So you had | better not come over here any more. | Now Impy and little Mrs. Impy hadn't |been out in the Great World long | enougls to know just what their rights | were; but they felt sure that Chatterer | was claiming a great deal more than he | had any. business to. “I don't belleve you,” said Impy. “I. don't believe you have any right to all those nuts.” Chatterer bounced to his feet and started down the tree trunk head first. “You get out of here, both of you!” he cried. “And do it in a hurry! I'll show you who owns these nuts!” Now this was all so sudden and un- suspected, and Chatterer looked so really fierce, that before they realized what they were doing, Impy and Mrs. Impy were running away. Yes, sir, they were running away as fast as their little legs could take them. Chatterer fol- lowed them only a short distance, but all the time h: was snarling and mak- ing dreadful threats. When he saw that the two young Chipmunks really were theroughly frightened he turned back, and when he once more climbed the tree he was grinning. His interference had worked better than he had hoped. | As for Impy and Mrs. Impy, they had | nothing to say until they reached home. | But, if they said nothing, they were do- ing a lot of thinking. They sat down beside their doorway and looked at each other. “My dear,” said Impy at last, “I don’t beileve a word of what that fellow said. He may think he has scared us, but when the time comes we'll show him. I believe those nuts belong to who- ever can get them. We'll fight for them if we have to. When the time comes we'll get our share. He might whip one o; us, but he certainly can’t whip both of us.” BY THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright, 1930.) Last Days of Great Statesmen Cicero Opposed Mark Ant ony, Knowing He'd Likely Pay With Life. BY J. P. GLASS. “NAY,” SAID CICERO, “MAKE NO RESISTANCE FOR MY SAKE, I PRAY YOU. IT 18 Cicero made his last fight for the republic, knowing that failure meant death. He had praised the assassina- tion of Caesar because it had ended the reign of a dictator. But the domina- tion of Caesar was merely exchanged for the domination of Mark Antony. Resolved that he would combat the lat- ter uulerly. he accepted the risks of the struggle. “In the end,” said Atticus, “you will have to submit.” “Not I, indeed,” replied Cicero. “I know a better way than thap.” He was thinking that his life could eome to an end. He. joined forces with Octavian, son of Caesar, because that young man seemed to offer a means of destroying Antony. For a time he was triumphant and the government was in his hands. But Octavian, having marched his army into Rome and had himself elected con- sul, soon unmasked the plans which he had been forwarding secretly. He and Antony were not enemies; they were allies. With Lepidus they met in Octo- h&:&h C. and agreed on a bloody P n. Some loyalty to Cicero still remained in Octavian. For two days he pleaded for the life of the great orator and statesman. But on the third day he END.” surrendered his friend to the animos- ity of his colleagues. Cicero was at his villa at Tusculum when he received word that he had been proscribed. Urged by his friends, he put out to sea in an attempt to escape, but, soon chan his mind and landed again, this time at Caiota. “Let me die,” he said, “in the coun- try which I have so often saved.” His attendants could not bear to see him killed. The next day they suc- ceeded in persuading him to quit a villa in which he had taken refuge and make another venture upon the sea. He set out in a litter. Assassins sent by Mark -Antony overtook him on the way. His faithful slaves entreated to be allowed to defend him. “Nay,” sald Cicero, “make no resist- "‘3' for my sake, I pray you. It is the He commanded that they put the lit- ter upon the ground. Sitting quietly, with his chin resting in his cupped left hand, an attitude characteristic of him, he awaited the action of his murderers. Perhaps he was thinking of the day, not long past, when Caesar had perished. His head and the hand which had written the great Second Philippic were cut off and carried to Rome, where they were hung in the Forum. OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI Overworking the Child. School activities are increasing. So- | eial Lfe among the children is becoming | more and more complicated and excit- | ing. Children, always eager to sample life, are greedy for all and everything that promises them life and action. But enm:fl is enough and we must be care- ful that no child overdoes study, play, ‘work. It is a great tempetation to belong to everything. It's grand to be a Scout or a Camp Fire Girl. It's great to belong to the hikers and the camera hunters. Everybody goes to dancing school. The ‘whole class is going to take part in the pageant. Sunday school is going to be very interesting lhhuyenr when the pro- Ject for the new building is under way. Fencing is delightful is wonderful. adorable. and horseback Color lessons ‘are | Athletic contests are not to| . be passed up for anything. And all the | i time school sits in the background de- | manding its study, recitation, applica- | :1:11, play, test marks, records, promo- | ns. It is clear that no child can do every- thing that is offered. All children wish to do just that. There must be some grownup person who supervises the term program, the monthly plan, the daily schedul of the term rush and do not permit the child to fill every day and every hour. Scale him down to the bare limit so there will be time to spare for some later offering, 80 there will be time for leisure, time for adjustment, time out. It is difficult for a parent to say no and stick to it. One must be careful to hold the no in reserve so that when it 15 used it has meaning and weight. Go carefully over the field and select the activities that rroperly belong to the child's stage of development. If the activity is one he can just as well do two years later and so make place for one whose place is rapidly fading out of the scene, make the decision accord- ingly. Children are inexperienced and ‘would choose aviation instead of pony- riding if permitted to do so. It is not a bad idea to teach a child in the early years, the truth of the adage, “You can't eat your cake and have it.” A child wants to stand well in school subjects, wants to get a good rating in health, physical training, camp activities. He wants to be good to look at, popular, a leader. A strong leader never scatters his DAILY DIET RECIPE GRAPEFRUIT—CUCUMBER. Grapefruit sections, one and one-half cups.

A strong character never tries to spread himself over the world of his activiti He selects the things he can do well and keeps stadily at them until he js master in his field. All children | would do just that, be masters in the field of their choice, but inexperienced, eager for life, they make the mistake of trying to get it all. Look ahead through the growing years of the child. Roughly sketch out for him and her a plan of activity that pe: mits them exercise .in the chosen fields without overdoing things. Guide them. Teach them the wisdom of selection, conservation, concentration. Teach them to study their powers as well as their talents. So we will have efficient, successful children. As it is now we have too many nervous, overwrqught, hysterical patien Hair that sparkles ! No one can deny the importance of haying the hair arranged in the style best suited to the indi- j vidual type.
