I t Is suggested th a t the way things
are going now, some bond houses may
change tbe signs on the doors to read
“ Stock and Bond B rokers,” which re
calls the story o f the man who opened
« bucket shop In the W e s t
“ W hat kind o f a sign do you want
on yo u r dpor?” asked the sign p ainter
engaged to do the w ork.
“ Ob, Just John Sm ith, B ro ke r,” re
plied the bucket shopper.
“ Why don’t you make It ‘Banker
and B roker?’ ” suggested the enter
p risin g sign painter.
“ IIo w much w ould It cost?” inquired
Smith.
“ About $2,” replied the painter.
“ Go to It,” Instructed B ro ke r Smith.
“ Who w ouldn’t be a banker fo r 22?” —

Sheep are branded w ith paint and
not w ith hot irons as ca ttle are. The
fleece grows out so th a t hot-iron
brandings w ould be covered up. Sheep
must be branded every tim e they are
fleeced. Tbe branding o f sheep la
more common In the range countries
than In the fa rm states, as sheep are
usually kept under fence on farms,
and there Is not much need o f brand
ing. Special branding p a in t should be
used Instead o f Just any kind o f ta r
o r barn p a in t, so as to reduce to a
m inim um tbe trouble o f scouring tbe
wooL M anufacturers p re fe r th a t tbe
brand be placed on sheep where the
wool Is o f the least value, such as
on top o f tbe rump.
G re a t Snakes!
Puddeu’s spider Is descended from
spiders w hich dw elt up our way and
learnt tbe tric k from the carpet
snakes.
Old ma carpet snake stands on her
ta ll stra ig h t on end. H er young ’uns
clim b up the old g irl and dispose them
selves at In te rva ls In a first-class Im i
ta tio n o f a dry shrub. As birds settle
on this In v itin g roost they are affec
tio n a te ly embraced by the w riggler,
borne to earth and devoured nt leis
ure.
There was a dickens o f a row when
our dog chased a couple o f cats up the

o f S w p e ra titio n
T he word “su p erstitio n ” Is derived
from the L atin “su p erstltlo ,” excessive
religious belief, possibly originally a
standing over a thing In am azem ent or
aw e ; frdtn “su p erstn re," to stand above
or over. S uperstition Is closely allied
with the so-called ethnological phenom
ena known ns survivals. Among the
ancient peoples—ns. for Instance, the
A ssyrians— It was part of the official
sta te religion to prophesy concerning
th e fu tu re from the flight of birds, tbe
nu tu re of dream s and sim ilar occur
rences, and w here such,, custom s an d
the correlated beliefs persist they may
be regarded as survivals. Among them,
p erh ap s th e kimst p etslste n i J n . the
country d istric ts is the belief In ghosts
and lu the Influence of the-m oon. In
p a rts of Eurojie tbe effects of tbe "evil
eye” are still feared, w hile In the
United S lates the horseshoe, caul,
four-leaf clover, etc., are still regarded
as emblems of good luck.

N ine tenths of the b rig h t sayings of
children are duds, w hich Is u n fo r
tunate, because once In a w hile a child
achieves something d ro ll or strikin g .
As, fo r example, th e child who had
been out in tbe fa m ily ’s new car and
had seen tbe windshield cleaner work.
I t waa one o f those cleaners that clean
• se in l-d rcu la r space on the window In

he was taken fo r n d rive was rainy
and the w indshield began to steam up.
