Imagine her crying.

anything or cares whether I have a good

"Why," gasped Patsy, "we didn't
think you wanted to play rouad with
us; you always seemed to he studying

. suddenly. "You might as well tell me
why you all hate me,'

"We think you're stunning said
Patsy. "But you always m ere so short
with us that we thought you .were a
grind and all that sort of thing "then
" you know you said you didn't skate,5, o
how could we ask you to go long, on
our winter picnics. And you said you
hated dancing, so we never - naked you
to the dances, and you didn't have a
banjo and never said anything about
playing., so we .couldn't ,ask you to Join
the glee club; and you didn't tide, so
how could we invite you.; to go with
us? But there isn't a girl who hasn't
tried to , fix her hair like yours snd
copy-" your hats. How do you ' ever
manage 'em ?" i
,
"I'll do your hair for you for supper,"
said Marlon, unbending for the first
time since she had come to the Barker
school. "And I think your brown hat
would 1 be lovely if it were turned up
Just a wee bit in the back." ,
"Do you !" exclaimed Patsy; "well,
lay, if you fix that hat I'll teach you
11 the new -dances and next year "
'Maybe. I wilt come back," said Mar
lon slowly. "I guess it's knowing how
to do things that makes one popular;
that's why . you're such a favorite,
f etsy ; you can do everything."
"Except trim hats and look like a
thousand dollars and be agreeable to
my roommate," said repentant Patsy.
'I'm going to" learn' to ride -tiorseback

of the dandiest candy recipes at home,"
said Marlon. "Just, wait!" Marion
Jumped up from the bed and began tak

The Latest Experiment of Solomon T. Wise
OIR Solomon Tremendous Wise
. Has queer ideas'concernlng size.
He. thinks that little bugs should be
As largo as -you, or mayee ms. '
!.....-.....
Small animals and insects would -:
Be happier, and twice as good
If they 'were Just the size of man
So Solomon thinks out si plan.
'. t - . ....
To stretch 'em up and out, to boot,
or why should they be underfoot
And we on top, he'd like to know?
They've never had a chance to
grow ' .,.," ' ,' 1
Or take up music and the arts
And travel fround in foreign parts.
Three days - and seven nights, he
thought, ' ." - -And
then, h dark brown mixture
wrought "
Of chemicals and herb's ' and yeast,
'Twould make a man ot any beast!
The Paws and
Claws Club
NOT long ago: t said that .we should
find another name "for Otir anfhtal
column, 'cause the goldfish and - ponies
and turtles got to complaining that they
had neither, paws nor 'claws and yet
were just as much pets and animals as
any ope else. " , i '
I'm- afraid we'd have fco' call It Hair,
Hoof, Feather, ' Scale and Flipper society
if we wanted to include them all. ,But
one of our members has given me an
ida.- :::;:f y-- .j., -: :.
My suggestion for a new name for
the. column is 'Ark Write. Bonney Wins
low." Now, really, that i a very clever
notion--or we mifht call it Mr. Noah's
club, 'cause every animal that ever was
or is came out of the Ark, so to satisfy
alt hands we'll call It Paws and Claws
half of the time and Noah's Ark Post
the other half.;
The Forgetful Poet just stuck his head
in and asked why a torn cat was like a
man. I gave it up right away and. what
do you 'spose he said? : .
- "Because he's a purr-son l- Now what
shall we do to that-Forgetful Man if he
keeps making puns?. We'll make him a
member of Ark, that's what we'll dp.
The animals have many things to be
thankful for just at present. ' They don't
vwear clothes or shoes, so the H. C. of I
does . not worry them. Not many of
them require houses of any sort, and I
don't believe nests or holes; in the trees
or burrows or- mouse tenements will go
up for a long time. Dog houses may ad
vance and barns and such but the wood
and field folk, need not worry Just yet.
I heard a Uttls bumblebee
A-busxing 'tother day'
''It's almost half past June, you know.
And more than half past May!"
(And I should say 4t was.)

Poor-Mr. Worm! To tell the truth,

I 'spose it's all for the best in the long
run. And a 'long run it surely is for
him to keep out of danger.
.Every once in a while we read about
a giant "turtle.; One was brought in
from the Maine coaast recently that
scientists declare had lived for 600 years.
But after 500 years of freedom at sea
it could not accustom itself to captivity
and died in five days, which seems a
great pity., Eagles, crocodiles, elephants
and turtles hold the record for long
lives among the animal peope. Many,
many turtles are captured annually for
their oil and sheltr They are also used
for food and fertiliser, so -that not all
have an opportunity to enjoy their full
ouu years or lire.-x
For a time it looked as if the automo
biles would push man's good friend, the
horse, into the far corner, and leave
him no way to earn his living. But
slowly he is coming back into his own,
especially on the farms. The tractors
and other farm machinery are fine for
large farms, but for the small f arm.
the horse is the most dependable ally.
He lasts longer and doesn't need so many
tires, doesn't get stuck in the mud and
when he is through plowing he can be
used for hauling and other odd jobs
that the tractor simply - could not fit
into. Imagine a tractor taking the
vegetables to market ' For small fields
the horse is better than the tractor. So
even on large farms horses are kept in
reserve for thetime when the tractor
gets out of order Another item in
favor of the horse is that while he is
useful all the year, the tractor, after
the plowing, harrowing and cultivating,
stands idle and does nothing to help pay
Its expenses. So the horse is still sure
of his comfortable corner la - the big
farm. -

It was quite two inches long, and the
