day. Necile was disturbed
presently TO find him too big TO lie in
her lap, and he had a desire for other
food than milk His stout legs carried
him far into Burzee's heart, where he
gathered supplies of nuts and berries
rs we'll as several sweet and whole
some roots, which suited his stomach
better than the bell udders. He sought
Needles bower less frequently, until
thither only to sleep
The nymph who had come 10 love
him dearly. was puzzled to comprehend
the changed nature of her charge and
unconsciously altered her own mode or
life to conform TO his whims. She fol
lowed him readily through the forest
paths, as did many of her sister
nymphs, explaining as they walked all
the mysteries Of the gigantic wood and
the habits and nature of the living
things which dwelt beneath its shade.
The language of the beasts became
clear to little Claus, but he never could
understand their sulky and mOrose
tempers. Only the squirrels, the mice
and the rabbits seemed to possess
cheerful and merry natures, yet would
the boy laugh when the panther growl-
ed and stroke the bears glossy coat
while the creature snarled and barred
It's teeth menacingly. The growls and
snarls were not for Claus, he well
knew, so what did they matter?
He could sing the songs of the bees,
reeite the poetry of the wood flowers
and relate the history of every blink
ing owl in Bnrzee, He helped the Ryls
to feed their plants and the KNOCKS TO
keep order among the animals.
One dry the Master Woodsman came
back to the Forest Of Burzee. He had
visited, in turn. all the forests through
out the world, and they We're many
and broad.
Z Not until he entered the glade where
the Queen and her nymphs Were as
sembled TO greet him did Ak remember
the child he had Permitted Necile to
adopt Then he found. sitting famil-
iarly in the circle of lovely immortals,
broad shouldc"ed, stalwart youth
who when erect stood fully as high as
the shoulder of the Master himself.
Ak paused, silent and frowning. TO
bend his piercing gaze upon Claus. The
clear eyes met his own steadfastly, and
the Woodsman gave sigh of relief as
lie marked their placid depths and read
the youths brave and innocent heart
Nevertheless as Ak sat beside the
fair Queen, and the golden challce,
filed with rare nectar, passed from
lip TO lip, the Master Woodsman was
strangely silent and stroked his beard
with thoughtful melton.
With morning he called Claus aside
In kindly fashion, saying:
bid goodby for time to Necile and
her sisters, for you shall accompany me
on my journey through the world"
The venture pleased Claus, who
knew well the honor of being compan-
ion of the Master Woodsman of the
World But Neclle wept for the first
time in her life and chung TO the boys
neck as If she could not bear to let
him go. The nymph who had mother
ed this sturdy youth was still as dain-
ty. as charming and beautiful as when
she had dared to face Ak with the
babe clasped TO her breast, nor was
her love less great Ak beheld the two
clinging together seemingly as brother
and sister to one another, and again he
wore his thoughtful look.

KANGAROO HUNTING,
A Dangerous Sport In Which Thick
Breastplates Are Worn.

Tiger skins, elephant tusks, antlers
and a dozen other trophies decorated
the smoking room of the huntsman.
You can't guess what this is" he
said, and he took down from the wall
piece of curiously woven mating. It
was about two feet square, green in
color and five inches thick.
"This," he explained, "is the breast
plate that is worn in kangaroo hunting.
Without it the kangaroo with a fore
leg blow would smash in your chest as
though it were pasteboard box This
breastplate is souvenir of an exciting
kangaroo hunt in Australia.
"All big game enthusiasts are ia
miliar with tiger shooting, elephant
shooting, the chase of the grizzly, of
the boar and of the hippo, but I know
few men who have ever hunted kan
garoos.
"Yet this is an exciting and danger
GUS sport. The kangaroo when he is
brought to bay will fight. He jumps
straight at you, like a great cat, and
with his small fore legs he aims at your
chest two tremendous blows-frst the
right and then the left-and these
blows, with speed and an accuracy
that no prizeighter could equal, would
kill you if they landed ON an unpro-
tected surface. So you wear, for a
protection, this thick green guard WOW
en- of native grasses by native women.
"You hunt the kangaroo in 'sets.'
Eight huntsmen compose a set, and
each set employs half a dozen native
runners to stalk the kangaroo.
'The kangaroo, on being stalked.
comes tearing over the plain straight
at you. He travels with the speed of
an express train, and he makes great
bounding leaps. One minute he is
crouched on the grass, the next he is
ten feet up in the air, and all the while,
remember, he is going forty miles an
hour.
"Hence he is mighty difficult OBJ
ject to shoot. If you fail to shoot
him, and there is no tree handy, then
you must put your trust in your mat
ting breastplate. This breastplate Of
mine, you notice, has a dent in it,

PlTH AND POINT.

Lots of worthy people are not popu-
lar. There's your case, for example.
Talk about rut all you please, some
men are never any good out of one.
The second time a man calls on
clever girl she tells him she knows his
step.
Youth deals in fancy; age, in facts.
All false teeth are made to look too
young.
Before saying that you think forty
is old remember there may be some
one present who is at least forty-one.
You are getting old when people be-
gin to say that you have money hidden
around somewhere. They never accuse
the young of hiding money.
There is saying "Get busy" It ap-
plies to idle, shiftless men. But there
should also be saying ''Get lazy" It
would apply with force to some men
who work too much.-Atchison Globe

BIRTH OF THE BUS.
This Class of Vehicle First Appeared
In Paris In 1862.

This Class Of Vehicle First Appeared
In Paris In 1862.
The omnibus appeared in Paris in
1862 as "carrosse cling sous coach
for twopence halfpenny), by authority
OF Louis XIV, under the management
of Pascal, the mystic and philosopher.
Whether this eminent thinker originat-
ed the idea is not clear, but there is no
doubt that his influence assisted in the
establishment of the service under the
auspices of a royal decree.
Later on these earliest omnibuses
ceased to run owing to lack of support,
and did not reappear in Paris until
1927, when LATTE, the banker, who
was among the largest proprietors,
was credited with originating the re-
vived service.
The new coaches started to ply in
London on July 4, 1929, when the first
one left Paddington for the Bank of
England, and another ran from the
bank to the Yorkshire Stingo, New
road. These first British buses were
known from the man who organized
them as "Shillibeers," and the conduc-
tors of the first two are said to have
been the sons Of British naval officers.
Three horses drew them, and they car
ried twenty-five passengers, all inside
London Standard.

HATS OF STRAW.
China Gets the Credit For HAVING
First Made Them.

China Gets the Credit For Having
First Made Them.
The earliest makers OF straw hats
were unquestionably the Chinese.
Their work was by no means rough
In character, but plated and sewn to-
gether with considerable skill, as may
be seen today in the neighborhood of
Canton.
In Europe hats were first made in
Paris by Swiss so early as 14O4, and
we find mentioned among the entries
Of an inventory of the effects of Sir
John Fast0lfe, 1859, flour strawen
hattes," showing them to have been
great rarities. Coryatt mentions them
as worn in Provence, with a hundred
seams, lined with silver and curiously
worked. -
Tuscany, with Leghorn as a center,
took up the work early in the fifteenth
century and has maintained it with
considerable skill ever since Bedford
shire, with Dunstable and Luton as
centers, has been the headquarters Of
the industry in England ever since the
early part of the seventeenth century.

AT BUENA VISTA.
The Only Preparations General Tay-
lOr Made For Defeat.

The Only Preparations General Tay-
1or Made For Defeat.
Santa Anna was the greatest military
leader the Mexicans have ever known
Santa Anna with 5000 veterans went
to the battle Of Buena Vista with the
avowed purpose Of exterminating the
entire army Of the United States, and
there was no doubt in the mind Of
Santa Anna that this great feat could
be accomplished with comparative
ease. General Taylor, with his 5000
men, prepared for the unequal contest,
and not only defended himself success
fully, but won substantial victory
from his aggressive antagonists and
drove them from the battlefield Of
Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought
and the Mexican war concluded Gen
eral Taylor was criticised for having
made no preparations for the retreat
Of his army in the event Of defeat.
General Taylor promptly replied: 81
made every preparation necessary for
the battle of Buena Vista. I wrote my
will, and so did nearly every man in
my army. If we had not won that
battle, we would have needed no lines
Of retreat. It was, from our stand
point, victory or humiliation. The only
preparation necessary for the contin-
gency of defeat at Buena Vista was
that we should write our Wills"

A Story of Matt CARPENTER.

Matt Carpenter, the famous Wis
consin senator, was pleading case be-
fore the supreme court. Before he had
got half through with his argument the
judges had made up their minds that
his case was without merit, and, more
over, that he was unprepared. When
he finished his argument and counsel
for the other side got up to reply, the
judges whispered to each other, nodded
and then the chief justice said, II don't
think it will be necessary to hear from
you, sir" Carpenters opponent was
deaf, and he could only tell that the
chief justice was addressing him. He
turned to Carpenter for aid. what
did the chief justice say, MATTE" he
whispered "He said he'd rather give
you the case than listen to you," Car
penter bawled in his ear.

An incident Of the Austro-P russian
war of 1866 was told as follows by the
Archduke Joseph: ION our retreat be-
fore the advance of the Prussian
army" said the archduke, 1--WE camped
in the neighborhood of a Bohemian
town. I was lodged in peasants cot
tage when about midnight I heard the
sentry challenging some newcomer.
My adjutant entered and reported that
gypsy wanted to see me in private.
A soldier Ga gypsy entered, and on my
asking what was the matter he told me
that the enemy was approaching to
surprise us.
"'The outposts have not heard any
thing suspicious I said. No, your
highness, because the enemy is still a
long way off, But how do you know
this?' asked. Come to the window,
your highness,' answered the man. DO
you see those birds flying over the
wood toward the south? Yes, 1 see
them. What, then?' What, then? Do
not birds sleep as we'll as men? They
certainly would not fly about if they
were not disturbed. The enemy is
marching through the wood and has
frightened all those BIRDS
every we'll, my lad. You can co.
l at once ordered the outposts to be re-
enforced and the camp to be alarmed.
An hour later the outposts were fight
ing with the enemy, and our camp was
only saved by the keen observation Of
simple gypsy"
