v VT RN Lok STRIPED GROUND-SQUIRRELS. “Such heautiful . stripes as all my ‘grandchildren have,” said Granddaddy Striped Ground-Squirrel. “They are all so slender and so lovely; they all wear such pretty brown sults with such bright and gay decorations. “Not only do my grandchildren make themselves look very fina and hand: some and smart, but they wear these sults so as to protect themselves from all the weasels, skunks ‘and foxes lnd coyotes, “Thesa animals would attack the Striped Ground-Squirrels if they could. But because the Striped Ground- Squirrels wear suits which make them look like brown earth with its plants, they are usually protected and safe. “Of course:I. don’t mean that you wear ‘sults of the earth. with plants growing upon them. . “No, indeed, I don't mean that! “It would not be at all beautifol for you to wear earth suits with plants sticking out all over you. But what I mean is that your suits are of the color ef the warm brown earth and your markings or decorations are of the color of plants. “In other words, when you keep quite still you might be taken for a part of the earth and not for a little animal at all. “And dear Striped Ground-Squirrels, Granddaddy Striped Ground-Squirrel wants to warn you of many things. “Though you wear such a safe and sensible costume or sult, you must be wvery careful, for you have lots of ene- mies. You must never think only of yourselves. That is pot brave. That 1s not right. “When danger is near, you must give low warning sounds to each other, and now I will teach you those warn- ing mnotes.” So Granddaddy Striped Ground- Squirrel taught the little squirrels the different warning sounds which they could make to tell each other if dan- ger were near. “You must be very careful, When there is danger you must be verystill. You must be so still that no oue will notice you move so much as an Inch or a half an inch. “You must be as still as though you had no life in you at all, Come, let us practice this.” So° Granddaddy Striped Ground- Squirrel . gave .the little Striped Ground-Squirrels’'a lesson in how to sit up on their hind. feet and stay “| ‘Don't Mean .Thag." quite, quite still until they would be certain all danger had- passed. He taught them how to make the low chirping calls: und he taught them how to whistle. “And do not take any, chances,” he sald. “Be on the safe side always, That is the best. For life is pleasant and you all want to live long, You want to eat grain and vegetables, Food 1s something to live for! “That is what the Striped Ground. Squirrels think about ft. , “Do not let your curlosity work against you. By that I mean be on the safe side even if you are curlous, It is theghabit of the Striped Ground- Squirrels to be very, very curious. “Sometimes you do not walt until danger is past, but you look about you to see what is going on, and in that way your curiosity can be of great danger to you. “Live In your nice burrow homes in the .ground. Keep a storehouse for the bad days when you don't want to go out to do any marketing. “Keep your living rooms comfort- able’ with 'dry grasses and soft rugs and cushions of grass, “Striped Ground-Squirrels =~ aren't wvery -beautiful ‘when they come lnto the ‘world. “They come along in' the springtime, about ten or twelve arrive at-the different homes and they are very lit- tle and helpless, with no hair and ‘| something" whieh' ‘will: later be dis- i I’O'OR TiYF’ OF LEGISL 8ome Reasons Assigned for the As- sertion That Lawyers Do Not Make Good Lawmakers. N lm,—:é g, uny ture, but their enormous ovar-upre- trous consequences, according - to “Great American Issues,” by John Hays Hammond apd Jeremiah Jenks. Observation of laWwmaking bodies in many countries léads to the conclusion' that lawyers make a most unsatisfac- tory type of legislators. It is.not that they lack intelligence but that ithe whole course of their professional training and _practice tends to unfit; them to play an improtant part in con- structive enterprises .of any Throughout his career a lawyer Is oc- cupled, not with the realitles of things but with fiha appearance they may be made. to bear_in. legal argument; not with the consequences which flow from an action, but with the legitl- macy of its origin. cerned with the past as a source of’ precedent, rather than with the fu- ture as a field for achievement. Pend- ing legislition is often to the lawyer J cussed and interpreted by lawyers, in- stead of an instrument designed to ef- fect a definite practical alm. It is largely due to the lawyer’s attitude to-* ward ‘legisiation and to the influence it has exerted upon theé!forin' and tex- | ture of enactments that.so thany Iaws' passed for the purpose of removing abuses in our economic and industrial system have, until recently resulted In many lawsuits :nd 1ittle ktom “QUAKERS” MERELY IN NAME Sect In Russia, of Doubtful' Origin, Has Little in Commion With the Parent Body. In consequence of the recent re-; vived interest in Quakerism on the con- tinent of Europe—250 years ago there were numerous Friendly settlements throughout Holland, Germany and the “pale” of Russla—the international service has been granted power by the London yearly meeting to accept §p- plicants for membership after V- ing reports from their rellef e, The latest to be thus received, says | the Manchester Guardian, is Countess Olga ‘Tolstoy, daughfer-in-law of Leo Tolstoy. She has long been interested in the Friends, and the recent renewal of the Quaker actlvities in Russia has | made it possible for her to ‘get 1ito direct communication with English Friends. Among some of the smaller Russlan sects there is one whose mem- bers are known as “Quakers.” They are apparently the . descendants of some {tinerant preacher of the seven- teenth century, but they seem to have no direct knowledge of their origin, r body has led to variations in doctrine and practice whlcg_ é ay have left little but the name’as’a link, Mule - Attends Church, For the last six months, says a Los: Angeles' corvéspondent, Billy Sunday, a mule, hns ended church regularly' 611 Sunda; Wednesdays. -On Sun- mornings”and WedneSday, eve. nings he departs straight for Eider Henry’s churchiin South Cnnnllutree!.

For hours a group of men will talk, and all problems fall like ducks on & i rifle range before their well-aimed epigrams. It may be a brilliant ses- sion, biit we cannot forbear thinking that not many serious thoughts are expressed ' with fervor, that few honr est emotions have adequate utterance. ‘A gathering often is devoted to anec- dotes, quips and the cracking of jokes, like the biblical thorns, under ‘the conversational pot. Of course, much conversation is nec- essarily anecdotal, but two travelers who meet in the smoker of a train il crossing our American plains do not tell anecdotes merely, says the New York Sun. There the anecdotes take jon more meat and grow .in length— they become tales. ‘Again, however learned ‘we are, we forget our pedan- try”When we “talk in a smoker.
