SlfePY-TIME TALES
WJr THE TALE OF
DICKIE1
CHAPTER X.
A Bit of Advice.
"It's like this," bauy Coon said,
puffing a t)it on account of his
climb as he looked up at Dickie
Deer Mouse. "Old Mr. Crow says
hat F.-irmrr Green is sroins to SIC
old dog Spot on nic if I don't keep
out of the cornfield.
"Well, I should say it was very
kind of Mr. Crow to tell you,"
Dickie remarked.
Fatty Coon was not so sure of
that.
"He'd like to have the cornfield to
himself," he told Dickie. "He'd like
nothing better than to keep me out
f it. And jX 0,1 do8 Spot is com
ing there after me, I certainly don't
want to go near the place again."
"Then I'd stay away, if I were
you," Dickie Deer Mouse told him.
"Ah! That's just the trouble 1"
Fatty Coon cried. "I can't 1 I'm too
fond of corn. And that's why I've
come here to have a word with you,"
he went on. "I've noticed that you
haven't set foot in the cornfield since
I spoke to you over there in the
middle of the day. And I want you
to tell me how you manage to stay
away."
"Something seems to pull me right
away from it," Dickie Deer Mouse
told him.
Fatty Coon groaned.
"Something seems to pulj me to
wards the eornl" he wailed.
Dickie Deer Mouse couldn't help
feeling sorry for him.
"If there was only something else
li 1 I

"Don't rrriss a single treel'Dickie
called to him..
that you liked better than green
corn," he said, "perhaps it would
help you to keep away from this new
danger."
"But there isn't 1" Fatty Coon ex
claimed.
"Have you ever tried horns?"
Dickie Deer Mouse asked him.
Fatty Coon looked puzzled.
"What kind " he asked his small
friend.
"Deer's 1" Dickie explained. "You
know they drop them in the woods
sometimes. I've had many a meal
off deer's- horns. And I can say
trutlituuy mat mere s noming quuc
like them when you're hungry."
Fatty Coon actually began to look
hopeful.
"I'm always hungry," he an
nounced. "And perhaps if I could
get a taste of deer's horns they
would keep my mind off the corn
field. Where did you say I could
find some?"
"I didn't say." Dickie Deer Mouse
reminded him; "but I don't object to
telling you .where to look. They're
jenerally to be found in the woods,
lear the foot of a tree."
Fatty Coon's face brightened at
Mice.
VThcn it ought to be easy for me
to get a taste of some." he cried.
And he began to crawl down the
ree even as he spoke.
He did not thank Dickie Deer
Mouse for his help. But that was
- . . . . I .. f.: m!nri
ike r any. Always rviuK ib
m eatables, he was more than likely
:o forget to be. polite.
Little Dickie Deer Mouse smiiea
is he watched the actions of his late
caller. The instant Fatty Coon
reached the ground he began to look
under the trees first one and then
mother. ...
"Don't miss a single tree!" Dickie
railed to him.
"Don't worrv 1" Fatty Coon re
sited. "I'm going to keep looking
mtil I find some deer's horns. And
! hone 111 like'em when I find 'em,
!or I'm terribly hungry right now."

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES j. MONTAGUE
AN APOLOGY. :t
When lovely woman first declared ,
No more her soul should custom fetter
Allowing she was quite prepared . , . . . .
To do man's work as well. or better.
We knew, of course, that she was fit ;
For many useful occupations
And yet, we might as well admit
We held out certain reservations.'
"She can," said we, "succeed at law;
Her fine capacity for fury .
Will cow a judge, and overawe
The thickest sort of hard-boiled jury. .
And though the sight of blood, mayhap '
In her more easeful days has shocked 'er .
When she gets on a gown and cap
She'll make a pretty able doctor.
"But in the higher walks of crime
Although she's bright and shrewd and clever,
She'll not succeed for quite a time
In fact, the chances are, not ever.
High crime requires a heavy tax
On strength and nerve, when once you've planned it,
In both these things a woman lacks;
She'll never be a first-class bandit."
But now we read about a jane
Who robbed and rolled a helpless victim .
And when he ventured to complain
She tucked up both her sleeves and licked him.
Our prophecies of woman kind
Have met, it seems, with dire disaster
In consequence, we've changed our mind;
There's nothing that she cannot master.
HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
Why Dicky Called Madge "an In
curable Optimist"
Why is it, I often ask myself re
belliously, that there is never an
ecstatic experience, a red letter day
in one's life without the reaction fol
lowing it, the prosaic let-down which
seems the inevitable corellary of any
unusual happiness?
It is a question I never have been
able to answer, and I found my im
potence especially maddening as I
contrasted Dicky's attitude of the
evening before, when in Ahasherus
like mood he had been willing to
grant any boon I asked, to this
morning's sulky characterization of
himself as a fool because he had
yielded in the matter of the Dacey
farm. But there was too much at
stake for me to waste time in mourn
ful introspection, and I constrained
my brain and voice to the topic sur
est to restore his good humor.
"I want to get -back before Ju
nior finishes his breakfast," I re
marked, as if casually. "I want to
see him when Marian first introduces
him to the cows and chickens. Of
course, he saw them last year, but
he was just a baby then."
"He remembers 'em just the
same." Dicky declared fatuously, all
his resentment and irritation vanish
ing, as I knew it would, at any ref
erence to his son. "All the way out
on the train when he wasn't asking
for you he was talking about 'moo
cows,' and 'baby kickens. "
"He has them in his picture
books," I began unwisely, then
stopped, for Dicky frowned porten
tously. "He remembers 'em, I tell you!"
he retorted emphatically. "I did the
same thing, mother says, wiien i was
his age" this with a complacence
that made it difficult for me to sup
press a smile. The next minute I
was glad indeed that I had kept my
face sober, for Dicky reluctantly
grinned, evidently with a belated
realization of his own absurdity.
Where's the Car?"
"I tell you that you don't realize
what a heritage of brilliant mental
ity that child has on Iiis paternal
side," he said banteringly. "Now,
on his mother's, of course "
He crossed the room and kissed
me. while l smootnea nis sieep-
r ' . . .... 1
rumpled nair a cares ne iovcs.
With the inconsistency of woman
hood, my heart shed its load of pes
simism at any hint of tenderness on
my husband's part.
"Where's the car?" Dicky asked as
he took his arm from my waist and
began to retrieve his scattered cloth
ing, flung wherever he had happened
to be standing when he removed each
article thes night before.
"In the barn down here," I replied.
"I walked over and back this morn
ing, and, oh, Dicky, the sunrise was
wonderful I"
"Stingy thing," he commented ag
grievedly. "Wonder you wouldn't let
me have a look-in at a view like
that."
A Swift Change.
I looked at him closely, decided
that he actually meant what he said,
and wondered what he would have
done if I had wakened him an hour-J
earlier with a request to look at the
sunrise. The memory of his crusti
ness gave an unconscious edge to
my voice.
"It is a wonder, isn't it?" I re
plied banally enough, and stopped
abruptly, self-reproachtul at my own
folb'. I wished to keep Dicky in
good humor, and yet could not re
frain from the sly little sting. For
tunately, however, his good humor
had been so thoroughly restored that
he paid no attention to my remark
save a little grimace at me.
"If you'll get out of here," he sug
gested gruffly, "I can get dressed in
a jiffy, but as it is I am so intrigued
by your fascinating conversation
that I can't put my mind on such
common things as socks. Can you
get the car out alone, or do you want
nje to help you?"
I put my hand to my forehead in
imitation of a uniformed chauffeur's
gesture.
"I'll have it round to the entrance
for you directly, sir," I said demure
ly, then blew him a saucy-kiss and
ran down the stairs and on out to
the barn.
Dicky must have hurried at a rate
far exceeding his usual dilatoriness,
for it was but a few minutes after I
brought the car to the front gate that
he ran out and joined me.
"Gee, but this is sure great out
here!'' he said appreciatively as we
sped down the road. "If only they
had shower baths and "
"I know," I said sympathetically,
for I, too, missed that comfort of
civilization. "But never mind, it will
be only a few days now before. I can
run you down to the ocean or the
bay every morning for a dip before
breakfast'."
. "Hail the incurable optimist I"
Dicky chanted, then as we turned
into the gate and saw his mother
seated on the veranda, watching for
us with a forbidding look, he added
undr his breath:
"But you have to be just that with
mother "on the job!"
Parents' Problems
How can a girl of IS who does
clumsily any sort of handiwork, such

be helped to be more deft?
Practice will improve this girl.
Encourage her to use her hands as
much as possible.'
Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Your Memory.
You are finding it more and more
difficult to remember what you have
read?
And it worries you at times that
you find it so hard to keep certain
facts in your mind where you can get
hold of them when you wish.
Now, what can you expect if you
have not charged your mind with
anything definite and made yourself
bring it to mind at the right time
without outside aid?
When you read you just skip from
one thing to another which interest
you, making no effort to remember
any bits of useful knowledge.
You cannot expect your memory
to serve you if it never has to work.
It Is twice as hard to fight to have
a memory aucr- icmug n un co
these years, and so unnecessary if
you had practised remembering at
least one thing a day, accurately,
a nH nrovwl vnur efforts were correct.
It is discouraging work to build a
memory which has been allowed to
rest and lean on props.
Cultivate your memory and. make
yourself worth much more than you
are at present.

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions'
Is An Unmarried Woman Called a
1 Spinster?
For the first time in the annals of
archaeology, the early implements of
spinning and weaving were found in
the graves of the Alemanni, at Ober
lacht, in Suabia, during the excava
tions which took place during the
niddle of the last century. Spindle
pins were discovered among these
implements, but the distaff did not
appear, though the excavators suc
ceeded in locating the perforated
rounds of stone which were affixed
to the ends of the spindles in order
that they might revolve more rapidly.
This operation of spinning, so in
lispensable in early times, furnished
he legal language of both Germany
and England with a term to dis
tinguish its female line, fusus, and a
memento of its former importance
still remains in the appelation
"spinster." Alfred, in his will, speaks
of his male and female descendants
1... h t.rmi nf the "soear-side" and
, the "spindle-side" and German law
students still divide families into
male and female by the titles of
"sword-members" and "spindle-mem-
The term "spinster," or single
woman, in' law, is now the common
tiv whirh an unmarried woman
is designated and the connection with
the ancient and almost lost art of
spinning by hand is sufficiently close
to be apparent m tne xorm 01 me
word itself.

By H. IRVING KING,
Cure For Toothache.
In case any friend of yours has
the toothache, and you wish to cure
him without the intervention of a
dentist, take an eyelash, a hair from
the eyebrow and trimmings of the
finger nalis and toe-nails of the pa
tient, bore a hole in a," beech tree,
and put them in. Some say that
the patient should not see tne tree
and all agree that the beech should
not be cut down or burned.
This superstition, which is found
in many localities in the United
States and Canada, reads in its for
mula almost as if it had been copied
direct from the rules laid down for
the government of the Flamen Dialis,
that Roman priest who was the liv
ing embodiment of Jupiter. . It was
the sacred law that when the hair or
the nails-of the Flamen Dialis were
cut they must be deposited under a
"lucky tree." The beech is a "lucky
tree, according tc the definition of
Cato and Pliny, who say that trees
which bore fruit, were considered
lucky by the ancients and those
which did not -unlucky and the
beechnut is the fruit of the beech.
Of the mystic light in which primi
tive man regarded the hair and the
nails those living and growing parts
of man supposed re retain a portion
of the man's life and soul even after
severance much has been told in
this series.; how they were often of
fered in sacrifice and how anything
done to them after severance acted
by sympathetic magic on the man
himself.
This toochache cure, then, is but
a sacrifice to the tree-god-r-to the
beneficent spirit of the beech,' a
"lucky tree" for his interposition on
behalf of the patient. That the body
of the tree-god thus appealed to
should not be destroyed by axe or
fire goes without saying. This folk
lore medicine was practiced in the
far-off days of history's morning
twilight and in many localities today
the beech-tree-god-dentist dees a
thriving business.
