For a long minute Danny and

Danny that Mr. BlacksnAke was

hardly believe even now that Mr.
Blscksnake hadn't heard him as he
scampered back so suddenly that he
knocked Nanny Meadow Mouse over
But Mr. Blacksnake hadn't. and a.

Of this they began TO breathe easier.
Then they stopped shaking.

wake up and see them. Perhaps
this was the wisest thing 10 do. but
Il was also a dangerous thing. 10 do.
You see, Il meant leaving the safe
cover OF the bushes and grass along
the fence and going right out where
there was Nothing at all to hide
them.
They had safely passed the place
where Mr.. BlacksnAke lay and were
heading back toward the fence again
when Danny caught sight OF
shadow sweeping across the ground
Now a shadow wouldn't brighten you
or me. but Danny's heart Jumped
right up In his throat Al sight %
that shadow. He didn't have TO look
up In the air to know who made that
shadow. Danny knows the shadow

Green Meadows and OF every one
who walks there He has made IL
his business TO know shadows and
all about them.

Women and War.

Woman, according to legend and ro-
nance, becomes during the war the
sanity samaritan who ministers to
heroes wounds, but, according to a
report made to the London city mis-
sion, woman is really demoralized by
the loss of her protector and compan-
ion. Women carousing in public
houses, drunk and vile Of speech, have
now become common sight in the
poorer quarters Of London. The adj
mipistrators of the patriotic fund in
Canada have also found that great so

ing of women alone at the mercy of
landlords and others upon whom they
are dependent in financial straits.

MEXICAN LOVER HPLAYS BEAR

thence for courtship Is Slow and
Difficult Process.

This is the manner OF eourtship in
Mexico. says the World Outlook. 4
young man sees young lady on the
street whom he adrnires. and follows
her home Having reached her casa,
he begins to ''play the bear" by
walking back and forth in front of
the house or standing on the street
with his eyes fixed upon her windows,
for hours at time, day and night
alike.
The Mexican young woman is coy,
and, even if greatly interested, she
will remain back of the curtain. BY
the slightest movement of the cur
tains or blinds she gives sign that she
is not entirely Indifferent After a
day or two she may even show her
face or wave her hands as further
mark of encouragement, and, after
several days, she may appear on the
balcony for a few moments. If she
goes to church the lover is probably
not far behind, and an occasional
smile or glance from her eyes of mid
night is given him as reward for his
faithfulness. Next conc daily salutes
and smiles when the lover appears.
Flowers in which notes are concealed
are sent by tile aid of the water car
riers or charcoal vendors.
When the courtship has so far ad-
vanced that the lovers may talk, the
moonlight nights are devoted to the
love-making and several pairs of low
ers can be seen on almost any street

army surgeon, attended Linz in his last

"a wealthy brother Of the deceased
who lived in Chicago But the rail-
road company refused to receive the
casket unless the freight was prepaid
The doctor telegraphed to the Chicago
brother, who replied, refusing to remit
Thereupon the resourceful physician
had the front of the casket painted
and inscribed "In this casket reposes

Bad Habit.

Don't call the children kids. A kid
is a goat and while goats are all right
in their way, children are better. The
dictionary says "kid" applied to child
is slang. And so it is. 1t depreciates
the child. There is no sense in taking
away the dignity of a child by calling
him an animal. says the Columbus (O.)
State Journal. We must KEEP up the
human relation, where respect, sym
pathy, love dwell The older people
may overlook the false appellation, but
it stays with the child and makes
him feel, after ALL that ne Is only a
little goat, and that his fond delight
is in eating old rags and paper boxes
Really, the child is an angel, rather
than goat, and is entitled to the
sweet considerations that belong to
human being; and if he does not get
these it is very likely he will be sort
of goat all his life. So drop the kid
vocabulary and give the child every
chance TO be true human.
