BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN • •'' "V By THORNTON W. BURGESS

WHAT DANNY MOUSE WAS DOING ALL the time Nanny Meadow Mouse at home on the Green Meadows was worrying herself almost sick because Danny Meadow Mouse didn't come home,'Danny himself was too busy with his own troubles to even think of Nanny. He had been trapped In a hollow log by Billy Mink and then Billy had been frightened away by Mrs. Hooty the Owl, who had then flown away to hunt for a meal In another part of the Green Forest This had been Danny's chance to get out of that hollow log and he had made the most of It He had run his fastest until he just had to, stop for breath and to rest a little. You know Danny's legs are short, and though he can run fast for a short distance, he cannot ran far without resting. He crept under a pile of leaves to recover his breath and think what to do next. It Is hard work to think when you are out of breath. Danny found It so. When at last he had stopped panting he began to consider what to do next. Never had he

Twill have,to trust to luck.** thought Danny. “Yes, sir, I will have to trust to luck. Then* Isn't anything else I can do.** Just, then he heard heavy, shuffling footsteps. Now, who was coming? Danny's heart began to go pit-a-pat. as he peeped out from under the leaves. _ y* y. That in the early days-of baseball many of the batsmen must have been Babe Ruths.

What he saw made his bright little eyes almost pop out of his head and his head and his heart almost stopped heating. Shuffling along straight toward him was a huge black form. Never In hts life bad Danny felt quite so little and helpless. He knew who It was. There was no mistaking that great black fellow. ( It was Buster Bear. What to do Danny didn't know, so he did nothing. He simply crouched right where he was under that little pile of leaves and wished that be could shrink into nothing at all Yes. sir, that Is what Danny wished. Buster stopped and raked over some leaves with his great paws, at the same time sniffing among them with his nose. Every sniff sent a shiver over Danny. Buster picked up something and ate it What It was Danny didn't know, but he did know that if Buster should find a certain little Meadow Mouse under the leaves he would treat It in just the same way. Danny wanted to run. Never. In all his life had Danny wanted to run as he did right that minute. But there was nowhere to run to. He didn't know of a single hiding place. Buster Bear hadn't found him yet and didn’t know that he was anywhere about. If lie should run. Busier would be likely to see or hear him, while, if he sat still. Buster might not rake oyer that pile of leaves. So Danny sat still. © T. W. Burge**.— l ts?rv ScWlc*. •

In a discussion last Sunday 1 took the stand that every known commodity has gone up f ln price during the past ten years. Am I right? Sincerely, LILY BOQCET. Answer: You are not right Everything has gone up but writing paper; that will always remain stationery. Dear Mr. Wynn: $ I read In a newspaper some time ago about four Scotchmen who each put 25 cents In a pot as a wager. The bet was to see which of the four men could stay under water the longest and the one who did was to win the money. I have been unable to find out which Scotchman won the money. Can you tell me the result of that wager? Yours truly. SANDY- COMPLEXION. Answer: They all drowned. Dear Mr, Wynn: 1 go with some boys, and we are all around twelve years old.

The banana has still another quality which highly recommends 1L The thick skin which covers the fruit protects it against all contamination and makes it a most sanitary fruit The ripe banana Is easily digested.

nate accident blighting their lives. Usually they are harassed and unhappy because of forces within themselves which are Inimical to peace and happiness. I see women who have been more than fairly dealt with by Providence leading lives of constant friction because of the working in themselves of such qualities as jealousy, greed and suspicion. I believe it would be safe to say that for every woman who ft» unhappy because of some influence or event in her life that was beyond her control, hundreds are unhappy because of "little devils” In themselves—which a real effort on their part might exorcise. The woman who Is discontented as long as any woman of her acquaintance turn something that she cannot have, is certainly inhabited by an “evil spirit’* that is bound to make her miserable her whole life long. The woman who cannot be happy unless she is the center of attention and admiration has a very Important ‘devil" to deni with. Verily.

0 English Far in Lead in World’s Languages

How many people speak English today? It is hard to answer with any precision, bat an approximation is nevertheless possible. First let us list those to whom English is their native tongue. They run to about 112,000,000 in the continental United States, to, 42,000,000 in the United Kingdom, to 6,000,000 In Canada, 6,000,000 in Australia. 3,000,000 In Ireland, 2,000,000 in South Africa and probably 3,000,000 In the remaining British colonies and the possessions of the United States. All these figures are very conservative, but they foot up 174,000,000.

bom to some other language, live in English speaking communities and speak English themselves in their dally business and whose children are being brought up to it—say 13,000,000 for the United States, 1,000,000 for Canada (where English Is gradually ousting French), 1,000,000 for the United Kingdom and Ireland and 2,000,000 for the rest of the world—and you have a grand total of 191,000,000. Obviously, no other language Is the everyday tongue of so many people. Russian Is spoken as first choice by no more than 80,000,000 of the 150,000,000 citizens of the U. S. S. R.; the rest cling to one or another of the hundred odd lesser dialects in which the Bolshevik! are forced to print their official literature. German follows with a grand total of 85,000,000. Whether French or Spanish comes next Is in doubt, but neither can show more than 55,000,000. Italian is the runner-up, and the rest of the European langauges are nowhere. Nor is there any rival to English in Asia; for, though Chinese is ostensibly the native tongue of more than 300,000,000 people, it is sptSt into so many mutually unintelligible dialects that it must be thought of less as a language than as a group of languages. Thus English is far ahead of any competitor. Moreover, it promises to increase its lead hereafter, for no other language is spreading so fast or into such remote areas.—H. L. Mencken in Harper’s Magazine. MEXICAN SWAINS STILL HAVE TO PLAY THE BEAR The remoteness of Spanish America from European standards led to a tenacity in regard to old customs that exists to the present day. In certain parts of Mexico a young man will still steal his bride; but, as a rule, they hold to the old Spanish manner of courtship, which, although it has nearly died out In the mother country, still exists In Mexico for all classes. When a young man notices a girl whose looks charm him, either in the street with her dueuna or at mass, he follows her home, and then finds out from his friends about her people. Probably she has noticed his attention; and, if she likes It,' she finds some opportunity to smile

at him, or drop a flower; whence begins the part of courtship known as hacer el oso (to play the bear). He comes under her window every evening, and she leans over the balcony and talks with him. In that way, she has the opportunity to become acquainted more freely than In her severely chaperoned parlor. He may persuade a servant to take notes to her and! bring back her answers, all of which Is considered quite comme il faut, and is not necessarily binding. This goes on sometimes for months; and If the poor youth happens to strike the rainy season, it makes no difference; he must “play the bear,” rain or shine, even if he has to stand up to his knees in Water. If his daytime occupation takes him past her house at regular hours, there is further opportunity for a greeting, of which she is sure to take advantage. Finally, the suitor makes the acquaintance of the whole family; but, in accordance with the tradition of the Latin races, even after a formal engagement, the strict chaperonage by either a duenna or a balcony rail goes on until marriage. In serenade No. 56, which seems to have originated in the Spanish province of Asturias, the reference is obviously to this custom; for the girl comes to her balcony at the young man’s signal, and gives an answering whistle.—Washington Post Paradoxical A man may come out on top by getting in on the ground floor. f
