But Mr. Crow could not forget the time when Dickie had awakened him out of, a sound sleep and frightened him almost out of his mind. So whenever he caught sight of Dickie the old gentleman was sure to drop down upon the ground and ask him in a loud voice w hose house he had prowled into lately. "Nobody's! Dickie Deer Mouse al ways told him. And then he would assure Mr. Crow that he was very sorry to have disturbed his rest. It was quite like Mr.' Crow, on guch occasions, to act grumpy. "I haven't had a goodnight's sleep since you broke into my house," he dclared to Dickie one day. "Perhaps you're over-eating," Dickie suggested politely. Old Mr. Crow did not appear to like that remark. "Nothing of the sort," he bawled. "I don't eat enough to keep a mos quito alive." "I often see you in the cornfield," Dickie Deer .Mouse told him. "Hal" Mr. Crow exclaimed. "What are you dointf in the cornfield, I should like to know "Someties I ro there to get a few kernels of corn," Dickie explained. "Ha!" Mr. Crow cried once more 0U- A LtTTWFfcOK TOO- . a-'SPECHU. DELWEEY. i rnvw, i ift hi ti - mm i v 0K- A CHECK IhMT FOR A tlXUAfc$.

Whonler Pynrtlcl. Ine. More Truth Than Poetry -By JAMES J. MONTAGUE" "That's where the corn's going! Ok Hal" Mr. Crow cried once more. Farmer Green thinks I'm taking it. And so you're getting me into a peck of trouble, young man." Dickie Deer ' Mouse couldn't help being - worried when Mr. Crow said that. . ,And he looked puzzled, too. "I don't taee," he said, "how I could have got you into a peck of trouble, Mr., Crow, for I haven't eaten a peck of Farmer Green's corn. I've had only a few kernels of it not more than half a pint." "Then you've got me into a half pint of trouble, anyway," old Mr. Crow insisted. , "And that's too much for a person of my age. You'll have to keep away from my ahem I Farmer Geen's cornfield. And what's more, Fatty Coon says the same thing.". , . At the mention of Fatty Coon's name Dickie ' Deer Mouse had to smile. "Fatty Coon!" he echoed. "How he does, like corn !" "Yes! But he doesn't like you," Mr. Crow snapped. "You'd better look out for him," he warned Diokie. "He'll come to call on you some night, the first thing you know. "By the way, where are you living now?" Mr. Crow inquired. But Dickie Deer Mouse made no answer. Right before Mr. Crow's sharp eyes he vanished among the roots of a tree. And it made the old gentleman quite peevish because he couldn't discover where Dickie Deer Mouse' had hidden himself. ' For a little while 'Mr.' Crow stood like a black statue and peered at the tangle where Dickie Deer Mouse had disappeared. But ' Mr. Crow couldn't see him anywhere. . And at last his .patience came to an end. " He never answered my question, Mr. Crow grumbled. . "He wouldn't tell me where he lived. But I'll tind out.'M'll ask 'my cousin.

That blouses still are going down And skirts as rapidljr receding. . . . . No more we view, with furrowed brow Clarissa, Mabel, Bess and Gwenny, And wonder, in a year from now What' raiment they will wear, if anyl It looked to us, for quite a while, As if an act of legislature Would be required to keep the style ' , . From getting too blamed close to nature. "We know," we said, "the modistes claim That modern modes are chic and clever, Though rather brief, but just the same. This thing cannot go on forever!" But as with low, embarrassed cries, ... We voice our awful agitation, The Fan's mannikins arise To meet and save the situation. . . Like France's army, they have turned, Their snapping eyes give notice, mutely, That style, as far as they're concerned Has gone the limit, absolutely! Paquin and Worth may rage and roar, But neither noise nor bluff will scare 'em, 1 If frocks are shortened any more - - These models simply will not wear 'em. The brave, heroic little band 1 The rule of reason has asserted. ' .. And bv their firm and gallant stand' -A hideous crisis is averted. NOT WORTH IT.

Some of these chorus girls are certainly making it hard for their sisters of the stage to get husbands. - (Copyright. 1031, by Th Bell Syndicate. Inc.) Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. Today's talismanic gem is one of great religions significance. It is the lapis lazuli, noted among the ancients for its ability to cure ner vous troubles, especially insomnia and melancholia. ' It is said to be a potent talisman for those who suffer from morbid thoughts, since it acts as a protection against them. The topaz is today's natal stone. It promises them all good fortune, and protection from harm, especial ly the harm which comes from evil associations. The ancients believed that those whose birthstone it was would enjoy contented and peaceful lives. Today's lucky color is yellow, which is said to bring happiness and love. (Copyright. 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) WHY- Do We . Taste Things? When we speak of the "sense; of taste" we think at once of the tongue, for here is the seat of the principal nerves of taste, though some of these lie in the palate and the tipper portion of the throat, transmitting the sensation which we call "taste" directly to the brain and registering an impression there precisely as sound or pain register. But, in order to be apparent, the object must be at least partially dis solved, either in water or in the nat ural fluid saliva secreted by the glands of the mouth, for even sub stances with marked tastes such as salt or quinine will not make the "taste impression" upon the brain unless applied in the form of solu tion to the nerves of the tongue or throat. Moreover, these nerves are not regularly distributed through the mouth, but are closer together at the tip of the tongue and at the back than they are at the center and the sides. It is for this reason that a pill, which would ordinarily taste bitter, may be swallowed with comparatively little annoyance if placed in the center of the tongue and washed down so quickly that it has no time to dissolve beiore pass ing the nest of taste-nerves at the back of the tongue. The difference in tastes notice able in different kinds of substances is due to the effect which these so lutions have upon the brain cells which control our nerve-reactions, just as sounds have varying intensi ties and the nerves of feeling indi cate different degrees of pain or pleasure. Taste, indeed, is very closely akin to another sense that of smell for the aroma of many things i which we eat blends itself Romance in Origin Of Superstitions stunt its growth, it brings, bad luck to a person to step over him when Stepping Over Persons or Things. If vou step over a child you will he is lying down or to step over his feet if he is sitting. Jt you step over a fisherman's pole you "hoodoo" his luck. These are some of the supersti tions common in this country with regard to "stepping over," and su perstitions of a kindred nature pre vail in Slavonia, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Bohemia and Syria. In Scotland if you are out hunting or fishing and you step over your companion's pole or gun he considers his luck Kone for the day. Kindred superstitions are found among the North American Indians and among many African tribes, The "stepping over" superstition thus appears to be a natural evolu tion from the primitive mind, one of the conceptions of which was of the human body as a sort of Lcyden jar capable of releasing influences which might be malevolent. A person stepping- over a recumbent person or his belongings was in a superior position to the person or thing re cumbent, more powerfully placed for evil. It was largely this Leyden jar idea which, among some ancient peoples and savage tribes, caused them to surround their rulers with taboo and prohibit them from touch ing the-ground; for the rulers were supposed to be more "highly charged" than ordinary mortals.
