Hunting.
To pirate oM dog Spot Johnnie

an
Johnnit Oria mined the biri
question; "Want to go hunting,
bpot?-.
Whcii he heard that, Spot would
leave anything he happened to be
doing, or give up anything he had in
tended to do. Perhaps he had ex
pected to dig up and gnaw a choice
, bone that he had buried somewhere.
It might be that he h?d been plan
ning to chase the cat, or tease .Tur
key Protidfoot in ordc to hear him
gobble. There wasn't one of those
pleasures that Spot wouldn't gladly
forego for the sake of going hunting
with Johnnie Green.
When Johnnie Green's father first
nave him a shotgun Spot went al
most frantic with delight. And'
they lost no time in starting for the
voods. Johnnie Green trudged up
the lane with - the gun. on his
shoulder, while Spot ran on ahead
oi mm, returning now ana tnen as
if to urge Johnnie to hurry,,
They hadn't been long in the
woods when Spot suddenly stood
still and pointed ahead of him with
his nose. '
Try as he would, Johnnie couldn't
see what Spot was pointing at. So
he took a few steps forward until
he came abreast of the old dog.
Then all at once there was a rum-
bline whir that sounded to Johnnie
Green almost as . loud as thunder.

ground just ahead of him. '
. He knew that it . was a grouse
rising. And he fired. Johnnie Green
missed the bird. It had given him
aubii u omti iiiav 1 1 v. w a a sun aiiaitmg
long afterward. He was disappoint
ed,, but not less downcast than Old
Spot. . , -
"Never mind, old boy," Johnnie
said. "We'll have better luck next
time."
But they didn't Twice more that
same th:ng haopened. '' And after the
third miss old dog Spot turned tail
and ran away.

More Truth Than Poetry
-By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A CONFESSION
I do not think that I should wish to be lucent jellyfish,
Whose graceful curves one oft observes
Upon the rocking billows; ,; V
I do not think that I should care to have to spend my days out there
To make my home amid the fpam '
And use the waves for pillows.
. Although perhaps you think it odd, I never craved to be a cod,
To eat and sleep within the deep , '
For me has small attraction. . t '
I do not think I could abide the thought of being caught and dried,
And being boiled or even broiled
Would bring no satisfaction. " . .
I do not even think that I would like to be an octopi
(The number's wrong, but in a song
One need not care for grammar).
For me there'd not be any charms in having six or "seven arms,
And being chewed by whales for food
..Seems quite devoid of glamour.
' , A poet ought to wish,' I wot, to be some creature he i not.
To make a rhyme profound, sublime,
It must express desire. '
And as I'm pretty well content to stay right here where I was tent,
Until I die I guess that I
. Am just a versifier. ,
HARD LUCK "
Crooked ball players couldn't get -back into the game, and both the
burgling and pickpocket professions are already overcrowded.
A WAVE OF REMORSE
The world is getting better. A, billion grasshoppers, after ravaging
Canada, became conscience stricken and drowned themselves in the St.
Lawrence. .
" BUT THEY WON'T
It is to be hoped that the Washington hotel keepers will temper their
charges to the representatives of debt-burdened Europe.

with that boy," he muttered. '"I've
pointed three birds for him. And
he has let every one of them get
away. There's no futt in' that kind
of shooting.? , '';'
After that Johnnie , couldn't get
Spot to go into the woods with him.
Whenever Johnnie appeared in the
yard with his gun Spot promptly
vanished. . ;
So Johnnie spent a good deal of
time shooting at old tin cans which
he set on a fence post or a stone
wall. And it wasn't long before he
found' he could hit 'them'- at every
shot. . ., ' .
At last he came home from the
woods one day with a grouse. When
he showed it to Spot the, old. dog
actually began, teasing 'him to go
hunting. v"
The next day they set out;-together
for the woods. And Johnnie
knocked down the very first grouse
that Spot found for him ..,'
Spot brought the bird to Johnnie,
and laid it proudly at his feet. "Did
Johnnie . Green ever give you any.
of the birds that you find for him?"
Miss Kitty Cat inquired when Spot
was boasting a bit about the sport
he' and Johnnie had in the woods.
"No," she said, answering her
own question. "You're silly to hunt
for him. I prefer to do my hunt
ing alone. Then nobody can take
the game away from me.'
Old dog Spot walked away from
her, to the barn. '
"Miss Kitty Cat doesn't know
what real hunting is," he told the
old horse Ebenezer. "She creeps
up on small birds after dark, when
they are asleep."
.'.'And' you creep up on big birds
iu the daytime," said old Ebenezer.
"so Johnnie Green can shoot them."
Being a ' sporting dog, Spot
couldn't see anything queer in that
remark.- '-' .
"Certainly!" he said. '

Jack and Jill
JjkCK positively glared at Jill's
new frock,
"(josh, that's an aful dowdy
looking thing." ha said Anally.
"Dowdy-looking V repeated Jill
"Well, 1 mu.t siy I like that. Why.
you foolish man, this is one of the
newest things."
"Too old-looking for you." ,
It's quit the style in"
"Quite the style in some country
town" finihed Jack. "Why don t
you wear something smart-looking
like Mrs. ritcher?"
Jill stared. '
"Mra. I'iuherT she gasped. "Do
you want nil too look like Mrs.
ritcher?"
"No. I don't want you to look
like Mrs. Pitcher. 1 want you to
look like yourself, but you might
take a few hints from Mrs. Pitcher,
at that. She's certainly the smartest-looking
woman in this neighbor
hood. She's"
"I thought you said she was ah,
sort of fast." said Jill qyictly.
"Never said any such thing. You're
dreaming."
"She plays cards for money"
"Oh, shucks, just friendly games
of bridge at quarter of a cent point."
"But, Jsck," she t stlaimed, "that's
gambling."
He laughed. He heard the whis
tle of the i.li and made a da.li lor
the station.
That night he striurj crotf and
tired when he slammed his way in
and made his way to the bathroom
fur his scrubbing. up.
And they had buttered parsnips
for dinner, which was a blunder of
the new maid's.
When the coffee was brought on,
Jill fumbled with something in her
Up.
"Say, sis. what's the matter with
your lips?" Jack frowned as he
looked acrot at her more Intently,
"Nothing just a little of the new
French carmine," said Jill easily.
"Looks awful," said Jack.
"Dear Mrs. Pitcher told me of it
today and I hurried right over to
the scent shop to get some," said
Jill carelesly. "Yon see I happened
to go in town with dear Mrs.
Pitcher today."
Jack dropped another lump f
sugar in his coffee and stirred noisi
ly. Jill drew' a long amber cigaret
holder from its hiding place in her
lap, nonchalantly fitted a Russian
cigaret into it, and lighted it from
under the alcohol burner under the
corfee urn.
"Jill!" rscUimed her husband
aghast,
She blew an elaborate puff of
thick white smoke upward.
"Welir '
"Take that awful cigaret out of
your mouth this instant," he com
manded angrily. ,
"Dear tire, what a fuss over noth
ing." said Jill calmly, although she
did lay the offensive cigaret on the
copper tray of the urn.
"Are you going craiy?"
"Well not that 1 know of."
"How long have you been smok
ing?" "Oh, I'm a beginner," said Jill,
brightly. "Dear. Mrs. ritcher told
me where to get"
"Oh, dash take Mrs. Pitcher,"
criew Jack, and he rot abruptly
and stamped off down the basement
stairs. ,
Parents' Problems
How can a girl of 16 best be led
to make a companion of her sister
of Mi .
At 16 both the maternal instinct
and the impulse to, leadership are
strongly developed.' The obvious
way then to answer this question is
to make an appeal to these qualities.
When Alness. or. death thrusts thit
responsibility upon the older sister,
she responds nobly. Why not give
her the opportunity when family
condition are uormal? Naturally
the best results will be obtained
where mutual love and forbearance
have been strong , features of the
family lile.
Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols (or Today
The onyx ia today's taliimanic
gem. If it is worn around the neck
it will cool anger, hot-headedness
and untamed impulse, according to
a legend of India. It it not a lucky
stone for a gilt from husband to
wife, sine it If believed to provok;
discord and misunderstanding.
Fortunate, indeed, are they who
possess their natal stone, the ruby.
Worn as an amulet, it will parted
them from real or imaglnaiy t-ou-blea.
Drown is the color which ancient
legend assigns to this date. It is be
lieved to be in harmony with the
invsiic forces which govern today,
and its observance leads to sober,
steadfast accomplishrient.
Sweet aylssum Is the special flow
er belonging to this day.
