It THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JUNE 24. 1921. fePY-TIME TALE, S Urates fMI THE TALE OF DICKIE r r r n f tT ft- CHAPTER XI. A Search in Vain. It was true that Dickie Deer Mouse and all his relations feasted on the horns shed by the deer. But, of course, they didn't find horns in the woods every day. Only at a certain season of the year did the deer drop them. And since that time was now past, and the Deer Mouse family had scoured the woods until they found and devoured them all, it is clear that Fatty Coon had started out on a fruitless hunt. But he didn't know that, even if Dickie Deer Mouse did. And that was the reason why Dickie smiled as he watched Fatty Loon dodging about among the trees, looking for deer's horns where there couidn t possibly he anv. "It's the finest thing that could happen to Fatty," Dickie Deer Mouse thought. 'While he's hunting for horns he can t go to the corniield. And so long as he stays away from the cornfield, old dog Spot can't catch him there." And then Dickie set forth to find his friends and enjoy at romp in the moonlight. Dawn found him creeping into his house once more. And after what had happened during the night it was not strange that he should dream about Fatty Coon. It was not a pleasant dream. For some reason or other Fatty Coon seemed to be angry with him, and was shouting in a fcwfcle, deep voice, "where's Dickie l)eef Mouse?" An then Dickie awoke, ail a-shiver.

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE" TThere , ought to be enough for allT But of course he felt better at once, for ho knew that it was only a dream. And he stretched himself, and buried his head in his bed of cat-tail down, because the daylight was trickling in through his doorway. "Where's Dickie Deer Mouse?" Again that question startled him, though he was wide awake, .and couldn't be dreaming. The next instant Dickie's tree be gan to quiver. Fatty Coon was climb ing up it! And Dickie Deer Mouse jumped out of bed in a hurry and slipped out of his door. Looking down, he could see that Fatty Coon was in something quite like a rage. What's the matter?" Dickie called to him. Fatty could do nothing but glare and growl at him. "Have you had your breakfast?" Dickie asked him. Fatty shook his head. "Nol" he roared. "I haven't had a morsel to eat since I saw you last. I've been hunting for horns all this time. And I've come back to tell you that I don't like your advice. If I followed it much longer there's no doubt that I'd starve to death." t "It has kept you out of the corn field, hasn't it?" Dickie inquired. ""Yes," Fatty admitted. "But it won't much longer. I'm on my way to the cornfield now." He looked at Dickie and frowned, as if to say, "Just try to stop me." "Aren't you afraid to go there?" Dickie asked him. - Fatty Coon sniffed. "That story about old dog Spot was nothing but a trick," he declared. "It was just a trick of old Mr. Crow's. He wants all the corn him self." . "Don't you think then that you and I ought to eat all the corn we can?" Dickie inquired. "I certainly do!" Fatty Coon re plied. "Let's hurry over now and get some." Dickie Deer Mouse was only too glad to accept the invitation. And He waited politely until Fatty had reached the ground, before going down himself. Old Mr. Crow saw them the mo ment they entered the cornfield. And he hurried up to them with a most important air and advised them both that they "had come to a dangerous place." . Fatty Coon paid no attention to the old gentleman. But Dickie Deer Mouse thanked Mr. Crow and told him that after he had had all the corn he wanted he Was going back to the -woods. Noticing that the old gentleman seemed peevish about something, Dickie said to him: mere ougnt to De enougn lor all." But still Mr. Crow looked glum. "There's enough for them that don't care for much else," ke mut tered. "But we can't feed the whole world on this corn, you know . . . . How would you like it if I took to eating deer's horns when they're in season, of course?" "You can have all the deer's horns you want, ratty Loon remarked thickly for already his mouth was full. And being very polite, Dickie Deer Mouse said the same thing; though, of course he waited until he could speak distinctly. (Copyright. Orosset A DunUp.) Where It Started ! Lavender. "Sweet Lavender," has a very plebian origin. The word is -derived from, the Latin "lavo," Italian "Lav anda," meaning to wash, or washing. The dried flowers are put away with linen to perfume it; and the ancient Romans used the plant to perfume the water of their baths. tCopyrigbt, IHU .Wbttltc ByndlcKt, Ino.) FRIENDLY COUNSEL.

Though Mr. Bull, I freely own, Is qualified, onland or sea To run his little job alone, Without advice or help from me And though he'll do as he thinks best About his parliamentary classes, r I feel it's proper to suggest He do not give his statesmen passes. Time was our statesmen over here Were never made to pay a cent Although they often traveled clear Across the mighty continent. We never asked the birds for fares No matter where they chanced to go, E'en sleeping berths and Pullman chairs Were theirs, without a quid pro quo. And thus it always happened when Enroute for Butte, Des Moines or "Chi" The average private citizen A railroad ticket sought to buy No matter what our errand was Our quest was always wholly vain We had to stay at home, because The statesmen crowded every train. They broke the railroads, and besides They never stuck beneath the dome To do their lawful work, for rides Were cheaper than to stick at home. So Mr. Bull, pray take our tip If you hear any statesmen say He needs a little railroad trip, Just let him- go, but make him payl ' (Cover up the answers, read the ques tions nd see tf you can answer them.

A string of gold beads worn around the neck is regarded in this country and Canada sometimes as a cure, for sore throat, quinsy and scrofula; but generally as a preven tive of those diseases. Once uni versal, this superstition now flour khes mostly in the rural districts where it shows no sign of losing its eround. Apparently the source of the superstition is to be found in thci cult of Minerva, the Roman goddes identified with the Greek Athena. Now Athena - Minerva wore among her other ornaments, the Aegis of her father, Zeus, or Jupiter. Ancient statues of Atheha-Minerva represent her as wearing the Aegis in different forms and ways. In sev eral of the statues which have been dug up notably on one in the gal lery oT the Louvre the Aegis is nothing more than a broad collar or necklace to which is attached by way of a pendant the Gorgan's head on a medallion, falling on the god dess' bosom. The carving of the Aegis seem to represent it as of wrought metal pre sumably gold. The Greeks, we know, painted their statues and sometimes gilded parts of them. The celebrat ed statue of Athena by Phidias in the Parthenon was of ivory and gold and the Aegis on it would naturally be of metal. If the maidens who waited upon the goddess in the Parthenon approached the statue wearing a gold ornament that orna ment became sacred. It would have been natural for them to have adorned themselves in the manner of their goddess and their golden necklaces would have become there by sanctified. As to medicinal powers, the festi val of Minerva at Rome was espe cially celebrated by physicians and in one of her phases the goddess was known as Athena Mcdica Athena the physician and temples were erected to her under that name. Hence the significance of the symbol of the Aegis of Athena a necklace of gold beads. Especially do we sec this in the idea of the preventive power of the symbol, for though the Aegis degenerated into a necklace it was, undoubtedly, originally a shield something that protected.

In the Orient it is the custom to wear this stone on the in dex finger, as the result of a belief that if worn in this way it endows its wearer with the power to foresee evil and avoid it. The emerald is also the natal stone for today. To those who wear it for this reason it is said to bring suc cess in love affairs, youth that lasts, and the affection of all loved ones. It has also been adonted as the lucky stone for those, who write, since it is believed to brills' success as the result of mental work. Black is today's color, and is sym bolic of good judgment and clear ness of thought. The epony, symbolic of courage, is today's flower. , Copyright, 3921. Wheeler Syndicate, Tnc. By J. J. MUNDY.
