ENCOURAGEMENT

NY Dears-As I invited your attention
once to encouragement. may | now ask
vou TO consider the word ENCOURAGE-
MENT and its meaning?
You will at once see our old friend
COURAGE (en-courage-ment. When a
person encourages you, he fills you with
more COURAGE. However, we should be
90 full of courage we do not have to LOOK
FOR encouragement, even though it does
help US somewhat.
II we wish encouragement we must EN-
COURAGE OTHERS, for what we seek Tor
ourselves we must bestow on others.
If some one by hard work becomes head
of your class, shy not tell him you are
glad to see him Cor her) in that envied
position? Expend the same effort (useless)
YOU are inclined to spend in being jealous
of YOUR superior in being downright GLAD
Think of this: You play just as I'M
portant a part in making Jimmie Jones head
of your class as Jimmie does himself For,
how could he be at the head II 1t were
not for the rest of the class? It's easy to
he head of the .cass when there is only
ONE in that class. Am l right?
Lovingly.

CHAPTER XI,-Continued

IN WE trudged for another TWO h'urS'
~ during which time the only living thihg
that / saw was a large owl which salled
round our heads as though to look at us
and then flew away ahead
This owl, Marut informed me- was. one
of "Jana's spies" that kept him advised
of all which was passing in this territory;
| muttered "Bosh" and tramped on sun
/ was glad that we saw no more or the
owl, for in certain circumstances such DARK
fears are catching.
We reached the top of a rise, and there
beneath us lay the most desolate scene that
ever | have seem At least IL wouiu nave
been the most desolate II | did not chance
to have looked on 1t before in the drawing
room of Bagnall Castle! There was no
doubt about ii. Below was the black,
melancholy lake, n large sheet or water sur
rounded by reeds Around but at con-
siderable distance, appeared the tropical
forest To the east Of the lake stretched n
STONY plain At the time | could make out
no more because of the uncertain light ana
the distance for we had still over mile
to go before we reached the edge OF the
lake.
The aspect Of the place filled me with
tremblings, both because of its utter un-
cannlness and because of the ineXplicable
truth that had seen it before. Most people
will have experienced this KIND OF moral
shock when, on going to some new land
they recognize a locality as being quite
familiar to them in all its details. Or 1t
NAV be the rooms of a house hitherto un-
visited by them. Or it may be conversa-
ton of which. when it begins, they already
foreknow the sequence and the end, because
in some dim state, when or how who can
say, they have taken part in that talk with
those sante speakers. If this be so even In
cheerful surroundings and among our
friends or acquaintances, 1t is. easy TO
imagine how much greater was the shock tc
me- a traveller on such journey and in
such a night
shrank from approaching the shores OF
this lake, remembering that as yet all the
vision was not unrolled, l looked about me
II we went to the left we should either
strike the water, or if we followed its edge
still bearing to the left, must ultimately
reach the forest, where probably We should
be lost. l looked to the right The ground
was strewn with boulders, among which
grew thorns and rank grass, impracticable
for men on foot at night. | looked behind

CUDDLEY BEAR AND THE BEES
By Farmer Smith

Cuddlev Bear lust couldn't stop thinking
how wise the owl had been, but, or course
he wouldn't say his mother was stupid no,
indeed, However, he felt very proud one
morning as he said, THE reason nave tur
is because l haven't feathers
Nrs Rear smiled one OF her sweetest
spiles and said softly to herself, II will
teach my young son lesson, so that he
will remember he has fur and forget all
about feathers" Then, out loud, MY dear.
have YOU seen that new bees nest up by
the sycamore tree? If you lie under it long
enough you might catch drop OF money
Mrs. Bear suddenly thought better OF her
idea, SO she warned, 81 would be very care
full about bothering the bees for they are
enemies of ours you know
"It seems to me that heard that word
enemies before,s' ventured the little fellow
"The wise old owl said something about
NV being an enemy of his Are bees our
enemies?"
"I shouldn't like to have even one tiny
bee in my fur" said Mrs. Bear, giving her
son a bear hug.
Cuddley Bears curiosity had been
aroused. and so he went out to hunt for
the bees nest, near the sycamore tree. He
law down on the soft moss under the tree
and waited. Finally he felt something drip
ming down on his ear, and, looking up, he
saw a drop Of honey falling right into his
mouth. -,-,,s,,

unset the bees nest. In minute the tiny
little shining bees swarmed around him.
They got In his ears
They got in his eyes
They got everywhere At least, II seemed
that way to Cuddley Bear who did not stop
10 ask questions or to wonder why he had
fur instead Of feathers.
Ua scurried home with his little stubby
tail held as close to his body as he could
hold A. His mother was waiting for him
as some mothers do, and all mothers do
when they fear something is going to happen
TO their children.
Mrs Bear didn't open the door. but threw
hot water out of the window on her son,
which made the bees beat a hasty retreat.
When everything was quiet again, Mrs.
Rsar went out TO look for what was left OF
cuddley, She brought him into the house
ana said to him slowly, MY dear, ]. don't
want 10 preach to you, BUT merely remind
vo,, that IF YOU had feathers the water
woo,d have run of your back and not stuck
IN your hair, and IF you had feathers you
would not be likely to enjoy honey. and

EXPECT EGGS TO CLIMB TO 81
Pittsburgh Dealers Look for Record
High Price, Due to Scarcity

PITTSBURGH, Feb 6.-Fresh eggs will
retail at 81 dozen In Pittsburgh before
the end Of the month. according to predic-
tions made by wholesale dealers and COM
mission agents These quotations will es-
tablish high record here.
Eggs are scarcer than they have been
for more than a decade" was the way a
Ferry street butter-and-egg merchant ex-
planned the situation. Both the fresh and
storage grades are hard to buy. Last Sat-
urday ] sent twenty-five telegraphic in
quiries to New Orleans, La. and other
places in the South and Southwest. Up to
noon today J had not received an answer.
When eggs are scarce in Louisiana at this
season of the year it Is certainty that
they are not plentiful anywhere"
