“ H ello," said one, “ please give me

And the other an

“ Yes. this Is 143 Party J. Did yon
wish to speak to me?"
“ Oh. yes, my dear, how are yon

Next be saw two children sitting
In a big box and the big box was
In a still bigger puddle and they were
playing that they were on a boat
Another little girl was playing
“ house" with her friend and she was
saying:
"D ear Mr. Iceman, why didn't you
lease Ice for me today? Do you know
now where I can get any?"
And the other girl who was sup­
posed to be the Iceman answered In
a gruff voice:
“ Go to the North pole and you'll
find some, lady.”
Some other children were starting
out with their dolls for a trip and

they were saying to their little dolls
“ W e have to pay to ride on the
cars, but you are young enough to

Then Peter went to a *oo where
most o f the people about spoke an­
other language, for he went a long,
long way this time. But the animals
still grunted and squealed and chat­
ted In their own way to Peter's great
relief.
Coming back he sailed on an old
schooner and bad a most adventure­
some time.
He sang to btmself at times and
this was one o f ihe songs he sang:

it was quite true, too, that they
had left trees and streets In the
far distance now for quits a while.
He listened to the sea gulls saying
the same things over and over and he
thought how much they were like
so.ue people who said the same things
over and orer.
But they were so graceful and so
beautiful and they always made the
scenery more interesting.
Then he
liked to hear their funny laughing
voices and he thought their good ap-
petlties showed how healthy they
were.
He certainly would tell them tn
Fairyland, how he could see. when
he looked front the top of the mast,
only where the sky and sea met all
around
There was a blue ridge In
the distance and beyond he couldn't
see.
He thought o f all the curious things

and dog wagons and bow much they
had to work. But then, too, he had
been I d one Itttle place and every day
the dogs had all met together on the
beach and bad gone In swimming and
had played and had a beautiful time.
It bad seemed Just as tf they had
named an hour to meet on the beach.
He had seen woolly white sheep
lying on stones, on rocky hills, and
he had watched scampering wild rah
bits and great flocks o f wild birds.
H e had made friends with a dear
little dog as they had warmed them
selves before a fire when every one
was out and the little dog had felt
so blissful lying on his back by the
warm fire and having Peter Gnome
rub his chest.
Oh, Peter had made many a visit
and had seen many a quaint and In­
teresting sight at home and far away,

It i phrase which we some­
times bear used as an expression of
Indifference, or applied to a person
who takes things not very seriously
or Intensely, who does not worry and
cannot be ruffled, who 's irresponsl
ble and “ easy going."
It was as descriptive o f a certain
person that the expression had its
origin. Its contribution to modern
speech is part o f the great legacy left
to posterity by Charles Dickens. In
bis well-known “ Pickwick Papers" we
find the quotation tn w itch the term
was first used, as follow s:
“ H e was a mighty free and easy,
roving devil-may-care sort o f person,

* * vlved In this country o f the once
high esteem in which vervain was
held I d magld and folk medicine Is Its
reputation as a cure for fever and
ague— a reputation which the doctors
say Is entliely undeserved.
But let
science say wnat It may, superstition
still calls vervain "favor-w eed" and
this Is little enough as salvage from
Its once great estate o f magical prop­
erties.
In former times the vervain was
highly esteemed as a love philter and
Is so today In gome sections o f Eu
rope. At a German wedding a wreath
o f vervain Is presented to the bride
and Is supposed to aid her In holding
the affections for her husband.
tn
England the herb ts thought to be
efficacious In staunching a wound, and
In France, If gathered In the waning
o f the moon It is as much regarded
for Its curative properties as It Is In
the “ fever and ague" districts o f the
United States. But the French em­
ploy an tDcantatlon while gathering It
which Is not done In America. That
la the reason, perhaps, why tn France
It cures not only fever but various
other sicknesses.
In the days when witches were
more common tbaD they are now
vervain was one o f the herbs which
they gathered to work their magic
w ith ; but also It was regarded aa a
charm against witchcraft—as It Is to­
day In some sections o f Europe, In­
cluding rural England. All the super­
stitions regarding vervain are an In­
heritance from the days o f the
Druids with whom It was a sacred
plant, and If it has lost a portion of
Its magical reputation today It la prob­
ably due to the fact that we have for­
gotten how to gather It properly. The
Druids gathered It only “ when the
dog-star arose from unsunned places."

Horses are gregarious, that Is, their
tendency Is to herd, and as a rule they
graze w if i the wind, presuntably from
the same Instinct that Impels them to
face away from a storm. Some believe
that In their wild state they depend
on wind carried scent to warn them of
danger from the rear and trust their
eyes for news o f danger coming
against the wind.

fam iliar with the superstitions sur­
rounding It. This diminutive snltntil
I devours Inserts of all kinds snd In
this respect It Is o f great benefit fa
farmers In particular and mankind
In general. In a book published In
1638 H Is mentioned that Ihe rotnmnn
i shrew “ Is a ravening beast . ,
It beareth a cruel mind, desiring to
hurt everythin g; there Is no creature
that It loveth. They are fraudulent
and tnke tlielr prey by deceit and a
lot more.’
It p zs believed that the shrew pol
soned « .file . In some English conn
try districts It Is still thought that If
one parses over the foot o f a man or
touches a foot of a beast lameness
Is brought on.
The cure for this Is a cruel one. A
shrew I* captnred. a hole Is bored
In an ash tree, nnd the live animal
In pushed In. Th e entrance o f the
hole le sealed. When It la aupposed
that the shrew'a body Is decayed suf­
ficiently, the hole Is opened, a twig
Inserted, and If thla la pnssed over
the lame part Ih e tnnn or beast Is sup
posed to recover. It Is difficult to he

that such ancient supersti­
