promises"
Il think you are a very bad man."
said Dorothy
"Oh, no, my dear; I'm really y very
good man; but I'm very bad Wizard,
must admit"
Cant you give me brains?" asked
the Scarecrow.
You don't need them. You are
learning something every day baby

Experience is the only thing that
brings knowledge. and the longer you
are on earth the more experience you
are sure to get"
That may all be true" said the
Scarecrow, but l shall be very un-

The false wizard looked at him
carefully

not much of magician as said; but

them, however; you must find that out

them, never fear!'
But how about my courage?" asked
the Lion, anxiously.
You have plenty of courage, l am
sure" answered Or. "All you need is
confidence in yourself. There is no
living thing that is not afraid when it
faces danger. True courage is in facing
danger when you are afraid, and that
kind of courage you have in plenty"
Perhaps l have, but I'm scared just

really be very unhappy unless you
give me the sort of courage that
makes one forget he is afraid"
Very well; l will give you that sort
Of courage tomorrow" replied Or.
How about my heart?" asked the
Tin Woodman.
