for Defense.
A frail girl of 20, modUhly dressed
hair bobbed, took the w itness stand
in county court Thursday to fight
for enough money to support her
month-old son, whom she held in her
arms.
She was MUs Helen Tonilinson
Directly in front of her sat Pau
Musser, pitcher for the Wichita
Western league base ball team, the
man she claims is the father of her
child.
Miss Tonilinson said she had
worked for the Western Union com
-y t - a
pany in ues aioincs. sue was in
charge of the office at the Hotel
Fort Dcs Moines for a time. While
there she met Musser, she said.
"When did you meet Musser?"
was the next question asked by
I rank reterson, Musser s attorney.
Met in Des Moines.
The girl leaned forward, her lips
parted, then fell back in the chair,
inert. Her mother, Mrs. Mary
Tonvlinson, rushed to her, removed
her hat and stroked her brow. A
glass of water revived her.
"I I met him in March or April
of ly.'l," she said.
Miss Tonilinson said she left Des
Moines July 1, coming to Omaha.
Her child was born the next day in
an Omaha hospital, she said.
She told of bringing suit for
breach of promise against Musser
and of a settlement in the offices of
her attorney.
"I didn't remember any of the de
tails." she said. "My mind was a
blank. I guess they gave me $600."
JUiss lomhnson swooned again
during the cross-examination.
County Judge Crawford held that
hers was the only testimony that
cculd be heard. He bound Musser
over to the district court for trial
on a $500 bond, which Musser furnished.-

THE TALE OF

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Luckiest of All.
Grunty Pig found that being the
smallest of the family wasn't all fun.
Not only could his brothers and sis
ters crowd him at the feeding trough.
Even when they were playing in the

pen tliey oitcn knocked him down
and walked right over him. And if
he objected as he usually did they
were sure to laugh and call him
"Runt."
Try as she would, Mrs. Pig
couldn't rid her children of these
boorish ways. But she shouldn't
be blamed for that. It must be re
membered that she had seven young
sters, all of the same age.
At least, Mrs. Pig did what she
could to make Grunty's lot easier.
'Don t feel unhappy 1 she said to
him one day as he picked himself up,
whimpering, after a hard knock.
Don t feel unhappy because you arc
the littlest of the family. In one
way you are the luckiest of all my
children."
Grunty Pig didn t stop weeping.
He saw no reason yet to feel more
cheerful.
Did you know his mother
asked him "did you know that in
one respect you are the handsomest
one of the whole litter? You have
the curliest tail of them all I"
Grunty Pig gazed, open-mouthed,
at his mother. He stopped snivel
ling. Up to that time he had scarcely
given his tail a thought. So long
as it followed him wherever he went
he had been satisfied with it.
From that moment Grunty began
to think a great deal about his tail
He was always turnintr his head to
look at it, to make sure it hadn't lost
any of its kink. Now and then he
was even lafe for a meal, because he
was feasting his eyes on his tail when
Farmer Green came to the pen with
food tor Mrs. Pigs family.
It must be confessed that Grunty
sometimes boasted before his
brothers and sisters about his beau
tiful curly tail. And just before
meal time his brother Blackie was
known, upon occasion, to mention
the subject of tails. He did that
in the hope that Grunty would be
late at the feeding trough.
. Sad to say, Grunty Pig was fast
becoming vain. He even talked
about tails with the neighbors, tak
ing pains to explain that his own
Was the handsomest one on the
farm.
Old Dog Spot sniffed when
Grunty boasted about his tail one
day. "Why, your tail is of no use
whatsoever," Spot told him. "You
can't use it to switch a fly off your
back. The Muley Cow can do that.
And so can the old horse, Ebenezer."
"Ah I But my tail is so pretty to
look at!" Grunty exclaimed.
"You can't puff it up to show
you're angry, as Miss Kitty Cat
does," said Spot.
"Ah I But my tail has a beautiful
curl!" said Grunty Pig.
"You can't wag it, to let folks
know you're friendly, as I can," said
Spot.
"Ah I But my tail is so handsome!"
Grunty Pig exclaimed..

Yarrow.
In many parts of this country and
Canada the yarrow is used by
oung persons for purposes of love
lvination. I he custom varies in
different localities but nearly all are
accompanied by a rhyming incanta
tion. One way is to pick a sprmg
f yarrow, put the stem up to the
nose and say:
arrow, yarrow, if he loves me aSj
I loves he
A drop of blood I'd wish to see.
If blood appears .the diviner is
loved otherwise not.
Another way is to place a sprig of
arrow under your pillow when, if
your love is returned, trie one you
love will appear in your dreams. In
England they say that in order to
make this charm work the yarrow
must be gathered, in the case of a
maiden, from a young man's grave.
In folk-medicine yarrow is recom
mended for the ague, and it really
does possess slight tonic and as-y
tringent qualities.
Just why the yarrow should ,. te
supposed to have power in matters
of love divination is not very clear,
but such power has been ascribed
to it from the earliest times and is
an Outgrowth of northern mythol
ogy. The "young man's grave" in
the English version of the yarrow
superstition, the fact that in the
older forms the yarrow plucked
must be the first, one found in the
spring and that in many of the
formulas the idea of blood appears,
makes it highly probable that the
plant was in some way connected
with Balder the Beautiful, the young
Norse god who was slain by the
blind god Hodur. Several points in
Professor Frazer's work on the Bal
der myth tend to confirm this sup
position. (Copyright, 1821, by the McCIure News

Your Education.
There are always some persons
who think they can get to the top
without a bona fide education along
the line of endeavor they want to
pursue.
When they find the way blocked
without this sufficient preparation
they raise a hue and cry about some
one trying to keep them back.
As a matter of fact, none can keep
you back if you are thoroughly pre
pared for progress, but your own
attitude may be responsible.
If you have done slip-shod work
or if you have learned perfectly only
such things as you have- thought
would be required of you on the
road to the top,' you have probably
spent more time-; trying to avoid
work than it would have taken to
have begun with the idea . of doing
things right. -
Let vour attitude be to learn the
foundation, shorn of non-essentials,
so thoroughly well that you cannot
forget.
When you actually are so sure of
your knowledge that you know
what you know, you are in shape to
find out what you do not know and
get it.
And when you learn a rule do
you apply it all along the line or
do you think its application is iso
lated to the particular incident or
problem where it came to your no
tice. Apply your rules, but first know
them.

WHY-
Does
Ob-
Lightning Strike Some
jects and Not Others?
While the pranks of lightning ap
pear to be little more than the va
garies of a storm, governed by no
definite rules and subject to no nat
ural boundaries, examination of
lightning and its effects shows that
it follows the same line of conduct
as does all other electricity select
ing the line of least resistance in
attempting to attain its object, which
is to pass down into the body of the
earth.
It is for this reason that a lightning-rod,
made of metal and an ex
cellent conductor of electricity, will
prevent lightning from striking a
house which is made of brick or
wood and is therefore not so good
a conductor. Trees, projecting a
considerable distance above the earth
are struck when the' ground about
them will be uninjured, simply be
cause the tree assists the lightning
to attain its end. Of course, if there
are metal objects nearby, the light
ning strikes these in preference to
the wooden or stone projections on
account of the relative conductivity
of the different substances, but, in
general, lightning is likely to hit any
thing which stands a good distance
above the surface of the earth and
which offers a possible path toward
the ground. In other words, light
ning is essentially lazy and anything
that will help it in its journey is
instantly made use of.

Parents' Problems
What course should be followed in
the case of a little girl cf 10, who
likes to be read to, but does not like
to read to herself partly because
she does not yet read well enough
to make out all the words?
It is natural that this little girl
should not enjoy reading to herself
since she is really not able to do it
well enough for It to be anything
but a lesson in learning to read. Be
sure that she has such lessons but
read to heriyourself, as much as pos-sib!e--and
be glad that she enjoys it.
A child who likes being read to will
like reading to herself when she is
able.
THE QUESTIONNAIRE
At night, when he discovers me
Half dozing in my chair,
I sometimes take upon my knee
The family questionnaire.
And while the back-log snaps and sings
Amid the embers' glow
He asks of me a milhon things
That I shall never know.
"Why is it kittens never bark?
What makes a bossy moo?
Do ghosts all sleep till after dark?
Why aren't ALL flowers blue?
Why don't the cows have horns like deers?
What's up beyond the sky?
Why don't folks live a million year-'
Do angels ever die?
"Could bears lick lions, do you 'spose?
Do crows know how to sing?
Where is the wind before it blows?
Why is it flies don't sting?
Was it your hat wore off your hair?
What makes the ears on corn?
Are turtles, frogs or fishes? Where
Was I when you were born?"
It's hard for him to understand
Why I, who've lived so long,
Can seldom answer him at all
And sometimes answer wrong.
Yet I am sure he little dreams
How witless I can be,
Dolt that I am, he never seems
To lose his faith in me!

The word "stranger" is curious in
that it comes from a single letter,
"e." "E" is Latin for "away from."
It was sometimes written "ex" for

came the' Latin "extra;" this went
into French, with "s" substituted for
"x," becoming "estranger.".. English
