12 THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1921. SLEEPY-TIME TA L E S THE TALE OF CHIRPY CRICKET BT ARTHUR .SCOTT BAILEY XII. An Underground Chat. Chirpy Cricket was glad of one thing. Mr. Mole Cricket talked quite pleasantly, for all he looked so frightful. When he dug his way through the dirt in Farmer Green's garden and broke into the crack where Chirpy was hiding he had given Chirpy a terrible start. "If you're a cousin of mine as you say it's strange that I've never happened to meet you before," Chirpy told the newcomer. "Not at all! Not at all ! Mr. Mole Cricket said. "I spend all my time underground. I ve never been up in the open. "Don't you go out at night?" Chirpy asked him. "Never!" Mr Mofe Cricket de clared. "I've lived my whole life in the dirt. And I like it too well to leave it. Chirpy Cricket thought his cousin was the queerest person he had ever met. "How do you get anything to eat?" he inquired. Mr. Mole Cricket seemed to con sider that an odd question. "Bless you!" he exclaimed. "There's everything to eat in the ground everything that anybody could possibly want. Wherever I tunnel I find tender roots. You know Farmer Green grows fine vegetables here. Indeed that's one reason I live under his garden." "If that's one reason, what's an other?" Chirpy Cricket asked him. For Chirpy couldn't help being curi- THE GUMPS THEY CROSS MOSQUITOES WITH EAGLES A Drawn for The Bee by Sidney Smith. Copyright. 1921. Chicago Tribunt Company 12. Don't you cjo out at nihtrChlrpy ! Asked him. ous about this new-found cousin of his, who had such strange ways and who was even stranger to look upon. He was obliging enough was Mr. Mole Cricket. He was quite willing to answer any and all questions. It may be that he was glad of the chance to talk with somebody. Cer tainly it seemed to Chirpy Cricket that his cousin led a very lonely life. He explained .to Chirpy that it was easy to dig in the garden, because its "soil' was loose. The plowing in, the spring, and the harrowing, as well as the hoeing that Farmer Green's hired man did during the summer, kept the earth in fine condition for tunneling. Of rnnrc livincr hpnpnrri the surface as he did, Mr. Mole Cricket had no way of knowing why the garden soil was so nicely stirred up. He only knew that it was so. And that was quite enough for him. Chirpy Cricket said that it was all very interesting to hear about. But he knew that he shouldn't care to follow Mr. Mole Cricket's manner of living. "I love to , fiddle," he said. "I simply must go abroad every Dleasant night and make mtKic." "But you don't need to leave the dirt to fiddle I Mr. Mole Cricket ex claimed. "I'm musical too.. I often fiddle down in mv house. - I don't know a better way of passing the time, when a person's not digging or eatintr. "Won't you play for me now?" Chirpy Cricket asked him. .. Mr. Mole Cricket was. more than willine to obliec. He began to fiddle at once. And the tune he played was as strange as he was. Chirpy Cricket did not like it at all. It seemed to him very mournful, a sort of sad, sad air, as if Mr. Mole Cricket were be wailing his dismal life beneath the garden. But of course Chirpy was too po lite to tell that to his cousin. And when Mr. Mole Cricket asked him how he liked the tune, Chirpy replied that it was very, very interesting. (Copyrlfrht, Grosaet & Dunlap.)

If the boy is old enough and re sponsible enough there is no reason why he should not have a paper route in a proper district, of a small city. The necessity for regularity and accuracy in discharging the du ties of the route are excellent for the boy: the exercise in the open air is also good, while the money earned provides the boy with an al lowance gained by his own ettorts, the ideal way for feoy to come STRENTHENING THE CASE AGAINST THE RAT Our righteous rage against the rat We've voiced both often and sincerely Since Mr. Hoover told us that He eats ten million dollars, yearly. He takes it from our pantry shelves, From granaries, where wheat's in storage, The food we sadly need ourselves Supplies this wicked brute with forage I ' Yet, if confronted with his crime, And bade to tell what made him do it, He might have urged once on a time The plea that hunger drove him to it. Once on a time bear that in mind Had he made this asseveration, An injured world might be inclined To hear it in extenuation. But now the European news Leaves one legitimate deduction; His evil course the rat pursues v Because he glories in destruction. For, blind to any inward gain. Of nutritive conditions reckless, A rat that dwelt beside the Seine Purloined and ate a matched pearl necklace! If words could but exterminate This wanton bfute, we'd haste to pen 'em. He ate those pearls to prove his hate And vent his vile and vicious venom. The envious rodent cannot plead That it was hunger that provoked him; Sheer malice moved him, more than greed, And how we hope the baubles choked him! Dog Hill Paragrafs By George Bingham A big moonlight picnic was given at the home of Miss Peachie Sims Tuesday nght of this week. The moon, however, arrived on the scene too late to be of any benefit. The dog fight, which took place in the street in front of the store at Bounding Billows, proved to be one of the sporting events of the season, and held the audience spellbound.

One of the most potent of gems is the jacinth, which ancient belief as signs as today's talismanic stone. The wearer of this gem may look for a pleasant and safe journey if he travels today, and his choice of hos telrics will be a happy one. Disease will not touch him, even though he pass through the midst of an epi demic, according to an ancient leg end. Likewise, lightning may strike everywhere around him, but he will remain unharmed. The jacinth, how ever, to be effective, must be worn around the neck. In similar fashion should the Onyx today's natal gem be worn if its powers are desired to the fullest ex tent. Coolness and poise and insus ceptibility to romance will distin guish its wearer. Gravity, good sense and constancy will surround those who wear black, the color which the Orient decrees for today.

They will be especial ly fortunate for occasions where en gagements are announced or plans for the future are divulged. (Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Union Outfitting Co.

Wishing By Stars. Star light, star bright, First star I've seen tonight; Now I wish ! Repeat this while looking at the first star that catches your eye in the evening skies, make your wish and the wish will be fulfilled. This is a common superstition among children and had its genesis on the plains of Shinar, in the days when the Chaldean priests watched th courses of the stars and read from them the destiny of men and em pires. It is an offshoot of astrology, and how firm a hold astrology has taken on the superstitious inherent in mankind is evidenced by the fact that in the Middle Ages it was gen erally accepted as a true, science and by the large number of fakirs who today make a living by its alleged practice. Out of this idea of the relation of the stars to human destiny grew te idea that each man's fate was attach ed at birth to a particular star. "He was born under a lucky star," we still say. Napoleon was always talking about his "star" half metaphorical ly, half with a belief in its actuality. To the modern child astrology is but a name and he has never heard of "his star." But lurking somewhere in his nature is the inherited super stition of the ages and that primitive urge for the child's mind is the primitive mind which causes him to establish a connection between his fate and one of the astral bodies. But the child is an adventurer, an initiator, psychologies as well as otherwise. He does not conceive of himself as bound to any particvlar star; the first star he sees answers his purposes, is appropriated as read ily as the forbidden jam and its good offices demanded.
