was to bo upon the Ostrich pair
at tiie 7 . 00 .
Billie Brownie was always much
amused by Mr. and Mrs. Ostrich.
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

tliem pleased and comfortable.
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.

“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,

“ 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

“ 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

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

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. Efficiency In dally toll de
mands that we “ Uo not beyond this
