He thought their wuys were Inter­ esting and he alwuys liked to heur about them. Then, too, he always liked to tell everyone he could that ostrich feath­ ers meant unhappiness and tragedy In the lives of birds.

But this time that lie went to see Mr. and Mrs. Ostrich lie could see from the moment of Ids arrival that they were each In a funny frame of mind and Billie knew lie would enjoy himself. “ We haven’t large brains," said Mr. Ostrich, "but we have a line system for nil that.” “Tell me uhout It,” urged Billie Brownie. “ Our brains are small In size," said Mrs. Ostrich, “ and my mate Is quite correct when he says wlmt he does. But wo have enough brains for our purpose. “ I f we had more brains we'd hove to study and keep our brains up to the murk. “That would lie n nuisance. Thank­ ful I am that our hrnlns are no more trouble to us than they ore. UM Martha Martin “To some, It would appear, brains are a great bother. “ Yes, our system Is fine. Mr. Os­ trich was right uhout that, too. "W e take turns In hatching the eggs. I sit upon them In the daytime for my gray costume looks like the sand In the daytime and so protects me,” Mrs. Ostrich explained. “ A good Idea," said Billie Brownie. “ And I sit at night and wutch out for them then as I wear a black feathered suit which looks like the night," said Mr. Ostrich. “That does sound like a perfect system," agreed Billie Brownie. "Neither of us Is cowardly when It comes to protecting our young," Mr, Ostrich continued. “ I will hurry the brood away while Mrs. Ostrich will face the enemy and fall down as though there were no more life In her and so It makes the enemy feel It Is useless to do anything, "W e have good eyesight. Our hear Ing Is our next best sense and smell lug conies third. We really only use this sense In feeding and In recogniz­ ing our young. “ Some say It Is a strange way of knowing one's children, but then It does for us, so why should we over­ tax our brains and think of other ways?” “ It would he foolish,” said Mrs. Os­ trich. “ But I hope In lime people will stop saving I hide my head In the sand when I'm frightened. “ I fall down and have m.v head quite close to the sand— but I don’t hide It. People have thought It was hidden be- cause my head and the sand are so much alike In color. “ And the story has been passed along. And gossip has kept It going. “ I may have a small brain, but I know enough to know that my body Isn't safe Just because my head might he hidden—and so I don’t hide my head. “ Oh. well. I’m above getting mad even If I'm gossiped about.” “ That Is very wise of you.” said Billie Brownie, “ for I must admit that while I know It Is foolish, I feel a lit­ tle hurt nt anything said about ine that Is not kind. “ You are far more sensible, Mrs. Os­ trich. “ But I’ve been delighted to have heard your stories and to have had the honor and pleasure of this talk.” "How very, handsomely you make your departure," said Mr. Ostrich, as Billie Brownie made a low bow upon finishing his speech. And Mrs. Ostrich added; “ You show a fine and respectful manner toward the happy Ostrich pair. "It mukes our ostrich hearts re­ joice!" (C o p y r ig h t .)

AMES ATTORNEY-AT-LAW M A N ’S RIGHT TO REST normal moral character. “ Nerves” and "morals” are almost interchange­ able words. Much of the crime In the world today cun lie traced directly to fatigue. When fatigued, people will do things, and think thoughts which at u later time they would give any­ thing to be able to recall. One faces a crisis in an hour when resistance Is at its lowest ebb, and the character not bong; sufficiently reinforced, a crime is committed. Many a fatigued parent assumes an attitude towurd a child which not only destroys for the time being the peace of the home, but produces a serious effect upon the de­ velopment of tiie child from which he may never recover. Fatigue Is a warning signal. As the danger signal In the tower wurns the engineer that the track Is not clear, so fatigue is nature’s warning signal call­ ing for relaxation and restoration. Fatigue Is uu Important factor with which we must reckon in our efforts to solve the problem o f crime. No fatigued person can he at his best. A fatigued man Is a poisoned man, not only physically hut spiritually and morally. No fatigued person can be normal In the field of uioruls. Clear demonstrations have been made of the serious results of nervous overstrain In which the brain and psychic cen­ ters are Involved. An overtired per­ son is literally a poisoned person. The toxins of fatigue must be expelled. Man Inis a right to rest ns well as to work. He owes it to himself and to so d efy to do away with the exhaustion resulting from overstrain In the moral as well ns the psychic spheres, and thus conserve constructive power for character building. In order to effect a cure for fatigue drugs are ns per­ nicious ns they are Ineffective. The Improvement must come from within. Self control enables a man to master his environment nnd not he mastered by It. “ Self-control Is directly pro­ portioned to the amount of surplus nervous energy.” Self-control Is an­ swerable to will power, and will power Is governed by the higher psychic cen­ ters. The element of strain Is a very Important factor In balancing forces against the laws of competition and resistance.
