Ii Elacky the Crow didn't say this To
himself he thought ii. He knew that he
had made 4 very cunning plan to get the
eggs OF Tlooty the Owl. a plan So shreH-d
and cunning thai no one else in the
Green Forest or the Green Meadow would
have thought of Il. There was only. one
weakness in T. and that was it depended
for success on having 1lootS the owl do
as he usually does when he is tol1nented
by crowd ot noisy crcws-:;tay where
lie was until they got tired and new away.
Now. BlackS sometimes makes II Iuis
take that smart people very apt to
make. He thinks that because he is 50
smart other people are stupid. That is
where he proves that, smart as he is. he
isn't as smart as he thinks he is. He al
ways thought of Hooty the Owl as stupid
That is. he always thought Of bim that
way i'll daytime At night when he was
awakened out Of Il sound sleep by the
fierce hunting cry uf Hooty. he wasn't So
sure about IIoo;y being stupid. and he
always took care to sit perfectly still i'll
the darkness lest Hooty's great ears
should hear him and IIooty's great eyes
made for seeing in the dark. should find
him. No. in the night Biacky was not at
all sure that ITooty was stupid.
But in the daytime he was sure. You
see he quite forgot the fact thai the
brightness of day is to IIooty what the
blackness of night is To him So. be-
cause Hooty would simply sit still and
hiss and snap his bill instead Of trying
to catch his tormento,t or flying away.
BlackS called him stunid. So he felt
sure that Hooty would stay right where
he was now, and he hoped that Mrs
Hooty would lose her temper and leave
the nest where she was sitting on those
two eggs and join Hooty to help him
drive away tha noisy crew.
But Hooty isn't stupid Not a bit of it.
The minute he found out that Rlacky and
his friends had discovered him he thought
of Mrs Hooty and the two precious eggs

ENTERTAINMENTS

Reports of chautauqua entertain
ments from various towns over the
state show almost universal success
and great appreciation. The cut
door summer chautauqua is unques-
tionably a good. wholesome enter
tainment, enjoyed by many people,
particularly the women. 1t is a
week of. pleasant association for
them. and the men should be willing
to grant them this pleasure.
The man may enjoy his horse race
his ball game. his huntingdon go
and come as he pleases, without oc-
cassion or excuse The women stay
at home except when there is an
occasion for them to go. And in
smaller communities the occasion
must be created. In the big city
where everything is for the money
there is in it. a person just pays the
price and takes his or her choice.
In the small community entertain
ment must be created and fostered
by enterprising people without hope
of money reward, else the commun-
ity goes without.
And to have the various kinds of
entertainment which pleases differ
ent tastes it is wise and necessary
for all to help. If the man who
likes a ball game, for instance, re-
fuses to be interested in any other
kind of an entertainment. he should
not be surprised if people who like
some other kind of entertainment.
refuse to become interested in his
favorltc.
The better plan is to help them
all moderately, when properly con-
Quoted. And as the women have
plainly expressed their approval and
appreciation of the summer chau-
tauqua, the men should be generous
enough to help such entertainments.
The women are entitled to a share
of the pleasures of life. and the man
who refuses to grant them this
right, either individually in his
home, or collectively in his commun-
ity, is simply using his might to
CRAFTY unreasonable selfishness.
Give the women their share-even
if it does put 1.-The lord and master"
out a bit!
