LD MR. TOAD is a very humble small person, homely, slow and apparently with little to rejoice about, as compared with some of his | neighbors. But Old Mr. Toad is by way of being a philosopher, and he is probably as happy and contented as any one among OId Mother | Nature's children. His wants are few and simple. He is willing to work | to supply them. He attends strictly to his own business and never med- dles in the affairs of his neighbors. ‘That, you know, is one important secret of happiness. Old Mr. Toad had just had a great’ scare. He had had a glimpse of a black leather strap being dragged | elong the ground by Farmer Brown's boy end had taken it for Mr. Black- snake. That had been enough to send chills all over Old Mr. Toad. You see, certain members of the Bnake family are about the only peo- | includes = Hlan *1 DON'T BLAME YOU FOR LAUGH- ING,” SAID HE TO PETER RAB- BIT. ple Old Mr. Toad has any real reason 10 fear, but some of those Snakes do like a Toad dinner when they can get it. and so Old Mr. Toad is a badly scared person whenever he suspects a Soake is about. “I don't blame you for laughing” #aid he to Peter Rabbit, “and I don't mind at all. 1 can laugh myself now. Of course, you are not afraid of Mr. Blacksnake, but with me it is a dif- ferent matter. I can think of lots of places that I would rather go than down a Snake's throat.” Peter nodded gravelv. “No." said he. “I'm not afraid of Mr. Blacksiake for myself, but T am afraid of him for my babies. You know he is just as Tond of little Rabbits as he is of Toads. So I don't like Mr. Black- snake, and I never did.” Old Mr. Toad drew a long breath. Then his throat began to swell out. Tt swelled and swelled until it was like a big glistening white bubble. Peter stared very hard. He opened his mouth to ask Old Mr. Toad what he was doing. but before he could speak he heard a familiar sound. It Peter looked a little puzzled. He scratched a long ear with the toes of | a long hind foot. Then he scratched the other ear with the toes of the| other long hind foot. “May I ask.” said he, presently, “why you are 0| happy?” “Because that wasn't Mr. Black. snake that gave me such a scare” replied Old Mr. Toad. “If that isn't reason enough for rejoicing I don't know what would be.” | “Pooh!” exclaimed Peter, “Is that the way you feel every time you have an escape?” “'Yes.” replied Old Mr. Toad. i “Well,” said Peter. “if I did that I would be rejoicing all the time.” “Would that be such a bad idea”" asked Old Mr. Toad. “I sometimes think that the troubles in life are worth while for the rejoicing that fol- lows when they are ended.” “Pooh!" exclaimed Peter again. “I! forget my troubles as soon as they are | ended. You're a queer, fellow, Old Mr. Toad.” “Perhaps.” replied Old Mr. Toad, but I get a lot of joy out of life just the same.” (Copyrizh, Con BY P. HAL SIMS. M. Sims is unwersally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 national champton- ships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system. which the one-over-one principle, which the Sims group of players was the Arst to emgploy and develop. More on Kibbitzers. ']‘HE perfect kibbitzer is a combina- tion of an Egyptian mummy and the late Calvin C. Coolidge. No mat- ter how much the declarer's plav may irk him, he reserves comment until his opinion is sought. He does not emit shrill velps of anguish, calculated to warn the defense that the lead of the ace of spades will be trumped, nor does he groan hollowly when it is trumped. In other words, since he is there only by the sufferance of the players, his job is to efface himsell completely. ‘The greatest compliment that can be given to a kibbitzer is for a player to glance up suddenly and exclaim, “What! Have you been playing all evening?” The other type—the helpful sort that I dwelt on last Monday—is the | bane of the average bridge player's | existence. After all, one's partner is usually across the table-—not at one's | elbow. Julian Barth, who has had | his share of heckling. once made the | perfect retort to a criticizing kibbitzer. Mr. Barth had landed in six spades, | and it soon became apparent that the whole contract hinged on a guess in the trump suit. The ten, three times, was in the dummy. Mr. Barth held the A.

At this point a friendly onlooker leaned over and said in a loud stage whisper: “You could have made that hand.” “Huh?" asked Mr. Barth, turning around. “I said vou could have made that hand," reiterated the kibbitzer in a louder tone of voice. “If vou'd gone up with the king, the queen would have dropped. See? All you had to do was play for the split.” “What plit>” inquired Mr. Barth, in a withering tone. “Two and a half. two and a half?" And that reminds me, for no reason at all. of a kibbitzer who actually lost money in a game. The infuriated de- clayer suggested that since the kib- | bitzer seemed to know so much how ' to play the hand. he might try it him- self, and pay up if he lost. The gauntlet that had been thrown down was taken up. Five minutes later the kibbitzer was $2.87 the wiser. The extra 7 cents was the tax levied upon all kibbitzers who take it upon them- selves to play.

As the scarlet snake is well known throughout Southeastern United States and most abundant in the low coastal reglons, you will want to be quite con- fident you can identify him. The places he haunts are those where the ground lizard, the “bluetail,” the brown snake and the offspring of the ringed-neck snake are well known Tt you happen to look down on the snake from your place in a fine old tree, the color scheme seems to be wide scarlet or crimson rings, sep- arated by pairs of black ones, which are outlined by a ring of yellow, the same width as the black ones. The scarlet snake he is mimicking has broad scarlet rings, equal sized black ones and those of yellow are narrow and border the black rings.

How they try to hide, and what a quick job they make of it. With their sharp little snouts they burrow under debris, and look for them where vou will, they seem completely to have vanished. Owing to the plentiful sup- ply of their favorite food, insect larvae (bables), these small hunters. going about nosing into every crack and cranny, give you the impression of in- | dustry.

In fact, it is & mild little snake, whose ruse failed to work, and it is scared most to death. 1f presented with a mouse the rep- tile would soon quiet down and, gliding toward, seize it by the head. then coll about it so closely it would be squeezed to death. A fully grown female will lay eight or more eggs. You will find them about the latter part of June. They are white and elongate. The mother coils her body and lies coiled close by. Five weeks later the youngsters will hatch. It must be recorded that the scarlet snake is not above eating her own eggs. even though she has an abundance of food about her.
