A Strange Tea Story

= ERE is one of the strangest stor-
les you ever heard-and about tea,
- too. that you see Grandma and
Mamma drinking so often right in
your own home. OF course it isn't
true-you and / know better than
that-but way back in the days of the
long ago when people handed down
legends from father to son and be-
lieved In them. this story about the
origin of tea was listened to with awe
and Arm belief in Its verify.
A Buddhist priest name Daruma,
son of a king, SO the story runs. re-
tired to the outskirts of a small vii
lage to spend Ave years in prayer and
meditation. He purposed to keep
awake the whole of the time but
finally sleep got the better of him and
he succumbed. On awakening. he
was so despondent that he straight
way cut off his eyelids. In order that
his eyes could never again be able to
close. and flung them on the ground
before him. Immediately. the legend
has 1t, the eyelids were transformed
into the first tea plant that ever grew.
And from that day onward, 1t was
believed that tea was beverage sent
from Heaven to ward Off sleep and
make 1t possible for pious Buddhist
priests to keep their vigils without
sleeping. Now. tea certainly cannot
do all that, but 1t does keep you
awake-there Is no doubt about It
So the next time your Mamma tells
you that you cannot drink tea before
going to bed because it will keep you
awake. remember this little story and

"Then, another closed in over his

neither team would have decidedly the
best Of 1t when it came to the pitch
ing.
The two infields stacked up we'll,
side by side. Each was as much of
stone-wall as the other. And the
outfields-well-from the Red Lot
viewpoint there was to be found the
deciding factor. For, while it's out
gardeners were no better fielders or
batters than those of the Oak Centers,
it did boast Swiftly" Millen, who stole
bases with the daring of a Ty Cobb
and could circle them like the wind.
In answer to this argument, the
Oak Centers replied confidently:
well, he's some base-runner, all
right, but you just wait until he tries
to get a lead on 'Snappy Williams.
Humph! Why 'Snappy is a wonder
at holding a runner on first. He's got
the most deceptive motion toward the
plate - without being a balk you
ever saw Believe us, If Swiftly
doesn't want to be caught fiat-footed,
he'd better stick mighty close to the
bag!"
And now 1t was the seventh inning
of the great game.
And Swiftly Millen was on first
base. having been given a base on
balls. The captain of his team, Bud"
Allison reposed on third base, eager
for a chance to "get home.'

There was a whirring, in the air

and freeing BIN ble-B Bundle from his
bonds! Black Spiders laugh froze in
his throat as he was knocked to earth,
spinning out behind him as he fell
a thin skein of webbing, as spiders
always do.
And, you may be sure, Bimble-
Bundle tapped his wings-a thou
sand times quicker than you can bat
your eyes-and scared up into the air.
But, presently, he became curious to
know who 1t was had delivered him
from the hungry nav of Black
Spider. So he swung back again by
the rose-bush, being mighty careful
to keep away from the broken, dang
