ONE-REEL YARNS
The Tunnel OF Moles.

Behind the big oak at the end
Of the backyard, and under a pile
of discarded, rickety lumber. was
the entrance to the famous Qn
that particular neighborhood)
tunnel under the fence"
1t was much easier OF course
to climb the fence than to crawl
through the tunnel. II was
more sanitary, too. And II was
still easier and still more sani-
tary to go out the back gate
and through the alley to the
next yard. But q tunnel Is a
thing Of adventure. So all the
fellows used II.
The Tunnels Moles.
"Yo' all boys, All say. you'd
betterwatch out fo' dem moles in
dat tunnel dere." admonished old
Gabe. the gardener. "Ah tell yo'
all right heah an now, dey shore
is herce. All read in a book
dat IL de mole war as big as a
lion II would be de fierces' ami
NAL dere is. Don't you never let
no mole bite you"
Two days later the boys saw
funny little ridges in the sod
around the oak tree.
3MoIes,1 Says Old Gabe.
Gabe explained. Dose little
hills is made by de moles. Watch
out dey don't bite you In dat
tunnel. You can tell a mole
when you feel him by his soft
fur. He is bout as big as a big
rat"
II II had been exciting and ad-
venturesome to crawl through
the tunnel before, IL was now
just about twice as exciting and
adventuresome with the danger
Gus moles on every hand! And
then, two days later. one OF the
gang felt a soft furry animal In
the corner of the bottom Of the
. tunnel.
Routing the Enemy,
TT must be a mole-what will
we dor shouted Jim, the fear
less leader Of the gang. as the
members gathered around the
entrance to the tunnel.
Tools were assembled: rake,
spade, fiashlight. ak and a bas-
ket for the dead body.
A few hasty shovelfuls and the
: tunnel was laid open. Then old
Gabe, who had been watching
the proceedings, threw back Ms
head and fell against the oak,
laughing for all he was worth.
There in a nest were three
furry animals, blind like moles,
and yet not moles.

Betsy and Marie and Ethel had

They had Just boarded a crowded
street car for home. Betsy was the
hrst In. There was an old man
standing near the door. As she
climbed into the car she acci-
dentally stepped on his foot.
He WINGED slightly. but said
nothing. He merely turned his
head toward Betsy.
Betsy saw the old gentleman
look at her. She became a bit
fused. She hadn't meant to step
on his foot. and certainly he
didn't look as though he thought
she had. Then this question
popped into her mind: Should I
beg his pardon. or will the girls
think I am silly IL I do?"
Betsy Decides.
It took Betsy but one second
to decide.
With an apologetical smile she
spoke to the old man. II beg

WIND SCATTERED HIS WARES
Been Excused II He Made q
Few Warm Remarks.

A toy-balloon merchant, all but hid
den under a fantastic, dancing cluster
OF brilliant wares, was making his
way northward In Meridian street,
when he met a foe in the form of an
April wind. The man emerged from
the protection of the Board of Trade
building and started on the run across
Ohio street, when the coy spring
zephyr reached forth and plucked q
handful Of the varicolored merchan-
disc.
Strange red, green, yellow and blue
bubbles, like bits of whimsical clouds,
went bounding and sailing eastward
along Ohio street, much to the amaze
mcnt of distressed patients sitting in
dentists chairs before windows in the
me-Mansur building. Pedestrians
gazed aloft and gasped. Then came q
scramble, In which for the most part
little boys and girls were victorious.
Soon the stray balloons were led cap
tive away, while the balloon merchant
continued onward along Meridian
street holding converse with himself.

RULED BY THINGS MATERIAL
Writer Asserts That Americans Are
Behind Rest Of World In In
teIIectuaI Progress.

1t Is, I think, true to say that the
material progress of America has
enormously surpassed the intellectual
progress, writes st. John Ervine in the
Century magazine. That is why Eu-
ropean, visiting the United States, Is
disconnected to find men of immense
power In business talking like children
In an elementary school about litera-
ture and art.
1t was this absorption in material
things which, though 1t has made Am
erican domestic life easily the most
comfortable In the world, left America
a good deal at the mercy Of the old
and ravenous diplomats Of Europe in
the peace conference. Culture, given
by contemplation Of art and literature,
Is the power to know and understand
human nature and motives. Centuries
Of familiarity with the garnered
beauty and learning Of the world have
gone to the making of the European
statesman, but only a generation or
two Of intimate knowledge of great
businesses and the machinery had gone
to the making Of the American delega-
don.
The great expanse Of America, the
fact that its resources are still unde-
veloped. and that fortunes seem very
easily TO be made by men whose wits
are both agile and accommodating,
make the temperance of its high gen.
eral culture difficult. The standards Of
America are constantly being displaced
by the Eruption Of newly enriched
men, who pass from poverty to afflu-
ence so rapidly that while they have
the means for life of culture, they
have not the mentality for it.
