Long time ago. when the spry little
chipmunk darted across the camp
ground In the yellow sunlight OF a
summer morning the old men would
call to the little Indian boys not to
shoot their arrows at II.
''Ho! he is our friend" an old man
would say. and when the boys asked
why the chipmunk was their friend.
the old man would tell this story:
II was in the days when man began
to spread out over the earth and make
himself the ruler Of all the birds and
animals and insects. Whenever man
wanted a bird or an animal to eat or
worm to catch fish, he just went
and took II without asking.
So the birds. the insects and the
small animals called council to see
what they could do TO stop man from
taking their lives. II was a carrier
pigeon that took word to all that the
council was TO be held. and when she
got back from her long travels, the
carrier pigeon settled down in a patch
Of wild oats and began TO eat She
was so hungry that all she would say
TO those who asked her II all OF mans
enemies were coming was
You will have to get extra seats.
and put the thousand-legged centipede
at the door to count them as they go
into the council house,"
And sure enough when the grub
worm, who was chief OF the council.
took his seat at the east end OF the
council house and looked over all who
had come, he rubbed his hands in good
humor at the sight Of so many OF mans
enemies.
Now. II is time for you TO speak
and tell what you think about man.
said the grubworm. And first the frog
got up and spoke
Look at me, brothers" he said land
he spoke in a low, sad voice.. Il am
ugly and crippled. and all over. my
back you can see sores. can no
longer run fast. but have TO hop-hop

my throat 10 twisted 30 that my song
Is no longer sweet and clear. Man
has kicked me about 80 much that /
time TO remove man from the earth"
Then the black-legged snipe spoke
and told everyone why he wanted man
killed.
Il suffer worse than tho frog" said
the snipe. Man seizes me and runs a
sharp stick through me and holds me
over the fire until my very legs are
burned black and crisp. You all know
how hard II is for me to walk, how
have to go lettering along even on the
smoothest sand. Well, II man had
burned your legs and feet as he has
burned mine. you would know why |
vote to have man removed from this
earth"
So, one after another spoke and said
that they thought man ought to be
killed, and after each one spoke the
grubworm cried out:
That was a good talk, brother!"
Finally. the little chipmunk got up
and said that he would like to say a
few words about man; and the grub
worm told him to go ahead.
Il am the friend of man." said the
chipmunk first, and at that the ami
mails and birds and insects cried out:
We won't have him here-put the
chipmunk out!"
Man likes me-" said the chipnunk,
because I am yellow like the sunlight
and go flashing across the camp like
happy boys arrow. do not want to
be"
But the chipmunk did not finish the
sentence. for the animals and birds
and insects all rushed at him to drive
him out of the council The first one
TO reach him was the hawk, aud as
the hawk swooped toward him. the
chipmunk headed for the door.
But the hawks sharp claws raked
the back OF the chipmunk as he ran
and made stripes along his whole
length-and those stripes are there to
this day to show what the chipmunk
suffered for speaking up for man.

BRINGING UP CHILDREN MOST
IMPORTANT THING IN WORLD
Aed Yet How Few Have Studied
How TO Do II

Once on time there was n par
ent who believed that the way to
rear children was 10 rule them by
fear. The pet weapon Of discipline
in that home was lath with a nail
in IL. When young one did some
thing that the parent didn't like out
came the hath and there were
threats Of an awful punishment.
Result:
One child, a daughter, ran away
with good-f0r-nothing.
one son became a "sousc."
Another son got away from home
as soon as he could. and under the
guidance Of kindly uncle became
a fair sort ~ a man.
The lath-and- nail policy didn't
score a single victory.
You've no doubt met mothers who
are always ilbblng to their offspring.
II they're going out TO spend an ev-
ening. they don't say so frankly
they try Ia make the little ones be-
licvc that the absence is to be only

around the corner"
How does this policy work? Isn't
IT true that in the majority Of cases
the children find out that mother
didn't tell the truth and decide that
IL mother can III, they can. too?
Then, again, there is the policyof
overfondness. Of spelling indul-
gence. You know what that pro-
duccs-children selfish and self
willed. nuisances when young and

simply didn't grow at All! II took all
