He was anxious to know if Wanderer the Evening Gros- beak was still in the apple tree close by. He was, for, of course. he was not afraid of Bowser the Hound. “If you please,” said Peter, “has m)'l cousin, Jack Rabbit, of whom you have been telling me, any enemies out there in the West?" “I should say so!” exclaimed Wan- derer. “Do you know of any member of your family who doesn't have a lot of enemies?” Peter shook his head sadly. “No,” #aid he, “I don’t.” “Well, your Cousin Jack has just as many as you have,” said Wanderer. “And he has one or two that you don't have. Therels King Eagle for instance. I dont see King Eagle bothering you any.” “He doesn't bother me any.” replied Peter. “I have never had to dodge King Eagle in my life. However, he doesn't live very near here and I suppose that is one reason. "mfll, your, ?lflu!m Jack out on the prairie—especially over near the moun- tains—has to keep an eve out for King Eagle all the time. With all his speed, King Eagle can move faster.

There must be some subconscious cause, I suppose. If others have similar habits they, too, might be interested.” The practice described is fairly com- mon. Hence we may assume a general interest.in the problem. , Habits agcount for these facts as ‘well as many other peculiarities of eon- duct. In learning the common multipli- cation table, a friend formed the habit of multiplying 7 times nwnmuthnuvneza-nuz times 28 are 56 instead of saying that | 7 times 8 are 56. The rest of the table from here on he learned in the same way because it was easier for him at the time. The important point -is that he has never overcome this habit despite the fact that he has studied higher mathematics, algebra, plane and solid geometry. In all probability he will con- tinue this practice to the end of his | call your experience in trying to play | the piano. If you happen to make a | mistake in any place the first time you | says ‘that he| | moment or two I would see the last |of Jack. But at just the right minute | Jack dodged.” | Peter nodded his head approvingly. | “That’s my trick,” said he. “It's a good trick.” “King Eagle wheeled almost as quickly | as Jack dodged and was after him again. That thing happened two or three times” continued Wanderer. “Each time King Eagle swooped I expected to |see him fly away with that long-eared, long-legged cousin of yours gripped in his great claws. But each time I was happily disappointed. Then Jack reached the bushes and dodged under | one of them and there he squatted.” | _“What did King Eagle do?” asked | Peter cagerly. | “Screamed with disapnointment and | flew away,” replied Wanderer. “He knew | better than to try to get Jack under | these bushes. Jack will do that every time if there are any bushes near. But | he doesn't try it with Old Man Cayote. | He just trusis to those long legs of his | when Old Man Coyote gets after him. | However, Old Man Coyote doesn't waste | his breath very often in trying to run | down Jack Rabbit. It is a lot easier to | hunt members of Yap Yap's family.” | Peter pricked up his ears, “Who is | Yap Yap?" said he. ! (Copsright. 1929.) WHAT WE DO K. THOMSON. At the time of first learning to write, i my correspondent simply did not form | the proper habits of writing. And a rong start is a serious handicap. The same principle is involved in the mastery of all skilled acts. For example, re- | 80 over the music you are likely to re- | peat that mistake. | _The common reason for, poor penman- | ship, and especally for making an a |look” like an o or an i like an e and vice versa is poor spelling. When in | doubt’ we deliberately make the a look | |like an o as well as an a and the ! same with the 1 and the e, We are not conscious of the letters. | We are thinking of the ideas. The let- | | ters and words form themselves. Hence { if we have not the proper mechanical | habits of forming the letters and spell- ing the words correctly we continue | {to do them incorrectly according to ! habits despite our conscious effort to| correct the bad habits.

There are some men in business of- flces who never have more than car- fare and lunch money. They explain apologetically their wives “run things” and take care of their pocket money. Men. <o managed are handicapped from the start. Imagine an executive intrusting a Tesponsible job to a man whose own ¥ife can not trust him with more than lunch money and carfare. Such a man also loses the respect of his fellow workers, and is pointed out pityingly et ontemptuously as the “hen-pecked ave,” Wives who have dominated their | the shadow of a great rock in a weary husbands’ lives in this respect frequent- | land."—Is, xxxii.2. ly demand imperiously, what would he do with more money? matter what he will do. it does matter that he will be in a position to do sev- eral things. It also matters that he be recognized as a man fully able to carry out his responsibilities. Every office knows the poor craven soul who spent a bit more on lunch than he calculated, and o has to bor- Tow his carfare to get home. It is dif- ficult to believe that such a man can retain his self-respect It is not comical either to visualize the father at home standing in line with his children and pleading with the domestic tyrant for tobacco money, or money for the moving picture show.
