Bedtime Stories Wisdom Gained. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Who from each day doth sometring gain In time to wisdom will attain. —Old Mother Nature. P IN a far corner of the Old Pasture, a place visited by few, a young Fox sat at the entrance to his home. He ‘was the son of Reddy Fox, and he was known as the Bold One because he al- ways had been the boldest of the eight children. This being so, it was natu- ral that he should have been the first one to leave home and start out to make a place for bimseli in the Great World. Now those who are bold are not necessarily smart. Sometimes it is those who are not smart who are the most bold. That is because they are not smart enough to know when not to be bold. It was not so, however, with the soung Fox. He was smart. He was a worthy -son of his father, Reddy Fox. While he had alays been unafraid when at home, and even when he had *AND I HAD ENVIED THAT FEL- LOW!” SAID THE YOUNG FOX TO HIMSELF. first started out in the Great World, he was learning through experience that there was such a thing as being too bold. Now as he sat there at the | entrance to his home he was thinking ©f something he had seen just a little while before. He had seen a young Skunk seized and carried away by Hooty the Owl despite the fact that the young Skunk had used his scent gun. “And T had envied that fellow!” said the young Fox to himself. “I had en- vied him because he was wholly un- afraid. Yes, sir, he was unafraid, and my own eyes I saw that he wasn't. Phew! That scent was dreadful.” As he sat there thinking things over, the Bold One no longer felt bold. He had been away from home.only a few days, but what a lot he had learned! Already he had learned cau- tion. Never again would he make the mistake of underrating a stranger just because the latter was smaller than himself, or seemed to be slower, or ap- peared to have no means of defense. That lesson had been taught him by the young Porcupine whom he had cuffed because the latter would not get out of his way, and by the young Skunk, who looked so harmless, yet was 50 independent. It was a most important lesson. It was a lesson to be learned early by one who would live long in the Great World. It was thus that wisdom was gained by the young Fox. Each day he learned something, and what he learned he remembered. Also he learned to make use of the knowledge gained. Knowledge never used is worthless, So it came about that when, one day, in a sunny spot, he met a half-grown son of Buzztail the Rattlesnake, and the young Snake, instead of gliding away, as other Snakes had done whom rattle, the Bold One stopped a few feet away. He sat down and, with his head cocked on one side, studied that young Snake. All the time there was a hum- ming whir, such as he had never heard before and which, somehow, had a threatening sound. At first he couldn’t make out where it came from. that young Snake. and it was moving very fast. After a | sound came from that tail. Now the young Fox had caught and killed two or three members of the Snake family, but none was like this fellow. The others had tried to run away; this one showed no signs of fear. There was a dangerous look in his | staring eyes and all the time that strange sound seemed to be a warning. “I wouldn't come any nearer, if I were you,” hissed the young Snake. A short time ago the young Fox would not have heeded this warning. | He did now. You see, he had gained wisdom. Here was a stranger whom he didn’t know. It might pay to be careful. (Copyright, 1936.) he had seen, coiled and sounded his | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO individuals? Why are some emotional, others unemotional? Psychologists have theorized about this problem for years. The latest theory runs as follows: Our nerves are so constituted physio- logically that they demand action, Anything that restricts nerve activity creates an unpleasant feeling. Cir- cumstances which promote freedom in nerve activity create a feeling of well-being. ‘These feelings of restriction on the one hand and freedom on the other are the two mental substances out of which all our emotions are made. Some persons seem to be more sensi- tive to their surroundings than others. ‘They experience more feelings of satis- faction and dissatisfaction. These feelings are expressed in many ways, ‘We notice these expressions and draw our own conclusions about the emo- tional make-up of different indivi- duals, (Copyright, 1036.)
