THE FISHING QUTFIT. You may talk of stylish raiment, Yon may boast your broadcloth fine, lAnd the price you gave in payment May be treble that of mine. But there’s one suit rd not trade you Though It’s shabby and it’s thin, Fof the garb your tailor made you; That’s the tattered, Mud-bespattered Suit that I go fishing in. , There’s no king in silks and laces And with jewels on his breast With whom Awould alter plaeesr There’s no man so richly dressed Or so like a fashion panel That his luxuries to win I would swap my shirt of flannel And the rusty Frayed and dusty Sult that I go fishing In. *Tls an outfit meant for pleasure. It Is freedom’s raiment, too; It’s a garb that I shall treasure Till my time of life is through Though perhaps it looks the saddest Of all robes for mortal skin, I am proudest and I’m gladdest In that easy bld and greasy Suit that I go fishing in.

Last Night’s Dreams

—What They Mean

DID YOU DREAM OF FALLING? THIS is one of the standard or typical dreams and one over which the scientists have expended a vast amount of “gray matter.” They are generally dreams of peculiar vividness. Lucretius —55 B. C., the celebrated Roman philosopher, In his work on psychology speaks of this dream and Cervantes in “Don Quixote” makes the innkeeper’s daughter say that she has many times experienced this dream and awakened to find herself as weak and shaken as if she had really fallen. Some think that the classic myth of the fall of Icarus Into the Icarlan sea originated in a dream of this kind by some ancient Greek. Havelock Ellis Is Inclined to attribute this dream to purely physical causes. He thinks it may be due to the fact that our respiratory action <breathlng) becomes depressed and at the same time the outer nerves of our skin are reduced to a sta'e of insensibility so that the skin becomes abnormally Insensitive to the contact and pressure of the bed “and the sensation of falling Is necessarily -aroused.” Freud, on the other hand, regards the dream of falling as purely psychological. It Is a dream repeating impressions from childhood. “What uncle,” says he, “has never played falling with a child by rocking It on his knee and then suddenly stretching out his leg, or by lifting It high and then pretending to withdraw the sup■port? Again all children have fallen occasionally and then been picked up and fondled.” The mystics accept the dream as one of direct symbolism. If you dream that you fall from a height and pick yourself up quickly you will attain to honor and riches. But if you igtay where* you fell troubles and losses threaten you. To wake up before you strike bottom, as many dreamers do, ■would appear to save the day for you. though this Is nqt quite so fortunate as to,dream that yon pick yourself up after the fall.

THE FARM TRACTOR THE farm tractor is an automobile which is minus the joy rider attachment. Nobody ever tried to take a joy ride on the corrugated iron seat of a modern farm tractor without having his spine caved in farther than the entrance to the grand canyon of Arizona. The mission of the farm tractor is to jerk four 16-lnch stirring plows over a cornfield without showing any spavins, ringbones or other signs of wear and tear. For many years the American farmer was obliged to rely upon the obedient but sway»backed work horse whenever he wanted to plow corn, and whenever the horse became indisposed or short of breath he had to be laid up for repairs and tinkered with by a veterinary surgeon at $2 per tlnk. Every once in a while a horse would die by leaning up against a bolt of lightning or as a result of eating something which was not Intended for his stomach. This made farming almost as expensive as feeding Russian prisoners in Germany. The farm tractor will do the work of six horses when it is hitting on all cylinders. It does not have to be harnessed, hitched up or bedded down, neither does it» stop In the middle of

Mystery

By GEORGB MATTHEW ADAMS

ONE of the most powerful Incentives in human life is the Mystery that Is locked away as a sort 01 Core, burled within every Thought every Aspiration, every Action. It is the Mystery, that you cannot understand, yet which exists In your Friend, that makes that friend Inter-, estlng; It Is the force of Mystery In your business that keeps you constantly at It, and for which you sacrifice and tirelessly work. It is the Mystery, all wrapped up in every manifestation of nature —it is the Mystery that hangs like a dense fog about the very thought of Eternity that makes It fascinating. It Is the element of Mystery entering Into every avenue of conscious' life that makes life really wonderful. It is the inspiration of Mystery that is able to immediately fire and warm four efforts and make ,your fondest dreams attainable, If you will but stop long enough to recognize this force and make it save you. Periodically stop and consider for a moment this factor in your Success. The two great Poles of life itself are bounded by Mystery—from Birth to Death, about,the only really unmysterlous thing in life is this —that Success and Honor and Happiness, surely follow Work well performed.

Prepare noodles —the home-made kind are much better for this dish: put ■ a layer of noodles in a baking dish, add a white sauce, using broth and milk, season well and cook until smooth. Put a layer of the sauce over the noodles, another layer of noodles and finish with buttered crumbs. Bake until the noodles are well done. Chicken broth or veal broth are especially good with this dish. 4 7 (Copyright. Ulf, W—<grn

FOX AND MR. BADGER

YOUNG FOX had never had a real home. He had lived in the tall grass near the marsh, where the ducks were often to be found, ever since he was old enough to take care of himself. But one day he thought It was time to take to the woods and find a home, so he started out tenement hunting. Of course he did not mind at all looking in at every place he found. There was Mr. Badger’s home; he looked in at that, but It happened that Mr. B. had not got up, so Mr. Fox decided not to tarry there. Mr. Old Rabbit had left his door open, too, and in there Young Fox looked, but as Mr. Old Rabbit was

still In possession, Young Fox looked further: “Oh! I’ll find some one away from home or some deserted home before long,” thought Young Fox as he trotted through the woods. It did not matter to him at all whether the house was vacant for good or not If only It was vacant' when he got there, for Young Fox did not like to build a home; it was too much work. He went Into Mr. Bear’s house, but he went right out as soon as he could, tor Mr. Bear looked well able to dispute with him, and Young Fox did not want trouble —he wanted to live in the woods. “Now this looks nice to me,” he said as he came to a place where there seemed to be no one at home, and after looking around Young Fox decided to stay, so he locked the door and pulled down the shades and went to bed. Now this place happened to be the home of another Mr. Badger —a very peaceful fellow —seldom away from home in the daytime, but this being a cloudy day he had gone for a stroll. When Mr. Badger returned and found his door locked, he began to wonder who was Inside, for as he peeked In at the keyhole, he could see that the key was In the lock. Now Mr. Badger had been locked out before, so he just got a ladder and climbed up to the chimney and slid down.

First he opened.the door wide and then he went to the bed and gave Young Fox a hart} shake. “Let me alone,” he said, opening one»eye to, make sure it was not Mr. Dog. “Get out of my bed,” said Mr. Badger; “this Is my house.” “Possession is nine points of the law,” replied Young Fox. “Do you see these marks, my. badge?” said Mr. Badger, pointing to the black stripe on each side of his white head. “Yes, I see them,” said Young Fox. “All your family are white-headed, all old, I suppose.” “I’ll show you,” said Mr. Badger, and with a spring he was on the bed and took hold of one of Young Fox’s ears, which was sticking up. “Oh! let go of my ear!” cried Young Fox, jumping up and trying to shake off Mr. Badger, but it was no use: his teeth were fastened in Young Fox’s ear for keeps. Young Fox ran to the door and out in the woods crying and jumping, but still Mr. Badger clung to his ear, and not until he was quite a distance from the house did he let go. When he at last unfastened his jaws he called after Young Fox, who was running: “That is why I got the

PRETTY TEETH TOO much emphasis cannot be laid upon the fact that the teeth must be given dally brushings and must be looked after by a good dentist every half year. Poor teeth will spoil the best shaped mouth, will ruin a smile. Teeth neglected so that they have to be pulled, cause hollows in the cheeks, and lines around the mouth, where the hollow gums shrink.

Children and babies who are allowed to suck their fingers usually grow up with protruding lips, badly formed jawbones, and receding chins. The receding chin and protruding teeth combination give a look of stupidity to the face that takes away any other good looks. A good dentist can remedy this, frequently, by gradually spacing the teeth so they grow straight instead of outward. In other cases, where the jaw is badly formed and the teeth are jagged, small wedges are put between, spacing the teeth away from each other, and so giving them room to grow properly. A few old-fashioned dentists still use gold Teeth decay and yellow because food particles collect, sour, form gases and
