating it when he found it lie gathered cat-tail down n Cedar Swamp. ' It there was one thing that he liked in a house it was a soft bed. And he knew that if the weather happened to be chilly now and then, he could snuggle into the cat-tail down and sleep as comfortably as he pleased. The swamp was none too near his new home; and he might have found moss or shreds of bark nearby that would have served his purpose. But he would rather have cat-tail down, even though he had to make a good many- trips back and forth before he finally lined the old bird's nest to his liking. Then, having finished his bed, he had to make a roof over it." So he k a-sl- If there was one thing that he liked in a. house it was a soft bed. covered the top of his house with moss, leaving a hole right ftnder the eaves, for a doorway. ''; When Dickie's home was done he was so pleased with it that he asked all his neighbors if they didn't like his "improvements," as .he called the additions he had made. And'all his Deer Mouse relations.'.told him that he certainly had a fine place. But none of the birds cared for it at all, except Long Bill Wren; and even he remarked that the house would be better "if it was rounder." As for Jasper Jay, he told Dickie Deer Mouse that, in his opinion, the house was ruined. "It's nothing but a trap," he de clared. "And I'd hate to go to sleep inside it." His views, however, did not trou ble Dickie Deer Mouse in the least. The olace suited him. And he was so happy in it that sometimes when the weather was bad and he wasn't whiskinsr about in the trees, or scur rying around on the ground, he would stay inside his cozy home, with only his head sticking out through the doorway, while his big, bright, bulging, black eyes took in -everything that happened in his door- yard. Dickie Deer Mouse knew that one needed sharp eyes to spy him when he was peeping from his house in that fashion. And often when some hodv of whom he was really afraid came wandering through the woods. Dickie would keep quite sun, wnne he watched the newcomer without scing seen. ' ' But with some of the wood folk he took no chances. Whenever he heard Solomon Owl's rolling call, or his cousin Simon Screecher's quavering whistle, Dickie Deer Mouse always punea nis neaq insiae mi house in a hurry. . , -. For they were usually on the look out for him. And he1 knew it Of course, if they had been aware lhat Dickie Deer Mouse was hidden inside his rebuilt, last year's bird's nest, either of them, with his sharp claws, could easily have torn the moss roof off Dickie's home. But luckily for Dickie, there were some things that they didn't know. Copyright. Grosset 4 Diinltp. More Truth Than Poetry -By JAMES J. MONTAGUE X Do You Know the Bible?

And wearied out colleagues would smile with content As he started to sway on his feet, And whisper: "He's done; It is pretty near one, And he's got to get something to eat" No matter . how wordy a statesman might be How eager to talk right along, You always could bet that the limit was set, For the claims of his stomach were strong. And though there was never a shortage of breath Or a lack in his verbal supply, The time always came when he bowed to the claim Of coffee and crullers and pie. But now in the corridor, right by the door, With an African waiter at hand, To juggle the lunch for the statesman to munch, , Is an up-to-date victualing . stand. And right in the midst of a high-tariff speech A senator signals for chow, And his casual need in the matter of feed Is served with a flourish and bow. No more do we say, when a Solon begips To stir up the ambient air, "He's soon going to feel that he's shy of a meal So there really's no cause for despair." He'll talk between bites, and he'll talk right along, And we feel that there's reason to fear, That some of those birds with unlimited words Will talk, when they start, for a year. SAFETY FIRST.

That going in a house at the front door and out by the back door brings strangers is a superstition practical ly universal in this country and Eu rope.' Doors were most serious matters to the ancients and a decid ed tinge of superstition hung about them. Among the Romans Janus,' a most esteemed deity, was the god of doors. He , was double-faced and, looking both ways, could watch the front and rear entrances. The door of his temple was opened only when there was war. ; At such times it, was necessary to release his full in fluence to guard the entrances the doorwaysKf the country. But our superstition that going in at the front door and out at the back brings strangers is evidently a sur vival not from any mythology, but arises from an actual experience of our barbarian ancestors, an expe rience not infrequent even in our own day. A barbarian fleeing from the avengers of blood or of other dereliction of his tribe, and taking shelter, in afriendly hut, would snea out by the back way to the safety of the forest when he heard his pursuers approaching and . the trackers, strangers to the owner of the hut, would trail him to the front door by which he had entered. If the hut .had no back door as was probable the fugitive's necessity for avoiding observation impelled him to make one by going through the back of the bu;lding. In the middle ages, . when houses generally had two doors, men were literally hunted and a fugitive going in at 'the front door of his friend's dwelling often literally "brought strangers" in pur suit ., . - Copyright, 1921, by The McCIure News paper syndicate. WHY Art Leaves of Different Shapes? Even a short walk :'n the woods will suffice to bring to light a score or more of leaves, of as many dif ferent shapes and sizes long and narrow, broad and flat, oval, round. tapering or angular. But no two of these shapes are to be found on the same plant or bush. Each is dis tinctive, typical of a certain family 2nd the outgrowth of that family's struggle for existence. , The object of the leaves of trees and shrubs is to convert the carbonic acid into food for th: plant itself, a: object which they accomplish by means of the chlorophyll, or green coloring matter just below the sur face. In the case of the larger trees it will be noted that the majority of the leaves are broad, thus exposing a larger surface to the sun and fa cilitating the changing of the car bonic acid gas and the throwing off of the oxygen, which, in turn, is used by all forms of animal life. The trees, being closer to the sun, have not had to exert themselves to se cure sunlight as -have many -of the smaller forms of vegetation where the leaves are long and thin, so that they may secure the maximum amount of light while stretching up wards. The different families of the vegetable kingdom havr therefore,, developed along lines best suited to their usual habitat, with the result that their leaves have assumed a shape and size typical of their kind.

But, you say 'I am doing nothing of which my wife does not approve.' Look at yo'urself in the glass some time and get the. expression of your eyes.

The big water .main which carries city water to the South Side will be lowered, gradually and carefully, at Twenty-fourth and St. Marys ave nue to meet the new level required by the St. Marys avenue grading project.

Andrew Pollack, water board foreman in charge, is fearless in his work, declaring he has lowered lots of 'em," without a break.
