TRAVELETTE
The White Elster.
BY NIKsAH.

The White Elster Is a typical Euro
pean mistake for a river. AS rivers go
the White Elster is weak in the legs.
knock -kneed, pigeon-breasted. narrow
shouldered. with a retreating chin anu
recessive forehead. In America it
| would be called a brook never by
any enthusiasm more than creek.
The people of Europe do not seem able
| to make the distinctions of river,
creek, brook and rill. Otherwise they
would have named the White Elster
Crippled Creek" while many of the
other rivers" which they now have
upon their maps they would not have
bothered naming at ALL
There is a certain river which runs
through Cassel which has probably
done more to age American tourists
lprematurely than any other one thing.
There is Cor there used to be, at leasi)
| a certain sentence in Baedeker's deal
| ing with the sights in Cassel, which
noted that the Orangerie was to be
reached in a certain direction from 4
bridge over a certain river. Many an
American has stood on the bridge in
question all night long spying around
to find the river. while underneath MN
rippled and smiled the darlingest little
rill-let that ever trickled it's way from
a dripping hydrant out into the big.
cruel world A two-year-old baby could
Jump across this river backward.
While the White Eister - CONSIDER
of Cassel, it nevertheless. does not
come up to the American definition.
Even where it sprawls all over itself
and becomes nearly sixty feet wide its
depth of from two inches to two feet
is against it. Yet, some German native
of its banks has written heroic poem
Concerning the mighty, rushing torrent
Of the Elster After visiting the river
one feels that this person decidedly
|overstepped the bounds of poetic
license. one feels that it was unmanly
to malign this consumptive little
stream as a savage torrent, nor can
one see how the brave youth who res
cued his sweetheart could have fought
such a fearful fight. All he had to do
was to hold her hand while they waded

Swapping horses is only one kind Of a

Lots of people pray for the poor

In after years a man may regret the
fact that he attended his own we'd

The more children a woman has the
fewer theories she has about rearing
them.
Think before you act is a good
motto, but lot of people think and
then fail to act.
Unless a man who claims to have
religion uses 1t in his business, he has
the wrong brand.
You can't convince the owner of

Sammy Jay Wishes He Hadn't
Been So Hasty.

Never be like Sammy Jay.
Because, you know. II doesn't pay.
Go ask him IL it isn't true.
And hear what Sammyll say to YOU.
With all his might Sammy Jay wished
that he hadn't been so hasty in making
up his mind that Old Man Coyote had
gone away. and especially that he
hadn't been in such hurry to tell
everybody He felt that he didn't want
to meet any one now, for every one
knew by this time that Old Man Coyote
hadn't gone away. Either they would
laugh at him for being SO easily fooled
or else they would think that he had
told a wrong story purposely. and you
know Sammy hasn't the best name in
the world, anyway.
So he sat in big hemlock tree in the
Green Forest, not knowing what to
do with himself until at last he grew
so hungry that he just had to go out
to look for something to eat. Sammy.
like the rest of the little feathered peo-
pie, cannot go very long without food.
Hardly had he started forth when he
saw Chatterer the Red Squirrel. He
tried to dodge out of sight. but Chat
terer's eyes are very bright and quick
He saw Sammy almost as soon as
Sammy saw him.
"Ho! no. how shouted Chatterer. "If
Old Man Coyote has gone away why
didn't he take his voice with him? Tell
me that, Sammy Jay"
Sammy didn't say a word He couldn't,
because he hadn't anything to say. He
just hurried on. AS he passed the
corner of the Old Orchard who should
spy him by Johnny Chuck.
What did Old Man Coyote promise
you to tell us that he had gone away"
shrilled Johnny, angrily.
HE didn't promise me anything. l
made a mistake, that's ALL" snapped
Sammy. and hurried on. Pretty soon
Peter Rabbit caught sight of him.
STORY teller! Story teller" called
Peter.
"Tm not, eitherw screamed Sammy.
IT really thought that Old Man Coyote
had gone"
Better know and not merely think
next time" advised Peter.
Danny Meadow Mouse was the next
to see him, but Sammy didn't wait to
hear what Danny had to say. 1t was
Just as we'll He wouldn't have felt
any more comfortable If he had. You
see. Danny is one of the very little
people who have to always be on the
watch to keep out of the way OF Old
