FEATURES. Stories Bedtime Johnny Is in BY THORNTON W. BURGESS, T galous alwars misconstrue JEALOUS person can make black out of white and really believe it. He sees nothing as it really is. In his eyes an ant hill becomes a mountain. The funny thing is that he slways sees things bigger, oh, vastly bigger, than they really are, never smaller. Jealousy exaggerates. Johnny Chuck was jealous. He did mot know it, but he was. And being Jealous, he was in & bad humor. He hadn't slept well. He had wakened sarly, and had Polly Chuck been there she probably would have said that he got out of the wrong side of the bed, Truth is, either side would have been |- the wrong side that morning for Johnny Chuck. He was out of sorts, | completely 80, and all because he was Jealous without knowing it. The way was clear and Johnny rted for that part of the Green dows toward which the strange Chuck had gone the night before, the part where Johnny and Polly Chuck had lived last year and where he pre- sumed Polly still was, for she still was sound asleep when he had left to g0 wandering in search of adven- $ure and something to eat. No longer fat, but very, very lean, Johnny traveled fast, and he mut- Sered to himself as he ran. “I know well enough where that fellow s, he muttered. “He is in that house of mine that he first came | | fight down there.

I dug it and no one else has a right to it.” So Johnny muttered as he ran and quite forgot the law of Old Mother Nature, which gives to whoever takes possession that which another is not using. Having long since given up that house under ground, he now had no more right to it than had any one who might want it. He knew this, but in his jealous bad humor he had quite forgotten it. So at last Johnny came to the house, No one was in sight, but as soon as he reached the doorstep he knew that the other Chuck was down inside. “I knew it. I knew it” growled Johnny, gritting his teeth. “It is just as I had thought—that fellow is in my house. He thinks that just be- cause it was empty he can take it. I'll show him whose house it is. I'll pull him out of there and send him about his business. He doesn’t belong here, and the sooner he understands this the better. I'll just go in there and pull him out.” But Johnny didn't go in and pull the other Chuck out. True, he started in, but he changed his mind. He changed his mind and backed out. He sat on the doorstep. You see, he had remembered how big that other fellow was, how big and strong and ready to fight. In spite of his bad humor he had sense enough to know that he couldn't pull that other out of that house no matter how he tried. “I'll have to wait for him to come out” grumbled Johnny. “We can't ‘There isn't room enough for that. to come out. Mean- while, I'll go over and see if Polly is awake yet.” Now the house where Polly Chuck had passed the Winter was some dis- tance. When Johnny got there he knew at once that Polly had awakened. He went down inside to see if she were there. The house was empty. Evidently Polly had gone out. Why? Where had she gone? Had she gone to the house he himself had occupled through the Winter? He at once hurried there, The house was empty. There was no sign that Polly | Chuck had even been there. Johnny's Jealousy flared up again. Where was she? Had she gone to meet some one else? Johnny ground his teeth at the thought. | Conquering Contract BY P. HAL SIMS. CCORDING to popular belief, | spades, discarding two hearts and the | Courtland, but spelled it Cortland.

The German tribes wrote it Steven. The French and Italians altered the name to Stephani or Steffonani. The Danes, Angles and Saxons, who in wrn invaded England, wrote the name | Stevenson—to distinguish father from | son.

In Eastern Canada and Maine, and westward to Minnesota and south to the Gulf of Mexico, the bergamot flourishes. She may be purple, pinkish, rose, yel- lowish pink, whitish or dotted with white. The favorite color of the but- terfly visitors is magenta or the royal purple of the ancients. The flower head is nearly flat, and makes the per- fect landing field for small insects. ‘The stem is from 2 to 3 feet high, rough and branched, bearing the op- posite, lance-shaped leaves. They are on slender petioles and are very aro- matic. The bracts and upper leaves are whitish and the color of the flower. At first glance, the flower, with its hairy calices, makes you think of a penwiper, then you become so inter- ested in the guests that you forget about it. Butterflies flutter over the gay flowers, and sip with delight the brimming goblets of nectar. Insects crawl over the flower's head and get their furry bodies well dusted with pollen grains, and drop much of the precious pollen they picked up at their last port of call. There are the tiny bees, sipping daintily from the over- flowing tubes of nectar—their short tongues can reach only the full ones. color from an unseen source is the Stand close by, and you can hear the eye to see, and so steady the visitor appears to be standing in space.

SPROWLS. Anger. FAMOUS historian, who had & habit of looking back in order to predict the future, once said: “Any man could live to old age if he never lost his temper.” These were the words of George Bancroft when he was past 90. It seems that as we grow older the emotion of anger is more upset- ting than it is in youth. It is as if nature sald: “Your fighting days are over; why waste s0 much strength uselessly?” Perhaps that's why you find so much resignation to the in- evitable provocations of association among the aging. Anger can be controlled—perhaps more easily than any other emotion. For one thing, it requires a good deal of intelligence to carry out the man- dates of anger. Thus thinking is aroused with this feeling. The think- ing factor becomes a habit. Andrew Jackson declared that one must learn when to become angry. He said he had formed a habit through many experiences. His habit was to have it over at once and forget about it. Benjamin Franklin’s habit was to begin counting whenever he became angry. Willlam James prescribed work at the woodpile. (Copyright. 1935.)
