Perhaps the winter was longer than usual; or perhaps Dickie Deer Mouse ate too freely of his hidden itore of good things. At any rate, Dickie's hoard slowly grew smaller and smaller. And long before the day came when he bolted the last seed that remained in the hollow tcnce-rail he had begun to wonder where he should find more food. While he had been sleeping the birds that stayed in I'leasant, al ley during the wiiile1-' had been More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE To Dickie Deer House the sitfht.at first, was somewhat of a puzzJe. . feasting greedily upon the very' kind of fare that Dickie Deer Mouse needed. Jasper Jay and his noisy cronies had , taken good care that there shouldn't be a beechnut . left. And when they had eaten the last tweet nut they turned to such dried berries as still clung to the withered 6tocks on which ' they had grown. No longer' could Dickie Deer Mouse spend : so much time asleep iti his cozy chamber. Instead, be had to wander far through the woods at night, thankful to pick up a bit here and there as best he might. On those crisp, cold nights he had to scamper fast in order to keep warm. And often, when dawn came, be crept home still hungry. At last Dickie's night runs lapped well over into the day. For his search for food became more and more disappointing. And afterward he often wondered what would have liappcncd to him if he hadn't met Mr. Pine Finch early one morning. Mr. Pine Finch was an odd fel low. He had a peculiar way of talking as if he spoke through his nose. Though Uickie Deer Mouse i had seen him before, he had paid J scant attention to Mr. Pme finch. But when he caught sight of him on a certain cniny morning mcic were so few birds stirring that I Dickie stopped short and watched i Mr. Pine Finch, who was so busy in a tree-top that he didn't know any body else was near him. ' He was talking to himself. And : as nearly as Dickie Deer Mouse could tell, he was remarking through his nose that he was hav ing a pood breakfast. That news made Dickie Deer Mouse prirk tip his big ears. . A good breakfast was something that j be had not enjoyed for a long, long j time. 1 At first Dickie couldnt quite see ! what Mr. Pine Finch was about. It ' was he, beyond a doubt. There could be no more mistaking his odd voice than his plump, black-streaked back, with its splashes of yellow at the base, of his tail, and his yellow:edged wings. Dickie had a good view of Mr. Pine Finch's back, because its owner hung upside down trom . tne tips of the branches of the tree where Dickie spied him. i To Dickie Deer Mouse the sight, at first, was "somewhat of a puzzle. He stood quite still, gazing upward in wonder. And then all at once he discovered what Mr. Pine Finch was doing. Something struck Dickie Deer Mouse lightly on his back something that made him jump. He looked all around to see what had hit him. And there, on the snow beside him, lay a bud off the tree above him. Then Dickie Deer Mouse under stood what Mr. Fine finch was Romance in Origin Of Superstitions FRAGMENTS about. He was eating the buds that clung to the tips of the branches. Dickie Deer Mouse quickly ate that bud; and then he waited, watch ing ' eagerly every move that Mr. Pine Finch made. (Copyrigt, Orossct & Punlap.) I cannot sing: the old, old songs, I haven't heard 'em sung for ages The tuneful tales of maidens' wrongs And lovely birds in gilded cages. Yet in the jazz's brassy strain (Though words and music may be rotten) I catch some old familiar strain And know, though gone, they're not forgotten. Those well-known airs come back to me Reviving tender recollections; ' Both Daisy Bell and Sweet Marie I hear quite frequently in sections. From phonographs around the town. As through the highways I have drifted, Pve heard a hint of Nancy Brown A bar or two that some one's lifted. A hundred Swanee Rivers roam Through tunes composed in Nineteen-Tacnty; . I'm sure the Old Kentucky Home Is earning royalties in plenty; Because it still delights the ears Of many music-show first nighters, In fragments, borrowed by the shears Of half a dozen different writers. I'm glad the songs that filled my breast, Wh en I was young and tuneful hearted, Have not been wholly laid to rest Now that my youth has long departed. I still remember how they ran And even now I fondly love them, And listen to them all I can Though all I hear is pieces of them! Where It Started REVISED. , . " .

KING Butr.b'ec.ji? and News. All over, the United States and Canada it is a prevailing superstition that a bumblebee flying into the house is a sign of news. In some lo calities it is said that if the bee flies in in the morning the news will j he good; if in the afternoon, bad; while others say that it is a bee i which flies high on entering the the low-flying bee which brings bad. As a rule, however, any bee entering the house in flight, at any time and whether flying high or low. brings v,ood news. It is (rcittrally believed, also, that ;t is pood luck to have a bee fly into the house but bad luck to have one die there. - Among the Greeks and Romans the bee was especially sacred to Diana, and a bee appeared on the statue of Artemis at Ephesus. The Pomans identified their Diana with the. Greek Artemis and Ceres, the mother of Proserpine, which;, latter goddess 'is considered by- learned authorities to have been the same goddess as Diana. " The bee being thus connectci with' Ceres and her daughter its connection m supersti tious lore with the idea of news is apparent, for Ceres, the Greek De ircur, wandered all over the earth seeking news of her daughter, Pros erpine, and obtaining it at last from Arethusa in Sicilv. Logically the bee, her emblem, should be the seeker and 'not the harbinger, of news; but myths and the superstitions, deduced therefrom have nothing to do with logic. The bee, symbol of Ceres and Proser pine, suggests the idea of news and a harbinger of news the bee has been considered in popular supersti tion from remote ages as it is to day.

The agate is today's talismanic gem, and is of particular interest to those who are troubled with sleep It ssness. According to Cardano, I cue of our greatest authorities on the symbolisms of precious stones the agate assures its wearer of pleas ant dreams and deep, refreshing sleep. It is also believed to guard those who wear k against accident. The cat's eye is the viatal stone ot those born today, and to it is at tributed the power to protect them from harm. , From Ceylon there ionics to us the superstition that the cat's eve drives away from its wearer j all evil spirits that otherwise might I bring him misfortune. The fortunate color tor today is green, symbolic of eternal youth and everlasting hope. To wear it today brings good fortune. The pink rose is the day's sym bolic flower, and is believed to bring its wearer protection against deceit. (Copyright. 1921.
