Pooled once, you'll likely be again, Unless the method is made plain. —Farmer Brown's Boy. He would tell you that he ought to know. He isn't one of the kind who fries to make folks think he knows it all and cannot be fooled. 1In fact, he rather enjoys being fooled, particularly by some of his little neighbors of the Gresn Forest andethe Green Meadows, because it is a spur to his own wits. Having had a fish stolen by Whitey the Snowy Owl, he naturally suspected that the minnows missing from his bait pail had disappeared in a similar manner. He didn't think Whitey had taken them because he knew that Whitey was not near that pail when the minnows disap- peared, but he did think that there ‘was another Snowy Owl about and that | = = = IT HELD BUT ONE PICKEREL. THE OTHER HAD VANISHED. this one had taken the minnows. So sure of it was he that he didn't even consider the possibilif else might be fooling . ‘There were but three minnows left, so when after awhile one of the tiny flags fluttered a signal that a fish was on the hook he took the bait pail with him. He would take aeun&“{m those three might mystériously disappear. When he returned he bruoght with him a fine fish. He %00k it to where he had buried two in the snow. At once | he saw something was wrong. The| snow had been dug out, the snow with | which he had carefully covered those | two pickerel 50 that Whitey or any of his relatives who might happen along would not see them. Hastily Farmer Brown’s Boy stooped over that hole. It held but one pickerel. The other had vanished. It was gone. | There was no doubt about it. Only one | pickerel was in that hollow he had so | carefully scooped out in the snow. To say that Farmer Brown's Boy was aston- | ished doesn’t at all describe the dtuh’ tion. It hadn't entered his head that those fish, so carefully hidden, would or conld be found by any one. Yet some | one had found them and had taken | one. clared Farmer Brown’s Boy as he looked at the little heap of snow that had been scooped out. “No owl ever did this. It was some one with paws insteed of wings. I thought those pickerel were safe when I buried them here, but I was fooled again. Billy Mink is somewhere around here or my name isn't Farmer Brown's Boy. I'll do a little fooling myself. Yes, sir, I will s0. I'll go off and leave those two pickerel, but I won't far. Tl just keep my eyes on them d see what happens.” So Farmer Brown's Boy put in with the other fish the one he had just caught and covered, both with snow. ‘Then he went out on the Big River again as if to visit the tip-ups. But he didn't visit them. He squatted down and remained still. He was where he could see clearly the place where he had buried the pickerel. He didn't have long to wait.

You will need a length of the ma- terial about 28 inches long and 4 or 5 inches wide. You will, doubtless, find it convenient to piece the material, and this may be done in the center of the back. To make the scarf very warm you may use an interlining of some sort of woolen material cut a little smaller than the strip of fur cloth. Turn this over about a half inch over the interlining and baste down so as to catch the interlining. Cut & lining of satin or silk crepe the same size as the fur fabric, turn under so that it is about a quarter of an inch smaller on all sides than the outside material. Baste and press, and then baste to the fur fabric and blind stitch the edges down. In the meantime cut & strip of the fur fabric about one and a half inches in width and an inch longer than the width of the scarf at the straight end. ‘Turn under and line and, before sewing down the scarf lining, sew the ends in position to make the strap as shown in the sketch. Cut a circular piece of the fur material about two inches in diam- eter. With a double thread gather one- quarter of an inch from the edge, draw up the gathering thread slightly, stuff with cotton so that when the gathering | 1bs drawn up you will have a firm round all. Sew down the gathered edge as flat | as possible and then sew the ball se- curely in place as shown in the sketch. ORIES seemingly from nowhere. One instant there was no sign of it and the next in- stant it was sitting up right where those fish were bruied in the snow. “I thought so”” chuckled Farmer Brown's Boy. For a moment Billy Mink sat up star- ing out at Farmer Brown's Boy; for it was Billy Mink. Then he began to scrape away that snow. It was loose snow and it didn’t take Billy a minute to find and drag out one of those pick- erel. When he disappeared in the bushes with it, Farmer Brown's Boy de- cided it was time for him to take a hand in matters. Still he didn’t want to frighten Billy Mink too soon. He wanted to find out where Billy proposed to hide that fish. e felt sure that Billy had a hiding place and that in it he would find at least che of those other pickerel which had been taken. “You simply cannot have eaten all those minnows and those pickerel too,” he muttered, although *he knew that Billy Mink could not hear him. “No, sir, you haven't caten all those fish. You have stored some of them away for the future.” So Farmer Brown's Boy advanced carefully and rather slowly. By the time he reached the bank Billy Mink had disappeared, but Farmer Brown's Boy knew just where he had entered the bushes. He peered carefully be- tween the bushes and he went in just in time to see the tail of a pickerel vanish. BY THORNTON W BURGESS NANCY PAGE Learning How to Remove Cod-Liver 0il Spots.

By | doing this she avoided the rancidity fvlhl: comes when the old ofl at the | | neck of the bettle is exposed to air, and thereby affects the flavor of the fresh oil which is poured out over it. ‘Then, too, Lois had been careful not “This isn't the work of any Owl” de- | to shudder or show sny distaste for the | ofl.

Perhaps Lois | did not have to hide any shudder be- | | cause she did not really dislike the oil. | | She knew that most folks made a great fuss over the ofl because they thought | it was “the thing” to do. | But even though Baby Ann liked the ofl there were times when it would gur- gle out of her mouth and drool opto the little dresses.

C, MONDAY, MODES PERSONAL BY WILLIAM Chronic Running Ear, For years we have been suggesting here, from time to time, some ear drops for persons suffering from chronic run- ning ear. I cannot remember who de- vised the drops. Many readers who have tried the drops have reported cure or prolonged relief, and even a few medical men have approved the treat- ment. It is simple enough: Drop in the ear each night and morning for many weeks one or two drops of a solu- tion of 10 grains of boric acid in an ounce of pure gra‘n alcohol. Warm the solution by standing the vial in some hot water for a few minutes before you use it. If your druggist eannot or will not provide the alcohol, complain to your Congressman or somebody—I can't do_any! about it. Some of our medical friends who ap- | drying effect of the alcohol, rather than the somewhat feeble antfseptic effect of the boric acid, that does good. They are probably right, for some readers with running ear have found it difficult | to get the alcohol and they have used a but without much benefit. Dr. John A. Pratt of Minneapolis has found a fairly simple home treatment for such cases satisfactory. It is con- tinuous dry drainage by means of cotton swabs. He instructs the patient or some responsible member of the family thus: 1—A small piece of absorbent cotton is laid on the tip of the first finger of the left hand; then the end of a tooth- pick is placed in the center of the cot- ton. 2—The thumb is placed lightly over the cotton and toothpick; then with the right hand the toothpick is _twirled away from one, leaving a small space cotton. 3—The cotton is now an evenly wound swab about 1% inches long. 4—The swab on the toothpick is now inserted in the ear canal down to the drum and the discharge wiped out. ‘When the canal is dry, a swab is left in the canal and this must touch the drum. To remove the toothpick one finger is placed on the cotton and the toothpick is slightly twisted toward one to loosen it, and then it is withdrawn, leaving the swab in place, 5—The swab must be made small enough to pass through a medium sized ear speculum (that is, not over one- eighth inch thick). (Copyright, 1931.) 6—The swab should be changed as FAMOUS MAD FOLK Ludwig 11, of Bavaria, Had Morbid Dislike of Being Seen. BY J. P. | HE TREATED HIS SERVANTS VICIOUSLY. ON ONE HE POURED A POT OF HOT TEA. Ludwig II, the mad King of Bavaria, is said to have been unbalanced even in youth. From the time he became Crown Prince, for instance, he de- veloped autocratic tendencies which a violent temper rendered dangerous. In Ludwig's twelfth year a court offi- cial, hurrying through the grounds of the royal Summer palace at Berch- tesgaden, came upon & violent scene. Young Prince Otto lay upon the ground, bound hand and foot and with his mouth gagged. Holding him down was Prince Ludwig, who was twisting & handkerchief so tightly about his brother’s throat that the latter was in a fainting condition. The official drag- ged Ludwig off by main force, the Crown Prince shouting in a rage: “This is none of your business; my vassal has dared to resist my will. He must be executed!” Ludwig hated ugliness. As a child, he would face the wall if & homely servant entered the room. In later life he was unjust to ugly people. He liked beautiful women, but never loved them., In fact, he was incapable of real tenderness. Yet a romantic sad- ness in his manner, and his dark, un- fathomable eyes, with his general good looks, made him very appealing to women. By the time of the war of 1870 Lud- wig was ill in mind and body. At its close he was in a dark mood, weary | of all burdens and actually desirous of abdicating. The malady which was to destroy him was evidencing itself and he began to do all o centric One of these was to| avoid all appearances before the Ba- | varian people. As a consequence he | ceased golng to the theater, which he | loved, at the regular performances, and | compelled the actors to give a second presentation at the end of the first, with | himself as the only audience, sitting in the royal box. | Ludwig developed & mania for buil ing costly palaces that put a heavy | burden upon his people. When he en- tertained in them he made people dress | wrong side up and decorate with de- signs patchwork on the top and sides before tacl to the window seat. The result closely resembles ex- pensive straw-covered chgsts. in Greek and other old costumes. | In 1876 the King’s brother, Prince Otto, went mad. Ludwig himself began | to fear insanity. He shunned every | one. As he did not wish GLASS, he went on mad, nocturnal rides through forests or along mountain roads. He treated his servants viciously. He made one who was a bit stupid wear & seal of wax on his forehead. Another he struck with a riding whip. He poured a pot of hot tea on e third. '\;et sometimes he was very kind to em. ! Things got s0 bad that & commission examined the King. He was taken to his Castle of Serg and kept under sur- veillance. However, he managed to drown himself in & lake in the castle | grounds. e (Copyright, 1981) ATWOOD GRAPEFRUIT |l For Breakfast I Luncheon or Dinner is always Refreshing and in Good Taste — whether served to embellish a Banquet,oras a Breakfast Fruit, Salad. or Dessert, Every Day st Home. - LOOK FOR THE NAME W.

O. PEATTIE. We think of falcons as something Europeah and medieval—and in our minds connect them with horses in bright trappings, gentlemen with shoulder-length bobs and red hunting caps thrust through with white owl's feathers—and on the hunter's wrist a falcon chained. But we have falcons in America, too, though only scientists admit their intimate kinship to the Old World Falcon. FEATUR To the farmer with his shotgun our American falcon is just a plain “spar- row hawk,” and as such he is fired upon as soon as seen. Actually, the farmer ought to shoot the folk that shoot him, for his food is grasshoppers, mice, gnats and various small grain-eating crea- | tures.” | Though all the hawks are permanent residents, 1 seem to see the sparrow hawk chiefly in Winter, either because {hunger makes him bold or because in | other seasons there are too many lovely birds to give a glance at a mere hawk. Yet, now, when I see him above the hard, desolate fields, I wonder why I have ever admired the flight of any other ‘winged thing—so graceful and strong is he. ES.
