the Great Terrapin, they were not sure
that they could defeat the animals.
While they talked about what they
could do to win, two little animals, no
bigger than mice. came creeping up
the tree and sat down In front of the
eagle. They told the eagle that they
wanted to play on the side OF the birds.
But said the eagle, you have four
feet; you belong with the animals!'
Then the little creatures that the ami
mails had laughed at them for being
so small and would not let them play;
and the eagle took pity on the tiny
fellows and said that he would let
them play. But how about wings?
They all studied about how to get
wings for the two little mouselike
creatures. and then the hawk remem-
bered that they had a drum which
they used In the dance, and over the
head Of this drum was stretched the
thin skin Of a grounding. Why not
cut a piece of that skin and stretch 1t
on cane splints In the shape Of wings
and fasten the wings to the forelegs
Of the little fellows?
so the birds got one of the little
mouse-like creatures fitted with the
wings cut from the head of the drum;
but then they found that they had used
all the grounding skin they had. And
to make the other little fellow ready
to play some of the strong birds pulled
with their beaks at the skin between
its forelegs and its hind legs until 1t
was 80 stretched that the little fellow
could sail right across from one tree
to another.
THE one with the wings. the birds
called the bat, and the other was
called the flying squirrel. And when
the ball game began. both the bat and
the flying squirrel helped to win for
the birds. And among all the players
the bat was best because he could
dodge better than any of the rest.

IL was years before the relation OF
nerves TO marital happiness became
known To me.
1T takes the average man a long

Of which he knows little or nothing.

Long time ago. at the ball game, the
little boys would sit outside the play
ing ground with the old men SO that
the old men could tell them about the
plays, for each little boy believed that
when he grew older he would become
one OF the best ball players the In
dams ever had.
And when the play grew exciting,
and some young fellow was carrying
the ball down the ground swift as
light. lodging among the players like
some strong-winged insect. the old
men would cry out:
There goes the bat-watch him
twist and turn" And when the young
man had lost the ball and the game
was no longer exciting. the little boys
would ask the old men to tell them
why the swift dodger was called the
bat And the old men would say:
Once the animals and the birds
had a great dispute about which could
play ball best; and the dispute lasted
so long that the only thing they could
do to stop II was to fix q day for a
great game between them.
When that day arrived, the animals
all came together on a broad meadow
near the river. and all the birds gath
cred in the tops OF the trees close by.
For the animals. the Great Beaver was
captain. and on the way to the ball
ground he boosted about how strong
he was and what he would do to any
bird that tried to take the ball away
from him. To show how strong he
was, the bear threw big logs over his
shoulder.
And the Great Terrapin, who was
at that time as big as the bear. showed
how big and strong he was by rising
up and humping the earth until 1t
shook
up in the trees. the birds chose the
Great Eagle for captain and the swift
hawk for lieutenant. Both Of them
were brave and fine ball players, but

DO YOU pEsTER YOUR CHILDREN

In the July Woman's Home Com
panion Mary Heaton Worse writes a
most interesting contribution en-
titled Adventures in Childhood"
in which she tells many stories OF
the imaginative flights Of children
and makes many valuable practical
suggestions. In the following pas
sage taken from her article the au-
thor shows how some mothers pest
or their children:
some mothers, as soon as they
come near their children. pounce on
them and set about, as briskly as
possible. making them good. ln-
deed. there are a great many moth
ers who spend all their time max
ing their children over into different
kinds Of little children from the sort
they were born. This is very hard
on all Of them. aud the only thing
that really happens is that the child
grows shell to keep his mother
out, and grows up inside II IN peace,
but not nearly as nice and big as II
he hadn't any shell at all-sheils
are cramping things at best.
Not all parents do this, but there
is hardly a parent living who does
not greet his children with:

PUT NEW PUPIL IN BOY'S EYE
One Of Wonders Of Modern Optical
Surgery Recently Performed
Many People Wear Giassea

Every time you return from Europe
you are more impressed by the i'm
mense number Of Americans who wear
eyeglasses. We are q nation Of spec
tacled people.
l asked DIR. McCluney Radcliffe, who
In the last few years has examined or
operated upon 1900 eyes at the Wills
hospital. what single afiiiction IL re-
sponsible for most eyeglasses.
"Farsightedness," was his reply.
He told me also that the relative
number Of persons who wear eye
glasses is increasing. As q matter of
curiosity l subsequently counted the
specialized men who were sitting In
one large clubroom having lunch.
There were 20 Of them, while but Is
wore none.
All kinds OF surgical science IL I'm
proving. but none more rapidly than
that pertaining TO the human eye. Not
long ago Doctor Radcliffe put q new
pupil In the eye Of a boy who had been
suffering from an old injury.
The longer time which children must
now spend In school is believed to be
one important reason for the very
great number Of young persons who
wear eyeglasses But oculists insist
that while more people wear glasses.
the average sight Of all Americans Is
now better than ever.
A similar thing is true Of the human
tooth While far greater sum is now
paid to dentists than formerly. tho
average tooth is much better than that
of our forefathers. Both eyes and
teeth used to DO grossly neglected.

WHERE SLANG ORIGINATES

Almost every current slang word
or phrase originated with the Grim
inal or vulgar and has n very bad
meaning.
II is not well TO use anything
which habitually has evil associa-
ton.
That is one OF the strong indict-
ments against cards. A leading
authority on criminology says that
all criminals play cards. There is
scarcely an evil resort Of any kind
in the country where cards are not
played constantly. All gamblers
play them and they are associated
with all manner of vice.
So young folks Of clean lives and
fair names should avoid all slang.
People judge each other by their
speech. Ones thoughts are ex-
pressed by words.
OF course, 1t is possible that a
house with a rickety front gate, a
Uttered yard, soiled door, and win
dows stuffed with old rags, may be
clean and neat within. But you
never judge ii so in passing. In
the same way it is possible that one
who uses slang may be pure mind
ed, and have clean orderly thoughts,
but the indication points the other
