ABOUT THE STARS
Some Myths Concerning The Great
Rear


A very pretty legend concerning thi.
constellation comes to us from n
source much nearer home than we
would expect, it being a tradition of
the Iriquois Indians. AS the story
goes:
A very long time ago. a party of In
dian hunters. during a time of famine,
decided to kill the bear and. arming
themselves started in pursuit. first
Transforming themselves into birds to
be the better prepared for the long
Journey. One, noted for his wisdom.
.took on the form of the owl. others the
Magpie. the Pigeon. the Jay bird, the
Robin and Chic-a-dee. They set out
early in the spring time as soon as the
Bear was out of his den, and followed
him around and around for many
moons, but finally became weak and
almost exhausted in the chase. The
owl, owing to his great weight was the
first to fall by the wayside. Then the
Jaybird, the Pigeon and others prov
ed to he slaclSers while the little Chic
a-dee stuck to the trail and after a
weary chase came upon his prey late
in Autumn. But when brought to bay
bruin put up a viscious fight which
might have proven too much for his
small foe had not the Robin came up
in the nick of time armed with his bow
and arrow and by well directed shot
slew the monster The birds had
voracious appetites, by this time and
began to devour their prey greedily.
In doing so the Robin became covered
with blood and flew up onto a nearby
tree and shook his feathers with great
energy, and in so doing hespattered the
leaves with many tints, and strange to
relate, each autumn since that day the
leaves change their color into varied
hues The Robin succeeded in remoy-
ing the blood stains with the exception
of a spot upon his breast, and the
Chic-a-dee remarked, ,N"You will carry
that spot upon your breast as. long as
your name is Robin" Thine Magpie
now arrived. just in time for the feast.
a habit she still retains.
The kettle in which this feast was
prepared was left hanging in the sky
and can still be seen in the form of
small star very near to Mizar at the
bend in the handle of the Dipper. I

How to Get Rid of Your Rheumatisn
Loss of Appetite.

AS general rule there Is nothing
serious about loss of appetite. and
IL you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for "a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as TO give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then IL you eat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable. amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
OF Chamberlain's Tablets will do It.
