TWO OKPHASS
ONE day Bnb Kabblt was playing
around the woods when lie met
Tom Kitten. "Where are you
jolng?" asked Bab Rabbit, for at first
he thought Tom was one of his rela
tives, he looked so much like his fam
ily. "Oh, I nra going to play I am an
orphan and get a fiddle; then every
one will plve mo mice. I expect Til
Bet rich because I saw a hand-organ
man playing on the street and he got
lots of pennies."
"I wonder If I could get some young
radishes If I played, too?" asked Bab.
"I should not care for lulce, you
know."
"Come along with me. I am sure
we can get lots of things," said Tom
Kitten. (
Off they ran up to the farm over
the hill, and hanging In the barn they
found an old fiddle with one string
and a drum with a hole In It
"We will have to look poor and for
saken If we want everyone to give us
things," said Tom. "I'll make a hole
In my coat and you tear your stock
ing." Ob, such a sight as those two crea
tures were when a little later they
Went along the road playing the old
fiddle and the drum.
But the mice or the radishes did not
come, as they thought. Instead they
made such bad music that all the cats
In Catvllle threw tin cans after them,
and by night time they were two very
hungry and tired little fellows.
"We might try your woods," said
Tom. "My family does not seem to
like our music; but when It Is a little'

What the Sphinx Says

(lark, they might like It In Wood
ville."
So off to Woodville they trotted
and under the tree whore Mr. Owl
lived they began their music.
When Mr. Owl heard the terrible
riblse outside, he ducked under the
clothes and hid, for what was after
him he could not think.
But after a while, as nothing hap
pened but the noise, Mr. Owl poked
out his head, and then got up. But
Instead of getting out of the right-
side of his bed, as he first started to
do. he got out this time on the wrong
side, which made him very cross.
He ran to the window ar.d threw It
up with a bang, and Tom Kitten and
Bnb Rabbit were sure this time they
were to get a mouse or a radish.
Each held up his hat and said
"Pity two poor orphans and give us
something.
"ril give you something." said Mr.
Owl, for he was cross when he went
to the window, but" when he saw who
It was he was crosser than ever.
Mr. Owl did not wait to dress. He
flew right out of the window Just as
he was, in his night cap and slippers,
and down he pounced upon the two
orphans.
He carried them up to his window,
and there is no knowing what would
have happened If the window had
been large enough for Mr. Owl and
Tom Kitten arid Bab Rabbit to get
through all at once, but It wasn't, and
Mr. Owl, thinking Tom Kitten was a
rabbit and could not get away, he sat
him down on a limb of the tree until
he could put Bab Rabbit Inside.
No sooner did he let go of Tom
Kitten than away he went down the
tree and off at his best running speed.
Old Mr. Owl was so surprised that
he dropped poor Bab Rabbit, and the
moss under the tree was thick, and
so when he struck It Bab Rabbit
jumped up pretty quick and ran hlp-
perty-hop-leap away from around Mr.
Owl's home.
Tom Kitten and Bab Rabbit had a,
very hard time explaining how they
tore their clothes, and to punish them
their mothers made them stay In bed
all the next day, and you may be sure
that neither of them ever again want
ed to play orphans.

WAVING THE HAIR
TV AILT I find a half dozen or so of
J letters In my mail, containing a
request for something that will make
the hair wavy. As a general thing I
answer that, while there are various
curling fluids on the market, they are
unsatisfactory, though quite harmless,
I know the recipe for two of them, and
know that in some cases, the mixture
will make the hair wavy, but In other
cases it has no effect at all, due to the
varying formation of the hair cells,
XX:
Don't Use An Iron if You Can Avoid
It; the Heat Dries Up the Hair.
and the way In which each hair
grows from the head. I never really
advise It.
As a general thing, the sort of hair
that one is born with Is the kind most
becoming to the owner's face. In this
generation, wavy hair is held as the
most beautiful, so every woman de
sires it, though It Is unbecoming to
many types of faces. A century ago,
long straight hair was considered .far
more lovely, and no doubt all the
curly-haired women wet and soaped
their locks to remove the offending
wave.
If you must curl your hair, don't
nse a hot iron. By the time the Iron
Is hot enough to contract the sides of
the hair and draw it into a curl, it Is
hot enough to hurt the hair Itself. Use
rag or soft kid curlers, rolling strands
of the hair around them, and letting
It stay so over night, or for several
hours, while you cover the unbecoming
effect with a boudoir cap. '

SEASICKNESS

Seasickness almost always results
from coming In contact with water
which refuses to lie flat There In
nothing more terrifying than a largo
body of water which stands first on
one leg and then on the other and
causes the apprehensive tourist to
wish that he had been carried off by

seem that science could discover some
method of preventing the ocean from
rising up and driving Inoffensive pas

ner which was paid for before leaving
the dix'k, but It has not been able to
do so. This teaches us that science
Is of about as much use to the aver
age citizen ns the Interstate commerce
commission.
Seasickness usually sets In as soon
as the three-mile limit Is passed, and
dies a lingering death on reaching
the Irish channel. There are several
successful cures for this ailment,
however, timl after a man has tried
them all he will be In sight of land

There are several forms of seasick
ness which can be contracted without
getting off of dry land. Some men
can hardly sit down In a low-hung
hammock and swing to and fro with a
loving wife without thinking of the
days wheu they were free and un
tamed and becoming violently seasick.
Another popular form of this malndy
Is caused by attempting to drink a
company of wide-mouthed companions
to a complete standstill.
Seasickness has its drawbacks, and
there are times when It doesn't seem
to have anything else.

last Night's Drams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF MURDER?
IT 13 a curious fact that while tho
most eminently correct tierson mnv
In dreams commit the most criminal
actions the sleep of real criminals Is
generally peaceful und their dreams,
if they have uny. are of the most In
occuous character. Santa de Snntls,
the Italian Investigator, has made a
wide study of the sleep and dream.
of criminals and as a result states It
as a rule that the sleep even of mur
derers la dreamless or haunted by In
nocent visions. Thus the condemned
criminal In his cell may be dreaming
of green fields and village bells while
the upright Judge who condemned lilin
Is committing manslaughter In dream
land. These facts are dead against tho
conceptions of the poets ami novelists
and conform rather to W. S. Gilbert's
statement regarding the "cupaclty for
Innocent enjoyment" of the felon
when not engaged In his employ
ment" rather than with Hood's poem,
"The Dream of Eugene Aram." Ho
you are not necessarily criminally In
clined because you dream of killing
some one.
The mystics regard a dream of mur
der rather unfavorably. If you see
others committing murder It Is a sign
that yon will shortly be called upon to
answer for the misdeeds of others say
some, while others declare that It only
means that many hard struggles are
before you and It Is a warning to
"watch your step." If you dream that
yon are committing murder yourself
look out for your reputation and con
sider well the work you are' now en
gaged In. If you dream that some
body Is murdering you suspect secret
enemies and unforeseen dungers. In
short. It Is a sort of warning dream
to be on your guard.
Freud has devoted much attention
to this dream and regards it ns a de
sire left over from our Infancy, a
stored-away and forgotten relic of the
baby mind before we had learned that
it was wrong to murder people. Ellis
says: "If normal people dream of
crime It is because they are more sen
sitive and Imaginative and the sleep
ing consciousness is strnlned to the
utmost to Invent a phantasmal tragedy
adequate to account for the waves of
emotion which beset it." An Interest
ing thing about a murder drenm Is
that, as a rule, we experience no re
morse for our crime but much anxiety
to escape Its penalty. William Deun
Howells has remarked: "In my
dreams I am always less sorry for my
misdeeds than 'for their possible dis
covery." (Copyright.)

THl- COOKIE-LADY.
She Is gentle, kind and fair,
And there's silver In her bnlr,
She has known the touch of sorrow,
But th smile of her Is sweet ;
And sometimes It seems to, tire
That her mission Is to be
The gracious cookie-lady
To the youngster of (he street.
All the children In the block
Dally stand beside tho crock
Whore she keeps the sugar cookies
That the little folks enjoy.
And no morning passes o'er
That a tapping at her door
Doesn't wnrn her of the visit
Of a certain llttlo boy.
She has mnde him feel that he
Has a natural right to bo
In her kitchen when she's baking
Plea anil cakes and ginger brvud.
And each night to inn he brings
All the pretty, tender things
About little by-gone children
That the cookie-lady said.
Oh, dear, cookle-lady sweet
May yon beautify our street
With your kind and gentle presence
Many more glad year, I pray;
Mny the skies bo bright ubove you,
As you've taught our babes to love
you
Tou will scar their hearts with sor
row If you ever go away.
Life Is strange, and wnen I scan It,
I believe God tries to plnn'lt.
So that where ho sends his babies,
In that neighborhood to dwell
One of rare and gracious beauty
Shall abide, whose sweetest duty
Is to be the cookle-lady
That the children love so well.
