What you wouldn't discover at a glasice, however, is the fact that he is & member of a particular branch of that family. Unless you had him in your hands to examine, or happened to be watcl him gather in seeds and so saw his cheeks gradually swell without gplrent cause, you wouldn't suspect e pockets in his cheeks.

Under a small bush was what apj like a very low_mound and on dge of this Farmer Brown's Boy noticed & tiny heap of sand as if| it had been thrown out by some one digging a hole. He looked more closely and saw what looked as if it might be a doorway filled with sand. With a! small stick he pushed away the sand and found that he was right. It was the opening to a small tunnel. Even while he was looking at it some grains of sand came out almost in his face, for he had his face very close to the hole try- ing to look in. Then Farmer Brown's Boy began to | chuckle. “I do believe.” said he, “that ghe door is actually being closed in my ace.” It was Midget, for this was Midget's home; he was closing that doorway with sand just as fast as he could. He was making his little: feet fairly fly as he kicked sand into place. Farmer Brown's Boy waited until the doorway was quite filled with sand. Then he removed it as before, and as before Midget immediately began to kick sand to glose the door.’ Presently Farmer Brown's Boy found another closed door and opened this with precisely the same result. It was perfectly clear that Mid- get wanted no visitors and didn’t mean to have any if he could help himself. “Well,” said Farmer Brown's Boy, “for & little fellow you are smart. I imagine that an open doorway wouldn't be the safest thing around here. I don't know who your enemies are, but an open dorway would be an invitation to walk in or dig in. A closed door isn't likely to be noticed L —= “WELL” SAID FARMER BROWN'S | BOY, “FOR_A LITTLE FELLOW | YOU ARE SMART!” | an ounce. He is a pretty little fellow with a yellow silky coat. Because of | the latter he is called the Silky Pocket | Mouse. Some of his cousins and neigh- | bors have such coarse hairs in their | ocoats that they are called Spiny Podket Mice. Farmer Brown's Boy had seen Midget | in the moonlight and had quite fallen in love with him. Now, moonlight is all very nice for certain things, but not so | satisfactory as sunlight for seeing | clearly. S0 it came about that the next | morning right after breakfast Farmer Brown's Boy was back at that place | where the night before he had watched Longfoot the Kangaroo Rat and Mid- get. Not a single kernel of the grain he had left there remained. He got not so much as a glimpse of either of his acquaintances of the night before. Only fairylike footprints in the sand | remained to prove that those pretty, | lively little folk in fur had been there. Of course, he knew that the smallest, daintiest footprints had been made by Midget and so he began to trace these in hope that they would lead him to Midget's home. After a while he came to the end of one of these little And you are right on the job to close it as fast as it is opened. You and I must become acquainted. Yes, sir, we must so. I guess I'll have to come around here after jolly round hot Mr. Sun goes to bed. It is evident that you are far too sensible to come out in the heat of the day.” So Farmer Brown's Boy didn't bother Midget any more then, but started back for the ranch. Oven Steak.

C, NANCY PAGE Bride's Family Pays Most of Wedding Bills. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Susan was planning her wedding which was to take place early in June. She and Albert were that the wedding should not be an expensive affair and yet, they wanted it to be proper in all its detalls. The question ©of Who pays for what was vexing them. Susan consulted some books of etiquette and then checked her answers with | Naney. “Am I right in telling Albert that he | pays for license, clergyman's fee, my | bouquet and nothing else?” “Not quite, Sue, although customs | differ in various parts of the country. It is generally accepted that he shall pay for the bridesmaids’ flowers and the boutonnieres for the ushers. Then he usually gives the bride a gift. Of course he has to Ely all the traveling expenses for the honeymoon trip.” “The bride's father or family pays for the decorating at home or in the club | | | | | | They pay for the wedding invitations and announcements, the cabs or ma- chines which carry specially invited guests to church.

Of course, it is essential that underarm hairs be removed, as they hold perspiration odérs, and it is hardly possible to have underarm daintiness unless these surfaces are kept smooth and clean. There are many reliable depllatories for this purpose. After washing the armpits both night and morning with salt water, the follow- ing lotion may be applied and left to dry on the skin: three ounces alcobol, one dram tannic acid, two ounces cologne water, three ounces witch hasel. Apply with a clean plece of absorbent cotton. After the lotion has dried, dust wthl;\ a little powder containing boric acld. Sometimes there is excessive perspira- tion on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the scalp, forehead and upper lip. While a certain amount of sweating over the entire body is normal, profuse sweating of special surfaces of the skin is not normal. Cases of this sort may be relieved by the application of astringent lotions and powder, but for & real cure it is necessary to get at the cause. Nervousness is a frequent cause and a general run-down condition of health is another. In such cases, it is best to see a physician and have a thorough examination, for the excessive LITTLE BENNY' BY LEE PAPE. ‘This afternoon I went a errand for ma and there was a quarter change and I went up to her room to give it to her and she was sewing on her sewing ma- | chine, saying, Have you got my change, Benny?

Numerous short sketches about Sig- mund PFreud, the 73-year-old psycho- logical sage of Vienna, are now appear- lnf. Twenty years ago Freud was ridi- culed, and even cursed. A few psychol- ogists tolerated him; a very few even tried to understand him. The layman laughed, wondered, and laughed some more. No psychologist, in the long his- tory of that scence, ever represented 80 small a minority, ever refused 0 | stubbornly to compromise his position as a theorist. Today Freud seems to have reached | the heights of human popularity. He | is still a member of a scant minority— | but in a new sense. He remains in his | study with his thoughts, He refuses to | be molested. He cares nothing for the | adulation that is now being showered | upon him, ‘What of Freud? Can it be that the | rapidly moving spirit of this age has| begun to catch up with a prophet? Are | men and women everywhere beginning | to understand the psychology of im- pulses, drives, dreams and wishes? What of Preud?

Perhaps he should be named in | a class with three and only three other great men—Aristotle, Copernicus, Dar- win. Perhaps. (Copyright. 1931) —l-);delion Punch.
