A mother's love will never sleep, But ceaseless vigil always keep. —Old Mother Nature. 8 HE always does every Spring while his new antlers are growing, Lightfoot the Deer retired to a certain very quiet | spot in the Green Forest, where he| was not. likely to be disturbed. The | growing of the great antlers such as | Lightfoot wears in the Fall is a most | important matter. Yes, sir, it is mosLJ important. They must be grown fast, | and they must be grown just so. Nothing must be allowed to mjure\ them, and at that time they are very tender and easily injured. You know, in the Fall Lightfoot sometimes has t0 | fight, and then he needs those antlers, | for they are his weapons. At the same time they are a crown of beauty, and, while Lightfoot is not exactly vain, he is proud of his appearance, &s he has a right to be. Now, when Lightfoot retired to his secret place in order to grow these new antlers, Mrs. Lightfoot went by herself. Mrs. Lightfoot needed just | | PR | LY 774 THERE WERE NO PRmIER BABIES IN ALL THE GREEN FOREST. saw it. You see, those little spotted coats were a wonderful protection. They blended in with the color of the ground, which was spotted with litule flecks of sunlight here and there or with white flowers in other places. And there was no scent given off by those precious bables. Buster Bear or one of the others might have passed close to them without seeing them or smelling them. But like all the babies of the wild folk, the little fawns grew rapldly. It wasn't long before they were big | enough to follow mother about. Then Mrs. Lightfoot's anxiety was greater | than ever.

BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, Junsell THE origin of the English family of “Maunsell” goes back to Sir Philip de Maunsell, who came to England with William the Conqueror. The barony of Mansel is found in “Burke’s those borne by Sir Philip. branch also bearing these arms settled in County Limerick, Ireland. The name is now more commonly spelled Munsell. It is thought that Sir Philip de Maunsell derived his name from Mansle, a place name in France. first of the name to settle in America. He was born in England and came to this country about 1630 and settled in | New London, Conn. Jacob Munull came over during the eighteenth cen- | tury and settled in Windsor, Conn. Robert Munsell, Virginia records as “Robert Munsell, Gentleman,” indicating & man of wealth and social standing, was in the Southern colony as early as 1621. The motto, “Quod vult valde vult i is translated “A will of his own.” (Copyright, 1935.)

SOME years ago, I happened to be playing a team-of-four match in my home against a young lady whom I had just met. According to her own confession she was a bit overawed by the “fast” com- pany and, as a result, bid and played soundly, slowly and conservatively, while my team was merrily experi- menting with flighty bids and worse plays. ‘The upshot of the whole matter was that the young lady found her side in the lead by 3,000 points at the end of the first 16 boards. Elated, she decided to branch out a trifle. She had been getting on very well in her home stamping grounds by a hybrid variant of my system—the policy of never passing third hand. The opponents would not only fail to double but they would be scared out of their games and slams. She picked up the fol- lowing hand: Boades x-x Diamonds Q-x-x-x Hearts x-x-x Clubs J-x-x- She was vulnerable, and mlrd hand after two passes, 50 she bid one dia- mond. I passed, and her partner re- Sonnysayings Thomas Munsell was one of the| D. C. MONDAY, spotided with one no trump. You can imagine the combined strength be- tween the two hands, Peeling slightly i1l in view of the fact that we were playing cumulative scoring, she passed, and 1 doubled, Unfortunately, I had & partner. This partner labored under the delusion that it was up to him to bid, and, after eéxamining his hand carefully, he found & bid, He bid—one spade! I don't know whether she or her partner yelled “Insufficient!” first; but when it was explained to my partner that I was barred from the bidding, and that he must make his bid suffi- cient, he found another bid—two no trumps. This, in bridge, is about equivalent to outright annihilation! The young lady has never forgotten this episode, or let me forget it, but the other night, retribution stalked her footsteps, and overtook her. ‘When two players bid badly one is usually a little worse than the other. That was the case in the following hand: West Dealer, AKQJI4 YKJT6 A 9765 a8 N YAI098 E+W 109872 g Q2 4A2 vQ53 ¢KQJ3 &AJI08 The bidding: South 2N.T.

It was not 50 much the fact that he made an in- sufficient bid; it was the idea of bidding again on the North hand over three no trump, four no trump or five no trump—and since he evidently expected South to bid three no trump, he had that new suit response all ready, and half way out of his mouth. The opponents called, “insufficient.” Perhaps North was rattled. At any rate, North bid flve spades. Barred with & doubleton ace, and not realiz- ing that North's spade suit was as good as K Q J X, South can't be blamed for quietly giving up. (Copyright. 1935.) Groom Wants Money Back.

You see, she wanted a place where babies could be safely | hidden, and that really was more im- | portant than a place where antlers | could be grown. So it came about that in time there were two babies with spotted coats safely hidden in a thicket among growing ferns. Not even their own father knew of them. For the time being that was Mrs. Light- foot's secret, and how carefully she kept it. Only to nurse them did she | ever go into the thicket where they | were. For the remainder of the time | she browsed some little distance from | that thicket, but where she could watch it. or she lay ‘down in another thicket from which she could keep watch of the place where the fawns were ‘There were no pretticr babies in all the Green Forest. Mrs. Lightfoot \\as‘ very. very proud of them. As would almost any mother, she would have liked to show them off. Instead, she did her best to keep it a secret that there were any babies. You see, there were certain other people in the Green | Forest who would have been delighted to know where those little fawns were. ‘There was Buster Bear, for instance. | ‘There was Puma the Mountain Lion. There was Old Man Coyote. There | was Yowler the Bobcat. There was Reddy Fox. It would not have been to admire the beauty of those little fawns that any one of these would have rejoiced to find them. No, sir! It would have been because those babies would have furnished as fine a dinner as any one of those folks could think of. So, you #ee. Mrs. Lightfoot had the very best ©of reasons for keeping her secret. Those were anxious days and nights | for Mrs. Lightfoot, especially those first davs and nights. You see, those precious fawns had mnot then the strength in their slim little legs for fast running. So they were taught to lie perfectly still, no matter who might spproach. Always when mother left them she charged them not to move, especially if she could give them the | danger signal. So they would lie with thelr little necks stretched out along | the ground, and had you happened along thet way you might ha\e‘ stepped on one of them before you Nature’s | you have never seen.

THE unsavory phrase, “spoils” sys- tem, signifying the recognition | of successful political services by the bestowal of Government jobs at the expense of former incumbents is just a little over 100 years old. While there is undoubtedly much of this sort of thing the world over, it has reached a fine art in the United States, where it is not so long since a reversal at the polls would witness ! a wholesale turnover of employment. The system was initiated on a large scale in the United States by Andrew Jackson upon his accession to the | presidency. Andrew Jackson justified this policy on the ground that, as argued in the Senate in January, 1832, by Wil- liam Larned Macy, “to the victors belong the spoils.” (Copyright, 1935.)

NCE you get, interested in mel O moss family, you are eager to | see how many members you | have snubbed and passed by | on your way to the swamp, woods, | swimming hole, creek or fish pond. You can hardly wait for your next Jaunt, to see if you can discover a few more along the same trail. | At this time, you realize you had not only skipped the mosses, but overlooked | ferns, lichen, bird nests and—oh, well, | why tell the world you have good eye sight, but are using only a small frac- | tion of it? For over the logs creeps a soft deep green carpet; a great boulder has a rich springy rug of emerald green of | another species; at the foot of a giant | oak, where you stood dozens of times watching the gay squirrels race back and forth into their leafy Summer residence, you see closely hugging the largest lower limk another moss of grayish-green. Then you become aware of still another charming clump in a sunlit patch in an opening in the woods. For there stands the charming hair-cap, with its seed capsules sway- ing on their glossy mahogany stems. Sometimes you will find a really tall stand of the hair-cap. Fully 15 inches high, though 3 to 6 inches is the average height. Some folks call this moss pigeon wheat and you may know it by this name. The sharp-pointed, green leaves are narrow and grow along the flexible stem, while the seed children are packed in dainty four-angled capsules at the end of individual coral-tinted stems. As you know, mosses have no flow- ers. The ancients bestowed upon them unusual power, and attributed to them special qualities when they Tesembled any part of a human's Body. ‘On the seed satchel of this dlant there are silky hairs. That | into it, | emerald | with you and let them dry. was enough. A concoction made of the leaves, decided these seers, would assure the user luxuriant tresses! In the northern part of Europe the poor people used to make tiny brooms and mats of this moss. And the little children of Europe, as well as those of this country, made believe this dainty moss belonged to the fairies. So they used the ruby-col- i ored stems of the capsules to make a circle, and, by removing the spore capsule cap and inserting the stem they had a ring with an set! Try your skill as a )eweler and see if you can fashion one for your ‘mother or little lady- love. It is said, if you make a necklace of these Ioops and place | it about the throat of one cool to your affection, the person will surely awake to your charms. The leaves of the hair-cap are small but determined and, when drought comes along, they close up tight to save every bit of moisture on thelr glossy surface. They even go into a sort of huddle along the stem. Take some of the green leaves home Drop them into a bowl of water and see them do their hasty revival stunt. {Copyright. 1935.) ADVERTISEMENT. Quick Relief From Constipation ‘That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physi- cian for 20 years, and calomel's old- time enemy, discovered the formuls for Olive Tablets while treating pa- tients for chronic constipation. Olive Tablets do not contain calo- mel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mild and pleasant. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab- lets. They help cause the bowels to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have & "dlrk brown mouth” —bad breath—dull, tired feeling— sick headache caused by constipation —you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Thousands take them to keep right. Try them. 15¢c, 30c, 60c. Because husbands are too busy to serve on coroner’s juries in Hammer- smith, England, they are sending their wives to take their places.
