dark, they might like it in Wood
ville."
So off to Woodville they trotted.
and under the tree where Mr.. Owl
lived they began their music.
When Mr.. Owl heard the terrible
noise outside, he ducked under the
clothes and hid. for what was after
him he could not think.
But after n while, as nothing hap
pened but the noise, Mr.. Owl poked
out his head, and then got up. But
instead of getting out of the right
side of his bed. as he first started to
do, he got out this time on the wrong
side, which made him very cross.
He ran to the window and threw 1t
up with hang. and Tom Kitten and
Bah Rabbit were sure this time they
were to get mouse or a radish.
Each held up his hat and said (:
"Pity two poor orphans and give us
something"
"I'll give you something" said Mr..
Owl, for he was cross when he went
to the window. but when he saw who
1t was he was crOsser than ever.
Mr.. Owl did not wait to dress. He
flew right out of the window just as
he was, in his night cap and slippers,
and down he pOunced upon the two
orphans.
He carried them up to his window,
and there is no knowing what would
have happened If the window had
been large enough for Mr. Owl and
Tom Kitten and Bah Rabbit to get
through all at once, but 1t wasn't, and
Mr. Owl, thinking Tom Kitten was n
rabbit and could not get away, he sat
him down on limb of the tree until
he could put Bah Rabbit inside.
No sooner did he let 60 of Tom
Kitten than away he went down the
tree and off at his best running speed.
Old Mr.. Owl was so surprised that
he dropped poor Bah Rabbit, and the
moss under the tree was thick. and
so when he struck 1t Bah Rabbit
jumped up pretty quick and ran hip
perty-hop-leap away from around Mr..
Owls home.
Tom Kitten and Bah Rabbit had a
very hard time explaining how they
tore their clothes. and to punish them
their mothers made them stay in bed
all the next day. and you may be sure
that neither of them ever again want
ed to play orphans.

BELONG TO HOLIDAY SEASON
Christmas Festivities Would Not Be
Complete Without the Holly and
the Mistletoe.

Several thousand tons of holly as
well as hundreds of tons of mistletoe
are shipped over the railroads each
year before the opening of the holi
day season. The mistletoe is placed
in small packages because it is easy
the plant is more rare and costly.
Holly abOunds all over the world.
over 100 species having been deter
mined, but only IA varieties are to be
found in the United States. The finest
American species of holly is the Hex
Opaca. but the mountain holly is also
choice variety. The English holly
has sturdier leaf, and more vivid
and lustrOus green. The wood of the
holly is very hard and smooth in the
grain, and is almost equal to box
wood for engraving purposes. while
its leaves are the emblem of fore
thought because of the protection CIV
en- to the buds by the defensive
thorns.
The holly. however, is not so high
ly priced for the Christmas season as
the mistletOe, which is rare delicate
and beautiful and the source of may
ancient Druidic legends. In the Unit
ed States mistletoe is chiefly found in
the southern states. while that used
in England Is chiefly produced in the
orchards of Normandy. 1t is also the
state flower of Oklahoma.

Fish Comfortable Under Ice.

BY the way. says n writer In the
Kansas City Star. the water never
gets colder than about 30 degrees, be-
low the Ice. So no matter how cold
the day. and no matter how thick the
ice upon the stream or lake. the fishes
are enjoying temperature Of about
80 degrees. and they move about in
the water and gather supplies very
well at that temperature. Through
the clear ice one may see fish with
their backs against 1t, where the tenn
perature must be 32 degrees, and II
sou strike the ice Immediately above
them with the back of an ax, or n
sledge hammer. you will kill the fish.
The concussion does the business and
the fish will turn up its white belly
against the ice. A dead fish floats
with its belly upward. always. II is n
common enough thing In some regions
Cor boys to kill fish through the ice,
and then to cut a hole and get them
out.

Orange Blossoms and Brides.

Various theories have been given
regarding the use of orange blossoms
as bridal ornaments. The Gus
tom is supposed to have been brought
to Europe by the Crusaders from the
East, the Saracen brides being accus-
toned to wear orange wreaths at
their marriage. To this objection was
raised that although the orange tree
was brought to England as early as
1890. 1t was long before there was
any real cultivation of it even in
greenhouses. A second theory is that
orange blossoms came to be worn by
brides on their marriage because they
were not only scented but also We're
rare and costly. and so within the
reach of only the noble and rich. that
Indicating the bride had TO be of high
rank. A third is that orange bridal
wreaths had their origin in Spain.
where oranges have been cultivated
for centuries Thence the fashion
passed to France, and by means OF
French millinery was spread to other
lands.

CLIMB THAT REQUIRED NERVE
English Workman Went 450 Feet In
Air to Make Repairs to Marconi
Wireless Mast.

The Morning Post of London gives
the description of climb performed
by workman in the employ of the
MarcOni company at their works in
Chelmsford. A short time ago the
highest part of wireless mast 450
feet high. higher than the cross on
the top Of st. Paufs, was broken by n
gale. How was 1t to be repaired?
Ladders were out Of the question. But
the difficulties did not daunt one of
the workmen, who noticed that the
mast was made of quarter-sectlons
bOlted together and then fitted one on
top OF the other. He asked, and was
given permission, to try the climb. He
made himself belt, at the two ends
of which were riags that would slip
over the ends OF the bolts Thus
equipped he started to mount on high,
the bolts being his only means of
support. On the first day he swarmed
up 200 feet, fitted the tackle, and
descended to earth, for it was too cold
to proceed farther On the second day
he was hoisted up the 200 feet, and
then, hand over hand by means of his
rings and bolts. he got to the top of
the mast where he effected the neceS-
sary repairs. The last go feet of
mans name was Post.

A business man who was raised far
enough away from New York still to
say "ma'am" when he speaks to a
strange woman was recently confront
ed with n new angle of one of the
major transportation problems of city
life.
His theory is that since women have
sought and found equal opportunity in
business and in politics, a tired man
should have an equal opportunity in
the seat lottery on the way home at
night. 1t isn't fixed rule, but lie
has the exceptions to it pretty well In
mind. He will not take seat II there
is woman standing near 1t. He will
yield his seat to an elderly woman,
and-this is cardinal exception-to
woman with baby.
But he did not have the answer
ready the other night when he looked
mp from his paper to find clinging to
the strap before him handsome
young woman with a poodle under her
arm.
The hero of this experience is

dog isn't baby; n woman who will
carry one on the subway in the rush
hour isn't tired working GIRL" II

woman with the pup every man in the
