THE PLODDER WHO WINS.

kers are the "smartest" people on

Take the "smart" girl. She seems
know everything on earth. She
esses louder than other girls. She
ways manages to wear something
at is "chic." She has the boys
lnging around her in groups. She
.lks in terms that the palmer girl
.nnot understand; but later on in
fe she will be found putting up a
rrific fight against time while the
ri who was not nearly so smart is
.cupying a position of dignity anG
" at the head of sensible home.
And as for the smart boy-the one
no "gets by" in manner the other
oys cannot understand, and who may
,r the time being be envied by the
her boys because of his foppish
,anners-he doesn't become the head
{ a prosperous business. 1t is the
fodder that seems to get there in the
nd-the boy who doesn't "catch on"
ute so rapidly as the smart boy.
robably not 1 per cent of the sue
essful men in the world today gave
ny evidence of having great ability

les do not make good. The excep-
.onal youngster in school seldom con-
uers after he has entered real life;
ut the plain fellow of common sense,
low to learn, slow to become en-
nused, slow to make companions and
low to give them up-the fellow who
ticks to job until it is finished, that
the fellow who in after life rules

obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is
immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of it's subter-
ranean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by the wandering birds,
propogated by the subtle agriculture
of the elements which are it's minis
tiers and servants, it softens the rude
outline of the world. 1t bears no bla-
zonry of bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or splendor, but its
homely hue is more enchanting than
the lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet, should its
harvest fail for single year, famine
would depopulate the world.

The Whale and the Elephant

Finally he found down the bank the
whale in the edge of the water. HI
sat real close to the water and said:
"Dear, kind Mr. Whale, you are the
biggest animal in the whole seas, yor
must be the king of the animals in the
sea-"
Indeed, 1 am" said the whale
"Well, them" said the rabbit
won't you help me?"
"Indeed | WILL" said the whale.
"Well," said the rabbit, my COW
is stuck deep in the mud and | just
tied one end around her and want
to tie this end Of the rope around you
and then l will go back and w1ch ev-
erything is ready l will beat my drum
that is in the bushes and wher beat
you pull, and the harder | beat, the
harder you pull. l am sure you can
pull her out"
'IndetJ | will" said the whale. Sc
the little rabbit ran eff to whore he
had the bag drum hid in the bushes
and when he got thee he began to
beat, "Eub-a-dub-dub, + In-a-dub-dub. .
And the whale began to pull and
the elephant began to pull, and then
the little rabbit beat faster and faster
and they both pulled harder and hard
er.
"My gracious" trumpeted the ele-
plant, "what tremendous big COW
that must be-"
Goodness me-" said the whale, 81
never felt such heavy COW as this
before" and they both pulled harder.
Then the whale dived down deep
into the water, sticking his tail in the
sand at the bottom, and in doing that
he made the elephant slip.
"Oh," said the elephant, "to think
that a COW could pull me this way
and he was angry and then he trum
peted. Then he pulled, and as he
pulled and got little more rope h,
threw his head around and wrapped
the rope around his trunk, thus pull
ing it up tighter, and then he gave
another pull and pulled the whale
out of the water.
Wrapping the rope around hi!
trunk again, he gave tremendous
pull and this time pulled the whalt
up out of the water until the whale
saw the elephant at the other end OF
the rope and the elephant saw the
whale at the other end of his rope.

"Well," said the whale, 81 will teacl

they each gave terrible pull and tn,

~ YING in the sunshine among

lions of May, scarcely higher
in intelligence than the minute
tenants of that mimic wilderness, our
earliest recollections are of grass;
and when the fitful fever is ended and
the foolish wrangle of the market and
the forum is closed, grass heals over
the scar which our descent into the

carpet of the infant becomes the blan-

ME upon IlHle Iue Wlidie
came up out of the water to
the edge of the land, and there
he found the elephant stand
ing. They fell to talking after they
had looked one another over, and this
is what they said:
The whale said to the elephant:
"You are the biggest animal on the
land. Kind elephant, pray, why don't
you be king of the land and rule it
all?"
"That l will be-" said the elephant,
throwing his trunk high into the air.
"And l." said the whale, Fam the
biggest animal in all the seas. | SHAH
be the king of the animals in the sea,
and together we two will rule the
world"
Now, while they were talking they
didn't see the little bit of a rabbit
that was tucked away in the bushes.
He sat there and listened to every
word they said and then to himself he
said:
"They will not rule me-"
He whisked out as soon as the whale
disappeared in the water and got him
self long, long rope. Then he got
great big drum, and he hid in the
bushes. Then he took his rope and
threw it over his little paw and hip
pity hop he went down to the bank
till he came to where the elephant was
standing.
The little fellow looked up at the
great big elephant and in his weak
voice he said:
"Dear Mr.. Elephant, kind Mr.. Ele-
plant, you are the biggest animal in
all the land, you must be our king.
81 am" said the elephant as he
trumpeted out the noise that made the
woods ring.
"WelI," said the weak little voice.
of the rabbit again, "since you are the
king and so strong, won't you help a
poor little bit of a rabbit?"
"Sure, l WILL" trumpeted the ele-
plant again, ''what can l do for
your" He was feeling very much fiat
tered to be called the king and the
strongest animal of the land.
"Well," said the rabbit, my cow
is stuck deep down in the mud, and if
you will only let me tie that rope
around my COW and the other end of
it around you, l am sure you can pull
her out of the mud"
"All right" said the elephant, and
he stood very still while the little rab-
bit fastened the rope tight around
him.
Taking hold of the other end of the
rope, the little rabbit went down the
bank after telling the elephant:
''When you hear me beat my drum
you will know that l am ready and
he harder l beat, the harder you
pull"

Non.Commital Verdict

The coroner's jury which investi
gated the death of 15-year old Rita
Pollard, who was found dead few
days ago with II bullet in her head
at her home in Gold Hill. returned
after II short deiberation with u
non commital verdict. 1t developed
during the hearing that the family
of the girl objected strennously to
the attentions paid her by George
Young, her sweetheart, who was in
the house with her at the time of the
alleged suicide, because he is not
employed regularly. On one occas-
ion the girls brother struck Young
who threatened then to kill him.
Yourg's testimony at the hearing
consradicted the story told by other
witnesses. Young has not been held.
