Too Many Cousins.
In high spirits Dickie Deer Mouse
hurried on through the woods until
he came to the big beech tree. And
though many others had been there
before him, since the nuts had ripen
ed, Dickie had such a sharp eye for
a beech nut that even though it was
rit was Fatty Coon; several of
'his. cousins explained at once. "
then night, he socn found enough for
a hearty meal.
Then he had to have a romp with
a few gay fellows whom he met un
der the beech tree. And so quickly
, did the time pass that before he
knew it the night had turned gray.
Day was breaking. And shouting
goodby to his friends, Dickie Deer
Mouse ran off towards Farmer
Green's pasture. He wanted a nap.
And having nothing in his summer
heme that was worth moving, he
knew of no reason why he shouldn't
begin at once to live in his new
quarters.
He never felt happier than he did
as he scamoered in and out anions'
the trees, slipped under the rail
fence and streaked across the short
grass of the pasture. But when he
reached his doorway he stopped in
dismay. "
Where he had expected to see no
' bodv at all. his eves hnlcrd with
surprise at the crowd that had gath
ered in his dooryard.
'good looks at the company, Dickie
JJeer Mouse discovered that they
were, distant relations of his, of all
'ages and sizes. And at last he suc-
' e .
vecucu in sorting inem into iamiues.
There were three big families. And
.'no one in the whole crowd paid any
heed to Dickie Deer Mouse. They
seemed to be talking about some
thing most important, and too busy
to notice the newcomer.
it tne trutn were known, the sight
of his second and third and fourth
cousins did not particularly please
Dickie Deer Mouse. But he was an
agreeable young gentleman. So he
steppea lorwara ana called several
ei -4ifs cousins by name. And since
he couldn't say honestly that he was
delitrhted to see them, he told them
how well they looked and said that
he hoped they had passed a happy
, summer,
"Here he is at last!" everybody
cried. "We've been waiting for you
,for a long time, because we weren't
sure whether we'd found the right
. place." '
"What place?" Dickie Deer Mouse
asked them as he looked from one
,to another in dismay.
, "Why, the great house that you've
found!" somebody cried. "We've
heard it has a front hall a hundred
, times as long as Fatty Coon's tail.
; So of course there must be lots of
rooms in it; and we've come to keep
you company and spend the winter."
- When he heard that news Dickie
Deer Mouse became almost faint.
He did not want to hurt his cousins
feelings. But hi? plan of spending
the winter quietly hardly made him
welcome the idea of having a dozen
half-grown children vin his home.
; "Who told you about my house?
he demanded with just a trace of dis
appointment. J-" "It was Fatty Coon," several of
his cousins explained at once.
, And then Dickie Deer Mouse knew
that he had made a mistake when he
told Fatty of his good fortune.
, "I'm sorry to say that he has mis
led you," Dickie informed his rela
tions. "It's true that my front hall
is very long. But the trouble is,
,there's only one chamber."

': Cure for Nosebleed.
., T In many sections of the country
it is believed that wearing a red
bean strung on a string around the
neck will cure, or prevent, nose
bleed. This is a survival of primi
tive man's belief in sympathetic
magic specifically that part of it
which is classified as homeopathic,
or imitative magic and which de
pends upon the law of similarity.
The ancients worked this, magic
" both ways. When it was a case of
action in general it . was a case nf
like causes like. But "when it was
'strictly a curative process it was
.."like cures like."
;V This belief can be traced far back
.through the ages and prevails. to
;day among nearly all peoples who
are in a primitive state. The old

whose large yellow eye, we are
' assured by Plutarch and Pliny, "drew

. and the German peasants today use
red birds to "draw out" St. An
thony's fire or relieve patients flush
ed with fever.
, Anything red or yellow, is sup
posed to b beneficial in cases where
the disease manifests itself by a

then, how a red bean worn around
the neck should, according to the
ancient ': principles of sympathetic
. magic, cure or prevent nosebleed.
The relation between the primitive
man's magic and the modern man's
, science Is interesting. Frarer says
of sympathetic magic that it "as-

WORSE AND WORSE
Though bitter our lot, when the Winter blew chill,
And coal cost a fortune to buy,
We find the existence is bitterer still
Now summer illumines the sky.
For squandered on taxes and house rent and bread,
And similar follies, our cash is,.
And never a dollar we're getting ahead
For golf balls and drivers and mashies.
Unhappy we were, when a new pair of pants
Meant getting waist deep into debt,
And hocking our salary weeks in advance,
But now we're unhappier yet.
Those prices for clothing, examined today
Seem hardly a jit or a tottle,
When moisture, to dampen oblivion's clay,
Costs forty-five dollars a bottle.
It seems pretty hard that a room and a bath
Cost as much as an average cow.
It always excited our murmurous wrath,
Yet it doesn't seem anything, now.
Our troubles were tough, but they were not complete
Till we learned that the scalpers were sticking,
The public for ninety-five dollars a seat
To see a big pug get his licking.
As long as mere trifles like foodstuff and coal
Were soaring about in the sky,
We shouldered our load with a song in our soul
And never a sob or a sigh.
But life's getting harder, and we are amazed ,
To see what a hideous mess it is.
What hope does the future hold out. when they've raised
The price of the barest necessities?
