You will be able to do all you want to of both. Farmer Brown's Boy did his early morning work and then went into Our Children—By The Followers. We all love the leader. His power thrills us, the light in his eye draws us to him, we bask in the warmth of his smile. We are proud to have a word with him and to shake his hand is to achieve near greatness. For him we bring out the brass band and the drum and the banners. For him we hire a hall and make speeches and eat more than is good for us. Great is the leader. But we overlook or take for grant- ed the chap who makes goad what the leader orders e fixed on the lips of his hero, he drinks in every word and then sets to work out the dream. It is he who write: the letters, checks up the answers goes after the contribution from the skinflint, hires the halls, buys the railroad tickets, meets the train, gets out the voters smooths the hard places and unties the knots. He avoids fights of all descriptions That is instigetive with him. It wastes time and energy, it makes bad friends. it doesn’t et you any- where. He back =ilently while the committee talks itself out and then has the last word. the word that oils the machinery he has all ready set up and waiting, the word that comes with the pow of authority because it is backed with intelli- gence and fired with the spirit of the real doer. You see these people everywhere there is something to be done. They are the secretaries and the managers and the treasurers and the chairmen of the groups. When it rains the evening of the meeting the other MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, it Improvised Cups. One mother says: Several times it has happened that my children have become thirsty when there was water to be had, but it would have been necessary to use a public drinking cup, or there was no sort of cup at all. A number of envelopes are, therefore, always car- ried in the flap of my purse to get around this difficulty, as they may be opened out into quite serviceable cups (Copyright, 1924.) . | and bronze- comfortavia | you | to carry cake and hav- | | NEW THIN BRACEL WEARING IN NECKLACES AND TS AND N THEM. collar.

Then he lifted the box trap and held it over the barrel and opened the door. a way that whoever was in the trap would have to drop out of it into the barrel. Farmer Brown stood close at hand When the trap was opened Farmer Brown’s Boy and Farmer Brown had Boy brought and stood it it down into the barrel. That glimpse was all they waited for. Farmer Brown’s Boy dropped the trap with a 1 and jumped ackward, tripped ove box and landed on the barn floor flat on his back You should have seen him roll over, scramble to his feet and run for the barn door. Farmer Brown had jumped back with equal suddenness, and had kept right on backing until he was at what | he thought a safe distance from that | barrel. Both had caught a glimpse | of something black and white sliding | out of that trap into the barrel, and both had known that it wasn't Une' Billy Possum. Both had known in an instant that it was Jimmy Skunk in- stead of Unc’ Billy Possum who had been caught in that trap' And nei- ther cared to be within range of Jim- my's littls scent gun.

Nothing much but what Bob can attend to. You see if it were really important like moving a set of reso- lutions to the convention of hat makers, Bob couldn't do it. That would require the greater intellect of the members of the committee. But paying the rent for the hall, laying in the coal. getting the car- penter to mend the roof and taking the check round to Miller who must get his sick benefit—well, Bob can do_those things by himself.

The fact that the lad doesn't care to.punch folk, that he has no taste for that any more than for pickled limes, let us say, does not matter. He's labeled. The chap that doesn’t go out for the team. the girl that doesn't care about the class presidency, the child will- ing to follow a good lead rather than create it, is practically ignored if not worse. Yet what would become of us if there were no such people coming along to carry out the visions of | the leaders? Wouldn't it be a good scheme then, once in a while, to praise useful men and women—and children? (Copyright, 1924,) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Two Bits.” Ilvery so often we come across the term “two bits” We know it means 4 quarter, or 25 cents. But that is all. The expression is a survival of the { days of 49 in California, the refer- ence being to the old Spanish coin, the “real,”” worth 12% cents, which circulated there and passed for Amer- ican money, as Canadian coins pass now in border sections of our country. In the vernacular of the gold country, the real was called a “bit,” and “two bits,” of course, was a quarter. There is romance in the legend that a dime was known as a “short bit” and 15 cents as a “long bit.” If a cus- tomer asked for a bit’s worth of to- bacco and gave the man a quarter, he would be given a dime in change. If he had a dime, the “short bit” was acceptable. Robert Louis Stevenson told of beating the bit game by taking all his quarters to the post office and ex- changing them for 5 cents’ worth of stamps and two short bits. These went as far as two bits and netted him a nickel on each transaction!

What TodayMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Libra. Today's planetar lent until late thereafter they aspects are ex- n the afternoon; hecome distinetly ad verse. During the early part of the day it is perfectly safe to launch any new enterprise or affect any material change, as the signs indicate success, especially in efforts involving inance or manufacturing. In the evening it is essential to seek repose, as the trend is toward irritation and annoy- ance. Do not allow trifles to worry you or upset your equilibrium. A child born today will have an uneventful infanecy, and will, under normal conditions, develop mentally and physically just the same as other children. Its character will be stub- born: its disposition gruff rather than amiable; its mentality more profound than superficial. This child will, owing to an absence of tractability, present many difficulties, and if per- suasion should fail. resort must be had to more forceful discipline, in or- der that its stubbornness may be converted into resolution and its gruffness into courtesy and consider- ation for others. Tt is more likely to succeed in a profession than in a commercial career. If today is vour birthday, vour many good points are fully appre- ciated by vour friends and acquaint- ances, but behind vour back they all make fun of vour very apparent vanity. You have. by vour alertness and quick mental processes, accomplished some few successes, both social and commercial. These are recognized by those around you; but vou, by your continued boasting of these achievements, detract from the credit due you. Good, successful work, social suc- cesses and smart conwversation pos- sess merits that are patent to one and all, but they lose much of their glory if attention is being drawn, in | season and out of season, by the chief actor to the brilliancy of the performance. Self-praise is no recommendation, and there is very little glory in al- ways seeking the spotlight. 1If you fairly deserve it, others will see that you are placed within its rays. Nature may have been in a prodigal mood when vou were elected to be- come a resident of this little earth of ours; you should for this be grate- ful, but not boastful. It is not your fault that you are physically supe- rior to your fellows. You, by your own efforts, cannot add an inch to your stature. Why, then, not be grateful for and not vain of some- thing for which you are in no way responsible. Well known persons born on this date are: James Lawrence, naval officer; Rufus Choate, lawyer; Kate Field; James Lewls, comedian; Annie Besant, theosophist; J. C. S. Black- burn, former United States Senator. (Copyright, 1924.) i i Curried Kidneys. SKin four pork or sheep's kidneys and wash, wipe and slice them.

Tells Why Men Don't AMarry YOUNG woman writes me that, 50 far as she can figure it out from the ¢8nsus report. there have been as many boy babies born in the last quarter century us there have been girl babies, and inasmuch as she can learn of no especial mortality among male infants, it seems to her that there should be & husband for cvery girl. She finds, however, that this is not the case. The husband supply is far from being equal to the demand, and she wants to know why this is thus. and If there is any special region where there are large numbers of eligible men anxious to take unto themselves wives. Alas, no! 1 know of no such feminine paradise. Every place is fast becoming un Adamless Kden. so far as matrimony is concerned, and to try to find some particular spot where there is a large available supply of domestic timber is as fruitless a quest as to hunt for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The trouble is not that there are fewer men than there used to be There are plenty of husbunds to go around if they were properly rationed out, but the difficuity is in doing this, for, after all, you cannot conseript a man into matrimony. ‘There are Many ressons why men are loath to marry in these parlous times. The principal one is, of course, the high cost of living. It takes so much to support a family that the average young man can no more afford to set up a wife than he can a yacht, so he has to forego the luxury, no matter how much he would like to indulge himself in it. Only men who have inherited money. or the poor man who is foolhardy. dare risk marriage when they are young and romantic, and by the time & man gets to making enough money to feel that he can prudently undertake the great adventure he lost all heart for it. His wells of sentiment have dried up. His illusions have been torn to tatters. He has learned to listen to the voice of caution instead of that of impulse, and it whispers to him that it is better to endure the ills you have than to fiv L@ Those you know not of OTHER reason wWhy men do not marry social intercourse between the sexes. Men who work side Ly side with women every day. and who play about with them outside of working hours, get all of the feminine company they need without the necessity of ussu fng a wife's bills or having to Stand for her temper and temperament. The boom days of matrimony were those in which a man had to buy a woman's compunionship with a wedding ring. Another reason men do not marry is because have ull, men and women alike, grown more zelfish. We call it by high-sounding phrases— developing our own individuality—the right to live our own lives untram- meled—but what it really means is that we love ourselves so much better than we are capable of loving anybody else that we are not willing to make the sacrifices demanded b, is because of the freedom of we A man knows that the income that enables him to live juxuriously when it is all =pent on himself would be genteel pauperism if split up with a family He knows that the doors of rich hoste. s that are open to a good- looking, agreeable buchelor are shut in the face of the man who drags a shabby wife around with him. He knows that the single man can take many chances in pursuit of fortune that the man who has a wife and chil- dren is afraid to take. He knows it is mighty comfortuble to be able to come home with no curtain lecture waiting for him, and so he passes up a wife for a latchkey and luxuries Another ason men do not mar, is because so few girls know how to cook and are willing to do it The best bait that any woman ever uses on a hook when she goes fishing for a husband is the kind of pie that mother used to make.

One of these, in Staffordshire. today is spelled Rugely. It is not a large town, but like so many of the smaller English communities, is of great antiquity.
